The meat produced by an adult sheep is still not small, and he will not have the luxury of eating mutton at every meal, and if he saves a little, he should be able to ensure that he will not kill the sheep again in three to five months.

The existing number of sheep obviously cannot afford to be slaughtered too often, unless they want to disappear from the island.

So if nothing else, the next sheep killing will at least wait until the Chinese New Year, and by the end of the year, the three lambs have grown into big sheep, and the next batch of lambs will also be in the belly of the ewe for a few months, plus the smooth growth of various crops.

Seeing that everything here is developing according to the plan I envisioned, not to mention carefree, ensuring a worry-free life is not so far away!

"Hiss~~~ Tut-tut"!

It's really fragrant......

I haven't been touched with meat for a long time, and I will inevitably eat fresh mutton again, and it is inevitable that I will eat and drink nonsense, and the fresh meat left behind will be made into lamb skewers, if there are two more bottles of cold beer, it will be really perfect!

It's just that this kind of opportunity is still too few, and the total number of fresh mutton you can eat in a year is only three or five meals, and most of the time you can only eat smoked meat and jerky, and it is inevitable that you will be poured a basin of cold water when you are happy!

A new sheepskin is drying outside, and it now has two sheepskins, the first one is usually used as a small quilt, covering the stomach at night to prevent cold, which is indeed much more convenient and comfortable than the previous hay.

After the new one was processed, I was thinking about their future fate, and the current debate was whether to sew two sheepskins into a sheepskin coat or to make a woolen blanket, both of which were very important to me.

Even though it stayed above five degrees at the coldest of last winter, a thin layer of clothing and a sweater that was still very warm made me cold enough.

The nature of being cold during the day and being cold at night is actually similar, you can still make a fire when it is too cold during the day, and you can only gnash your teeth in the haystack at night!

After thinking of the misery of winter, I still chose to make a wool blanket, which seems to be more miserable at night than during the day, and sleeping warmly can also reduce the frequency of colds.

On the surface, sleeping on the haystack is not worthy of my living class, but now I live in a villa with a sea view.

It's a shame to sleep in the haystack at night, and the haystack is not warm is secondary, and the meat is the most annoying root, often when you sleep soundly at night, you are woken up by hay with a small movement, so the sheepskin comes at the right time!

The area of two sheepskins to make a wool blanket is not enough, but it is acceptable to use it, so their ownership has been determined, and only the second sheepskin is finished.

Other problems will be solved one by one after a few months of sheep slaughter, and now it is a typical monk with more meat and less meat, just to see which aspect is more urgent.

After the mutton is processed, I am clearing all the weeds in the field, and pouring a certain amount of sheep manure and other manure into the roots of various crops after mixing it with water, in order to increase the yield, I have developed resistance to the smell of manure!

Looking at the green crops in this land, I thought that my current life would be greatly improved if I waited until they were all harvested, and I felt a sense of joy.

......

Life on the island is completely different from modern life, it is impossible to go to and from work every day, and it is always full of trivialities.

I haven't been around the island for more than ten days, and today I plan to go around and dig up some bamboo leeches by the way, at least I haven't dug up bamboo leeches for at least a month or two, and I miss its taste.

Due to the very hot weather now, I deliberately chose to get up at dawn and set off directly, and I was hungry and didn't even eat breakfast, so that I could go home at about 11 o'clock at the latest.

The hot weather is indeed a thing that makes me very helpless, and while I am tormented, I even have to choose a time to go out!

Now, in addition to the funny appearance, a strange piece of equipment has been added, a hand-cranked fan made of palm leaves, which has reached the point of basic fan inseparable, and is the best companion for cooling down in summer!

Although it was morning, the sun and the hot wind on the beach also covered my forehead and body with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and I even planned to reduce the frequency of my visits to the beach.

Unlike in the past, this time the harvest is relatively small but the portion is very heavy, find an empty paint bucket, this is a pillow when you fall asleep, just worry about the lack of iron at home, just send a paint bucket.

The weight of a paint bucket is two or three catties, and its condition is still relatively new, I believe that the problem of producing two catties of iron is not big, and it seems that two new tools can be made.

The bamboo leech is dug after returning from a tour of the island, and it is not only a waste of physical strength to dig it out in the morning and then take it around the island, but it may not be fresh to bring it back, but the choice of this time is not a good choice.

There are also people who dig about two pounds and I can't stand the heat and return, the empty beach is not sheltered at all, although from time to time there is a sea breeze blowing on my face, as if in a steamer.

