Chapter 268 Star's Holographic Deserted Island Life 13
Li Yang came back with a fishing basket tied around his waist and two big fish on his shoulders. Jian Bai handed him the water and he drank it in gulps.
Zhang Xiaojia handed him the grilled fish. He ate the fish in big mouthfuls and finished it in a few bites. Looking at the ten grilled fish, he said in surprise, "You also have a great harvest."
"Well, it's a great harvest, but I wonder how many crabs will die if we leave them out overnight?"
Zhang Xiaojia ate the fish and said, "Please work hard, everyone, eat faster. We are going to the stream to clean the fish. When we get back, we will pickle the fish."
On the way back, the road was easy to walk on. When we saw the shelter, we didn’t go back, but went straight to the water source area.
Li Yang asked, "Boss, why don't you take the same route as yesterday?"
Zhang Xiaojia explained, "Yesterday we had to look for the route too far. According to the compass, it's a straight line from here, and if we walk fast, it would only take 20 minutes. But yesterday it took an hour and a half."
They walked, chopped, and swept all the way, and the journey that should have taken 20 minutes took them nearly 2 hours. When they arrived at the Tamsui area, Zhang Xiaojia was completely exhausted.
Jian Bai quickly said, "Xiao Jia, take a break. Let's clean the fish."
Zhang Xiaojia nodded and said, "I'll take a break and then look around for food."
While taking a rest, Zhang Xiaojia used vines to weave a basket. She took the basket and walked around. When she came to a shady place, she saw a large piece of wood ear mushrooms on the tree. She immediately picked up all the wood ear mushrooms.
The holographic space cabinet cannot be used because the power is tied to the soul. As for her reader, she took out the reader and the plant encyclopedia directly in her mind and could use it. Zhang Xiaojia felt that she was an idiot and tried the space cabinet. 3095 did not lie to her and it could not be used.
With the plant encyclopedia reader, you can set it up directly and now you can find a lot of edible things.
There is Yanghuo (wild ginger) 20 meters ahead, and there are many wild taro next to it. They are edible and belong to the Araceae family. If you don’t know how to pick them, don’t pick them. Many wild ones are poisonous. If the plant encyclopedia did not say that they are edible, Zhang Xiaojia would never dare to pick them.
There were wild kiwis in the direction of nine o'clock. After Zhang Xiaojia picked all the kiwis, he went back.
It was a short distance, but it took 30 minutes to go there and back.
I might as well wash the wood ear mushrooms and the wild taro I'm going to eat today.
Li Yang was so excited when he saw the wood ear mushrooms that he said, "It's so good to have wood ear mushrooms. I like to eat all kinds of mushrooms."
Zhang Xiaojia poured cold water on him and kindly said, "Fresh fungus cannot be used. It must be dried in the sun before it can be used."
Li Yang asked in confusion, "Why?"
Jian Bai told him, "Because fresh wood ear mushrooms contain porphyrin, they can cause redness, swelling, burning, and itching on the skin! Vomiting and diarrhea, with a very small chance of being fatal. But it's definitely not pleasant."
Back in the shelter, Zhang Xiaojia continued to observe his surroundings and found nothing wrong.
Jian Bai was marinating the fish, Zhang Xiaojia simply found stones to make an axe and a hammer, and Li Yang made a table, each doing their own thing.
Jian Bai's cooking skills are better than Zhang Xiaojia's, so he is the one who does the cooking now.
Today's dinner was the yellow croaker weighing more than ten pounds, but the three of us couldn't finish it, so we cut it into two halves and ate one side, then steamed it with some wild ginger. We also had a shell soup and kelp soup, with taro as the staple food, and wild kiwi fruit as the fruit after the meal.
After dinner, they made dandelion tea and ate wild kiwi fruit.
"Starting tomorrow, we're going to build a stone house with a kang (a bed) to keep out animals and keep us comfortable through the winter," Zhang Xiaojia explained her plan. "The taro we dug will last us about ten days. We also have dried wood ear mushrooms, kelp, and plenty of fish. These supplies will last us for half a month. Let's not worry about the supplies for now; we'll focus on building the house for the next half month."
The other two had no objections, so Jian Bai cooked all the crabs for today, planning to dry them and then pick out the meat.
The next day, the three of them woke up as soon as the sun came out. Zhang Xiaojia stuck four branches into the ground and tied them with ropes so that the wall would not be slanted when cut.
It is impossible to work at noon in this kind of weather because it is too hot and stuffy. So we have to use the morning and afternoon time. After the three of them moved all the stones out.
Zhang Xiaojia directed the digging of several ditches. The ground was very important and had to be kept dry to prevent water seepage.
After digging one meter out of the ground, she found large stones to build the foundation. She mixed loess, thatch, wood ash and broken shells into mud, and used the mud to fill the gaps in the foundation.
The main purpose of adding thatch is to enhance the thermal insulation and waterproof function of the clay, while adding wood ash is to enhance the viscosity of the clay and its acid and corrosion resistance. The foundation of a house built with this kind of clay will be more durable and solid.
Zhang Xiaojia moved stones to lay the foundation, and Li Yang and Jian Bai filled in the gaps. They worked together to build a good foundation. They also had to pour the soil and compact it before it was considered complete.
It's already past 11 o'clock, we can't work anymore to avoid heatstroke.
Jian Bai made fish and taro soup and cold seaweed salad.
Li Yang took a sip of the soup and felt extremely satisfied. "When I work, I look forward to what to eat at noon."
It was delicious, with no oil, only ginger and salt, and the fish and taro were fully integrated and flavorful.
Both protein and carbohydrates are perfectly replenished, and a kiwi fruit is consumed after the meal to supplement dietary fiber.
"Boss, what are you doing this afternoon?"
"Pour the excavated soil back in and compact it. That's good, but wait until it's dry before you do anything else. Take a break at noon. I'll go find some wild vegetables, and you go get some water and fill all the plastic bottles with fresh water."
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaojia woke up and woke up the other two people. They worked separately and finished the foundation after talking for two hours.
The trap Zhang Xiaojia set up by the stream two days ago was exactly two hours away from here. He came out directly, with a dagger on his waist, a stick in his left hand, a military shovel in his right hand, and a large basket on his back, and set off directly.
As I walked, the reader kept prompting me with edible wild vegetables: Chinese yam, shepherd's purse, wild onion...
Zhang Xiaojia didn't dig, but waited to pick them when he came back.
When they arrived at the place where the trap was set, the first thing they saw was a pheasant entangled. The chicken was dying, but still alive. Zhang Xiaojia tied up its horns and threw it into his basket.
She set up five traps in total and checked them one by one. Alas, there was nothing. There was only one left. Zhang Xiaojia had given up hope, but there was actually prey. When she saw the prey, she didn't know what to say. It was a porcupine, but it was a young porcupine, but it was also meat. She tied its four legs and threw it into the basket. This hologram was too "real"~~~~
I went back and picked some wild onions, gray vegetables, shepherd's purse, and yams. I didn't dig them up yet, I'll do that tomorrow.
When they returned, the two had already poured the soil down, and Zhang Xiaojia was the only one who could do the compacting work. She used big stones to hit the soil to make it firm.
Jian Bai and Li Yang went down to dig up the sticky loess and brought it up in baskets for use.
After Zhang Xiaojia compacted the soil of the foundation, Jian Bai emptied the food in the basket and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This is too real
Baby porcupine and pheasant
