Challenge the wilderness to survive

Chapter 54 The Soup Is A Little Salty

Scrape off the fish scales, cut the belly of the fish with a file, and dig out the gills.

Xu Yi's movements are still a bit jerky, so the movements are not fast.

However, he is very patient.

Xu Yi cleaned up one fish after another, and occasionally looked up at Su Keke.

There are a lot of snails in the creek, so Su Keke doesn't need to go very far, he can pick up a small handful in the same place.

In this way, Xu Yi was more at ease and continued to deal with the small fish in the bucket.

Because it needs to scrape the scales, it takes more time.

It took more than an hour for Xu Yi to clean up all the small fish.

"There are more than 30 crabs, and today's breakfast is rich."

Crabs also need to be washed, but you don’t have to wash them all.

This stuff can't be eaten as a meal, it is enough to cook half of it.

"Huh, two more shrimps?"

Xu Yi found that there were two small shrimps with the big index fingers at the bottom of the bucket, and smiled happily.

"Coco, we should go back and cook breakfast."

Xu Yi shouted, Su Keke was more than a hundred meters away from him, and he could still be heard.

"Dad, I heard it, I'm back now."

Su Keke responded loudly, then turned and walked down the stream.

She has gained a lot. Not only did she pick up a basket of stream snails, but she also packed a lot in her snakeskin backpack.

There are too many stream snails here, and she only picked the big ones.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Su Keke returned to Xu Yi's side.

"Dad, there are too many stream snails here, they are all full here, and I can't fit them."

Su Keke patted the basket on his body and smiled very happily.

Although the snails have little meat, they are delicious.

Well, of course it must be provided with sufficient seasoning.

If there is no seasoning, there is not much flavor.

Xu Yi still likes to eat stream snails, and occasionally sits aside when he gets tired and makes a beer.

While chatting with stream snails, watching documentaries and drinking beer, it is the best way to relax.

Unfortunately, such days have to wait until I have won the final challenge before I can experience it again.

Pour all the snails into the bucket, and then Xu Yi returned to the camp with Su Keke.

The bonfire in the camp has no open flames, but the carbon fire has not been extinguished.

Xu Yi added some dead wood, and the flame burned again.

Pour the snails and crabs into the basket made by Su Keke last night, and Xu Yi went to pick up water.

"There are still too few containers. I still have to cut a big tree and make a few buckets."

Xu Yi currently only has one bucket, which is not enough. There are too many things to pack.

They have no place to put the boiling water.

In fact, Xu Yi really wanted to find bamboo. Bamboo is a big treasure in the wilderness.

It can be used as a container, it can also be used to boil water, cook rice, or weave various utensils.

If you find bamboo, your chances of survival will be greatly improved.

Unfortunately, Xu Yi did not have this good fortune.

After returning from lifting the water, Xu Yi directly picked up the pebbles from the fire and boiled the water.

After the four wooden bowls were installed, Xu Yi put some fish and 16 crabs into the wooden barrel to cook.

In six or five minutes, the fish and crabs will be cooked.

The temperature of the cassava is suitable.

"Dad, this fish soup has a little salty taste."

I didn't taste the salt in 8 days, so Su Ke Ke was very excited.

Xu Yi also took a sip, it was indeed salty.

Before coming to the wilderness, Xu Yi didn't quite understand what it was like to fade out the bird smell.

After coming, I have a deep understanding.

Humans are really inseparable from salty taste.

On the ninth day, Xu Yi and Su Keke were a little excited when they tasted some salt.

Salt is indeed their current headache.

Finding salt in the jungle is not an easy task.

Unless, salt mines can be found, or a plant such as S. sylvestris can be found.

Half a tapioca for two, with fish soup and crab.

The best meal I had was this morning.

"Dad, this crab shell is so soft, can I eat it?"

Su Keke chewed the small river crab and looked at Xu Yi baffledly.

"Well, yes, chew a little bit."

Xu Yi felt that the saltiness seemed to come from these crabs.

Because the saltiness of crab shells is heavy, Su Keke wants to eat all the crab shells.

"Too full, so happy."

Su Keke touched his bulging belly with a happy smile on his face.

"Don't worry, we can eat so full every day in the future."

Xu Yi became more confident now. After all, it was the ninth day today, and none of them encountered any danger.

Moreover, they still have a certain food reserve.

This river can provide them with a relatively stable source of protein.

As long as they guard the river, they will not be hungry.

If you don’t get hungry, you have enough energy to do things, make tools, and make weapons.

With enough weapons, there is nothing terrifying to encounter a beast.

After taking a rest, Xu Yi took out the two toothbrush handles that were shaved yesterday.

Xu Yi cut a piece of fine charcoal with a stone knife and drew a line on the toothbrush handle so that he could drill a row of relatively straight holes.

The hand drill is still very powerful, and Xu Yi easily drilled two rows of small holes in the toothbrush handle.

Because the drill bit is relatively large, only two rows can be drilled.

After turning both toothbrushes into holes, Xu Yi took out the bristle hair he had picked up earlier.

Then Xu Yi pulled out one of his own hair.

There is no way, he has no string, and only uses his own hair.

This is a meticulous work, and the bristles should be of appropriate thickness.It's too thick and can't be inserted into the hole.

After all, he has no glue.

Xu Yi counted the numbers, so as long as the first bundle was tried out, the rest would not make much difference.

Because the drilled holes are almost the same in size, and so are the bristles.

It is also because the hair is relatively hard, so it is easy to try the first bundle of bristles.

Just get a small bundle and insert it one by one until it can't be inserted. You can get the final quantity.

With the first bunch, the rest is done quickly.

After half an hour, Xu Yi set up the first toothbrush.

"Coco, come and try our new toothbrush."

Xu Yi asked Su Keke to try for the first time.

Su Keke put down the woven basket in his hand, took the toothbrush in Xu Yi's hand, and brushed it in his mouth.

After brushing for a while, Su Keke picked up the water in the bowl and rinsed his mouth.

"Dad, the toothbrush is soft and comfortable."

Xu Yi took the toothbrush and took a look, and found that it did not shed hair, nodded in satisfaction.

"Dad put a mark on your brushing teeth, and then we won't mess up."

With that, Xu Yi picked up a burning tree branch, and then burned it a few points.
