Chapter 12 Brick Kiln
The most important thing at the moment is to deal with the snake first, clean the snake, and after cleaning it a few times, Cheng Ran carried a fresh and tender snake to the place where the trap was made on the beach before, and threw the snake's internal organs inside, although it may not be, but if it can be caught, this is at least a full meal for the two of them.
Li Yuxin frowned when she saw that the snake had been skinned, and quickly turned her head to the side.
Cheng Ran smiled, walked to the fire without saying anything, found a slender wooden stick, threaded the snake on the stick, and then began to roast on the fire.
After a while, the smell of barbecued meat wafted out, and the snake was roasted golden in color and bubbling with oil, which made people have an appetite just by looking at it, and couldn't help but want to bite it.
"Yuxin, it's time to eat, the snake meat is roasted, it's very fragrant," Cheng Ran said with a smile
"You eat first, I'm not hungry now." Li Yuxin smelled the fragrance wafting out and swallowed her saliva secretly.
And at this time, her body was doing this fierce struggle, her brain was resisting fiercely, and her stomach was lacking in the fierce roar, the fragrance was so tempting that she could not hold on anymore.
"What are you thinking, let's have some food." When Li Yuxin was still hesitating whether to eat it, Cheng Ran teared off a piece of snake meat and handed it to her and said
At this time, Li Yuxin ate snake meat for the first time, before this she never dared to imagine what the taste of snake meat was, when the first bite of snake meat was eaten into her mouth, a thick meat aroma instantly covered the entire breath and taste buds, the fresh snake meat was soft and tender, the meat was delicate, and it tasted a little like the texture of fish, and a little bit of chicken texture, compared to Li Yuxin's first thought that the taste was completely different, much better than imagined.
After resisting at first, Li Yuxin finally failed to escape the law of true fragrance, and grabbed it with Cheng Ran, and finally more than half of the snake came into Li Yuxin's stomach.
The intake of meat has given Li Yuxin's body enough nutrients, her weak body is slowly recovering, and her current state is getting better all the time, and now she has a lot more vitality than before, and the relationship between the two is slowly heating up.
After eating the snake meat, the snake skin still needs to be disposed of, and now when she sees the snake skin again, Li Yuxin doesn't feel creepy like she saw it before, and her natural fear of this reptile is gradually disappearing.
"What are you going to do with this snakeskin?" Li Yuxin looked at Cheng Ran suspiciously
"Let's air dry it first, and then process it when you need it." Cheng Ran said and spread the snakeskin with a branch and hung it on a tree beside him.
After dealing with the snake skin, it was not early at this time, and there was no entertainment after the sun went down these days, it was nothing more than the two chatting or going to bed early, Cheng Ran couldn't think about how long he could survive if he just survived by himself and then fell to this island, maybe he could survive, but he didn't know how long he would live alone and then slowly go crazy, and finally become a living savage, then there would be no need for any rescue.
On the second day, Cheng Ran got up early in the morning to check the bricks that had been dried before, because there was no brick kiln firing, he could only dry them for a few more days, so that the bricks could last longer.
Cheng Ran came to the side of drying bricks and found that there were more than 20 pieces of cracked bricks, but fortunately, they could still be used, after all, they were all at the beginning and tried not to waste them if they could not waste them, after all, time did not wait for anyone.
Cheng Ran picked a place close to the shelter and began to level the land, then diluted a puddle of clay next to it and stirred it with firewood ash in a certain proportion, and then began his great business of building a brick kiln.
Cheng Ran first built about one meter and five distances on the ground with a width, and built five brick walls with a length of about forty miles at intervals of about forty miles, and the height was about twenty centimeters. These stones don't feel heavy one by one, but after so many and then they are still very tired in one go, Cheng Ran can't stop trembling at the thought of having another layer of calves.
At this time, Li Yuxin thoughtfully sent him water and food, which made Cheng Ran feel very relieved, and instantly felt that in fact, if the two of them don't have to worry about anything, it is also a good choice to stay on this island in this life, and it is good to have someone who knows what you need.
Cheng Ran looked at Li Yuxin's still somewhat pale face, and said with love, "You better go back, the sun is too poisonous here." ”
"It's okay, I'll stay with you for a while, I'll go back when I'm tired." Li Yuxin said with some emotion
This is the first time that her parents think that someone cares about her so much, making her feel that she is the happiest woman in the world at this time.
Cheng Ran chatted with Li Yuxin, and after resting for half an hour, he began to devote himself to the construction work, and Li Yuxin also went back.
This layer is the same as the bottom layer, the only difference is that the previous five roads have been changed to three, Cheng Ran also thought about leaving only one in the middle of the two sides, but the stone more than two meters long is too heavy, Cheng Ran can't hold it, and finally can only choose a compromise method and change it to a distance of one meter, which is still completed with the help of Li Yuxin.
The work after the completion of these two layers is much simpler, only need to leave a square kiln mouth of about 20 centimeters in front, the kiln mouth is slightly inclined inward, and it is convenient to seal the kiln at that time, and the stone can be placed on it to play the role of a beam, and the surrounding area is surrounded by bricks, and the top is slowly inclined inward, and finally there is a hole with a diameter of about twenty or thirty centimeters.
At this time, Cheng Ran looked at the brick kiln he had built, and felt that he would experiment first to see how the effect was, so he immediately ran to the shelter and brought over a little of the firewood collected earlier, and then started the ignition experiment.
When the fire is first ignited, because the front and back of the fire chamber are open, the wind is too strong to ignite.
went to the back and lit the fire, and after lighting the fire, Cheng Ran found that the fire was blown back by the wind, and only a small part was burned upward, at this time the depressed Cheng Ran could only extinguish the fire and seal the back with bricks.
The experiment started again, this time it was successful, Cheng Ran was very happy, a bit of a fly in the ointment The problem is that the clay between some bricks is not well fitted and there are gaps, and some of these gaps are on fire and some are smoking.
