Volume 1 Chapter 92 Another Typhoon Part I
This fish is not only big, but it is also rare to see in the species I usually fish, a bit like the blue-spotted mackerel, and it is not surprising to know that its species recalls the process just now, this is a fierce carnivorous fish with a rather short temper!
And the teeth are sharp, and it is a great luck in misfortune that the fishing line is not bitten, but the hook may only be taken out after disemboweling.
The meat of the blue-spotted mackerel is delicate, delicious and nutritious, especially for treating anemia and malnutrition.
The folk evaluation of it is even more "the mountain has partridge roe deer, the sea mackerel pomfret" such an appreciation, it seems that this more than half an hour of hard work is not in vain, at least the harvest is worthy of my sweat!
I didn't let it move on the ground anymore, I just took out the dagger and killed it, this ferocious fish meat can't be kept in the fish pond, otherwise the fish inside will suffer!
What's more, the hook is hung very tightly, and my hand does not dare to reach into its mouth, I can only remove the hook after killing, it doesn't matter if I can't eat it, this kind of fish is also a good material for making dried fish, and the taste after making dried fish is not bad.
Unfortunately, the temperature is too high now, and I can only taste such a high-quality fish, and the rest can only be made into dried fish, otherwise the fish will spoil overnight, and its meat will not be fresh and there will be toxins, I don't want to be poisoned to death......
This dinner is especially hearty, with not only steamed fish, but also grilled fish, stewed fish.
Now there is a big benefit after peanut oil, the dried fish is finally not as unpalatable as before, and the fried dried fish is not delicious, but it also belongs to a different flavor!
......
In October, after a period of air drying, the pottery is ready for firing.
This time the number was smaller, and none of the kilns were full, but what I didn't expect was that the success rate was surprisingly high, only one pottery bowl was damaged, and one other pottery pot had a gap, and everything else was intact.
So I also harvested one clay bowl and two clay pots, barely counting six clay pots, which suddenly made the room more containers, and it just so happened that the clay pots and clay pots used now were dealing with the edges of collapse.
You don't have to worry too much about squeezing space, and after a while, there will be a few fewer of them......
All kinds of crops are growing, and there is only a month before the first corn harvest, and I use a small plot to grow the seeds of the next season, or it will not be long before all the vegetables of this season are finished.
The other crops didn't make me feel as lush as I used to, and they were basically a little malnourished.
This feeling is very obvious, for example, in the same 100-day growth period, the average height of the whole last year can grow to 50 cm, but this year it is generally only 40 cm, the difference is clear at a glance!
There's not much I can do, it's always the impact of the environment, it's not something I can completely reverse, I just sprinkle the sheep manure and manure that is in the manure pit with water and sprinkle it into the ground, hoping to increase the fertility in the most important period before maturity!
The temperature in October finally cooled down a bit, and I basically returned to normal life, and I could go out all day instead of hiding in the house to cool off!
Today I plan to go to the beach to patrol the island, the temperature in the woods is still relatively high, the air is not well circulated and it is quite stuffy inside, I am not very happy to go in, the sea is much cooler with the sea breeze.
After a long time on the island, I didn't look forward to finding supplies on the beach as much as I did at the beginning, and it was a surprise to be able to pick up something, and it was expected that there would be nothing, and today's harvest was expected.
In addition to two plastic bottles, I picked up a slipper that could barely cope with a few days, but the situation in the sky in the distance made my heart "chuckle"!
Looking at the dark clouds that are slowly approaching, and connecting with the signs before so many typhoons, I have an ominous premonition!
......
Originally, I thought that the time was already in mid-October, and this year's suffering was basically over, and as the temperature dropped, there should be no more extreme weather, and the number of typhoons almost twice as many as in previous years should stop!
However, this optimistic idea of my own did not get the support of God, and as soon as I was not careful, another typhoon sprung up, and reality gave me a resounding slap in the face again!
Although I was expecting it to be just what it was before the rain, as the wind increased, the symptoms before the typhoon came, and finally the dark clouds in the sky, the conclusion was undoubtedly that the typhoon was indeed coming.
Sometimes there is something wonderful about the sixth sense, which seems to be just a conscious feeling and speculation, without any basis or evidence, and the results are often quite accurate.
The symptoms of this typhoon were the same as usual, but I always felt that it was unusual, and it seemed that it had the tremendous destructive power of the typhoon that destroyed the houses in the first place, and this feeling was getting stronger and stronger......
There was still a long time before the typhoon officially registered, but I had to start various countermeasures due to my psychological premonition, first of all, I reinforced the area around the fish pond and brought two kills of fish home to eat.
