Finally, I have a decent kitchen, which is a good aspect, and I don't have to be so aggrieved when I cook and eat in the future, and I can enjoy three meals a day in a dignified way like a modern person!

But the bad news is that there is not much food, and the delay in building the house is too long.

The blind consumption has not been replenished, and it has reached the lowest red line, and the first thing to do in the next period of time is to go out and find ingredients to alleviate the shortage of food.

This situation can be fundamentally solved by only holding on to the earliest corn harvest, and this year's conservative estimate is that there is a yield of more than 500 catties, which makes people happy to think about it.

The staple food is consumed too quickly, the pressure increases a lot, the sweet potatoes and cassava are all consumed, the peanuts are still about 50 catties, and the corn is only about 100 catties.

Of course, strictly speaking, these foods, plus the sweet potato leaves and greens that grow later, supplemented by some fish and seafood, are perfectly fine until the corn harvest, but from the harsh degree of the environment, I do not agree with this unforward-looking plan!

My requirement is to keep at home enough food for at least a month, so that I can face various challenges.

At least it won't be like when I did things every two days in the early days of the island and then set out to find food, and after one day, I don't want to go through it a second time!

......

However, before I set out to find ingredients, I was going to plant the cassava, and the rhizomes of the cassava that I dug up some time ago were all thrown by me to the side of the cave and piled up.

But after so many days, not only did it not dry up, but it sprouted, and it was really the season of spring.

The long growth cycle of cassava has caused it to fall out of favor, and its role may be further reduced when the yield of sweet potatoes rises in the future, but thinking of the help it has helped me with this house collapse, I think it is still necessary to plant some.

No one can guarantee that there will be no more situations like the last time in the future, and there is always no shortage of coincidences and accidents in this world!

Cassava is still planted in dozens of square meters of vegetable fields near the cave, and while planting cassava, I also collected a lot of firewood and threw it into the cave for storage, and removed all the newly grown plants and small saplings nearby.

I don't usually come here anymore, so I come here and do a few things together, and a big ball of dirt has collapsed in the cave again, but the chance of me returning to the cave in the future is infinitely close to zero, so I don't have to care as much as before!

It's like a couple who broke up, I used to only have you in my eyes, and I cared about your every move very much, but after the breakup, no matter what you do, I just watched from the sidelines, or pretended not to see it, because we didn't have anything to do with each other......

Cassava seeds are the rhizomes that sprout next to the open field, and after the soil is loosened and sorted out, the planting of the roots into the ground is completed, and it is just a perfunctory matter to sprinkle a little plant ash.

After using an iron hoe, it became easier and more efficient, and it took only two days to replant the entire field, so I could concentrate on finding ingredients.

......

The first day of work was desperate, because before I went to the sea to fish, I suddenly realized that the fish pond was still empty, so the first thing to do was to refill the fish pond with seawater, otherwise I would only dry the fish in the unpalatable dry if I caught more fish.

The experience of being tired like a dog was repeated again and again, which made people want to cry without tears, but they had to toss between the fish pond and the sea water again and again, but fortunately, after thirty or forty round-trips, there was already more than half of the water in it.

Feeding a hundred pounds of fish is no longer a problem, plus the rain supplement and the occasional bucket I carry is about the same.

The next day I went straight to the sea, and the fish as the most stable and abundant source of food must be the first thing I choose when looking for ingredients, but the first time I go to the sea every year is always so difficult.

At the beginning of May, the sea was still cold, and I hadn't been in cold water for a long time, so I got used to life and temperature on land, and the first minute I went down to the sea was very sour.

Even so, this year's first net failed to live up to my expectations, and only three or five catties of fish were caught in one net, which was not enough for my hard work.

What is even more desperate is that the second net in the afternoon only caught five or six catties of fish, and the two nets combined only caught ten catties, and the results of the new beginning of the year are not very good!

It is comforting that in the hours between fishing, I dug up three or four catties of leeches and picked up two catties of conch on the beach, and although the yield today is not high, the varieties are quite abundant.

I went to the sea every day for the next three days, and finally the next two days did not disappoint me, one of which was almost forty pounds, which suddenly made me smile and forget the depression of the first day, which also has a few high-end ingredients!

After a few days of hard work, the fish pond was filled again, and there were about 100 catties of marine fish in it, and the rest of the harvest was five catties of oysters and some seafood.

......

Among all the harvests, lobsters are the deepest in my heart, and these days the ghost has sent a shallow position to catch seafood in the sea, although the sea is still very cold, but the harvest is unexpectedly rich.

In addition to the common sea cucumbers, clams, sea urchins, etc., I also caught more than 10 abalone and two lobsters, and I had not tasted lobsters for a long time, and I almost couldn't suppress my excitement when I caught them on the bottom of the sea.

