Chapter 109: Finding Joy in Suffering

Back at the camp, Jiang Hao and Martha put all their equipment together, knowing what they had, which was crucial for survival in the wild, Martha counted carefully:

"A backpack, a sleeping bag, an aluminum pot, three kettles, three knives, a bundle of half-ropes, three dried smoked fish, a dozen coconuts, that's all we have." Martha spreads her hands.

Originally, a dozen smoked dried fish were enough for the two of them to eat for four or five days, but now there is only one day's supply.

The rest is good to say, that is, there is only one sleeping bag, and sleeping at night is a big problem.

Jiang Hao clapped his hands, "Okay, it doesn't look that bad, all we have to do now is prepare food for tomorrow, in fact, it's time to change the recipe, and we also found fresh water, which is the biggest harvest today." ”

Maintaining an optimistic mindset is essential for survival in the wild.

"Let's go hunting in the sea together, and this time I'm going to catch a fish the size of you." Martha said.

When the two came to the beach, Jiang Hao took off his clothes and only left a pair of shorts, in fact, if Martha was not there, he could go into battle naked. Martha is also very open, leaving only a pair of bottoms and a small vest, revealing her figure.

Tight wheat-colored skin, plump upper body, faint fish-man line can be seen on the waist, straight buttocks, 1.7 meters tall, it is really a perfect figure, and a short chestnut hair makes a woman look delicate and beautiful, Jiang Hao has the urge to whistle.

Martha picked at Jiang Hao sideways and said, "Let's have a competition to see who catches more prey, how about it." ”

"Okay."

"Do you want to gamble on something?" Martha smiled slyly.

"Bong, what do you want to bet on?"

"Just bet on the ownership of the sleeping bag at night."

"No problem."

The two of them each held a dagger bundled spear in their hands, and dived into the sea together, Martha was in the water like a mermaid returning home, and swam forward quickly with a slight swing, with a beautiful posture, Jiang Hao then remembered that this girl used to practice swimming and crush herself in this regard.

However, when she swims, because she is not a special swimsuit, she only wears shorts and a small vest, and when she swims, the small tank top sways with the water waves from time to time, revealing more charm.

Jiang Hao obviously didn't have the luck before, he ran out in one breath, and he didn't see any suitable prey, so he hurriedly came up to breathe, and just as he was about to dive for the second time, Martha came out of the water and saw Jiang Hao shouting happily, "Look what I caught." ”

Raising the dagger and spear, I saw a large lobster with the thickness of an arm tied to the head of the spear, a good fellow, estimated to weigh four or five pounds.

"It was amazing, we could grill lobster for dinner in the evening."

In the next half an hour, Martha harvested another lobster and a sea cucumber, Jiang Hao only forked a fish weighing three or four catties, and he didn't know what the name was.

The two returned to the garrison with the harvest, rested for a while and began to get busy with dinner, and the chef was naturally Jiang Hao.

When dinner was ready, Jiang Hao asked Martha to sit down, took out a wide rubber leaf and put it on the ground, and placed a grilled lobster on it, and the back of the lobster was slashed open, revealing the white and tender shrimp meat inside.

"Welcome to the Coastal Restaurant, today's main meal is charcoal-grilled lobster, in order to maintain the original flavor of the lobster, the chef did not add extra condiments, charcoal fire slightly grilled, lobster meat mixed with charcoal fire slightly fragrant, has a unique flavor."

As he spoke, he cut off a piece of lobster meat with a knife, filled it with a clean rubber leaf, and placed it in front of Martha, "Please taste it beautiful Miss Martha." ”

Martha was already overjoyed, but she still tried to hold back a smile and nodded to Jiang Hao: "Thank you, Mr. Chef." ”

Picking up the lobster meat with chopsticks and putting it in her mouth, chewing it carefully, Martha couldn't help but nodded, "The taste is indeed very good." ”

There is no professional tableware, in the wild, in fact, chopsticks are the simplest and most convenient, Jiang Hao taught Martha for two days, and now she can basically use chopsticks to pick up large things.

Jiang Hao took out two more conches and used this leftover soup, "Miss Martha, please taste the sea cucumber cauliflower soup." ”

In addition to sea cucumbers, there are also some purple seaweed and white vegetables in the soup, and Martha asked curiously, "What are these, can you eat them?" ”

"Of course, purple is a kind of seagrass, and there are hundreds of seaweeds and seaweeds in the ocean, most of which are non-toxic, and there are more than a dozen species that are often eaten by humans, and this is just one of them, which can supplement the trace elements we need."

"As for these white vegetables, they are the cores of the palm trees."

Martha was surprised and asked, "Can palm cores be eaten too?" ”

"Of course, although it is slightly bitter, it is necessary for the body to cool and detoxify, and to replenish all kinds of vitamins we need." Jiang Hao said.

Martha took the soup and suddenly said to Jiang Hao: "I found that you know a lot, I used to think you were a novice outdoors, but now I find that I am a rookie, and I really chose you right." ”

Jiang Hao smiled: "These are not the knowledge learned outdoors, but the knowledge of the chef, you know, China is a big country of food, the range of ingredients is vast, beyond the imagination of you foreigners, well, sometimes it is beyond the imagination of us Chinese." ”

It's really hard to count how many kinds of ingredients there are in China.

Is there anything else on earth that can't be eaten.

It seems that there are only two ways to divide animals and plants in China, which can be eaten and those that cannot be eaten.

After dinner, the two came to the beach for a walk, under the sunset, leaving the footprints of the two, for the wild survivors, walking is a luxury thing, they have to endure hunger, they have to conserve their physical strength, like Jiang Hao and Martha, I am afraid there are only two of them.

At night, naturally, Martha used a sleeping bag, Jiang Hao was lying next to her in clothes, and the two chatted for a long time before going to sleep.

This is tropical, and the temperature at night is also about 23 or 4 degrees, which is not cold, and when he woke up, Jiang Hao just wanted to get up, but found that Martha's head was on his shoulder, like a girlfriend snuggled in his arms.

Jiang Hao smiled faintly, got up gently, took three kettles, went to the water point and fetched three pots of water and came back, and when he came back, he found that Martha had already gotten up and was cooking breakfast, boiling the remaining sea cucumber soup from last night in an aluminum pot, and putting some smoked dried fish in it.

To be honest, the grilled lobster I made last night was not bad, what kind of sea cucumber cauliflower soup can be described as unpalatable, but survival in the wild, the taste is already in the last place, it can fill the stomach, replenish physical strength, and supplement the vitamins needed by the body, which is already a good thing.

The two drank half a pot of dried fish and sea cucumber soup, Martha proposed to see if they could find their backpacks and sleeping bags, that damn Brooke threw their sleeping bags into the sea, Jiang Hao slept in the open last night, Martha was a little unhappy.

"How to find it if you are thrown into the sea." Jiang Hao said.

"What if it's washed back by the waves?" Martha said.
