129. Division of Labor and Cooperation (8th Update)
After discovering the problem, Chen Zhe took a piece of bacon to Yan'er and Da Qiao.
The two girls were sitting next to the spinning wheel at this time, and now it was Da Qiao who was operating the spinning wheel.
Seeing Chen Zhe coming, the two girls hurriedly stopped what they were doing.
"Brother Xiao Chen, why are you here?" asked Yan'er curiously.
Da Qiao tilted his head and glanced at the bacon in Chen Zhe's hand, and said jokingly: "Chen Zhe, are you here to bring us snacks?"
"Nope. Chen Zhe shook his head with a smile, and then said helplessly, "I found that the bacon that was drying was a little damp." ”
"Really?" When Yan'er heard this, she hurriedly took the bacon in Chen Zhe's hand and looked at it, only to see that the bacon had really become damp, and the feel was not as dry and hard as it had just been baked.
"It's a problem, the bacon is back to moisture, and even if you smear it with sea salt, it won't last long. Yan'er said depressedly, "There are still hundreds of catties of bacon in our camp, we can't watch them all rot, right?"
Da Qiao also became nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Then what can be done to stop the resurgence of the tide?
"I'm afraid not. Chen Zhe shook his head and said, "The resurgence of moisture happens all the time, and we can't wipe the water 24 hours a day, so we can't do anything else."
And doing so will also wipe the sea salt off the bacon. ”
"What then?" said Da Qiao depressedly.
Chen Zhe said: "I have a way to return the bacon because it has been exposed to the humid environment of the island for a long time, so it has been impregnated with water vapor in the air. If we can find an airtight container to store the bacon in a container that keeps the air out, the bacon should not regain moisture. ”
Yan'er and Da Qiao's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Chen Zhe's suggestion is really reliable.
"Then let's go find the container, shall we?" said Da Qiao subconsciously.
But after saying that, she realized the problem.
Where did the container come from on the island?
Since the four of them came to the desert island, the only sealed container around them is the military kettle provided by the program team, and the rest of the bathtubs, buckets, bamboo tubes, etc., built by Chen Zhe, cannot be sealed at all, and sometimes the internal moisture of the wooden container is more than the air.
The military kettle has a very small capacity, so it is certainly impossible to use it for meat.
Thinking of this, Yan'er asked helplessly, "Brother Xiao Chen, where can we find the container?"
Chen Zhe had thought about this question on the way when he came, and he already had an idea.
"Containers are actually not difficult to make, and bacon can be preserved with pottery. Chen Zhe said.
"Is pottery the kind of pottery?" asked Big Joe.
"Yes. Chen Zhe said, "Pottery actually began to appear in the Neolithic Age, and it was an important tool for ancient humans to store food, cook vegetables, and cook.
I've always wanted to make some pottery, not only to store our bacon, but also to make some ceramic pots and pots...... It is usually used to boil water or cook rice. ”
Yan'er immediately nodded and said, "That's a good idea, we can make some cooking utensils out of pottery." Now there is no cooking utensils, we can only use barbecue to eat, but barbecue is not healthy, and eating barbecue for a long time will eat bad for the body. ”
Da Qiao also agreed: "Yesterday Yan'er also found some wild vegetables near the camp, if there is a ceramic pot, we can cook a wild vegetable soup, so that the daily food is also richer." ”
"Yes, so firing pottery is still very important to us. Chen Zhe said.
But when it comes down to it, do it.
Pottery doesn't fall from the sky, and it will not be easy to make pottery.
Yan'er understood this truth, and immediately asked, "Brother Xiao Chen, how do you make pottery?"
Chen Zhe shook his head with a smile: "The process of making pottery is not too complicated, and the biggest difficulty in making pottery is to find clay. Ordinary soil cannot be used to burn pottery, only suitable clay can be burned. ”
"Clay?" asked Big Joe, tilting his head, "Clayey soil?"
Chen Zhe couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Yes, you can also say that, it is very small and fine soil. The main components of this soil are silica and alumina, which are very viscous when exposed to water. ”
"Then where is there such clay? Is there such clay on the island?" asked Yan'er worriedly.
Chen Zhe shrugged: "I can't guarantee this, but I think there should be." This type of clay does not appear near the sea, but can be found farther away from the sea. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Zhe turned around and pointed to the towering mountain in the middle of the island, and then said, "I think if there is clay on the island, then the clay must be on the mountain." ”
"Hmm......" said Big Joe mused, "So, you're going to the mountains to find clay?"
"Yes. Chen Zhe said, "I plan to go to the mountain to see if there is clay and other resources, even if we can't find clay, the mountain is rich in materials, and we may have other harvests." ”
Yan'er hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao Chen, I'll go with you, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, the two of us still have a care to take care of." ”
From coming to the desert island to the present, Yan'er has always acted with Chen Zhe, and this time she heard that Chen Zhe was going up the mountain, and Yan'er immediately volunteered to sign up.
This made Chen Zhe very pleased, and he smiled and pinched Yan'er's delicate and cute little nose.
"Of course, of course I'm going to take you with me. Actually, we'll probably be going for days this time, after all, finding clay isn't a task that can be done in a day. Chen Zhe said.
"Really, going for a few days?" said Yan'er.
Da Qiao was also unexpected, and said in surprise: "What? Chen Zhe, do you mean that you and Yan'er will leave the camp for a while?"
"Yes. ”
Chen Zhe said,
"But it's nothing, Mengyun, anyway, there are you and Mengfei in the camp, when we leave, you two close the gate, don't go out if you encounter any movement, ordinary beasts can't enter, it's safe here." Plus, there's enough bacon to eat, and you don't have to look for food, so you're all right, isn't it?"
Da Qiao nodded after hearing this, and said, "That's right, then Meng Fei and I will stay and watch the house." ”
Chen Zhe and Yan'er are responsible for expanding the space and finding new resources.
Big Joe and Little Joe looked after the house and continued to complete the work of reeling, weaving, and sewing clothes.
In this way, the four people worked together to form a fairly scientific wilderness survival team, and when the other players were still struggling for food and clothing, Chen Zhe already had a clear social division of labor.
