Before Xiao Chen could think about it, he immediately turned over and avoided the attack of the jumping fish. Then, he pulled out the latest dagger prepared on his waist and suddenly stabbed the jumping fish that was still rolling on the ground.

As a result, with a "double" sound, the sharp dagger seemed to stab on the steel plate, which made Xiao Chenhu's mouth numb. He knew that the dagger in his hand could not penetrate the scales on the jumping fish's body.

The jumping fish got up from the ground, stared at a pair of dead fish's eyes, then opened its huge, barbed mouth and bit Xiao Chen violently!

Xiao Chen believed that if he was bitten by this guy, he would probably be bitten twice by it!

"Darhuang! Help!" Xiao Chen issued an order to the giant feet beside him, asking it to help him kill the fish.

Dahuang puffed her head, then raised her foot, and slapped her, and stepped on the jump fish directly under her feet, and immediately stepped on the jump fish into meat sauce!

"Hu..." Xiao Chen let out a long breath. He was saved, but unfortunately, the fish meat of the jumping fish was also soaked in. It was stepped on by the giant feet and pressed down on the weight of a thousand pounds. The jumping fish was also crushed into a pile of mud, and it could not die anymore!

Of course, fresh fish is needed to make fish. Nowadays, such jumping fish can no longer be used. Therefore, Xiao Chen needs to think of other ways to catch new jumping fish and ensure his personal safety.

"Is there any other better way?" Xiao Chen thought hard. At this time, he suddenly remembered the method of making gunpowder. Because when studying muskets, the method of making gunpowder entered Xiao Chen's mind. It was normal to think about it. Only muskets and no gunpowder, so how should we use it?

"Maybe gunpowder can be made to fry these jumping fish!"

Xiao Chen remembered that in their world, some people used gunpowder to fry fish. Although this method was illegal in Xiao Chen's original world and was strictly prohibited, it is undeniable that this is a very effective method.

So Xiao Chen decided to first study the gunpowder and then use the gunpowder to fry the jumping fish in the water. This is both efficient and safe. The fish that was blown to death can also be eaten normally, without any problems.

So, with this idea, Xiao Chen returned to the village from the river and began to make gunpowder.

Of course, he remembered the formula of gunpowder in his heart, and there were more detailed records in engineering, so Xiao Chen collected these three materials by himself.

The names of these three things have changed in the other world, but the ingredients and other things are still the same, and they are very common, which is very convenient.

It took Xiao Chen about an hour to collect all these three things, and then he began to make gunpowder.

The method of making gunpowder seems simple, but in fact the requirements are very complicated, and there must be no error in the ratio requirements, otherwise an explosion will occur and others will be hurt.

In order not to let anyone be hurt, Xiao Chen first took the materials and ran to the dense forest to do the experiment secretly. The experiment process experienced many setbacks and failed many times.

Many times, explosions will occur. Although Xiao Chen minimized the proportion of gunpowder to prevent the risk of explosion, he was still furious and embarrassed.

"Fortunately, I will finally succeed in developing it." Xiao Chen took out a small porcelain bottle, which contained the finished gunpowder, and then he placed another lead to detonate the explosives.

Don’t underestimate this small bottle of gunpowder. If a photo explodes, you can explode and break a tree directly!

This time it should be almost done. Xiao Chen looked at the small gunpowder bottle in his hand with satisfaction. He is now confident that he can blow all the fish in the river to death.

When he arrived by the river again, Xiao Chen lit the leads on the small porcelain bottle with flints, and then calculated the time and felt that the explosion time was coming. He hurriedly threw the porcelain bottle into the water, and then heard a shocking sound!

The explosives exploded!

Large pieces of blood rolled out from the river, and then more than a dozen jumping fish rolled their eyes and floated to the river surface, each covered in blood, obviously being blown by the explosives just now.

"Hahaha, it's a great harvest!" Xiao Chen was very excited at the dozens of jumping fish floating on the water. This proved that his actions were correct and effective. "Let's use this method to catch fish in the future, and we will definitely catch more and better big fish."

