I don’t know if it’s his Atlantean bloodline that makes Arthur extra strong, or if he’s just naturally strong. In short, surviving in the primeval forest is not a problem for him at all. Cutting and carrying wood is just the beginning.
What Arthur has to do is very simple, that is, lay the chopped wood horizontally on the ground, then place the entire refrigerator horizontally on the cylindrical wood as a chassis, and then put other supplies on top.
When pushing the refrigerator, the wood becomes wheels, which saves effort and makes it move faster.
Although, for Hal and Schiller, it might be much faster to carry it directly, but since they have agreed not to cheat, it would be better to use a method that ordinary people can use.
This is a square refrigerator with double doors. It should be customized to adapt to the special space in the aircraft cabin. After the power is turned off, it no longer has the cooling function, but it can at least be used as a storage box, and the insulation layer of the refrigerator can also be used.
Let the food melt slowly until you return to the cave where the temperature is cooler.
Since the rolling logs themselves have weight, some herbs will be flattened directly and will not block the way forward. When the refrigerator rolls to the frontmost log, the wood behind it must be moved to the front.
Go, at this time, basically three people take turns.
Hal and Schiller's special abilities meant that they hardly felt tired, but surprisingly, Arthur could also keep up without falling behind at all.
There was a short distance from here to the cave they stayed in before, but Arthur did not look tired until the end, and when he was carrying the refrigerator into the cave, he still had time to chat. He said: "Say
Really, this reminds me of when I went to sea with the fleet."
"You may not know how tiring offshore fishing is. When I was 17 years old, I went out to sea to catch tuna with my uncle and didn't sleep for four whole days..."
Schiller lifted the front half of the refrigerator, turned around and asked, "Are you responsible for keeping an eye on the fish finder?"
"No, of course not. How could I do that kind of work? I'm just an ordinary sailor, responsible for catching fish." Arthur shook his head and said, "At that time, we didn't encounter tuna, but it didn't matter. Originally, tuna was
Rare fish, bluefin and yellowfin tuna are hard to come across.”
"But at that time, we happened to encounter a group of bonito, which is also very popular, and because they were in groups, the catch was very large. In those days, we just lowered the net, collected the net, and lowered the net.
Close the net, eat some burgers when you are hungry, drink some energy drinks when you are tired, or go smoke a cigarette..."
"However, hard work pays off. There was a shortage of dried bonito at that time, and the catch sold for a lot of money. This also made my uncle's business better. When he got older, he stopped doing it.
The offshore fishing business was gone, and instead he started to be a dealer of various types of fishing boats.”
"Oh." Schiller suddenly remembered and said, "That's the uncle who lent you the fishing boat? He does look like a captain."
"He is the best captain." Arthur said quite proudly, but soon, he sighed with regret and said: "Actually, my father was also a legendary captain when he was young, and even the whole East Coast reverberated.
With the name of Captain Curry..."...
"At that time, he brought back a blue marlin that broke the East Coast fishing record. It's hard for me to describe to you how big this fish was, but everyone was shocked. He was a popular good-luck captain at the time.
"
"But for some reason, he stopped going to sea and stayed in Blüdhaven and became a lighthouse keeper. Many crew members felt sorry for him. My uncle also tried to persuade him, but no matter what, he
I don’t want to go to sea anymore. ()
Arthur looked ahead, and could still see the blue water in the gaps between the dense rainforest. He said: "There is a legend from an old sailor who followed him. He encountered a siren on the sea and experienced a series of dangerous adventures.
, and finally returned to the shore.”
"They said that he offended the sea monster and was cursed by it. From then on, he could never touch the sea water again. I don't know if this is true, but I know that he often looked at the sea with a kind of longing in his eyes...
…”
Several people put the refrigerator on the ground and rested there for a while. During the rest, Hal asked curiously: "I don't mean to offend, but your mother..."
