Chapter 250 Fishing?
Xue Cheng had a question mark on his face: "Do crocodiles also have kidneys?"
Ma Xiaoshu took a piece of internal organs and said: "Not only are there, but they are bigger than yours! If you don't believe me, come out and compare."
Xue Cheng: "Crazy..."
He squatted with the dog and watched Ma Xiaoshu processing the crocodile's internal organs. Except for two kidneys and one liver, the other internal organs were thrown into the water to feed the fish. In addition, the crocodile meat also had to be processed, and the excess was salted.
Hanging on a branch far away from the camp.
Xue Cheng asked curiously: "You put the meat so far away, what should you do if it gets stolen?"
Ma Xiaoshu explained: "It's better to have your meat stolen than your home stolen, right? There must be beasts in this jungle, such as tigers. Their noses are very sensitive and they can climb trees."
“How can there be tigers in Southeast Asia?”
"Where is this?"
"Sumatra, Indonesia."
“Never heard of the Sumatran tiger?”
"Oh! I have an impression. I hope we won't meet him."
"It'll be fine if you encounter it during the day. This is one of the smallest tigers, maybe..."
"Brother, your idea is very dangerous! Having crocodile meat is not enough for you, you also want to get tigers."
Ma Xiaoshu pouted: "This crocodile meat is not very delicious, but it is rich in nutrients. It is a low-fat and low-cholesterol meat. The crocodile liver can nourish the brain, remove moisture, nourish yin and improve eyesight, and the kidneys can clear the lungs.
It can reduce phlegm and even relieve tuberculosis, isn’t it amazing?”
During the special training, Ma Xiaoshu was keen on cooking delicious food and learned a lot about wild food.
Xue Cheng was confused: "The kidneys...don't you need to make up for anything else?"
Ma Xiaoshu: "It also nourishes the kidneys."
"That's right! Hey, let Teacher Sha eat more later."
Xue Cheng understood and said to the camera.
Sha Yi limped over and said, "Don't give it to me. My kidneys are very good. You'd better eat more. You're as thin as a monkey."
Xue Cheng: "I'm thin, but it's obviously you who's made me fat! You can't even lose weight while recording a survival show?"
Sha Yi touched his belly: "I seem to be getting fatter. After all, we are a food show, hahaha..."
Xue Cheng smiled and said: "I think after the show is broadcast, the hot searches will change from feeling sorry for you to envying you."
While they were joking and joking, Ma Xiaoshu finished processing the crocodile meat, and then it was time to cook. This is the part that audiences at home and abroad like to watch the most.
Domestic audiences envy Ma Xiaoshu for eating wild game, while foreign audiences are shocked by Ma Xiaoshu's ever-changing cooking skills.
Today's dishes are relatively ordinary, including rice braised in bamboo tubes, stir-fried crocodile liver and kidneys, roasted crocodile meat in bamboo tubes, fried cabbage, and cucumbers.
Braised crocodile in a bamboo tube is a bit like braised rice in a bamboo tube. The crocodile meat is cut into pieces and marinated with salt for half an hour. Then water, ginger slices and star anise are added, and then placed next to the fire to cook.
The most technical test is stir-frying the liver and kidneys. First cut the crocodile kidneys open, remove the white stuff, rinse it several times, cut it into flower shapes, slice the liver, add ginger slices, and mix well with cooking wine to taste.
Then Ma Xiaoshu took out some cornstarch and put it in a bamboo bowl, added a little water, put his fingers in and stirred.
Buzz buzz...
I saw Ma Xiaoshu's fingers trembling rapidly, so fast that afterimages appeared. He quickly adjusted it, poured it into the bamboo tube containing the meat, and stirred.
Xue Cheng looked at Ma Xiaoshu in astonishment, with envy on his face: "Is there a motor on your finger?"
Ma Xiaoshu: "What's wrong?"
Xue Cheng sighed: "The hand speed is too fast, isn't it? Who can withstand this!"
Sha Yi also drove along: "It's faster than an egg beater! Tsk, tsk, I must have practiced playing the guitar."
Xue Cheng: "If all five fingers were so fast, they would definitely go crazy!"
Sha Yi said: "Isn't there ten fingers in total?"
Ma Xiaoshu was too lazy to pay attention to their weirdness. This kind of tiger and wolf talk should be cut off.
