Volume 1 Chapter 26 Oyster Sauce

Recently, the pressure on food has decreased a lot after the increase in fish reserves, but the bland and tasteless taste of fish is obviously enough.

It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, fish may be my staple food, or even my only food, and the lackluster taste makes me not interested in eating at all!

Therefore, I really want to change this state, and I can't force myself to eat every day just to maintain the energy that my body needs.

If you need to cope with eating, then life will lose a lot of meaning.

In fact, I have been looking for raw materials for various seasonings, but unfortunately there has been no progress, and now the only one that I can think of and think will be successful seems to be oyster sauce.

I had this idea because every time I ate an oyster, I thought it tasted very delicious, but I didn't think about the seasoning until a few days ago, I suddenly realized that another name for oysters is oysters, and oysters are the raw materials for making oyster sauce!

I was stupid enough to miss it for so long!!

After reacting, I was a little impatient, and I was quite eager to think that oyster sauce can enhance the freshness of chicken essence like chicken essence.

However, before making it, I still need to go to the beach to dig up a lot of oysters, and I have solved all the things that are usually collected, and the rest is a lot of trouble, but I believe that it is man-made.

One of the most spotted oysters on the beach is on a reef in deep water, which is slippery and difficult to stand on.

For this reason, I did not give up on tying the rope to a big tree 30 meters away from the reef, and tied the other end around my waist, and hung my backpack on the front to hold oysters.

The choice of time needs to be carried out after the tide recedes, otherwise it will be light if it is dug directly, and it is impossible to be knocked over by the waves in the sea!

Although the process was troublesome, the results obtained were not bad, and a total of dozens of huge oysters were dug up in an hour, which was more than five catties.

Although it was not enjoyable, the pain from being strangled by the rope for too long had to stop digging for oysters, which made me feel a little unsatisfied.

......

The homemade version of oyster sauce is as simple as removing the shells of the oysters, then washing the meat and putting it in a pot without adding water or adding a little water to simmer over low heat.

Until the soup is very rich and then add salt, the role of salt is irreplaceable, it is not only a seasoning itself, but also easier to preserve with more salt, the principle is similar to adding salt when marinating!

After nearly an hour, the pot was in a similar state, and then the small amount of oyster meat was removed, and the remaining soup was homemade oyster sauce, which was cooled and filled with two bottles.

The oyster sauce was delicious, but the small amount of oyster meat in it was even better, so in the spirit of not wasting it, I added a lot of wild vegetable leaves to the pot very wisely, and the result was that I couldn't walk!

With the seasoning of oyster sauce, the grilled fish only needs to be smeared with a thin layer on the surface of the meat, and the taste will be several times more delicious than usual, and eating is no longer a thing to deal with!

In addition, oyster sauce can also partially replace the role of cooking oil, and you can clearly feel that your body is much thinner and worse than when you first arrived on the island.

Although there are reasons for insufficient food and physical labor, the lack of fat intake is also a major culprit.

Fortunately, the underlying problem has not been solved, and there are alternatives that can alleviate it.

As the temperature drops, I bring two or three sets of summer clothes to the island, and I can't resist the falling temperature!

At the moment I only have one pair of trousers, which unfortunately have worn out almost useless due to heavy use.

All that was left was a pair of shorts and two T-shirts, and the shirt was badly worn, and most of the luggage was in the ship's trunk, which was a pity that it was not considered at all when the accident happened.

It is very important to keep warm under the existing conditions, I don't want to get sick with a cold every once in a while, not only is it painful, but the most troublesome point is that there is no medicine to relieve the cold, so the medical conditions do not dare to get sick easily!

Of course, the only things that can be used for heating are clothes, but due to the situation on the island, I really can't find materials that can be used to make clothes, especially raw materials like cotton.

Hay is actually a material that can be chosen under extreme conditions, but the disadvantage of cutting meat is not considered for the time being!

......

After thinking about it, I thought of knitting a sweater, because the rope I dragged back last time was more than sixty or seventy meters, and it was made of nylon, which was softer than hay when split into multiple strands.

The most important thing is that the sweater made of its material is very durable, and it will not be a problem to use it for at least two or three winters.

It has always been my style to do what I say, and the long rope of dozens of meters is only cut off ten meters, but don't underestimate these ten meters, it is split into similar thick sweater lines and piled on the ground with a very large pile.

With my eyes, it should be enough, so the rest is not ready to be wasted, this rope has played a great role in my production and life from the time it was picked up, and has contributed greatly to the improvement of living conditions.

I'm going to knit a blouse and a pair of pants, and I'll have to pray to God if I'll make it, and although I admit that I'm more ingenious, I'm not sure.

