Chapter 288 Star's Deserted Island Life 34
On the way back, the reader kept reminding her of food. Don’t talk to her about food now, as she wants to go back and play with the panda cubs and coax them to sleep.
Back at the shelter, looking at this group of people, I felt a dark feeling in my heart. I decided to leave He Fei behind and kick everyone else off the line! They will snatch my panda cub away. No one can refuse a panda cub.
Zhang Xiaojia held the panda cub in her arms and took out a bamboo shoot for it.
The first thing He Fei saw was the panda cub that Jia Jia was pregnant with. The corners of his mouth twitched. It seemed that she didn't want him anymore in the next two days.
Lin Lin was also surprised to find Zhang Xiaojia holding a ball. Did she want to eat it?
Xia Yu was fine the past two days, but he was very tired today and felt dizzy. Why did he see a panda in his sister-in-law's arms?
Aren’t holograms supposed to be the most realistic? There are pandas on the island???
Xia Yu rubbed his eyes and pulled the person next to him to ask, "Li Yang, what is my sister-in-law holding in her arms? A panda?"
Li Yang didn't look at it and answered casually, "Are you crazy? How could there be a panda on the island? The hologram is not that crazy???" After Li Yang looked up, he was already crazy. It was really a panda~~~ He screamed "Panda~~~"
Zhang Xiaojia rolled her eyes at him, and then she saw a group of people stop working and run to her, wanting to touch and hug the panda.
"Sister-in-law, can you let me hold the panda cub?"
"Get lost!"
Fortunately, the panda liked her and kept asking her to hold him. Zhang Xiaojia sneered, "Hurry up and get back to work, or I'll really feed you all to the big black bear."
Under Zhang Xiaojia's high pressure, they could only work, but their eyes were on the panda cub in Zhang Xiaojia's arms.
Xia Yu pulled He Fei and said, "Brother, tell my sister-in-law to let me hold the panda cub."
He Fei looked at her coldly and said nothing.
Tang Jifeng laughed and said, "Xiaoyu, didn't you see? Zhang Xiaojia doesn't even want your brother, so how could he possibly hold a panda cub for you?"
He Fei's face turned dark.
Once completed, the stone wall will assume a neat rectangular shape, approximately 20 meters long and 15 meters wide. However, judging by the current progress of the project, it's simply unrealistic to expect the entire wall to be completed today. Even the most basic foundations are unlikely to be finished today. At a normal construction pace, this massive project will require at least a full week to complete.
Fortunately, dense thorn fences had been planted in front and around it in advance. In front of the thorn fence, they also dug a deep pit, which greatly improved safety.
.........
When they woke up the next day, they were stunned to see the big black bear circling their shelter.
The situation now is that she can't get out. It's not because she can't fight, but because there is not enough salt at home. Both bear meat and bear skin need salt, a lot of salt. The shelter is surrounded by deep pits, and there is water in the pits, which prevents the big black bear from entering.
If they were replaced by a nimble and agile tiger, a swift and powerful leopard, or a cunning and ferocious wolf pack, they would be able to rely on their excellent jumping ability to overcome these obstacles and pose a threat to the people inside.
But now, the big black bear can only stare blankly outside the shelter, occasionally making a few low roars to vent its dissatisfaction.
Zhang Xiaojia also sat on the rock and played with the red panda. They were a group of men and didn't want girls to build a wall. She was bored to death. Xia Yu also squatted down and played with the red panda.
Zhang Xiaojia decided to make a bow and arrow. She used a sapling that was of moderate hardness and length. She placed the wood upright on the ground, gently grasped the upper end with one hand, and then gently pressed down until the middle part bent outwards, observing the direction of its natural curvature.
Place the lower end of the bow on the ground and hold the upper end with your hands, then gently push the bow belly outward from the handle to gradually shape it.
Cut a small groove at each end of the bow, the groove should be deep enough to hold the string firmly.
A simple bow and arrow was made.
Only the upper string remains.
Zhang Xiaojia can only use vine strings,
That's it! This is the best she can do.
Zhang Xiaojia pulled it down a little harder until it was fully bowed and it would be fine as long as it didn't break.
The arrowhead is simple, just need to be strong and hard, and only need to be 60 cm long.
One end of the arrow shaft is sharpened to make the arrowhead and heated over fire to make it harder and sharper, and a groove is carved on the other end of the arrow shaft for stringing.
Zhang Xiaojia was so bored that he made seventy or eighty arrows.
Seeing the big black bear was about to go to the water pipe, Zhang Xiaojia picked up the bow and arrow and shot it. Looking at the accuracy, she estimated that she could not kill the prey with a bow and arrow, so she could only use stones to hit the big black bear to prevent it from getting close to the water pipe.
Looking at the big black bear roaring at her, Zhang Xiaojia made a face at it.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the stone wall they built, which was about 30 centimeters high. Seeing them resting, Zhang Xiaojia immediately brought water to He Fei, "Brother He, have some water."
He Fei picked up the bow and arrow and shot directly towards the big black bear, hitting the big black bear's feet. "Jia Jia, this bow and arrow is well made. After it is built, I will go with you to shoot the wild boar."
He Fei saw Xia Yu on the side and immediately said angrily, "Go cook, you have no sense at all."
Xia Yu can only go to cook,
Zhang Xiaojia leaned her head on He Fei's shoulder. He Fei touched her head and said soothingly, "Jia Jia, your mentality is wrong! This is a holographic game. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you don't participate. You've been worrying about food for the winter. Slow down. There are only two days left until a month. If you keep this mentality, we will log off."
"Am I in a hurry?"
"Yes, very anxious. This time, let me find the food, okay?"
Zhang Xiaojia knew that he was too dependent on the space grid. Without the space grid, he could not store things or take things out, and he felt something was wrong.
