Chapter 645: The Vase Girl Farms on a Deserted Island (17)

When she returned to the camp, before the others could react, Lu Chenjin walked quickly to her side and handed her a glass of water: "Where have you been?"

 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 palm trees for a few times, but didn't see anything special. Was it worth her long trip to chop down one without taking a break?

Xu Yin winked at him and gave it away: "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 all covered in stinky sweat."

Xiaolu picked up his clothes and towels and followed Xu Yin up the mountain.

 Lu Chenjin: “…”

 Xu Yin went down the mountain after taking a bath. She remembered that the fish basket thrown 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. She went to the reef beach for a walk.

 Supper hasn’t been served yet.

“Leave the clothes, I’ll go back to dry them. You ask the male compatriots to light up the fire and add some coconut shell water for later use.”

"Why."

Xiaolu said as he was drying his own clothes, he also helped Xu Yin to dry them.

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 a large rock under a palm tree.

Seeing clothes hanging on the alley, I recognized a few of them as belonging to Xu Yin, and couldn't help but ask: "Why does Xu Yin ask you to help dry them? Where is she?"

 “She went to the rocky beach to have a look.”

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 together.

Lu Chenjin squatted next to the coconut tree that Xu Yin had dragged to study. He heard from Xiao Lu that Xu Yin had gone to the reef beach. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood what she was going to do. He immediately got up and walked towards the reef beach.

Ah Da wanted to follow, but was stopped by his look.

Ada: Boss, even if I don’t follow you, with your zero-experience pursuit method, it will be very difficult to catch up without a few years of perseverance.

But he only dared to say this in his heart, and never dared to say it out loud.

Once he became bald, his seven-figure annual salary was far away from him.

On the other side, Xu Yin pulled up the fish basket. When she saw it, she was so happy!

 Conger eels, crabs, dragonhead fish, Pipi shrimps…

 After half a day, a lot of seafood fell into the trap!

This is due 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.

 “The harvest is not small?”

 Lu Chenjin walked over.

 I could see her surprised smile from afar.

Xu Yin turned around to meet him who was walking against the light, and smiled 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, which is almost enough for us." Xu Yin jumped off the reef with the fish basket, "But the fish baskets catch fish, shrimps and crabs from shallow waters. I want to eat them." You have to dive down to find abalone and scallops.”

　　　…”

 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 difficulties at hand. It was as if they were not forced to be trapped on this island, but were 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 get into the fish basket.

 But he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to say straightly: "Maybe this is a deserted island. 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 and they wanted 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, it still depends on the individual's decision to accept the master and practice.

“I watched Xiao Xu’s work yesterday, and the technique was too fast and complicated, so I couldn’t understand it.”

“Even if it’s slower, I 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 and pulling fish baskets!”

　　　…”

Xu Yinxin said that what you pulled up was probably an empty fish basket.

 Having water makes it easier to eat seafood.

 Xu Yin plans to cook the whole seafood in a pot and grill the conger eel separately.

 She also donated 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, so they must taste better.

  Dinner was settled, everyone’s minds were set, and they started working together energetically.

 Xiao Zhao took on 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 in Xiaolu peeled off the shrimps, 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 the coconut juice into a mineral water bottle and drink it as water, or put a little in the soup to make the soup more fresh and delicious.

 Coconut Xu Yin plans to boil coconut oil.

If she hadn't discovered the sago coconut tree yet, she would be reluctant 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 came from 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. Tsk.

Ji Xiuming didn’t say anything, but 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 dinner tonight; the long-term goal is to live well and wait for rescue to arrive, they feel a lot more fulfilled and no longer constantly think of the people a few steps away. Now, I no longer feel heartache when I think about it.

 “Have Xu Yin said what you are going to 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 kidding me? Although I have never been in the fields or planted rice, I know the basic common sense that the mother of rice is rice. But she looked serious, and it didn’t look like she was teasing me. Was she dreaming or was she? 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 are all on the island two days ago, with blue sky, blue sea and golden beach. Typhoons, tsunamis, yacht fires... all have nothing to do with us..."

The two chatted nonchalantly about the disasters that had happened in the past two days, relieving their inner confusion and uneasiness.

 Everyone was not sure 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 a source of water.”

“Yes! With fresh water, there is hope for life.”
