Chapter 55: A Delicious Dinner.
Bang bang bang.
Bang bang bang.
There was a loud sound, in the darkness of the night.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't something to be ashamed of.
Jia Long took advantage of the firelight to split the branches in front of him with the stone axe in his hand.
"That's enough."
Saying this to the drone camera flying beside him, Jia Long picked up the banana leaf 'kettle' beside him with one hand regardless of his image, and poured a large mouthful of water.
This kettle was made together with the production of plantain bags.
It is about 20 centimeters tall and 10 centimeters in diameter, and is surrounded by plantain leaves on the inside, reinforced by vines on the outside.
As long as the water leakage problem in several key places is solved, it is still very convenient to use it as a kettle.
"I'm tired."
"But we hurried and managed to cut the sticks. They'll be useful later. ”
"Just a few pieces of food should be ready."
Jia Long put down the stone axe in his hand and looked at his fingers, the delicate fingers that were originally green and green already had some blood blisters, which was essential for working with axes and other tools for a long time.
Shaking her slightly aching hand, she came to the crackling campfire.
This bonfire is not big, just a small pile of seven or eight bonfires whose main salary is burning materials.
Now there are not only Jia Long's shoes and socks roasted by the bonfire, but also a few slightly charred banana fruits inserted into small branches, burning near the fire.
Jia Long stretched out his hand to pull one of the branches with plantain sticks in it from the ground, and after smelling the fragrance, his face showed an expression of intoxication.
"It's very fragrant, different from the astringency just now, and the roasted plantain already has a fragrant aroma, so I guess the taste is not bad. How, let's try it and see. ”
After a few breaths, Jia Long reached out and peeled off the roasted slightly charred plantain skin, and the color of the flesh inside really turned slightly yellow, and there were bursts of aroma revealed.
Jia Long, who was seduced by the smell, grunted in her stomach, making her cheeks slightly red: "Don't laugh, everyone, I'm really a little hungry." ”
Lilac's little tongue licked her red lips, Jia Long gently bit the top of the roasted plantain, chewed a few bites, and then narrowed her eyes happily slightly.
"It's delicious."
She couldn't help nodding her head: "Unlike the raw fruit eaten at noon, which only has an astringent taste, the roasted plantain tastes much better, fragrant and astringent, although there is still a little weird feeling, but it is not unbearable, on the contrary, it has a unique taste, which is definitely a delicacy." ”
"6666, I'm going to eat it too."
"Master Long, I'll use the Kende duck family bucket in my hand to change careers with you."
"Roasted plantains, I've never eaten them in my life, try bananas next time."
After eating two roasted plantains, Jia Long padded her stomach, but did not touch the remaining two, she was going to treat them as a supper for a while.
In her plan, roasted plantain is just the starter for tonight.
The real staple food is someone else!
"I've eaten the appetizer, and now it's our turn to look forward to the crab the most, compared to the plantain, it's a real mountain treasure, what will it taste like?"
Next to the bonfire, Jia Long used a few stones and mixed soil to build a simple stove more than 30 centimeters high, which is actually a trench-like thing with ventilation on both sides.
At this time, in the space above the stove, there is a large 'pot' surrounded by large banana leaves at a distance from the flames.
The structure of this pot is similar to that of the banana bag, except that the middle and upper parts are reinforced by rattan rhizomes, and the middle and lower parts are cleverly bent from the structure of the plantain leaves themselves.
Because of the problem of the pot material, this simple small pot can not be too close to the flame, although there is not much water in it, it is only more than 200 milliliters, but it has been boiling for more than an hour, and now it is only smoking.
Of course, there are also a few foods that Jia Long is most looking forward to - crabs.
When the lid is opened, a burst of aroma rises.
"Wow, it's so fragrant, this is the unique fishy fragrance of aquatic creatures, as soon as I smell the smell, my saliva will flow out unconsciously."
Jia Long kept swallowing saliva.
This is not pretended, because the smell coming out of the pot is really fragrant, even if it is difficult to cook such a fragrant taste at home, let alone for a person who has been hungry for a day, this fragrance is completely unbearable.
"It's so fragrant, I'm really afraid that this smell will attract some big beasts." Jia Long looked at the surrounding night in fear.
Fortunately, it was just nightfall, and the faint sunlight was still hanging in the sky, and the average carnivorous creature was not active at this point in time.
And in fact, Jia Long still has certain precautions.
Flames are one of them, because there are more creatures in this world, and the mountains and forests are almost impossible to find, so the flames raised by humans and wild creatures are more afraid than those on earth.
The second point is the precaution of the simple hut, just now she took advantage of the darkness of the night to cut down so many branches, it was not useless.
The third is Jia Long's own combat strength, she has a stone axe in her hand, and even after a while, she is going to make a stone spear and stone knife, with these things, plus she should be careful tonight, unless her luck is too bad, otherwise there should be no big problem.
"Of course, the work of going to taste must be carried out well later, otherwise it will be death."
Jia Long knew that carnivores' sense of smell was extremely powerful, like wolves, they could smell blood within a kilometer or two, and others such as lions and tigers, even if they were not too bad.
Of course, this sense of smell or something will be discounted in the rainforest, and Jia Long also knows that there are no too large carnivorous creatures on this Nanyang Island, which is why he is so bold.
If she was really allowed to go to the African savannah of this world, she would rather drink blood every day than dare to cook something slowly.
"Ahem, I was distracted just now, now let's try it."
Jia Long was distracted for a long time, and the pair smiled awkwardly at the audience in the live broadcast room.
Pour out a little boiling water from the plantain pot, and slightly scald the chopsticks made by cutting branches as a disinfection, Jia Long couldn't wait to pick up a boiled crab in the steel.
"Look, after steaming in our simple small pot, its color turns red, which means it is fully cooked."
Jia Long pursed his lips and blew heavily, looking impatient, which made the audience in the live broadcast room laugh again.
"Hey, people who laugh at me, if you come to work in the jungle and barely eat anything for a day, you may not be as good as me." Jia Long glanced at the straight drone lens.
The drone sent by this system has extremely advanced black technology, and Jia Long's eyes and small expressions are clearly photographed in the dark night, which also makes the audience's viewing experience better.
Of course, this will also cause a little trouble for Jia Long, of course, this is already a later story.
After the crab cooled a little, Jia Long reached out and gently uncovered the shell of the crab, and the aroma and juice were suddenly more exposed inside.
"Wow, there's crab roe, it's delicious."
Jia Long couldn't wait at all, and after seeing the crab roe, he couldn't help but bite it.
The crab in her hand is not small, and there is definitely a lot of crab roe in it, and when she takes a small bite, the aroma and unique taste burst open in her taste buds, almost making her swallow her tongue into her stomach.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh...... Uh-huh......"
She didn't even have time to speak, she gestured to the camera and refused to stop.
