When you arrive at the beach, you must have a seafood meal to be considered perfect.

Among these men who came, there were also those who knew how to water, although they practiced in the river in the village, but their skills were solid, even if they went to the sea, there was no problem.

Without Lin Qingqing saying anything, the men consciously rushed to the beach. As soon as the animal skin around his waist was torn, he threw himself into the sea with a "poof".

Lin Qingqing only saw a few round and strong buttocks, so he covered his eyes and screamed and turned around. Bei snickered a few times beside him, tugged Lin Qingqing's arm, and whispered: "Wise man, it's okay, it's all lying on your stomach, you can't see anything." With that, she laughed a few more times, and her voice was full of joy.

Lin Qingqing's face turned red all of a sudden, he bit his lip, covered his face and quietly turned around, first secretly pinching his fingers and rolling his eyes to observe the enemy's situation. After making sure that she really couldn't see anything discordant, she breathed a sigh of relief, let go of her hand, and hummed, "These bad guys! ”

"Wow!"

As soon as Lin Qingqing finished speaking, a group of naked men jumped up from the water, shook their hips with their backs to her, and then turned their heads and laughed!

Lin Qingqing gasped, pointed at the men and opened their mouths, but they couldn't make any sound, and only two big golden characters flashed in their minds: "!" ”

After the trouble, the men also obediently worked according to the division of labor.

If you know how to water, you will dive and catch seafood for lunch; The rest of the people were divided into two teams, one team stayed on the beach to find a suitable place to set up tents, and the other team went to find water, hunt, and take a closer look at the surrounding environment.

Lin Qingqing and Bei moved stones and began to build a stove. Then I picked up dry firewood in the surrounding area and began to cook the soup. Not everyone is used to eating seafood, and the jerky they bring at home should be boiled or cooked.

These jobs are light, and Bei alone can do more than enough. Lin Qingqing freed his hand and began to circle along the beach in front of him. Originally, she wanted to go to catch the sea, but thinking that there were still a group of bare-bottomed men hiding there, Lin Qingqing didn't have the mind.

A man saw that Lin Qingqing had walked farther, so he couldn't help but run a few steps in front of her, and said loudly: "Wise man, the seaside is dangerous." Don't go far alone. ”

Lin Qingqing raised her head and glared at him. "Where is it, don't you see me at a glance?" She is not an ignorant child, so she likes to walk around and cause trouble.

The man twisted his eyebrows. looked at Lin Qingqing and shook his head and said, "No." I've got to follow you. "When it comes out. The village chief told them that they must not let the wise man leave his eyes!

"Then follow along." Lin Qingqing walked around the man and took a few steps forward. He stopped and said, "Go, don't you want to follow me." ”

The place they chose to camp was relatively high, and Lin Qingqing estimated that they should not soak in the water when the tide was high. Looking around, there are many trees in the sparse area.

Hey, Lin Qingqing's eyes lit up, and he ran to the bottom of a tree, looked up carefully, and then squinted and laughed. Good stuff!

The lunch was very rich, with delicious seafood, mellow and flavorful stew, and good things that Lin Qingqing and the man moved back together, large coconut fruits!

Lin Qingqing used a bone knife to cut open a coconut, patted its thick shell and said to everyone: "With this, it doesn't matter if we can't find fresh water." ”

Liang nodded, looked at Lin Qingqing and said with a smile: "A wise man is good luck and knowledge." If it were me, I didn't even know this thing could be eaten. With that, he turned his head to look at Bei and asked, "Have you eaten this before?" ”

Bei shook his head, pointed to the coconut fruit and said, "I just went to see this kind of tree, but we don't have it there." ”

Liang Qi said: "Isn't this thing specially grown on the seaside?" ”

Lin Qingqing smiled, "Of course not." "The sea tribe doesn't, which means that the temperature environment over there is still not suitable for the growth of coconut trees. And the beach they are on now is south of the Sea Tribe, which may meet the growth requirements of coconut palms.

After lunch, after a short break, Lin Qingqing gathered everyone and began to tell them how to dry salt.

"There is only one way I know of salt drying." Lin Qingqing glanced around at everyone, raised a finger and shook it, and said seriously, "Although this method is a little tiring, it is very suitable for us." ”

……

In the afternoon of the same day, several men began to start work according to what Lin Qingqing said. Thirty strong men, all of them threw off their arms and dug pits on the beach in full swing.

