At the beginning of the new year, two or three days after I started planting the seeds in the field, it began to drizzle again.

This rain is three days at once, it seems that the rest time for the New Year is too short, God wants to deliberately give me two more days off!

When I was bored in the house on a rainy day, I missed the food and suddenly thought of the delicious mango, and I began to miss the taste of mango again.

There are still too few fruit trees on the island, not only are they not productive enough in season, but they are also scattered, and it is easy to miss the ripening time and is not conducive to management and harvesting.

It's a pity that a lot of fruit is not picked in time or rots directly to the ground a few days late!

In addition, there are no wide roads in the woods themselves, and the existing paths are usually taken, and when the weeds grow wildly in the spring, they will flood the only paths.

Thinking that all kinds of unfavorable factors are extremely detrimental to the harvest of fruits, I plan to toss an orchard out of my own.

Obviously, there is almost no expectation in my heart to leave this island, as the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and getting an orchard out can be regarded as preparation for the future!

It doesn't take much time anyway, so it's just entertainment.

Taking advantage of the soft soil after the rain, I carried a hoe to dig some small pits with a distance of three or four hundred meters in the open space.

Their location is a long distance away from the current house, mainly because of the possibility that the planting area may be expanded in the future, and there is a fear that it will not be enough.

A total of thirty pits were dug in the ground, but it seemed that they had dug too much, and only eight pineapple saplings, twelve mango saplings, and three small banana saplings were found, and the coconut tree was excluded, and it could not climb anywhere anyway, and the woods were everywhere, and it was disgusted......

Mango is very popular, it can not only be eaten directly, but also dried and stored for a long time, not only can be used as a daily snack, but also can be used as an emergency food when there is a shortage of food, it is simply an ideal fruit.

It's just a pity that there are too few trees, and if there are coconut trees, then I must be overjoyed!

Although it may be three to five years from now that these young saplings will reach maturity that there may be no shortage of food, and the most optimistic idea has even left the island to return to their homeland, the idea of planting fruit trees has not changed.

The fruit trees you planted one by one, and then watching them grow day by day, will be very fulfilling, especially when picking fruits in the future, not to mention that it is impossible to leave!

......

While transplanting fruit tree seedlings, I also focused on taking care of the mango tree that gave me great care last year, if it were not for the dozens of mangoes it provided.

Even if I hadn't starved to death, the rhythm would have been disrupted, the construction schedule would have been greatly delayed, and now it's my family.

Three or four meters of trees around it have been cut down, and weeds have been cleared under the trees, and it is probably the only fruit tree on the island that cares about it the most.

The next half month seemed a bit uneventful, and every day in addition to taking care of various crops in the field, I was looking for various ingredients.

During this time, a lot of food was stored, especially fish, and there were already one or two hundred catties of various marine fish in the fish pond, including many groupers and cod!

I have to thank the fishing rod for the great help, it helped me get at least more than 300 catties of sea fish throughout the winter, if it were not for it, I believe that this winter would be very sad, and may even go to the sea to fish when the ingredients are in short supply.

I was bored and simply cleaned up and inventoried all the materials and status of the house, and I didn't pay much attention to these details when I was usually sloppy, so that I could know the family property without being too inflated.

At present, there are two trousers and three pieces of clothing for summer clothing, of which the trousers and shirt have been worn out and can basically only be counted as two sets.

In winter, I knit a sweater and a set of trousers, and there are forty or fifty meters of rope left, two large pottery pots, and a large number of various pottery pots, pottery pots, pottery bowls, etc.

4 10-kilogram and 5-kilogram plastic bottles, nearly 20 small bottles, a plastic rainproof cloth, 1 knife, two pairs of fishing nets, one new and one old, and a fishing rod.

The plants in the field are: corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, cassava, greens, and wild taro and a small number of wild vegetables, and if everything goes well, cassava and taro wild vegetables will be slowly excluded or allowed to grow naturally.

Ready-made food includes: about three catties of salt, more than 20 catties of mutton, nearly 200 catties of live fish, and fruit trees of varying numbers: banana trees, coconut trees, pineapple trees, and mango trees.

Coconut crabs, crabs, leeches, and oysters are not counted, after all, their amounts are still too small, and their proportion may become smaller and smaller in the future.

At present, this is all the materials I can live in, and it is also the capital that I can survive, and my living state has not reached the point of prosperity at all.

......

It will take at least half a year of hard work to make it possible to greatly reduce the pressure on food, and it is difficult to improve other aspects, especially clothing and sleep!

