"Buzz…"
The oyster was roasted over the charcoal fire, and the water was boiling inside the shell.
"It's good to have garlic at this time." Chu Feng suddenly remembered a barbecue meal he had at school. The garlic in the oyster was a soul supplement.
"Chu Feng, can we eat now?" Yun Xin stirred the seaweed in the steel pot, but her eyes were fixed on the oyster on the charcoal fire. The pieces of meat looked delicious.
"That's enough. Be careful, it's hot." Chu Feng picked up a piece of oyster meat with a bamboo skewer, blew on it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The first thing he felt was that it was salty. It was chewy when he bit down on it. It tasted delicious and had a little fishy smell.
"It tastes a little like the clams we ate before. The fishy smell is stronger.”
Yun Xin chewed and swallowed it, then commented,"It lacks seasonings. Otherwise, it would be even more delicious.”
Everyone's taste was different. Just like how some people ate durian for the first time, some people found it unpalatable, while others found it very delicious.
"Later on, we'll get some back and add some mountain chili juice. It should taste better.”Chu Feng suggested. When there was food, of course, he wanted to make it delicious.
"We can also get more seaweed back.”Yun Xin felt that seaweed was more delicious than wild vegetables.
Eating too many wild vegetables and accumulating too much sulfuric acid in the stomach would cause diarrhea.
"Yes, after eating, boil some more salt. In the future, you can marinate your prey.”Chu Feng said softly.
The seafood he ate today was equivalent to replenishing his salt. Sea salt still needed to be boiled. In the future, if the prey could not finish eating it, they would need salt to preserve it.
"Alright." Yun Xin was eating happily with the bamboo skewer. She could eat until she was full.
A few minutes later, the two of them finished eating.
The girl then boiled the seawater to extract salt.
Chu Feng took the bamboo tube to collect dinner and used the chopper to pick the oyster meat out and put it into the bamboo tube.
He also collected a pile of seaweed and dried it on the wood. With the current sunlight, the water content of the seaweed would evaporate in two to three hours.
"Yo! There are actually crabs." Chu Feng had just lifted a rock when a crab crawled out from under it. It was quite fast.
He pressed down on the cap-sized crab and chuckled.""We can have extra meals tonight."
With this discovery, Chu Feng lifted a few more rocks, and he really found quite a number of crabs. The biggest crab was as big as three index fingers, which was also a pleasant surprise.
He also found some gobies the size of an index finger in the shallow water of the reef. He wanted to fish for some protein, but he didn't have the tools.
"Looks like I have to make a few more cages tonight.”Chu Feng looked at the undulating surface of the sea. Who knew how dangerous it would be down there? Otherwise, he could try diving into the water.
He took a bamboo tube full of oyster meat and walked towards the fire. It was time to return to the camp, or it would be dark soon.
"Ta Ta Ta…"
"How did it go? How much salt did you boil?" Chu Feng asked softly.
"Just enough to fill a bamboo tube." Yun Xin was all smiles as she raised the bamboo tube that was as long as her palm.
"Alright, that's enough for now. Let's go back.”Chu Feng looked at the water in the wooden bucket. There was already a little bit left.
"Alright, I'll put away the seaweed." Yun Xin took a rope and tied the dried seaweed into a ball.
"I gained a lot today." Chu Feng used sand to extinguish the fire.
He poured the remaining water from the wooden bucket into the steel pot and put the bamboo tube filled with salt and oyster meat into the wooden bucket.
"Let's go home." Yun Xin quickly carried the seaweed on her back. She held the tools to drill wood to make fire in one hand and the steel pot in the other.
The two of them carefully climbed the rocks and left the beach. They came to the shore.
"I'll bring another handful of bamboo back." Chu Feng used his hand to pull a bundle of bamboo.
"Is it too heavy?" Yun Xin asked with concern.
"It won't be heavy. It's much easier now.”Chu Feng said softly. The water in the wooden bucket had been used up, and now it was much easier.
The bamboo was still dry, so it was not very heavy. Dragging it would save a lot of energy. Even though the speed would be slower, it was still much faster than cutting through the trees.
"Ta Ta Ta…"
On the way back, the two of them were very relaxed. They had achieved their goal of going out. They had obtained bamboo and salt, and they had even filled their stomachs.
"Chu Feng, do you think we can dry the oyster meat?”Yun Xin was thinking about how to accumulate stock.
Since ancient times, the people of the Yan Kingdom had always had the same thought. They would not panic if they had enough food at home. This was an instinct that had fused into their bloodline. As long as possible, they would try to accumulate food in case they ran out of food in an emergency.
Chu Feng and Yun Xin, who grew up in the orphanage, had such thoughts. Especially after coming to the wilderness, this thought became even stronger.
"Sure, but it will shrink a lot. It's not worth it to dry the oyster meat now.”Chu Feng shook his head.
"If that's the case, then I'd better save more seaweed.”Yun Xin also felt that it made sense, so she set her sights on the seaweed.
"Yes, we'll go to the beach to collect more in the next two days. If there's excess oyster meat, we can also dry it and move the bamboo back to the camp.”Chu Feng smiled.
He wanted to see if he could catch fish, prawns, and crabs in the cage. If he could, he would have another source of food and at least be able to bid farewell to hunger.
