Chapter 14

"Why do I feel like I'm doing hard labor in the game? It's fine to move bricks with pure physical strength, but why do I have to use my brain? It's simply unethical!" Qiao Sheng took out a bottle of coconut water from the storage box and drank it while panting. With this amount of work, I feel like I'll have to have a midnight snack later.

After I recovered, I added a torch for lighting. I'm not very skilled at this butcher's job, and it's too easy to cut my hand if I can't see clearly. It's better not to save on torches and other things. I'm clearly cutting a pig, and it would be too cruel to cut my hand with a knife.

With the first half of the pig as a proof, the second half of the cutting obviously started to speed up. Although he still had to feel the pork bones by hand, he had a rough idea of ​​the position in his mind, so the accuracy of the cut was much higher.

The first time took two hours, and Qiao Sheng estimated that it took only an hour and a half the second time. He threw the unwanted lymph nodes into the toilet to flush, and put the rest in the storage box with banana leaves. I

was originally planning to drink fish soup tomorrow, but now I have changed my mind. This big bone stick is here, and I would be sorry for my efforts tonight if I don’t make some bone soup. If I can’t make sweet and sour ribs, I will make blanched ones. Anyway, I can eat them anyway!

When washing up, Qiao Sheng was in trouble again. Usually, she would sweat a little when doing work, and she could wipe it with a damp cotton cloth, but the work she did tonight was a bit greasy. She squatted beside the floating board and washed it with sea water for a long time with the cotton cloth she usually used for washing up. Not only were her hands still shiny, but the cotton cloth was also covered with grease, which made her very worried. Although she

had grease on her hands when she cleaned fish and rabbits before, it was obviously not as much as the wild boar now. When she cut the wild boar into two two days ago, it was basically Li Mu who did this work. Qiao Sheng was just beside her, pulling the pig legs to move them. She didn't stand on any grease, and didn't pay attention to how Li Mu cleaned it.

I made a few ropes out of leaves, rolled them into balls, and used the roughness of the ropes to rub them in the sea water for a long time before they were not so greasy.

When Qiao Sheng was lying on the bed, he was thinking that survival games not only need to solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also the problem of cleaning. It seems that pig pancreas can be used to make soap, so can I try it with pig fat? There were so many pigs at the time, why didn't anyone think of leaving the pig pancreas?

As for how to make cleaning tools, I can only say that I read too few extracurricular books when I was in school, and I couldn't concentrate on reading after I started working. After all, I still didn't have enough knowledge reserves. I should read more books like Li Mu, and everything would be solved.

With his eyes closed and his mind working rapidly, Qiao Sheng's last thought was how come Li Mu had read so many books but never thought of making a few bars of soap? He was also the one who threw the pig pancreas! He read in vain!

At this moment, Li Mu, who was criticized for reading in vain, was docked next to a small island. He had already washed up with fresh soap and went to bed.

When the morning sun hit his face, Qiao Sheng's eyes were still dark, but he was already thinking in his mind that he must have a cabin! It must be sheltered from the wind and rain! It was too uncomfortable to be woken up by the sun every day. When

he was sitting on the bed to wake up from a nap, he had changed from building a magnificent cabin to making a simple eye mask, which suddenly became much more practical.

However, the most urgent matter is that there are still three pigs to be cleaned up. There is still time to collect more supplies and make more fishing nets. She was very diligent in collecting several rounds of these things yesterday. Each net was collected at a different time. In summary, it was found that collecting four rounds a day would bring the greatest benefits.

After getting up, washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she first took out all the supplies in the nine fishing nets. The last time she collected was before going to bed last night. Now the time is just right.

There is no rush to put the supplies into the storage box. They are piled up in a place where the floating board will not get in the way. She drank half a bottle of coconut water first, and then started to make breakfast. She had to prepare food as soon as she opened her eyes. Thankfully, supplies are in short supply now, so she doesn't have to worry about what to eat for every meal. People with phobias are suitable for playing this game because there is no choice at all.

For breakfast, she grilled some corn and heated up the fish soup left over from last night. Although the fish soup showed that it was fresh for three days, Qiao Sheng could only eat the leftovers the next day without a refrigerator. If it took longer, she would feel insecure.

After breakfast, she replaced the plants in the planting pots and the seawater in the filter with new ones, and then continued to cut the three pigs left over from yesterday. With yesterday's operation pad, the work went much more smoothly today, and all the pork was cut before noon.

Seeing the wild boar meat spread all over the floating board, Qiao Sheng began to worry again. There was not enough salt at home to marinate all of it. In the end, she could only eat as many ribs as possible while they were still fresh in the next few days.

The pig head was not kept when it was initially divided, but now there are quite a few pig trotters left. Forget about the halved pig trotters, as they may not taste good even if boiled in plain water. After considering for a long time, she decided to put them in the storage box first, in case she could encounter an island during the shelf life and happen to have some green onions, ginger, garlic, etc.

