Chapter 11: Picking up the eggs
"Well, I see. Lu Ke nodded forcefully, revealing a sweet smile.
She was here in Xu Yi and felt the feeling of being needed.
She had never experienced it before.
The family has always felt that she is a burden, a drag oil bottle. She is like a bloodsucking worm attached to her family, constantly draining the family's savings.
She first encouraged Xu Yi to sign up for the challenge, just for a compensation of 100,000 yuan, which could make up for the money her family spent on her.
At the same time, I also want to prove that I am still a useful person.
Then, Lu Ke took a few more sips of water.
After all, climbing the mountain for two hours in a row still consumes a lot of physical energy.
Plus it's 10:21 now, so it's normal to be hungry.
After drinking a small half pot of water, Lu Ke handed the pot to Xu Yi.
"Is this the bark used to weave things, it's so smooth!" Lu Ke picked it up and looked at it, and said excitedly. The bark was much better than she had expected.
"Well, don't be in a hurry to weave straw sandals and get a small soft basket for salt, is there a problem?" Xu Yi decided to boil the sea salt first, otherwise it would be very inconvenient to bring a pot of seawater.
"No problem, I make sure there are no gaps in the weaving. Give me the sappers, I'll need to get out a little bit of bark. Lu Ke said happily that her strengths were finally useful.
After Xu Yi drank the water, he began to boil the salt.
From time to time, Xu Yi glanced back at Lu Ke, who was sitting on the sleeping bag and carefully dividing the bark into thin strips of the city.
She not only wanted to weave a small soft basket, but also wanted to weave a back basket for herself and Xu Yi. In this way, you can save a lot of effort, and you can put things in the back basket and free your hands.
After having enough materials, Lu Ke began to weave small soft baskets.
This soft basket should not be too large and should preferably be hung around the waist.
She plans to weave a square one, about the size of a Red Bull bottle.
Lu Ke's hands are very dexterous, and she has been interested in all kinds of handicrafts since she was sensible.
Over the years, most of her own medical expenses have been earned by her own hand.
After a while, Lu Ke weaved a square bottom of just the right size.
In the live broadcast room, everyone saw Lu Ke's craftsmanship and was hit.
Many sailors said that they felt that they had learned it, but they wanted to chop their hands after trying.
Xu Yi kept stirring the seawater in the pot, and the water kept evaporating, leaving some white crystals.
These, of course, are sea salt.
However, this sea salt contains many substances, some of which are harmful to the human body, and other treatments must be carried out to obtain safe sea salt.
But Xu Yi doesn't have enough tools and time to deal with it now, and it is already very good to be able to get this hundred grams of salt.
Xu Yi took 41 minutes to boil the salt, and Lu Ke had already woven two small soft baskets. In the middle, she asked Xu Yi for a rope cut from a cow belt.
"Lu Ke, have you made up a small soft basket?" Xu Yi couldn't help but ask when he saw a relatively large rectangular braid appear in Lu Ke's hand.
"Okay, you can take it and have a look. As he spoke, Lu Ke lifted two small soft baskets.
Xu Yi walked over with the pot and took the small soft basket.
"You're so ingenious, you even have a lid and you can tie it up. Xu Yi said in surprise, he didn't expect Lu Ke's craftsmanship to be so good.
I really picked up a treasure, in the wilderness, craft is the best way to improve the quality of life.
Xu Yi opened the lid and took a look, there was no gap in it, it was a perfect work.
"No wonder you can make money by hand to heal your illness, I took it. Xu Yi happily put the salt in, only about half of the space, and then Xu Yi tied the lid and tied the small soft basket to his waist.
"Are you weaving a basket?" Xu Yi glanced at Lu Ke, who was still weaving, and asked with some surprise.
If you have a back basket, you can put the pot in, and you can also collect a plastic bag of water to put in.
The plastic bag can hold at least 20 catties of water, enough for them to drink for a while.
"Well, the basket is very useful, and I want to weave two out so we can collect more things. Lu Ke said with a smile, his eyes were full of light.
"Are the materials enough?" Xu Yi glanced at the materials on the ground and asked.
"There should be a little more, you can go collect some more. Lu Ke estimated that it would be no problem to weave one, but if there were two, it would be a lot worse.
"Okay, then I'll go and collect, you be vigilant, and if there is a situation, you will scream and run up. Xu Yi and Lu Ke explained, and then took the sapper shovel and went to collect some more bark for umbrella books.
Even if you camp here tonight, you have to put out the back basket.
Xu Yi came to the umbrella forest again and began to collect bark.
"Hey, there seems to be a bird's nest on it?" Xu Yi found an umbrella tree with a bird's nest on it, so he knocked on the umbrella tree with a sapper shovel.
There was no movement on it, so Xu Yi sawed off the umbrella tree, held it before it fell, and then carefully put it down.
"There really are bird eggs!" Xu Yi was pleasantly surprised when he saw the bird's nest.
This nest looks small from under the tree, but it is actually large.
What surprised Xu Yi even more was that there were 8 bird eggs, each of which was the size of a small egg.
Lunch, already available.
took out the bird's eggs, Xu Yi didn't care about collecting tree bark, and went directly down the mountain to find Lu Ke and share his harvest.
When she returned to Lu Ke, she had already completed a third of the basket.
"Lu Ke, look, what is this?" Xu Yi took the bird egg out of his pocket as if offering a treasure and showed it to Lu Ke.
"Ah, bird eggs, this is bird eggs?" Lu Ke exclaimed.
"That's right, there are eight of them, so don't worry about lunch. Xu Yi grinned and put the egg on top of the sleeping bag.
"I don't think much water has been collected yet, so I went to collect the bark. Xu Yi said happily, and then continued to go back.
In addition to collecting bark, Xu Yi is also going to look for other bird nests.
If there were, dinner would have been settled.
After a while, after Lu Ke had woven a back basket, Xu Yi brought Lu Ke here and waited for the birds that came out of the nest to come back.
The size of the bird's egg means that there are a lot of birds, at least four or five catties.
It would be even more perfect if you could kill one with a short crossbow.
It's a pity that Xu Yi took a look around the umbrella forest and didn't find the second bird's nest.
So, Xu Yi collected some bark and returned.
When she returned to Lu Ke's side, she was already guarding the pot.
