There was nothing to say all night, and the preparations before the Chinese New Year have been almost done, so there is nothing to worry about!

When it is dawn again, it means that the day of the New Year has officially arrived.

It's still an ordinary day, but it means something different to me......

After getting up early and washing, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't brushed my teeth for nearly half a year since I went to the island, that is, I had to rinse my mouth after the fresh water was sufficient in the last two months, which is not a good habit, and I plan to make a toothbrush while the time is still early.

The first plant suitable for toothbrushes is the willow branch, but if the willow tree is not found on the island, you can only look for other similar plants instead.

The main requirement is to be soft, not too brittle and too hard!

After looking around and trying most of the branches of trees in the vicinity of two or three hundred meters, I found nothing, so I could only look for some vines on the ground, and finally found a thorny trunk that was more suitable for making a simple toothbrush.

This material is not only soft and hard, but it will become many small burrs after biting, which can achieve a similar function.

With the new toothbrush I just got, I can finally continue to brush my teeth after interrupting for half a year, although there is no toothpaste, but find a little charcoal and put it in my mouth and then use the new toothbrush to keep sweeping, and the feeling I haven't felt for a long time is back!

The only thing that needs to be criticized is that the experience is not very comfortable, the texture is still a little hard, and the gums are bled out.

It should be better after a few days of getting used to it, in short, the problem of brushing teeth is solved, at least oral health will not be a problem to worry about in the future.

......

After washing up, the next step is to prepare for the lunch meal, the dragon grouper caught yesterday must taste good, but it is still ready to be used as a daily food.

There are already four dishes in the plan, and if you kill a fish of ten catties, you won't be able to eat it for two or three days, not to mention wasting such good meat.

The conditions on the island limit what other tricks can be used for the New Year, such as couplets, firecrackers, fireworks and other items that must add to the atmosphere of the New Year, so you can only put some effort into the food!

The five crabs caught were washed and steamed into a pot, and the others would be made into a stir-fried leech and oysters, stewed mutton in a half-clay pot and a simple stir-fried greens, but unfortunately there was no staple food, not even cassava.

Although the four dishes are completely not up to the standard of the Chinese New Year's full banquet, the conditions are limited by the fact that I can take out almost all the varieties of ingredients except fish, and there is almost no flavor of the seasoning.

If it weren't for the pure natural and wild raw materials, the taste itself was relatively strong, and it is estimated that even eating a big hobby in life would not be interesting every day.

The only consolation is that the conditions have improved a lot compared to when I went to the island, at least there is little or no time to starve, and there is no need to struggle with food and clothing!

After the meal was ready, I found a very embarrassing thing, there was not even a table during the meal, and a few dishes could only be placed on the stone slab where the sheep were killed.

Usually because the style is simple, it can be dealt with, and most of the time it is solved directly, and I don't care too much about this matter, but after there are too many dishes, this problem is highlighted!

......

After a full meal, I didn't plan to do anything else in the afternoon, and after I had eaten some food in my stomach, I boiled two pots of hot water.

Take a good shower and welcome the new year with a clean and tidy attitude.

After cleaning up my body, it was still early, and I planned to solve the problem of no table at noon first.

Although the large slate is also useful in other aspects, it is still used to make the table top in the absence of other better options.

For the time being, the table is placed in the kitchen, which is not only convenient for eating, but also for cooking and chopping vegetables.

It's just that the problem of the table top was solved, and the material of the table legs stumped me, and I couldn't find three or four stones that were forty or fifty centimeters high and could be moved, and finally I found four wooden stakes of similar length after thinking for a long time.

Remove a small stone slab from the kitchen floor and drive it into the soil proportionally, and when the height is the same, put the large stone slab on top and you're done, the height is about 40 centimeters, and it is enough to solve the temporary problem.

The night seems a little lonely, just so confused alone on a desert island to spend the New Year, no fireworks with a bonfire instead, belonging to a person's bonfire party.

In the past, Chinese New Year's Eve would sit at night and receive New Year's money from adults, but now there is nothing......

I still sat late into the night, mainly because it was too warm to sit by the fire and I was reluctant to go to sleep, and I wanted to reminisce about the past while the fire was burning!

......

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I continued to give myself a holiday, and I have been busy since I came to the island, and now I finally have a valid excuse to convince myself to have a few days to relax, I definitely can't miss this opportunity, and there has been no shortage of food lately.

However, after a morning of leisure, I still felt a little bored, but in the afternoon I went to the beach, and I didn't visit the island for many days, so I took this opportunity to look around.

