"It should be edible." Aze's tone was a little uncertain. After all, it is rare to see people hunting crocodile dragons. The Sanchen River is in the center of Luoya Forest, so it is far away from here. "It's just that I haven't eaten it, so I don't know if it tastes good or not."
Hearing that crocodile dragon meat is edible, Chen Qi waved his hand, "Let's deal with it and take it back. It's not a waste of time."
Aze nodded, this crocodile is too thin, and its fur and internal organs cannot be eaten. It would be too wasteful to bring the whole one back. Aze first removed the head and internal organs, and then peeled off the hide, leaving only a thin There is only one layer of meat, and the rest are all bones. There are already several large boxfish keels and antelope keels at home. Chen Qi is not interested in this skinny crocodile bone. He only slices the meat carefully. Instead, the meat on the long tail Tough and strong, there is more flesh in one tail piece than in the whole body.
Looking at the crocodile dragon meat that was already packed in a backpack, Chen Qi was very satisfied, "Ah Ze, what should I do with these unnecessary things?" It's impossible to just throw them where they are.
Aze picked up the head of the crocodile dragon, and threw it into the mouth of the huge ice cave that was knocked open by the crocodile dragon, a splash of water splashed, and then the water surface surged, and a large group of fishes of considerable size swarmed When they got up, they began to scramble to eat the crocodile. "Just throw them all in the river, the fish will kill it."
Chen Qi looked at the dense pile of big fish, his scalp felt a little numb, especially in their big open mouths, the sharp teeth seemed to be shining coldly in the sun, he swallowed to stop Aze from continuing The method of throwing the rest down, suggested: "Let's grab two and see if we can eat them."
Aze looked at the fish churning in the water, how to catch them? You can't go into the water to catch it, right? Aze can't swim, and of course he couldn't let Chen Qi into the water, the water in the Chishui River can freeze people to death.
Chen Qi didn't explain much, he found a suitable one from the pile of branches that A Ze found, broke it into four pieces according to the way it was made when making a torch, and then sharpened the broken part to make a torch. Simple harpoon. Chen Qi made two, handed one of them to A Ze, and then went to the entrance of the ice cave to test the firmness of the ice surface, after all, the cracks were so obvious when it was smashed by the crocodile dragon.
A Ze followed closely beside Chen Qi to prevent any accidents from happening again. Chen Qi checked and confirmed that the ice surface at the entrance of the ice cave was enough to carry the weight of the two of them, and then signaled A Ze to throw away the remaining fur and internal organs of the crocodile dragon. down.
As soon as the thing entered the water, the fish with sharp teeth began to float their heads. Chen Qi carefully looked for the target. The fish were already used to being fed by the orcs, so they were not afraid of the approaching of the orcs. After Chen Qi selected the target, he took a deep breath. He raised the harpoon high and plunged into the water hard, well, it fell through.
A Ze watched Chen Qi's movements, imitated Chen Qi's appearance, and after confirming the target he wanted to spear, he also thrust the harpoon in his hand into the water. Almost all of the harpoon was submerged underwater. There was a trace of blood red. Aze picked up the harpoon, and saw a big lively fish stuck on the harpoon.
Chen Qi: "..." Well, he is just an ordinary person, and he will always miss the first time he handles a spearfish.
This fish looks a bit like a crucian carp except for its mouth full of pointed and long teeth, so Chen Qi thought it was a crucian carp for now. A Ze lowered the fish from the harpoon, and the crucian carp bounced a few times with great force, almost making it jump back into the water. Chen Qi quickly used the rope he had prepared for fishing to pass through the gills of the crucian carp, and tied it tightly.
"Aze, before they finish eating the crocodile dragon, catch two more." Chen Qi happily threw the tied crucian carp aside, and said to Aze, he also picked up the harpoon and planned to try again .
