Chapter 5 Sea Eggplant
"Big bug!" Jiang Lingling suddenly stretched out his hand from behind Wen Xian, and pestled the fat black "big insect" in his hand in front of Wen Xian's eyes.
was so frightened that Wen Xian was so excited that she almost didn't stand firm, and she was about to slip and fall to the ground.
"Madame, be careful." Jiang Lingling was startled, and hurriedly helped Wen Xian, but the "big bug" in his hand still didn't let go.
"I was wrong ma'am, I scared you."
Jiang Lingling suddenly thought of Wen Xian's expression and movements of dissecting the eel neatly, and felt a little scared afterwards.
She floated away, and she actually wanted to scare the Queen Mother.
What is this called, this is called kicking the nose on the face, and I want to open a dye room when I give a few colors!
She was worried about whether Wen Xian would punish her, but Wen Xian said angrily: "What's wrong?" Have you finished catching your crabs? ”
Wen Xian wasn't afraid of any big bugs, but she was doing her work energetically, and she was suddenly frightened.
Without the intention of blaming, Jiang Lingling suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
She scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "I caught ten, and I can't find them." I just saw this big bug in the water, so I wanted to catch it and show it to my wife. ”
In fact, in addition to being curious, she was also a little cautious, wanting to try whether Wen Xian was afraid of these.
"It's called sea eggplant." Wen Xian took it and reversed it a few times, only to see the sea eggplant shrink back, and then spit out a white silk.
Jiang Lingling instantly exclaimed: "Oh, silk, it will also spit silk." ”
Her eyes widened, and she pulled Wen Xian as she spoke.
Who made her never see something so magical before, the sea is such a magical place.
Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and smiled, and directly pulled out the silk spit out of the sea eggplant, and wrapped it around the reef.
"It's a frightened act, and it spits out a lot of silk." As soon as she pulled out a strand, the sea eggplant continued to spit out a second strand.
One after another, I vomited five or six sticks, and finally vomited soft.
Wen Xian handed the sea eggplant to Jiang Lingling and said, "This thing can be eaten, but there are too many internal organs, and there is only a layer of skin left after going to it." Take it home and add a meal. ”
She popularized science by the way: "There is another kind of body covered with soft thorns, which is similar to the length of sea eggplant, called sea cucumber." That's a good thing, it's extremely nutritious, so you can look for it. ”
Sea cucumbers, even in their previous lives, are relatively explosive existences. The main reason is that it is quite expensive, and most people are reluctant to eat it.
"What about sea eggplants, they are worthless?" Jiang Lingling said with some disappointment.
"An emaciated camel is bigger than a horse." Wen Xian raised her hand and knocked on her head, and said angrily, "As long as it can be eaten, it has value." ”
Now it's not about nutrition, it's about satiety.
"Really?" Jiang Lingling's eyes lit up, "Then I'll pick up some more, and by the way, see if there are any sea cucumbers." ”
Anyway, she loves to climb trees and fish when she is a child, and she is not afraid of the sky and the earth. There are few other things to be afraid of other than pain.
Wen Xian also saw it a little, she grabbed Jiang Lingling and shook her head and said, "Forget it today, the tide is about to rise, you go and tell everyone, hurry up and pack up your things and go back to the cave." ”
The waves are getting closer and closer, and she observed yesterday that the low tide is only three hours a day for catching the sea.
After three hours, the tide will gradually rise, and even the stone she is prying for the oysters will be completely submerged, which is very dangerous.
It's better to be cautious when you're a newcomer. What's more, it was delayed for so long in the morning, and it was only when I went back early to get food that I had the strength to continue doing other work.
"Ah, so soon, then I'll go find my sisters." Jiang Lingling picked up the corner of her skirt and ran, bending down to pick up clams and other seafood on the ground as she ran.
Wen Xian looked at her back and smiled, pried two more oysters with her backhand, and then slowly hugged the banana leaves, picked up the dress she had just taken off and walked towards the cave.
……
At the entrance of the cave, the third and fourth children are digging holes with sticks and stones. For the task of three holes, each of them pried one, and the third one was nowhere to be found.
The third child, Zheng Rou, sat in front of a pit about 20 centimeters deep and about 20 centimeters in diameter without any image, and was holding a wooden stick to compete with the stones blocking the way in the pit.
Wen Xian took a closer look and said directly: "What are you doing, why are you on the same page as a stone?" ”
If you can't dig it, change directions, why bother hitting the south wall.
Seeing Wen Xian's dress, Zheng Rou was startled at first, but she didn't think about it so much, and then pouted: "I want to dig a little deeper, it's so small now, it can't hold much water." ”
Changing the pit is starting all over again, she is not happy and does not want to give up.
"It's hard." Wen Xian looked carefully, only to find that the edge of the stone below had been exposed for five centimeters, but there was no sign of it coming out completely.
"Otherwise, let's expand the diameter a little more, and this pit will be used to feed the seafood we picked, what do you think?"
Wen Xian gestured, looked at the confused Zheng Rou, and patiently asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zheng Rou shook her head and wondered, "What is a diameter?" ”
Raising seafood she knows, but the diameter of the expansion point?
Wen Xian: ......
"Let's make this pit bigger and don't have to dig deeper. The stone at the bottom is just the bottom of the chassis, and the water is not easy to seep down. ”
Zheng Rou: "Chassis? What is Chassis? ”
Wen Xian was silent, and she said with a serious expression: "This task is left to you, expand the pit and throw all the seafood in the shell into it." When the others come back, they will work with them to find a way to get seawater to fill the pit. It's like raising flowers and fish, you have to have water, so they can be preserved longer, is it clear? ”
Zheng Rou opened her mouth, and finally nodded: "It's clear, Madam, don't worry, I promise to complete the task." ”
"Good, good job."
Wen Xian fled to the pit dug by the fourth man next door, there was no stone to block the way, and it was a pit hewn with sharp stones.
So, although the pit is less than 20 centimeters in diameter, it is about 40 centimeters deep.
Seeing Wen Xian coming, the fourth child immediately got up, squeezed his hands and said solemnly: "Madam." ”
The fourth child's real name is Zhou Hui, and she is the original Hui Concubine. This is a person who does not fight or grab, has a gentle and reserved temperament.
In the palace in the past, the original owner had never seen her much, but he knew that there was such a person.
Wen Xian raised her hand and patted her shoulder and praised: "Good job, you can dig the third pit." For now, I'll pick some banana leaves and come back to pad it later. ”
When it rains, it is good to collect rainwater and use it for daily drinking.
"Yes ma'am, I'll go now." Zhou Hui responded and hurriedly walked towards the banana tree.
The corners of Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly, and she originally wanted her to pick up some plantain and put it back, and it would be delicious when it turned yellow.
She went to see it yesterday, and the plantains on the trees were all green and not ripe. When it is cooked, there is one more food.
Just the few who drink the dew, eat one or two plantains, and it is estimated that they will be full.
After reading the pit outside the cave, Wen Xian got up and went back to the cave, ready to see if the second and fifth children in the cave had set fire to it.
