Volume 1 Chapter 67 Tedious Everyday Life

On the second day after the rain, after more than a day of wind and sun, the bricks and tiles that were wet on the surface due to the rain were basically dry, and I also started to install the kiln.

In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly half a year since I lost my residence due to the typhoon, and I have been busy every day for the past six months, but the progress is not very ideal.

The progress has to be accelerated, the new kiln bricks can be fired, the number of this kiln is still put into 2000 bricks, the tiles are less, 1500 pieces, as for how to distribute that is a later matter, the capacity of the kiln is only so large.

I was tired during the two days of cooling down, but I didn't bother to rest, so I resumed making it after I made room.

You have to hurry up, and in about three months, the temperature will be so high that it will be unacceptable to work in the open air, and if you want to be relaxed in the back, you must work hard in the front!

On the first day, I only used to mix mud and a brick was not made, and the second day produced about 400 pieces.

It was not until the sixth day that the kiln came out, and two thousand bricks were made in five days, and then only two more days were needed to make some tiles, and the number of the next kiln was enough.

What makes me happy is that there is almost no waste in this kiln, only a few dozen, and the first three or four hundred bricks were directly moved into my house and laid on the ground, saving me from carrying it twice, and the state of the house was paved with a lot of style.

Standing on it, I felt like a toy that I had been looking for for a long time, and I was very happy, and I kept walking around the room to feel the modernity and comfort of the room.

The floor of the room is missing half of the floor tiles, which makes people feel like there is a part of the soul missing, and now it has finally been filled, and now the floor is flat and clean, and it can keep dry all the time, it is perfect!

......

Toilets can be built, and it stands to reason that the kitchen should be built first, because the kitchen has a bigger role, and now cooking is in the open air every day, and when it rains, it will be moved to the house, and the smoke and fire will make the house smell a lot of smoke.

However, the current number of bricks and tiles to build a kitchen will be lacking, and the first construction of the toilet will only use about half of the total, and the next kiln can be burned out to build the kitchen at one time, and the kitchen will be decisively delayed.

Its location is still rebuilt in the existing location of the first generation of houses, after all, the sewage ditches are ready-made and can be used directly, and they are planned when they build the first house, which can save a lot of things.

The difference is that this time the area is larger, about four square meters, the previous toilet was used for bathing, but when using it I still feel a little narrow, it is not easy to perform.

The wood used for the top of the toilet is still the wood that was removed from the previous house and selected, but after the toilet is built, all the wood that was suitable for the previous size and straightness has been selected.

The rest of the pile was crooked melons and cracked dates, and the trouble increased again when building the kitchen and the second house.

I have to say that the speed of the smaller area is simply fast, the construction of the wall only took a day and a half, plus the top only took three days, if it is not forced by the serious shortage of materials, the construction time alone may be faster than the previous wooden house!

There is again a 50 cm long and wide window on one side of the toilet, and there is no door to block it, so there is plenty of light inside.

Of course, the final finish is to use one or two hundred bricks to lay on the ground, but unfortunately now I am reluctant to put a limited number of bricks on the top of the sewage ditch one by one, otherwise it can completely cover the smell that comes out, of course, I believe that this will be possible in the near future.

The problem of the door made me hesitate to make up my mind, and its existence felt a bit dispensable, because the innermost toilet would bear the least wind even if a typhoon hit, and most of it was taken by the outer houses.

If you make it, you have to waste a day or two sawing planks, if you don't do it, it will save a lot of trouble, and in the end I really didn't do it, anyway, there is no other person on the island, and you don't have to worry about being peeped at when you go to the toilet and take a shower, so give up decisively!

There is a small problem with the location of the toilet, its door is not connected to the door on the left side of the first room. After going out, you have to walk two meters to the toilet, and if it rains, your shoes will get wet mud.

For this reason, I had to pave a path with thirty or fifty bricks at a distance of two meters, and this problem was solved, and the number of bricks was limited, which was indeed a bit of luxury!

......

Although it was only the end of March, I didn't know what kind of wind to draw, the first typhoon of this year came, and the time was greatly advanced to make you very surprised, but not too lightly, the lessons of the last few times are still fresh in my memory.

I started to prepare for the typhoon as usual, and I was completely sure that the newly built house would be able to withstand all the typhoons like the last super typhoon, but I still didn't know what happened to the last typhoon, so I had to rely on luck!

The only advantage of typhoons during this time period is that there are very few things to worry about, the ground is basically still fresh sprouting, and even the seedlings have not yet emerged from the ground, and the fish pond is empty, so you just need to protect yourself.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, but now my heart is very contradictory, the house gives me a lot of confidence, but the impact of the last time made me very afraid, there is a "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope" meaning in it.

