Of course, it could also be that I was too hungry and was probably hallucinating...
........................
Fire is a powerful tool born out of the progress of civilization, which is clearly demonstrated in history.
For example, Liu Bei teamed up with Sun Shiwan to burn Cao's million-strong army into pig heads.
Nowadays, Zhang Liu also has a deep understanding of this wonderful use.
Of course it is not for military use, but for civilian use.
After moving the fire inside the cave, he began to prepare dinner.
Anya and Qin Ruoshuang stood beside him and watched the process.
The windbreak stone wall that Qin Ruoshuang had laid earlier now served the dual purpose of blocking wind and fire.
Even though the wind from outside blew into the cave, the few people were not afraid that the foam board would be hit by the flames.
But at the moment, Zhang Liu is still doing preparatory work such as boiling water.
Place three pebbles in the fire and burn them until they are almost red and transparent, then pour a mineral water bottle of fresh water into the giant clam shell.
Then carefully hold the pebbles in the fire with a wooden stick and put them into the giant clam shell.
"Sizzle..." The pebbles were cooled instantly, releasing heat. The water inside the entire giant clam shell was rolling, and bubbles continued to emerge from around the pebbles.
He did not stop this behavior, but instead put the other two pebbles in the fire into the giant clam shell.
Suddenly, the water inside the giant clam shell began to churn.
"Zhang Liu, what are you doing?" Anya was standing next to Zhang Liu, and she couldn't help but ask.
In her opinion, isn't this just polluting the clean fresh water?
"He should be boiling water, right?" Unlike Anya, a Japanese who is used to drinking cold water, Qin Ruoshuang looked at Zhang Liu's actions and made her own guess: "Putting hot stones in water will cause the water to absorb the heat from the stones and then boil!"
"Yes, I'm boiling water." Zhang Liu nodded, indicating that he agreed with Qin Ruoshuang's statement.
Seeing Anya's still confused expression, he continued to explain:
"Before, there was no fire, so we couldn't drink boiled water."
"But now that we have this condition, I think it's better for us to drink boiled water in the future."
"After all, the water in the puddle tastes slightly bitter. Although I don't know if boiling it will help, it's safer than not boiling it. Besides, the ash on the pebbles also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects."
"This... okay!" After taking a look at the grayish-white turbid liquid inside the giant clam shell, Anya felt a little disgusted.
But Zhang Liu's series of explanations were indeed correct.
Just as she was nodding reluctantly, Zhang Liu continued to say with a smile: "Don't worry, under normal circumstances, the water will become clear after a while. I'm just trying to see if this method of boiling water with stones works."
After saying that, he moved the giant clam shell that was still rolling away, and then started the highlight of the night.
That is the fish head boiled in giant clam shell, the fish tail grilled on stone slab, and the fish liver and fish body skewers!
However, everything has its own sequence, especially since Zhang Liu currently does not have enough firewood to build two fires for barbecuing and boiling at the same time.
But the simplicity of cooking fish head is clearly the best among all the recipes.
So he decisively placed the largest giant clam shell on the fire, and then poured clean water from another mineral water bottle into it.
"I'll go get some water!"
Just when Zhang Liu was feeling helpless because there was not enough water, Qin Ruoshuang took the initiative to stand up, picked up two mineral water bottles, and climbed down from the side of the cave.
"I'll go get some firewood down there!"
Anya, who also wanted to find something to do, immediately climbed out of the cave and went to the firewood pile below to select firewood of appropriate thickness.
After sitting there for a while, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Liu's lips. Then he began to cut the fish liver and the largest piece of fish meat on a stone slab.
As for the fish head and fish bladder, Zhang Liu had already put them in the giant clam shell and cooked them.
His plan was to grill it while boiling it.
But he looked at the fish tail wrapped in seaweed on the ground, and then at the setting sun.
Zhang Liu suddenly felt a feeling of warmth and satisfaction welling up in his heart.
