Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 20 Grilled Fish
After starting to struggle with the cooking method of the mutated fish, Chen Xuan suddenly realized a problem.

That is, whether it is steamed or braised, a pot is needed!
Where did he get the pot now?
Use an instant noodle barrel as a pot?No, that's not enough for fish.

The previously obtained bioplastics will soften after exceeding a certain temperature, so they are only suitable for boiling water, but not suitable for cooking pots.

Boil fish soup?too dull.

Right now it's better to grill.

After confirming the plan, let's do it quickly, and Chen Xuan started to deal with the fish.

First, he carefully cleaned the mutated fish with sea water to confirm that the blood was removed, and then it needed to be cleaned again with clean water.

However, seeing the limited amount of fresh water in the fresh water collector, he hesitated for a while, and still did not rinse with fresh water for a second time.

Water resources are so precious that we cannot afford such a luxury now.

In fact, after the disaster, the seawater has been diluted infinitely, and the cleanliness has become much higher.

Eating like this shouldn't be a problem.

The cleaning of the fish is done, and then some simple changes to the fish need to be made.

Chen Xuan picked up the wooden knife, and cut some light incisions on the whole fish one by one.

In this way, it is convenient to make the fire more even when grilling the fish later.

The next step is the last step of preparation, before grilling, do some simple seasoning on the raw fish.

In this step, he did not choose to use the seasoning in the instant noodles.

The main reason is that once the original plastic product such as seasoning package comes into contact with the outside world, its outer packaging will quickly decompose. At that time, he must use up the seasoning as soon as possible, and the opened instant noodles will not be able to be stored for a long time.

It's a waste to do this for a grilled fish.

You know he can't even bear to use water.

What's more, the fish in the sea itself has a slight salty taste.

Chen Xuan chose to smear the whole fish with seaweed oil only, which can make the grilled fish more fragrant.

Looking at the white and tender raw fish covered with oil and shining golden in the sun, Chen Xuan swallowed hard.

In addition, the aroma of seaweed oil was overflowing, which kept teasing his olfactory nerves. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he cut off a small piece of fish with a wooden knife and put it in his mouth.

Well, it melts in your mouth, and the seaweed oil smells so good.

Chen Xuan's taste buds were constantly secreting saliva.

And I don't know if it's because of the mutation of the fish itself, or because of the blessing of seaweed oil, the fishy smell of the fish itself is not too strong, and it can hardly be tasted.

This is much better than the salmon sashimi I ate at the Japanese grocery store before.

If there is a little seasoning, it seems that it can be made into sashimi directly.

Looks like I'll have to find a way to get some condiments.

It's a pity that although seawater can distill crystals with salt, it has too many impurities and cannot be eaten directly.How can it be purified?
A piece of sashimi went down, Chen Xuan licked his lips, and set a small goal for himself.

After the preparations were over, he still planned to make the rest of the barbecue according to the original plan.

Chen Xuan made a wooden stick to thread the fish, then held the fish in one hand and used the "flame injection module" in the other to start grilling the fish.

Looking down at the sea water overflowing the raft from time to time, Chen Xuan suddenly felt a little lucky.

That is to say, he has a system and a "flame injection module" in order to eat hot food. If it is someone else, he will not have this condition.

After the mutated fish came into contact with the fire, it made a sizzling sound.

With a few wisps of faint white smoke coming out, a smell of fish also began to permeate.

One advantage of grilled fish over sashimi is that it releases a strong fish aroma.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but think of the barbecue stalls he passed by every time he walked back to his dormitory after class in the evening, and the smell of barbecue came from them.

The fish in front of him was even better than it. It felt like he could eat a bowl of white rice just by the smell.

It's a pity where he got the white rice.

Chen Xuan sighed secretly.

Under the action of fire, the skin of the fish will soon become crispy.

Looking at the rising smoke, Chen Xuan lost consciousness for a while and fell into memories.

It was a great camping time.

That time, another guy was in charge of grilling fish for everyone.

Because that guy owns a barbecue shop at home, and he has been familiar with it since he was a child, so his grilling fish skills are top-notch, and Chen Xuan also learned grilling fish from him later.

Several brothers in the dormitory took advantage of the summer vacation to go camping in the mountains together. Everyone had a clear division of labor, some were responsible for making fire, some were responsible for fetching water, and he was assigned to set up a tent.

During the day, we hunted birds and fished together, and at night we drank beer and ate barbecue together.

Chen Xuan remembered that time he harvested the most prey, but ate the least.

But this group of guys also call it "the capable ones do more work."

There are six people in the dormitory, two of them are in Shanhai City, two are in Yuntai City, and two are in Dinghong City.

When the disaster happened, none of these guys stayed in school, but were busy looking for jobs in other cities.

"Everyone, are you all right?"

Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

After a while, the fish is grilled.

The appearance of the baked fish is golden and crisp, because the mutated fish itself is rich in oil, and with the addition of seaweed oil, the color of the whole grilled fish is very bright.

Seeing that Chen Xuan couldn't help but move his index finger, and immediately started to gobble it up.

The outer layer of the fish was bitten off by him, and the taste was not only very crispy, but also had a faint seafood taste.

Under the burnt-yellow exterior, the fish inside is white, tender, delicious and smooth.

This is the second food Chen Xuan ate after instant noodles. I don't know if it is because of the use of mutated organisms as ingredients, the taste is much better.

In such a comparison, the taste of instant noodles suddenly seemed a little bland.

Alas, people are so easy to love the new and dislike the old.

Yesterday, instant noodles were still the most delicious food in his heart, but today they can only be ranked second.

After eating the grilled fish, Chen Xuan felt a little hot in his body, but this was not due to the rising sea temperature.

In fact, the hottest noon has passed, and the temperature has dropped a little.

This dry heat is overflowing from his stomach, and it is slowly spreading to his limbs.

Moreover, the hotness is still getting worse, and he feels as if he has drunk a large bottle of strong wine now.

The blood flow quickens, the heart beats violently.

Chen Xuan could only sit with his back against the mast and let the sea breeze blow over his body to relieve the heat.

Fortunately, the dry heat didn't last long and dissipated quickly.

Chen Xuan closed his eyes and seriously felt the changes in his body.

His body seemed to become a little stronger.

Obviously, this is the energy contained in the big meal just now playing a role.

I just don't know whether the energy is mainly provided by seaweed oil or mutated fish.

But in any case, this proved that his previous conjecture was correct.

The energy of these creatures can really help him achieve evolution.

And if he eats mutated fish regularly, then he should gradually increase his evolution level.

Chen Xuan looked at the bottomless depths of the ocean.

It is not known how many mutated creatures are still waiting to be discovered.

A broad avenue of evolution seemed to be opened in front of him.
