This forced him to stand by with a long stick and poke away the outer layer of ash that isolated the oxygen to help the burning.
This can be considered to have barely solved the problem of combustion efficiency.
But a new problem arose. Below the cave pit was a muddy humus layer about five centimeters deep, and there was still some black liquid in it.
Just poke it lightly with the stick and the burning weeds will come into contact with it.
It would be fine if it just made a hissing sound and then went out.
The key is that the smoke is very thick and very black.
There is much more smoke than the smoked lamb just now.
"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Liu was standing nearby. He didn't know what his appearance had become from the smoke, but he kept coughing.
At the same time, the efforts to remove the weeds in the pit did not stop.
After Zhang Liu's persistent efforts of adding weeds, fiddling with the fire to increase the burning efficiency, and coughing madly, he was finally burned so badly that he could not stand next to the stone.
After leaving this empty rocky area awkwardly, Zhang Liu had no choice but to run back to the cave to help Anya. As for the pit, he could only wait for it to cool down before coming back to check the situation.
However, the combustion efficiency has been significantly improved.
After the water in the pit is evaporated, the withered, yellow and black leaves will also become combustion aids.
The originally thick and large black smoke has gradually become smaller. This is a sign that the moisture inside has been completely dried out and it has begun to enter a smoldering state.
Before leaving, Zhang Liu, following the old saying, the more firewood, the higher the flame, and stuffed several handfuls of dry weeds into the fire.
And place the stirring stick in the center as a path for air circulation.
At the same time, somewhere on the island, a girl looked up at the smoke that had been floating in the sky for a long time and was gradually disappearing, with an excited look on her face.
Her appearance and dress were almost exactly the same as Qin Ruoshuang, who was bending over to pick up firewood near the cave.
The only difference is the stockings wrapped around her legs. Qin Ruoshuang's are black.
Her silk was white, but it had turned a little yellow due to the journey over the past few days.
"I hope it's rescue!" The girl muttered to herself, looking at the forest in front of her where the howling of wolves could be heard at night, and gritted her teeth.
Running outside to the beach, she began to move in the direction where the smoke was coming from.
Like Zhang Liu, the girl would rather take a detour through the beach than step into the forest at will.
........................
"Mutton skewers, mutton skewers, three for one dollar!"
Near the cave, Anya was shouting hard.
Zhang Liu and Qin Ruoshuang were sitting nearby, laughing.
With sufficient food as a support, the mental state of the three people also rose several levels.
After laughing, Zhang Liu looked at Qin Ruoshuang beside him helplessly. Anya's funny behavior at this moment was instigated by her.
She said she wanted to put on a performance, so Anya volunteered to imitate "Mutton Kebab", and the performance was really good.
"Why are you looking at me?" Qin Ruoshuang's face flushed slightly. She lowered her head and used a sharp flint to scrape a piece of coconut meat from the coconut shell. She directly picked it up and handed it to Zhang Liu's mouth, saying, "Are you hungry?"
"No..." Zhang Liu shook his head helplessly. He didn't know what to say. He just reached out to take the coconut meat handed to him by Qin Ruoshuang, then put it in his mouth and chewed it. The taste was still bland.
However, the lunch for the three of them was high in protein.
After Anya finished grilling the last three skewers of lamb in her hand, the meal had already begun.
Each person gets three skewers of lamb, a coconut, a large bowl of lamb soup, and two egg yolk fruits.
Just from the appearance, it looks pretty good and can be considered rich.
But the actual taste...
"It would be better if there was some salt." Anya took a sip of the mutton offal soup and said with a bitter face, "It's so bland and smelly..."
Qin Ruoshuang, who was eating mutton skewers, showed an expression of disbelief on her face after chewing them carefully.
Wild sheep, when cooked by famous chefs, may indeed be able to bring out the wild taste and taste better than ordinary domestic sheep.
But there is a prerequisite.
One is a famous chef.
The second is cooking.
Among Anya, Zhang Liu and Qin Ruoshuang, the only two who have a relationship with famous chefs are Anya and Qin Ruoshuang.
But they could only eat in luxurious restaurants, and occasionally the chef would come over to show off his skills for them, but that was all.
As for cooking, the three of them are still using slash-and-burn methods.
They don't even know what seasonings like wild onions, ginger, and garlic are.
Being able to cook meat over fire is already an extremely remarkable thing.
The consequence of this is that the wild goats have become wild, and the three of them cannot taste them.
However, wild mutton has its own fishy smell and mutton taste. Zhang Liu failed to bleed the meat in advance, which resulted in blood residue. The sour and bitter taste left in the meat could actually be tasted.
The lamb offal skewers for breakfast in the morning are seasoned with hunger, and they taste delicious no matter how you eat them.
For lunch, they had mutton skewers and mutton soup. With the idea of “saving the best food for last”, they ate the coconut and egg yolk fruit first.
Therefore, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya began to feel that the taste was not very good, but this did not affect them from putting it into their mouths.
Today’s hunger seasoning is indeed gone, but the hunger seasoning from a few days ago is still there!
The two girls could only fill their stomachs with fruits or seafood, and the painful experience of being hungry after a while made them lament that the food didn't taste good because there was no seasoning.
Zhang Liu, who was standing beside the two men, had quickly finished his food and was looking eagerly at the lamb ribs, lamb butt, four thighs, and several pieces of meat from unknown parts that were being smoked on the cutting rack.
"Here!" Anya gave one of the two remaining skewers of lamb to Zhang Liu and said, "Here you go!"
She saw the desire for meat in Zhang Liu's eyes.
Although Anya was also eager for meat, but when she thought about how the other party would rather starve than give her food, she chose to share her meat.
