Volume 1 Chapter 72 Ordinary Days I

At the beginning of June, another typhoon passed, and living at sea is like this, and you have to guard against the sudden arrival of a typhoon at any time!

Although I never welcome this villain, it always comes back every now and then, and it is disgusting and hectic at the same time!

The first few months of this year have passed, and I feel that the wind and rain are going well, and the days are relatively dull, and from the bottom of my heart I like this kind of ordinary life, and it is best to continue it forever......

The new typhoon worries me about the corn, the corn in the field is almost one meter high, at this time, I can't withstand the ravages of the typhoon, and I am afraid that the typhoon will knock all the corn to the ground!

Other crops are less worried, most of them grow underground, and even if the leaves on the plant are scraped to pieces, it will have little effect on the final yield.

The fish pond didn't pay attention to it, this season the sea fish is the best thing to get, the most worried is corn, but it is also the most powerless, I have no way to do this, I can only pray that the typhoon will show mercy!

On the other hand, I was not idle, and began to put all kinds of things outside the house into the room, prepare firewood for about two days, fill the water tank in the kitchen with water, and put food for the chickens and sheep for two days.

Then you can only stay quietly in the room and wait for the arrival of the typhoon, and accept its arrangement!

What I didn't expect was that the wind was very small this time, and even when it was at its maximum, I would hear the sound of the wind "whirring" outside, but after a certain level, the wind did not increase and I was surprised for a long time.

I don't know if it's because the eye of the storm is far away from here, or if the typhoon hasn't been fully formed shortly after it happened, anyway, the time I can't go out in the room is only about a day, and the whole process can only be said to be frightening, not even frightened.

This typhoon is the most influential, except for blowing down dozens of corn trees, no other impact has been found, and there is no typhoon at all!

......

I have to say that the recent typhoons have not been very powerful, which makes me feel a little contemptuous of them, or maybe I have been lucky recently, and I have turned evil into good fortune!

After the typhoon, the temperature rose rapidly, and the summer high temperature pattern officially began, and the difficult two or three months came.

As a sign of my appreciation for summer, I had to make a new fan out of new materials, and the straw mats were washed and dried so that they would be ready for use immediately.

Compared to sitting in an air-conditioned room in the city in summer, no matter how bad it is, there is a fan blowing, it is really not good to walk around in the sun, and you will bring an umbrella to protect yourself from the sun, which is much more miserable here!

I don't have any current equipment to cool me down, and I'm glad I haven't had heat stroke for at least a few hours a day!

In my spare time, I have a lot of new ideas, and this time I want to do something crooked, mainly to improve the way I catch seafood.

I love seafood, especially high-end ingredients like lobster and abalone, which have a unique texture and taste compared to corn, peanuts, etc.

However, every time you go to the sea to catch seafood, it is not only extremely inefficient, especially if you have to go up to the sea surface to ventilate every minute or so, which delays a lot of time and physical strength!

I can only last for an hour or two when I go to the sea, and during this time, I have to remove the time for ventilation and rest, so the amount of seafood caught each time is not too much, so I have the idea of changing the way I breathe.

It's a pity that I haven't found a plastic tube on the beach, otherwise I would have been able to use the plastic tube to stick one end out of the water and breathe the other end in my mouth, modern products are always easier to use, and much better to use!

Similar plant materials can be substituted without being found, and bamboo is supposed to be the best substitute, but the poverty of the island is so weeping that even bamboo does not exist.

The consolation is that there are one or two bamboo-like plants on the island that are not bad and should be a good substitute!

They are about the same thickness as a thumb, with a hollow part the thickness of chopsticks in the middle, and unlike bamboo, which has knots every few tens of centimeters, it is completely from the beginning to the end.

......

The plant is like a vine and likes to climb up mountain walls or trees, often more than several meters in length.

However, the shallow sea where seafood is caught is only two meters deep on average, so it is only a little more than two meters long, so this material is very worry-free.

After a simple treatment, I tested its practicality on the shore and found that it was relatively smooth to breathe, and there should not be much of a problem in terms of practicality.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", the results of the experiment have added a lot of confidence to me, and after having a sharp tool, I have the determination and courage to do a big job today!

Carrying a large bucket, I first tied one end of the hollow tube to the swimming ring, and the other end was held in my mouth for ventilation.

This way I can stay at the bottom of the sea all the time, and only surface when I take a break and pick up something, and the time I spend at the bottom of the sea is greatly increased, and the probability of finding something naturally increases a lot!

