[Comprehensive British and American] Wilderness Survival Journey

"Are you okay, are you scared?" Noah watched the snake disappear regretfully, then looked back at Anthony and asked.

"It's okay." Anthony shook his head and said, "Actually, I didn't feel too scared, but I was a little nervous when I suddenly encountered such a big snake."

"Be careful next time. Fortunately, this time you met a python. It would be terrible if it was a poisonous snake." Noah said, then looked at his two red arms that were twisted and asked: "How about the arms, can they move?" ?"

"Yes, it's numb." Anthony said a little aggrieved.

Noah didn't speak, sighed and grabbed his arm and began to massage him.

Anthony suddenly laughed again. He stretched out his arms obediently to facilitate Noah's movements, and said with a smile: "Thank you, don't worry, this time it was my negligence, and I will definitely pay attention next time."

"You don't need to tell me, just remember it yourself, this place is far more dangerous than Tanzania," Noah said.

"I promise I will pay attention." Anthony raised one hand as a sign of oath. With today's lesson, he will never dare to mess with the grass again next time.

Everyone is an adult, so there is no need to say too much about many things. Noah didn't continue to tell him. After Anthony regained consciousness in his hands, the two returned to the mud pit.

Noah caught two eels just now, which was enough for them to have lunch, so he was going to go back to the camp with Anthony now, but when he walked over, he found that the pannier placed by the mud pit had been overturned, and the The two eels were long gone.

Noah's face pulled down at once. It had been a long time since his prey had been caught by him and then escaped. It felt really bad.

Anthony saw Noah's bad face, and immediately apologized obediently: "Noah, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, if I didn't call you, they wouldn't have escaped."

Noah shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with you, I was negligent, I should kill them and throw them into the backpack."

Noah really didn't think it was Anthony's fault, but after hearing this, Anthony felt that Noah was comforting himself, and felt even more depressed. He lowered his head and said, "I'll go and catch them back."

As he spoke, he began to roll up his trouser legs, preparing to enter the mud pit.

But Noah held him back, and he looked at Anthony's stiff movements because of the pain in his butt, and said to him: "Let me do it, can you still fight the mud now, don't get stuck in it again I'll pull you."

When Anthony heard this, he puffed his face in frustration and said, "Well, I know I'm useless and will only drag you down."

"It's really not very useful." Noah said very honestly.

Anthony's face suddenly became more bulging, and he felt a little bit self-defeating.

Although Noah was telling the truth, Anthony felt a little sad when he said it so bluntly. He thought it was useless and being considered useless by someone he liked were two different things after all.

Noah wouldn't understand Anthony's petty thoughts of a crush who cares about gains and losses. He helped up the basket and continued: "Although it's really not helpful, I'm glad you can come here with me. I don't care. He is too good at getting along with strangers, if his partner is someone else, he might not be as happy as he is now."

Anthony, who was going to visualize dark clouds and showers behind his back, immediately changed his expression from cloudy to sunny when he heard Noah's words, and his green eyes lit up. He looked at Noah and said, "You really like staying with me. Are you together? Wouldn’t it be much easier for you to be with another more powerful companion?”

Anthony's words had some deep meaning, but Noah couldn't hear it. He said seriously: "There is not much difference, anyway, I still have to do the same things."

Anthony: "..."

Is it so difficult to just want to say that no one else can compare to you?

Well, it's really difficult, it's Noah after all.

Anthony tried his best to keep smiling, and then said that he couldn't be idle, and walked into the nearby grass again, but this time he walked in the completely opposite direction from before.

Anthony continued to pick bracken, and Noah returned to the mud pit again. Then he ran around the bottom of the pit with his power, found the two eels that escaped just now, and caught them again at a very fast speed .

This time Noah didn't give them another chance to escape, and chopped off their heads after catching them.

So when Noah and Anthony returned to the camp, one of them held two headless eels in their hands, and the other held a small handful of bracken, which was quite a harvest.

With the ingredients, the next thing to do is to make lunch.

Cooking is Anthony's business. Based on all the ingredients they have, he has already made a menu in his mind. Today's lunch is bracken pork soup and pan-fried eel.

When they came, they brought grilled mudskipper and roasted wild boar. They had eaten all the mudskippers, and now there are only a dozen pieces of roasted wild boar left, which can be cooked together with bracken, if fern alone makes soup It's actually not very tasty, but if wild boar is added, the taste will definitely be better.

After all, vegetarian dishes have always been cooked together with meat dishes to enhance the taste.

However, bracken cannot be simply cleaned and used to cook soup directly. The outer fluff of the bracken is covered with dust and toxins, and simple cleaning may not be able to clean it, so it must be blanched with hot water first.