As for the rest of the pork, Qiao Sheng cut them into long strips so that they could be easily tied and hung on the drying rack. This was also because she saw Li Mu hanging them like this before. There was too much meat and it could not be consumed in a short time. She could only try this way, otherwise so much pork would really expire and she would be heartbroken.

This time, I got some pork fat from cutting the pork. Although it is not as much as from domesticated pigs, I can use this to make a lot of oil. When the ingredients are abundant in the future, I can make scallion pancakes or various snacks. I can also try this soap.

The most important thing is that it is simple to make. Cut the pork fat into pieces, add a little water, and slowly produce oil after boiling it dry. It is much easier than making coconut oil.

The iron pot is used to make pork fat. Qiao Sheng's lunch is made on a simple grill. He grilled a corn and a large piece of pork chop. It is really more delicious than grilled fish.

In the afternoon, Qiao Sheng took out dozens of corns that he had planted before. The drying rack was full of pork strips, so he found a few banana leaves and spread them on the floating board, and put the corn on it to dry.

She hadn't figured out the time flow in this game for so many days, but judging from the drying of kelp and fish in the past few days, the drying process must have been accelerated. What would take several days in reality can basically be done in one day in the game.

The idea of ​​drying corn was inspired by making sweet potato starch two days ago. Without rice and flour, she could make some cornmeal.

Unfortunately, she didn't have a stone mill, so it would definitely be a bit laborious to grind the flour, but she had a stone and a wooden hammer for pounding sweet potato chunks, so she could just grind it slowly. As long as she was willing to spend time, she would be able to make the finished product sooner or later. After

laying out the corn, the first pot of lard was almost ready to be served. This thing is different from coconut oil. Coconut oil does not solidify at room temperature, but solidifies when the temperature is cold, while lard solidifies at room temperature.

It seems that I have to pour the coconut oil out of the glass bottle and change the container before winter comes, otherwise the mouth of the glass bottle is so small that if the coconut oil really solidifies, I can't pour it out.

I looked for a container that can hold lard, and finally I had to use a coconut bowl. I poured the boiled lard into the coconut bowl to cool it down. The bowl is not big, but there is still a lot of lard left in the pot. I filled six coconut bowls before the iron pot was empty.

The bowl filled with lard was moved aside to wait for solidification, and the remaining lard residue was placed in a separate bowl. This was very fragrant for making dumplings, but unfortunately there was no white flour, and even the cornmeal was just made. So no matter how fragrant the lard residue was, it could only be eaten as a snack, and not too much, as it was said to be bad for the body.

The second pot of pork fat was quickly put on the pot and started to boil. Looking at the corn that was drying, Qiao Sheng decided to use sweet potatoes to make some sweet potato vermicelli. It was just a few more steps than making sweet potato starch before, but she was not sure whether it would succeed.

These were all what she saw when she was lying in bed after work, watching small videos, and big data was pushed in waves. Every time she finished watching, she felt that her eyes could do it, but whether her hands could do it was not in the plan at all, after all, her legs did not give her a chance to stand up and go to the kitchen to actually operate.

The current situation made her feel annoyed. It’s okay that she didn’t read much, but she watched the small videos. Why didn’t she try it? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have to try it with a small amount of ingredients. If she failed, she would be so sad.

Sighing, no matter how much I complain, I have to do what is right in front of me. I washed the dirt off the skin of the sweet potato with sea water, but it still felt not clean enough when I cut it. I peeled off the skin first before I cut it.

Next is the grinding time. While grinding the sweet potato into powder, I kept an eye on the lard in the iron pot.

Time always flies when I am busy. When Qiao Sheng finished grinding more than a dozen sweet potatoes, the sun was setting.

The lard had been cooked long ago, but the lard residue was not going to be used, so it was cooked for a little longer. As for the storage of lard, it became a problem. The dozen coconut bowls that Li Mu had made before were all given to her, but the capacity was just there. Six coconut bowls were used for the first pot, and the second pot had more lard, so the existing coconut bowls were not enough.

There was really no other way, so Qiao Sheng decided to try a last-ditch effort and took some iron products to try to make an iron basin. After consuming ten iron products, she finally succeeded. Looking at the small iron basin in her hand that was twice as big as the coconut bowl, she was so happy.

This small iron basin actually only needs one iron product to make, which means she failed nine times before she succeeded!

She made five more small iron basins, two for lard, at least one coconut bowl for rice, and the remaining three aside, so that they could be used quickly with her speed of storing food.

She touched the corn on the banana leaf, and it was not completely dry yet. It looked like it would be threshed tomorrow morning. Since she was going to make cornmeal and sweet potato vermicelli in the next two days, she also changed the crops in the planting pots to corn and sweet potatoes. After two days of planting, the stock would be back.
