The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 643: The Gift of Nature (Part 2)

I don't know whether it is the blood of Atlantis that makes Arthur extra strong, or he is just born powerful. In short, it is not difficult for him to survive in the primeval forest. Cutting and carrying wood is just the beginning.

What Arthur has to do is very simple, that is, place the cut wood horizontally on the ground, then place the entire refrigerator horizontally on the cylindrical wood as a chassis, and then put other materials on it.

When pushing the refrigerator, the wood becomes a wheel, which saves effort and moves faster.

Although, for Hal and Schiller, it may be much faster to lift it directly, but since it is agreed not to cheat, it is better to use a method that ordinary people can use.

This is a square refrigerator with double doors. It should be custom-made to fit the special space in the aircraft cabin. After the power is cut off, it no longer has the cooling function, but at least it can be used as a storage box. Moreover, the insulation layer of the refrigerator can also Let the food melt slowly until you return to the cooler cave.

Due to the weight of the rolling log itself, some herbaceous plants will be directly crushed and will not hinder the way forward. When the refrigerator rolls to the front log, it is necessary to move the back wood to the front Go, at this time basically the three of them take turns.

The special abilities of Hal and Schiller made them hardly feel tired, but what was surprising was that Arthur could also keep up and never fall behind.

From here to the cave where they stayed before, there was a short distance, but until the end, Arthur didn't look tired, and when he moved the refrigerator to the cave, he still had time to chat, he said: Speak Really, it reminds me of when I went out to sea with the fleet.

You may not know how tiring ocean fishing is. When I was 17 years old, I went out to sea to catch tuna with my uncle, and I didn't sleep for four days...

Schiller lifted the front of the refrigerator and asked over his shoulder, Are you looking at the fish finder?

No, of course not, how can I do that kind of work, I'm just an ordinary sailor, responsible for catching fish. Arthur shook his head and said: At that time, we didn't meet tuna, but it didn't matter, originally tuna was Rare fish, bluefin and yellowfin tuna are hard to come by.

But at that time, we happened to meet a school of skipjack, which is also very sold, and because they were in large groups, the catch was very large. During those few days, we just lowered the net, collected the net, lowered the net, Close the net, eat some hamburgers when you are hungry, drink some energy drinks when you are exhausted, or go to smoke a cigarette...

However, the hard work pays off. At that time, there was a shortage of dried bonito, and the catch was sold for a lot of money. This also made my uncle's business better. After he got older, he stopped doing it. The distant water fishing business has gone, and instead it has started to be a dealer of various fishing boats.”

He is the best captain. Arthur said proudly, but soon, he sighed with some regret, and said, Actually, my father was also a legendary captain when he was young, and even the entire East Coast echoed With the name of Captain Curry...

At that time, he brought back a blue marlin that set a new fishing record on the east coast. It is difficult for me to describe how big this fish is, but everyone was shocked. He was the captain of good luck who was all the rage at the time.

But for some reason, he didn't go out to sea later, stayed in Bludhaven, and became a lighthouse keeper. Many crew members felt sorry for him. My uncle also persuaded him, but no matter what, he I don’t even want to go to sea again.”

Arthur looked forward, and he could still see the blue water in the gap of the dense rainforest. He said: There is a legend of an old sailor who followed him. He met a siren on the sea and experienced a series of dangerous adventures. , and finally returned to shore.

They said that he offended the sea monster and was cursed by the sea monster. From then on, he could never touch the sea again. I don't know if this is true, but I know that he often looks at the sea, and there is a longing in his eyes... ...

A few people put the refrigerator on the floor and took a rest on the spot. During the rest, Hal asked curiously: I don't mean to offend, but your mother...

My father said that she died in a shipwreck, but it must have been when I was very young. I don't remember her at all. Arthur shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk about it, and Schiller, who knew the truth, didn't care. There is no intention to remind him that this is his private matter after all.

Of course, although I don’t know the attitude of Atlantis in this universe towards human beings, but one thing must be admitted, as long as Gotham is still a coastal city, Atlantis will not be able to make big waves.

Although it is difficult for ordinary industrial pollution to threaten Atlantis in the deep sea, Gotham's industrial pollution can certainly. Taking a step back, if there is a fish that unfortunately bites the clown first and returns to the ocean , then it won't be long before Atlantis will become a gift of nature.

When the three of them moved the refrigerator and other supplies back to the cave, Oliver's eyes widened in surprise, and he said, ... Where are the passengers?

Arthur put the refrigerator on the ground and said, It wasn't the passenger plane that crashed, but the means of transportation I came to California. The pilot Hal wanted to drive this plane to find me, but unfortunately it crashed.

Don't worry about these, let's see the gifts of nature. Schiller walked to the refrigerator, and after opening the door, he found that most of the things in the frozen layer had melted, but the things in the cold layer were preserved. It's not too bad.

Most of the food in the frozen layer is meat and seafood. In this temperature environment, this kind of food cannot be stored for a long time. Schiller knew this, so he simply turned out all the meat that started to melt. Get ready to do it all at once.

Many people know that if you want to prolong the preservation time of meat, you must use a kind of seasoning, that is salt, but the salt obtained in the food storage room of the plane is only a small jar, which is packed in a very common Western food seasoning bottle Here, it is okay to sprinkle a little seasoning when grilling meat, but if you want to treat meat with salt, this amount is definitely not enough.

But fortunately, this island has both seawater and freshwater, that is to say, the most basic conditions for salt production are met. As long as they use the method of seawater salt production, they can get salt to process meat.

At present, these meats can be stored for a short period of time in caves with relatively low temperatures. During this period, it should be enough to spend a part of the salt to process them.