In fact, walking on the beach in this sunny season is very comfortable, and life on the island is a visual pleasure in addition to loneliness, helplessness, lack of food, and the threat of the living environment.

When I don't visit the island, I only go to the beach where I go fishing and dig bamboo leeches, and the rest of the places are neglected, but now there are a lot of all kinds of garbage on these beaches, which makes me look forward to today.

It's just that it's almost dark after walking down a lap, and the harvest is not very satisfying, it is only a normal level.

Picked up four relatively new plastic bottles, including a three-pound bottle, now picking up bottles is not as casual as the beginning of the pick-up, at least eighty percent new, there is no clutter in the relatively clean bottle will be picked up.

The purpose of picking up bottles is not to maintain the number of bottles, the number and capacity of containers at home are far enough, just picking up new bottles and eliminating old bottles, the normal survival of the fittest.

......

In addition, a piece of rope more than ten meters long and metal products removed from some things were picked up, especially the largest amount of iron.

I even want to wonder if I can use the method of turning copper into a gourd to smelt iron, if I have iron tools, my life will be turned upside down!

It was obviously later than a month or two ago, close to half past seven before it was completely dark, and everything was already showing signs of recovery, some plants had already sprouted, and more plants had grown flower bags and small flowers on their branches, which looked particularly delicate.

The spring season is coming soon, which is extra refreshing and has raised my mood to the best state since I went to the island.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, there will be another day off, and this year's work will officially start tomorrow, and today we will dispose of the dragon grouper caught the day before, and the high-quality fish is still very worthy of appreciation!

Everything is handled with ease, and looking at the white raw fish inside also has an alternative beauty.

It's just that at first, I thought it was also a kind of red meat, similar to tuna, but after cutting it, I found that it also belonged to white meat!

I sorted the fish and put the head, bones and skin into a clay pot and stewed a pot of soup, while the fish was set aside for later use.

I have to say that having a table is much more convenient for handling ingredients and chopping vegetables, etc., and I feel like I reacted too late.

The fish is ready to be fried directly in the pan, cut into large slices like steaks, and then spread a thin layer of salt on both sides, and pour oyster sauce into the pan.

After a while, a strong fragrance entered my nostrils, and I was full of anticipation, it seems that the usual fish practice is still too rough, and it should develop in the direction of refinement in the future!

Due to the low thermal conductivity efficiency of the clay pot, the frying time is longer, and when the fish is cooked, I am already hungry and thirsty, and the moment I eat it, I really see that the precious fish really lives up to its reputation, and the taste is not ordinary delicious!

After half a year of eating fish, I already know the taste of all kinds of fish, and my evaluation of it is still very high, and the taste is enough to enter the top three!

......

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, this year's work will officially begin, and the first task will be to raise sweet potatoes and several other crop species in the prepared fields.

Although the climate is not the best time to sow seeds, it is necessary to plant them in the ground first, after all, there is an urgent need to expand the yield.

The three or five catties of sweet potatoes harvested last year were well preserved, except for a small deterioration.

However, the loss of a small one also makes me a little distressed, the degree of loss is close to 10% of the total, of course, fortunately in the interval to check, otherwise the loss may be even greater!

Sweet potatoes have a long growth cycle, and now seedlings have to wait until two months before they can be transplanted for the next step.

Moreover, the seedbed of the seedlings should have enough fertility, which stumped me, so I could only try to get as much plant ash and manure as possible in it.

Within two months of the seedlings growing, it is also necessary to build the loose land into a long strip of mounds, the professional term is called ridges, but the area of this season is not large, but there is no need to worry too much, a total of only about one or twenty square meters can be planted.

The last planting method is to cut the seedlings into a small section and bury them in the long mound that has been laid in advance, and finally sprinkle a certain amount of grass and wood ash, etc., and its work is completed, followed by daily management and weeding.

After the sweet potatoes were planted in the ground, the next thing was the green vegetable seeds that were also sprinkled next to the sweet potatoes, and since the peanuts and corn were harvested in about a month, the temporary planting task was completed.

On the fourth day of junior high school, I sprinkled some of the seeds and dandelions of various herbs that I usually collected in the ground, and of course there are partitions between the various varieties so that they can be managed in a unified manner in the future.

The final step is to place stakes all the time around the area where the seeds are sprinkled, with a distance of about 20 centimeters between each seed.

Adult sheep should not be able to get in, and the main purpose of this is to prevent the sheep from harming the crops in the field, and these limited crops are all my survival!
