Chapter 30 I don't know what happened to Wang Bang Bang Huo?
When the barrage heard Zhao Xinqing's words, it immediately exploded:
[Holy shit! It’s actually a paddlefish???]
[This thing was originally only owned by the State of China, but I didn’t expect it to be found on this uninhabited desert island? 】
[Incredible, incredible! So, this program has also contributed to the exploration of the world’s biological diversity?]
[Upstairs, it’s not this show, it’s our fifth group in China!]
[I’m so envious, the things that can be eaten to extinction by the Kingdom of China are all delicacies in the world!]
[I don’t know if this subspecies of white sturgeon is delicious...is it as delicious as the Yangtze River paddlefish...]
[Ahem... As a staff member of the forestry and fishery protection department, I would like to remind everyone in a low voice: You are not allowed to catch rare animals, no matter how delicious they are! You will be jailed.]
After Zhao Xinqing made a brief report on the live broadcast footage, she squatted next to the paddlefish subspecies and said worriedly:
"How to deal with such a big fish..."
Su Bai took out the sharp stone used yesterday from his backpack and said:
"Here I go, you can use coconut shells to heat hot water."
The skin of such a huge fish is also extremely tough. Su Bai used a lot of strength to cut open the belly of the white sturgeon subspecies.
Except for the swim bladder and liver, all the internal organs were thrown into the river.
Su Bai looked carefully at the huge transparent white fish bladder in the dim sky with dark clouds. After a while, he nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Yes, there are no parasites in this fish's swim bladder and it is edible."
He handed the fish bladder to Zhao Xinqing and asked her to cut it into small pieces and put it into water to stew.
As for the fish liver, Su Bai planned to keep it as bait, but not to eat it himself.
The fat content and various nutrients in such a big fish are definitely enough to eat. Although the fish liver is rich in fat, it is also toxic to a certain extent. Su Bai is not willing to take this risk.
Then he cut several strips of meat from the belly of the fish and stewed them together in a coconut shell. Only then did Su Bai carefully start peeling off the skin of the fish.
The two of them had nothing but the initial equipment and a backpack.
This large and thick fish skin, as long as it is used properly, can bring a lot of help to the two of them.
Skinning a fish was originally a very simple task, but the fish was too big and Su Bai only had a sharp-edged stone, which made it a lot more difficult.
Once the fish skin is damaged during the peeling process, its usability is greatly reduced.
After a full hour passed, the fish soup in the three coconut shells had been stewed, and Su Bai peeled off half of the fish skin.
During this time, Zhao Xinqing was taking care of the fish soup and making two pairs of rough chopsticks. Seeing Su Bai sweating profusely, she smiled and said:
"Come and eat, rest for a while and then peel it off."
Su Bai sat down and ate meat and soup.
The fish maw is smooth, tender and refreshing, and the fish meat is delicious and tender.
The rich fats in the ingredients have separated out a lot, giving this bowl of broth a very thick texture.
"It's just a little fishy...you have to eat it while it's hot."
This is because Zhao Xinqing put some unknown leaves picked on the road inside, otherwise it would be more fishy.
Su Bai ate meat and soup without caring about his image, which aroused the barrage in the live broadcast room to condemn:
[Can’t you be more restrained in front of Dr. Zhao? 】
[However, Dr. Zhao doesn’t seem to care...]
[Dr. Zhao looked at Su Bai eating and had an aunty smile on his face...]
【Can you two please get married where you are?】
Zhao Xinqing turned the tablet upside down and sipped the soup gracefully while saying:
"It's a pity that I didn't encounter wild ginger, otherwise it would have been better."
"When we settle down later, we can go to the beach to refine some salt."
Su Bai nodded, put down the empty coconut bowl in his hand, and looked at the third bowl of fish soup that was still bubbling next to the fire.
When the two of them left, they only brought one coconut bowl to hold the fungi, and the remaining two bowls were a newly smashed coconut to hold water.
For this reason, Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing now only have three complete empty coconuts left to hold water.
Three bowls of fish soup, two people, obviously can't be shared equally.
The barrage shouted:
【Drink together! Drink together!】
[You feed Dr. Zhao, Dr. Zhao feeds you!]
【Ah ah ah ah ah, I feel unbearable just thinking about it. 】
Su Bai was about to get up and continue skinning the fish, showing off his gentlemanly demeanor, when he heard Zhao Xinqing say:
"I haven't finished eating yet. If you eat that bowl, you can cook a new one."
Zhao Xinqing pointed to her bowl, which still contained more than half a bowl of fish soup and fish meat.
Barrage: [This is a good excuse!]
[I just thought of it, Dr. Zhao would definitely say that!]
Su Bai coughed slightly, then took the fish soup and started eating it.
There is plenty of food, so there is no need to be too modest.
Besides, he was indeed hungry.
The two of them spent the whole afternoon peeling and eating.
Three bowls of fish soup were obviously not enough to eat. There was an hour of simmering between each meal, directly connecting lunch and dinner together, and we ate until 7:30 in the evening.
It was getting dark, and the two of them had round stomachs and couldn't eat anything anymore.
"belch--"
Su Bai burped, stood in front of the fire, looked at the complete skin of the white sturgeon subspecies that he had peeled off, and nodded with satisfaction.
This piece of fish skin is in the shape of a trapezoid. There is no damage on it. It feels thick and sticky. After drying, it can even be used as a quilt cover.
"Can you sew?" Su Bai asked.
Zhao Xinqing nodded: "Well, there is still some sisal left, what do you want to sew?"
Su Bai said:
"Let the fish skin dry in the sun tomorrow morning and you can sew yourself a fish skin satchel."
Su Bai gestured as he spoke. Zhao Xinqing quickly understood what he meant and nodded:
"no problem."
Su Bai moved the fire to a different position, lay on the ground warmed by the fire, patted the place next to him, and sighed:
"Get some rest, I'm very tired today..."
His whole body was so weak that he could hardly lift his arms.
Competing with this subspecies of paddlefish really cost him too much energy.
Zhao Xinqing lay next to Su Bai, sharing the temperature of the ground with him, and asked in a low voice:
"Tomorrow... I'm afraid I won't be able to leave, right?"
Su Bai thought for a while:
"I probably can't leave."
“It’s quite safe here, and it’s good for a short stay.”
The two's original plan was to continue on the road tomorrow to find a suitable permanent camp.
But this subspecies of white sturgeon came suddenly, and a good piece of fish skin cannot be wasted.
Tomorrow we will dry, sew, and make fish jerky. The day is full, and there will definitely be no room to rush.
The two chatted casually, and Zhao Xinqing suddenly became energetic, wide-eyed, and asked:
"I don't know what happened to Wang Bang Bang and the others."
"Has the fire started yet?"
With that said, Zhao Xinqing opened the live broadcast tablet that she had not watched for a long time.