Schiller had the theory of sea salt drying in his mind, but he never put it into practice. When he raised this point, several people looked at each other in blank dismay. After all, in modern society, salt has become a seasoning that can be seen everywhere. Unexpectedly, even Arthur and Oliver, who lived in a seaside city, had never personally made salt from seawater.

Schiller plans to use these relatively fresh food to cook a meal, and then assign work to each other to start a real desert island survival journey.

Among the four, only Schiller and Hal can cook. The food made by Arthur and Oliver can only be said to be edible, not tasteful at all, so Schiller and Hal each took part in the cooking. The responsibility of the dish.

The conditions in the cave are very limited. There must be no stove, and there is only a stone pot and the stone slabs that were made before, and there is not even a grill or a shelf to support the stone pot.

Arthur saw the piece of wood he had brought back with a saw, cut it into a stick, and built a simple frame, which was propped above the flame, so that the stone pot could be hung on the frame for cooking.

After that, Arthur began to try to burn charcoal, but probably because of the special properties of palm wood, it was difficult for charcoal to keep burning and heat, so he had to build a similar shelf to support the stone slabs.

Although the stream water outside can also be used, but because it has not been allowed to stand still, there will be some impurities, and several people are a little hungry, and do not want to wait for the stream water to stand still, Hal climbed up the coconut tree, picked a few coconuts, As a source of water for cooking.

This kind of coconut tree is not specially used for eating, so the leaves are very small, and the coconut milk has no taste, but it is enough for cooking.

Schiller first used the previous metal saw to make a gap in the coconut, then poured the coconut milk into the pot, rummaged through the vegetables in the refrigerator to find some dried mushrooms, and heated the coconut milk to a temperature of about 50 or 60 degrees. When it's time to cook, throw the mushrooms in, and find a stone slab to cover the pot.

After cooking for about a minute, when the water starts to boil, take the pot away, pour out the water, throw in the chicken pieces cut with stones, crack open a few coconuts, pour in the coconut milk and blanch the water again, After pouring off the water, add coconut milk to submerge the ingredients, and start to simmer.

The rest of the meat was handed over to Hal, but instead of frying the meat on a slate at the beginning, he took out the melted oysters and shrimp from the refrigerator.

Peel out the oyster meat and the shrimp meat. After frying the juice, chop the two ingredients, then add the peeled tomato, chop and fry until cooked.

Then, take out the previous shrimp head, put it on a high-temperature slate and stir-fry the shrimp oil, and mix the shrimp oil with the previously made sauce to become an orange-red hoisin sauce.

In Seaside City, this is the seafood sauce that every restaurant uses for seasoning, but generally we use smaller clams and the kind of shrimp that can't be taken out for sale. Although they are not as big as these ingredients, they taste better. Delicious.

Arthur and Oliver were almost crazy about the aroma of the things they made. Not to mention the stewed chicken with mushrooms is a golden combination. The smell and aroma of meat can permeate the entire cave through the slate cover.

And the seafood sauce made by Hal is even more fragrant, because the slate itself is not covered, and the smell of cooked food will make everyone who is extremely hungry move their index fingers.

I can't wait, hurry up, I want to eat now, my stomach is already protesting with hunger... Arthur squatted on the edge of the stone slab, waiting for the first time the pot was ready to eat.

Although Oliver didn't speak, it was only because of his noble son's last restraint. He didn't want to act like someone who had never seen the world, but he had been hungry for so many days, and obviously wanted to eat as soon as possible of.

However, Schiller and Hal have never tried cooking in such an environment, and the barren conditions aroused their enthusiasm for creation.

Schiller took out a few slices of bread and put them on the lid of the stone pot. Because the open flame lit by the branches was very strong, the flames engulfed the whole stone pot and made the stone board on it very hot. Schiller put the slices of bread After the toast is slightly hard, start breaking the bread slices.

After the bread slices are very broken, add a small amount of coconut milk and mix it into a paste, then spread it into cakes, fry it into pancakes, fry the beef until it is about half-cooked, chop the onion and pepper, and spread it on the After the beef is served, it is rolled into pancakes along with the cheese.

Because the pancakes are relatively small, they look more like dumplings than tacos. However, because the dough made of bread cannot be pinched, it is more like a folded miniature pizza.

Seeing this scene, Hal knew that he had to show his hand. He brought a piece of pork tenderloin and a piece of pork belly. First, he fried the pork belly in oil, then cut the pork tenderloin into minced meat and fried it slightly in oil. Mix it with the previous hoisin sauce.

Take a large coconut, break it open, cut off the top half, keep the coconut juice inside, then take the dry spaghetti into it, put it on the fire under the stone slab to heat.

The pasta becomes soft very quickly. Before the coconut shell is burned, the noodles are almost cooked. Stir the cooked pasta with the seafood meat sauce, and then bring the four coconut shells used before. After the fire is slightly heated, put a small piece of butter at the bottom, divide the pasta into four parts, sprinkle with grated cheese, and the seafood bolognese cheese coconut spaghetti is ready.

Seeing this scene, Schiller knew that he had to show his true skills. When he started to roll up his sleeves, Arthur, who was already dizzy from hunger, rushed up to stop him and said, Professor, it's okay, this is not Michelin. The game scene, let's start eating...

Schiller squinted at the proud Hal, and said: No, you have to respect my food, get out of the way, I remember there is still a whole duck in the refrigerator, it should have melted by now, I'll go Make a clay oven and show you what a real roast duck is...

Oliver, who was lying on the ground, almost didn't come up, and Arthur was also lying on the ground. Apart from helplessness, he was really hungry and had no strength.

Half an hour later, Bruce, who found the cave along the smoke, stood at the entrance of the cave, looking suspiciously at the two people who were about to faint from hunger, and the table of delicious food.
