Zhu Pingan and his three friends chose a relatively flat stone as a table, broke willow branches to use as chopsticks, picked up large shells to use as bowls, cleaned them in the stream, and then began to enjoy their first meal after being stranded on the island.
In fact, Zhu Pingan did not have much expectation on the fish soup made by Li Shu, thinking that it would be fine if it was cooked and drinkable.
After all, she was a young lady who did not dip her fingers in the water, so she could not ask for too much.
As for the fresh flavour that he had just smelled, Zhu Pingan attributed it to the fact that he was too hungry.
However, when the bun little maid brought the shell with the fish soup into Zhu Pingan’s hands, Zhu Pingan could not help but be a little surprised that the fresh scent of the fish soup had become even more intense, and this was not an illusion of his own. Moreover, just from the appearance, this fish soup is really appetising.
The colour is white like milk, fresh but not greasy, steaming hot, held in the shell is more of a visual beauty.
After Zhu Pingan received the fish soup, Li Shu turned her eyes to Zhu Pingan without a trace, like a primary school student handing over a test paper to the teacher after finishing it, waiting for the teacher to mark it.
After blowing on the hot air and feeling that it was ready to be ingested, Zhu Pingan took a small sip of it, with the mindset of testing the poison to see to what extent this dark cuisine of Li Shu’s, which appeared to be not bad on the surface, could be unpleasant to drink.
However
Never expected, just such a small mouthful, the delicious fish soup almost conquered Zhu Pingan’s taste buds, without the modification of seasoning, but maximised the most essential freshness of the fish soup, the soup was fresh and flavourful, fat but not greasy, it was really good to the extreme.
Huh?
Zhu Pingan surprised eyes wide open, this taste is really greatly out of Zhu Pingan’s expectations ……Not only is it not hard to drink, but also so good to drink, and make Zhu Pingan unexpected far more than that, this fish soup thick degree, the degree of freshness, and even the degree of colour and lustre and so on, are just right is their own preferred.
It seems, this flavour seems, a little sense of déjà vu. How do I feel that this fish soup seems to have been drunk somewhere before. Not that the fish soup flavour. Rather, it was the overall feeling of it, the inner things.
Zhu Pingan drank a mouthful and closed his eyes for a long time, there is always a feeling of déjà vu, and this feeling seems to be hovering in the mind. But it was a moment that just couldn’t be grasped, like words were on his lips but couldn’t be said.
“How does it taste?”
Seeing that Zhu Pingan had closed his eyes for a while, Li Shu couldn’t help but ask with some nervousness, after all, this was making fish soup on an island without a single piece of seasoning, without a single piece of kitchenware, it was very different from cooking before. There was still some small worry.
“Delicious.”Zhu Pingan praised from the bottom of his heart.
Upon hearing this, Li Shu looked like she had received the best reward in the world, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve slightly upwards, the corners of her eyebrows were springy, her pretty face was slightly flushed, and her body was permeated with a cheerful aura.
Without applying any powder, she was more colourful than Xizi, and more charming than Baosi.
“Of course, my young lady can ……”The bun little maid smacked the fish in her small mouth and spoke indistinctly.
“Talkative!”Li Shu twisted her head and glared at the bun little maid.
Zhu Pingan was slightly surprised. Not understanding why Li Shu reacted so agitatedly.
“Don’t talk while you’re eating the fish, so as not to get fish spines stuck in you.”Seeing that Zhu Pingan was a little surprised, Li Shu turned to the bun little maid without moving again and said, with her back to Zhu Pingan, her tone was very gentle, but her eyes were glaring hard.
The little bun maid was so glared at by her own young lady, she obediently drank the fish soup.
It turned out to be worried that the bun little maid was accidentally stuck by a fish splinter ……
This was a small episode, and Zhu Pingan didn’t take it seriously, perhaps it was because he was too hungry, Zhu Pingan drank a lot of fish soup this time.
