After being stranded on a deserted island, they all plotted against me

Nine people, one man and eight women, sat in front of the fire and started talking.

To be precise, it is to confirm what Zhang Liu needs to bring before departure.

"For now, the food resources we have here are meat floss, taro powder, and five-bamboo honey. As for combat equipment, it is decided to be a fire hammer and a machete..."

As Xiang Wanying spoke, she took down everything from the bamboo table in the house.

Then she put them neatly in the book basket.

Things like meat floss, taro powder, honey, candles, etc. can be stuffed into the first layer of space in the book basket.

After folding, the two curtains can be placed on the second layer.

As for the third layer that was originally intended to hold the sheepskin bag, it was now occupied by a small alloy pot, leaving a lot of space empty.

After placing everything in place, Zhang Liu put it on his back to try out how convenient it was to carry.

He felt that the weight was probably around 50 to 60 kilograms, which was just the right amount for him to carry on his back.

When Zhang Liu was spinning in circles, all the girls remained silent.

Because they knew one thing very clearly, that is, tonight might be the last night they and Zhang Liu spent here together.

Starting tomorrow, the other party might leave...

"I have an idea." Qin Ruoyan thought for a while, then she stood by and looked at the dozen bamboo tubes in the first layer of space and said, "Can you also fry the rabbit legs into meat floss, and then I will process the meat floss and taro powder into meatballs, so that Zhang Liu can carry more things."

Hearing Qin Ruoyan's words, Zhang Liu shook his head to express his refusal.

Then he opened his mouth and gave his reason: "I'm afraid it will rot directly..."

Zhang Liu had previously planned to mix taro powder with honey to make biscuits, but he eventually gave up.

Because of storage issues.

If the dry taro powder is mixed with honey, combined with the necessarily stuffy and super hot air in the rainforest, Zhang Liu is really not sure how long they can be preserved.

The reason why he wanted to turn the dried meat and taro into meat floss and taro powder.

On the one hand, it is convenient to carry, and on the other hand, it has a longer shelf life.

"According to what I know, Chinese medicine honey pills can usually be stored for up to ten days."

Qin Ruoyan took out the leftover beeswax from a large bag of supplies for herself and Gu Qingrou, and then continued:

"If it is made into wax balls, the time can definitely be extended."

At the same time, she explained why she thought so.

"Zhang Liu, no one of us knows what you will encounter in the jungle!"

"So if something unexpected happens, I feel that compared to the dry powder that needs to be swallowed with water, the wax honey pills mixed with honey in advance are more suitable for emergency use."

After finishing this long paragraph, Qin Ruoyan's breathing became a little rapid.

"Oh! That makes sense! Then let's make them all into that... big honey pill?" After hearing such a detailed explanation, although he didn't know what the big honey pill was, Zhang Liu nodded to show his understanding and approval.

Then Su Yan, who was beside him, said, "Why don't we keep a can of taro powder and a can of pork floss for emergency use, and make the rest into the honey meatballs that Sister Ruoyan mentioned?"

After making the proposal, she turned her eyes to Zhang Liu who was in the middle of the crowd.

Su Yan understood that it was the other party who was going out this time.

Therefore, all decisions should be made by him.

"Okay!" With Zhang Liu nodding again, the production of the big honey pills was also put on track.

The large alloy pot was placed on the earthen stove, and the meat from 136 rabbit legs was processed by eight girls, 17 each.

Zhang Liu is responsible for frying the meat floss.

By the time it was completely dark, the amount of meat floss had increased to ten bamboo tubes, more than twice the amount of taro powder.

As for the rabbit legs, there were still eighteen left.

This is what Zhang Liu asked for.

Following Su Yan's suggestion, one can of taro powder and one can of meat floss were left, and the rest were taken by Qin Ruoyan to the small clay pot. She was going to start making the big honey pills by herself.

As for Zhang Liu, he was currently working hard on making the "noodles" he would eat tomorrow morning. The return of Qin Ruoyan and the other three made Zhang Liu, who was about to go out, feel completely relieved.

At present, the number of taro paste that has not been dried has returned to eight bamboo tubes.

As for him, he planned to take out all the taro paste from the eight bamboo tubes, add two bird eggs into them, and then make a wilderness version of noodles.

Before leaving tomorrow morning, Zhang Liu plans to have a bowl of hot "noodles" with all the girls before leaving.

Although it is said that "dumplings on the bus and noodles when getting off the bus"

But he had already eaten dumplings with other girls before, so he wanted to try something new with noodles.

However, after this operation, the taro flour that originally had more than four bamboo tubes now only has four bamboo tubes.

Zhang Liu walked over to Qin Ruoyan and took back the leftover taro powder.

He plans to add them to this noodle making.

With the alloy pot, the most direct change is that the speed of boiling water is more than twice as fast. The eight bamboo tubes placed in it for stewing have already semi-solidified taro paste in just a short while.

The next step is to fish out the eight bamboo tubes and set them aside to cool down naturally.

During this time, Zhang Liu was not idle. He started preparing dinner.

Pour cold water with salt into a small alloy pot, then peel the taro, cut it into large pieces and soak it in it...

Looking at this familiar scene, Su Yan and Anya, who were watching nearby, immediately showed excitement on their faces. They already knew what food Zhang Liu was going to prepare!

"Let's eat fried taro noodles tonight and noodles tomorrow morning." After preparing dinner, Zhang Liu told the girls who were watching him about his plan.

Hearing his words, Xiang Lingying, Lan Yueting, Xiang Wanying and Qin Ruoshuang, who were originally surrounding Qin Ruoyan and watching her, immediately looked over with surprised eyes.