"My father said that she died in a shipwreck, but it must have been when I was very young. I don't remember her at all." Arthur shook his head, as if unwilling to talk more, and Schiller, who knew the truth, did not
I have no intention of reminding him, this is his private matter after all.
Of course, although I don’t know what the attitude of Atlantis in this universe towards humans is, one thing must be admitted. As long as Gotham is still a coastal city, Atlantis will not be able to make big waves.
Although ordinary industrial pollution can hardly threaten Atlantis in the deep sea, Gotham's industrial pollution certainly can. To say the least, if a fish unfortunately bites the clown first, then returns to the ocean.
, then it won’t be long before Atlantis becomes a gift from nature.
When the three of them moved the refrigerator and other supplies back to the cave, Oliver's eyes widened in surprise and he said, "...Where are the passengers?"
Arthur put the refrigerator on the ground and said: "It was not the passenger plane that crashed, but the vehicle I used to come to California. The pilot Hal wanted to drive this plane to find me, but unfortunately it crashed."
"Don't worry about these, let's take a look at the gifts of nature." Schiller walked to the refrigerator and opened the door. He found that most of the items in the frozen layer had melted, but the items in the fresh layer were preserved.
It's pretty good.
Most of the food in the frozen layer is meat and seafood. In this temperature environment, this kind of food cannot be stored for too long. Schiller knew this, so he simply turned out all the meat that had started to melt.
Be prepared to deal with it all at once.
Many people know that if you want to extend the storage time of meat, you must use a kind of seasoning, that is, salt. However, the salt obtained in the airplane food storage room is only a small jar, which is packed in a very common Western food seasoning bottle.
It is fine to sprinkle a little seasoning when grilling meat, but if you want to use salt to treat meat, this amount is definitely not enough.
Fortunately, this island has both seawater and fresh water, which means that it meets the most basic salt-making conditions. As long as they use the method of making salt from seawater, they can get salt to process meat.…
At present, these meats can be stored for a short period of time in caves with relatively low temperatures. During this period, enough salt should be spent to process them.
Schiller had the theory of seawater salting in his mind, but he had never put it into practice. When he proposed this, several people looked at each other. After all, in modern society, salt has become a ubiquitous seasoning.
It turns out that even Arthur and Oliver, who live in a seaside city, have never personally made salt from seawater.
Schiller planned to make a meal with these relatively fresh foods, and then assign tasks to each of them to start a real desert island survival journey.
Among the four people, only Schiller and Hal can cook. The food made by Arthur and Oliver can only be said to be edible, but not tasteful at all. Therefore, Schiller and Hal each bear part of the cooking responsibility.
The responsibility of the dish.
The conditions in the cave are very limited. There is definitely no stove, only a stone pot and the stone slab that was made before, and there is not even a grill or a shelf to support the stone pot.
Arthur sawed the wood he had brought back earlier with a saw, and after cutting it into wooden sticks, he built a simple shelf and supported it above the flame, so that the stone pot could be hung on the shelf for cooking.
After that, Arthur began to try to burn charcoal, but probably because of the special properties of palm wood, it was difficult for the charcoal to keep burning and hot, so he could only build a similar frame to support the stone slabs.
Although the stream water outside can also be used, there will be some impurities because it has not been left to stand still. Several people were a little hungry and did not want to wait for the stream water to stand. Hal climbed up the coconut tree and picked a few coconuts.
Use it as a water source for cooking.
This kind of coconut tree is not specially used for food, so the leaves are very small and the coconut milk has no taste, but it is enough for cooking.
Schiller first used the metal saw to make a slit in the coconut, then poured the coconut milk into the pot, dug out some dried mushrooms from the vegetables in the refrigerator, and heated the coconut milk to about 50 or 60 degrees Celsius.
When the temperature rises, throw the mushrooms in and find a stone slab to cover the pot.
After boiling for about a minute, when the water starts to boil, take the pot away, pour out the water, throw in the chicken pieces cut with stones, crack a few coconuts, pour the coconut milk in and blanch the water.
