Although there is still a need to solve the problem of sheep food, and the greens will have to return to the island to transport the greens when they grow up, it is a world of difference in the degree of trouble compared to the previous scheduled departures!

I don't have to travel back and forth between the two islands too often, and I can use all the time I used to have on the road, and I'm happy that even a third of the construction work has not been completed.

Because the most difficult period has finally passed, I have already established myself here, and I only need to make steady progress according to the established plan, that is, the accumulation of time.

Looking at the results of the last few months, and thinking that most of the work will be basically completed in the next few months, I believe that a good life is not far away!

......

The bricks from the new kiln had not yet been fired, and I didn't think about being lazy until they were completely dry, and I continued to make new bricks and tiles after transplanting the corn into the ground.

Even though I have shipped a considerable amount of bricks and tiles from the island, the gap is still surprisingly large compared to the number of houses needed, and I can't finish all kinds of buildings quickly, so I want to live a good life as soon as possible!

At the end of April, the bricks of the new kiln were fired, and with a few hundred tiles left, I was going to build the toilet first.

The size and specifications of the toilet are basically the same as the previous toilet, and the location will be on the right side of the first house, and the kitchen will be on the left side of the third room in the future, so that the possibility of cross-smelling is basically eliminated!

That's right, I'm going to build a third house this time, because there are too many pots and pots in the house, especially a few clay pots and pottery bowls that take up half of the room, as well as all kinds of clay pots and tools, and the two rooms are already a little stretched.

Taking advantage of this restart, I would like to build another one, the amount of work will indeed be larger, but the living space will be much more abundant in the future.

I have to say that although the first room has been put into use, the life in it is not as good as imagined!

The room was full of all kinds of things and crockery, and the things in the two rooms and the kitchen were all in it now, and if you piled up those things that were not very important, there would probably be no place to stand.

This also makes sense of my urgency now, I am almost in a situation where I can't turn over at night, the key is that the seasons will change, the weather will get hotter and hotter, and I am worried about heat stroke if I continue to sleep in a full room after the temperature rises.

Thankfully, this inconvenience is only temporary, and the construction of a second room will be immediately followed by the construction of the toilet, and the cramped life should be alleviated before the summer comes, that is, within two months.

......

The construction of the latrine lasted only three to five days, but it took time to dig the latrine's drain and the two-cubic-metre septic tank.

Time flies too quickly under the busyness, and this state may be maintained for a long time.

The sweet potatoes have been transplanted, and the sugarcane has not been forgotten, buried a few centimeters deep in the ground, and should normally be able to take root and sprout.

This year's lambs have been laid down, and the three ewes have given birth to five, bringing the total size of the flock to twelve, which makes me smile and worry at the same time, and each extra one has an extra mouth, and I have to find food to fill it.

The thought of the food supply makes people feel a lot of pressure, but since they have already gone to the ground, it is impossible to strangle them, so let's do it first!

The new bricks and tiles were constantly being made and fired, and after almost a month of putting them together, the bricks and tiles needed for the second room were finally scraped together.

When the biggest obstacle to building a house is gone, it is logical to start construction, and what is even more commendable is the fresh water that I need to solve the mud adjustment problem after a heavy rain just last night.

Unlike the first room, this time the thin mud used for bonding between bricks is different, and I added some grass ash after filtering coarse slag.

It can be understood that my art cells are at work, and the viscosity does not increase significantly after adding plant ash after experimentation, but the wall will be different after drying.

The color of the wall will be more harmonious, at least closer to the color of the green brick, which may be a simple pursuit of people who always like beautiful things, although it is not useful!

Thanks to the favorable weather conditions in the past few months, the progress of all work is not bad, and the process of the second room is also quite smooth, and it was successfully completed in late May.

Although only half of the room is paved with bricks, its use suddenly made the originally crowded first house brighter, and the comfort level "woohoo" rose, and I was finally able to sleep in a big bed!

The third room is not so urgent for the time being, and the kitchen must be built first, and everything must be prioritized according to the priority of needs.

......

Building a house is really important, and I haven't forgotten anything else, the need to hoe the grass in the field.

Because of the lack of care and the lack of fertilizer compared to previous years, the growth of various crops is not optimistic.

