Chapter 647 Vase Girl Supporting Deserted Island Farming (20)
In the summer on tropical islands, there is a lot of rain. They have been here for two days and haven't seen any rain. They are lucky, but good luck cannot last forever.
On the way back, Xu Yin picked up a few branches of relatively consistent lengths and thicknesses and a bundle of vines, cleared the road to the base camp, and built a simple fence around it.
There aren't many branches around, so let's leave it like this for now. When we have time to build the house, we can bring back some more branches and make the fence look more presentable.
Back at the base camp, the male compatriots had almost dug out all the fibers from the tree core.
Except for Xiao Ke and Sister Fan, the female compatriots who were responsible for collecting firewood went to relieve themselves, and the others also came back one after another. Only the sea salt that Tang Yitian was responsible for had not yet produced results.
Xu Yin knew at a glance that the fire was too small.
She stepped forward and added some firewood, turned up the fire, and said casually: "Low fire cooks too slowly."
Tang Yitian: "..."
Don’t I know that cooking over low heat is slow? Don’t look at what season it is, it’s the height of summer! It’s still broad daylight! The fire is burning under the scorching sun. The fire is so strong that the small coconut shells will dry out in a short time after being filled with water. It needs to be done from time to time.
Who can bear it if someone has to wait by the side to add water? You can do it as you please?
Before she finished yelling in her heart, she heard Xu Yin say: "I'll do it!"
"..."
Xu Yin took a sip of water and first taught several female compatriots in Xiaolu how to soak the fiber dug out of the tree core in water and scrub it out to remove the starch.
What should I do if there is no bucket or basin?
Temporarily using hollowed tree trunks, cut them into several sections, made several bottomless wooden barrels, and put them on Xiao Ke's contribution - the disposable plastic bath cover she used when taking a bubble bath in the hotel bathtub, which is quite practical.
.
Then come over and exchange with Tang Yitian.
Seeing her stunned, Xu Yin raised her eyebrows lightly: "What? Do you like this job? Then you continue?"
"..."
Who likes it! Who continues it!
Tang Yitian quickly stood up: "Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll go help Xiaolu and the others."
"Um."
Xu Yin added water to the coconut shell and added firewood to the fire.
The bonfire rekindled the same glow as when she left.
The coconut shell is seven to eight percent full of sea water, boiling and sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She was not in a hurry and slowly added water. After adding water, she added firewood. After adding firewood, she added water...
Tang Yitian walked a few steps and turned back, and saw this scene.
"..."
Isn't this woman hot?
Xu Yin: Learn about the Star brand automatic thermostat!
"Ahhh! Help!!! There is a snake!!!"
Xiao Ke's scream came from the inside of the island.
Xu Yin quickly shouted: "Xiaolu, please help look after the fire!"
After saying that, the person ran out.
Seeing this, Lu Chenjin stood up suddenly and wanted to follow him, but Ah Da stopped him: "Sir, Ah Er and I will go and see."
Lu Chenjin waved his hand away: "You look at what's yours, I look at mine."
"..."
On that side, Xu Yin inadvertently showed off her magical powers and rushed to the scene following the cry for help.
When Xiao Ke saw her, he seemed to have seen a savior, crying: "Xu Yin..."
"Where's the snake?"
"Over there." Xiao Ke shook his hands and pointed to the place where Sister Fan was squatting.
Just as Miss Fan was about to get up after undressing, she was stared at by a snake more than two meters long. She was so frightened that she did not dare to move at all, for fear that if she moved, the snake would fly over.
Xu Yin saw the snake's head clearly and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was non-venomous.
But I didn't waste any time. I picked up a big stone I picked up on the road, aimed it and threw it towards the snake's head.
"Ah!" Xiao Ke was dumbfounded.
Wouldn't this alert the enemy?
What if you miss and make the snake angry instead?
However, before she could recover, the snake snapped, was hit by a stone, and fell limply to the ground.
Xiao Ke: "..."
Sister Fan took a deep breath and looked at Xu Yin with gratitude and emotion: "Thank you... thank you... thank you Yin Yin."
Lu Chenjin rushed to the scene panting, and saw the big snake with a big hole in its head, and then looked at Xu Yin who was hugged by Sister Fan and Xiao Ke crying and laughing, and her heart slowly fell back to its original state.
at.
By the way, why is she so fast?
He was sprinting at the full speed of the 100-meter race when he was a student. Even Ah Da and Ah Er were left behind by him, let alone others. However, he failed to catch up with her...
Fortunately, everyone is fine.
Lu Chenjin shook his head, walked to Xu Yin, and picked up the snake with a branch before her.
"Don't throw it away!" Xu Yin held him back, "It's not poisonous and can be eaten."
"..."
"???"
"!!!"
After everyone reacted, they remembered that this was a desert island.
Snake meat was something that would have been unthinkable in the past when supplies were abundant, but at this moment, it was an excellent protein.
Lu Chenjin was silent for a long time and asked Adah to take care of it.
A'er was responsible for tapping the surrounding grass with branches to see if there were any of its kind.
Xu Yin was thinking about the necessity of building a public toilet.
On the way back, I discussed it with Lu Chenjin.
She didn't even realize that every time she had any ideas or thoughts, as long as Lu Chenjin was next to her, she would be the first to tell him.
Lu Chenjin lowered his eyes and listened carefully, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.
Ada, who came back from processing the snake meat: Boss, is this so embarrassing? I haven’t caught up with you yet!
When Director Cheng and other male compatriots saw that Xiao Ke and Lao Fan came back safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's good that everyone is fine. It's normal for insects and snakes to appear in tropical islands. You must be careful when going to places with dense trees in the future. If you drive the snakes away this time, you may encounter them again next time..."
"Director Cheng, the snake didn't run away." Xiao Ke interrupted him.
"Ah? You didn't run away, are you still there?"
Xiao Ke was completely calm now and pointed to the snake meat in A Da's hand with a smile, "It's over here!"
"!!!"
Who is so fierce? Not only saved people, but also took down snakes!
Knowing that it was Xu Yin, everyone felt that it seemed to be a normal operation.
"By the way, Xiao Xu, have you ever come into contact with a snake before? How do you know where its seven inches is? I always hear people say that when you hit a snake, you hit it seven inches, but I don't even know where its seven inches are."
Xu Yin was still thinking about how to build a public toilet. When asked about the seven inches of a snake, she was also confused.
When asked where the snake's seven inches are, she doesn't know.
"Anyway, just watch it and hit it on the head. If the head falls off, how can you survive? What if you count seven inches and it attacks before you finish counting?"
"..."
What you said makes so much sense, I am speechless.
In any case, the threat is removed and a high-protein meal is obtained.
This is great news for everyone who is worried about what to eat every day and has no choice but to finish the last meal.
"I heard that snake meat is very nourishing."
"It's delicious, isn't it? Should it be baked and eaten?"
"I heard that there is a famous dish in Guangcheng called Taishi Five Snake Soup. Does it mean that it is more delicious when stewed into a soup?"
"That requires soup stock to enhance the flavor, abalone, mushrooms, and chicken to assist. It doesn't matter what we want now. It's good to be full. Don't even think about such a difficult dish."