"You're mean to me~" Zhang Xiaojia looked at him with red eyes deliberately
Old Swan, this is a hologram, his every move is magnified under the camera~
He Fei kissed her lips hard.
Zhang Xiaojia looks at the supplies: 2 sheep, 1 baby porcupine, 3 rabbits (all alive)
More than 100 fish, 10 jin of dried shellfish, half a pickled lamb, 2 salted rabbits, 160 jin of sweet potatoes, 50 jin of chestnuts, 10 jin of dried bamboo shoots, and 20 jin of corn.
It looked like a lot, there were nine of them, six of them were adult men, and she also had a big appetite.
One fish weighs only 3 taels, more than 100 fish weigh only more than 30 jin, and half a marinated sheep weighs only 30 jin.
If they go to the sea every day, they can maintain it, but now they want to build a stone wall. However, when winter comes, their clothes are summer clothes. Do they want to freeze to death?
I calculated that today's sea-hunting time is 16:40, and it is now 16:00.
Zhang Xiaojia directly arranged the deployment and said, "He Fei, take Lin Lin and Bai Hao to build the foundation. Jian Bai, you stay and cook. The rest of you and I will go to the beach."
Zhang Xiaojia put the panda on the ground and surrounded it with bamboo.
Tang Jifeng saw Li Yang and Zhang Xiaojia carrying a backpack basket and two baskets on a shoulder pole, so he followed their example and carried three baskets, including a waist basket.
Li Yang said, "Boss, are we still focusing on shellfish today? That's not worth it! Ten kilograms of shellfish will only yield a little over one kilogram at most after drying."
Zhang Xiaojia nodded and said, "First, shellfish is the main thing. The stone wall needs shell powder, so after it's built, less shellfish will be enough. Secondly, fish and kelp. There's no need to go to the trouble of looking for crabs, as they are difficult to preserve."
Zhang Xiaojia and the others arrived at the beach. The most common seafood on the mudflats was oysters. She and Li Yang didn't think much about it. After filling up their three baskets, they went their separate ways to look for fish and shrimps.
Go to the rocky beach and the shallow sea, and put all the fish into the waist basket. Zhang Xiaojia was very lucky today, and got a waist basket full of prawns. Each prawn was half the width of a palm.
"Sister-in-law, come here, can we eat these two fish? They are so ugly!" Xia Yu shouted
Zhang Xiaojia walked over and saw that this one was an anglerfish, a deep-sea fish, weighing nearly 20 kilograms. The other two weighed 40 kilograms. She tied them up with ropes and said, "You can eat them. This is a holographic world, and everything is prone to being stranded. I wouldn't be surprised even if a whale came."
Tang Jifeng was holding a bluefin tuna, nearly 100 kilograms, and Zhang Xiaojia was speechless. What is this? It's amazing to get in through the back door~~
Zhang Xiaojia walked over and saw the tuna was still alive. She carried it to the shallow sea and hammered it to death. This ensured the tuna's texture and freshness. It's a highly active marine animal. If not handled promptly, it will continue to struggle and swim, consuming its internal energy and causing muscle tissue to self-consume, affecting the quality and texture of the meat. Hammering it to death also promotes blood drainage and cleansing, reducing blood clotting and congestion in muscle tissue.
She had sardines in her waist basket, and Zhang Xiaojia said directly, "Go home, go home and eat bluefin tuna~~~"
They ran all the way back to the sanctuary with the bluefin tuna in their arms.
Everyone looked at the bluefin tuna. Eating bluefin tuna raw is the greatest respect for it.
He Feilai cuts up a 100-jin (100-pound) bluefin tuna, and 70% of it is meat.
Bluefin tuna is divided into big belly, middle belly, and sashimi.
Zhang Xiaojia's favorite part was the big belly. He Fei gave half of the fish's big belly to Zhang Xiaojia, and they divided the remaining half.
Tang Jifeng snorted coldly, and everyone looked at him and stared at his midriff.
At this time, Zhang Xiaojia was holding a cute little panda. She happily picked up a piece of fish and fed it to the little panda, then took a big bite herself. The two of them ate with relish, and the scene was very cheerful.
Zhang Xiaojia still didn't forget He Fei, and specially left two pieces for him.
The little panda wanted more food, but Zhang Xiaojia didn't dare to give it to it. Seeing it looking pitifully at the two big bellies she had left for He Fei, Zhang Xiaojia cruelly pretended not to see it and fed the fish directly into He Fei's mouth.
The little panda jumped out of her arms and ran to Tang Jifeng. Looking at the big belly in his bowl, who could resist the cuteness of a panda? After Tang Jifeng gave it the fish, it took it and ran directly back to Zhang Xiaojia's arms.
Xia Yu also used his empty belly to lure the panda, "GongGong, come to my arms, I have a big belly here."
Jian Bai looked at the tuna that still weighed over fifty kilograms, frowned, and asked, "Boss, what should we do with the remaining tuna?"
Zhang Xiaojia spread his hands and said, "I don't know. I don't know if it's possible to pickle tuna. I'm broke, deeply in debt, and this is my first time eating it. Do we have salt?"
Jian Bai said, "Yes, the five new people gave us 5 kilograms of salt."
Liu Xinwei, who had been standing quietly nearby, suddenly said, "How about we make this tuna into fish floss? I've done it before, and it can be stored for a long time!"
Marinate half of the remaining tuna and make meat floss with the other half.
One pot can make a maximum of 5 kilograms at a time. They have two pots, and Jian Bai and Liu Xinwei worked together late into the night to make them.
The rest of the people began to peel off the meat from the cooked mussels and oysters and set them aside to dry. When they were done, there was no need for so many people, so the rest of the people all went to sleep.
