Chapter 16 Vegetables and Fresh Water

As the sun sets, the wind on the sea grows stronger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Under the rays of the sunset, the waves become golden, too. With the sunset that dyed half of the sky red, it has a unique sense of painting. The sky is beautiful, the water is so blue, and from time to time a few seabirds fly over the island.

"Island Master, what are you doing! We've all been there for a while. ā€

A sudden voice interrupted Zhao Kang's musings and pulled him out of the beautiful picture. Zhao Kang looked up and saw that Wu Zhipeng's fishing boat had docked at the pier.

"Think of something! Who among you will cook? Zhao Kang got up from the recliner and walked to the place where the supplies were placed.

A man was surprised: "Owner, you won't let us settle the dinner by ourselves, will you!" Said to be okay with room and board! ā€

Zhao Kang shrugged helplessly and said, "If, you want to taste my craft." I don't mind cooking it myself, only God knows what it tastes like. ā€

The other gentleman seemed to think of something, and said fearfully: "It's better not to trouble the island owner, there is one of us here whose skills are no worse than the chef of a five-star hotel." Sister Fang, you said yes. ā€

Among the tourists, the organizer Chen Dingsheng said: "Island owner, do you have any prepared ingredients here?" It won't be for us to go into the sea to fish and fend for ourselves! ā€

Zhao Kang pointed to a pile of kitchen utensils and said, "Rice cookers, induction cookers, gas stoves, gas, and pots and spoons are all ready for you." There are some vegetables, fruits, and some meat here. ā€

These living kitchenware were all purchased by Cai Anhui. At that time, it was sent along with other supplies, and Zhao Kang didn't think of these tools at all. Or too little life experience, some details of the plan is not perfect. Fortunately, someone checked and filled in the gaps, and it is really not just a matter of talking about having an old man in the family.

In order to facilitate stir-frying, Zhang Kang bought two cans of gas from SS City at noon. I prepared a few more pairs of chopsticks. In order to protect the island's environment and reduce the production of garbage, Zhao Kang buys bowls that can be reused.

Picking out the ingredients that Zhao Kang had prepared for them, the young girl asked, "Island Master, why don't you have seafood here?" I thought I was going to have a seafood dinner! You won't be stingy, so let's plan our breakfast, lunch and dinner to be vegetarian! ā€

In SS City, some vegetables are more expensive than seafood. Seafood is abundant here, and vegetables are mostly brought in from outside. The vegetables selected by Zhao Kang are all vacuum-packed carefully selected vegetables, which are more expensive than the normal price.

It's really not in the same latitude and longitude, and the difference in concepts is a bit big, so Zhao Kang explained: "Don't worry, you see that we are surrounded by the sea, and there will be no shortage of seafood." But for these vegetables, we were only able to ship them from SS City. So, bought a little more. ā€

"Island master, you still slam the door! To eat seafood, we still need to go to the sea to catch it, and you don't have any cost. The girl continued.

In the minds of these people, the price of seafood is still much more expensive than vegetables. Well, who made these tourists is God!

Zhao Kang was also embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so he had to prepare something and said, "Then you can prepare dinner." I still have something to do over there, so I'll prepare four more copies. There are also garbage and waste water with special dumping bins. ā€

After saying that, he walked quickly towards the dock.

Seeing Zhao Kang fleeing in the wilderness, the girl instantly laughed. Another older woman next to her knocked her on the head: "As long as you talk a lot, hurry up and help my sister pick vegetables." ā€

The girl was instantly unhappy, and pouted, "That's it! We're here to pay for the tour! They didn't work for him, and asked us to cook for him. Brother Sheng, Sister Fang bullied me. You don't care. ā€

Helping to pick out the dishes to eat tonight, Chen Dingsheng stood up and said, "I forgot to ask the island owner just now, where do we live?" The cabin over there doesn't seem to be finished yet. You guys are busy first, I'll ask the owner of the island. ā€

The girl saw Chen Dingsheng get up and leave, pouted, and said, "Coward." After speaking, he glanced at the remaining three boys.

Quickly fleeing the scene, Zhao Kang saw Wu Zhipeng and the rest of the crew resting on the dock. It's not clear what the afternoon harvest will be.

"Angkor, have you prepared dinner? I still have ingredients on the island. Zhao Kang approached and asked.

Wu Zhipeng said with a smile: "The ship is already preparing, and I didn't call you when I saw that you had prepared so many vegetables in the afternoon." By the way, there are no extra lamps, otherwise it is not safe for fishing boats to dock at night. ā€

Zhao Kang patted his head and said, "I only cared about the lighting on the island and forgot about the dock." After a while, I asked the technician to install a few energy-saving lamps at the dock as well. Angkor, you are going to dock here tonight and not return to SS City. ā€

In fact, it's not that Zhao Kang didn't think of it, but he felt that he couldn't use it now. There are only so many batteries, and the power supply on the island is definitely not enough now.