At the bottom of the cave, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya, who were fetching water and collecting firewood, looked at each other and smiled.
None of them knew that the availability of protein and meat foods had allowed their depressed mood to return to a truly optimistic and relaxed state.
Among them, Zhang Liu, who had been pretending to be optimistic, felt it most clearly.
Chapter 30 You can take off your clothes while wearing your underwear.
The sun gradually sank below the sea level, and the dark sky swallowed up the last bit of warm light. Then only the moon and a dozen of the kindest stars were left hanging in the sky, emitting cold light.
After a while, some stars will appear in the sky.
But right now, for Zhang Liu, Qin Ruoshuang, Anya and the others, the beautiful night sky was nothing.
The most important thing is to enjoy the dinner in front of you!
Coconut milk, coconut meat with jaboticaba, fish head with meat and kelp stewed with kelp, grilled fish liver, and grilled fish skewers.
As for the originally ordered slate-grilled fish tail, after serious discussion, the three of them unanimously decided to have it as breakfast the next day.
On the third night on the deserted island, they finally had hot food that could fill their stomachs.
Instead of filling your stomach with cold foods such as coconut milk or coconut meat.
"Finally... can we eat it?" Sitting between Zhang Liu and Qin Ruoshuang, Anya had been eyeing the fish skewers that were placed next to the fire and were oozing juice.
Unlike Zhang Liu who only dared to use his brain to imagine eating raw fish heads, she was born in Japan and had no aversion to eating raw fish.
If Zhang Liu hadn't kept persuading her, Anya would have already spoken up.
"It should be... almost there, right?" Feeling that Anya was about to eat him like fish at any time, Zhang Liu swallowed his saliva and said hesitantly.
He didn't know how to judge whether the fish skewers were cooked through, so he could only choose to roast them a little longer.
After all, it is quite difficult to cut with this piece of metal, and most of the time the fish back meat is crushed instead of being cut into thin pieces.
So even though it is called fish skewers, overall it is still large chunks of fish grilled over fire.
"Actually, it shouldn't be a big problem. I remember that many sea fish can be eaten raw." Qin Ruoshuang pursed her lips slightly, also showing anticipation for the grilled skewers.
Under the warm glow of the fire, she could now barely resist the uncomfortable feeling in her lower abdomen caused by the darkness.
"I'll start first!" Anya turned her head left and right to look at Zhang Liu and Qin Ruoshuang's hesitation. She simply reached out and grabbed a skewer of grilled fish liver, then bit off the front end of the meat.
Her eyes widened immediately as Anya was scalded by the fish liver which was still sizzling with oil.
But she was also reluctant to spit it out. She just opened her mouth and made a "hachi, hachi" sound like a puppy panting.
After a while, Anya chewed the fish liver in her mouth repeatedly and swallowed it.
"It's definitely edible!" This was her most intuitive evaluation before she bit off the second piece of fish liver.
Zhang Liu and Qin Ruoshuang looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Anya's appearance just now was really too cute.
Then everyone picked up a string of fish livers and put them in their mouths and started chewing.
Zhang Liu had never eaten any raw marine fish liver.
After taking a bite of it, he had only one thought: it smelled fishy.
It tastes like eating a ball of fishy lard.
It’s not as bad as river fish offal, but it’s definitely not delicious either. However, it’s oily and tastes smooth.
Qin Ruoshuang had tasted raw fish livers in Japanese cuisine, and her only comment on this skewer of grilled fish livers was that it was delicious. Her weak body needed this kind of warm protein food so much.
After eating the fish liver, the next dish is fish skewers.
There was a lot of meat on the back of the fish, so Zhang Liu made nine skewers, three for each person.
Although there was no salt, the taste was a little bland.
But at this time, hunger has already become the best seasoning.
As for the kelp fish soup, it has a little salty taste in itself.
Although the soup and fish meat both have a fishy smell, as long as you hold your breath before swallowing them, you can enjoy their delicious taste.