At this time, I feel very unfair in my heart, why am I so poor on a desert island, and then look at the contestants next door who go to the desert island to survive, countless supplies, Bai Fumei is several, I also want to live this kind of rich life!

Author: No, you don't want to......

After more than half a month of growth, the corn is close to maturity, and I am already eating tender corn, although two or three hundred corn trees are very unbearable.

But when the delicious tender corn is eaten in the mouth, this thought is directly thrown out of the clouds, and the long-lost boiled corn and roasted corn, their taste is really irresistible!

However, what makes me unhappy is that the time for the corn to be tender is very short, and after a few days the corn becomes hard and the first crop of corn is harvested.

By eating tender corn a few days in advance, you can know the state of corn, and the yield after harvest can only be regarded as average, which is more consistent with the expected situation, and may be slightly less, and it is close to 100 catties at most after drying and threshing.

Of course, the yield may be related to the fertility of the land, the quality of the seeds, and the seasonal climate, which is not something I can decide, but the main reason should be the influence of the seasonal climate!

......

The harvest of corn is a very happy thing, at least to ensure that there are enough corn seeds at the same time, but also to increase hundreds of pounds of food, but at this time there is a new problem to face, and it is still more serious, I have no drying field!

The outside of the house is indeed an open space, usually dozens of times a day in and out and walking, the flatness of the whole ground is stepped on by me is not bad, but there is absolutely no way to dry things.

Otherwise, you may need to squat on the ground to pick up one by one, and after drying, there is a lot of soil mixed in it, which obviously does not meet my requirements!

In the end, after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't think that there were such large stones that were very flat, so I simply removed the rainproof cloth that I had built before building the house to dry the corn.

Anyway, the peanuts can also be used in the back, and hanging outside in the wind and rain does not play much role, but also consumes the limited life span.

In his free time, the corn stalks are all cut down and carried to the top of the mountain, where they are burned to make ash or used as firewood for cooking.

After the nearly 100 catties of corn harvested are dried, except for two or three catties used as seeds, most of the others will be preserved as real estate, and they will not worry about rotting for at least one or two years.

I'm worried that if I can't find a new food supplement for a long time, it can show its power to solve the crisis, but this situation should not exist, just focus on prevention to make me feel at ease.

The peanuts can be harvested in another ten days and half a month, and when I checked the situation, I also pulled two plants from the ground very cheaply, and its yield was probably worse than that of corn, and there were only about ten on one plant.

Normally, it is normal to have at least twenty or thirty peanuts on a plant, but it is enough as seeds, and I believe that the yield can be greatly increased in the next harvest at the top of the mountain.

I also look forward to the next season's peanut harvest after the peanut oil can be used as scheduled for three meals a day, and the dietary level will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

......

When the time comes to the beginning of March, the temperature is not as cold as the previous year, and as the temperature continues to rise, you can take off the heavy sweater during the day and wear summer clothes directly.

I was not idle while the corn was drying, and the oyster sauce I made last time had been used up after a few months of consumption, which was the result of saving and saving, so digging oysters became inevitable before making new oyster sauce.

Thanks to the discovery of two new capture sites two days ago, the process was much smoother, but the timing had to wait for the tide to recede.

In two days, I got a total of nearly ten catties of oysters, I think this time it should be enough for three or four months of normal use, and if it is saved, it may be used for half a year.

After a week of drying and threshing the corn, and weeding the field, I have entered a state of order, and the burden and pressure on my body are not as great as they were years ago!

Before the beginning, it was planned to use a large vat and cut a piece of tarpaulin on it to seal it, but after thinking about it, I was reluctant to cut off a piece of the limited rainproof cloth, and finally I had to choose two clay pots to hold the corn.

When the corn is recovered, we must consider the problem of eating corn, the sun-dried corn kernels are dry and hard, and they cannot be boiled in water like rice for a while to be soft and glutinous.

I think in the end, we still have to study how to make cornmeal to solve this problem, but it's not so simple to eat cornmeal, and the most realistic way is to build a stone mill.

However, with the limited ability of not having metal tools now, I gave up after trying many ways, and its difficulty is hellish, and I am still wandering around the novice village!

I can only try the simplest way, every time the first day to boil the corn to be boiled the next day with boiling water, the next day and then simmer in a clay pot, the last cooked corn kernels taste not particularly good, but used to solve the problem of food and clothing, the taste is barely good!
