Chapter 104 Seafood Dinner
Chen Zhe took Yan'er to walk around the beach and probably picked up enough ingredients for dinner.
Judging by the quantity of ingredients, the most abundant products in this sea area are squid and shrimp, while crabs and shellfish are less.
In addition to these seafood, Chen Zhe also found several very rare sea cucumbers. The system determined that these sea cucumbers are all very precious plum ginseng. This sea cucumber is delicious in meat and expensive, making it a rare and precious food.
Seeing that it was almost dark, Chen Zhe and Yan'er reluctantly left the "Seafood Supermarket".
They had to rush to raise the bonfire before dark.
Fortunately, when I was passing by the woods just now, Chen Zhe picked up some firewood. Although there were some branches by the beach, because of the high humidity, the branches here were all tide and could hardly be ignited.
The woods in the woods have less humidity and are suitable for making fires.
The two of them retreated from the beach and walked all the way to the shore. After walking a distance of five or six hundred meters, Chen Zhe stopped.
Yan'er was a little tired from leaving and asked in confusion: "Brother Chen, is it necessary for us to be so far from the beach?"
"Of course it's necessary." Chen Zhe nodded, "The island is now in low tide, but it will rise in the early morning. Judging from the traces of the rising tide, the part we walked past will be flooded by sea water."
"So that's how it is..." Yan'er finally understood the reason.
After retreating to safety, Chen Zhe chose the last camping location next to two coconut trees. Of course, he had to avoid directly below the coconut trees, because mature coconuts sometimes fall naturally.
If you happen to sleep underneath, your head may be unfortunately hit by the coconut.
After a period of training on the island, Chen Zhe was already very good at making fires. He used a sharp branch to drill a piece of charcoal brought from the camp, and soon ignited the fire.
Immediately afterwards, the firewood was lit and the bonfire was set off. At this time, the sunset in the sky just soaked into the sea, dyeing the sea level in the distance red.
Looking at the burning bonfire, Yan'er's stomach suddenly started to scream again.
In the human subconscious, flames and food are often inseparable from each other, so when you see the flames, hungry people will become more hungry.
Yan'er felt a little embarrassed and asked: "Brother Chen, how do we deal with these ingredients? What do I need to make?"
Chen Zhe said: "The most important thing in eating seafood is to eat fresh food. These seafood are just coming out of the sea and do not require any processing. Just eat them directly."
"Then we...bake it and eat it? Or cook it?" Yan'er asked again.
However, after asking, Yan'er suddenly realized a problem - although the two of them are not short of food at the beach, they do not have enough fresh water.
In addition, if you want to cook or steam seafood, they don’t have a suitable container. The only thing to boil water is the military kettle provided by the program team. The stingy program team didn’t even give them a pot.
"It seems that we can't cook seafood, it seems that we can only roast seafood." Yan'er said a little disappointed.
Among all cooking methods, steaming can best maintain the umami flavor of seafood, cooking is second, and roasted seafood is even worse.
Chen Zhe smiled and said, "You wait a moment, I'll go find something."
After that, he turned around and left the camp before it was completely dark. Yan'er was puzzled when she saw it - what medicine is sold in Brother Xiao Chen's gourd?
After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Zhe finally came back.
But he did not come back empty-handed, but walked back with a few heavy stones.
Seeing these stones, Yan'er looked confused and asked weakly: "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"
Chen Zhe smiled gently: "Of course it's steamed seafood."
"Steam seafood? Use stones?" Yan'er couldn't understand. What a slutty operation?
Chen Zhe did not rush to explain, but handed the wooden barrel to Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, help me get a sea water."
"Okay, OK."
Although Yan'er didn't understand what Chen Zhe was going to do, she believed that Chen Zhe must have his own way.
If you listen to Brother Chen’s words, you will definitely not suffer any losses.
The little girl picked up the bucket and turned around to the beach to fill the sea water. Chen Zhe picked up the stones and threw them into the bonfire.
When Yan'er returned from picking up the sea water, she saw Chen Zhe burning stones in the bonfire. This made her stunned and she was shocked.
Chen Zhe looked up at the shocked Yan'er, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, Yan'er, why are you stupid?"
Yan'er pointed to the stone in the bonfire and asked, "Brother Chen...you burn...why are you burning the stone?"
"Of course it's for steaming seafood." Chen Zhe explained.
"Burn stones...steam seafood?" Yan'er still couldn't figure it out, where is this?
At this time, Chen Zhe stood up, took the wooden barrel from Yan'er's hand, and then used two thick branches to clamp the hot stones burned in the bonfire and gently put them in the wooden barrel.
With a "squeak" sound, the sea water in the wooden barrel encountered a scalded stone and immediately evaporated the steam. Chen Zhe quickly put the crabs and sea cucumbers on the wooden barrel, thus achieving steaming seafood.
Seeing this, Yan'er finally understood Chen Zhe's "slutty operation". The little girl was completely impressed by this homemade "steamer". She clapped her hands and said, "Brother Chen, your move is so awesome!"
Chen Zhe smiled and said, "In this way, Yan'er can eat delicious steamed crabs and steamed sea cucumbers."
"That's great." Yan'er happily hugged Chen Zhe's arm and shook it, then said, "By the way, I'll go grill squid."
"Okay." Chen Zhe nodded, handed Yan'er the skewers of squids to her and let her bake them on the bonfire.
But he was not idle either, but took the blood-drinking knife to pick up coconuts under the coconut tree.
There are the most coconuts on the beach, and they are all over the place. Chen Zhe was picky and finally found two of them with good looks.
Using a blood-drinking knife to open a mouthful of the coconut shell, Chen Zhe picked up the coconut and started drinking it.
"Gudonggudong..."
The coconut milk flows into the mouth, slightly light and not particularly sweet.
"No... this taste is not perfect."
Chen Zhe frowned slightly, thinking about it dissatisfiedly.
Since you eat the most delicious seafood, you must drink the sweetest coconut milk.
So he turned on the system without hesitation and began artificial modifications to coconut milk.
【A regular coconut】—Upgrade—【A delicious coconut】.
I picked it up and tasted it, and the coconut juice turned sweet and mellow.
"That's right!"
Chen Zhe was finally satisfied now, nodded in praise, and returned to the bonfire with two big coconuts, and smiled at Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, come, drink coconut juice!"
Yan'er quickly got up and took the coconut, picked it up and tasted it, and then smiled sincerely:
"Wow... Brother Chen, this coconut milk is so delicious..."