The only way Lin Qingqing knows how to dry salt is to dry salt in the salt field. In general, two large pits have to be dug, one for evaporation and one for crystallization.

The seawater is exposed to the wind and sun in the evaporation pit, and the water evaporates to a certain extent, and then flows into the crystallization pit to dry, until the sea salt mixed with various substances is slowly precipitated.

The two large pits, or pools, are to be connected one after the other. The middle is plugged with silt or wooden boards, and when the seawater in the evaporation pit has dried to a certain extent, the barrier between the two evil pools is opened, and the seawater is driven into the crystallization pool to continue drying!

It's simple, but it's time-consuming.

The men led by Liang have said that the most important thing they lack now is time! Summer is the most leisurely time of the year, no more than spring to plow, no more than autumn to harvest, store, and prepare for winter.

The men were digging the salt pans, and Lin Qingqing was pulling Bei and a few men who were dedicated to protecting her to wander around looking for coconut trees. Since I know that coconut fruit can replace drinking water, I naturally want to get more back.

During this time, everyone wants to dry salt, and there must be no leisure. When they came, they only brought water bladders, bamboo tubes and pottery pots, and wooden barrels, which are bulky and occupy the place, are not a single one, which is now a very strict problem, and there is no place to store fresh water.

Liang also thought about cutting down a tree and making a few, but the problem was that there was no suitable thickness nearby, and there were no tools at hand, so this method was simply unrealistic.

It's hot, it's heavy work, and the men have a great demand for drinking water. Lin Qingqing also thought that he and Bei could take all the water bladders and bamboo tubes to the water source to irrigate, but the reality was. For the booze, the water is simply not enough to drink.

Even if Lin Qingqing and Bei broke their legs, they couldn't keep up with the speed at which the men drank water.

Leaving all the coconut fruits that were not eaten at noon in the camp, Lin Qingqing and Bei and a few people began their journey to find the coconut trees with water bladders and bamboo tubes. According to her guess, this is already a subtropical area suitable for the growth of coconut trees, and there should be many coconut trees. As long as he can find the coconut tree, Lin Qingqing will not worry about anything.

Thinking about the size and number of species in this world, it is estimated that the fruit of one tree is enough for their entire group to drink for two or three days!

The group walked a long way south, and Lin Qingqing was tired and wanted to lie down. A sharp-eyed guard screamed in surprise, "Wise." Look ahead! ”

Lin Qingqing looked up, good guy, coconut grove!

At the moment, several people were excited. He opened his arms and shouted, and ran over. Lin Qingqing hugged a coconut tree "mua~mua~" a few bites. My eyes narrowed with laughter.

Coconut fruit is big. The weight is not light, except for Lin Qingqing and Bei, there are only four men in the team. Although the individual type is strong and powerful. But it's still hard to get things!

Looking at the coconut fruits scattered all over the place, Lin Qingqing waved his hand and refused the construction of a few people who "will take it on the next trip", and after a few words, he divided the labor.

Half an hour later, two improvised trailers wrapped with twigs and vines were ready! The four men divided the labor, in groups of two, one pulled in front and one pushed in the back, although the speed of travel was a little slower, but the things were brought back, and there were more than expected!

In an afternoon's work, Liang led the crowd to dig four salt pans.

Wiping the unstoppable sweat on his forehead, Liang stared at Lin Qingqing with shining eyes: "Wise man, we have already made the salt field, can we dry the salt tomorrow?" ”

Lin Qingqing leaned on the edge of the salt pan and looked at the size and depth, nodded and said, "Well, we can start tomorrow." The sooner we get the sun, the sooner we can go home. ”

Hearing the words, Liang's mood was better, he drank a coconut, and said to Lin Qingqing: "Okay, tomorrow after getting the seawater to the evaporation pit, my brothers and I will dig a few more salt pans." Since we're here, let's get some more salt. In autumn, you can also save a little more meat. There was a look of anticipation and hope on his face, as if he had seen a bright future that people looked forward to.

Several men were also moved by Liang's words. When I think of storing food in winter, I feel more motivated. They all said: "Yes, dry more salt, store more grain!" ”

"Liang, let's get up early tomorrow and do more work while it's not hot."