After that, we moved everything from the outside of the house into the house, filled the water tank, and so on, just like we normally do when a typhoon comes.
It may be close to a day before the typhoon winds increase so strongly that I can't go out, but this time because I found it early, there was still plenty of time.
......
The corn in the field was the number one victim, and I was worried that there would be no harvest, so I could only make stakes in the corn field as much as possible, one every few meters, and clamp the rows of corn in it with long wooden sticks on both sides.
In order to be safe, I even tied two layers at a height of 1 meter and 1.5 meters respectively, but this is much less efficient, but the effect is absolutely trustworthy.
Until the typhoon's winds increased significantly, I only reinforced less than 500 corn plants.
This is already the limit of what I can do, and I just hope that the hundreds of corn plants on the windward side of the typhoon will be fixed to provide shelter for the corn that is not fixed in the rear, so that they can pass smoothly.
In addition, I began to check the firmness of the fishing nets of the sheepfold and the chicken pen, at this time, a little carelessness can make me lose a lot, and sure enough, I found that the fishing net of the chicken pen is loose, if I don't find it at this time, the chickens inside are likely to escape during the typhoon, so I secretly said that it is very dangerous!
The wind continued to increase, and I didn't have much time left to move outside, so I cut a few large bundles of sweet potato vines and threw them to the sheep, and threw two or three catties of corn to a few chickens.
At this time, I was not idle, but took advantage of the wind not too strong to step up the food of the past two days, especially fried dried fish, which can be stored for a few days without worrying about spoilage.
Originally, the preparation of food should have been carried out a long time ago, but in order to keep as many corn as possible, I have been busy until now, and I only hope that the nearly one day of work is worth it!
While preparing the food, I was still thinking about where there was something to forget, and finally I thought that there was still a clay pot of boiling water, otherwise I would have to drink raw water for the next two days, although the impact was not great, but I was also afraid of health problems.
When I prepared the fire and food and the fire in the stove was extinguished, it was almost dark, and this typhoon came by a little coincidence, and the daytime was basically not occupied!
The wind did not increase very quickly, and there was no strong wind throughout the night, but the wind blew through the gap and blew into the room to make me feel very cool, and the expected insomnia did not occur, but I slept very well!
......
When I woke up the next morning, the wind outside was relatively strong, and I could only hear the sound of "whirring" in both ears, and it was very noisy after listening to it for a long time.
I was worried, worried that it would cause irreparable damage to me like the super typhoon in the second year on the island, and even blow my house down again, and it would be very desperate once!
It's really boring to not be able to go out all day during the day, and with the increase in wind and psychological worries, it is even more difficult to fall asleep, so you can only stay in your room in a daze.
It wasn't until later that I simply peeled peanuts at home, and I have to say that having something on hand is undoubtedly the best way to pass the time, at least not to get bored!
This activity continued until dark, and the quality of sleep tonight was undoubtedly a world away from the good sleep of last night, and I barely slept through the night.
Part of it was the noise of the wind outside, which made it so loud that the whole ear was "buzzing", and the other part was restless, worried about various crops, especially corn!
One-person tall corn will definitely not be able to resist this kind of typhoon, even if I reinforce hundreds of plants, I dare not have any guarantees, when the typhoon is strong, even a car can blow into the sky, let alone a small corn!
Unlike the previous typhoons this year, this time I was in a very solemn mood, and deep down I didn't even have any expectations for this year's grain harvest......
I don't know the exact time, but after repeated tossing and turning in the first half of the night, I still fell asleep in the early morning, adapted to the wind outside, and then put a few sheepskins on my head to isolate the noise, which was not bad, and the sound was reduced by half at once.
When I woke up in the morning, I picked off the wool covering my head and heard the sound of the wind howling outside, and now the sound can really be described as "deafening" compared to yesterday!
Outside, I could hear the occasional sound of the trees being blown off, but I didn't know how far the center of the typhoon was from me, and I just hoped that it was the strongest wind, because I could still withstand it.
This time the time passed quite slowly, much slower than the previous two or three days, and today is the third day, and I feel that the wind outside is still increasing.
This is not good news for me, which means that I may be in my room for four or five days, and even the clay pot I use to go to the toilet is full.
There is no special point in worrying about all kinds of crops, chickens and sheep, etc., because no amount of thinking about it can change the result.
Instead, I was worried that the typhoon would last too long and make me hungry, after all, I had only prepared food for about three days, and with the current situation, I might be hungry tomorrow!
