Volume 1 Chapter 56 Fruitful Harvest

Potatoes are a good thing, it turns out to be the fourth largest staple food after rice, wheat, and corn, and can also be used as a daily vegetable, which can provide a lot of heat to the human body, and can be called "perfect food".

What's more, it is rich in nutrients, has a long storage time, and is not only highly productive when planted in the ground, but also has a very strong ability to resist typhoons, and there is almost no need to worry about how much damage it will be caused by typhoons.

It can also be made into potato chips, which only need to be cut into thin slices and dried all year round, and when I saw it, I was unconsciously thinking about the great changes that the food in the future because of potatoes......

I loved a few potatoes, carefully packed them into the basket, and continued to select other items that could be used.

The other cabins found even less, only a fire axe, a normal blanket, five stained clothes, and two pants, two of which were short-sleeved, but the problem of no clothes in winter was at least solved, even if the size was not suitable, it could be changed later!

One of the things that people can't figure out is that I didn't find the quilt, which is something I've always wanted with all my heart, and I thought it would be on the boat, but it turned out to be quite disappointing......

Needless to say, the importance of quilts is needless to say, just one quilt can make me live a very pleasant winter, not only can I say goodbye to hay completely, but I don't know how many grades of comfort will be improved.

It's not bad to have a blanket in retreat, and with the combination of wool blankets, it can basically meet the minimum requirements of winter!

In the end, a bottle of diesel fuel leaked to the ground was filled with a five-pound plastic bottle on the ground at the stern, and at first I wanted to fill several large-capacity plastic bottles with diesel, but I thought about it or did not implement it.

Diesel is not so important in the absence of a machine, it is good to use it for lubrication or rust removal, and two large plastic bottles mean a little more to me, and they can no longer be used to hold fresh water after being polluted by diesel.

In addition, I found wrenches and other tools for repairs on the ship, which were of less use to me, and I couldn't even use the material, because the alloy material couldn't melt at all.

Another thing worth mentioning is the rope, I found ropes of various materials and sizes on the boat, although they are not as long as the original rope, but they can solve my problem of lack of rope.

......

Since I didn't bring a fire fold, the overall darkness inside the ship made my eyesight deteriorate greatly, and I can't rule out missing out on small but very valuable items, so I should remind myself to bring a torch the next time I visit.

The rest is of little value, and the pure metal hull looks extremely tempting, but I have no way to do it.

Of course, there are still a lot of iron products on board, but it takes a lot of time to disassemble them slowly.

This activity may be postponed for a long time, and the first thing I lack most is time, and the smell is unacceptable.

I couldn't take it off for a while, and there were already a lot of things on the ground, so I couldn't pick up sesame seeds and lost watermelons, so I had to start returning when it was dark on the beach.

There are really not many useful things, at least compared to the expectations of them before they get on the ship, of course, this is only a small idea of the mind, and their importance cannot be denied.

After a simple rinse of seawater on the beach, I moved them all into the hut next to the cave in just two round-trips.

It was getting dark, and I had only a few minutes to rest back in the cave and I lit the fire first, which was customary to make dinner, but it was canceled for today.

In fact, the meaning expressed in his stomach was very hungry, he hardly ate anything in the morning and was busy until dark, and the few things in his stomach fell into the boat.

It's just that smelling the smell of stinky fish and rotten shrimp for a long time up close is really a kind of destruction to people's bodies and minds, and now I don't have the appetite to eat anything at all, even if it is a gluttonous feast in front of me, I may be indifferent!!

While sitting on the fire, I remembered an old saying, called "Fortune and misfortune lie in wait, and misfortune and fortune rely on"! It was a fitting application for this encounter.

This typhoon caused me huge losses and almost lost my life, but at the same time, I sent a relatively large amount of supplies, and my heart was not as resentful as it was in the first few days......

Although the things brought can bring a certain convenience to life, but the potatoes and fishing boats that I like the most are the most valuable things this time, and the role of other items is much weaker.

......

Many of the parts and utensils on the fishing boat are made of iron, and when it is necessary to refine iron in the future, there is no longer a need to buckle the rope as before.

In addition to the fact that machines can't make them, most of the metal tools that I wanted before can be fully satisfied!

It doesn't take too long, and even just a few years ago, you can basically do "shotguns for guns" in terms of tools, which is exciting to think about.

The quality of sleep this night was extremely poor, and the reason may be that in addition to the thought of getting so many items today makes me feel excited, the bigger reason is hunger, which is really a great challenge to people's will.

The next morning I got up at dawn and started cooking, faster than I had done before, and the night was so hungry.

After eating, I finally didn't feel hungry, so I planned to go to the ship again, because there must be something missing inside, and almost all the iron tools were on board, but thinking about the stench inside and the recent need for iron tools, it was not urgent.

