Food King [Interstellar]

"What happened?" When Luo Xun returned to the camp, he saw Jiang Tang sitting on the ground with marshmallows in his arms, staring at the lake in a daze, steam was rising from the pot, and the fire in the stove was almost extinguished.

Jiang Tang finally came back to his senses and turned his head to see that Luo Xun was holding a pot in his left hand and a branch on his right shoulder. The branch was full of unknown fruits. He put his heart back into his stomach: "You are back ?” He quickly got up from the ground, jumped down from the cotton candy in his arms, ran towards Luo Xun, and yelled at him, as if telling his horror.

Luo Xun looked at the marshmallow in surprise, this was the first time it took the initiative to get close to him, he put down the things in his hands, squatted down and reached out to touch the marshmallow: "What's wrong with you, marshmallow, why is your hair wet? "Marshmallow didn't even protest his stroking.

Jiang Tang let out a long breath: "Marshmallow was playing in the lake just now, and a big thing chased after it to eat it, which frightened it."

Luo Xun looked up at Jiang Tang: "How big is it?"

Jiang Tang thought for a while: "I don't know how big it is. It only shows part of its head, and its mouth is at least one meter wide. It's easy to swallow a person. Don't take a bath in the deep water area in the future, it's too dangerous."

Luo Xun nodded: "Understood. Are you frightened?"

Jiang Tang scratched his face: "It's okay, but I'm a little scared. Fortunately, I haven't been to the deep water area. I didn't expect there to be such a big creature in the lake. It shouldn't go ashore, right?"

Rosen said: "Usually no, amphibians should come ashore. Since we haven't seen such a large creature on land, it shouldn't be an amphibian. Don't worry, there is me. You boiled it in the pot. What?"

Jiang Tang came back to his senses: "Yes, I made fish soup, I'll go and have a look."

"I found some mineral salt, see if you can use it." Luo Xun handed the basin to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang looked down, and there were some off-white lumps inside. He squeezed a little into his mouth and tasted it, and it really tasted salty. Jiang Tang's face brightened instantly: "It's really salt. You're really good, where can you find it?" of?"

Luo Xun said: "It's in the woods. There are some fruits here. You can try it." He picked an orange-sized fruit from a branch and handed it to Jiang Tang. With relish.

Jiang Tang took the fruit and mineral salt, and smiled like a fool: "Thank you. I'll melt the salt. When it's cooked, we'll have salt to eat, hehe." Finally, the bird no longer faded out of his mouth. , He took two steps towards the lake, suddenly remembered the scene just now, couldn't help but stop his feet again, turned around and put the basin in Luo Xun's arms, "Go and fill it with water to melt it, I'll go see the fish soup." Jiang Tang was not timid, but seeing such a big guy, it would be a lie to say that he didn't have any psychological shadows.

Luo Xun guessed what he was thinking, and didn't make it clear, just smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll go."

Jiang Tang looked at the fish soup while nibbling the fruit. The fruit was sweet and sour, crisp and delicious.The water in the pot was almost boiled dry, so he quickly stirred it, and was about to take the pot down, when he remembered something, poured some more boiling water into it, and added some firewood to the stove: "Luo Xun, how are you?" No, bring the salt here."

Luo Xun came over with a basin full of water: "Do you want to use it now?"

Jiang Tang looked at the water in the basin. The salt block was slowly melting. Because of the impurities, the water looked a little cloudy. He hesitated: "I'll add some water, it doesn't matter if it's a little dusty."

Luo Xun didn't care: "It's up to you."

Jiang Tang still couldn't resist the temptation of salt. He poured a little bit of salt water into the pot with his hands in his hand, and said in his mouth, "It's not clean, you won't get sick if you eat it, and you won't die if you eat a little soil."

Listening to what he said, Luo Xun couldn't help but smile.

After the fish soup was cooked, Jiang Tang fried three steaks with the lean meat that he had prepared in the morning, sprinkled a little salt water on top, and added a little wild garlic. busy.

Salt brings out the five flavors, the pork chops are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, slightly spicy, crispy and delicious when you take a bite, it is so delicious that you can swallow your tongue, take a sip of fish soup with silt, it is so delicious that Jiangtang will fly , This is the first meal he ate in this world.

Luo Xun didn't seem to mind the mud and sand in the fish soup, and he ate it with relish. The food with oil and salt really tasted different. He raised his eyebrows after eating, and commented concisely: "It's delicious!"