Lin Qingqing sat beside the fire with her knees crossed, reflecting the flickering firelight, blowing the cool sea breeze, listening to the happy laughter in her ears, and suddenly felt a little melancholy in her heart.

She's homesick!

At the same time, Ling, who was far away in the village, was also following the instructions of his daughter-in-law, closing the door when it was dark, and no one would open it. You must know that there are suddenly many more women in the village, and there are really many people with different thoughts. As for the two who have a partner, Mu and Shi, I bumped into them several times on the road during the day.

If it weren't for the fact that both of them were strong-willed, there was a real chance that they would be dragged into the bushes!

Lin Qingqing was not there, and Ling was much lonely. However, there are a lot of things to be busy with, and Cheng Dù has also alleviated his worries and thoughts about Lin Qingqing.

Taking stock of the efforts and changes made by his husband and wife in the village after the beginning of spring, Ling sighed lightly, feeling that even if he left, he was worthy of the original owner. It's just that emotionally disappointed Aya and the others, he can't do anything.

Especially the parents of the original owner, although the indigenous men will move out of the family and live independently when they become adults, and the contact with their parents and elders is usually sparse to almost none, this does not mean that other parents can accept that they will not be able to see their own bones again in this life!

With a heavy expression on his face, Ling rubbed his head and thought, why don't you get out of the public pension system before leaving? In this way, he will not have to worry about the pension of the original owner's parents. Well, the most important thing is that the guilt in his heart can be lighter.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that my idea is feasible, and I can't wait to convene the main personnel now to discuss the issue of pension for the elderly. As for the opposition? He never thought about it. After all, who hasn't grown old?

Besides, Lin Qingqing's side, before dawn the next day, thirty-four men came out of the tent, simply rubbed their faces with the seawater to wake up, and took their tools and started working.

The team was still divided into two teams, one team dug a ditch to fill the salt pans, and the other team found another place to continue digging the salt pans.

Lin Qingqing camped outside for the first time in her life, and there was no one to rely on. Naturally, I slept very lightly, and at the slightest movement, the person woke up.

The men walked over with a hula and accidentally kicked over a basket on the soles of their feet, and she heard the sound of the bones rolling out of the contents clearly.

Staring at the bottom of the dark tent, Lin Qingqing sighed lightly, pulled out his bones from under the pillow and pinned them to his body, then tidied up the animal skin skirt, and bent down to get out of the tent.

She took a handful of hay and stuffed it under the stove, turned sideways to block the sea breeze, and after a while she lit the fire, then poured water from the water bladder and began to cook the soup.

One of the men who worked noticed her sharply, and began to greet her with a raised hand.

Liang frowned, and said in his heart, didn't Ling say that he obediently sleeps until the sun basks every day before getting up? Why did you wake up before dawn today?

After thinking about it for a long time, I also thought about something. Liang grabbed his messy hair and strode towards Lin Qingqing. Reaching out and snatching the hard dried meat in her hand, Liang roared in a hoarse voice: "Qingqing, it's not dawn yet, don't be in a hurry to cook, you go back and rest first." ”

Lin Qingqing took out a few more pieces of jerky and threw them into the pot, then squatted down and added a fire to the stove before answering Liang's question. After all, this guy was impatient, and she was afraid that he would turn the pot off impulsively......

"I'm not tired, I don't have to rest. Besides, you're all getting to work, I'll cook early, and you can pad your stomach early. "Working on a hungry stomach or something, I can't stand it the most!

After sending Liang away, Lin Qingqing really started to get busy.

Breakfast is very important, and you have to work all morning in the morning, and you will definitely not be able to hold it up by drinking broth alone. Lin Qingqing glanced at the ingredients left and right, and found that there was nothing but dried meat and dried fish!

Suddenly, she wilted. Now it's okay, what should I do?

Don't think about the seafood, she doesn't dare to go to the beach when it's dark. Beast prey on the mountain? This can be there!

"Rubbing" ran over and whispered a few words to Liang, and Liang shouted a few words to quiet everyone down. "You have to do the work, and you have to eat. From today onwards, we will take turns going out to hunt every morning. No matter how many things there are, at least there are them, right? (To be continued......)
