Cosmic bosses start from collecting trash

Chapter 114 Sundial
Xiao Ze took the wild pork out of the cold water and put it in the pot.

When the water boils, add salt, skim off the cooked blood foam, fish out the wild boar meat, drain the water, tie it with vines and hang it in the woodshed like other dried meats.

A firewood house is a place with no walls and only a roof made of leaves to store dry firewood.

It's just a more refined firewood shed.

All the air-dried meat had previously been hung in the firewood room.

Now the log house has been built.

Xiao Ze planned to transfer all the air-dried meat to the beams of the wooden house after he finished his work.

Save yourself being bitten by a bird from time to time.

Canned bacon was also piled in the corner of the cabin.

You can rest assured that important food is kept by your side.

Life is gradually getting better.

There is no shortage of meat, no shortage of water, and houses to live in.

Xiao Ze is very satisfied with the status quo and is content with it.

But what he didn't know was that extremes lead to opposites.

Staying in a familiar environment for a long time, people will always yearn for the outside world, and it is only a matter of time, or they are incapable.

Xiao Ze put the dirty clay bucket aside after handling the wild boar meat, and planned to go to the seaside to wash it again when he had time.

Although there is no shortage of fresh water, fresh water cannot be wasted.

After all, filtration and disinfection also take energy.

Xiao Ze sat on the ground and rested for a few minutes.

He began to transfer the air-dried meat in the firewood room and a large number of clay pots containing pheasant and hare meat.

After thinking about it, he still put the clay pot at the door.

He plans to make two stoves in the cabin.

Even cured meat can easily spoil if the temperature is too high.

The eaves can block the sun, and the nights are cold.

So it's okay to put the clay pot outside the wooden house.

Xiao Ze looked at the time. It was only four o'clock now, so he planned to collect mud and stones to build a stove. But when he looked at his watch, he suddenly thought of what if Shen Luoning's watch ran out of power.
The concept of time has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Losing the sense of time is a torment.

Xiao Ze intends to make a simple sundial based on the watch tomorrow, and then take a good rest for another day.

He rolled a thick stone slab like a millstone to the door of the wooden house to level it, and with great effort he dug a deep hole in the middle that could be inserted into a wooden stick.

After a short rest.

Xiao Ze collected the soil and stones.

Then go back to the log cabin and build the stove.

The structure of the stove is not difficult to make.

The opening of the pot, the opening for adding firewood, and the opening of the chimney.

Xiao Ze had left a hole in the wall long ago, and after the stove on the left was built, he walked out of the wooden house, and the chimney was stretched out for a certain distance with mud and grass.

Continue to lengthen the chimney upwards.

Hot particles will rise.

The longer the chimney, the better.

Xiao Ze was afraid that his workmanship was not good enough, so he smashed a wooden stake under the chimney in advance to prevent it from collapsing.

But the chimney collapsed once.

By this time the girls had returned.

With refined salt and seafood.

Xiao Ze asked them to cook first.

Keep working on the chimney yourself.

As a result, the chimney collapsed again the second time.

Xiao Ze directly confronted the chimney.

The third time he was more cautious.

This time I finally extended the chimney to one meter.

Xiao Ze was not in a hurry to eat the rice when it was cooked.

He would fill the stove with firewood and light it directly.

This way the chimney dries faster.

It will be dark soon.

After dinner, Xiao Ze inserted a few torches into the gaps that had been left long ago in the wooden house, and worked overtime to make the stove on the right. And the size must be exactly the same!
OCD is eternal pain.

After the two stoves were lit.

The cabin warmed up instantly.

The crackling of firewood, accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds outside the door, seemed to be playing a symphony.

Ease, tranquility, and peace.

The pillow was also replaced with a rabbit fur pillow, filled with fragrant herbal plants. This was the best sleep he had had since landing on the island, and it was extremely comfortable.

One day, early in the morning.

The sun rises from the sea level.

Wearing a rabbit fur scarf, hat, and gloves, Xiao Ze walked out of the wooden house in a chic manner.

In two or three strokes, the previous shelter was demolished.

He's not a nostalgic man, the old shelter standing next to the log cabin is too much of an eyesore.

After Xiao Ze finished dismantling the shelter, he walked to the parallel bars for morning exercises, but suddenly remembered the tree climbing skills, and his eyes lit up.

When the tree was cut down earlier, the eggs were all smashed to pieces and inedible, and he had been hungry for a long time.

Wild eggs can occasionally be found in clutches.

But those wild eggs are really not enough!

Xiao Ze did what he said, and he tied a vine to the insteps of his feet, which would increase the friction and make it easier to climb up trees to borrow eggs.

How can such a thing be called stealing?

Xiao Ze suddenly thought that if he wrote an autobiography on a deserted island after he went back, would there be a living Buddha alive who said that he took out bird eggs, which would make the mother bird very sad.

But his eyes dimmed immediately.

It's been almost two months.

I don't know when the life on the desert island will end.

Xiao Ze shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and climbed up a relatively low tree nearby.

as predicted.

Relying on the muscles he had developed over a long period of self-discipline, he easily climbed to the top of the tree and borrowed the bird's eggs.

But when he climbed the eighth tree, the vine that had just climbed halfway to his feet broke.

Xiao Ze didn't dare to climb any further and slid down.

Otherwise, it's no joke to drop it.

Xiao Ze waited until almost eight o'clock, went back to the wooden house and woke up the girls, and together they lifted the sundial onto a stool made of tree roots not far from the door, where the sun shines every day.

The sun has long since risen.

The reason why Xiao Ze is tinkering with sundials now is because the sun rises at different times in four seasons.

Not to mention it's so cold in the morning.

Especially in winter.

He has a fucking use for checking the time in the morning.

Start engraving the sundial at eight o'clock.

It's summer.

The sundial is carved until the sun goes down.

"What is this for?" Jiang Qianyu asked curiously.

"Make a simple sundial." Xiao Ze said.

"Oh." Jiang Qianyu replied.

"You don't have to do anything today but make a mark on the sundial every hour."

Xiao Ze picked up a [-]cm wooden stick and inserted it into the hole in the middle of the sundial. When he found that the time was almost up, he picked up a piece of gravel and drew a deep mark at the position of the stick's shadow, and then carved a mark next to the number. The ancient Roman numeral VIII.

“Why ancient Roman numerals?”

"Because it's straight." Xiao Ze said indifferently.

"Oh." Fang Chiqing suddenly realized.

"Let's cook, fry the eggs." Xiao Ze decisively sent Shen Luoning to fry the eggs.

Xiao Ze didn't want to do anything today.

It was hard to build the wooden house.

Can't he enjoy it?
after eating.

Xiao Ze asked Fang Chi to gently carry the "chessboard".

Fang Chiqing quickly carried over the pottery chessboard with 19 roads and two jars of "chess pieces".

Xiao Ze handed a leaf to Jiang Qianyu, put one leaf under his body, and sat cross-legged.

"Young Master Xiao, are you still convinced?" Jiang Qianyu's red lips curled up in a charming arc as she spoke.

"You'd better not release the water, otherwise I will make you unable to get out of bed tomorrow." Xiao Ze threatened.

"I'm willing to accompany you, you choose." Jiang Qianyu stretched out her slender hand as a gesture of invitation.

If it weren't for good fortune to trick people.

Jiang Qianyu is also the daughter of a rich family.

It's a pity that he was harmed by Zhang Chen.

Xiao Ze sighed secretly in his heart, and brought a jar of chess pieces in front of him.

Lifting the cover, it turned out to be the first "black chess".

Xiao Ze couldn't help showing a bright smile.
