When the fire was lit, Xiao Yishu began to peel half of the banana leaf impatiently and roast it on the stones on the fire.
Sometimes he went to watch Actor Gu killing a chicken, sometimes he went to watch Luffy and the others washing crabs, and sometimes he turned back to look at Basho on the fire.
"Teacher Gu, do you know how to kill a chicken? This chicken doesn't look very fat!"
Xiao Yishu squatted beside Actor Gu and tilted his head, watching Actor Gu pluck all the feathers off the chicken skillfully.
He realized that the chicken was quite thin even after taking off its clothes. He began to worry, wondering if it would be enough for so many people to eat.
"This is already quite fat. It must weigh at least two or three pounds when held in your hand! But it's enough for a good meal!"
"That's good. I was just worried that there wouldn't be enough food for us because there are so many of us!"
Xiao Yishu stared at the plucked chicken for a long time before speaking, until he saw Gu Yingdi cut the chicken into five pieces and put it into the big iron pot. It was stirred a few times by the spatula and then submerged in clean water.
After that, he went to Luffy's place to look at the crabs, which were in a plastic basket. Actually, it's not accurate to say "basket", it should be in a plastic box.
The crabs are happily circling around the plastic box because they are trying to find a way to escape. They are running around inside, hoping to get out.
I also have to go back from time to time to check on his banana and see how he did in the exam.
For a moment, it was extremely busy, like a hardworking little bee, busy collecting honey everywhere.
It is also like a happy little bird flying freely in the sky.
"Look at how much food we have. We can't eat it all at once, but it's hot now and it's hard to preserve it!"
At this time, actress Lou showed her characteristics as a middle-aged woman and was thrifty.
"These things are hard to preserve, so let's have chicken stewed with mushrooms for lunch and crabs for dinner. It's a good time to keep them. There's a lot of dirt on them.
Let’s save the eggs for tomorrow morning!
"Let's take a break this afternoon and then go out together to see if we can get anything else?" said Emperor Gu.
They did it right away, and soon the chicken in the big iron pot was stewed.
Xiao Yishu kept circling around the iron pot, his eyes never leaving the boiling soup in the pot, as if he couldn't wait to eat it, and he wrinkled his nose and sniffed the air.
"It smells so good! When can I eat it?"
"Brother, your roasted plantains are ready!" Alina's shout drew his gaze back to the pot.
The fire for roasting bananas was right next to the big iron pot. In the morning, actress Lou brought two other girls to not only pick up branches but also move a lot of stones over, just enough to build a stove and a big iron pot.
So they built another smaller fire and placed a frame made of sticks on top of it.
It is just right for grilling things. Now, in addition to grilling bananas, I also grilled a few crabs.
Since his attention was always on the chicken, he no longer paid attention to his banana.
"Really? Can I eat now?
What is this? Why is it so black? "
When Xiao Yishu heard this, he immediately ran over and asked uncertainly at the black thing in front of him.
"This is roasted banana. Maybe it took a little too long to roast it?" Alina said hesitantly.
"Can this still be eaten?" Xiao Yishu looked at the black mass, and the freshness he had just felt was gone.
"It's edible and the inside isn't burnt black. I can eat it later. It's too hot now!" Alina said.
The fire was burning fiercely, and on the stones were placed the bananas that Xiao Yishu had painstakingly carried down from the mountain. Just by getting close to the fire, he could feel the heat wave on his face, and sweat began to appear on his head.
"Oh, okay!" He was a little hungry, so he started to guard the black banana again, not wanting to miss the chicken stewed with mushrooms for the time being.
"Wow, it's still so hot!" Just when the exchange couldn't wait to taste the roasted bananas, he reached out to touch the black bananas and was inevitably burned again.
He placed the tips of his right fingers against his lips and blew hard, hoping that the air would relieve the burning sensation on his fingers.
The little cheeks are puffy and look very cute.
The green aroma of roasted bananas lingered at the tip of his nose. His nose was moving vigorously in the air, making him want to reach out and pick one up.
However, as soon as I touched the hot surface, I instantly felt the burning pain and my fingers loosened involuntarily.
He was not afraid of the risk of being burned and worked tirelessly, and finally succeeded in getting one. It looked black, and he kept changing the position between his two hands to avoid being burned by prolonged contact.
When he came over, he finally felt the temperature from his fingertips getting a little lower, and he began to peel the banana skin impatiently.
The aroma of roasted plantains filled his nose, and he couldn't wait to take a bite.
"Little brother, don't eat it yet, it's very hot..." Anlina noticed him and was about to bite it, so she quickly spoke out to stop him.
However, it was still a step too late. The hot juice overflowed instantly, scalding Xiao Yishu so much that he quickly spat out the banana in his mouth and threw the rest in his hand back onto the stone, groaning in pain.
The heat made his forehead sweat, and he could only fan himself with his hands to cool down, making "hissing" sounds from his mouth from time to time.
"Water, water, where is the water?" He was in a panic, looking for water everywhere. However, he forgot that there was no water when they came up the mountain, only the pool water in the mountain.
"We don't have any water. We can't drink the water in the pond directly. Let's eat some banana hearts to relieve the pain."
Seeing him like this, Luffy hurried over and broke off a piece of the freshly peeled banana heart and handed it to him.
"Thanks!"
Xiao Yishu said thank you in a slurred voice, took the banana heart and took two bites. It tasted sweet, a little astringent, and a little bitter.
In some ways, it tastes similar to an unripe banana or green bean, but is more tender and easier to eat.
He chewed it with great effort twice, but it didn't relieve the pain in his mouth, so he still wanted to drink some water.
He didn't care about anything else and ran directly to the staff of the program group. Looking pitiful, he asked for half a bottle of ice water from the staff. He gulped down a few sips to relieve the burning sensation in his mouth.
"Ah, I'm finally feeling better!" Xiao Yishu sighed. After all this ordeal, he was sweating all over.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, crystal clear, sparkling like pearls.
The hot sun shone on his body, and sweat dripped down his cheeks, making his gorgeous face even more charming.
His forehead was slightly red, and sweat slid down from his hairline, then along his collarbone and into his collar.
His skin looked smoother and more delicate because of the moisture of sweat, as if water could drip off it.
Because he had just drunk water, his lips were noticeably moister, which highlighted his slightly open mouth, giving off a healthy vitality and charming temptation.
(I have something going on at home these past two days, so I will resume posting twice a day tomorrow!)
