Chapter 646: Vase Girl with Desert Island Farming (19)
Lu Chenjin took a piece of clothing, changed the sweaty shirt on his body when the fever was reduced, took it to the storage tank for domestic water, scooped two scoops of water with coconut shells, washed it awkwardly twice, and dried it on a branch after wringing it dry.
"Awake? How does your body feel? Xu Yin came back with a newly woven basket, and her trouser legs were still stained with morning dew.
Hearing her voice, Lu Chenjin's eyebrows relaxed, and met her smiling eyes: "It's much better, thank you last night." ”
"Thank you!"
He's allergic, and it's still her pot.
"Do you have allergies to eggs?"
Lu Chenjin shook his head.
Xu Yin showed him this morning's harvest: "I went to pick up a few bird eggs and came back, let's steam the egg custard and eat it." ”
Xu Yin knocked the bird's eggs in the coconut shell pot, put some water, and mixed a little spiritual dew, hoping to improve everyone's immunity.
On a desert island where medical conditions are almost none, a healthy body is more important than anything else.
When she put the salt, she found that no matter how frugal the seasoning package of instant noodles was, she was almost finished after a few meals.
Therefore, today's task, in addition to building a house and taking starch, has one more item - boiling salt.
When Director Cheng learned about it, he stroked his palm excitedly: "Xiao Xu's idea really coincides with me!" I couldn't sleep last night and was thinking about it. ”
The others didn't have time to listen to his boasting, so they turned their heads to look at Xu Yin and asked her why she was boiling salt instead of drying it. The island is sunny, so it's so convenient to get sun.
"Wasn't it all salt drying in ancient times?"
"If you want to dry it, you have to build a boxy salt pit with bricks and stones." Xu Yin explained, "We are short of bricks, so we can't dig a pit directly on the beach, no matter how much seawater is poured into the sand pit, it will seep down." ”
The most durable tool in their hands is a fire axe, Xu Yin is confident that he can use his divine power to chisel a batch of stones with a fire axe to pave the pit, but he is worried that the fire axe will not be able to withstand it, and now there are a few curling blades. What's more, everyone is still waiting to use it to cut down trees and build wooden houses.
Everyone suddenly realized: "Yes, the sand pit really can't dry salt." ”
"Then let's cook it! Is it possible to cook it by scooping two scoops of seawater? ”
Xu Yin's method recommended in the reference book said: "Prepare a few more scoops of seawater, and when only half a pot is left, add water and continue to boil, boil several times, so that the salt will be relatively better." ”
"Why is that?" If you don't understand, you can ask.
Xu Yin: "......"
How do you know! That's what the book says.
Could it be that the next time I dress as a student, I still have to study marine science? Specializing in seawater research?
……
A salt boiling task was added, and after breakfast, everyone went their separate ways.
In the morning, the male compatriots are responsible for taking the starch from the core of the coconut tree in the West Valley, and the female compatriots are responsible for collecting firewood and boiling salt;
In the afternoon, the male compatriots are responsible for building the house, and the female compatriots are responsible for washing and drying starch.
Xu Yin was elected by them as the project coordinator.
This project was self-deprecatingly named "Survival on a Desert Island".
Tang Yitian took the initiative to join the team of female compatriots this time, saying that the plaster Xiao Zhao gave her was very good, and it didn't hurt much after being pasted overnight.
"Then you boil salt, you don't need to walk back and forth, just add some seawater to the pot from time to time." Xiao Kenian took the initiative to give up the idle work of boiling salt for the sake of his former girlfriends, and went to collect firewood with Xiaolu.
Tang Yitian: "......"
Seriously, she'd rather go and collect firewood than sit in front of the fire and boil salt.
It's summer, it's not winter, and it's so hot to sit by the fire, and I start to sweat as soon as I sit down.
I can't help but wonder if Xiao Ke did it on purpose?
Gu Yihang fulfilled the promise he promised Tang Yitian last night - he got up early and found a branch with suitable thickness and good flexibility, tied a vine, and strung a homemade fishing hook with a paper clip on his head, and went fishing.
I also specially pried an oyster and dug up the oyster meat as bait.
He is full of confidence in this: Xu Yin can catch fish without bait, he has such a fresh bait as oyster meat, and he doesn't believe that the fish will not take the bait!
Xu Yin also went to put two fish baskets.
One was made up before, and the other was made up after dinner last night.
This time she also put some bait.
If you can catch a fish without bait every time, everyone will look at her with no admiration, but suspicion.
But she put not only oyster meat, but also small mudfish caught in the crevices of the reef, as well as homemade bait, a magic weapon for fishing.
Gu Yihang's fishing location was on the reef beach, the big reef closest to the sea, and the place where Xu Yin released the fish basket happened to be nearby.
As if they had made an appointment, the two left the base camp one after the other and headed for the reef beach.
Ah Da found that within a minute, he looked in the direction of the reef beach several times.
“……”
I said boss, if you want to chase someone, be brave enough to chase it! Just look and catch up? What age is this, and it looks like Wangfu Stone can't catch up!
Fortunately, Xu Yin came back after putting the fish basket.
Not to mention communicating with Gu Yihang, he didn't even give him a look.
Full of worries about digging tree cores for starch, thinking about building a house and cooking sea salt, who has time to make eye contact with an irrelevant man.
Gu Irrelevant Man Yi Hang: "......"
Why is it rare to be a Lao Tzu?
He also flicked his head, and huffed and went fishing, vowing that he had to catch a big fish that was enough to slap Xu Yin in the face!
As soon as Xu Yin returned to the base camp, Lu Chenjin greeted her and handed her a glass of water: "Boil it and let it cool." ”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lu Chenjin clenched his fists to cover his lips and coughed lightly, "Ah Dali is strong, I let him dig the core of the tree." Now that there's plenty of manpower, let's go and see where the house is built? Ah Er found a high ground suitable for building a house. ”
Ah Da who was branched out: Boss, don't you really consider looking for me to be your military advisor on the road to love? I've had two girlfriends anyway, and I'm sure I'm a bit more experienced than yours......
Ah Er who was recalled: Boss, that place is a bit out of the way, without me leading the way, are you sure you can find it?
Thanks to these two bodyguards, they only dare to complain in their hearts, otherwise they are afraid that they will be fired in minutes.
Xu Yin and Lu Chenjin followed the path that Ah Er had walked, followed the footprints and the shrubs and branches that had been waving, and came to the high ground that Ah Er said—a protruding rock.
About one or two meters above the ground, the rock is very large and flat, as if a piece has been cut off by lightning, leaving a platform of twenty or thirty square meters, smooth and dry.
It's a great place to build a house!
Xu Yin liked it at a glance.
It just so happens that there are two or three palm trees not far below the rocks.
Xu Yin planned for a while and said: "You can build a house here, and the trunks of the palm trees below are thick enough and not far apart, and when the time comes, the trunks of the coconut trees in the West Valley can be erected, and at least two tree houses can be built." Everyone lives close to each other and takes care of each other. ”
Lu Chenjin naturally listened to her.
"Then we'll start work in the afternoon! We're going to have to pick up the pace, I'm afraid it won't be long before it gets sunny. ”
Xu Yin looked up at the east, this morning she was busy sorting out the work she had to do today, and forgot to look at the morning glow.
