Chapter 647: The Vase Girl Farms on a Deserted Island (19)

Lu Chenjin took some clothes, changed out of the shirt that was wet with sweat when the fever went down, took it to the domestic water storage tank, scooped up two ladles of water with a coconut shell, washed it awkwardly twice, wring it dry and hung it on the branches. superior.

"Are you awake? How do you feel?" Xu Yin came back carrying a newly made basket, her trouser legs still stained with morning dew.

Hearing her voice, Lu Chenjin relaxed his eyebrows and met her smiling eyes: "Much better, thank you for last night."

 “Thank you!”

 He is allergic, but it is really her fault.

 “Are you allergic to eggs?”

Lu Chenjin shook his head.

Xu Yin showed him this morning's harvest: "I went to pick up some bird eggs and came back. Let's steam the egg custard and eat it."

Xu Yin knocked the bird eggs into a coconut shell pot, put some water in it, and mixed it with a little spiritual dew, hoping to improve everyone's immunity.

 In a desert island where medical conditions are almost non-existent, a healthy body is more important than anything else.

 While adding salt, she discovered that no matter how frugally she spent on the seasoning packets for instant noodles, she would almost finish them in just a few meals.

 So, in addition to building a house and getting starch, today’s task is to boil salt.

When Director Cheng learned about it, he clapped his hands excitedly: "Xiao Xu's idea really coincides with mine! I couldn't sleep last night, just thinking about this."

The others had no time to listen to his boasting, so they turned to look at Xu Yin and asked her why she boiled the salt instead of drying it. The sun on the island is strong, so it’s so convenient to bask in the sun.

 “Aren’t people who used salt in ancient times?”

"If you want to dry the salt, you must first build a square salt pit with bricks and stones." Xu Yin explained, "We are short of bricks, so we can't just dig a pit on the beach. No matter how much water is poured into the sand pit, Sea water will also seep in."

The most durable tool in their hands is a fire axe. Xu Yin is confident that she can use the fire ax to chisel a batch of stones to pave the pit with her divine power. However, she is worried that the fire ax cannot withstand it. There are several curled edges now. Not to mention that everyone is still waiting to use it to cut down trees and build wooden houses.

 Everyone suddenly realized: "Yes, there is really no way to dry salt in the sandpit."

“Then let’s cook it! Can we just scoop out two ladles of sea water and cook it?”

The method recommended by Xu Yin's reference book says: "Prepare a few more ladles of sea water. When the pot is only half boiled, add water and continue cooking. Cook a few more times. The salt cooked in this way will be relatively better."

 “Why is this?” Everyone asked if they didn’t understand.

 Xu Yin: “…”

How do you know, sister? That's what it says in the book.

Is it possible that the next time I become a student, I will have to major in marine science? Specialize in seawater research?

 …

 A task of boiling salt was added. After breakfast, everyone split up.

In the morning, the male compatriots are responsible for collecting starch from the core of the sago palm tree, while the female compatriots are responsible for collecting firewood and boiling salt;

 In the afternoon, male compatriots are responsible for building houses, while 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 by everyone - "Desert Island Survival".

Tang Yitian took the initiative to join the team of female compatriots this time, saying that the plaster Xiao Zhao gave her was very effective, and it didn’t hurt much after being applied for one night.

"Then you boil the salt. You don't need to move back and forth for this. Just add some seawater to the pot from time to time." Xiao Ke took the initiative to give up the leisure work of boiling salt for the sake of his former best friend, and went to collect firewood with Xiaolu and the others.

Tang Yitian: “…”

 Honestly, she would rather collect firewood than sit in front of a fire boiling salt.

It’s summer and not winter. It’s so hot sitting by the fire. I started sweating as soon as I sat down.

I can’t help but wonder if Xiao Ke did it on purpose?

 Gu Yihang fulfilled the promise he made to Tang Yitian last night - he got up early and found a branch with suitable thickness and flexibility, tied a vine on it, strung a homemade fishhook with a paper clip on the head, and went fishing. They also specially pried an oyster and scooped out the oyster meat to use as bait.

He was very confident about this: Xu Yin could catch fish without bait. He had such fresh bait as oyster meat. I didn’t believe the fish would not take the bait!

 Xu Yin also went to put in two fish baskets.

 One was made up before, and the other was made up after dinner last night when I had nothing to do.

 This time she also put out some bait.

If she could catch fish without putting bait every time, the way everyone looked at her would not be admiration, but suspicion.

 But the bait she put included not only oyster meat, but also small mud fish caught in the cracks of the reef, and the magic weapon for fishing - homemade bait.

 Gu Yihang's fishing spot was on the reef beach, the big reef closest to the sea, and the spot where Xu Yin put the fish basket happened to be nearby.

 The two of them left the base camp one after another and headed for the rocky beach as if they had made an appointment.

 Ada found out that his boss had glanced in the direction of the rocky beach several times within a minute.

　　　…”

 I say boss, if you want to chase someone, just be brave and go for it! Can you catch up just by looking at it? What age is this, even if you look at it as a Wang Fu Stone, you can’t catch up!

 Fortunately, Xu Yin returned after putting the fish basket in.

 Let alone communicate with Gu Yihang, he didn't even give him a look.

With all his thoughts about digging tree cores to get starch, and thinking about building a house and boiling sea salt, who has time to make eye contact with an unrelated man?

 Gu·Irrelevant Man·Yihang: “…”

  Why do you think I am so rare?

He also turned his head and angrily went off fishing, vowing to catch a fish big 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."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Lu Chenjin covered his lips with his fists and coughed lightly, "Ah Dali is very strong, so I asked him to dig the core of the tree. There are enough manpower over there now, let's go and see where to build a house? Ah Er found one It’s high ground suitable for building a house.”

 Ada who was sent away: Boss, you really don’t want me to be your counselor on the road to love? After all, I have dated two girlfriends, and my experience in this area is definitely better than yours...

 The recalled Ah Er: Boss, that place is a bit out of the way and I’m not there to lead the way. Are you sure you can find it?

　Fortunately, these two bodyguards only dared to complain in their hearts, otherwise they would be fired in a minute.

 Xu Yin and Lu Chenjin followed the path A'er had walked, followed the footprints and the waving shrubs and branches, and arrived at the high ground that A'er had mentioned - a protruding rock.

About one or two meters above the ground, the rock is large and flat, as if a piece of it had been chipped away by lightning, leaving a platform twenty to thirty square meters square, flat and dry.

This place is perfect for building a house!

 Xu Yin fell in love with this place at first sight.

As it happens, there are two or three palm trees not far below the rock.

Xu Yin made a plan and said: "You can build a house here. The trunks of the palm trees below are thick enough and not widely spaced. When the trunks of the sago coconut trees are put on top, at least two tree houses can be built. Everyone. Live closer so we can take care of each other."

Lu Chenjin naturally listened to her.

“Then we’ll start work in the afternoon! We have to speed up. I’m worried that the weather won’t be sunny for long.”

Xu Yin raised her head and looked at the east. She was busy sorting out the work she had to do today and forgot to look at the morning glow.
