Umekawa Uchiku and Nana are very smart, and their reactions are not as quick as Director Chen.
But they also quickly realized how embarrassing the current situation was for both of them.
A flash of anger flashed in Umekawa Neiku's eyes, but he couldn't control it. He could only forcefully laugh and said:
"That……"
"When we hit the road tomorrow, Jieteng and I will look for water..."
"It's not a big deal if you don't drink water for a night..."
Hearing that the two Fusang girls had been wronged again, Su Bai's Fusang Kingdom barrage became more and more violent in Su Bai's live broadcast room.
The barrages of the Shenzhou Kingdom protecting him also became more intensive, and the fighting was fierce.
After Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing arranged the fishskin umbrellas, they had their hands free and started preparing for today's dinner.
They had a deer leg and a bamboo tube full of deer blood.
This largest bamboo tube, with a capacity of nearly one liter, was placed in a snack basket all the way back. Su Bai was very careful so that the deer blood in the bamboo tube did not spill out due to bumps.
Although there was still more deer blood in the red deer carcass, it was no longer possible to carry it.
Zhao Xinqing leaned close to the bamboo tube, with a pair of beautiful eyes shining brightly, and laughed in a low voice:
"Now, our hyponatremia can be alleviated to a certain extent..."
"At least it can buy us three more days."
Seeing that Zhao Xinqing focused all her attention on the deer blood and almost ignored the deer legs with plump deer meat, Su Bai couldn't help but feel worried and asked in a low voice:
"Is drinking blood really good?"
When Zhao Xinqing said that deer blood would be used to supplement salt and alleviate hyponatremia, Su Bai already had some concerns.
It's just that the prey was right in front of him and Su Bai didn't have time to ask.
"During this period, we have many opportunities to drink blood." He frowned slightly.
Apart from anything else, the previous carcasses of the buffalo and the brown-tailed pheasant had a lot of blood on them, but they were both abandoned by the two of them at that time.
Zhao Xinqing heard Su Bai's question, nodded and said with a smile:
"The reason why we didn't use the blood before was that the blood not only contains nutrients, but also contains a lot of dirt."
"As you are concerned, there is a high risk of contracting diseases if you eat raw blood."
"However, deer blood is different."
"Since ancient times, deer blood has been a top nourishing product."
"Drinking deer blood raw is a treatment that only many nobles can enjoy."
"I have never heard of anyone daring to drink pig blood, right? Because the ancient people who dared to do this died quickly."
"Compared with other types of blood, deer blood is very clean and much safer."
“It’s also very nutritious.”
Su Bai naturally had no doubts about Zhao Xinqing's professional judgment.
Hearing what she said, Su Bai nodded and said:
"Oh...in that case..."
He lowered his head and drank the deer's blood from the bamboo tube.
But Zhao Xinqing stopped her and came back.
Su Bai was a little dazed and looked at Zhao Xinqing.
Zhao Xinqing gave Su Bai a slightly angry look and said with a smile:
"I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"Despite this, drinking deer blood raw is still not recommended."
"Deer blood is safe, but only relative."
"If you really drink it raw, you may still get sick."
Su Bai was a little dumbfounded:
"Then...why collect deer blood?"
Zhao Xinqing shook her head and said:
"Of course there are ways to eliminate these hidden dangers."
"The best choice is actually to make deer blood wine."
"Mix deer blood with high-strength liquor and let it sit for a while, then you can drink it with confidence."
"However, we can't use this method."
"We didn't bring the mulberry wine in the camp. Even if we did, the alcohol content is not enough to disinfect and kill insect eggs."
"So, we can only settle for the next best thing and make blood tofu."
Su Bai was stunned for a moment: "Blood tofu? What is that?"
Zhao Xinqing explained:
"The so-called blood tofu actually means 'Xuewang'. The well-known dish, 'Maoxuewang', is made of this as the main ingredient."
"The common pig blood, duck blood, and sheep blood we usually have are all 'blood-promoting'."
Su Bai quickly remembered the pig blood cubes he often ate when making hot pot.
Zhao Xinqing continued:
"Making Xuewang is actually very simple."
"Animal blood contains thrombin."
"We just need to add some cold water to it, and the blood will coagulate quickly."
"Then we heat it up and it's safe to eat."
"However, in this process, a lot of nutrients we need, including salt, will be lost."
"Without the additional salty taste, the blood you get will be full of fishy, irritating, and stinky food, making it difficult to swallow."
"If it weren't for deer blood, other blood wouldn't be worth eating like this."
"Some mixed animal blood, if eaten in excess, can replenish some salt, but it may also cause poisoning..."
While explaining, Zhao Xinqing mixed the remaining cold water in the bamboo tube with her portable water storage into the deer's blood bit by bit.
After stirring once, Zhao Xinqing let the deer blood mixed with water stand.
After the deer's blood completely solidified, Zhao Xinqing tentatively shook the bamboo tube.
As expected, the deer blood inside turned into a large piece of jelly. As Zhao Xinqing shook, the deer blood trembled slightly, but maintained its overall shape.
Zhao Xinqing used a bamboo blade to cut the large piece of deer blood into small square pieces.
At the same time, the water she had placed by the campfire had boiled, and she carefully removed it from the fire.
Zhao Xinqing said:
"When making Xuewang, the water temperature must be controlled."
"Keep it below the boiling point throughout the process, but not cold."
"If not, it will easily turn into a pot of blood soup, which will be very unpalatable by then."
"In the city, you only need to turn on the gas stove on low heat."
"But in the wilderness, this operation is still difficult."
As Zhao Xinqing spoke, she put the cut pieces into solidified deer blood and put them into the boiling hot water.
The deer blood clot was heated, and a layer of dark brown blood foam quickly floated on the water.
The blood clots that sank to the bottom of the water also changed color, gradually turning brown.
Zhao Xinqing pushed the bamboo tube towards the fire again to keep the temperature inside near the boiling point.
After cooking like this for about twenty minutes, Zhao Xinqing took out a piece of deer blood, squeezed it with her hands, and found that it felt almost ready, so she took a tentative bite.
After the deer blood is cooked, it has an extra refreshing taste and breaks easily between the teeth.
Zhao Xinqing chewed it and found that the taste was really bad.
A very strong fishy smell filled her mouth, making Zhao Xinqing feel the urge to vomit.
This is the consequence of not adding salt to the blood.
This was still deer blood. If pig blood was not salted, Zhao Xinqing could not imagine how unpleasant it would taste...
Su Bai came over to take a few bites, and also frowned.
Neither of them liked the taste, but they all ate very seriously and didn't waste even a bite.
In this wilderness, there are too few foods that can provide a certain amount of salt supplement.
These deer have strong blood. Although they are not delicious, they are extremely precious!
The time during which the two of them processed and ate all the deer blood.
Umekawa Uchiku and Nana Koto have found enough shelter materials from the surrounding forests.
The two Fuso girls built a temporary shelter with sloping edges opposite the campfire, sealing the gaps between the branches with leaves, soil, and moss.
This shelter is decent and not crude. Except that it cannot be dismantled and taken away, it is not much different from the small roof put up by Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing.
Just listen to Nana calling Zhao Xinqing very sweetly:
"Dr. Zhao, come and help us see how this shelter is doing."
