With the current conditions, most of the mutton is not as delicious as the one made in the city restaurant before, and it may be relatively fat.

But after thinking that I had boiled fish in water at the worst time in the past six months, it wouldn't be too much of a problem, at least now with salt and oyster sauce and ginger!

In addition, I can also rely on a short period of smoke and grilling and stewing to minimize its smell, so there should be no major problems with my receptivity.

It's been too long since I've eaten pork, beef and mutton, and any of them make me crazy!

When you first eat the mutton, it makes people sigh and delicious!

It's so delicious......

It took a week of hard work to exchange for mutton that I hadn't eaten for years, and in addition to its taste, there was also my sweat in it to make the taste even better.

Its taste is unstoppable, I have been paying attention to it and eating it again, and when I feel tired, I stopped and continued to stuff my hand into my mouth, and this meal ate nearly three catties of mutton!

There are many ways to make lamb, but I chose to make a kebab because the fresh ingredients are still the most classic way to make sense, and of course, there are reasons why I want to eat lamb kebabs.

Fresh mutton is very delicious after sprinkling a little salt and oyster sauce, the only regret is that there is no cumin and other seasonings, otherwise these dozens of catties of mutton may not be kept for more than a week......

Daily life is like this, there are many trivial things, and the living environment on the island is one after another.

The lamb is indeed very delicious, but it also took up a week, and there are only three or four days left before the Chinese New Year.

After marinating the mutton, the few catties of salt that were cooked due to drought soon after going to the island were not much left in the consumption of a few months, and it seems that if you want to have a good New Year, you have to take time to get some more!

The production process is still similar to last time, just because there are more clay pots now, three or four pots can be fired at the same time, and the water can also be brought back from the sea at a time more than 50 catties.

The efficiency has been doubled, and more than three catties of salt were obtained in two days, which was estimated to be twice the time at the beginning.

......

After two days of drying, the open sheepskin has been dried into a dry skin, which can be used to make a hand-cranked fan.

The purpose of drying is to reduce the moisture content of the hides to less than 15%, so that the bacteria are not easy to multiply and achieve the purpose of preservative.

However, there are still dried sheep blood and sheep feces left on the sun-dried fur, and the smell of meat foam and fat deterioration is very unpleasant, and even disgusting and wants to vomit!

I took the time to cover my mouth and nose with a short sleeve, and used a knife to slowly scrape off the sun-dried meat foam on the inside of the sheepskin and other sources of temperature.

It was a meticulous and time-consuming job, and it took me all my eyes and fingers to cramp clean.

The sheepskin used after direct drying and cleaning is not used, not only the feel is hard and not soft, but also the wool will fall off after a period of time, and finally only a thin layer of skin remains, which will lose its effect.

Another reason is that as the temperature rises, or if the humid air causes the inside of the sheepskin to become moist again, it will stink and rot.

These are obviously not the results I want to see, so it is very important to nitrate the sheepskin, that is, to make it mature.

The process of nitrating all kinds of fur is very complex and requires all kinds of professional equipment, especially chemical materials.

All I can think of is soaking in plant ash, and of course there are other steps, but in general it is more complicated, and it is not easy to get a clean and fresh animal fur.

The treated sheepskin is soaked in water in a clay bucket for at least two or three days, after which the grease and meat are scraped again.

The next step is to soak the ashes in warm water, which will be a long time, at least more than 20 days, and will be turned once a day.

This is also the more important nitrate, anyway, it can only be done here, as for whether it can succeed can only wait until time to know.

After nitration, the almost important step is over, and it only needs to be cleaned with water and dried before it can be put into use, and the sheepskin can really be used by me at that time!

It's just that people are a little speechless that after a month it is completed, the weather is starting to warm, and its role has become very small, quite speechless!

......

Two days ago, I was still running around for the ingredients for the New Year, and I can't do it if I don't run around, otherwise the New Year may be the same as usual!

By the way, I also received two traps that didn't catch sheep, I'm afraid that I usually don't come to the woods once out of ten days or eight days, in case the sheep is trapped, it is estimated that it can only starve to death and stink, I will not get anything and lose a sheep!

At the same time, I also checked the situation near the cave, especially the vegetable patch.

The corn and peanuts in the field will mature in a little more than a month, and when I first planted them, I was worried that they would not germinate and waste seeds, but now it seems that they are growing well, and I am very happy that I have planted them.

Although it is not as good as the spring production, at least two-thirds of it should be guaranteed!

Originally, I thought that the cassava planted three or five months ago could be harvested, and I planned to eat cassava during the Chinese New Year, but when I dug up a plant and looked at it, I found that it was slightly bigger than my thumb, and it was obviously very early to harvest.

Although it has a long season, it is not yet time to give up on it.

