Chapter 270 Star's Holographic Deserted Island Life 15
After dinner, Zhang Xiaojia continued to assign tasks. "This afternoon, the four of you will go fetch loess and water. Burn some wood ash and shellfish and prepare some mud according to the ratio I taught you this morning. Apply it evenly on the stone wall. Once the mud wall is dry and hard, you can continue to build it up. Remember to apply mud on both the outside and the inside. I'm going to go find some food."
Bai Hao nodded seriously. He wasn't afraid of working, as long as he had something to eat. He was hungry...
Lin Lin said unconvincedly, "Why did you go looking for food? It's such an easy job?"
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and said, "Okay, I'll stay and clean the walls, and you and Li Yang will go find some food together."
After saying this, Zhang Xiaojia went straight back to bed to rest.
Li Yang looked at Lin Lin with resentment and said unhappily, "Your conscience has been eaten by a dog! The boss found all this food, but you pick up the bowl to eat the meat and put it down to curse your mother. Besides, who worked the hardest when we were building the wall this morning? Who moved each stone? The four of us mixed the mud and spread the clay, and that was the easiest job."
He grew angrier and angrier as he spoke. He slapped Lin Lin on the back and continued to scold him, "Going into the jungle to find food? Do you know how to eat wild vegetables or hunt prey? The roads are difficult to walk on. A short 20-minute walk might take over an hour."
Li Bai looked at Lin Lin seriously and said, "Linlin, we are brothers, but Zhang Xiaojia is my boss. You have to respect my boss, otherwise we can't be brothers anymore."
Lin Lin murmured and nodded.
In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaojia chose to go diving. She put all the plastic bottles into the basket, took three large baskets, and came to the stream. She filled them all with water, carried one basket on her back, and used a shoulder pole to carry the other two baskets and jump away.
At this time, Tang Jifeng suddenly appeared. He came alone, and Zhang Xiaojia took the dagger directly in his hand.
A thousand horses raced through Tang Jifeng's mind...
He jumped up with the carrying pole and helped her jump the water to her shelter. After saying sorry to her, he left immediately, leaving Zhang Xiaojia very confused.
Is he crazy...?
On the way back, Tang Jifeng thought about the phone call he had with that bastard He Fei yesterday. That beast He Fei said that Zhang Xiaojia was his woman, and that his brother actually bullied his woman.
Damn it...
Zhang Xiaojia didn't care and went back to wait for them.
The three of them worked quickly, finishing the wall in no time. Afterward, they sat down on a rock to rest. At this moment, Bai Hao curiously asked Zhang Xiaojia, "Boss, your house is about 60 square meters. Does it need to be divided into rooms?"
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and nodded in affirmation, explaining, "Originally, I planned to divide it into two bedrooms and a living room, but now I've changed my mind. I plan to build a large kang (fired bed) along the wall, eight meters long and two meters wide. This way, the room only needs to be three meters wide. In the center of the kang, we can use a fire wall to divide it in two, forming two separate rooms. The room doesn't need to be too large, and the rest of the space can be converted into a living room with a fireplace, so we won't feel cold in the living room."
Bai Hao asked, "Can you make a kang?"
Zhang Xiaojia nodded and said confidently, "Is it possible? I haven't done it before, but I've seen it before. It shouldn't be difficult."
The two men looked at her, and Zhang Xiaojia didn't feel guilty at all.
Jian Bai asked, "Bai Hao, how did you get here?"
Bai Hao's mouth twitched as he said speechlessly, "Lin Lin and I landed on the island on the 3rd. We were a group of six, four amateurs, two couples. Little did we know that their girlfriends were fans of Lin Lin's girlfriends. Can you imagine what happened? We were expelled. We walked all the way to find food. We encountered several teams and were directly expelled. We walked like this for a week and finally arrived here."
Zhang Xiaojia laughed and said, "Work honestly, or you will be expelled."
Bai Hao immediately said, "I will definitely work hard."
Li Yang and Lin Lin returned excitedly, apparently having a bountiful harvest. Looking at the food in the baskets, Zhang Xiaojia sneered, "Do you really want to lie down so early?"
Lin Lin said unhappily, "This is taro, do you recognize it?"
Zhang Xiaojia said coldly, "This is mountain taro, also known as wild taro or calla lily. It is the rhizome of the Araceae family calla lily. The whole plant of calla lily is poisonous, and the stem is the most poisonous. The main toxic substances are calcium oxalate and saponin (also known as calla lily).
Calla lily poisoning is mainly caused by skin contact and accidental ingestion, which can cause itching, redness, swelling, and numbness of the skin. If it gets into the eyes, it can cause blindness. Oral ingestion can cause symptoms such as stiff tongue, itchy throat, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, shortness of breath, diarrhea, sweating, etc. Severe poisoning can cause suffocation, cardiac paralysis and death.
The leaves you dug look like a heart, right? Be careful with this. Basically, most heart-shaped leaves are not suitable for use. This Araceae calla lily is also commonly known as the dripping angel. If you don't understand it, don't touch it, especially plants from the Araceae family.
Don't be anxious, just wait and see your hands and you'll know if what I said is true."
Lin Lin still didn't take it seriously, but the slap in the face came so quickly. In less than ten minutes, both of their hands were itchy and swollen.
Zhang Xiaojia pointed and said, "You two go dig a hole down there and bury the wild taro and the basket together."
Lin Lin said unconvincedly, "My hands are injured, and you still ask us to work? Besides, we are helping you find food."
Zhang Xiaojia said coldly, "Help me find food? Have you been praised too much after becoming a star in recent years? First of all, don't take on a job if you don't have the skills. I was supposed to find food, but you went looking for it, and you found this thing. If I didn't know it, we would all be in trouble. Second, you are a farmhand, don't you know it? If you don't go to work, tonight's dinner is cancelled."
Li Yang was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he just slapped him on the head, dragged him by the collar and went down to dig a hole with an engineering shovel.
Lin Lin continued to mutter, "Yangyang, why are you so cowardly? We got hurt because we were helping them find food. Don't you know how to be grateful?"
Li Yang watched him and listened to his words. It turned out that he was the same. He interrupted directly, "Linlin, don't you want to eat the food? Don't you want to live in the house? Others do things for granted and enjoy them. When you do things, you are just helping others."
Li Yang ignored him and dug a hole himself. After burying the wild taro and the basket, he went straight up. Zhang Xiaojia threw him a plastic bottle with a green liquid in it.
"Pour it out and apply it to the itchy, red and swollen area, and it will heal quickly."
Today's dinner was taro, wild vegetable and snake soup, plus a grilled fish. After dinner, without Zhang Xiaojia's instructions, Li Yang and the others took out the dry vines and weaved a large basket.