After the accident just now, many fish in the water retreated into the water, but there were still many who couldn't stand the temptation of food and insisted on eating. The food disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Chen Qi didn't hesitate anymore, and went down with a fork again. , The harpoon pierced the hard scale of the crucian carp, leaving a scratch on it. The crucian carp suffered pain and quickly sank into the water. Chen Qi's second attempt still ended in failure.
But Chen Qi was not angry, instead his emotions became even higher. Of course, after the fish had wiped out all the crocodile dragons and submerged into the water, he still failed to catch a fish.
Aze got two more forks, but the last time he forked down, he didn't choose a good target. He stuck a fish with particularly hard scales, and the simple harpoon broke directly, so he had to give up.
Chen Qi was already very happy after catching three crucian carps measuring about one meter long and about 50 catties. They tied them up with ropes. The fish were too heavy to be carried by Aze. Chen Qi didn't want the ice cave to be frozen so soon. When it was frozen, he stuffed the large tree branches into the entrance of the ice cave. Although there was no way to completely cover the entrance of the cave, it was enough to last until tomorrow.
After handling the scene, the two went home.
There were two plates of hot water at home all the time, and Chen Qi planned to dispose of the fish first when he got home. Although the others felt that fish should not be eaten, seeing Chen Qi's excited expression aroused their curiosity. Everyone gathered around to see what Chen Qi was doing, only Ake, who couldn't get out of bed, and Carlo, who needed to take care of the children, couldn't come.
Now that the weather is too cold, Chen Qi naturally cannot use cold water to deal with it. He first mixed a plate of warm water, took a crucian carp and washed it in the water, then began to remove the fish scales with a sword horn knife, then cut open the fish belly, and put the inside Take out all the internal organs of the fish and put them on a pottery plate. These fish have eaten the internal organs of the crocodile dragon. Chen Qi doesn't know if there will be any problems. To be careful, he can only throw them all away. Of course, he will not throw them directly like before. It's over after entering the Chishui River. He intends to use these viscera as bait, and let Aze continue to spear a few more fish in this way tomorrow. By the way, he can also practice the technique of spearing fish.
Chen Qi cleaned out the gills of the fish, then removed the fins, found the largest pottery dish, and planned to stew this big crucian carp directly into a big pot of soup.
Chen Qi added a little animal oil to the pottery dish. After all, the crucian carp was too big. Chen Qi added a little salt to the oil to prevent the crucian carp from sticking to the pan. He put the cleaned crucian carp in and fried it until both sides were golden. Didn't pass the whole crucian carp. There is no cooking wine here, so Chen Qi can only cut a few more slices of wild ginger and put them in to stew together, hoping that there will be no fishy taste.
With the pre-steps in place, all that's left is to take the time to simmer. There are still two crucian carp here. Seeing that A Zhang was eager to deal with the fish, Chen Qi asked him and A Ze to deal with the remaining two crucian carp according to the method he just did.
After Chen Qi opened it for a winter, he collected the strange-tasting rice berries and put them beside the fire to dry the water. After the two men finished processing the crucian carp, Chen Qixian sliced out a large bowl of fleshy fish and marinated it briefly with salt and minced ginger. , and then opened a sweet rice berry, planning to cook a bowl of fish porridge for Ake.
Chen Qi washed a few slices of the unfinished cabbage and cut them into shreds together with a few wild onions for later use. After the rice berries were boiled, put the fish slices in, stir them a little with a spoon, and put them in when they boiled again. Put the cabbage in, wait until the heat is almost ready, add salt, and put a bowl out of it in a pottery bowl.
"Is there no problem with the fish cooked in this way?" Ali couldn't help asking when he smelled the sweet rice porridge, but his heart was still a little bit drummed. After all, no one had ever eaten fish, and some people were ashamed because they ate it secretly. The example of being starved to death is in front.
"I'll teach you how to pick out the fishbone inside." Chen Qi smiled, found another ceramic bowl, clamped the fish fillets together with chopsticks, first checked whether there were any fishbone falling out of the porridge, and then started Pop the bones out of the fish.