Watching Zhu Pingan drink shell after shell. Li Shu’s big watery eyes were narrowed into a crescent shape.
This lunch, the three of them ate a lot.
After lunch, the task of finding a place to stay was on the agenda, no sleeping bag. No tent, nothing the trio had to rush to find a place to live before night, and also had to set up and pack up.
There was no finished tent, but one could be built with branches and vines. But the tent site can be carefully considered, the stream is never, if the night mountain stream water or flash floods, mudslides and so on. It is still dangerous to be by the stream, but water is the source of life, and you can’t be too far away from the stream.
You have to choose a slightly higher place with a wider view, and you should follow the principles of close to the water, leeward, sheltered, and beast-proof.
Zhu Pingan and Li Shu searched for a suitable site for the tent in the vicinity, and in the process of searching, found an unexpected surprise.
Not far from here, the three of them found a cave, the cave is on a small hill nearby, about the place where the fishermen used to rest their feet temporarily when there was no sea ban, standing at the mouth of the cave and looking out, they could see the endless sea, and the movements of the sea could be clearly seen here.
Cave is very simple, in addition to a few discarded stones and a pile of firewood, there is nothing inside, but can be seen a long time ago people have lived traces of the cave wall man-made chiseled out of a small hole, about to place things with.
With such a cave, it would save the need to put up a tent, originally all three of them were not good at putting up tents either.
With protection from the wind and rain, and a wide view, this cave was simply a gift from heaven to the trio.
Zhu Pingan used stones to build a simple stove, then took the kindling that had been protected by the stream and rekindled the fire with dry grass, putting in a few pieces of firewood from inside the cave to make the stove form a fire pit, preserving the embers and saving the effort of drilling wood for the fire every time in the future.
While Zhu Pingan was busy working on the stove, Li Shu and Baozi’s little maid picked up a lot more hay nearby, dried the hay near the stove, and then piled the hay inside the cave to make a simple bed. On the left side of the cave laid a larger one for the two of them to rest on, and on the right side laid a smaller one for Zhu Pingan to sleep on, and also used branches and creepers to weave a curtain in front of the left side of the hay bed, which became the boudoir of the two of them.
Looking at the paved hay bunk, the two girls were very accomplished, as if this hay bunk was the most comfortable bed in the world, and couldn’t wait to lie down in it.
“No peeking.”Li Shu said to Zhu Pingan before lying in.
Who cares, I’ve seen hundreds of gigabytes of small films ……Zhu Pingan skimmed his mouth, then walked out of the cave, moved a rock and placed it at the entrance of the cave, and sat on the rock.
Idle and bored, might as well practice writing.
Under the sunlight, Zhu Pingan sat on the rock, broke a branch as a brush, and practised writing on the ground.
After going through so many things, it was hard to settle down, and under relaxation the bun little maid quickly fell asleep. After the bun little maid fell asleep, Li Shu gently got up and walked out of the cave, saw Zhu Pingan who was practising his calligraphy at the entrance of the cave, and then looked at it with interest.
Zhu Pingan also noticed Li Shu, nodded slightly and continued to practise his calligraphy.
After watching for a while, as if she was tired of watching and got bored, Li Shu also folded two branches and made a mess next to Zhu Ping An, holding the branches in her two small hands and drawing a mess.
Zhu Pingan glanced at it, then was somewhat speechless.
In Zhu Pingan’s eyes, Li Shu drew a number of circles on the ground, there are big circles, there are small circles, there are single circles, there are double circles, there are half circles, there are crescent moon circles, a number of them, the sizes are all different, densely packed, there is no trace, anyway, it’s just a messy drawing of circle circles.
“Great Talent, can you tell what I wrote?”
Li Shu drew a bunch of messy drawings, then threw the tree branch to one side, a pair of big black eyes looked at Zhu Pingan, provocatively showing her little tiger teeth and asked, full of quirky air!