Xiao Chen flowed the prepared explosives into the river one by one, and then, accompanied by the rumbling sound, blew the jumping fish in the river to death. Soon, the river surface was filled with dead jumping fish, with a population of hundreds.

Xiao Chen was excited to catch all the fish from the river, and soon, a small hill was piled up on the shore. Xiao Chen used local materials, erected a small bonfire, and then used branches to tie a jumping fish and set it on the fire to roast it.

Amid the crackling sound of flames, the body of the jumping fish was constantly flipped and baked by Xiao Chen on the fire. After a while, an extremely attractive fragrance floated out of the jumping fish. Xiao Chen suddenly felt hungry and his stomach started to scream.

He couldn't help but want to tear off a piece of fish from the jumping fish and taste it, but he finally held it back, because the fish was not ripe yet, so Xiao Chen didn't dare to sip it casually. Besides, who knows if there are any parasites or things on this fish, or it is like a puffer fish, which has some toxicity?

Therefore, Xiao Chen decided to cook the fish thoroughly and then throw its meat to some animals for food. If there is indeed no problem in the end, he will try it in person.

So after about ten minutes of roasting, Xiao Chen found that the meat of the trekking fish seemed difficult to cook. If it was on Earth, it would take about 10 minutes to cook a fish. However, here, it took more than half an hour to cook this trekking fish, otherwise the meat on the fish would obviously not be cooked thoroughly.

The jumping fish was finally roasted. Xiao Chen carefully cut a piece of meat from it and put it in the sun to watch it carefully. The flesh turned white, smelled very fragrant, and looked very appetizing, but Xiao Chen didn't dare to eat it easily. He took the fish to the territory of an iron-toothed wolf near the village. Then he threw out the delicious fish meat at the iron-toothed wolf inside. Then he hid aside and observed quietly to see if any abnormal situation would happen after these iron-toothed wolfs had eaten the jumping fish meat.

Xiao Chen's appearance made these iron-toothed wolf look alert, and at the same time she screamed wildly, as if warning Xiao Chen not to approach its territory. Xiao Chen naturally would not approach. He just threw out the flesh in his hand and observed their reactions.

A group of iron-toothed wolf stared at the fish on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking. The last brave iron-toothed wolf lowered his head and sniffed the piece of fish carefully. It seemed that it felt there was no danger, and then opened its big mouth and swallowed the fish into its stomach.

Xiao Chen stared at the iron-toothed wolf that had eaten fish, trying to see what it would react. After waiting for a while, he found that it was the iron-toothed wolf without any problems, and he looked satisfied. He seemed to like eating this piece of meat very much. Seeing that the iron-toothed wolf was fine, Xiao Chen felt relieved.

Now he could go back and eat the jumping fish with peace of mind. Back at the river, Xiao Chen put all the jumping fish into his storage space. Soon, the storage space was full, but there were still many fish outside that were not loaded.

Xiao Chen thought about it and sold all the remaining fish to the system and obtained a lot of game coins. Then he recharged the system and soon expanded the capacity of many warehouses. Finally, Xiao Chen could load the remaining fish into the warehouse and take them back to the village.

When he returned to the village, all households had already started to make fires and cook. Only then did Xiao Chen realize that it was noon and time was passing so quickly.

At this time, Shitou and a group of people rushed back from outside the village. They searched for a day and harvested a lot of things, but there were still a few things that were not found. They planned to take a break in the afternoon and continue to go out to find materials.

"Shitou, come here to help me," Xiao Chen waved to Shitou, and Shitou brought a few people to Xiao Chen and asked, "Xiao Chen, what can I do if you need me to help you? Or do you go find raw materials? We have been looking for it for a whole morning and have gained a lot. Do you want to take a look?"