In the afternoon, I was making molds for new tools, and with the new iron, I couldn't resist the urgency of wanting new tools, and each additional tool could greatly improve efficiency in the corresponding things, and I could have more time to be lazy!

The next morning, I connected the charcoal stove and bellows directly in the room, and flattened the paint bucket and melted it into molten iron, which was cooler than in the open-air work room outside.

This time the tools made a pair of scissors and a small hand saw, and I wanted a pair of scissors almost from the time I went to the island, but such a small request has not been met, and it has only been realized until now......

Saws have always been wanted, especially when they need planks or to level notches.

It's just that its size will only be used for the time being, and it may be rerefined to make it bigger when the iron reserves are more in the future.

The surplus of less than a pound of iron has not yet been thought of what to do, and the limited resources must be used to the cutting edge.

You can't use it as soon as your head is hot, and you can only be dumbfounded when you need it in the future, even if you retrain, it's more troublesome, and there is still loss!

......

It hasn't been long since the last typhoon, and the annoying typhoon has come again, and I am very uncomfortable with such frequent visits, even if I am a guest, I am not so diligent!

Having experienced two or three typhoons has given me a certain mental quality, and this time it seems that the level is a little smaller than the last time.

Of course, we do not take it lightly, and the preparation for such a near-catastrophic meteorological disaster cannot be overstated.

During the time I spent in my room, I was actually worried about the crops outside.

The impact of the typhoon is huge, and every time I come, it doesn't seem to give me a good life, and almost all of them have different degrees of loss.

I don't worry much about the rest, but now I only care about corn, and the tall corn stalks are the ones that can't withstand the wind, let alone the typhoon.

The good news is that the typhoon is very far away, except for the strong winds of less than 10 and the pouring rain, it did not even affect sleep, and I think the damage should be within a manageable range.

The next day I went out to check it or it was more worrying, a large piece of corn fell, almost about one-third, and I had to sigh at the tenacity of the other two-thirds, or it may be God's mercy to me, in short, there is no grain no harvest!

After checking that the fish pond was fine, I first lifted up the corn that had fallen to the ground, and as long as the fallen part was not broken, I tried to hold it up as much as possible, and made a tripod with small branches to support it.

It's just that the nearly 100 or so plants that have been broken are indeed hopeless and can only be fed to the sheep, and it is really distressing to look at, but there is nothing to be done!

The weather was very cool after the typhoon, and I love that there are two more rains to cool down this season, but it's so hot that I wake up almost several times every night.

Now the door is not closed at night, and it is carried with a few wooden sticks to allow some air circulation in the house.

I went to the beach first while the weather was cool, hoping that the typhoon would bring me something new, and this time it should be the most timely time to go!

Today it hurt my heart, I didn't even pick up a new plastic bottle, and I basically went out empty-handed and returned empty-handed.

Nothing to be found by the sea makes one want to regain some face in the woods.

The next day I went to the woods, and although the harvest was not large, I got at least five wild eggs, but I have not yet figured out how to catch the pheasants, because they fly in the sky.

In fact, I already had a plan to catch pheasants in my heart, but I have been considering the methods and needs of catching pheasants, and I am not urgent to postpone this plan.

There is still a big difference between chickens and sheep, most of its three meals a day will be grains, that is, corn, of course, sweet potatoes can be supplemented by some sweet potatoes after they are ripe in winter, but this needs to wait until they are ripe before they can consider catching pheasants.

The greens in the field have grown almost in the first season, and they will wither in another month at most, but in fact, they only eat a small part of them, and most of them go into the belly of the sheep.

It seems that it is a wise choice to increase the area to half an acre next season, but even then I am worried that it will not be enough!

......

In addition, the problem of Chinese medicinal materials such as dandelion and andrographis is that they do not have to wait for full maturity, most of them are dried and preserved when they are almost grown, and only a small part is used to collect seeds.

Although they are not very effective in curing diseases, they are indeed good medicine in the summer, and I will boil a pot of boiling water almost every day, and I have almost no negative effects such as fire after drinking them for a long time.

You must know that with my usual eating habits and ingredients, as well as the most critical hot weather, if it weren't for them, I would probably be so hot that my face was covered with long bags, and even serious to the point of mouth and tongue sores!

In the next three or four days, I disposed of the half acre of land for the next season's vegetable planting, mainly digging ditches and making the soil finer, so that there would be no large clods in the field to affect the growth of crops.

In addition, I dug a piece of land of two or three square meters in the woods as a seedling hemp, and now the temperature is too high, if the seeds are directly in the open field, they will be sunburned to death after almost emerging from the ground, which is not the result I want!
