Food King [Interstellar]

Chapter 14 Stewed Chicken

Jiang Tang, who was still awake, jumped up suddenly, and found that he was already lying in the water. Because he was separated by the waterproof parachute cloth, he didn't feel it yet.He looked at his situation: "Oh my god, where did this water come from? The lake has risen?"

Luo Xun said: "The water in the lake hasn't risen yet, but the water in the forest has washed down."

Only then did Jiang Tang discover that, except for the place where they stood, everything around them had become a water world, and the rain had turned into a torrential downpour, and the place illuminated by the flashlight was all white. Waterfall, Jiang Tang has never seen such heavy rain in two lifetimes.The water washed down from the top of the feet was soon flooded, and the cotton candy quickly jumped onto Jiang Tang's shoulders. Jiang Tang quickly bent down to pick up the salt basin, and looked at the jar of oil, unable to take it: "You Do you think we are safe here?"

Luo Xun looked at it and said, "It's hard to say, we have to go up. You step aside, and go up with this parachute first." He pulled out the parachute on the ground, wrung out the water, shook it off, and put Jiang Tang on it. , and bent down to carry the oil basin.

Jiang Tang looked at the pot of oil: "I don't need the oil, pour it out, I'll refine it at worst. Put away all the containers first, and don't wash them into the lake."

Luo Xun said, "Understood. I'll take you to the woods first."

Jiang Tang held the salt in one hand and the parachute in the other.Luo Xun hung the first aid kit on his shoulder, took a flashlight, sent Jiang Tang up, gave the first aid kit to Jiang Tang, and then turned back to pack his things.Jiang Tang suddenly remembered that he was still injured, so he said loudly: "Luo Xun, you come back! I will collect it. You are still injured."

Luo Xun also replied loudly: "It's okay, my injury is already healed." After speaking, he turned around and went down.

It was raining heavily, and I could only hear the sound of "哗哗", and the two of them shouted when they talked, otherwise they couldn't hear what the other was saying.Jiang Tang had no choice but to stand in the rain with his parachute on his head, watching Luo Xun's faint light flickering in the darkness. After a while, the light moved towards him.Rosen put another parachute on his head and came up with a pile of pots and pans.Jiang Tang knew how embarrassed he was when he looked at him. He originally thought that life on this unknown planet was not too difficult. There was food, drink, and company. It seemed that he didn’t lack anything. He was so naive, a rainstorm knocked him back to his original state of having nothing.

The two of them just put on the parachute cloth and guarded a pile of tattered belongings. They stood in the heavy rain all night until dawn. Jiang Tang was so sleepy that he fell asleep standing up. He almost fell to the ground and was caught by Luo Xun With a quick eye, he quickly grabbed his hand, and pointed to his shoulder: "Sleep on me."

Jiang Tang was so embarrassed that he fell asleep. The one who was really tired was Luo Xun. He slept less than himself last night. He stretched out his hand and wiped his face: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy." He looked Under the endless rain, he suddenly said with emotion, "It would be great if I could have a house."

Luo Xun listened, but did not make a sound.

After dawn, the rain finally thinned. Jiang Tang looked at the lake under his feet. After a night of heavy rain, the water level of the lake had risen by at least one meter, and the water surface was half clear and half muddy. Fortunately, they came in the morning, and the lower half of the hut was completely was submerged in water.

Jiang Tang couldn't help being speechless: "My God! I've never seen such a heavy rain. The lake has grown so much overnight."

Rosen said: "This is fairly normal. Some planets are even more exaggerated, and they will go down endlessly, almost for several months."

Jiang Tang's scalp tingled when he heard it, it doesn't rain like that here.Fortunately, as the sky brightened, there was also the sky. The dark clouds chased each other, as if being summoned by someone, the blue sky began to appear, the rain stopped, and the morning sun poked its head out from the sky, covering the dark clouds. After arriving in Phnom Penh, everything was so serene and peaceful, as if the storm last night was an illusion.Jiang Tang opened the parachute that was covering his body, and a gust of wind blew, he couldn't help shivering, and then sneezed loudly.

Luo Xun dug out the clothes of the two of them from the first aid kit: "Put them on quickly, don't catch a cold."

Looking at the dry coat, Jiang Tang couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The clothes aren't wet yet?"

Luo Xun hummed, put on his jacket, then slightly turned Jiang Tang's back, took off his wet underwear, and put on his trousers. Jiang Tang looked at his movements and was a little embarrassed, he was so casual. Xiao Jie, quickly turned his face away, he has no preference for men.Luo Xun put on his clothes and frowned at Jiang Tang: "Why don't you put them on yet? Put them on quickly, don't catch a cold."

Jiang Tang had no choice but to turn his back, took off his underwear, and put on long trousers.Luo Xun was not as conscious as he was, and glanced at Jiang Tang's naked|naked body generously.