After blanching, it can be cooked directly. This dish does not require Anthony to bother too much. Anyway, it can be eaten as long as it is cooked.

Another dish, pan-fried hairtail, is actually not a troublesome dish, but it is a waste of time to make it. In fact, the steps are very simple.

Anthony first washed the eel and cut it into small pieces, then cut it in half along the fish bone, cut some crossed knives, and set it aside to drain the water.Then chop the jungle ginger that was picked by the way here into ginger paste, mix it with a little salt and pepper, and spread it evenly on the eel pieces for marinating.

This process takes about 10 minutes. During this period, Anthony made a small fire again, then put the wok on the rack, poured a little cooking oil and heated it.After the oil was completely hot, he picked up a few pieces of marinated eel and put them into the pan to start frying.

He didn't dare to put too many pieces of eel in, because the wok tends to be unevenly heated. If too much is put in, the fried eel will easily be half-cooked.

But even if he only put a few pieces of eels into the pot, the frying process still seemed very slow, and even the slowness made Noah feel that he was suffering a little bit.

At this time, the camp was full of scents. After the ginger paste sticking to the eels was fried in oil, a spicy scent erupted, which made people's appetite soar, but those few The piece of eel didn't look like it was ready to be cooked at all, which was very torturous.

"Anthony, when will it be ready?" Noah squatted beside the wok, holding his face in his hands, and asked with his eyes fixed on the eel pieces in the wok.

In fact, the eel meat has already turned white. Noah thinks that it can be eaten to this extent, but Anthony does not quite agree. He turned the pieces of eel with homemade bamboo chopsticks and said: "Take Both sides should be fried until golden brown, and the outer layer would rather be burnt than the inside would be raw."

The living environment of these two eels is so bad, who knows how many dirty things they have eaten, Anthony doesn't want to eat raw ones, he doesn't want to have diarrhea.

There was no way, the chef was the boss when cooking, and Anthony refused to let him eat, so Noah had to obey him obediently.

Finally, it took a few minutes before Anthony announced that the first batch of eels were fried. Noah immediately handed over the bamboo tube that had been cut in half, "Please use it, Master Chef."

"Thank you, Mr. Noah." Anthony smiled, pretending to be serious, and carefully sandwiched a few pieces of eel into the bamboo tube.

"It smells really good." After he clamped it, Noah held the bamboo tube up to his nose and said.

"The new one is definitely delicious." Anthony said, and then he took a bite out of a piece and said, "Not bad, although there are not many seasonings, but the taste is very good, and the meat quality is also very good."

Although he hadn't tasted it yet, Noah still praised sincerely: "Anthony, your cooking must be delicious. I believe in your cooking skills."

"For the sake of your trust in me, Mr. Sievers, you can enjoy all of this." Anthony said, and then took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks and handed them to Noah.

"My honor." Noah said cooperatively, and then took the chopsticks bluntly and began to eat.

The fried eel just out of the pan was a bit hot, but this was not a problem for Noah at all. He first sandwiched each piece of eel into four small pieces, and then quickly finished all the fish one by one.

However, with such a few pieces of fish, it would not be enough for Noah even if he ate them all, so after eating, he held the bamboo tube and squatted in front of the frying pan again, and began to wait for the second batch of fried eels.

It looked like a big dog waiting to be fed by its owner.Anthony couldn't help laughing. He kept flipping the eel pieces in his hand and said, "Noah, you can go and drink some soup first. I still need a little time here."

"I've drank it, and it tastes good, but I don't like vegetables." Noah said, continuing to faithfully guard the wok in front of him.

This was the first time Anthony heard Noah say that he had something he didn't like, and he said in surprise, "I thought you weren't picky."

"Not picky, I just prefer meat to vegetables," Noah said.

"This is a picky eater," Anthony said.

"No." Noah shook his head and insisted, "I can finish everything, but I prefer meat."

As an orphan, it is impossible for Noah to have the bad habit of picky eaters. It is good for him to be able to eat enough. How could he still be picky eaters? But everyone has preferences. For Noah, meat is better than vegetables It tastes better, so when given a choice, he would definitely choose to eat more meat.

Anthony thought that Noah was being stubborn, and he didn't argue with him, but suddenly realized: "No wonder you gave me bamboo shoots to eat yesterday, you don't like bamboo shoots, do you?"

"I'm not a giant panda, of course I don't like to eat bamboo shoots." Noah said as a matter of course.

Anthony was a little disappointed, as happy as he was yesterday, as disappointed now.But he, Anthony Braun, will not give up. Sooner or later, he will ask Noah to give him the meat he likes!
