In your spare afternoons, you don’t need to go to a deserted island to look for supplies, nor do you need to go out to sea to fish. You can just lie down in the wooden house and take a quiet nap, and your sense of happiness will be greatly improved.
Not to mention, they had just had a hearty lunch, and after eating and drinking enough to hold onto the sleepiness after the meal, they had a good sleep.
The fatigue and hard work of the day seemed to have left them far away.
When I woke up, the sunset was setting and the sky was full of sunset glow. The bright moon once again met the sea and the sky, floating above the white clouds, gradually emitting a faint bright color, lighting up a bright lamp for the dark night.
When Song Tiantian woke up from bed, Xu Anjia, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, was lying on the children's mat on the floor, sleeping in a big V shape.
On the upper and lower bunks opposite, only He Jingnian was still sleeping soundly.
Song Tiantian glanced at the folded blanket opposite her, then looked at the thin blanket that she had carelessly lifted up, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
The little girl quickly squatted down and shook out the blanket, trying to fold it neatly.
Unfortunately, Song Tiantian was only able to take care of one end and couldn't pull the other end apart. Not only did she fail to fold the blanket, but it became even more messy.
Song Tiantian looked at the balled-up blanket and couldn't help scratching her head: "Why is this blanket so hard to fold?"
[It's not that the blanket is hard to fold, it's that you're too small to pull it neatly.]
[Although, the way Tiantian squats on the bed and folds the blanket into a ball is quite cute.]
[That's right, especially when she tried so hard to shake the blanket off with her hands, but not only did it not work, it ended up covering herself up. It was so adorable!]
She didn't know how carefully she folded the blanket, but netizens praised her as the cute Song Tiantian. However, after spending a long time trying and only getting a ball of blanket, she just accepted her fate.
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. I still have to sleep at night anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I fold the blanket or not." Song Tiantian tried hard to convince herself, threw the blanket on the bed behind her, and quickly climbed down from the bed.
Song Tiantian opened the door, put on the shoes placed at the door, turned around and gently closed the door, then hurried out of the house.
At the door of the wooden house, Lu Chuanbei was cleaning up the herbs they had picked that morning and placing them under the eaves to dry.
Xiangfangnan followed him to help, and from time to time he could hear Lu Chuanbei explaining a herb to Xiangfangnan.
On the other side, Fang Xiuzhu was removing the leaves from the vines he had just cut from the forest, leaving only the main vines, and preparing to weave a few vine baskets to use for storing things.
Xu Qi was preparing for dinner that night. The half-cut tuna head was placed on the wooden table in an eye-catching manner, marinated in the prepared sauce.
It was obvious that this was the main course for the evening.
He Xuebin was not idle either. He piled all the branches and dead wood he picked up from the forest next to the wooden house to prevent them from getting wet in the rain.
He also used the tarpaulin in the wooden house and fixed it with tree branches to build a small awning to store firewood.
There is also the big turtle. After going to the beach to hunt and eat, it will return to the eaves to find an open space to nest in. It looks like a pet in their family.
When the big turtle saw Song Tiantian, it came out of the house, shook its short tail, stood up from under the eaves, and walked towards Song Tiantian.
Its big triangular head rubbed against Song Tiantian's arm, making it look particularly well-behaved and cute.
Song Tiantian touched the turtle and glanced at the barnacle marks left on its back. "Be good, I'll go do some exorcism now and remove all the barnacles from your friend's body."
"We do need to do something." Lu Chuanbei glanced towards the reef island and said, "We promised Researcher Zhou and his team to remove the parasitic spirits, but we still haven't had time to start."
"It's not your fault." He Xuebin glanced at the drone. "If the production crew hadn't been so unkind, making us get up so early a few days ago to catch the yacht and abandoning us on a deserted island, they'd have even left the yacht behind. Otherwise, we'd still be on Shanming Island, and the medicine you promised Researcher Zhou would have been ready long ago."
"No matter what, I still have to make the spirit-removing medicine first, and then let the staff take the medicine back to them when they return." As he spoke, he sped up the processing of the herbs.
Song Tiantian also went up to help. Although Song Tiantian was small, she was no slower than a skilled adult in processing medicinal materials, and she processed them quickly and well.
Chuji Ling is made from fresh herbs, so there is no need to dry it and prepare it. You just need to wash it clean and wait for the moisture on it to dry before you can make it directly.
Song Tiantian's garlic mortar was put into use again, and fresh herbs were put into the mortar according to the proportion and pounded into medicinal juice.
The turtle that had been following Song Tiantian was stunned when it smelled the familiar smell. Then it seemed to understand something and called out to Song Tiantian a few times.
Then he ran quickly towards the beach with his limbs like a palm-leaf fan.
Song Tiantian couldn't help but stare blankly at the turtle as it suddenly turned and ran away. She said a little aggrievedly, "Why did it run away?"