Even marshmallows are fond of salted meat. After eating its steak, they jump on Jiang Tang's lap and still want it.Jiang Tang said: "There is no more meat, let's drink some soup. You say that your body is so small, and eating such a large piece of meat is not enough. Can your stomach hold it?"

After lunch, Jiang Tang hurriedly started his salt cooking business. He washed all the containers and used them to dissolve the salt. After the salt water was completely cleared, he poured it into a pot and started boiling.Lawson was sent to chop wood, because cooking salt required a lot of firewood.

Jiang Tang didn't do anything else this afternoon, he just boiled all the salt that Luo Xun brought back, and finally collected a bowl of salt.Looking at the white bowl of salt, Jiang Tang was so happy that he couldn't open his eyes. Now there is no shortage of salt to eat.

Jiang Tang burned the fire all afternoon and was exposed to the sun again. His body was soaked in sweat countless times. At this time, his face was red and black. The red was from the heat, and the black was from the soot.Seeing beads of sweat slowly rolling down Jiang Tang's face, leaving a clear mark, Luo Xun held back his smile very kindly, and said, "Go take a bath."

After boiling the salt, Jiang Tang let go of the big stone in his heart: "Okay, I'm going to take a bath." Turning around and looking at the vast lake, thinking that the big monster would appear out of nowhere, he looked at Luo Luo with a little embarrassment. Xun laughed.

Rosen said, "I'll go with you, I want to wash up too."

"Okay." Jiang Tang was very satisfied with Luo Xun's double Q. How could he be so understanding and know how to find a way for others.

The two walked along the lake for a while, found a relatively shallow place and entered the water.Although Jiang Tang could swim, he only dared to sit in the shallow water and take a bath.Lawson's injuries were not healed, and he could not touch the water, so he just sat by the water and scrubbed his body with his clothes.Cotton Candy originally followed them, but when they saw that they were all in the water, he ran back quickly. Now he was completely afraid of the water, and even yelled "cheep chirp" to warn them not to go down.

Jiang Tang looked at the marshmallow and couldn't help laughing: "I guess it will be afraid of water in the future." As a result, he washed it by himself, and suddenly remembered the sci-fi horror movie he had seen before. If the animal in the water was a tentacle-type Yes, then it doesn't matter how shallow the water he sits in is useless.As soon as this thought popped up, he couldn't suppress it any longer. Jiang Tang quickened his hands and washed it carelessly. He didn't even clean his face, so he stood up: "I've finished washing."

Luo Xun turned to look at him: "You wash your head and face again."

Jiang Tang was a little embarrassed, and wiped his face and head vigorously with his coat: "Okay, are you still okay? It's time to prepare dinner, or it will be dark."

Luo Xun said lightly: "I can't wipe my back, please help me."

Jiang Tang had no choice but to turn behind Luo Xun and wipe his back for him.Luo Xun's shoulders are very generous, and he looks very reliable. Jiang Tang feels a little relieved. If there is any danger, this man will definitely help.There was an obvious sunken scar on Luo Xun's left shoulder blade, which must have been seriously injured at the time. Jiang Tang pointed there curiously: "What's going on with you here?"

Rosen said: "The previous injury."

"Have you ever fought a war?" Jiang Tang asked.

Luo Xun gave a faint "hmm".

"you're a soldier?"

"Calculate."

Jiang Tang could already guess the other party's identity, but he didn't ask for it. Even if it was the revolutionary army, he had already boarded the other party's boat, and he had to. . "Okay, let's go." Jiang Tang wiped his back for him and threw the clothes to him.

"Thank you!" Luo Xun scrubbed the clothes in the water repeatedly, wrung them dry, and only wore a pair of wet underwear.

Jiang Tang's underwear was dry. He changed into clean underwear behind the bushes, and walked back with the washed clothes and pants: "What's for dinner?"

"The meat pie at noon is good, and the fish soup is also good," said Rosen.

"The weather is too hot, the meat in the morning is probably spoiled, so let's go fishing." Jiang Tang said.

"can."

The two men in their underwear were discussing dinner in a serious manner, and they didn't feel that it was inappropriate at all.

