The Days Of Surviving On The Desert Island With The Goddess

Chapter 37 Shark Meat



"Such a big shark is probably enough for our ration for a week."

Ye Yuqing sighed as she looked at the huge shark in front of her.

This shark is roughly estimated to be two or three hundred catties. Even if the meat is only cut off, one or two hundred catties of meat can be obtained.

"One week is definitely enough, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it."

Qin Lie smiled and said.

"What do you mean by that? Why can't you eat it?"

Ye Yuqing asked very puzzled.

"Shark meat has a smell of urine, and it's not so delicious to eat. It's hard for ordinary people to bear this smell."

Qin Lie continued.

"Ah? Really? I've eaten shark fin before, but I don't feel any strange smell."

Ye Yuqing asked in confusion.

"Sharks are different from people. They use their skin to urinate. Over the years, their meat will be full of urea, which naturally has a fishy smell, and it is difficult to remove. Therefore, after catching a shark, fishermen usually They cut off the fins and threw the sharks directly, and few people eat them."

"Like the shark's fin you said, it was dried, and the smell in it has long been removed, so it will naturally not have any strange taste."

Qin Lie quickly explained.

In their fishing village, people used to be able to catch sharks. Generally, small sharks would stay and eat, but the big sharks were thrown away because of the strong smell.

However, there are exceptions to everything. Some people like the smell of fish, but Qin Lie is definitely not one of them.

If they were at home, Qin Lie would definitely not eat shark meat, but now they are on a desert island, where food is more precious than banknotes, so Qin Lie dragged the shark to the shore.

After all, some food is better than hungry.

"As my knowledge increases, I'll say why I heard that there are very few people who eat shark fins and few people say that they eat shark meat. So that's the reason."

After hearing what Qin Lie said, a doubt that had plagued Ye Yuqing for a long time was finally resolved.

"You wait for me here for a while, and I'll go get some kelp."

After speaking to Ye Yuqing, Qin Lie dived into the sea again and brought up 20 to 30 catties of fresh kelp.

"Sister Yuqing, wash these kelp and take them back, and then you go to the pond to pick some wild grapes."

Qin Lie instructed Ye Yuqing.

"okay."

Ye Yuqing responded and started to act.

"Brother Qin, what am I doing?"

Chen Xiaoyu on the side asked.

"Don't worry, you'll have your job soon."

Qin Lie said, took out the knife and started to cut the big shark.

After a while, Qin Lie cut off pieces of shark meat.

If you smell it close, you can clearly smell a fishy smell.

"Xiaoyu, you put the meat in the sea water and squeeze and wash it repeatedly. The more times you wash it, the better, so that you can get rid of the odor in the shark meat as much as possible."

Qin Lie said to Chen Xiaoyu, and even gave Chen Xiaoyu a demonstration.

"OK."

Chen Xiaoyu responded and quickly cleaned the shark meat according to Qin Lie's instructions.

In about fifteen minutes, Qin Lie cut off most of the meat and fins from the shark, and threw the bone rack into the sea.

In order to wash the shark meat as soon as possible, he made a special trip back to the camp and called Bai Xianglan and others over.

Seeing that there is meat to eat, everyone is very diligent.

After working for more than an hour, seeing that the weather was too hot, Qin Lie asked everyone to transport the shark meat back to the camp.

At this time, Ye Yuqing also came back.

After a short rest, Qin Lie put the shark meat on the branches and roasted it on the fire.

In less than ten minutes, the first piece of shark meat was cooked.

Qin Lie quickly took out the wild grapes, squeezed out the grape juice and sprinkled it on both sides of the shark meat.

This is also done to suppress the stench as much as possible.

In fact, the best way should be to marinate it with cooking wine and various spices for a while, so that the shark meat will taste better, but now they are on a deserted island, so they can only keep things simple.

"Who wants a first bite?"

Qin Lie cut the shark meat into small pieces and looked at everyone around him with a smile.

"I'll try it, I haven't eaten shark meat yet."

Yang Yourong was eager to try.

"Okay, then you can try it first."

Qin Lie said and handed the shark meat to Yang Yourong.

Yang Yourong picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, and soon her face became very strange.

"what about the taste?"

Qin Lie asked with a smile.

"How should I put it, the taste is a bit like chicken, but it tastes weird and not very tasty."

Yang Yourong commented quickly.

"Hey, that's right."

Qin Lie smiled and put the meat on the ground for everyone to taste.

Everyone tasted a piece, but the shark meat wasn't all that good.

After all, the smell of this thing is still too strong, even if it has been cleaned many times, and Qin Lie deliberately sprinkled grape juice on it, it still can't hide the smell.

"Bah, is this horse riding for people to eat!"

After Zhao Yuming took a bite, he spit the shark meat on the ground.

"Everyone else can eat it, but you can't. Are you more honorable than others?"

Qin Lie glanced at Zhao Yuming and sneered.

Lin Qiuzhu and the others said that the shark meat was not delicious, but at least they swallowed it. Only Zhao Yuming spat out the meat, which was clearly disrespecting the fruits of his labor.

"I just told the truth, why don't people tell the truth?"

Zhao Yuming gritted his teeth and retorted unconvinced.

"If you don't want to eat it, you can continue to eat your poisonous mushrooms. Don't worry, I guarantee that no one will stop you."

The corners of Qin Lie's mouth twitched slightly, and he said mockingly.

"Zhao Yuming, don't look at what this place is, it's good to have some food, don't pick and choose."

Su Tiantian frowned and scolded.

She also disliked Zhao Yuming's fussiness. After all, they were trying to survive, not on vacation!

"Yuming, eat what you want. No matter how bad the shark meat is, it's better than an empty stomach."

Ye Yuqing followed the persuasion and said.

Although after Qin Lie's cooking, the shark still had a pungent taste, it wasn't too hard to swallow, at least she could barely eat it.

"Sister Yuqing is right, let's make do with it."

Yang Yourong and the others followed suit.

Seeing that everyone was on Qin Lie's side, Zhao Yuming was worried about causing public anger, so he could only suppress the hatred in his heart and shut his mouth.

Qin Lie smiled disdainfully, didn't talk to Zhao Yuming any more, and continued to cook those shark meat.

In addition to shark meat, Qin Lie also made a scallop and kelp soup.

The taste of this soup was much stronger than that of shark meat, and it was all drank in the blink of an eye.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Qin Lie got firewood again and smoked all the remaining shark meat.

The main purpose of this is to prolong the shelf life of shark meat as much as possible. Otherwise, on such a hot day, it is estimated that the meat will stink in one day.

"Qin Lie, do you want to change your clothes and I'll go to the beach to wash them for you?"

While Qin Lie was busy, Bai Xianglan suddenly came over and asked him a question.

"Hey, it's still our Xianglan who is sensible and knows how to do laundry for me."

Qin Lie looked at Bai Xianglan and joked with a smile.

"Bah, who is your pandan?"

Bai Xianglan rolled her eyes at Qin Lie, and Qin Lie's charming and slightly shy look instantly reacted.
