Chapter 11: Wooden Hand Shovel
Tong Duoduo ran back to the river and took out a dagger and began to cut the grass, first cutting a small piece down, and then moving it to the stone platform to spread out and dry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info then returned to continue cutting the grass and then carrying.
Often after returning for an unknown number of trips, she was so tired that she didn't want to move before she stopped. After resting for a while, she roasted a large sweet potato on the spot, and suddenly remembered that sweet potatoes and crabs could not be eaten at the same time.
What I eat at noon is crabs, although it feels like a long time has passed, but Tong Duoduo doesn't want to take risks. In this unfamiliar place, obviously untreated, and even uninhabited, safety is the most important thing, so she decided not to eat sweet potatoes for the rest of the day.
Resolutely put away the sweet potatoes that have been roasted and fragrant. She took out the fish to the river, clumsily scraped off the scales with a dagger, disemboweled, gutted and cleaned the fish, and put a few perilla leaves in the belly.
Then he leaned over and picked a lotus leaf near the shore and washed it, wrapped the fish tightly with the lotus leaf, and then wrapped it in mud outside.
Tong Duoduo returned to the shore, dug a pit near the fire, buried the fish covered in mud, and built a new stove with stones on it to make a fire.
When she had done this, she took out crabs, shrimps, and other shellfish, and she skillfully used conch and shells as pots to cook and eat them one by one.
When she was five minutes full, she estimated that the time was almost up, so she directly extinguished the flames, used tree branches to disperse the temporary stove, and directly dug out the fish underneath.
Picking a big leaf and spreading it on the ground, Tong Duoduo changed the clean branches to pull away the soil outside the lotus leaf, and when he opened the lotus leaf, a rich fragrance came to his nose.
She took out her chopsticks and spoon and scooped half of the fish into a porcelain plate little by little, and sat on the rocks by the river with the plate and ate it deliciously. The unknown sea fish is tender and less thorny, because the perilla is put in the belly of the fish, the fish does not taste fishy at all, and it also has a special fragrance mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves, although there is no salt but the taste is good.
It's a pity that she only ate half of the fish in the porcelain plate, and her stomach was full, and she didn't want to hold on. I also saw that there was still most of the fish in the lotus leaf, which was the result of my own hard work, and I was not willing to waste it like this, so I turned the fish over with chopsticks, scooped the other half of the fish meat with the fish head into the plate, and put the plate directly into the space.
Dig a pit and bury all the food scraps, put out the fire, cover it with earth, wash the utensils, and put everything in order. She picked several lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and lotus canopies that she could reach.
Holding a lotus pod and peeling lotus seeds while walking, she glanced at the pampas grass with satisfaction, and looked at the sky, the sun was not so hot on her body.
She began to set out on the return journey, thinking that maybe she could knit a straw hat and wear it first. The weather is so hot, she walks directly in the sun and is exposed to the sun, not to mention the heat, it is easy to get dark.
In fact, it is not necessary to use cattail grass to weave straw hats, and other grasses with better toughness can also be used. Baskets, baskets, baskets, and baskets are also acceptable with other vines and other plants.
In fact, most of the things in this world are all in the same way, and if she can weave baskets, she will definitely be able to make baskets and baskets. In the future, it is better for her to bring something like a back basket as a cover, it is difficult to say when she will meet someone, and her space is always not easy to expose.
Thinking so, she took out a lotus leaf and put it directly on her head.
Hehe, it's finally not so hot now, it's much more comfortable.
After eating the lotus seeds, Tong Duoduo began to touch out the strawberries, eating them slowly as he walked. She didn't forget to look for vines along the way, and after trying a few, she finally chose a vine that was not easy to break even the smallest rhizomes, and collected a lot. In this way, I arrived near home unconsciously.
Looking at the strawberries that had already gone to the space, and then touching her bulging belly, she blushed silently and began to comfort herself, and she had to dig the soil and move to eliminate food.
Finding gloves to put on, she came out with a large storage box, and found a short, thick trunk, first tried to slowly sharpen the surface as wide as a shovel with a dagger, and then she sharpened the bottom again, scraping the handle a few more times to make it as smooth as possible without spikes.
Armed with the tools, she began to dig into the dirt, and suddenly felt comfortable with her fingers. After only digging a few times, she felt that the wooden shovel in her hand was still a little heavy, so she stopped and carefully cut the shovel a little thinner.
She tried the feel of the shovel while digging the soil, and finally the shovel was slowly cut by her until it was only the original general thickness, so she did not continue to thin it, for fear that it would be broken.
The hand shovel made of wood is still a little rough, not suitable, or bamboo. She stopped after filling three large boxes of soil. She took the soil home and spread it neatly in a corner of the patio in the open air, and she spread it very thickly, at least the height of a palm.
At home, the fires in the doorway, bedroom, and patio have been extinguished. Tong Duoduo took the branches and rebuilt the fire, adding a lot of wormwood in the middle, although the wormwood is not dry, but it should be able to burn, right?
She put the things she had taken out before going out back into the space, and the clothes and socks that were drying outside were also dry, and she put them away. Only the shoes were left to dry.
When she went out, she continued her digging business. In addition to the soil, she has to bring some stones back to enclose her vegetable patch, or if it rains, there will be dirt everywhere?
When he turned around again, he only arrived at the entrance of the cave and smelled a choking smoke.
"Ahem, what's going on?"
Tong Duoduo coughed, took out a towel and moistened it with mineral water, covered his mouth and nose and ran in to take a look, and immediately cried and laughed, this is the result of burning wormwood.
Quickly extinguish the fire in the room. She remembered that she hadn't prepared a broom. Dump all the dirt and stones in the space into the corner of the patio and tidy it up a little. She hurried back out and went, digging for dirt, picking up rocks, and finding branches with leaves to put on brooms.
Busy times always pass exceptionally fast. Before the sky finally darkened completely, Tong Duoduo had not only brought out her small vegetable garden, but also surrounded her with large and small stones.
The bedroom was also thoroughly smoked and cleaned again.
On top of that, she also found a tall and large boulder to block the entrance to the cave from the inside, so that even at night it would give her a lot of peace of mind. Having space has saved her so much trouble!
At this time, Tong Duoduo was building a stove with the remaining stones in the vegetable garden in a sheltered place, and a fire was burning and lighting not far from her.
