Chapter 455 Decomposable Fish Cage

Back in the bamboo forest, Li Junge sawed off a few large bamboo tubes from the bamboo, together with rattan poles and a few bamboos that were not thick, and picked up a few pieces of dead bamboo by the way, and went back to the shrubs to find Ayin.

Ah Yin had already collected a large pile of firewood, and the two of them bundled the firewood into two large bundles, and Li Junge collected a pile of moss at the bottom of the bushes and returned to the camp together.

The first thing to do is to make a fire, Li Junge found the withered bamboo, scraped a lot of fine bamboo shavings from the inside of the withered bamboo piece with the tip of a handsaw, and then sawed a small hole in the outer skin with a handsaw in the middle of a four-finger-wide piece of withered bamboo, which was so deep that it just penetrated the bamboo, leaving a small eye with a thin nail tip.

Put the bamboo shavings on the inside of the withered bamboo slices, just pile them above the small eyes, and take a few pieces of thin bamboo and press them on the shavings to clamp them, Li Junge took another piece of withered bamboo and put it on his chest, stuck the opening just opened into the sharp edge of the withered bamboo slices, and began to rub up and down quickly.

Ah Yin had already built a fire pit with stones and a small pyre with thin branches, and then came over to watch Li Junge make a fire.

Li Junge raised his head and smiled: "Uncle Orion hid it, and this time the SAT came to go into the mountains with him to learn his hand." Hmph! I used to drill wood to make fire, but this method is the most convenient. ”

Ah Yin smiled: "Only you take this as a treasure, Uncle Orion is too lazy to teach you, right? Who still uses this method to make fire now, how convenient is the lighter?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Yiduo doesn't press down, don't you think this will be used?"

As he spoke, the edges of the withered bamboo pieces began to carbonize and turn black, and sparks were constantly scraped into the small eyes of the withered bamboo pieces moving up and down, causing the shavings around the small eyes to begin to smoke.

Seeing that it was almost over, Li Junge took off the shavings and began to blow into it.

After three or five strokes, a small flame suddenly rose on the shavings.

Ayin shouted excitedly: "It's a success! Erpi, you're so good!"

Li Junge moved the flames into the fire pit, first added fine firewood, then added dry firewood, and the fire pit burned.

Li Junge said with a smile: "OK, the easiest thing to do, Ayin, you are responsible for burning a big fire, taking carbon, and I'll make a bamboo trough." ”

I took a large bamboo tube with knots at both ends, sawed down one-third along the inner side of the bamboo, and opened two seams.

Then he found a chisel-shaped flint, knocked out the tip at one end, took a wooden stick and chiseled it through the edge of the gap in the bamboo tube, cut the side slit, and after breaking it, he got a bamboo groove.

After making two bamboo troughs, Li Junge began to change a bamboo pole into a bamboo chip.

This is as simple as sawing a groove at one end, sawing a dry piece of wood into a wedge, and then taking the wedge and knocking it into the groove sawed out at the top of the bamboo pole, and the bamboo will split in half along its own fibers.

Then divide the bamboo core into four and eight, bend the bamboo core outward and the bamboo skin inward, the fiber of the bamboo core will break, and tear from the fracture to both sides, so that the bamboo flesh and bamboo skin can be separated.

Then the bamboo skin is hammered and torn as well, and a lot of bamboo skin silk is obtained.

With bamboo silk and thin rattan rods, Li Junge can make fish cages.

This Li Junge is a skilled hand, first knitted a small fish cage for an eel, this one was used as the lid at the bottom, and then knitted a funnel-shaped fish cage with a large mouth and a small bottom.

The bottom is just the right size to fit on the mouth of the small fish cage. At the edge of the open is a circle of sharp bamboo needles that extend diagonally inward, which is the second layer of the fish cage.

Moving on, the bottom of the third floor is as large as the opening on the second floor, but the cage lattice is sparse, and the openings are also covered with bamboo needles, so that the funnel becomes larger.

If such a layer after layer, in the end, it can even be made into a behemoth, and hundreds of catties of big fish can be loaded into it, then there is another name, called Yujiao.

Today's time is relatively tight, Li Junge only made three layers, the radius of the fish cage mouth is about one meter, and the length is two meters.

Such a fish cage can catch fish under five or six catties, and no matter how big it is, it will generally not go in.

Looking at the rough fish cage, Li Junge pouted: "A-Yin, this is not my craft, the main thing is that there is no knife, and I can't control the thickness of the bamboo wire, otherwise I will make it look good." ”

Ayin's little face was red from the fire, and he said with a smile: "I know, you can quickly arrange what to do next." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "I'll go to the cage first, and I'll count on it for food in the future, this fire can't be extinguished, you go to see some palm leaves first, pile them in one place and wait for me to move, I'll go to the cage first, get water, and find some food by the way, let's deal with it like this for lunch today." ”

I took two big bamboo tubes, drilled a hole with a handsaw in the horizontal piece of the bamboo, wove the two bamboo tubes side by side with rattan, pulled out four rattan sticks from top to bottom to make tendons, and then took the rattan to weave back and forth in the middle of the two pairs, and braided them into two straps.

Carrying the bamboo tube on his back, Li Junge carried the disassembled fish cage and walked towards the lake.

Came to the lake to put down the tools, looking at the fish stars in the lake one after another, Li Junge smashed his mouth and said: "It's amazing, there are more fish than Lao Tzu Li Jiagou!"

The next step is to mud the fish cage.

Of course, it is best to wipe blood, but Li Junge doesn't have this thing, so he can only give up.

After wiping the thin mud, the fish cage was connected layer by layer with bamboo silk, and in the last layer of eel cage, Li Junge threw some smashed snail mussel meat into it, closed the mouth with bamboo silk, and lowered the fish cage to the edge of the reeds.

