Chapter 35: Back to Camp
Su Yuliu and I left the Love Tree and headed north, during which we found several large wine grape growing areas, and Su Yuliu and I took some grape branches back to see if we could grow them artificially.
The discovery of a lot of grapes meant that our rum distillery would not be worried about the raw materials for a long time, but it was a pity that we underestimated the size of the island, and the supplies we carried could not support us to reach the main peak of the extinct volcano in the north.
It took Su Yuliu and I a total of four or five days from leaving the camp to returning to the camp, and it was the first time since the shipwreck that we had been separated from everyone for so long.
As soon as I walked to the outskirts of the camp, I suddenly saw a girl I had never seen before squatting on the ground and doing something.
I asked the girl, "Who are you?" What are you doing sneaking around our camp? ”
The girl said, "My name is Tina, and I am Mr. Zhu Deyong's maid. The host is about to celebrate his birthday, and I plan to pick some flowers and plants to go back to decorate the birthday party. ”
"Zhu Deyong?" Su Yuliu asked me curiously, "Who is Zhu Deyong?" ”
I smiled and said, "Zhu Deyong is the big bear, we usually call him the big bear so used to it, so much so that I almost forgot his real name." But where did this grandson come from, the maid, we have only been away for a few days, how did he leave the ranks of the working people and run into the camp of the feudal capitalist class. ”
As we were talking, the bearded man suddenly clapped his hands and jumped up, and when he saw me, he danced around me excitedly, just like a child who had been away from his parents for too long and suddenly saw his parents returning. But then think about it, if I had such a scruffy child, I would rather be alone for the rest of my life.
The bearded man suddenly approached me, pointed at Tina and said, "She's a bad person!" ”
She's the bad guy? I looked at the bearded man in puzzlement, this grandson has nothing to do since he went crazy and likes to talk nonsense, and I don't know if what he said is true or not.
At this time, Uncle Wei and they also came over, Uncle Wei took two puffs of cigarettes and said with a smile, "Don't listen to the bearded nonsense, Miss Tina served us a meal for the first time, I don't know that we give the bearded man first every time, so the bearded man is unhappy, this guy is quite vindictive, and when he meets people, he says that Tina is a bad person." ”
So it was, I looked at the bearded man again, and he ran to the side to do something else. Everyone was very happy to see us back, and after a brief understanding of our investigation, everyone began to prepare dinner. I didn't tell everyone about the wreckage of the plane, and told Su Yuliu not to leak the news, and finally calmed down my heart, and I couldn't stand the waves.
Big Bear's grandson has been extremely attentive since he brought Tina back, and he almost didn't let her do any work, and completely spoiled her as his daughter-in-law, and everyone was happy for Big Bear in their eyes, after all, if you can harvest a love in all this unknown world, it is also a great fate. However, Uncle Song reminded Da Xiong again that the laws of the empire prohibit intermarriage between inferior people and commoners, let alone a spark between slaves and slave owners, so it is better to be cautious, especially when there are outsiders, you must not hesitate to take out the actor-level performance level.
After Da Xiong asked Lin Ruyi to give the gunsmith manufacturing schematic diagram drawn by Lin Ruyi to Sandro, Sandro didn't seem to care as much as before, and after ordering the adjutant to accept the schematic, he didn't even see Da Xiong's face, and Da Xiong was originally ready to take the opportunity to blackmail him again, but in the end he could only return disappointed, and Sandro's attitude changed 180 degrees before and after, which also made everyone feel very strange.
After listening to Lin Ruyi's introduction, I was also a little worried, our group of people came from other worlds, except for the possibility of mastering some advanced simple technology and historical cognition, the others were not outstanding, but I am afraid that those who doubt us will not think so.
After the troubles were finished, there was a happy thing in front of me. Zhu Deyong, that is, Comrade Daxiong's birthday, is approaching. On the current island, in fact, there is a store that has been built, and all the goods in it are brought by the Duke of Jackson before, although it may have to wait for the subsequent supply fleet to arrive in order to achieve a dazzling effect, but the basic daily necessities are still available, we have bought a lot of imperial beer from the store, and the Rifle Cigarettes are going to have a good celebration.
In addition to tobacco and alcohol, delicious food is also essential for all kinds of banquets. When we arrived on the island, a wild boar had come to our door, and we had killed a sheep in a freshwater lake, and these two animals had been our only source of meat for so long, and they had been consumed. Duke Jackson's supply ships also had food, but for ease of preservation and transportation, most of them were canned food, and those that were not packed in cans were also placed in large wooden ice buckets, frozen hard.
Whether it is canned food or frozen meat, the asking price is not cheap, and the soldiers of the island convoy can only be allocated a certain number of quotas per day, and if they want to fight for their teeth, they have to pay for it themselves. We couldn't afford to eat before, but thankfully, Big Bear got forty pounds back from Sandro.
In addition, there is a pheasant in our camp, that is, this pheasant has an inexplicable and confused relationship with the killed spotted tiger, we originally thought that this thing would be hungry for a few days, and it would naturally be slowly tamed, but what we didn't expect was that this pheasant was extremely fierce and wild, and would rather starve to death than bow to us easily, so in the end we compromised with it first. So if you want to eat eggs, you have to go a long way to hatch chicks.
Uncle Song told us that after a while, the empire's supply fleet will reach the island, and the materials loaded in the fleet will be much richer, and there will be domestic animals such as chickens, sheep and cattle, so we had better save some money and buy some back and raise them ourselves.
After dinner, I asked Lin Ruyi how the situation of the special seeds was, and Lin Ruyi told me that the seeds had been tested and that there was no problem, and the fruits that grew were better than normal seeds, and according to the theory, the nutrients contained in them were also higher.
I nodded and said, "Well, this kind of seed will be of great use to us in the future, but it's not the best time to plant it on a large scale." Comrade Ruyi, if we all soar in the future, we will definitely record you as a first-class meritorious service in the organization. ”
Lin Ruyi was used to liking nonsense when I was fine, she rolled her eyes at me and said, "Tomorrow the Paradise Island Clinic will open and run, An An has been hired by Grace as the first assistant, do we want to prepare something to congratulate?" ”
So soon, this originally deserted island now has its own clinic. I said, "Of course you're going to congratulate, but what do you say you're going to do with a gift?" Otherwise, give me as a gift to them, they will both like it. ”
"Phew!" Lin Ruyi glared at me with some annoyance, and said with an unhappy face: "You still think it's beautiful!" ”