The first place I went to was the crevice where I found a nest of lobsters last time, and of course the plot was very obvious, just to catch lobsters again, but it seems that they moved after I was frightened last time, and there are only a few small fish left!

At first, staying at the bottom of the sea for a long time made people not very comfortable, not only felt depressed, but also couldn't sink to the bottom from time to time, so I also tied a stone of one or two catties to my body to gain weight.

As time went by, after getting used to being at the bottom of the sea for a long time, my mind began to become calmer, my skills became more proficient, and the blessing of the new tools really doubled the efficiency compared to before!

I found an abalone in less than three minutes after I went to sea, and within 20 minutes my backpack was full of sea cucumbers, abalone, and clams.

......

This amount would have been estimated to be the next harvest of the sea, but today it took only twenty minutes, and I had to return to the shore and pour into the vats prepared in advance, rest for a few minutes, and then jump into the sea again.

An hour and a half later, I went ashore, and although playing in the shallow sea didn't seem to have any effect, in fact, there was a certain amount of water pressure inside, and I still had some uncomfortable symptoms after staying in the body for a long time, especially my eyes.

I have to say that today's harvest is very huge, all kinds of seafood are almost thirty or forty catties, the amount of one time can be worth the previous two times, unfortunately only did not catch lobsters, the only one I saw escaped.

Today I feel like I've found a treasure, but it's a pity that the equipment is still too bad, so that the strength is only about half of it......

If you have modern professional diving equipment, coupled with the assistance of lighting, I think it will be easy to catch 100 catties of seafood in two hours!

It's a pity not to find a lobster, but finding a lot of abalone makes up for this little regret, after all, the days ahead are still very long, and it's not a ship at sea that misses it and leaves, there are still many opportunities!

The harvest is huge and not without a price, the most injured thing about working under the sea is the eye, and the feeling is not very obvious at the bottom of the sea, and the sequelae of drying up the sea water on the shore are manifested.

Now my eyes are red and swollen, and I am still crying from time to time, which is not a good sign, but when I got home, I first took a shower with fresh water and soaked my eyes in fresh water for a while, and the situation improved.

It seems that today's net working hours are a bit excessive, and the time should be controlled within an hour in the future, and the situation is estimated to be better!

Of course, the joy of the harvest is indispensable to a sumptuous seafood feast, otherwise I am sorry for working so hard to go to the sea, and the seafood just caught is also the freshest.

The evening was a seafood feast, with a stir-fried sea cucumber, steamed abalone, and a bowl of seafood soup that whetted the appetite, and it was a long time since I had such a good time eating it as tonight.

......

Another piece of good news is that the greens have finally grown almost now, and the sheep's food can also be used on top of the greens, so they don't have to go to the woods to cut the grass for them every day, and they can use an extra hour or two.

After the first few days of anxiety and noise, the pheasants have adapted to the new environment, and they are not like the beginning when they have to go to the fishing nets from time to time to rescue the chickens, they are beginning to become peaceful.

It is estimated that they are also deeply aware that compared to the precarious days in the past, they went out early and returned late every day to find food, and now there are two-legged beasts on time to bring them corn and vegetable leaves.

The daily task is to eat, sleep and bask in the sun, and life is simply comfortable!

The supply of eggs has gradually stabilized with the stabilization of pheasants, with at least one egg per day and occasionally two eggs a day.

It's fun to be able to make sure you eat an egg every day, and you feel like your body is a lot healthier because of the nutrients provided by eggs.

It's just that the number of pheasants is still relatively small, and the eggs are enough for me to eat for the time being, and it is not easy to eat chicken, and the number of five or six is reluctant to kill, so I can only expand the scale of breeding.

With my current conditions and grain production, I think it would be more appropriate to double their size or so, so that the egg production can be doubled, and a chicken can be eaten every one or two months.

Of course, this can only be done in autumn and winter, and now the weather is hot so that the eggs will be spoiled in less than half a month, and the eggs can only be stored and hatched when the temperature is low.

And just as I was thinking about expanding the number of chickens, I suddenly heard a huge roar in the sky, a sound that was very familiar to me!

I quickly rushed to the middle of the clearing and looked into the sky, hoping to see it, even if it was just to satisfy my curiosity.

When my eyes were so bright that I couldn't open them, I finally saw the figure of the plane not far overhead, a large passenger plane!

It's just that it looks so far away from me, and it disappears in a moment, and it is inevitable that the waves that have just risen in my heart will become a pool of stagnant water in a moment!