However, it was not cut.
There are various drivers in the barrage, including Ma Xiaoshu being a ceiling-level craftsman, and sisters envying Gao Wen by their real names, which is weird.
Ma Xiaoshu's serious cooking behavior was misunderstood by them again.
Put oil in a pan, fry the peppercorns over low heat until fragrant, turn up the heat, add the liver and kidneys and stir-fry quickly, add bean paste, pickled peppers, garlic cloves, soy sauce, chicken essence, stir well, put it on a plate, uh... put it in a bamboo tube.
Stir-fried crocodile version of liver and kidneys in a half-bamboo tube with full color, flavor and flavor, it’s done!
As the sky gradually darkened, the three of them sat by the rocks by the lake and ate next to the fire.
Xue Cheng eats the most delicious food, especially stir-fried liver and kidneys.
Sha Yi ate the most. His favorite was crocodile meat grilled in bamboo tubes. The crocodile meat was not as hot as it was at noon. It tasted surprisingly good. It seemed that it was grilled for too long...
Tableware is naturally made of bamboo. In a wilderness environment, bamboo is simply a universal artifact.
After eating, the three of them drank and chatted by the fire.
While Ma Xiaoshu was drinking, he also made a dog cage. He was afraid that something would snatch him away in the middle of the night. How could he make money for dog food without his work?
The fire was lit all night, and every once in a while, Ma Xiaoshu would get up to add more firewood.
This fire is not big, but it can deter wild animals from approaching.
the next day.
Ma Xiaoshu, Sha Yi and Xue Cheng built a second tree house on the other two branches of the same banyan tree. It was only more than two meters away from the previous tree house and the location was higher.
Ma Xiaoshu did not make a ladder for this tree house to go down directly. Instead, he used bamboo and vines to build a ladder to connect the two tree houses. This was safer. After all, all the beasts in the jungle can climb trees.
It was almost noon, and the helicopter from the program crew arrived and dropped the dog food and the second phase of the mission.
After watching it, Sha Yi scolded the program crew for not being human, and Lao Xue watched in silence.
The second task is: "Catch at least one fish."
After scolding, Sha Yi looked at Ma Xiaoshu: "How to do this? We don't have fishing lines and hooks."
Xue Cheng laughed: "Damn it! Your program team is so perverted? How can you complete a task like fishing? Catching fish is easier! Are there fish in this lake?"
Ma Xiaoshu: "There are fish, quite a lot. I went diving to see them yesterday, but they were difficult to catch."
Sayi: "The problem is that there is no fishhook!"
Ma Xiaoshu said simply: "Do it."
Xue Cheng thought of yesterday's topic: "You smelt iron with your bare hands to make fish hooks?"
Ma Xiaoshu scratched his head: "Why do we need to smelt iron? We can use bamboo to make fish hooks. You haven't seen it before, right?"
They both shook their heads at the same time. How could bamboo be made into a fishhook?
Ma Xiaoshu understood that these two people really had not seen much of the world, so he ordered them to find white vine bark, which was the strongest vine in the rainforest, and its fibers could be used to make fishing lines.
Ma Xiaoshu himself took the remaining bamboo strips, roasted them on the fire, then bent them into a U shape and fixed them with ropes.
Bamboo has a characteristic, that is, it has a certain degree of plasticity after being burned. If it is fixed properly, it will still remain bent after being untied for a period of time.
After finalizing the shape, cut the U-shaped part into four centimeter sections, sharpen one end and carve a groove on the other end to tie the fishing line.
Although this kind of fishhook is a bit big and rough, it is already the best choice.
There is another way, which is to use crocodile bones to make fishhooks, but that is too difficult and Ma Xiaoshu doesn't want to try it.
After a while, Lao Xue and Lao Sha came back. When they saw the three bamboo fish hooks made by Ma Xiaoshu, they flattered them one after another.
As for making fishing line, it is even simpler. It does not need to be as thin as the fishing line on the market. You only need to peel out the fibers from the white rattan bark, tear it into thin strips, and braid it.
At noon, there was no rice, so the three of them cooked a box of instant noodles and paired it with crocodile meat, which was barely enough.
After dinner, they went to the lake to fish.
Chapter completed!
