Chapter 173 Blindly catering to will only be looked down upon (double
Faced with Wu Jiayi's sudden "unexpected performance", Shen Gu was indeed surprised.
Because since Wu Jiayi took the initiative to give up asking him to "apologise", he felt that Wu Jiayi would definitely continue to "please him" as much as possible during the rest of the time on the island, so that she could compete with Su Ziqing for his feelings. More advantageous.
After having such a "preconceived" feeling.
Objectively speaking, Shen Gu's attitude towards Wu Jiayi later seemed a bit loose.
Not to mention that in terms of attention, it was compared with Su Ziqing, whom he already "favored"!
As the saying goes, it's obviously the same thing, but the feelings in different people's hearts are completely different!
Maybe Shen Gu didn't see much of a problem with this subconscious "differential treatment" in his usual behavior.
But in Wu Jiayi's heart, dissatisfaction has gradually outweighed her "competitiveness" in wanting to compete with Su Ziqing to "grab" Shen Gu!
Seeing Shen Gu "getting angry" at her unexpectedly, he showed a surprised expression.
Although Wu Jiayi felt a little "afraid of losing Shen Gu's favor", she did not hesitate to say something more "tactful" in tone and meaning!
What appeared in her mind at this moment was the voice of dissatisfaction she had suppressed in front of Shen Gu for a long time:
"I, Wu Jiayi, am a popular first-line actress in the entertainment industry!"
"Shen Gu, please don't think that because I like you very much, you don't take me seriously!!"
"Since my debut, it has always been men who actively pursue me."
"Now you have the thought of looking down on me because of my emotional proactiveness, but I will never tolerate it!"
Thinking of this, Wu Jiayi, who had already prepared a "way out" for this "attack" against Shen Gu, gritted her teeth in her heart and strengthened her determination at this moment, and continued to explain why she agreed with Zhou Yang's proposal:
"Except for the clothes, although the cabin has been built, it is still empty inside."
"I suggest we spend the rest of the time getting more palm fronds to make beds."
"Before that, we need to spend more time cleaning up the weeds in the wooden house so that we can lie down more comfortably at night."
When Shen Gu heard these words, he did feel that they made sense.
However, among the large amount of wild boar meat that was not hung on the bacon rack, he did not want to give up at least four pig leg parts.
After hesitating for a moment, he said to Zhou Yang, who had been recognized as replacing him as "leader":
"Sister Zhou, I can agree to save time on making another bacon rack and do other things that we need to do more urgently today."
"But it would be a pity to give up all the smoked meat that is not on the shelves. At least the four pork legs inside should be kept!"
"I didn't deal with the fur on them because of the trouble. I just washed them with stream water before."
"It stands to reason that if this is the case, the storage time should be longer."
After saying that, he turned to Su Ziqing and asked:
"Xiao Su, do you know how to increase their shelf life without smoking them?"
At this time, Su Ziqing seemed to have already thought about this matter, and said confidently:
"If there are no other racks for smoking, then if you want to prevent the remaining meat from quickly spoiling, you must first figure out why the meat will spoil quickly on the island."
"The meat itself is rich in nutrients and water, and the remaining enzymes in it will break down the protein and produce harmful substances through biochemical reactions after the animal dies."
"At the same time, the hemoglobin in the meat is also deformed due to changes in temperature, and the fat will also cause oxidation and spoilage when it comes into contact with the air."
"Microorganisms in the air will reproduce in large numbers through contact with the meat at the wound. If the temperature and humidity are conducive to their reproduction, the raw meat will generally deteriorate within a day and become inedible!"
This long theory made Shen Gu and the other two girls a little stunned.
It is difficult to digest so much core content of theoretical knowledge at once in a very short period of time.
However, because they had known that Su Ziqing had the personal attributes of a "super academic", they were not too surprised by her "professional explanation".
They just smiled at each other and continued to remain silent, listening carefully to the solution Su Ziqing was going to say next!
"If you don't smoke in the wild, another better way to preserve meat is to pickle it with salt."
When Su Ziqing said this, he pointed to the seaside and said:
"It's actually very convenient to get salt on the island, especially since we also have convenient tools that can boil sea water!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiayi immediately felt that she had caught a "loophole".
He immediately objected:
"Even if the salt is safe for wild boar, the picnic pot is now being used to stew the meat!"
"When the meat is cooked, we will eat it all. I'm afraid it will be very late."
"At that time, the jungle on the island will also become very dark, and it is not suitable for us to take the picnic pot to the beach to get water, and then return to the camp to boil salt."
"Even if we can make a fire at the beach to do this, after getting the salt, we still have to carefully walk through the dark jungle back to the camp."
"Torches are not suitable for use in such a dense jungle. If the trees are accidentally set on fire while traveling, even if we can escape, it will be bad for the entire program team and even the Feiji government that provided the island to us. It’s impossible to explain!”
Such well-founded objections made Wu Jiayi very satisfied with herself.
She didn't want to appear to be "opposing for the sake of opposing" when she opposed Su Ziqing.
That would only make him look "less graceful" in front of the camera, and would more likely arouse Shen Gu's "sympathy" for Su Ziqing.
This was obviously too much for her strategy of "blindly pandering" to Shen Gu because she didn't want to show it.
But what Su Ziqing said next surprised her!
Because she has obviously thought about these difficult situations and then gave a relaxed response:
"You don't have to worry too much."
"I don't have to carry sea water back. I just need to bring the excess meat that is difficult to process immediately to the beach. I have my own way!"
In the end, the solution Shen Gu saw was that after Su Ziqing went to the beach with him, she asked him to use a stone ax to help her other hand dig a hole on the beach a little away from the sea...
Because the beach is full of white fine sand and is soft, the entire digging process is relatively easy.
When she felt that the pit was big enough to accommodate the pork they brought to the beach, Su Ziqing directly asked him to put the meat and the palm leaves wrapping it into the pit together!
Then the pit was filled with fine sand again, and finally a few long branches were inserted into it to mark it for easy finding in the future.
"That's not what you said before coming here!"
After all these things were completed, Shen Gu said to Su Ziqing meaningfully:
"What you told Wu Jiayi at that time was to dig a pit and bring in seawater, and then use the salinity of the seawater to keep the meat fresh."