"Uh... maybe he went home." Lu Chuanbei quickly found an excuse.
"Really?" But Song Tiantian felt that it seemed to have smelled the scent of the spirit-eliminating agent and ran away in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Song Tiantian picked up the garlic mortar and sniffed the liquid medicine inside: "It doesn't smell bad, so why did it run away?"
Although Song Tiantian was a little confused, she continued to make it.
Fang Xiuzhu also took advantage of this time to go to the bamboo forest behind the house to cut down a bamboo, and quickly made a few bamboo cups to hold the medicine liquid prepared by Song Tiantian.
As soon as the turtle arrived at the beach, it glided towards the sea. Soon it entered the sea and swam quickly in one direction.
Song Tiantian, who still didn't know what consequences the turtle's departure would bring, was still continuing to make the spirit removal device.
As night fell, He Jingnian and Xu Anjia, who had had a good sleep, were playing happily in front of the wooden house. From time to time, you could hear their childish bickering.
Smoke rises from the stove, signaling another day of abundance and plenty.
After eating, the few people who had slept for the whole afternoon went into the house to get some tools for fishing, and went to the sea where the tide had receded to start picking up seafood.
There are strings of crystal clear sea grapes, a whole bunch of clams, cat's-eye snails as big as fists, conchs as big as palms, kelp as tall as a person when pulled up, and so on.
As long as you look carefully, you can pick up a lot of seafood on the beach.
"Xiao Lu, come here quickly, there are oyster beds here too!" He Xuebin, who had already reached the atoll, shouted to the few people behind him who were still picking up seafood on the beach.
Upon hearing about the oyster bed, Xu Qi was the first to rush over: "With so many oysters, it seems we don't have to worry about running out of oil."
In the past few days, especially today, they consumed a lot of seasonings and sauces to make the sauce.
Originally Xu Qi was worried that the oyster oil would soon run out, but now when he saw the oysters, Xu Qi was immediately delighted.
He Xuebin looked at Xu Qi's excited expression and looked at him puzzledly: "Director Xu, is the oyster sauce made with oysters?"
"Yes, I was worried that the oyster sauce was almost gone. Now that we have oysters, we can go back and make some oyster sauce ourselves." Xu Qi said, and hurriedly put on gloves and started prying the oysters with a dagger.
Wait, oyster sauce is made with oysters?
[You must be kidding! How can you boil oysters to remove the oyster sauce? They don't look like anything at all.]
[I was so scared that I immediately jumped up and dug out the oyster sauce from the kitchen... and sure enough, there were oysters on the ingredient list...]
[No way, I always thought oyster sauce was made from soybeans just like soy sauce.]
Can I say I thought the same thing? Oysters don't seem to have anything to do with oyster sauce. If I hadn't watched the live broadcast, I'd probably still have thought oyster sauce was made from soybeans like soy sauce...
While netizens rushed to the kitchen to dig out the oyster sauce and check the ingredient list, Xu Qi had already filled a bucket with the oysters he had pried off.
Xu Qi, carrying a bag full of oysters, couldn't wait to rush back: "Xiao Lu, Lao Fang, I'm going to go back and boil the oyster sauce first. You guys take your time and pry more oysters."
"Okay, you go back first, and leave this to us."
"Okay, I'll go back then." As he said this, he looked towards Xu Anjia and Song Tiantian and the others in front of him: "Jia Jia, Tiantian, do you want to go back with me to cook the fumes?"
Upon hearing this, Song Tiantian, who had never seen how oyster sauce was cooked, immediately became interested: "Hmm, hmm, hmm, I've never seen how oyster sauce is cooked before."
"I know that." Xu Anjia hurriedly took Song Tiantian's hand and said, "Making oyster sauce is very simple. Just wash the oysters and put them in the pot to boil, then thicken the sauce with starch water and soy sauce. That's it."
"Wow~" Song Tiantian looked at Xu Anjia in surprise: "Jia Jia, you know so much."
"Hehe." Xu Anjia laughed a little embarrassedly: "This is because my dad has done it too many times at home. I know it after watching it for a while."
"Uncle Xu, do you also make oyster sauce at home?"
"Yes, my dad always says that the oyster sauce sold outside has too many additives and it's unhealthy to eat too much, so he often buys some oysters and makes his own oyster sauce."
"They also say that homemade oyster sauce is healthy and made with real ingredients, so I still have a lot of it in my refrigerator."
"Oh, and my dad likes to make some weird sauces and seasonings."
"Strange sauce?" Song Tiantian looked at her curiously.
"It's fermented black bean paste, soy sauce, vinegar, rice wine, and ketchup. My dad's ketchup is delicious. But sometimes it goes wrong, especially the fish sauce..." Xu Anjia frowned and told him everything Xu Qi did at home.