Fortunately, the size of the crops has been maintained, especially the crops I care about have not lost their seeds, and even the grapes that I am most worried about have grown nearly 100 vines.

I planted them all in the ground at a distance of two meters each, and in the near future it will no longer be a luxury to drink delicious wine!

After some time, the bricks and tiles are piled up into a hill again, and the kitchen can be started.

The bricks and tiles can be put together so quickly, one is my urgent work, sometimes hundreds of pieces will be made at night in the dark, and the other is also the cooperation of the weather.

Firewood is also a hassle-free place to spend no extra time looking for firewood, which is now one of the most worry-free things to do on Crocodile Island compared to the past.

The dried branches and leaves of the trees are piled up on the side of the clearing, like a few hills, and the kiln and the cooking can almost all be reached by reaching the kiln and the usual fire.

The size and height of the kitchen are almost the same, with only some minor improvements.

Although I would also like to build a multi-storey villa with a sea view here, where I can stand on the roof and watch the sea, sleep comfortably with the sea breeze, and spot the passing boats, unfortunately, all the conditions restrict me from doing so!

Two weeks later, the kitchen was almost complete, and after the floor was covered with bricks and a stove and sink were built, it was officially put into use.

I added the chimney to the kitchen this time, and the consequence of the lack of chimneys in the previous house was that from time to time there would be black water droplets dripping from the roof, and this black water and smoke mixture would be black everywhere it fell, and it would become black corn when it fell on the face.

When there is no chimney, every time you cook, the kitchen will be in a state of smoke, which is also a major health hazard, and you will not have this problem after having a chimney!

The last third room can only be put on hold because it is not as urgent as before, and in general, the most urgent work is basically completed at this time, and other difficulties can be overcome in the short term, or solved one after another!

......

After months of busy work, it was physically and mentally exhausting, and I really wanted to do a few light days to improve this state.

Although the crops in the field are sparse, they are growing well, which is also due to the fact that I will select high-quality seeds before planting each season, and only the fullest grains and the largest ones will enter my eyes.

After several years of survival of the fittest, under the same conditions, the current yield is at least one to two percent higher than the initial seed yield or even more, which makes people deeply realize that knowledge changes fate!

In addition to checking the growth of the crops, I also explored in the woods on the island, continuing to open the road where I needed to open the road, and walking through the places I hadn't seriously walked before.

The purpose is actually very simple, it is to find out if there are any other new crops, because June and July are the time when the plants of various crops are most luxuriant and easy to identify.

Even if I'm busy right now, I'll spend a few days checking to see if I've missed any opportunities, and if I'm lucky, it's far more cost-effective than paying for a few days!

The main range of activity is concentrated in the middle and rear parts of the island, especially in the relatively flat and sunny areas, and after so many experiences in searching for crops, I have found that the areas where they exist are often flat and sparsely wooded.

Even in the woods, there are places that can barely receive sunlight, otherwise even if there are seeds, they will not survive!

The area was further reduced to less than one-fifth of the total area of the island, and the workload was not large, and it took only three days to carry out a carpet search of all the suspicious areas.

......

There are not many fruits, only one crop!

But for me, its importance has jumped out of the category of food, and it is simply fate......

That's right, it's the crop I've been thinking about--- peppers.

As the saying goes, if you don't forget, there will be an echo, and it is true, the mood of finding it is completely different from harvesting carrots, spinach, etc., and I value it as much as sweet potatoes and corn!

Thinking of the days when there was no spicy and unhappy, and then thinking of the days when there was little soup and water in recent years, and then thinking of the days when I could live without spicy food soon, this kind of rollercoaster-like mood is difficult to describe in words.

The timing of my departure is also very coincidental, these two months are the season of pepper ripening, two pepper plants hang dozens of large and small spiky peppers, one or two of them have matured, and a small number of them have fallen to the ground to rot!

I laughed at more than a dozen ripe peppers, and I picked up the rotten ones on the ground one by one, these are all ripe peppers, and the pepper seeds in them can be used as seeds for the next season after drying.

If the more than 10 seeds in the pick up can germinate, it is completely guaranteed that there will be endless peppers next year.

For a member of a race with full vegetable growing skills, as long as I have seeds, then the scale of this island will continue to grow and grow, as long as I have the heart, I can even plant the whole island!
