I finally had some inventory in the fish pond for a few days, which can be regarded as a normal life for a few days, but before I had time to be happy, I was troubled again!

There was a little accident today, the original normal lunch meal turned into afternoon tea, and more importantly, the experience of not lighting a fire for too long caught people off guard.

Due to the fact that I have been busy, I have not noticed at all in recent months that the fire fold has become more and more obsolete because it has not changed the shell for too long.

Although there are occasional cases where you can't light it once or twice, I haven't paid attention to it until today......

The three fire folds could not be ignited at the same time, which made me panic, and after checking it, I found that the three basically had different degrees of air leakage!

Doing everything is not achieved overnight, and the problem does not happen at that moment, the hidden danger has been buried for a long time, and today's situation is also the result of not taking care of it for a long time.

Even if you are not in a hurry to eat, the fire still has to be lit, otherwise there is no tinder to light the fire fold, and the main thing is to solve the problem of the fire fold!

From the production of the first batch of fire folds to the present, I don't know how many batches have been made, and I have experienced several times when I can't catch fire.

Chisel than the defects of the previous material, for a long time the fire fold is not very pleasant, and there is often a situation where the chain is dropped, so the outer cylinder material of the fire fold must choose a new material.

Needless to say, this material is bamboo, and most of the ancient fire fold outer cylinders were made from it, which also fully proves that it is an excellent choice.

Before lighting a new fire, I went to the bamboo forest a few hundred meters away and cut a small bamboo that was slightly thicker than my fingers.

Although the material of the bamboo tube is not necessarily very good in nature, or at the same level, its advantage is obvious, that is, there are many materials.

......

Even though most of the large bamboo forests are arm-thick bamboos, there are also small bamboos that are the thickness of fingers and have not grown, not to mention hundreds, which can be used as materials!

At the same time, the degree of trouble in making has also plummeted: after sawing to the right length, you only need to cut the connection part of the opening position, and you can directly put it into use, which is simple and fast.

The practice of the small bamboo tube is similar to before, but its meticulousness is reflected in the knife work, and the interface part must be evenly peeled off the outer layer of the top one centimeter little by little, so as to facilitate the fastening of the lid that cuts off the inner layer.

The lid should not be too loose or too tight when fastened, which requires a very delicate eye and a skillful hand......

Although it is easy to say on the surface, if you exert a little effort, you may face scrapping and redo, but in order to eat earlier, I have been sharpening the bamboo tube almost all the time.

The first one was scrapped because of hand tremors, and even if the workload was more than half, it was ruined because of a small mistake.

Now it's the second one in hand, but the second one hasn't been able to get rid of the bad luck, and when he saw that he was about to succeed, he accidentally used a little more force and scrapped!

Perhaps it was my sincerity that moved the heavens, and the third one finally succeeded, not because I had one more fire fold, but because it was indeed feasible to use bamboo as a material, and it could also be seen that it was simpler and faster than an outer cylinder made of mud, otherwise it would not be meaningful.

Making the first finished product also gave me hope, and the subsequent production seems to be motivated, but it doesn't seem to help the success rate, because the fourth one is also scrapped!

The fifth, that is, the second finished product is successful again, in general, with the improvement of proficiency, the success rate should be higher in the future, and after being fully proficient, at least seven out of ten successes can be guaranteed.

If you think that it only takes less than half an hour to make each one, then its cost performance is much easier than when it was made of clay and then fired into pottery.

You don't need to make it specifically, and you can make a new finished product after eating and walking occasionally, which can be said to be a big improvement!

......

At this time, the momentum is strong, and I want to continue making a few more, but unfortunately my stomach doesn't plan to let me continue any longer, and I keep making a "coo-coo" sound to interfere.

It seems that the position of the sun above is already around three o'clock in the afternoon, and it seems that work should indeed be stopped, and the fire has not yet been lit, which is a level that requires a lot of experience and luck.

The process of making a fire was not easy, but after the stupid method at the beginning, I followed with a more advanced method.

Tie a rope to the ends of a bent twig to make a shape that resembles a small bow, and then wrap the thread on it several times around a stick that drills wood for fire.

By pressing the top with a concave stone, I was able to make the stick rotate at a much faster speed than I used to do with my hand......

But after only five minutes of drilling, there was already a trace of smoke coming out of the wood, and by about seven or eight minutes, the prepared hay had been ignited, and the flames had successfully turned into a raging fire.

