Chapter 103 Field Training·The Temptation of Food
It takes two hours to prepare and twenty minutes to cook.
No matter how fat the fish on the outskirts of the nature reserve are, the Class 8 students who have worked hard for two days can only describe themselves as hungry today. With such a big meal in front of them, not to mention dozens of fish, I am afraid that they will have to eat it again.
They can eat twice as much, but they are afraid that they will be tired of the food and won't want to touch freshwater fish for several months.
After the meal, everyone divided their work to clean up the kitchen utensils and kitchen waste.
The boys were responsible for cleaning up the leftover fish bones and burying them in the garbage pit. The girls' group took out cleaning glue and started cleaning up everyone's dishes and soup pots.
As always, Xiangchuan stood aside and fished. If she hadn't been taught since she was a child that she shouldn't sit for too long just after eating, she would still want to continue sitting at the door of the tent. Unlike steamed fish that requires soy sauce or sauce,
Grilled fish and fish soup pay attention to the original flavor. As long as you do a simple removal of fishy smell and add some salt and pepper, it can become a delicacy with full original flavor. You will not feel full when eating steamed fish.
She found it all on the grilled fish and fish soup, so she was very full now. However, she was very tired after eating too much, so Kagawa looked quite lethargic now.
When everyone passing by the tent saw her like this, they thought that she was very tired from making steamed fish and hosting everyone's lunch today, and they were too embarrassed to condemn her current fishing.
"Thank you for your hard work, chef." Ouyang Yating came over and threw a round thing to her.
Xiangchuan subconsciously caught it and took a closer look. It turned out to be an apple, but it was not the red one at home, but more like the small green and red apples sold by vegetable vendors in the 21st century. She stared at the apple.
Looking at Ouyang Yating in confusion, she seemed to be asking: Where did you find this thing?
"There was an apple tree on the road. Nancy shook the trunk and a few fell off, so she picked them back up." Aino walked over and explained, "What, can this be eaten?"
"Is this something you haven't tasted before?" Xiangchuan looked at the two of them helplessly, put the filter on the bucket next to him, and washed the apples with the filtered river water. Pesticides are not supposed to be used in the nature reserve.
Yes, even if it is used, modern pesticides will not harm the human body, but it has been hung on the tree for so long, exposed to wind and rain, and may have been visited by some birds, and there is still a lot of dust. I washed it three times.
After Xiangchuan took a bite, it turned out to be okay. The sweetness was naturally not as good as the hard-covered fruits at home, but the sweet and sour taste was just right for someone like her who had just eaten.
Xiangchuan gave the two of them a thumbs up, and Aino understood it and walked towards the river, shouting loudly as he walked: "The president said - it can be eaten -"
Hearing this, the corner of Xiangchuan's mouth twitched: Are you using her to test the poison?
"Nancy is washing apples by the river. Don't look like this. I'll share some with you later." Ouyang Yating looked at her funny, mainly because her angry expression while chewing apples was a bit too interesting.
, "The main reason is that we don't know whether apples in the wild can be eaten."
"Aren't you still using me to test the poison!"
Xiangchuan was so excited that he cracked the apple in his hand, frightening the squad leader who happened to come over. He looked at Xiangchuan with some anxiety and asked Ouyang Yating in a low voice: "Is she okay? Is it inconvenient now?"
”
"Go ahead, the president can distinguish priorities. Moreover," Ouyang Yating looked at the light screen he opened in his hand, "If you want to discuss with her the meal arrangements for the next few days, you'd better prepare them as soon as possible.
It's better. Today's lunch is so rich, and eating compressed food in the evening may make everyone feel depressed in the afternoon and evening."
"Yes." The squad leader nodded, wondering how Ouyang Yating could tell that he was coming to ask about this matter. Is it so obvious in her own appearance?
"No, no, no, no."
To the surprise of both of them, when Kagawa heard the squad leader's suggestion that "I hope to arrange fish and meat food like today at noon and evening every day," she shook her head so fast that her hair hit her face.