The fish should be placed in the direction of the water, and the fish swim against the water, so the mouth of the cage should be in the direction of the current, parallel to the shore of the lake.

Set up the cage and the next step is to fetch water.

Li Junge, who took water from the lake, suffered a big loss, beat roundworms twice, and was beaten once, so he knew that only the water in the well was clean.

If there is no well, then make one, find a muddy and sandy land by the lake, and Li Junge began to dig a pit.

Fortunately, the mud and sand by the lake are also soft, and it will not take long to dig out a large puddle with a diameter of one and a half meters and a depth of one meter.

Then it was to trim the puddle, find stones and stone chips to put around the puddle and the bottom of the puddle, and the well immediately became smaller, but Li Junge didn't care, and began to dig out the thin mud and sand paddles.

Splashing the mud and sand out of the well, it was no longer possible to immediately count on drinking well water, Li Junge still took two cylinders of water from the lake and prepared to boil it before drinking.

After doing this, Li Junge began to walk along the lake in search of food.

Li Junge also found a ginger plant before, and found that the taste was not like ginger, not like Ye Hanshu, but a little like the southern ginger taste in the lunch box these days.

It doesn't matter what ginger it is, as long as it can suppress the fishy smell, with this, the snail river mussel meat can be eaten, and there is no need to make meat separately.

After making a bunch of river mussels and snails, Li Junge continued to look for them in the swamp by the water, picking ear roots, wild water chestnuts, cattails, water celery, and camellia, as well as a kind of lotus flower, but I don't know if there is a lotus root underneath.

I picked some ear roots, and I can boil water to drink a little to clear heat and prevent colds.

Folded two lotus leaves, smashed the snail and river mussels open the shell, took the meat, and washed them. Putting the ear-plucked root snail river mussel in one place, Li Junge put on the bamboo tube on his back and returned to the camp.

After putting the things away, pouring water into the two bamboo troughs and boiling them, Li Junge took the flat pole and went to the woods to find Ayin.

There was already a large pile of palm leaves beside her, as tall as she was sitting, and she was sitting under the palm tree, tearing the palm leaves apart from the bottom of the leaves, and splitting them in half.

Li Junge bundled the leaves and picked them back and forth twice before finishing them.

The water has already boiled, Li Junge tied a bamboo horse, moved a trough of boiling water to the bamboo horse to cool, then took a piece of ginger and smashed it into another trough, and crushed the mussel meat on the stone with a handsaw, and threw it into the bamboo trough with the snail to cook.

It's lunch.

The bamboo skewer picked up the boiled mussel and snail meat and ate some of it indiscriminately, Li Junge sawed off two bamboo pipes to make straws, drank some water with Ayin, found a shade to rest for a while, and then began to build a shed.

Before building a shed, Li Junge found a dry bamboo tube, pulled out some small holes with a handsaw on the bamboo tube, and then used mud to paste the outside of the bamboo tube, picked out all the holes with a thin bamboo stick, and then stuffed the washed and half-dried moss into the bamboo tube, took a wooden stick and pestle it in, as tight as possible, and finally used a wooden stick to seal the mouth of the bamboo tube, and put the bamboo tube on the charcoal fire to burn.

Ayin said, "Erpi, what is this for?"

Li Junge said: "To make ignition carbon, even if the moss is compacted, the inside is very loose after dehydration, and there is a lot of air in it after carbonization, and only a small spark made by a handsaw and flint can lead the fire on it, as long as it is kept dry." ”

Seeing that the small holes in the bamboo tube began to steam out, Li Junge smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry about it, let's build a shed." ”

The shed is simple, Li Junge used to build a number of corn stalks every year, and now he has to build a bamboo frame with palm leaves, so naturally it is not a problem, the two of them chatted and worked at the same time, and after a while, a big green palm shed was built.

After building the shed, Li Junge found another piece of dried bamboo that was the width of a palm, grinded a shovel out of the stone, and began to dig a drainage ditch.

After everything was done, Li Junge moved the burned moss to the shed for preservation.

Looking at the ground in the shed, he said to Ayin: "It's not okay to sleep on the ground like this, there is still time, why don't we make a cool board?"

The cool board is the bamboo bed, the practice is actually very simple, the bamboo is cut into three finger wide bamboo pieces, the hand saw back scrapes off the edge burrs, the two ends take the slotted bamboo tube clamped, and then saw out the hole in the big bamboo, the bamboo tube left at both ends of the bamboo tube left out of the excess part nailed into the bamboo tube, a simplest cool bed is done.

Of course, this alone is not enough, the middle of the big bamboo should also be sawed, and the bamboo boards at both ends should be inserted to make beams, so that people will not collapse when they sleep.

But now it's all green bamboo, even if there are beams, the hardness is not up to the requirements, originally two bamboo horses are enough, Li Junge can only make a few more, prop it off the ground, and then spread hay, this is to the extent that people can lie down.

Went to the bamboo bed to try the comfort, Li Junge felt that there was no problem at all, patted the vacant seat on his side, and said to Ayin: "Even if today's big work is done, come, Ayin, lie down and rest for a while." ”

Ah Yin gently lay down beside him and said, "Erpi, I think it's a bit difficult to live like this for fifty days......"

Li Junge smiled and said: "Ah Yin, it's only the first day, do you calculate what we have done? With fire, water, and shelter, we have found meat, vegetables, fruits, bamboo, rattan, ......."

"The climate here is 278 degrees Celsius during the day and about 20 degrees Celsius at night, it's just heaven, you don't need to look for a quilt. ”

"The basic living security is already there, the next thing is how to work hard to live well, you have just arrived in a new environment, you feel nervous, and after two days you get used to it. ”
