Chapter 644 Vase Female Supporting Farming on a Deserted Island (17)
When they returned to the camp, before anyone else could react, Lu Chenjin walked quickly to her side and handed her a glass of water: "Where did you go?"
He went to get a change of clothes, but she disappeared.
At first I thought she went up the mountain to take a bath with some ladies, but when Xiao Ke and others came down after taking a bath, I realized that she didn't go to take a bath at all, but went to see some coconut trees.
"Is this the coconut tree you came to see?"
After giving her the water, he looked around the sago coconut tree for a few times, but didn't see anything special. Was it worth her long trip to chop down one?
Xu Yin winked at him and let it slip: "You'll know tomorrow. Have you taken a shower?"
"Well. Everyone has washed up."
"Only Xiaolu and I are left? We walked on Xiaolu and took a shower. We were covered in stinky sweat."
Xiaolu picked up his clothes and towel and followed Xu Yin up the mountain.
Lu Chenjin: "..."
After Xu Yin took a bath and went down the mountain, she remembered that the fish basket she had thrown away before lunch had not been picked up yet, so she asked Xiaolu to take back the clean clothes she had washed after taking a bath, and she went to the reef beach for a walk.
Dinner hasn't been served yet.
"Put the clothes away. I'll go back to dry them. You ask the male compatriots to raise the fire and add some coconut shell water for later use."
"Why."
Xiaolu agreed, and when he was drying his own clothes, he also dried Xu Yin's clothes.
Since Tang Yitian strained the soft tissue of her ankle, she has been unable to do anything but take a shower and has been sitting on the big rock under the palm trees.
Seeing clothes hanging on the alley, I recognized a few of them as belonging to Xu Yin. I couldn't help but ask, "Why does Xu Yin ask you to help dry them? Where is she?"
"She went to take a look at the rocky beach."
Tang Yitian glanced in the direction of the reef beach: "You're not going to watch the sunset, are you?"
Xiaolu didn't hear this muttering. Xiao Ke called her over there. After drying the clothes, she and Xiao Ke went to collect water and firewood.
Lu Chenjin squatted next to the coconut tree that Xu Yin had dragged to study. When she heard from Xiaolu that Xu Yin had gone to the reef beach, after thinking about it for a moment, she understood what she was going to do. She immediately got up and walked towards the reef beach.
Ada wanted to follow, but was stopped by his look.
Ada: Boss, even if I don't follow you, with your zero-experience way of chasing people, it will be very difficult to catch up without a few years of perseverance.
But he only dared to complain about this in his heart, and never dared to say it baldly.
Once he became bald, his seven-figure annual salary was gone.
On the other side, Xu Yin pulled up the fish basket. When she saw it, she was very happy!
After half a day, a lot of seafood fell into the trap!
This is attributed to the fish basket she braided. The opening is cross-braided - easy to get in but not easy to get out. It is tailor-made for fish and shrimp baskets.
"Not a small gain?"
Lu Chenjin came over.
I could see her surprised smile from afar.
Xu Yin turned around to meet him who was walking against the light, and her smile became even brighter: "Look! Isn't this basket rich?"
Lu Chenjin guessed that there would be a harvest, but she didn't expect that the harvest would be so big.
"Are you full?"
"Yeah, I'll make another one tomorrow. Two baskets a day are almost enough for us." Xu Yin jumped off the reef with the fish basket, "But the fish baskets only catch fish, shrimps and crabs from shallow waters. I want to eat them."
For abalone and scallops, you have to dive down to find them.”
"..."
Lu Chenjin seemed to understand why he liked listening to her and chatting with her.
Because when you are with her, you will forget the current predicament. It is as if they are not forced to be trapped on this island, but are here for a leisurely vacation.
The basket of seafood Xu Yin brought back to the camp won cheers from everyone.
"Xu Yin, did you really just throw a fish basket casually and catch so many?"
Xu Yin: Of course not! If there is no bait, see if they will dive into the fish basket.
But he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to say bluntly: "Maybe this is a desert island and no one has come to fish before, so they don't know how to hide."
When everyone heard that it made sense, their hearts and hands itched to make fish baskets to catch fish, but it was a pity that they did not know this skill.
Even if Xu Yin is willing to teach and the master leads him in, practice still depends on the individual.
"I watched Xiao Xu's editing yesterday, and the technique was too fast and complicated, so I couldn't understand it."
"Even if it's slower, I still can't learn it. I've been a handicap since I was a child."
"Yin Yin, I don't know how to weave fish baskets. Next time, you can let me do the physical work of putting in fish baskets and pulling fish baskets!"
"..."
Xu Yinxin said that what you pulled up was probably an empty fish basket.
With water, eating seafood becomes more enjoyable.
Xu Yin plans to stew the whole seafood and grill the conger eel separately.
She also contributed the noodles from the instant noodles and put them on the seafood pot. It tasted a bit like military hot pot. The instant noodles soaked up the seafood soup and must have tasted even better.
Dinner was settled, everyone's minds were set, and they started working separately with great energy.
Xiao Zhao took the job of killing eels: "I'm not good at cooking, but I can kill fish."
Others also took the initiative to find work: those who added firewood, those who boiled water.
Several female compatriots on Xiaolu peeled off the shrimp threads, while Fang Jing and Ji Xiuming were responsible for digging out the coconut meat.
Coconut shells are used as pots and bowls. Now that we have the pot, we still need to make a few bowls.
Pour coconut milk into a mineral water bottle and drink it as water, or put a little bit in the soup to make the soup more fresh and delicious.
Coconut meat Xu Yin plans to boil coconut oil.
If she hadn't discovered the sago coconut tree yet, she wouldn't be willing to boil oil. It was still a problem to stay hungry, so she wanted to pursue the taste?
But now, with staple foods that are more like staple foods than coconut meat, coconut meat has become useless.
"I don't know where Xu Yin got so many wonderful ideas. She actually knows how to boil coconut meat into lard-like coconut oil. Then it will taste better when fried and roasted." Fang Jing dug out the coconut meat.
Sigh.
Although Ji Xiuming didn't say anything, the expression of approval was written on his face.
Before, he would look in the direction of Tang Yitian from time to time. He had liked someone for so many years, and it was not easy to just let him go.
But when people are busy, especially when they are working towards the same goal like everyone else - the short-term goal is tonight's dinner; the long-term goal is to live well and wait for rescue to arrive, they feel a lot more fulfilled, and they no longer constantly think of the place a few steps away.
Now that I am a human being, I no longer feel heartache when I think about it.
"Did Xu Yin tell you what you will do tomorrow?"
"Yes, dig out the core of that tree." Fang Jing looked at the fallen sago coconut tree next to Nunu. "I asked Xiaolu, and she actually said that the tree is a rice tree and can dig out rice. You said she was funny.
Are you kidding me or are you teasing me? Although I have never been in the field or planted rice, I also know the basic common sense that the mother of rice is rice. But her serious look does not seem like she is teasing me. Is she dreaming or not?
Did I wake up from the dream? If only it was really a dream! It would be great to wake up and find that we were all on the island two days ago, with blue sky, blue sea, golden beach, typhoon, tsunami, yacht fire... none of it had anything to do with us...
"
The two chatted nonchalantly about the disasters that had happened in the past two days, resolving their inner confusion and uneasiness.
Everyone had no idea whether they would be able to wait for rescue, so they could only pretend to be cheerful and take it one day at a time.
"Fortunately we found the water source."
"Yes! With fresh water, there is hope for living."
