Chapter 648: The Vase Girl Farms on a Deserted Island (20)
In the summer on tropical islands, there is a lot of rain. They have been here for two days without seeing any rain. It is good luck, but good luck cannot last forever.
On the way back, Xu Yin picked up a few branches of relatively consistent lengths and thicknesses and a bundle of vines, cleared the road to the base camp, and built a simple fence around it.
There are not many branches around, so let’s leave it like this for now. When the house is built and I have time, I can bring back more branches and make the fence look more presentable.
Back at the base camp, the male compatriots had almost dug out all the fibers from the tree core.
Except for Xiao Ke and Sister Fan, the female compatriots in charge of collecting firewood have gone to relieve themselves, and the others have also come back one after another. Only the sea salt that Tang Yitian is responsible for has not yet produced results.
Xu Yin knew at a glance that the fire was too small.
She stepped forward and added a few sticks of firewood, turned up the fire again, and said casually: "Low fire cooks too slowly."
Tang Yitian: “…”
Don’t I know that it cooks more slowly over low heat? No matter what season it is, it’s midsummer! It's still broad daylight! The fire is burning under the scorching sun. The fire is so strong that the small coconut shells will dry out after being filled with water. If you have to add water from time to time, people have to wait nearby. Who can bear this! You can do it, you can come?
Before he finished yelling in his heart, he heard Xu Yin say: "I'll do it!"
…”
Xu Yin took a sip of water and first taught several female compatriots in Xiaolu how to soak the fiber dug out from the tree core in water and scrub it out to remove the starch.
What should I do if I don’t have a bucket or basin?
I temporarily used hollowed tree trunks, cut them into several sections, and made a few bottomless wooden barrels. I put them on the disposable plastic bathtub cover that Xiao Ke contributed—she used when taking a bubble bath in the hotel bathtub. It was quite practical.
Then come over and exchange with Tang Yitian.
Seeing her stunned, Xu Yin raised her eyebrows lightly: "What? Do you like this job? Then you continue?"
…”
Who likes it? Who continues!
Tang Yitian quickly stood up: "Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll go help Xiaolu and the others."
"Um."
Xu Yin added water to the coconut shell and wood to the fire.
The bonfire rekindled the same glow as when she left it.
The coconut shell is seven to eight percent full of sea water, boiling and sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She was not in a hurry and slowly added water. After adding water, she added firewood. After adding firewood, she added water...
Tang Yitian walked a few steps and turned back, and saw this scene.
…”
Isn’t this woman hot?
Xu Yin: Learn more about the Xingxing brand automatic thermostat!
“Ah ah ah! Help!! There is a snake!!”
Xiao Ke's scream came from the inside of the island.
Xu Yin quickly shouted: "Xiaolu, help look after the fire!"
After saying that, the person rushed out.
When Lu Chenjin saw this, he stood up suddenly and was about to follow him, but was stopped by Ah Da: "Sir, Ah Er and I will go and see."
Lu Chenjin waved his hand away: "You look at what's yours, and I look at mine."
…”
On the other side, Xu Yin inadvertently showed off her magical powers and rushed to the scene following the cry for help.
When Xiao Ke saw her, he seemed to have seen a savior, crying: "Xu Yin..."
“Where’s the snake?”
"There." Xiao Ke shook his hands and pointed to the place where Sister Fan was squatting.
Just as Miss Fan was about to get up after undressing, she was stared at by a snake more than two meters long. She was so frightened that she did not dare to move at all, for fear that if she moved, the snake would fly over.
Xu Yin saw the snake's head clearly and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was non-venomous.
But he didn’t waste any time. He picked up a big stone he picked up on the road, aimed it and threw it towards the snake’s head.
“Ah!” Xiao Ke was dumbfounded.
What if you miss and make the snake angry instead?
However, before she could recover, the snake snapped, was hit by a stone, and fell limply to the ground. Xiao Ke: “…”
Sister Fan took a deep breath and looked at Xu Yin with gratitude and emotion: "Thank you... thank you... thank you Yin Yin."
Lu Chenjin rushed to the scene panting, and saw the big snake with a big hole in its head, and then looked at Xu Yin who was hugged by Sister Fan and Xiao Ke crying and laughing, and her heart slowly fell back to its original state. at.
Speaking of which, why is she so fast?
He was sprinting at the full speed of the 100-meter race in his student days. Even Ah Da and Ah Er were left behind by him, not to mention the others. However, he failed to catch up with her...
Fortunately, everyone is fine.
Lu Chenjin shook her head, walked to Xu Yin, and picked up the snake with a branch before her.
"Don't throw it away!" Xu Yin grabbed him, "It's not poisonous and can be eaten."
…”
???”
!!”
When everyone reacted, they remembered that this was a desert island.
Snake meat was something that would have been unthinkable to use when supplies were abundant in the past, but at this moment, it was an excellent protein.
Lu Chenjin was silent for a while and asked Adana to deal with it.
Ah Er is responsible for tapping the surrounding grass with branches to see if there are any of its kind.
Xu Yin is thinking about the necessity of building a public toilet.
On the way back, I discussed it with Lu Chenjin.
She didn't even realize that every time she had any ideas or thoughts, as long as Lu Chenjin was next to her, she would be the first to tell him.
Lu Chenjin lowered his eyes and listened carefully, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.
Ada, who came back from processing the snake meat: Boss, is this a joke? I haven’t caught up yet!
Director Cheng and other male compatriots breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xiao Ke and Lao Fan coming back safe and sound:
“It’s good that everyone is fine. It’s normal for insects and snakes to appear on tropical islands. You must be careful when going to densely wooded areas in the future. If you drive away the snakes this time, you may encounter them again next time...”
“Director Cheng, the snake didn’t run away.” Xiao Ke interrupted him.
“Huh? You didn’t run away, are you still there?”
Xiao Ke was completely calm now, and pointed to the snake meat in Ada's hand with a smile, "Here it is!"
!!”
Who is so fierce? Not only did he save the person, but he also took out the snake!
When they found out it was Xu Yin, everyone thought it was a normal operation.
“Speaking of which, Xiao Xu, have you ever come into contact with a snake before? How do you know where its seven inches is? I always hear people say that if you hit a snake, it will hit the seven inches, but I don’t even know where the seven inches of the snake are.”
Xu Yin was still thinking about how to build a public toilet. When asked about the seven inches of a snake, she was also confused.
She didn’t know where the seven inches of the snake were.
"Anyway, I just hit it on the head. If the head falls off, how can I survive? What if I count seven inches and it attacks before I finish counting?"
…”
What you said makes sense, but I am speechless.
In any case, the threat is removed and a high-protein meal is obtained.
This is great news for everyone who is worried about what to eat every day and has no meal at all.
“I heard that snake meat is very nourishing.”
“It’s delicious, isn’t it? Should it be roasted and eaten?”
“I heard that there is a famous dish in Guangcheng called Taishi Five Snake Soup. Does it mean that it is more delicious when stewed into a soup?”
“That requires broth to enhance the flavor, and abalone, mushrooms, and chicken to assist. It doesn’t matter what we want now. It’s good to be full. Don’t think about such a difficult dish.”
“That’s true, let’s bake it.”
…”
