Living alone in the wilderness: you call this survival?

Chapter 56 What to do with picky eaters

Xu Mo went back to the house and put the wolf fur that was used as a pillow on his waist, then went shirtless to wash by the lake.

The first thing after returning home is to take out the sausages and bacon to dry, and the sun has already risen after finishing these.

He washed his hands and started preparing breakfast.

Yesterday there was a fresh rabbit, and two more snakes were killed, and we made soup together.

A meal is about three or four catties, which is his normal food intake now.

There are still 6 attribute points that have not been added, and his appetite will be further increased if added.

After breakfast, check the traps as usual.

Today's trap brought him two grouse, which was not bad.

After Xu Mo returned to the camp, he bound the grouse and threw it into the shelter, then dragged two wolf carcasses to the lake to clean them up.

Cleaning is also simple, peel the skin, remove the internal organs, and unload the meat along the joints.

But this kind of work not only consumes physical strength, but also consumes time.

After the two wolves cleaned up, it was already noon.

Still the same, the divided wolf meat is smoked on the grill.

He only took one of the two sets of viscera, and the rest was full of bat feces, and he left it by the lake, planning to make it into bait for fishing in the afternoon.

This time, four grills were used to meet the requirements of simultaneous smoking.

The camp was smoky and choking.

Xu Mo held his nose and hung the washed wolf fur on the tree to dry. This thing had a strong fishy smell, and it took several days of drying to effectively get rid of the smell.

After hanging up, it's time to prepare lunch.

Take out the wolf viscera left over, take out the kidneys, wolf heart, and wolf treasures, add up to four catties, and add some wild vegetables to stew in one pot.

Stewed dishes are very simple, use some deer oil to moisten the pot, fry the ingredients until they are raw, then add dark soy sauce to color, wait for the ingredients to become soy sauce color, start seasoning, two spoons of salt, half a spoon of monosodium glutamate, two spoons of chicken essence, thirteen A little fragrant, a little oyster sauce to increase freshness, add water to submerge the ingredients, cover with big leaves and simmer.

A few minutes before serving, add the wild vegetables to boil, and a pot of delicious chowder is ready.

The wolf's internal organs still had wolf lungs and intestines, and he didn't plan to take these things, because it would be very troublesome to clean them up.

After eating, Xu Mo carried the unprocessed viscera to the lake, looking for a suitable fishing spot.

He has no fishing tools and can only use the most primitive methods.

Often the simplest techniques are the most practical.

Carrying two sets of internal organs, he came to the lake beach where he met the juvenile grizzly bear for the first time.

This lake beach is very wide, and the lake water changes from shallow to deep. It is a very good fishing spot.

Xu Mo dropped his internal organs and went down to the lake to measure the water depth.

Walking thirteen steps from the lake beach to the center of the lake, the water is just below the knees, the water depth is just right, and it is meaningless to go any further.

He looked back to estimate the distance, which was about ten meters, and placed stones in an arc to the shore at this distance to circle a water area, and completed a traditional fishing trap.

Xu Mo went back to the lake beach to carry stones. There was no skill in this kind of work, just work hard.

The only thing to pay attention to is that it is best to pile the stones out of the water, so as to minimize the possibility of fish escaping.

This kind of trap is effective for a long time, so the stronger the arrangement, the better.

It wasn't until the sun tilted that he used stones to create an arc more than 20 meters long.

At the deepest point, a gap of more than one meter was left as the entrance to the trap.

Along the gap, he made a deep V entrance, the narrowest point is only about [-] centimeters. This funnel-shaped entrance is easy to enter and difficult to exit, and can effectively trap intruding fish.

At this point, a traditional fishing trap is completed.

Counting more than 20 land traps, he has now realized the survival rule of relying on mountains to eat mountains, and relying on water to eat water.

Xu Mo threw all the internal organs of the wolf into the trap, turned around and returned to the camp.

The offal has a strong fishy smell and is very attractive to fish, and it can be used for a long time. In the following days, just check the harvest every day.

When we got back to the camp, it was almost time for dinner.

There are also two grouse in the wooden house, just slaughtered and stewed with dragon and phoenix soup.

When dealing with grouse and snakes, Xu Mo suddenly realized that he seemed to be a bit picky.

I don’t feel it when there is no food, but it comes out when there is a lot of food. This is probably human nature.

Speaking of people, is he still a person now?
Regardless of whether it is human or not, it stands to reason that bacon should be eaten first. The grouse is alive, so it is no problem to let it sit for a few days.

But I just can't help but want to eat fresh, yes, bacon, dried meat, firewood, if it is not for storage, who would like to eat this stuff for a long time?

Venison was better, but the thought of wolf meat gave him a headache.

Wolf meat is the last thing he wants to eat, but the quantity is the most. If he doesn't eat it, it will inevitably be wasted. Once it is wasted, the cliff will be sprayed to death.

It seems that we need to get less food in the future, otherwise too much food will be a troublesome thing.

Xu Mo sighed and returned to the camp to cook dragon and phoenix soup.

After dinner, collect sausages and bacon, and then go to bed early.

These few days, he didn't plan to go out to die, but was going to build a warehouse to store food.

Also, it was getting cold, so I had to build a fireplace in the shelter, so that I could keep warm and cook in the room.

When it comes to cooking, we have to build a special shed to store firewood, otherwise it will be difficult to find firewood when the mountains are covered by heavy snow.

Winter in the Arctic is no joke. If you are not well prepared, you will not survive it.

Xu Mo planned the future and fell asleep unknowingly.

The next day, it was just dawn.

Xu Mo got up early, washed up, and went to check the trap as usual.

Today's luck is also very good, and there are two more grouse.

After removing the grouse and restoring the traps, head to the beach to check out the catch.

Before he got close to the water, he saw splashes in the shallow water.

It has to be said that his luck is very good, and it is also inseparable from the rich resources here.

Xu Mo went into the water and looked. Under the internal organs of the floating wolf, there were three big fish, each weighing less than three catties.

He only took one, cleaned it up on the spot and returned to the camp.

Water traps are also considered natural warehouses, so there is no need to take them all out at once. After eating enough bacon, he doesn't want to eat smoked fish anymore.

Back at camp, light a fire and cook.

Of course, the breakfast is fish. He chose to steam it, which is light and can keep the original umami taste of the fish to the greatest extent.

For this reason, he specially made a wooden board for holding fish. Fortunately, the box pot is also rectangular, and the size is just right.

Put some wooden sticks in the pot as supports, then add water, and finally put the wooden boards on the wooden sticks, ignite the fire to boil out steam, cover with big leaves and wait for it to be steamed.

While waiting, he started seasoning again.

He didn't bring steamed fish companion steamed fish with soy sauce, but he can make a simple version with light soy sauce.

Dilute light soy sauce and a little salt with water, it is not only simple but also tastes good.

A simple meal has become the ceiling level of living alone in the wilderness.

　Thank you for the rewards of the cute pets and beasts, and thank you for the rewards of people, gods, immortals, demons, demons, and ghosts.