The sight of them was also quite magical, and while I was concentrating on searching the bottom of the sea, I suddenly noticed something moving in some strange crevices in the seabed.

At first, I thought it was a sea fish hiding inside, and I didn't care at all, because I only had a pointed stick in my hand and wanted to catch fish at the bottom of the sea, but I didn't think I had the ability.

However, when I had just moved forward about half a meter, a shrimp leg came out of the gap!

I was surprised and strange at the same time, it was as if it had seduceed me after watching me swim away, so I fulfilled its request and immediately turned around and swam back, and after surfacing to breathe, I stabbed the sharp wooden stick in my hand into the gap and stirred.

Finding food doesn't require it to reach your hand in its entirety, especially if it's a slippery animal, unlike a coconut mango that's dropped on the ground waiting for you to pick it up.

In order to make them immobile and successful, sometimes it is normal for them to be missing arms and legs, and it is good luck to catch them!

At first, I thought there was only one lobster inside, but because the view of the seabed was not good, I could only see it vaguely, and it was very primitive to observe with the naked eye in the seawater, and I couldn't even open my eyes completely, so I often made mistakes in judgment.

I frightened them under my movements, so that the lobsters inside suddenly rushed out like a goddess scattering flowers, it was very spectacular, conservatively estimated that there were more than a dozen, and it also made me feel very distressed to see this scene!

Fortunately, the first few sticks that were pierced into it did not do any useless work, and two lobsters were injured by me and did not escape the clutches, so I am very satisfied with the result, and I can eat delicious lobsters again in the evening!

......

Although the harvest of several days of continuous sea is quite fruitful, it also tires people enough, and I don't plan to go to the sea again in the next few days, in addition to making two bottles of oyster sauce at home, my figure appeared in the woods.

This season has basically taken shape, and if there are any new varieties of crops, I can also find them, but the results are not ideal, except for some medicinal herbs, a large handful of leaves.

It's not an ordinary leaf, it's a leaf that can be used for cooking like a toon, but I can't name it, but it's very appetizing to look at the tender green anyway.

There were also some road closures in the woods, and I had to clear the path I usually walked on, and the weeds grew too fast!

What people didn't expect was that in the process of removing weeds, two coconuts were found under the coconut tree, and it seems that the forest is still the same wood, full of all kinds of treasures and surprises!

Before I set off, I was confident that there would be new crop seeds in the woods, but after two days, I didn't find anything but a little food, but the sweet potato seedlings were transplanted into the ground day by day.

After nearly two months of growth, the sweet potato seedlings have a length of one meter, and the growth is very good.

There are precautions for transplanting sweet potatoes, it is best to have the best conditions when the soil is soft after rain, and it is easy to plant it in sunny weather.

The 200-square-meter area was transplanted in less than a day, which also marks the end of this year's planting work, except for the occasional trip to the field to clean up weeds, there is no need to be busy in the field before the corn is ripe and harvested.

......

Now that I can finally take a break, I can let go of myself without any pressure, and in addition to the extravagant activities of daily sheep teasing and napping, I once again grabbed my fishing rod and went to the beach.

The last time I fished seemed to be before the collapse of the house last year, and I have been busy since I started making bricks and tiles, and I haven't caught a fish again, and even the rod feels rusty.

Fishing at the beach in this season has to be said to be a beautiful thing, the temperature is suitable, the sun is not fierce, everywhere is lush green, sitting on the reef while fishing while enjoying the beautiful scenery around, it can be said to be a complete enjoyment!

Fishing is only secondary, relaxation is the main thing, so the fish may also know what I mean, and after two or three days of fishing, they only caught twenty or thirty catties, and there is not a single big fish.

By the way, I brought back the fishing net I found at the beach half a month ago, and I don't know what to do with it, but after cutting off the holes, there are still more than 100 meters in length that can be used.

After ten days and half a month, I had a rare time on the island, and I had to be busy boiling salt again, and the eight bags of salt I got from the stranded fishing boat were still used up after eating them for so long, and after wasting them with pickled mutton and catching bamboo leeches!

At the same time as the salt ran out, the chicken essence was also exhausted as early as last month, and now I have to live a do-it-yourself life again, but fortunately, I still have the only lighter I have kept, although the gas in it is only about half.

But I also keep it very well as a treasure, and the opportunity to use it is mainly when two or three fire folds can't work at the same time, so the frequency is very low, and it is not a problem to use it for a year or two.

The consumable of the fire fold is also very troublesome, not only do you have to replace the paper core inside every once in a while, but also the outer tube needs to be replaced once every two or three months.

I don't know how many batches of them have been replaced, and I still don't have much peace of mind, but there is no good way to change the current state for the time being......