For all these reasons, I delayed for a while, and I really didn't have the courage to face the unacceptable smell of the cabin yesterday, especially in the enclosed space, where there was almost no fresh air entering!

Recently, I have been busy dealing with the aftermath of the typhoon, and there is a lack of care for the sheep, and the condition of the sheep is not very good, especially in terms of body shape.

Compared to before the typhoon, not only did it not grow up, but it even had a downward trend in size, and it was obvious that the food side did not keep up.

First of all, I mixed three or four catties of cornmeal with water and fed them one by one, and then today I mainly cut more grass, it seems that they have never eaten enough since the typhoon.

After a few months of breeding, several sheep have become more docile from the wild at the beginning, and they even want to attack when they first enter the enclosure, but now they almost don't.

......

From the beginning of the strangeness to familiar, now I can basically touch, especially the three lambs this year, I have often played with them since I was a child, and I am happy to let me pet them.

At first, I was worried about whether a few sheep would get sick due to the typhoon, but if it did, I thought the consequences would be conceivable, but fortunately, my worries did not come true.

I stopped until I had to cut five sheaves of grass for the sheep, they were animals with little self-control, and I was afraid that if I didn't provide them with unlimited food, they would swell themselves to death!

In my spare time, I planted three potatoes in the ground, they have already sprouted, and it is better to plant them in the ground and expand the scale as soon as possible than to worry about them at home, and it is the right time to plant the sprouted potatoes in the ground.

Potatoes are the most important thing for me now, and they are directly related to the standard of living in the future!

The cultivation of potatoes is also relatively simple, directly cut it into pieces and throw it into the dug hole, and add grass ash and a certain amount of sheep manure as fertilizer, after covering the soil, there is almost no need to care about it to grow freely, after all, it is not as squeamish as corn.

With the new modern metal wok and the seasoning of the chicken bouillon, the food made today can only be described as delicious.

In particular, the addition of chicken essence has improved the freshness of the ingredients by several grades, I haven't eaten and drunk so much for a long time, and every meal let me eat until my stomach is round, even if I can't fit it, it is full of regrets!

On the third day, after the typhoon, the sunny weather had been maintained for almost ten days, and the rain finally fell today, and I was worried that the well water would not be enough again.

Of course, a rainy day is idle, and when there is nothing to do, it is to rest and sleep, but today there is no way to be lazy.

There are too many things on hand, first of all, I have to take a bath for my dirty self, and then I have to clean the dirty items one by one.

These items include several pieces of clothing and some items soiled by the typhoon, as well as newly acquired supplies from fishing boats.

......

Although they are simply washed in the sea before taking them home, things such as clothes must be washed with fresh water before they can be worn on the body.

It rained for two days, and I didn't sit idle except for cleaning things, but took a hoe and a hat to the mountain to make the mud needed to make bricks, and this time the rain was not too heavy, so I didn't have to worry about the mud being lost due to a lot of rain.

Of course, when it rains, the mud will definitely be very thin, but it does not affect much, and the mud that is very delicate only needs one or two suns to dry up a little and can be used directly, which can undoubtedly save a lot of time compared to adjusting the mud after the weather is clear.

Before I knew it, time passed very quickly, and when I recorded the time, I found out that it was already the beginning of October, and although the weather in October was still hot, it was also "grasshoppers after autumn, and it couldn't be bounced for a few days"!

It won't be long before the temperature drops quickly, and I don't have much time left, and I don't want to live in an open cave in the winter, and I can't accept it when I think about it.

After the rain and sunny weather, I began to devote myself to the high-intensity construction project, and spent most of the day making bricks and tiles.

It turned out that I was very quick to concentrate on one thing, and after two weeks I took a break from the brick and tile making work, during which I spent ten days working without distractions, except for the weather and other factors.

The bricks and tiles have been stacked into rows of walls, and it is very rewarding to look at it, and at the same time, I feel that the materials needed for the first room are basically the same.

In addition, the 1,000 pieces made before the fishing boat was first found, and now there are more than 3,000 bricks that have been made successively.

The number of tiles is relatively small, but about 2,000 pieces have been made, because the area of the house has been measured, and there is basically no problem with the materials made of the first room.

Compared with the rustiness at the beginning, as the technology becomes more and more proficient, the output has also increased significantly compared to the beginning, and it can basically make 450 to 500 bricks a day!

It's just that tiles are more difficult to make than bricks, and I can only make about 400 tiles a day on average, and I thought it would take longer to make bricks before I started.

For the time being, I don't plan to make more finished products, and I have no place to put my feet on the ready-made ones that have been stacked within dozens of meters around, so I am worried about whether they will not be able to be used when building a house in the future.