Sometimes no matter how strong the comprehension ability is, it is useless, and there must be some guidance of ideas.

Knitting a sweater is much thicker and more complicated than the sole of a straw sandal, so the process is not smooth.

At first, I was thinking about knitting from the bottom to the top, but after weaving and dismantling, I found that I should knit from the neckline to the bottom.

There are still mistakes in the back, weaving and dismantling, but the basic appearance has been there in two or three days.

As I became more proficient, there were fewer and fewer mistakes, but the last two sleeves stumped me, and I didn't know what to do to make the two big holes.

......

After struggling for a long time, he finally chose the most violent solution, weaving a barrel directly except for the neckline, and finally cut two more at the shoulder.

The two large holes that come out are the position of the arms, and they only need to be sewn here with two separate sleeves.

Whether it's too stupid is not something that should be considered, anyway, I don't have any other way!

As the knitting business continued to become proficient, the speed was much higher than at the beginning, and it took a total of six days to make the first set of sweaters and wool pants and wear them, and the 100th day on the island was spent in knitting sweaters.

Happiness is worth rejoicing, at least with the preparation of the cold, but the experience is not good, this is due to the rough material directly on the lack of comfort, and even the skin is like direct contact with hay.

Not only is it pricked, but it also grinds the skin very well, so after wearing it for a while, I took it off and added a layer of summer clothes and pants to the bottom!

That's all I can think of about winter clothing, and while it's still cold, it's the only thing I can think of.

You can only collect more hay and leaves to make the night warmer, and there is a higher chance of catching a cold at night.

Life is so miserable!

And after knitting the sweater, the other thing was that I remembered that the sweet potatoes were ripe at the beginning of the month, and I had been busy with other things to ignore it.

I have to dig them up, and it's always more grounded to put them in front of me.

Compared to when I first saw the sweet potatoes two months ago, they are obviously much healthier now, and although they are not luxuriant, their vines have miraculously grown to two meters away.

Of course, the abundance of sweet potato vines does not mean that sweet potatoes are growing well, but only that sweet potatoes have not been damaged by birds and insects, at least it is good news.

The first sweet potato plant was a bit disappointing, there were only two of them, and they were both the size of lemons!

The second plant..., the third plant..., the fourth plant..., except for the third plant, which is larger than a fist, the others are not big, a total of fourteen large and small sweet potatoes are harvested, if the weight should only be three to five catties!

......

The results are actually good, because limited to their state two months ago, in fact, I only hope that they will be able to bear fruit, which can be said to be completely unexpected.

Now it is at least next year that the seeds are already available, although only a few square meters can be planted......

Of course, the first time I got sweet potatoes was to eat them in addition to the seeds, I remember that when I was a child, my family was generally poor, and there were no snacks all day long, and I felt that roasted sweet potatoes were the most delicious snacks in winter.

It's so crazy that after every meal, I have to ask the adults to throw two sweet potatoes into the stove and bury them in a charcoal fire, and then take them out and eat them after an hour or two.

Looking at the small pile of more than a dozen sweet potatoes in front of me, I can't bear it, after all, there are too few, but looking at them, my saliva unconsciously flows down the corners of my mouth!

I couldn't help it......

Forced to compromise on his thoughts, in the end, he couldn't stand the torture of the gluttonous worm and chose a sweet potato the size of a lemon to bury in the fire.

After an hour or two, the sweet potatoes taken out of the charcoal fire were already simmered a little burnt, but when I smelled the aroma of the sweet potatoes, I didn't care about its hot hands, so I broke it into two and began to taste it.

Delicious, unbeatably delicious!!

Even if I can't remember the taste when I was a child, the baked sweet potatoes that I haven't eaten for a long time reminded me of my childhood, and I almost burst into tears for a while!

I kept the remaining thirteen sweet potatoes very well to ensure that they could be successfully preserved.

It's just a location that is usually not easy to reach, and the limited dozen or so are too important, and every time I eat one, I feel guilty.

The next season of planting may not be until the spring of March and April, when the spring flowers are in full bloom and it is the season for planting, which will be more secure.

If it is stored properly and everything goes smoothly under planting, it should be able to harvest more than 50 catties of sweet potatoes in the next season, but the speed of increasing the yield is still too slow, which makes me secretly anxious.

The only thing to be happy about is that after the corn harvest in the spring, the next season's corn yield will be greatly improved, and the auxiliary fish and vegetables will at least be much better than the current state!

But I still have sweet potatoes in mind, not only because of its high yield, but also because it is a staple food that tastes great and is nutritious.

The most important point is that it grows underground and does not have to worry about strong winds, especially typhoons.
