Wuchen had been watching Lin Xi's movements from the side, and soon, he also figured out how to do this thing.So he went and took out four wooden sticks, took them to a place not far from Lin Xi, and then took out a handful of the rope in front of Lin Xi, squatted on the ground, and tried to tie the second net.It's very fast for two people to do this together!
Before the sun went down, Lin Xi and Wuchen finally drove out six nets of the same size.Lin Xi tied six nets together in pairs and made three large nets.Then tie three two-meter-long wooden sticks into a triangle and make it into the net, and then tie three large nets to the three wooden sticks respectively, and then tie the three nets together thinly, a somewhat large triangular fishing net, and it is completely made!
Lin Xi can't wait to try it with a fishing net!
She asked Wuchen to take the fishing net to the river first, and she went back to the cave to get a basket to be used to load the fish later.When they reached the river, they saw Wuchen standing in the river, trying to put the fishing net into the river.The fishing net made by Lin Xi is not the kind of big net that is sprinkled into the river, but the usage of asking people to take the net, walk around the river, and put the net in.Wuchen seems to have found a way to use fishing nets in the water, but he hasn't thought of the more important tricks yet.It's evening, and the fish in the river are pouring up to the surface to breathe, and if you walk a few steps along the river, you can see a dense school of fish.Because the orcs rarely eat fish, the number of fish in this river is not small, and after just a while, Wuchen just tried it himself, and there were more than a dozen of them on the Internet!
Unfortunately, none of the fish in this river are very large.Lin Xi looked at it, the bigger ones were only about three catties, not much, but more of them were one or two catties of small fish!
But Lin Xi is already very satisfied!
She can finally change her tastes!
During this time, she has been trying her best to change the taste of the food with the existing ingredients, but at present, there are only so many kinds of foods that she often eats, and she is really tired of eating!
In this season, the water in the river is very cold, Lin Xi has not entered the water, but Wuchen is not afraid of this water temperature.After Lin Xi told him how to use the fishing net, he studied it by himself at the water's edge for a while, and after a short time, he dragged the fishing net into the water.Lin Xi stood by the river and watched Wuchen drag the fishing net through the water.The clear water of the river became turbid with violent movements, and the quiet banks of the river were gradually filled with a bunch of live fish.Lin Xi hurriedly found a stone, smashed the fish on the ground one by one, and piled them together.Seeing that it was almost over, she stopped Wuchen and let him come up from the water.The sun is already setting in the west, and the orcs who have gone out are coming back soon, and they come here to fetch water when they are ready for dinner.Although as a wise man, Lin Xi would eventually tell them how to make fishing nets, but that was not now.She still wants them to focus on stockpiling food for the winter first, so she won't teach them anything new for the time being.Wuchen caught a total of seven nets, of course, not all of them could be caught, but overall, Lin Xi was very satisfied.No matter how you say these fish, there can be a hundred or ten catties, if only Wuchen eats it himself, it will be enough for him to eat two meals!
What surprised Lin Xi even more was that in addition to the fish, there were actually more than a dozen river mussels and a small handful of river shrimp hanging in the fishing net!
And even these things!
You must know that before this, Lin Xi had given up the illusion that he could still eat other river fresh food except fish!
After all, she had been to the river so many times, and had also picked up the cracks in the stones by the river, but she had never seen a single river shrimp or mussel.She looked at the river mussels with two palm-sized hands, and suddenly thought, I wonder if there will be snails in this river?
Maybe when she has time, she should look up and down the riverbank.Lin Xi thought as he put the pile of dead and warped fish in front of him into the back basket.Nearly 100 catties of fish, the back basket could not be loaded once, and it took three times to come back and load it three times before it was all loaded.Of course, this kind of hard work is still done by Wuchen.After carrying the fish back to the cave, Lin Xi first asked Wuchen to light a fire in the fireplace, and then sat down in a pot of water.And she quickly processed more than 20 fish!
She plans to make dinner first and then dispose of the remaining fish that she will not eat for a while.Because Wuchen never ate fish in the past, Lin Xi wasn't sure if the fish Wuchen she made this time would eat it, so today she only planned to make a little less to see how Wuchen accepted it.If Wuchen still doesn't like the fish with seasonings, then she will only make what she likes when making fish in the future!
Wuchen had already lit a fire under the stove, Lin Xi brushed the husk pot, and after the water inside was dry, he scooped a spoonful of oil and put two salty stones in it at the same time.To make fish, heat the oil in the pan, and sprinkle salt on the edge of the pan after the oil is hot, so that the fish will not be stained with the skin.And now, although I don't know if it will have the same effect if I put salty stones in the oil in advance and fry it, but it's better than nothing!
Lin Xi waited until the oil was hot, first used chopsticks to pick out the salty stones that were in the way, and then used a shovel to splash the hot oil on the four sides of the pot, hoping to stir the salt in the oil a little.Then she picked up a fish that had been cleaned, pinched the tail and slowly put it into the pot!
The sound of hot fried meat sounded in the kitchen, and Lin Xi quickly put the remaining two into it.After waiting for a while, she felt that it was almost over, and she turned the three fish over one by one.A large chunk of the fish skin still fell off!
Lin Xi sighed, but there was no salt powder, and there was no way.When all three fish have been turned over, she scoops hot water from the pot of husks boiling water by the fireplace, pours it into the pot, then closes the lid and begins to stew!
Just simmer the fish soup slowly!
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xi processed the river mussels and shrimps.She plans to put the shrimp in the fish soup and the mussels to be roasted and eaten.These two things are even more difficult to keep, and she still doesn't dare to keep them for too long.Then she started making grilled fish.The remaining dozen or so fish, she had already salted in advance, which would be skewered with branches, and the meat of the beast that had been marinated together would be roasted in the fireplace.When Lin Xi built the stove, there was no place to build a barbecue in the cave, mainly because the smoke was also large, and if he dug an oven on the stone wall, it was not much different from the fireplace.Anyway, all the firewood was burned, so she simply used the fireplace as an oven.The aroma, which was different from the previous food, gradually permeated the entire cave, and because of the anticipation, Lin Xi's stomach screamed uncontrollably.But I didn't expect her to be the only one whose stomach was screaming.She turned her head to look at Wuchen sitting in front of the stove and couldn't help but smile.At this time, Wuchen looked expectant, and his thick black tail was dangling back and forth restlessly behind him.
