Chapter 641: Gift From Nature (Part 2)

Schiller did not make his own BJ roast duck, because the soil here is not suitable for making a stove, but he did make a simplified version, that is, after cleaning the duck, marinate it with seafood juice.

Cut open the abdomen, stuff apples and lemons, and then stuff the whole duck into a larger coconut shell. After sealing the coconut shell, put it into the burning hot sand and stew the duck.

Hal wanted to replicate Wellington steak, but because there was no ready-made starch, he could not make puff pastry, and there was no good raw material for mushroom sauce, so he also made a simplified version.

Remove the edges of the toast, brush each layer with butter, stack four layers together, pinch them, and fry them until golden brown, sprinkle pepper on the steak, fry it until six-tenths rare, apply seafood sauce, and wrap it with bread to make it crispy.

Seeing that the opponent's strength was comparable to theirs, the two people who did not feel hungry at all did not stop showing off their cooking skills until another figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.

It is actually difficult to see a real puzzled expression on Batman's face, but at this moment, Schiller is sure that he saw a trace of doubt and confusion on Bruce's face.

It is not easy to judge the life and death of the two people lying there, but the appearance and smell of the food will not deceive people. Bruce, who flew for several hours before finally arriving at the crash site, was a little hungry at this time. When he opened the door of the closed cave and walked in, he was even hungrier.

These recipes basically add original elements to adapt to the environment, but the general structure is still the food making method that humans have tried countless times. Basically, there will be nothing wrong. Therefore, both in terms of fragrance and appearance, it is very tempting.

The first dish to come out of the pot is the chicken stewed with mushrooms. Because of the rich fat in the chicken thighs, the whole dish is covered with a layer of golden luster. The same luster is the seafood pasta made with shrimp oil. The pasta in the coconut shell makes it easy to imagine the unique fragrance of coconut in addition to the delicious seafood.

The cut duck meat is also very imaginative. The meat has been stewed to be extremely soft and tender. With the seafood sauce prepared by Schiller, one bite will probably take you straight to heaven. The wilderness survival version of Wellington steak looks unique. The combination of a large amount of carbohydrates and thick-cut steak will make any omnivorous creature crazy.

When Schiller's last pot of seafood soup came out, Arthur sat up as if he had resurrected. He didn't care about Bruce, the uninvited guest, at all. He rushed to the stone slab at a speed and waited for the meal.

Schiller helped Oliver up and took him to the stone slab. After the four of them sat down, there was no empty seat around the stone slab, so Bruce, who had just arrived, seemed a little embarrassed.

Although he had recognized the refrigerator next to him, which was the one Alfred prepared on his plane, he was very self-aware. If he was given these ingredients and did not get poisoned after eating them, he would be lucky. If he wanted to eat such delicacies on such an isolated island, he would probably have to go back and train with Alfred for another three months.

Schiller raised his eyes, as if he had just seen Bruce, and said, "Isn't this Mr. Wayne? Are you here for vacation too?"

Bruce looked at his refrigerator, and Schiller looked back at the refrigerator and said, "Oh, that's a gift from nature. In this case, I think nature will not reject every traveler. Do you want to eat some?"

"Shouldn't you explain first what's going on?" Bruce said in his often low tone.

Half a minute later, Bruce was chewing a piece of chicken mechanically. Schiller looked at him with an unfriendly look and said, "Do you think my cooking is not delicious? Why do you seem happier when eating his pasta?"

Arthur hurriedly moved to the side, not wanting to be too close to Schiller. Bruce pursed his lips and said, "No, I just wondered why nature happened to give you a refrigerator that is exactly the same as the one on my plane..."

"Do you believe in God?" Schiller asked.

The expression on Bruce's face was "Do you even need to ask this?".

Bruce Wayne is a devout Christian who previously sponsored all the expenses for the renovation of Gotham Cathedral, but Batman? He doesn't believe in any god.

"If you don't believe in God, I can't explain it to you." Schiller drew a cross on his chest and said.

"What if I do?"

"Then why don't you ask God?"

After that, Schiller threw the last piece of chicken bone out of the cave. Just when Bruce was struggling, the rice on the stone slab had already run out.

Arthur and Oliver's eating manners could not be described as reserved and polite, but rather as the reincarnation of starving ghosts. It was proven that no matter how strong and rational a person is, they would get hungry, and nothing could stop the human desire to eat.

After a hearty meal, everyone regained their spirits. Oliver's condition improved a lot, and Schiller began to treat his wounds with the things in the medical bag. The previous wounds had already shown signs of deterioration due to some of his improper operations, so it was a bit troublesome to treat them.

During this time, Arthur and Hal planned to make the hand-cast net. The fibers were cooked and were drying. Now that they were almost dried, they could start weaving.

"First, we need to cut all the long leaves with metal sheets. The thinner the better. Note that the front end of the leaf should be kept and not cut. Then soak the leaf in water. After soaking, weave the fiber part in this way..."