Even though this crucian carp is as big as more than 50 catties, its fishbone is very small, and it can just get stuck in the throat if you accidentally eat it. Moreover, this kind of fishbone is not hard, but has a certain Toughness, not easy to break. Chen used his chopsticks to pick out a fishbone and handed it to several people, "As long as you remove these fishbone, the fish can be eaten."
Chen Qi ate a small piece of fish meat that had been cleaned of fishbone. The fish meat was sweet and soft, without any fishy smell. Aze watched Chen Qi's reaction nervously, fearing that he would show a painful expression in the next moment, "Chen Qi Kai, are you okay?"
"What can I do?" Chen Qi rolled his eyes, and found it funny that the orcs looked like they were facing an enemy when they ate every fish. He took a piece of fish and brought it to Aze's lips, coaxing Said: "Take a little and try."
Aze ate the fish in front of him without hesitation. The fish was soft and there was nothing wrong with it except that the taste was a bit strange. This time it was Ah Li's turn to be nervous. After seeing A Ze swallowing the fish, he couldn't help asking: "A Ze, how are you? Are you okay?"
Aze shook his head, "It's okay, this thing is indeed edible." It's better to say that it tastes good.
Chen Qi gave them a brief introduction to the case of them being starved to death after being stuck in the throat by a fishbone, and then mixed the fish meat with the fishbone removed back into the rice porridge, took out the bowls and chopsticks and shared a small amount with each of them. Bowl, let them try it to see if they are used to it.
Chen Qi didn't make much fish porridge, and the other fish meat was put outside the house to freeze first. Except for Ake, who was given a big bowl full, everyone else could only taste it. Ake didn't feel uncomfortable. Seeing Chen Qi saying that this fish porridge can be eaten with peace of mind, he ate a large bowl of fish porridge under Carlo's worried eyes, and naturally continued to fall asleep after eating. Now Ake only has one day. Three meals are awake.
Chen Qi cut a few plates of dragon meat slices and a plate of crucian carp slices. Today, he asked Aze to find a flat stone slab to set up by the fire, and he was teaching a few people how to grill meat.
Grease the heated slate, and Chen Qixian put a piece of pork belly on it. There is no sauce here. Chen Qixian marinated the meat with salt in advance, and now it can be eaten directly on the slate. It is very simple. , Chen Qi just demonstrated once and everyone knows how to do it.
"Chen Qi, do you want to finish this big plate of fish fillets by yourself?" Azhang looked at Chen Qi teaching them and then grilled the fish slices for himself, feeling sour in his heart, the smell of the fish roasted by Chen Qi was delicious Sweet, obviously he can already eat fish, why does Chen Qi still eat it alone? Anyway, he is still the patriarch of this tribe.
"It's the first time you eat fish, I'm afraid you won't get used to it. You can eat fish tomorrow if you don't have any adverse reactions." Chen Qimei happily stuffed the meat from the fish bones into his mouth, and grilled it The smell of fish meat is stronger, and Chen Qi hasn't eaten it for a long time.
A Li put the grilled fish dragon meat slices into A Zhang's bowl, and comforted him: "Let's bear with it today, after all, it's our first time eating fish, so it's good to be careful."
Hearing A Li's words, Chen Qi grinned at A Zhang, and put the grilled pork belly slices into A Ze's bowl. Chen Qi didn't know if they were allergic to fish, so he didn't let them eat too much at once. Even the fish porridge for Ake only left a few pieces of fish, but he hadn't eaten fish for a long time , now that such a big fish was in front of him, I couldn't help but forgive Chen Qi.
Let's stop tempting them after eating these slices, Chen Qi thought with the fish slices in his mouth.
"..." Looking at Chen Qi's satisfied face, the villain in Ah Zhang's heart has already started to squat in the corner to draw circles, well, he endured it, isn't it just for one night.