Jiang Tang sniffed, rolled up his trouser legs, and tried not to let his trousers get wet again: "I have to find a way to start a fire." He went to the forest to pick up branches, and then suddenly remembered something, "Marshmallow What about it?" Marshmallow was still with him when he came out of the shack last night, but after it rained too much, he forgot about it, and he didn't know where he went.

"I didn't see it," said Rosen.

"Marshmallow, cotton candy!" Jiang Tang called out loudly.

After a while, the marshmallow began to respond with "cheep chirp chirp". Jiang Tang followed the sound and saw that the marshmallow was coming out of a tree hole. It stopped and yawned lazily. It seemed that it had just woken up from sleep. , when it saw Jiang Tang, it jumped up and landed on his shoulder, leaving two mud paw prints on it.

Jiang Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rubbed the marshmallow with his cheek.Its hair was extremely dry, and it didn't look wet at all. Jiang Tang laughed and reached out to touch its neck: "Good guy, you still know how to find a place to shelter from the rain. You're so smart."

Luo Xun walked to the tree hole that Cotton Candy had climbed out just now. It was so dark inside that he couldn't see anything. He took a flashlight and shone inside.Jiang Tang asked him, "What are you doing?"

Lawson replied: "I'll find you some dry leaves to light the fire." Although they have a little alcohol, but the amount is so small, save some if you can.With the light of the flashlight, Luo Xun saw clearly the scene in the tree hole. It was not deep inside, and it was very dry. There were indeed some dry leaves. He reached out to touch the leaves, but he couldn't reach them. He stood up, rolled up his trouser legs, He rolled up to his knees, then knelt down, bent again to touch the leaves, and quickly grabbed a handful of dry leaves.

"It's really there, that's great." The long hands are so good, Jiang Tang turned around silently, set up the branches he picked up, and didn't let himself get entangled in this problem, and then stuffed the dry leaves that Luo Xun grabbed. Under the pyre, it was carefully lit and cared for, and finally the fire was successfully lit.The firewood is not afraid of being wet, as long as there is fire, it can dry and burn.

Jiang Tang heated up the fire, and held the fire with Luo Xun for a while, and finally warmed up.Jiang Tang looked at the muddy lake surface: "The water is dirty and can't be drunk anymore. Let's find some fruit to eat today."

Luo Xun took the laser gun: "Then I'll go find something to eat."

Jiang Tang shook out the parachute and propped it up on a branch to dry. He looked around the environment, trying to find something to eat.

The marshmallow suddenly called out "cheep chirp chirp", Jiang Tang was attracted by its cry, and hurried over, only to see the marshmallow scratching something on the ground. grass shrubs.Jiang Tang squatted down and saw that it was a heavy rain last night, which washed away the leaves, and exposed the roots of some plants that were hidden under the leaves. Marshmallow was digging the roots of a plant at the moment.Jiang Tang hurriedly helped dig it up, and finally dug out a plant tuber, which was as big as two of his fists. Jiang Tang was happy: "Marshmallow, can this be eaten?"

Marshmallow scratched the tuber with its muddy paws, trying to find a place for the mouth. Jiang Tang took the tuber into a puddle and washed it clean. It was a brown tuber, a bit like a sweet potato, and he pinched it with his nails. The skin peeled off a little, and the light yellow flesh was exposed inside.Marshmallow stood on tiptoe impatiently, wanting to taste its taste, Jiang Tang brought it to Marshmallow's mouth, it opened its mouth and took a bite, but didn't spit it out, so it was edible.

Jiang Tang also took a piece and put it in his mouth. It tasted slightly sweet, but it was a bit hard, a bit like raw sweet potatoes.He gave the tuber in his hand to Marshmallow, and then quickly searched for the same kind of plant next to it, and soon found the second one. He quickly dug it down with a branch and found the second one.Jiang Tang was so happy, what does it mean that God closes a door and opens another window for you, this is it!

When Luo Xun came back, Jiang Tang had already washed the three tubers he had dug up, squatting by the fire and thinking about how to eat them, raw or roasted?It is temporarily impossible to cook and eat. The water is too dirty to cook.

Luo Xun stepped on a branch and made a sound. Jiang Tang raised his head and looked at Luo Xun: "You're back. Did you still catch the prey?" Luo Xun held a colorful bird in one hand and a bunch of fruits in the other.

"Well, I happened to meet, so I called back." Luo Xun threw the bird on the ground, and put the fruit in a basin so as not to get dirty.

Jiang Tang touched his chin, how should he eat?With a sudden clap of hands, there was: "Luo Xun, help me go to the lake and pick some leaves, just the kind I usually pick, and they should be cleaner."