With the tinder, the freshly made fire folds can be used smoothly after being lit, so I don't have to be at a loss because everything fails like noon, and I can finally eat!

......

This year's ewes gave birth a little later than usual, and it was rare that they did not give birth until the beginning of June a few days ago, and a total of four cubs were born!

I have been deeply feeling the pressure because of the excessive number of sheep, and last year I artificially reduced the number of ewes that only gave birth to two young, so there are only two calves left this year.

Originally, I was very optimistic that there would only be three more at most, and even said that there would be premature deaths, but unfortunately they didn't go as I wanted!

Not only did four lambs be added, but there were no premature deaths after so many days, so this is another headache.

Eight sheep were perfect for my current situation, but the sudden increase of four sheep made the flock twelve, a difficult number to bear.

In the future, there will be no more crocodile meat on the beach, and the replenishment of fish and seafood will be entirely dependent on my will, and the trouble is the large amount of crocodile meat stored at home.

Although there are no detailed statistics, there are at least more than 500 catties of crocodile meat at home so far, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to reduce the chance of reducing the sheep before the year, even if it is estimated that there are only one or two.

I can't accept the crocodile meat when I throw it away, although it is very greasy, but its texture is better than that of mutton.

I can only be optimistic that this situation will not exist after the year, and there will be no crocodile meat at that time, and there will be not enough meat to eat if the sheep alone is not good, so after thinking about it, there will be nothing.

......

After I didn't have to worry about the fire anymore, I was ready to go to the beach again.

Picking up trash on the beach is a regular activity in my free time, and the original intention is of course to think about pie in the sky!

I was not disappointed by marine litter, and a large part of my family's assets were obtained through this channel, which has an irreplaceable role.

When you set off again, you don't have to bring all kinds of equipment like before, just like a veteran who is about to go to the battlefield, and now you only need to travel lightly, but it's not easy to choose which weapons to bring!

Of the several long-range weapons, I chose the spear in the end, and it seemed to be the strongest at close range, and it was the most suitable to deal with a poisonous snake, and the bow and arrow and the long knife were thrown in the house.

It couldn't be better, walking on a long beach is very hot due to the temperature and the reflection of the sand, and it is very uncomfortable to bend down from time to time to pick up garbage!

The purpose of going to the beach today is not only to pick up garbage, but also to make a final confirmation of the presence of crocodiles on the island.

If you still don't see a crocodile today, and there are no traces of its activity on the beach, you can be sure that the crocodile on the island really doesn't exist anymore!

So today's content is very important, and you should also be very careful, in case there are still crocodiles lurking in the sea, it is likely that there will be dangerous situations.

It is impossible to go to the sea, but you can move freely on land, as you did on the main island!

The beach was a little empty, and the first few times I had carried most of my supplies back home, except for the mountain-like dry garbage heaps, which were the crocodiles left over from the hunt.

More than a dozen intact crocodiles, which were abandoned due to limited containers, have been decomposed for a long time and now only intact crocodile bones remain.

Fortunately, I didn't come to the beach some time ago, otherwise I would have been smoked back by the stinking smell, but fortunately, there was no smell at all at this time.

......

Leaving them on the beach didn't bother me, but it didn't look good on the eyes, and I simply threw all the crocodile bones into the sea during the journey, and the white beach was back to normal!

After walking forward for three or four hours, the front side of the island went completely from one end to the other, and only two or three plastic bottles and a piece of cloth were obtained, and not only did not make a big gain, but also found no crocodiles.

On the other side of the beach, I stopped picking up trash and looking for crocodiles, but also took up a part-time job to find ingredients......

On the beach near the sea on the island, there is a shell slightly smaller than the size of a ping-pong ball, and although the meat on it is not as exaggerated as that of oysters, it is different in that there are many of them!

Originally, I just wanted to dig up some leeches to go back, but I accidentally dug up two of these clams, and their location was also on the muddy beach below the dry tide line, and it only took ten minutes to get about half a catty.

I firmly believe that if you have a hoe or shovel in your hand, it shouldn't be a big problem to dig out ten catties in an hour!

When there is no other harvest, it is a good choice to look for it, and when you want to eat seafood in the future, you can completely use it instead of abalone and sea cucumber.

Of course, the prerequisite for digging seafood is that all the business is done, and after a few hours of exploration, there are no crocodiles on the beach on the other side!

By this time, it was almost certain that all the crocodiles on the island had indeed been wiped out and could go to sea, and more importantly, there was no need to cringe as before......