In the evening, they ate fish soup and sashimi, because the weather was too hot, and the grilled and fried meat was too easy to get angry.The fish in this lake is very delicious, and there are not many small thorns, no matter how you eat it, it is good.Jiang Tang thought to himself, now that there is salt, there is no need to worry about meat, and fruits can also be picked. It would be nice if there are some starchy foods, and eating meat every day will make you tired.This is the mentality of a person. When there is one, he thinks about two, and when there is two, he thinks about three. Jiang Tang feels that he is too difficult to be satisfied, and he wants to be better when he is well.

When going to bed, Luo Xun asked Jiang Tang to go to bed first, but Jiang Tang insisted on letting Luo Xun go to bed first: "You didn't sleep last night, go to bed early today. I will wake you up in the middle of the night."

Luo Xun looked at the sky: "Go to sleep first, I will wake you up at some point."

Jiang Tang looked at him and stretched his waist: "Okay, then I'll sleep first, and you must wake me up when the time comes."

Luo Xun didn't speak, walked to the campfire and sat down.Seeing that Jiang Tang was lying down, Marshmallow quickly jumped onto his stomach. Jiang Tang took it off and put it aside: "You can lie down anywhere in winter, and sleep by yourself now."

Marshmallow put one of its paws on Jiang Tang's body, and lay down next to him, flicking its big tail, looking very contented.Jiang Tang stretched out his hand to touch its small head, and looked at Luo Xun by the campfire outside. The firelight stretched his shadow very long, and then folded it on his body.He yawned and felt tired. The lakeside was very cool at night, and the night wind brought water vapor from the lake in bursts, sweeping away the heat of the day, making it especially suitable for sleeping.

The sky is still full of stars, as soft as gold-sprinkled satin.Lawson picked a leaf, put it to his mouth, tried the sound, and then began to play a tune.Just as Jiang Tang fell asleep, he heard music coming. The melody was very melodious, with a little nostalgia and melancholy. With that emotion, Jiang Tang slowly fell asleep and returned to the distant earth .Marshmallow heard the music, rolled around beside Jiang Tang, lay flat on all fours, and moved its small mouth, dreaming of something delicious.

After finishing playing a piece, Luo Xun stared at the fire in a trance.Suddenly there was a gust of wind, blowing the fire up, he stood up and looked at it, sniffled again, looked up, the stars in the sky had been hidden a lot, It seems that the weather is really going to change, and I hope it won't rain heavily.He took a look at the simple shack. Once it rained heavily, the shack might not be able to keep out the wind and rain, and they would not even have a place to sleep.

After the gust of wind, the wind became stronger, and it became tighter and tighter. The dark clouds rolled in the sky, and soon covered the originally clear sky.Not long after, the thunder and lightning began.Luo Xun took out the flashlight and put away the salt and oil first. It took Jiang Tang a lot of effort to boil it, so it shouldn't be wasted.

He hesitated whether to wake Jiang Tang up, but found that he was already up.Jiang Tang was awakened by a burst of thunder, and he sat up in shock: "What's wrong?!"

Rosen put the salt in the hut and said, "It's going to rain. Come and help us. We'll put the parachute on the roof of the hut."

"Oh, good." Jiang Tang hurriedly got up to help, and found that the wind and clouds outside had changed, and it was about to rain heavily.

The two unfolded a parachute, Jiang Tang held it up, and the tall Luo Xun laid it out, and then put tree branches on it. As soon as the spread was made, the bean-sized raindrops came unexpectedly.Jiang Tang hurriedly put away his clothes hanging outside and went into the shack, suddenly remembered something and wanted to rush out again, Luo Xun grabbed him: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Tang said, "My salt and oil."

"I took it all back, and it's over there." After speaking, he shone the flashlight into the corner.

Jiang Tang heaved a sigh of relief: "It's still you who are thoughtful. It's really strange, why it suddenly started to rain heavily."

"These two days have been unnaturally hot," Rosen said.

"I thought the weather here was like this." Jiang Tang laughed.

The two sat in the shack, listening to the raindrops "slapping" on the roof of the shed.Jiang Tang said: "Go to sleep, I will watch over."

Luo Xun lay down, raised one arm and pressed Jiang Tang down: "You should sleep too, the beast won't come out even under such a heavy rain."

Jiang Tang couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that the rain would allow them all to sleep well, which is not bad.He lay down in peace, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the shack, he couldn't help feeling a little thankful that he cleaned up the shed yesterday, barely able to keep out the wind and rain.However, he was too naive. In the middle of the night, Jiang Tang was pushed up by Luo Xun: "Jiang Tang, get up quickly, the water is coming!"