However, while handing over the mutton skewers, Anya also said to Qin Ruoshuang: "I already eat less meat this way, so don't snatch my lamb leg meat to eat at night!"
"Okay!" Trying hard to suppress a smile, Qin Ruoshuang brought the half-finished mutton offal soup to Zhang Liu and said, "Zhang Liu, my stomach is upset and these mutton offal are too hard, so you can help me eat it."
"Are you feeling stomachache?" Reaching out to take Anya's lamb skewers and putting them on the giant clam shell, Zhang Liu looked at Qin Ruoshuang nervously.
"It's okay. It may be because I have eaten too much fruit recently and can't eat too much meat all of a sudden." Qin Ruoshuang made up an excuse casually, put down the mutton soup, and then began to chew the barbecue carefully.
"Are you really okay?" Zhang Liu still looked at Qin Ruoshuang with some concern.
In this wilderness, if your stomach has problems, it will be a huge problem.
"Well, it's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable." Faced with Zhang Liu, a boy who takes everything she says seriously, Qin Ruoshuang felt a little complicated for a moment and didn't know how to comment.
But she didn't show it on her face, and continued to speak softly: "It should be fine in a while. Please help me drink the mutton soup so that I can feel better. Otherwise, it will be a waste of food!"
"Oh oh oh!" Zhang Liu quickly picked up a piece of food that might be intestines from the mutton offal soup and put it in his mouth to chew. Just as he was about to swallow it, his collar was suddenly grabbed by Anya.
"My stomach is not feeling well right now! Help me eat this piece of meat and make myself happy!" Anya blocked Zhang Liu's mouth with the remaining piece of meat and grabbed his collar with one hand. She glanced at the stunned Qin Ruoshuang and threatened Zhang Liu, who was also stunned: "Otherwise, I will also be unhappy because of wasting food!"
Section 1#Volume 1 Let’s build a settlement on a deserted island first: Chapter 56 The boy who was served and helped by two girls
how to say.
It feels good to have a piece of barbecue forced upon me by a rich lady from my former class.
After all, which boy doesn't want to be force-fed by a rich woman?
If he hadn't almost strangled me to death...
After swallowing the "food that was left over due to stomach discomfort" given by Anya and Qin Ruoshuang as a friendly favor, Zhang Liu left in a hurry.
His target was the pit that had burned him so much that he couldn't stand steadily.
That's where the lamb legs are prepared to be roasted, so we have to keep an eye on the situation.
After a while, Zhang Liu had arrived at the place where the rocks were exposed. About ten meters ahead was the pit.
From a distance, green smoke was rising from the pit mouth, so the intense smoldering state should have disappeared.
He stopped at least ten meters away from the pit entrance and touched the ground with the back of his fingers just in case.
The cold touch proved that I was worrying too much.
With a slight sigh of relief, Zhang Liu walked towards the pit entrance.
Standing far away really doesn't feel anything.
After getting closer, he still felt a heat wave sweeping towards him.
Squinting his eyes, Zhang Liu leaned his head and looked into the pit.
The long stick he had left behind for ventilation was completely burned.
It turned into a few thick pieces of charcoal remaining at the bottom of the pit, with red light flashing on them.
I kicked the rock next to the pit hard to make sure it was not loose.
Zhang Liu squatted at the edge of the pit and stretched out his hand, then hovered over the edge of the rock and used the back of his hand to feel the temperature.
A little hot, but not too hot to touch.
He plucked up the courage to touch it, and after confirming that he could touch it directly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If you can grab it, there will be no danger of slipping and having nowhere to grab.
We are now in the wilderness, so think twice before doing anything.
Running to the side and finding a longer wooden stick, Zhang Liu began to stir the ashes at the bottom of the pit.
There was no adhesion between the wooden stick and the ashes, and the inside had obviously been baked very dry.
This made him very happy, the burning pit plan was successful!
However, along with the stirring, some dry grass or leaves that had not been completely burned at the bottom layer were ignited by the sparking ashes, starting to bake the rock wall for the second time.
After mixing every spot in the pit with wood ash, Zhang Liu threw away the stick and breathed a sigh of relief.
Preliminary preparations are complete!
The next task is to arrange dinner.
In his opinion, four huge roasted lamb legs were waving at him!
Zhang Liu had only seen the method of making naan pit barbecue on TV.
But he remembered every detail clearly.
The sizzling roasted lamb leg was too attractive to the poor boy.
The first step is to have enough firewood!
This problem is easy to solve. Just make a few more trips back and forth.
After a few days of accumulation, a large pile of firewood had been stored on a flat ground near the cave.
They were all picked up by the three of them from nearby or distant woods.
There are wooden stakes of varying thicknesses and lengths. The thickest and longest one is more than three meters long, with a radius as thick as Zhang Liu's waist.
It was originally a very long tree, but it was hollowed out by insects and broke into pieces. Later, Zhang Liu and Anya carried it back.
It really took a lot of effort.
Looking at so much firewood in front of him, Zhang Liu nodded with satisfaction.
Not to mention four lamb legs, I guess ten lamb legs could be roasted.
Outside the cave, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya had already left, and only the cutting rack was still smoking the mutton.
Zhang Liu did not hesitate or be lazy, and began to carry the wood like a little hamster.
One trip, two trips, three trips...
Zhang Liu himself couldn't remember how many times he had walked back and forth between the cave and the deep pit.
But in the end he took away a full one-fifth of the wood reserves accumulated by the three men.
Zhang Liu stood all the wood upright to make them hollow, filled the middle with hay, and then put some fire on it. He started a bonfire directly on the open space.