He took the bird that Luo Xun had hunted, and found that it should be a pheasant. It is so fat that it cannot fly at all.He stripped the hair clean, cut open the stomach, took out the internal organs and threw them away, chopped off the head, and then rubbed the inside out with salt.I wrapped several layers of leaves picked by Lawson, and then dug a mass of wet mud, kneaded the mud and pasted it on the outside of the leaves, then carefully pushed aside the fire, and put the muddy chicken into the fire. In the heap, put two of the tubers in it, set the fire up again, and start to burn.

Luo Xun looked at him without saying a word. Even if there was no water, Jiang Tang seemed to have a way to make delicious food.

Jiang Tang peeled off the remaining tuber with a knife, and then cut off a piece: "Taste it."

Luo Xun took it and took a bite. It was a bit hard and a little bit sloppy. The taste was not very good, and it was barely edible.Jiang Tang took the remaining half and took a bite: "This thing has a lot of starch, I think there are still a lot over there, and it can be used as a staple food in the future."

After eating the tubers and two more fruits, Luo Xun got up to gather firewood.

Jiang Tang burned the fire for a long time, turned over the food in the fire pile several times, and finally smelled the aroma of the food. He pulled out the tuber from the fire pile first, and the shell was already burnt.When it was a little cooler, he picked one up, tore off the skin, and a tempting scent of cooked food wafted out. He ate a little, and the taste was very good, a bit like roasted sweet potatoes. "Roson, it's time to eat."

Luo Xun, who was collecting firewood, came back with the firewood in his arms. He washed his hands, sat by the fire, picked up another baked sweet potato, and started to eat breakfast.Seeing that they were all starting to eat the marshmallow, he hurried over and hugged Jiang Tang's ankle, raised his head and yelled "chi chi chi chi" to eat it too.Jiang Tang squeezed half of his own and put it in front of the marshmallow: "Thanks to you today, I'll bake you one at noon."

Seeing that there was only half of him left, Luo Xun said, "Shall I give you some?"

Jiang Tang waved his hand: "No, I've had enough, there's a lot of it, and there will be roast chicken in a while."

Luo Xun raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and ate the roasted sweet potato in his hand with big mouthfuls.After Jiang Tang finished eating the roasted sweet potatoes, he pulled out the grilled chicken steak from the fire, and used a stick to break open the hard-crusted dirt on the outside. The sweet potato came to the side of the meat quickly, and couldn't help twitching its little nose.

Jiang Tang pointed at its small head and pushed it away: "You glutton, wait a minute." He peeled off the outer leaves layer by layer, finally revealing the bright yellow roast chicken.Because the pheasant is tightly wrapped by leaves and mud, the essence of the pheasant has not been lost at all under the high-temperature roasting, and its own fat and soup can be seen flowing on the meat. Jiang Tang tore off a chicken leg, first It was handed to Luo Xun: "Try it." The tone was a bit like asking for credit.

Luo Xun looked at him like a bragging child: "Eat first, I haven't finished eating yet."

Seeing that he refused to take it, Jiang Tang took a bite himself. The meat was smooth and tender, soft and delicious, juicy and delicious, it was the best in the world!Jiang Tang laughed "hehehehe" and took another bite, then handed the remaining chicken leg to Marshmallow, whose eyes were bulging: "This is yours." Marshmallow got half a chicken leg, happy The big tail started to shake again, and let out an exclamation of satisfaction in a "chichi".

Seeing Jiang Tang smiling so happily, Luo Xun couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Is it delicious?"

Jiang Tang smiled "hehe" and said, "You'll know if you try it." After finishing speaking, he tore off a chicken wing and gnawed on it without calling Luo Xun.

Luo Xun still had half of the roasted sweet potatoes left in his hand. Hearing this, he dubiously tore a chicken wing and put it in his mouth. Once he ate it, he regretted it. He should finish the roasted sweet potatoes before eating meat. Now After eating meat, why would you want to eat anything else? Isn't this a waste of food?

Jiang Tang and Luo Xun, you and I, quickly divided the whole chicken into sevens and eights, and no one moved the remaining chicken leg. Jiang Tang looked at Luo Xun: "Why don't you eat your chicken?" Chicken legs, keep grabbing meat from me?"

Rosen said, "I'll give you the chicken leg."

Jiang Tang licked his lips and said with a smile, "That's so embarrassing."

Marshmallow jumped vigorously, and slapped the only chicken leg left in Jiang Tang's hand to the ground.Jiang Tang and Luo Xun: "..." In the end, Jiang Tang couldn't help but reached out and flicked Marshmallow's head: "It's cheap for you, little rascal."

Luo Xun couldn't help laughing: "I'll hunt some more next time."

"Well, the more the better!" Jiang Tang licked his lips eagerly, it was really delicious.
