Chapter 25: Gooseneck Barnacles
Chen Yang had no experience in building wooden houses before, and all of them were learned and used, and he learned how to build them while flipping through the books.
Step 1: Make a wooden ladder.
Saw two small trees with the thick mouth of the bowl and used them to make wooden ladders.
Step 2: Choose the materials.
Find some straight trees to use to make the box structure of the wooden house, a total of eight, with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters, Chen Yang took a marker, selected in the cedar forest, and directly drew an X when he found a suitable one.
To be honest, it is really a bit difficult to find these small trees in this cedar forest, because no one has ever been here, the trees are all growing very well, most of them are directly over fifty, and some are even more exaggerated, and the two Chen Yang can't hold it.
The material is very important, and it is said in the book that you must do what you can to build a wooden house in the wild, because the tree is too big and it is difficult to move.
Step 3: Saw the tree.
The book teaches him the skills of sawing trees, first sawing half from one side, and then starting to saw from the other side after the big tree has an inclined direction, so that people will not be hit by the tree.
Step 4: Cutting.
After sawing down the four fir trees, Chen Yang took out a meter ruler and measured them, sawing them all into three meters long, because the wooden house that Chen Yang wanted to build was about two and a half meters high, and the reason why it was sawn into three meters was because half of the meter was to be buried in the soil and used to fix the house.
......
It took a lot of effort for Chen Yang to drag these sawn fir trees to the edge of the cliff, but Chen Yang thought too highly of himself, and after only dragging two, he was already physically exhausted, and the whole person was as tired as a dead dog.
Chen Yang drank a bottle of Red Bull.
Keep fighting.
It took another hour and a half, sweating all over his body, and even his hands were worn out to drag the first batch of fir trees back to the cliff shelter.
Step 5: Peel.
The wood used to build a wooden house is generally peeled, Chen Yang picked up the modified peeling chainsaw, and removed the bark little by little, and when he peeled it to the end, Chen Yang felt that his hands were shaking.
Step 6: Roast the fire.
After all, it is to be buried in the soil, and roasting it with fire can not only prevent insects, but also prevent mildew.
Step 7: Dig a pit and erect piles.
Next, Chen Yang used a shovel to dig four and a half-meter-deep pits at the selected construction site, buried four fir trees in them, mixed some sea sand with the remaining cement, and watered it, which is specially mentioned in the book.
The initial setting speed of concrete mixed by seawater and sea sand will be accelerated, but seawater contains sulfate, magnesium salt and chloride, which has an erosive effect on concrete, and will also cause rust to steel bars, which is not suitable for mixing reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete.
However, what Chen Yang wants, on the contrary, is these effects, his concrete is not placed with steel bars, and it is buried in the soil, he is really not afraid of corrosion, on the contrary, there is a little hope that the coagulation speed can be faster, as for the expansion of the concrete caused by sulfate erosion, it is also what Chen Yang wants, maybe it can bite the wooden stakes buried in the soil more firmly like an expansion screw.
After doing these.
Chen Yang's whole body was lying on the ground like a dead dog.
At this time, he was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and his wooden house project had completed the first few basic steps tightly, and if he had not completed more than 50 steps according to the book.
Chen Yang had a moment.
I really want to give up.
It's too difficult to build a wooden house, and his hands-on ability is really super weak, even if he wears gloves and grinds three blisters out of his palm, when he touches it, he will scream in pain.
Next.
Chen Yang went to the reef on the side, farted to the sea, solved a very important problem in his next life, and thought about life by the way.
Is it necessary to be so bitter in my own life?
After two or three months, and so the storage space is improved, it will be easy to directly transport an integrated house, and when the time comes, it will be equipped with an integrated toilet, generator set, configure a bed, and buy a projector by the way.
Another Chen Yang who can pay attention to details.
Vaguely sensing the danger of this island, he didn't want to spend two or three months to take risks, and building a wooden house should be the best plan at the moment.
Jack Ma, who repented of creating Alibaba, was not rejected in the early days, and was regarded as a psychopath, if he had chosen to give up in the most difficult time, it would not have been possible to have today's Alibaba empire, and he would not even regret founding Alibaba.
Whether it is the comfort of boiling a frog in warm water, or the steadfastness of one step at a time, after all, you still have to rely on your own choice, in the face of such a small setback, you choose to give up, and you will not be able to bear greater setbacks and pressure in the future, not so much that this is building a wooden house, but that this is a spiritual cultivation.
Chen Yang brainstormed with himself.
By the way, the spirit hypnotized.
Fuck your uncle.
If you don't try, how do you know if Lao Tzu can do it.
Chen Yang lifted his pants and prepared to do a big job, but before doing it, he had to replenish his physical strength, and Chen Yang fell into deep thought about what to eat today.
Pipi shrimp, grilled fish, lobster or abalone, Chen Yang has a lot of lists in his head, and there are too many island foods, which leads him to a difficult choice.
It wasn't until its eyes noticed a kind of seafood near the reef that it finally settled down, it was a very ugly seafood, known as "food from hell", the body was like a short and fat earthworm, and the head was still covered with shells, a whole dense patch, giving people a super disgusting feeling.
It's disgusting though.
But Chen Yang's eyes were shining.
It's a gooseneck barnacle, a super high-end seafood dish, and the taste is very delicious. Although Chen Yang also sold barnacles, they were not authentic gooseneck barnacles, the kind he sold was called turtle feet, which belonged to the same genus as gooseneck barnacles, but they didn't look so similar.
The head of the "turtle foot" is wrapped by eight sharp shell plates, the muscles of the handle are very developed, and there are rough "scales" on the outside like the claws of the turtle, so it can be named the turtle foot, of course, there are many names, such as dog claw snail, stone toad, Guanyin palm, etc., the folk also have a more poetic name, call it a pen holder.
Because of how its head looks.
It's like a pen holder.
But the one Chen Yang found today is still significantly different from the turtle foot, because it really looks like a goose neck, and the price is more expensive, the turtle foot can generally be sold for 200 yuan per catty, while the price of the gooseneck barnacle is doubled.
It's decided, and that's it for today's gourmet meal.
Chen Yang excitedly ran to the reef where the big waves were crashing, stepping on these delicious people, and at the moment when the wound on Chen Yang's palm touched the seawater, it almost made him directly ascend to immortal.
For a delicate foodie.
No matter how painful it is, you have to eat.