Qin Ruoyan, who was mixing meat floss and taro powder in a small clay pot, also looked up with an expression of disbelief.

She had never eaten fried taro dumplings before and even wondered if she had heard it wrong.

After all, whether it is noodles or fried taro strips, these two things should not appear on a deserted island...

"We'll fry the noodles first, and then make fried taro strips." Zhang Liu used a knife to split the already cooled bamboo tube of taro paste, and said with a smile: "We've finally gathered together today, so the food must not be bad!"

Spread the banana leaves flat on the ground, then place eight balls of still slightly warm taro paste on top and knead them.

Then he added all the remaining taro powder and two bird eggs. This step was to make the originally damp taro paste dry and "tender".

When Zhang Liu took out eight balls of taro paste with bamboo membranes from the bamboo tube, Qin Ruoyan, who had originally frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking seriously, suddenly showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

However, no one was aware of her change in expression.

......................................................

This is the dividing line. There are already more than 2,000 words in the previous part, so the following words are definitely not just to make up the word count!

PS, words from the author.

Today the number of updates will be sparse.

Because the author is staying up late to write, there are about 20,000 words updated.

This is to make up for the situation in the past few days where only 8,000 words were updated.

Because the update interval is about one chapter per hour.

The useless author kowtows and apologizes to everyone here. It’s all because I’m too useless.

sorry!

Chapter 468: One Man and Eight Women's Work Before Bed

As Zhang Liu continued to make taro paste, the air was filled with the scent of honey coming from the small clay pot in front of Qin Ruoyan.

At this moment, there is also a "noodle aroma" of fried dried taro powder

Sitting obediently beside Zhang Liu, the seven girls stared at his every step without blinking.

Their eyes were full of anticipation.

Qin Ruoyan, who was constantly making honey balls with her hands, was also looking towards Zhang Liu at this moment.

Her eyes were also full of anticipation.

After completely mixing the taro paste, bird eggs and taro powder, add salt to increase toughness, and then continue to press hard.

Zhang Liu didn't stop until he felt the toughness was almost right.

Then he divided the taro paste into thirty-six small pieces and began to rub them into smaller pieces with his hands.

It is basically impossible to boil these noodles, which are made almost entirely of taro, directly in water. They will either be overcooked or taste like mud.

Zhang Liu got this piece of knowledge from the TV series “The Cooking Master Boy” he watched when he was a child. In one episode about noodles, the character A Fei who made noodles with potatoes was pointed out this problem by the narrator.

However, the young beast Ah Fei seemed to have used ice to solve the problem.

But he was in the tropics now, and unless he encountered a thunderstorm like last time, it would be rare to see ice once a year...

The best way Zhang Liu could think of to eat it was to knead it into small pieces and fry it into "instant noodles", and then soak it in hot water tomorrow.

"Zhang Liu, let me help you cut the taro strips!"

"Then I'll knead the noodles!"

"I'll make the seasoning!"

"I open fruit meat!"

When he started to get busy, other girls also came to help.

When Qin Ruoyan made twenty-seven large honey pills made of a mixture of honey, meat floss and taro powder, she washed her hands and sat down next to Zhang Liu.

A large pile of long, thin hand-kneaded taro noodles and cut and dried taro strips were placed on the banana leaves.

As for the "mayonnaise" made with tamarind and egg yolk fruit, it has filled ten small clay bowls.

At this moment, Zhang Liu was pouring all the lard into a large alloy pot and heating it.

After using it for a period of time, there were originally two bamboo tubes of lard, but now only less than one bamboo tube is left.

However, it is still fine to use it to fry noodles and taro strips.

"Shoot..."

Zhang Liu rolled four noodles into a small ball in his hand and carefully put them into the oil pan to fry.

Thirty-six noodles, divided among nine people, means four noodles for each person.

After frying for five or six seconds, when he felt that the noodles were almost ready, he scooped out the taro noodles with chopsticks and placed them in a bamboo bowl that had been prepared long ago.

Continue to repeat the previous operation.

In just a short while, the Jiufen noodles were neatly arranged.

The air in the bamboo house began to be filled with the enticing aroma of carbohydrates fried in fat, even covering up the smell of fireworks produced by the burning fire.

Almost every girl had an expression of anticipation for these noodles.

Zhang Liu didn't care about all this. He was waiting for the oil pan to continue heating up, and at the same time he put taro pieces into the earthen stove to bake.

After all, the capacity of a small alloy pot is limited.

And if you want to soak it again, it will take too much time...

Therefore, the taro strips only have the weight of twelve small taros, which is enough for nine people to share, but it is definitely not enough to fill one's stomach.

So in addition to fried taro strips, Zhang Liu felt that he also needed to prepare some extra staple food.

The roasted taro with the remaining lard in the pot was the perfect plan in his mind.

What’s more, we now have salt, a super killer for enhancing flavor!

After several frying experiences, Zhang Liu has mastered the technical points of frying taro strips to almost perfection.

Five or six in a group, five or six in a group...

The taro strips are put in continuously, then fried thoroughly and then taken out of the pot.

Under the expectant eyes of all the girls, he raised a pinch of salt high into the air and then slowly sprinkled it on the fried taro strips that had been piled up into a small hill.

He took the alloy pot off the fire, took out the last three roasted taro from the earthen stove, cut them and placed them on the banana leaves. Zhang Liu looked at Anya and the others who were already secretly swallowing their saliva and said, "Why don't we start eating?"