Arthur took a processed leaf and started weaving. The weaving method was similar to braiding, but because there were many cuts and the overlapping method was complicated, Hal looked at it, blinked, and asked: "What happened just now? What did you do? How did this leaf become a thin rope?"

Bruce, who was standing aside and observing, looked at a leaf next to him thoughtfully. He picked up the leaf, picked up a piece of metal sheet from the side, and started to cut the leaf.

Bruce sighed several times in his heart when he used the wreckage of his Batfighter as a tool, but what made him sigh was not that this material was wasted. He thought that the metal used in making the fighter plane next time should be softer, so that it would be convenient to use it to make tools when he ran out of ammunition and food in a plane crash and was on a deserted island.

After scratching the leaves, he began to weave. His movements were a bit slow at the beginning, but when he got to the middle part, his fingers had left afterimages, even faster than Arthur.

Soon, a thin rope appeared in Bruce's hand, but he still felt dissatisfied. He pulled the two ends of the rope and stretched it, then got closer to observe and found that as he pulled hard, some of the thinner fibers of the rope had broken. Obviously, if he pulled harder, the rope would definitely break.

Bruce shook his head and turned his mouth down, revealing an unsatisfied expression.

He picked up another fiber. This time, he cut it a little farther apart, making each fiber thicker. However, when weaving, the fibers were too hard to fit together. The ropes on the edges were bumpy and not smooth.

Bruce simply walked to the door and moved all the fibers of various types over. Then he conducted experiments, distance measurements, experimental data recording, control groups, finished product tests, etc.

Behind him, Arthur was still talking to Hal about how to use metal to stably cut thin fiber strands, while Bruce had already iterated his products several times.

Finally, Bruce found a palm leaf that was very suitable for making ropes. The fiber of this leaf had good strength when it was thin, and the rope would not break when it was woven. When it was thick, it could maintain a certain hardness and toughness.

After finding this material, he began to improve the weaving method, striving to find a simple, fast, labor-saving and strong weaving method.

Before long, he had woven several thin ropes, and then began to test them one by one. Finally, he found a method and began to improve it.

After finding the best way to weave thin ropes, many thin ropes were twisted into a thick rope. At this time, Bruce found that the thick rope made of a single fiber was far inferior to the thick rope made of multiple fibers and multiple weaving methods.

He began to study the best combination again, trying to find the most suitable method among several materials and methods.

On the other hand, Hal finally learned how to make thin ropes, and Arthur began to teach him how to twist thin ropes into thick ropes. His method of twisting ropes was very simple, just twisting them up and rubbing them, and then tying knots at both ends.

After the thick ropes were made, you can start weaving fishing nets. Hand-cast fishing nets are actually very simple. Arthur made a hand-cast net that is similar to the modern Frisbee hand-cast net, which is to use harder plant stems to form a hard support, and then put the net on it.

The weaving method of the net is also very simple, it is nothing more than stacking one by one, pressing the back against the front, and pressing the left against the right. After a while, Arthur made a very good hand-cast net, which looks different from the hand-cast nets sold outside only in terms of material.

Seeing Arthur's actions, Bruce began to think again. He saw that it was a hand-cast net, but Bruce, who also grew up in the coastal city of Gotham, knew that although the hand-cast net was simple, it was relatively primitive and the success rate of fishing was not high, especially in the ocean.

At first, Bruce wanted to make a capture net launcher. He had made similar equipment before to catch criminals alive, but soon he found that it was difficult to provide enough propulsion for the net in a place without gunpowder and rubber. If the distance the fishing net was shot out was not as far as the distance thrown by hand, it would be meaningless.

Since the fishing net couldn't get through, let the fish come over. Bruce changed his mind and looked at the wood next to him.

He took the wooden sticks that Arthur had handled before, and after fiddling with them for a long time, Bruce made several shapes. Looking at these shapes, Bruce touched his chin and thought for a while, and finally chose one of them, and then began to weave a fishing net around this shape.

When Hal finally succeeded in weaving most of the fishing net, Bruce made a strange-looking fishing device. It was obvious that it was not a fishing net, but a fishing trap.

Bruce had never fished before, so he made this fishing trap entirely by reasoning and wisdom. When Hal finally succeeded in making a hand-cast net and was about to try it out with Arthur, they turned around and saw the fishing traps Bruce had thrown all over the floor.

Arthur's eyes widened, he strode over, and then said loudly: "Fish trap?? Are you a fisherman too???"

"Oh my God, my father tried to teach me how to make this several times, but I never learned it. You must be an experienced old man..."

As soon as Arthur said this, his eyes fell on Bruce. Although Bruce was about the same age as him, he was much better maintained than him. Because he often moved at night, there was almost no trace of wind and sun on his body. At first glance, he was the kind of young man who was picked up and dropped off by car wherever he went.

Arthur smacked his lips and said, "You are definitely not a fisherman, so where did this thing come from?"

Bruce, who was holding the fishing trap, glanced at Schiller who was still treating Oliver's wound, then threw the trap in his hand to Arthur and said

"This is a gift from nature."