"Why? I just asked Fu Chengkai. The camp was well organized today. The fish caught were enough for everyone. Now Mandy and the others have said that they will help pick up some branches when they go on inspection in the afternoon, so that they don't have to worry about setting fires.
Question." asked the monitor.
"It's not a matter of firewood..." Xiangchuan swallowed the apple in his mouth and looked at him with a frown, "First of all, catching so many fish this morning is purely coincidental. We don't know the freshwater fish reserves in this river.
Under such circumstances, there are too many uncertainties in rashly formulating a meal plan based on wild freshwater fish. If the amount of fish caught that day is not enough for everyone, wouldn’t it make everyone hungry in the afternoon or evening? And fish catching
If we eat too much, I'm worried that the nature reserves and training bases will complain, saying that we cause ecological damage or something. After all, fish are the food of carnivores."
"Don't worry about this. According to the map, this river does not connect to areas where carnivores roam. Most of the fish in it are kept for ornamental purposes, so there is no need to worry about environmental issues."
"It's quite worrying that we ate other people's ornamental fish..." Xiangchuan muttered, and then said seriously: "Besides, squad leader, don't forget, we will stay here for four more days.
If you eat fish for days continuously, no matter how delicious the fish is, you will get tired of it. According to my personal experience, it can take as long as three days or as short as two days. After eating for so many days in a row, some people will not want to eat. This will only
It affects health and morale even more."
"Then let's change the approach..."
"This is the wilderness, not our club's kitchen." Xiangchuan looked at the squad leader helplessly, "Even if I change the recipe, it is difficult to completely change the taste of the fish, not to mention the lack of seasonings, and I can't make more.
The taste comes."
"This is not a problem at all." The squad leader and Ouyang Yating also looked at her with helpless eyes: This is really a luxurious trouble!
You must know that this may be the first time that most students in the class have eaten so much freshwater fish. Compared with liquid food and solid food that they have been eating since childhood, everyone is no less curious about freshwater fish than steamed buns, let alone eating three.
Damn it, even if I eat it for ten days, it won’t be a problem.
"But the catch amount is indeed a problem, and the storage equipment is also... President, your lunch boxes..." Ouyang Yating turned her attention to the hill of lunch boxes guarded by the transport robot next to her.
"I haven't tried it, and I don't recommend it." Xiangchuan refused sternly. He was joking. Cooking in the wild is just fun. You still have to plan your rations. How do you clean up the lunch box that is full of fishy smell? "
If you dry the fish, it can be stored for a period of time, but in this season and environment, it doesn't look like it can be dried smoothly..."
After talking for a while, the topic returned to the original point: What to do with the ingredients?
"Oh, it would be great if there were chickens, ducks, and cows." Xiangchuan took a bite of the apple and looked at the sky blankly.
"Huh? Yes." The two said in unison, almost making Kagawa choke on the apple.
"Cough cough cough! Cough...what...what's going on?" Xiangchuan thumped his chest desperately before swallowing the apple, and then suddenly turned his head to look at the two of them.
"I saw some wild chickens when I was walking south this morning with Ainuo and the others... They shouldn't be wild... right?" Ouyang Yating recalled the scene in the morning, frowned, and her tone was a little uncertain.
"Then maybe I saw the same group as you," the squad leader smiled, "When I went out in the morning, I saw a group of chickens pecking at the grass nearby in the bushes. I was curious about why there were chickens, so I took a photo.
, Kagawa-san, can you see if it’s edible?”
Xiangchuan leaned over and looked at the squad leader's light screen. Good guy, it was not only domestic chickens, but even chickens that had been fattened and could be slaughtered immediately. For no reason, Xiangchuan remembered that she had asked at the base two days ago if wild animals could be brought in for emergency.
While eating, instructor Aiyalin looked at her and the students in her class with frightened eyes.
It shouldn't be... right? Kagawa tilted his head.
I was a little dizzy when I posted it last night, but this morning I found that the document was not saved, so I wrote it again angrily...