But what I didn't expect was that this typhoon was too far away or weak overall, and the maximum wind force barely passed the tenth level, which can only be regarded as a squall, and even the qualification to be a typhoon is not enough, just a false alarm!

The impact from the outside was also quite limited, with only a very small number of trees blown down, and this was the only typhoon that didn't hurt me, and the immediate impact was that I hid inside the house for two days.

......

The benefits of typhoons are still there, the woods are relatively gloomy when I first go to the island, although there are typhoons before going to the island, but the trees continue to grow and replenish or there is a feeling of deep mountains and old forests, just to survive for a long time and slowly adapt to and slowly overcome the psychological fear.

However, after the recent frequent typhoons, especially the last strong typhoon, the island now looks much brighter than when I first arrived, and I usually build a house, cut a lot of timber and burn kilns, and there are not a few people who burn in my daily life.

This is also something I did on purpose, making the trees in the woods a little thinner can also increase the sense of security.

Especially now that the nearby hundreds of meters have become a safe zone, as far as the eye can see, as soon as there is a wind and grass, it can be immediately detected, and if there is a threat approaching, it can respond in time!

Of course, there is also an exaggeration in the facts, after all, I am only one person, and the area of the island is so large, the main merit is still in the typhoon, and I only clean up more after the disaster!

After the typhoon, I was looking around to see where there was anything that needed to be remedied, but I was able to transplant the green vegetable and corn seedlings into the ground.

Green vegetable seedlings and corn seedlings are more than ten centimeters high, and Xiaohe's sharp corners look particularly pleasing to the eye (definitely not pleasing to the eye when there is no harvest), and transplanting is already very suitable.

Taking advantage of the fact that the environment after the rain is not suitable for firing kilns, then these two days are very suitable for planting crops, and when planting corn and vegetables in an acre of land, you also need to plant and make holes, and get some sheep dung and plant ash, and two days can not be completed!

This busy work was four days, which was double the time I expected, and finally after planting, I found that there were many more seedlings in the field, especially green vegetable seedlings, which were enough to plant another 100 square meters.

It is a pity that there are seeds and no land to plant, but at least it is not better than the seedlings planted on the land, and now we can only wait for the vegetable seedlings to grow up and be able to cook, and the corn seedlings can only grow dozens of centimeters to feed the sheep and fill the leaks.

When I was busy in the field, I found that there were many missing peanut seeds, and when I dug up the previous soil, I found that there were no peanut seeds in it.

There are not a few cases, at least more than a tenth, especially near the edge of the clearing, and after reacting to it, I guess that it was a good thing done by birds, or it could be pheasants, but unfortunately I can't do anything.

On the contrary, the sheep is more troublesome, since the last green vegetable before the New Year was eaten by the sheep, the sheep's daily food has become grass, my daily fixed work has also increased the mowing of grass, sunny days are fine, rainy days are really tormenting.

I can only hope that the green vegetables can slowly grow in more than a month, and the clam can slowly provide some leaves, and the whole plant can be fed in about two months!

There is still a period of time for sweet potatoes to be planted, and its seedling cultivation time is the longest, basically close to two months, compared to when the greens can be served, it has not been transplanted.

......

The matter in the field is over, and today I went to the woods, and all kinds of plants are almost budding and blooming, and I want to take the opportunity to see if there are any new crops to alleviate the lack of crop variety!

Although I can still count the types of crops in the field, it is very difficult for a person to live on three or five kinds of food for a long time, which will not only be very monotonous, but also not conducive to health, and finding new crop seeds is definitely what I have been pursuing on the island!

I was disappointed to see that although all kinds of plants in the woods were sprouting and blooming again, and all kinds of grasses on the ground were growing, they were still in the development stage, and they were almost unrecognizable, and even if there were new crops, they could not be determined, and the operation failed.

It is worth mentioning that it was a surprise to pick up a lot of coconuts in the woods and next to various coconut trees, and the last time I picked up a coconut was when I was looking for crabs in the woods two days before the Chinese New Year.

In the past, I picked up everything I could, but at first I was just trying to be cool, and then I could only look at it with my eyes, which is also strange to the coconut tree that grows too tall, the basic height is five meters to start, and the height is even more than ten meters.

The slick trunk can't climb up with my skills, the key is that if you can't reach it, forget it, and I'm reluctant to cut down the tree, so I can only wait for a little fortune after every typhoon.

It is essential to go to the beach after the typhoon to check out, the last time the sharks and fishing boats were stranded on the beach after the typhoon, this time it was a little delayed, and the planting of crops was delayed for four or five days, next time you should remind yourself to be more advanced!