After saying that, Shi Tou asked everyone to pour the materials they found in front of Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen looked at them, and the colorful and various materials were dazzling. He couldn't tell which one was, so he temporarily put away all these materials and said to Shi Tou, "Shi Tou, I didn't want you to help me find the materials. I want you to prepare a few more large pots, and then lit these wood under the large pot, pour water and boil the water in these pots."

Shi Tou and others looked at each other. Although they found it strange, they still prepared everything according to Xiao Chen's request. The iron pot was pretty easy to say. Each house had one. As for clean water, it was more troublesome. They needed to transport the clean water back little by little from outside the village, pour it into the pot. The rest of the people put the wood under the pot, ignite the fire, and boil the water in the pot. After working for a long time, they finally set up 10 large pots. The water in the pot had already started to boil, and the heat was everywhere.

Xiao Chen's actions attracted other villagers. They stood curiously at their doorstep, pointing at this side, and talking a lot. They didn't know what Xiao Chen was going to do.

Now, Xiao Chen has a nickname in the village, that is, "Super Inventor". Everyone knows that Xiao Chen is very smart, has a flexible mind, and knows a lot of things. He teaches everyone to use animal taming skills and also studies muskets for everyone. Therefore, everyone is curious and respectful to Xiao Chen, and has regarded him as the second only to the old village chief in the village, the old witch doctor and Ahua.

A few children ran to Xiao Chen and asked innocently, "Uncle Xiao Chen, what are you doing? Why do you add so many pots? Do you still have to boil the water?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I want to make a delicious meal for everyone. You can wait a moment. You will definitely love the food I made."

Xiao Chen felt that even the iron-toothed wolf ate as delicious as that, the fish he made must be more popular, so he dared to guarantee the children that his fish would definitely make them love it very much.

Soon, the water had boiled. Xiao Chen poured out all the jumping fish in the warehouse and piled them in front of everyone, frightening the stone people because they had already recognized that this was the ferocious monster in the river - jumping fish.

"Xiao Chen, why did you catch so many jumping fish? These guys are human-eating and have very strong attack power. We don't dare to touch them easily." Shi Tou said in surprise.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I used gunpowder to blow them up!"

"Gunpowder? What is that?" Shi Tou and others looked at each other. They had never heard of this term, and naturally they didn't know what gunpowder was used for.

Xiao Chen had no time to explain to them, so he just urged Shitou and others to clean up all the jumping fish, and then threw them into the pot one by one to prepare for cooking.

After all, the meal has passed now. If it is time on Earth, it is already past two o'clock in the afternoon. If it is a little later, I will prepare for dinner.

Shi Tou and others didn't talk nonsense, and cleaned up all the jumping fish on the ground with all their fingers, and they were discussing while cleaning up.

"This kind of fish is very powerful. Last year, I was swimming in the river and I was almost eaten by these fish. I really don't know how Xiao Chen used explosives to blow them up?"

"Is explosives so powerful? I really want to see them."

"Compared with this, I am more concerned about whether this kind of jumping fish can be eaten? I have had this idea before, but I have never been able to catch jumping fish. They are too fierce. I am really afraid that I will be eaten in the end!"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and clean up the fish. Xiao Chen is still waiting to put it in the pot." Shi Tou ordered from the side.

Everyone stopped talking and focused on cleaning up these jumping fish. The jumping fish were very big and a little troublesome to pack up. Moreover, there were a lot of debris in their internal organs, which needed to be carefully cleaned.

In about an hour, hundreds of jumping fish were cleaned up by Shitou and others. Then, Xiao Chen cut the fish into pieces with a knife, put them into a pot, and started cooking.

The seasonings in the village were too short, so Xiao Chen could only use the most ordinary salt and a seasoning similar to MSG and pour it into it.

Then, some herbs with a clear fragrance were added to the fish soup, and a large jar of brewed rice wine was borrowed from the old witch doctor, and then poured them all into the pot, saying that it was to remove the fishy smell.

The old witch doctor felt heartbroken. It took him a year to brew rice wine. Before he could drink it, Xiao Chen poured it into the pot and stewed it with the fish.
Chapter completed!