After draining the water, add coconut milk to cover the ingredients and start simmering.
The other meat was left to Hal, but he did not fry the meat directly on the stone slab from the beginning. Instead, he took out the oysters and shrimp that had melted from the refrigerator.
Peel the meat out of the oysters and peel the shrimp meat. After frying the juice, chop the two ingredients, add the peeled tomatoes, chop them together and fry them until cooked through.
Then, take out the previous shrimp heads and stir-fry the shrimp oil on a high-temperature stone plate. Mix the shrimp oil with the previously made sauce to turn into an orange-red seafood sauce.
"In Beach City, this is the seafood sauce used in every restaurant, but generally we use smaller clams and shrimps that cannot be sold. Although they are not as big as these ingredients, they taste better.
Delicious.”
Arthur and Oliver have almost gone crazy with the aroma of the food these two people made. Not to mention that the mushroom stewed chicken is a golden combination. The meaty smell and aroma can permeate the entire cave through the stone lid.
.…
The seafood sauce made by Hal is more fragrant, because the stone slab itself is not blocked, and the smell of the food being cooked will make anyone who is extremely hungry move their index fingers.
"I can't wait, hurry up, I want to eat now, my stomach is already protesting from hunger..." Arthur squatted on the edge of the stone slab, waiting for the food to come out of the pot and devouring it as soon as possible.
Although Oliver didn't speak, it was only because of his noble son's final reserve. He didn't want to act like a person who had never seen the world, but he had been hungry for so many days and obviously wanted to eat as soon as possible.
of.
However, Schiller and Hal had never tried cooking in such an environment. The poor conditions instead aroused their enthusiasm for creation.
Schiller took out a few slices of bread and placed them on the lid of the stone pot. Because the open fire lit by branches was very strong, the flames engulfed the entire stone pot, causing the stone slab above to be very hot. Schiller put the bread slices
After it's toasted a little bit, start breaking the bread slices into pieces.
After the bread slices are very crumbled, add a small amount of coconut milk and mix it to form a lake shape, then spread it into a pancake shape and fry it into pancakes. Fry the beef until it is about half cooked, chop the onions and peppers, and spread it on
After the beef is served, roll it into the pancake together with the cheese.
Because the pancakes are smaller, they look more like dumplings than tacos. However, because the dough is made of bread, it cannot be pinched, so it looks more like a folded miniature pizza.
Seeing this scene, Hal knew that he had to show his skills. He brought a piece of pork tenderloin and a piece of pork belly. He first fried the pork tenderloin into oil, then cut the pork tenderloin into minced meat and lightly used oil to make it.
Fry and mix with the previous seafood sauce.
Take out a larger coconut, crack it open, cut off the upper part, keep the coconut juice inside, then put the dried spaghetti noodles in it and heat it on the fire under the stone slab.
The pasta became soft very quickly. Before the coconut shells were burned, the noodles were almost cooked. Stir-fry the cooked pasta with the seafood meat sauce, then take the four coconut shells that were used before, and put them in
After the fire is slightly heated, put a small piece of butter on the bottom, divide the pasta into four parts, sprinkle with grated cheese, and the seafood bolognese cheese coconut pasta is ready.
Seeing this, Schiller knew that he had to show his true skills. When he started to roll up his sleeves, Arthur, who was already dizzy with hunger, rushed to stop him and said: "Professor, it's okay, this is not Michelin."
At the competition site, let’s start eating..."
Schiller glanced at the proud Hal and said: "No, you have to respect my food. Get out of the way. I remember there is a whole duck in the refrigerator. It should have melted by now. I'll go
Make a clay oven and show you what real roast duck is..."
Oliver was lying on the ground and almost couldn't breathe. Arthur was also lying on the ground. In addition to being helpless, he was really hungry and had no strength.
Half an hour later, Bruce, who followed the smoke and found the cave, stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the two people who had almost fainted from hunger and the table of delicious food with doubts.
