Chapter 21: A Sumptuous Dinner

One of the two iron sheets was shaped like a kitchen knife, and the other was similar to a thin axe blade. To save time, Chu Yang didn't alter their shapes.

On this deserted island without forging tools, Chu Yang could only use stones.

After hundreds of hammer strikes, a sharp kitchen knife-shaped tool took shape.

"Hahaha, with this sharp tool, we can finally eat meat tonight, and it will be much more convenient in the future!" Looking at the makeshift kitchen knife, Chu Yang smiled very satisfiedly.

Even though it looked a bit ugly, its sharpness was by no means a problem.

"It's unexpected that you, a country bumpkin, know so much. You can actually make a simple kitchen knife out of a useless piece," Jolin, who had been watching Chu Yang busily, was somewhat surprised when she saw the simple kitchen knife in Chu Yang's hand.

Hearing Jolin's words, Chu Yang imitated Liu Qing and gave her a roll of his eyes: "If it weren't for this country bumpkin, you'd starve to death on this deserted island."

Chu Yang really couldn't stand Jolin's haughty attitude as a rich young lady.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone on this deserted island with her. There were also Liu Qing and Xu Qing. Thinking of this, Chu Yang felt much more comforted.

"Hmph, you dare speak to me like this. It's just some stinky fish and shrimp you've eaten. When we leave this deserted island, no matter how much money you want, I'll compensate you," Jolin's rich girl temper flared up again at Chu Yang's defiance.

"New rich!" Chu Yang glanced at Jolin.

"You..." Jolin was both angry and anxious, but she was helpless against Chu Yang on this deserted island and could only vent her anger on a pile of dry vegetables in front of her.

After scattering the pile of dry firewood all over the ground, Jolin finally felt a bit relieved.

Her gaze fell on Chu Yang again.

But this time, Jolin didn't continue to get angry. Instead, she began to size Chu Yang up carefully from head to toe: "Mr. Chu, have we met somewhere before?"

"Huh?" Chu Yang was startled by Jolin's words.

In his heart, he secretly wondered if she had recognized him.

Where had she discovered the clue just now?

However, Chu Yang quickly shook his head. If she really recognized him, she wouldn't ask such a question now.

A little guilty, Chu Yang turned his face and said to Jolin: "I'm just a country bumpkin, but you're a wealthy young lady. I'm not worthy of you, let alone know you."

"That makes sense!" Jolin nodded, thinking that she must have made a mistake. How could she know him?

Seeing that Jolin didn't speak anymore, Chu Yang busied himself again.

There was still a thin axe blade-shaped iron block. Chu Yang decided to hammer it into a self-defense tool.

Using the same method as before, after about ten minutes, a sharp weapon took shape.

"As long as I find a hard stick to make a handle, it will be a simple axe," Chu Yang said, playing with the approximately four or five-pound axe-shaped iron sheet in his hand, very satisfied.

Although it was very different from a real axe, it could at least be regarded as a very good self-defense weapon, much better than a stick.

If Chu Yang had this axe during the sneak attack on the black wolf last time, that black wolf would have had no chance to escape and would have been gutted by Chu Yang directly.

Looking at the sky, Chu Yang put away the axe and planned to prepare dinner first. At present, he hadn't found a satisfactory stick to match the axe handle.

Holding the newly made simple kitchen knife, Chu Yang dragged the big python to the seaside.

He gutted it.

"The snake gallbladder, this is a good thing!" Chu Yang took out a three-finger-large green object from the big python's body and put it in a bottle for preservation.

The snake gallbladder has the effect of detoxification.

The more poisonous the snake, the stronger the effect of the gallbladder. Now Chu Yang was on this unknown deserted island without any medical supplies, and no one knew what dangers they would encounter. Therefore, this snake gallbladder might be a life-saving item for them in the future.

After putting away the snake gallbladder, Chu Yang began to dismember the big python.

Besides the snake gallbladder and snake meat, Chu Yang threw other parts of the snake directly into the sea.

Night.

In the small cave in the valley, Chu Yang and the others sat around the bonfire.

On the stone in front of the bonfire, there were rows of sea fish and shrimps, all caught by Liu Qing and Xu Qing from the seaside. Tonight's catch was also very abundant.

Besides these sea fish and shrimps, Chu Yang also grilled snake meat on the iron plate picked up from the seaside.

Piece by piece, the snake meat turned golden brown on the iron plate, and a strong aroma of meat wafted out.

After finishing the preparation, Chu Yang put the grilled snake meat together with the sea fish and shrimps.

Golden grilled snake meat, sea fish and shrimps, and green wild fruits.

Although their dinner consisted of only these three simple things, it was definitely the most sumptuous meal they had ever had on the deserted island.

"So fragrant!" Xu Qing and Liu Qing smelled the fragrance, their eyes shining, their faces full of intoxicated expressions, and they swallowed their saliva constantly.

However, Liu Qing and Xu Qing looked at the meat in front of them but didn't dare to start eating.

Because this was snake meat, they were still very resistant in their hearts.

"Are you not going to give it a try?" Chu Yang said to Liu Qing and Xu Qing.

The two girls were still hesitant.

Chu Yang smiled, stuffed a large piece of golden snake meat into his mouth, and while eating it with relish, he said to Liu Qing and Xu Qing: "It's really delicious, simply a delicacy."

Looking at Chu Yang's intoxicated expression, Liu Qing and Xu Qing swallowed their saliva fiercely.

After looking at each other, the two girls gritted their teeth and finally decided to go all in. They also grabbed a piece of golden snake meat and then shut their eyes and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Huh?" When they put the golden snake meat in their mouths, Xu Qing and Liu Qing's eyes widened.

The snake meat was unexpectedly delicious.

With a start, knowing the taste of snake meat, the two girls began to eat heartily, one piece after another, as if they hadn't eaten for many days.

Fortunately, Chu Yang had prepared more, otherwise it really wouldn't have been enough.

After wolfing down for several minutes without caring about their image, Liu Qing and Xu Qing belched contentedly.

"Jolin, you should also have some. This meat is really delicious!" Xu Qing saw Jolin sitting alone, looking disgusted while eating sea fish and shrimps, and handed her a piece of golden snake meat.

Jolin saw the snake meat handed over by Xu Qing, frowned tightly, and said angrily: "Even if I starve to death, Jolin will never eat this disgusting thing!"

"Suit yourself!" Chu Yang didn't indulge her and started eating.

Seeing Jolin's attitude, Xu Qing didn't say anything more.

Looking at the remaining golden snake meat, Xu Qing and Liu Qing couldn't help but start eating again, and the three of them ate with relish.

Jolin looked at the intoxicated expressions of Chu Yang and the other three as they ate, and then at the sea fish and shrimps in her hand. Originally disgusted, it now seemed even less appealing.