"This afternoon, I dragged a few nets but didn't pull much of it. I thought about using the fish trap lantern at night and dragging a few more nets. Stop here in the early hours of the morning and return to SS tomorrow. Wu Zhipeng explained.

Fishing boats go out to sea during the day. Sometimes, even at night, you can attract schools of fish by using the fish trap lamp. It is not easy to go to sea because of the lack of supplies. Most fishing boats are racing against the clock to find fish and suitable areas for netting.

Zhao Kang can't intervene in these things, just implement them according to Wu Zhipeng's plan. As long as the final dividends are indispensable, you can't do without your own.

After chatting with Wu Zhipeng for a while, Zhao Kang took his leave. Follow the light of a mobile phone.

At this moment, the island is already brightly lit. However, the lighting did not cover the entire island, but a few energy-saving lamps were placed on the sand dunes of the island. Makeshift open-air kitchens, gathering places for supplies, divided tent areas, and a beach. These are the places where the light is used.

"It's Mr. Chen, why are you alone." Zhao Kang approached and saw the people walking around the wooden house area and said.

Chen Dingsheng replied: "They are all helping to cook on the island, and I came to see the situation of the wooden house." Are these wooden houses now able to be occupied? ā€

Zhao Kang and Chen Dingsheng walked along the beach towards the location of the temporary kitchen, and said as they walked: "Tonight, only one wooden house has been cleaned up. Temporarily able to live two people, a few of us men are a little aggrieved. Stay in tents, and tomorrow these huts will be able to live in. ā€

After dinner, there was no longer a shadow of a fishing boat on the pier. I just dimly saw lights flickering on the sea in the distance.

After a little rest, Zhao Kang and the others began to set up a tent. Zhao Kang had purchased five tents before, which was just enough. Two of the remaining male tourists, one for the two cabin technicians, and one for the remaining two Zhao Kang and another technician who installed the solar power plant.

The two girls were sent up to the wooden house on a long ladder, and Zhao Kang and the others also went back to sleep.

Under the starry night sky, a bright moon gradually slipped down. The sky also turned dark to bright.

After several tourists watched the sunrise from the pier to the east, Zhao Kang brought out a bucket of drinking water and said, "Hurry up and wash up and prepare breakfast." Did you all bring toiletries? If you don't have one, you can come here to pick it up, here's a one-time one. ā€

"No, my lord. Washing also requires bottled water, which is also too luxurious. Bring a few buckets, don't run out of water for us. One tourist said.

Through last night's familiarity, Zhao Kang already knew the names of six tourists. It was Fan Chaoqun who spoke just now, an iT elite. Several of the men belonged to the same working group in a company and had just completed a big project. The company gave them seven days off to take a break. Seeing Zhao Kang's post on the travel forum, it was already the third day of their visit to SY. As IT people who are crazy about working overtime, they are ready to take a breath break. I used up the half-year off, and planned a total of 15 days of vacation.

Lin Fang is Chen Dingsheng's girlfriend, while the other girl is Lin Fang's sister Lin Min. That's why there are only two women on the team.

"Enough, I bought ten buckets of water at once! There are also two boxes of mineral water. Zhao Kang said.

"In that case, the cost of living on the island is a bit on the high side. It is also not conducive to the increase in the flow of people on the island. Fresh water can be a bottleneck for the island's development. Chen Dingsheng on the side analyzed.

Zhao Kang pointed to the middle of the island and said, "According to the records, this island has fresh water resources. I'm going to dig a well on the island and install a few more water towers. It should be possible to guarantee the problem of drinking water on the island. It's just that it's not time yet. ā€

Zhao Kang consulted in SY City and SS City to dig wells on the island, but the other party's asking price was too high. The basic equipment and labor costs are quoted to tens of thousands, and then every meter deepened will cost one meter. According to the records, the water level here is also one or two meters above sea level at the highest point of the island. Zhao Kang planned to dig it up by himself or hire a few people for a while.

After drilling the well, raise the height of the edge of the well to more than two meters to prevent it from being flooded by the tide in the future. Build two or three more water towers and storage tanks so that the island can also use running water. And reduce the pressure on transporting fresh water from outside, and by that time the island should be able to handle the number of tourists for 100 people.

After Lin Min finished washing, he rushed to Zhao Kang and said, "Island Master, what activities did you arrange for us today?" ā€

Now the tourist activity area of the island, Zhao Kang is divided into three. One is the beach near the island pier, where Zhao Kang has placed several parasols and two matching loungers, which can be used for sunbathing, beach play and surfing; One is to talk about the sea area on the side of the wooden house, where you can play in the water and catch sea crabs on the hard reef; The last one is the northwest of the island, where there is a strangely shaped reef that makes it a great place to sit and watch the waves crash against the reef.