Corn and peanuts will still be planted in this field after harvesting, anyway, it can be completely wild, and there is no need to take care of delicate plants like corn for three days, which is easier to feed!

I haven't thought about what food to eat for the New Year, and I can only find what to eat, I also want to eat lobster and abalone, but I can't go to the sea at all this season.

A person's world is like that every day, it is nothing more than surviving one day at a time, but even if the wanderer is in a foreign land, he still misses his relatives every holiday.

Although there is only one person on the island, I am ready to spread the traditional festival in this special place, which is why I regard the New Year as so important, and I want to have a good time at the expense of wasting a lot of time!

Two mornings ago, I went to the woods by the coconut trees in the hope of catching a coconut crab, and then there was mutton and large crab meat, although it could not be said to be rich, at least it was not shabby.

But I only saw one two mornings, and this one ran away because of my mistake!

......

After searching for nearly an hour, I finally saw a coconut crab under a coconut tree, and slowly approached and prepared for a thunderous blow, as I had done several times before.

The previous process was very smooth, although some small mistakes touched the hay and made a noise, but it didn't seem to care.

After waiting for a minute, he quietly approached again until he was three or four meters away.

However, just as I was glad that it was already in my pocket, it spotted me and ran away as soon as possible!

Of course, I couldn't give up on the crab meat that came to my mouth, so I rushed towards it with an arrow and was ready to kill it with one blow, but then another unexpected thing happened......

One accidentally tripped over a small stump on the ground that wasn't very visible, and the stick in his hand missed its side.

Regardless of the pain, he quickly got up from the ground and prepared to launch a second attack, but it was already saying "bye-bye" to me at the entrance of the cave, whether it was a human or an animal, it always seemed that it could always play beyond its ability to escape, even the stupid coconut crab could be so flexible!

The only opportunity to miss it like this, I have to say it's a pity!

It seemed that there was no chance of looking for coconut crabs again, so I turned my attention to the ordinary crab, which was still large anyway, and it could barely be considered a dish if I caught a few of them.

Ordinary crabs are easier to find, at least the ones that are often caught do not make holes, but will hide under the stones and some crevices, do not worry about the threat of snakes in winter, you can rest assured and bold to move away from the stones.

As long as it is discovered, it is basically a quasi-catch, and it is not until you catch five that you give up and continue to start, and there are still a lot of ingredients that need to be prepared, so you can't waste all your time catching crabs.

......

The next morning, I went to the beach to dig for seafood, but there was still no new target for the reef where oysters are often dug up.

While patrolling the island, I searched the beach for other locations, and finally found two places with oysters, which were so hidden that they would almost not be found if I didn't look slowly along the beach!

This time, only five of them were dug up, and the rest was planned to be dug again when making oyster sauce in the future, and the limited resources had to be saved as much as possible.

Bamboo leeches are relatively ruthless, digging four or five catties, I don't know if they develop very fast or often move, after digging once, there will be new ones after a while.

A few new ingredients plus lamb are enough, and with a bundle of freshly picked wild vegetables, the meat and vegetable combination is not only healthy but also hearty enough.

After all the ingredients were almost ready, and then I had nothing to do, I simply caught fish again, and I always enjoy fishing.

The harvest on the first day was not too much, but the second day can be said to be a bumper harvest.

It may also be that God saw the bitterness of me spending the New Year alone and gave me a New Year's gift!

Thank you very much......

At first, it didn't work much, and I felt a little bored sitting on the beach, but suddenly I was startled by a violent rod pull!

If it weren't for the quick reaction, it was almost inevitable that the rod would come out of its hands, so a tug-of-war with it started right away, and the strength was so great that I began to think that it was another tuna.

But then the figure that came to the surface didn't seem to look like it, but it looked black and ugly to the extreme, and a tugging made my forehead already sweat, and of course it was pulled up at this time.

......

This is a dragon grouper weighing about ten catties, and it is also a grouper, but it is an extremely valuable species in grouper, and it is a famous product in seafood, and the meat quality is excellent.

If it was basically a type that could not be eaten before, not only did it cost at least hundreds of pounds, but it was also a scarce variety, and it took good luck to see one.

And today I pulled up such a big one as ten pounds, which is extremely exciting to think about!

......

And the joy doesn't stop there, when I looked around during the fishing break, I saw something like plastic paper floating on the beach in the distance, and I was very interested in it.

When I looked at it, I found that it was a fifty or sixty percent new mosquito net, but it was not complete, about two-thirds of what it was when it was complete, and there were holes in it.

Although it doesn't look good, it still can't hide its big effect!

The material of the mosquito net is very useful, although its fabric cannot be used to make clothes and quilts, but it is very useful in other aspects, such as used to make gauze, or to make face towels, etc.!
