Chapter 268 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
Barrage:
【so much! 】
[Wow, I'm really awesome! I can make a killing just by cleaning up an island!]
I knew it was a lot when I felled the trees and picked the fruit, but 100,000 coconuts and 100,000 kilograms of palm fruit is too much!
Don't forget the coconut crabs, either. These land crabs may not be as numerous, but they're quite large. Most weigh over five kilograms, and some can even reach ten!
[Coconut crabs do look quite meaty. Slurp! When will the host make some for us to try and see how they differ from sea crabs?]
…
The people in Yunlu Village were also shocked at this time.
Zhang Chengming exclaimed, "This is too much! One hundred thousand fruits, how long will it take to eat them all?"
Lu Xuan said: "There's not much flesh in the coconut, the main thing is to drink the juice."
As he spoke, he took out dozens of coconuts, pried open the lids with his special powers, took out the lotus leaf stems left over from harvesting lotus roots as straws, and gave each of them a coconut.
The first child, Lu Chen, took a big sip and soon his eyes lit up and he exclaimed in surprise, "So sweet!"
After tasting it, adults also felt that coconut milk tasted sweet and delicious, very different from other fruit juices.
Afterwards, Lu Xuan mixed milk into some coconut flakes, stirred them evenly, and distributed them to Lu Qing and other female relatives, which surprised everyone.
“What a rich and fragrant smell!”
The taste of coconut milk itself is relatively light and sweet, but when it is mixed with thicker milk, the taste becomes rich and mellow, with an endless aftertaste.
Lu Qing sighed, "This fruit is indeed a good thing."
The audience in the live broadcast room nodded in agreement as they slurped the food. It was indeed delicious.
The villagers, who had originally not been very interested in this fruit because of its gray appearance, all grinned.
Afterwards, Li Tie distributed the harvest as usual.
Lu Xuan got 30%, public supplies got 20%, and the rest was divided directly according to households.
Each family received more than 900 coconuts and the same amount of palm fruits, less than 40 kilograms of palm tree cores and more than 30 kilograms of guava, and one coconut crab per family.
Everyone liked the fresh food. As soon as the food was distributed, the women started to make coconut milk actively, and the children ate the guava, which was not as delicious as other mutated fruits, with relish.
Coconut crab and palm heart were also essential on the menu that night.
Coconut crabs are steamed, spicy, or stir-fried with scallions according to each family's preference. Some families even dig out the crab meat to make crab porridge.
The palm tree core has a crisp texture when eaten raw, and tastes a bit like bamboo shoots, but without the obvious fiber feeling and with a faint sweetness. It tastes great when blanched and served cold, stir-fried with bacon, stewed, or used in soup.
Of course, it is also delicious when steamed and mashed into paste to make pastries.
In addition to crabs and tree cores, the Lu family also made coconut chicken with coconut meat that night. The chicken was tender and had the unique fragrance of coconut, and it was not greasy at all. The family of four ate five chickens in one meal, and Lu Xuan ate three of them alone.
Although other families didn't cook chicken, they still had a delicious dinner.
The taste of coconut crab is very similar to lobster, but it is heavier and meatier than lobster, making it particularly enjoyable to eat.
The villagers also like the unique taste of palm tree cores. After a meal, many people immediately went to the village chief to exchange the palm tree cores and coconut crabs in the public supplies.
Even if the coconut crabs are included in the public supplies, there are still not enough coconut crabs for everyone to eat for a few meals, but there are still many coconut trees left on the outskirts of the island that have not been cut down, so there is no need to worry about the lack of crabs in the future.
Some people felt that there were not enough trees outside and they could not catch many crabs, so they urged Lu Xuan to quickly produce mutant coconuts and plant more mutant coconut trees in the orchard.
By then, there will be plenty of crabs and mutant coconuts!
·
In the following days, each household continued to dry firewood and squeeze palm fruits into palm oil.
The oil yield of palm fruit is about 20%. A total of 100,000 kilograms of palm fruit in the village were pressed into oil, and a total of 20,000 kilograms of palm oil were obtained.
Each family received at least 180 kilograms of oil, enough to last for two to three years on palm oil alone.
If there is not enough, it will be enough to exchange some from public resources.
Not to mention the Lu family. With 6,000 kilograms of oil, plus soybean oil from growing soybeans and the meat oil from prey, they can eat it forever.
By the time the villagers finished their busy work, half a month had passed since they landed on the island.
The island's layout has been completely renewed. Villages and large-scale greenhouses occupy most of the island. Among them, Lu Xuan's fruit forest, bamboo forest and lotus pond are also larger than before.
Before, the audience felt sorry for his loss, but in fact, there is a mutant fruit. After obtaining the seeds, he can replant it. As long as he has enough supernatural powers, it will only take a few minutes to grow a mature tree again.
By using the power of time to accelerate the growth of fruit trees and make them ten or eight years old, the fruit trees' yield can also quickly reach the peak fruit-bearing period.
If he had to say something that made Lu Xuan feel strange during this period, it was probably the induced mutation process of guava, coconut and palm trees.
Based on past experience, Lu Xuan thought that the entire mutation process would take at least five days, if not seven or eight days.
But the actual situation was that in just two days, all three types of trees mutated. The speed was so fast that Lu Xuan felt a little strange and intuition was that something was wrong.
However, this abnormality was soon interrupted by the contact between the new emperor, Ye Feiluan, Liu Wenchi and others urging him to go for the transaction.