As for the fishy smell left in your mouth, you can cover it up by eating fruits or drinking coconut water.
However, the heat conduction ability of the giant clam shell was really poor, and Zhang Liu was helpless. After stewing it for an entire evening, the fish head was still not fully cooked.
In the end, he chose to use pebbles to boil water and throw the boiling stones into the fish soup.
After being heated with fire at the bottom and stones inside, and the fish head being completely mashed, the kelp and fish head soup was barely completed before the meal.
As for the appearance, it can only be described as horrible.
After eating and drinking, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya were busy peeling the jaboticaba, removing the core and putting it in small giant clam shells as after-meal fruit.
Zhang Liu was cleaning up the kitchen waste of the three people neatly, throwing fish bones, fish skewers and wooden sticks into the fire and burning them all.
As for the giant giant clam shell that served as a stewing pot, it was forced to retire because the bottom was burned to carbonization.
"Eat some fruit." Zhang Liu had finished cleaning up and was staring at the fire in a daze when Qin Ruoshuang had already placed the fruit next to him.
After turning his head and looking at him for a while, Zhang Liu began to think about how to deal with the two pink spots on the other person's chest.
Qin Ruoshuang felt the focus of Zhang Liu's gaze, and she subconsciously put out her hand to cover her chest.
But after hesitating for half a second, he put his hand down and simply sat down next to the other person.
The tongues of flame above the fire drew chaotic paths in the air, just like Qin Ruoshuang's mood at the moment.
Very messy.
"Why are you crying?" Zhang Liu asked in confusion, bringing her back to her senses and calling Anya, who was struggling to pick the coconut meat.
"I cried?" Qin Ruoshuang didn't realize that tears had been flowing down her cheeks. She reached out and touched her face, and it was indeed wet.
With her legs bent, she hugged her knees with her hands, allowing her breasts to be squeezed and deformed on her thighs.
Qin Ruoshuang turned her head to look at Anya, then looked at Zhang Liu, and finally whispered: "Are we hopeless of being rescued?"
Hearing this, Anya was stunned for a moment, then continued to lower her head to pick the coconut meat.
But she didn't pick up a piece and put it in her mouth, even though the thick, white coconut meat accumulated inside the coconut shell and was pressed by the metal sheet until water came out.
Just keep picking out the coconuts that are already clean inside.
"Theoretically, there is." Zhang Liu glanced at the two girls beside him cautiously, and then said seriously: "It doesn't mean that no one will come within 72 hours, but there is no rescue."
The best search and rescue time for an accident is the golden 72 hours, this is what he said to comfort the two girls.
Zhang Liu also knew that no rescue had arrived during the day.
That's why he took great pains to cook most of the fish tonight, in order to boost the overall morale of the team.
But right now...
Looking at the two girls next to me, one is already autistic and the other is close to being autistic.
"Ah..." Zhang Liu sighed deeply, and then he said: "I think it is necessary for the three of us to have a serious meeting!"
"What meeting?" Qin Ruoshuang remained silent after hearing Zhang Liu's words, while Anya reluctantly gave a response and asked.
"A meeting about how we will continue to live on this island." Zhang Liu looked at Qin Ruoshuang's chest again.
At this moment, under the baking of the bonfire, the two pink spots were no longer so clear.
However, he was able to identify the approximate location through memory.
If we don’t deal with it, there will be big problems!
Such a thought flashed through the mind of Zhang Liu, who was still in adolescence.
After a few seconds of silence, he turned to Anya and asked, "Student Anya, are you wearing underwear?"
Hearing this, he first looked up in shock, then covered his chest with his hands, and his eyes instantly became extremely cautious.
Anya kicked her legs wildly and retreated about two meters until she stopped against the stone wall.
Then she stared at Zhang Liu and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Eh?" Zhang Liu was stunned by Anya's amazing words. After hesitating for a few seconds, he explained, "That's not what I meant. I thought that if you were wearing underwear, you could take off your clothes..."