Lu Xuan could only keep this matter in mind for the time being, and took the young and strong men in the hunting team who were doing business, and drove the aircraft to the Western Continent again.
·
While they were busy transforming the island, the greenhouse on the western continent also had its first harvest.
Because the land in the western continent is all virgin land, even if enough plant nutrient solution is spread, the yield per mu of the first harvest is still more than 100 kilograms lower than before the tsunami. Fortunately, the cultivated area is large enough, and the final yield still allows most of the victims to receive or buy enough food to sustain their livelihoods.
Even if you are not full, you can still have a little more after switching to nutritional supplements.
The new emperor and the leaders of various towns had more money on hand, which was reflected in their increasingly wealthy appearance when they approached Lu Xuan to exchange supplies.
Because the climate has become increasingly erratic recently, except for the lack of snow, disasters in spring, summer and autumn have occurred repeatedly in different forms.
In addition to purchasing large quantities of daily consumables, after learning about Bai Xuefeng's deeds, they also spent a lot of money to buy several small submarines.
The eye-popping Western paintings found in the shipwreck were also sold smoothly at high prices to the wealthy and powerful families in Beijing.
In addition, Lu Xuan took the initiative to take out the new products that were produced this time, including mutant coconuts, mutant guava and palm tree cores.
The mutated fruit is quite large in size.
A coconut can weigh up to 30 kilograms, and the guava is as big as a cantaloupe. It tastes much better than before, with a rich fruity aroma and sweet taste.
The largest tree core originally weighed only two kilograms, but now it has reached five kilograms. At first glance, some people might think it is peeled sugarcane.
Because they were all ripening for the first time, the quantity was not large. What Lu Xuan took out was only enough for the people in each town to share, and basically none of it could be distributed to the bottom.
If ordinary disaster victims want to eat, they can only trade with Zhang Chengming, Xiong Mao and other people who come here to do business, but the quick ones will get the most.
The prices are not too cheap, but as long as you can grab one or two and try them, no one will dislike them.
When Lu Xuan came to trade, he happened to meet Huo Tiankuo returning triumphantly with the Huo family army.
Not long ago, Huo Tiankuo personally led people to the Pirate Island to suppress bandits.
At that time, he brought 5,000 soldiers and a large number of hot weapons. It took him only three days to capture the entire pirate island. The number of injured people was less than 200, and there was no death in the battle.
After that, they spent some time to clean up the mess. Then, while Lu Xuan and his party were stranded in the Western Continent, they brought back a large number of women who had been abducted by pirates and some young and strong men from the Central Plains who had been used as slaves.
Zhang Chengming and the others watched the Huo family's army disembark from the dock. They even took a look and muttered, "I don't think they brought back any prisoners. Did they kill them all?"
Li Jing was shocked and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't Lu Xuan say that there were tens of thousands of people on that island?"
Everyone else turned their eyes to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan, who had long heard the inside story from the new emperor, said calmly, "They were not killed. They were simply kept in the local area and forced to do labor to atone for their sins."
To be precise, a group of evil and desperate criminals were killed, leaving behind other relatives who were just enjoying the wealth brought back by the pirates.
There are several gold and silver veins on that island, but the environment on the island is harsh, and it is too hard for the victims to mine, so it is just right to let the people of the pirate island mine themselves.
However, the matter of the mineral vein is of great importance and cannot be made known to the outside world. Only a small number of high-ranking officials in the court know about it.
Zhang Chengming and the others didn't think too much about it and nodded in agreement, saying, "Don't they say that those who are not of our race must have different hearts? If we really bring back those people from the same country as the island, they might bring some bad habits. It's better for them to stay and work here."
After seeing the novelty, the group turned around and forgot about the matter. After trading the remaining supplies on hand, they returned to the island without staying long.
·
Early in the morning, on Island No. 1 in Yunlu Village, the temperature was 20°.
In the only single-person safe house in a corner of the village, the young man who had been watching the surveillance all night yawned and handed over the work to the person who came to relieve the shift, preparing to go back to sleep.
The completion of the island transformation does not mean it is completely safe. Someone is still needed to guard the night to guard against possible dangers.
However, the island is too large, and the manpower and energy required to keep watch are very high, so Lu Xuan directly set up many surveillance cameras on the entire island, including Islands 2 and 3.
With these surveillance cameras, they only need to arrange a few people to take turns watching in the monitoring room to control the situation of the entire island and the surrounding waters.
By the time the monitoring room changed shifts, every household in the village had almost finished breakfast, and the people at home began their busy day.
A few women stayed at home to do housework, while the rest took the village children to the mudflats on the east side of the island to catch fish, and by the way, they pulled up the fish cages placed the day before to take out last night's catch.
Some of the old people followed the others to go fishing, while others found a "good feng shui spot" to fish to pass the time.
The young and strong men in the hunting team are the busiest.
Except for five people who stayed behind and went to the greenhouse with the guards to water and fertilize the fields, the rest of the people, including Lu Xuan, all went out to sea.
The purpose is neither to fish in the sea nor to go into the sea to fish, but to find more wild islands, perhaps more coconuts, tree cores and coconut crabs.
Three islands can allow them to obtain hundreds of thousands of kilograms of harvest, so what about five, ten or even more?
With such a huge temptation in front of us, who can resist it?
So, the young men began their island exploration which lasted for two whole months.
Along the way, Ye Fei, Luan, Chen Bing and others joined in after learning about it, and many uninhabited islands in the distant sea welcomed a large number of humans.
