Magician's Live Stocking Daily [Infinite]
Chapter 208: Life Skills Competition
After a few rains, the temperature dropped sharply.
Even though it was still raining outside, the primitive people who had been stuck in the house for a month couldn't stand it anymore and went out to find things to do.
The warriors who had practiced bows and spears hard finally had the opportunity to put them into practice, and went to the forest together to show their skills.
Li Yang received a lot of deer legs and pork legs, and has been making bone soup at home every day recently.
The milky white bone soup is sweet and thirst-quenching. You can have a bowl of it before or after a meal, and then have some ordinary home-cooked dishes, such as smashed cucumbers and stir-fried vegetables with bacon, and you'll eat it all day long.
Her life now is very regular: reading and sleeping in the morning, working out in the afternoon, and practicing magic in the evening.
After three months in this plane, not only has my knowledge reserve been enriched, my scrolls have exploded, and my body has also become much stronger.
After lifting weights, Li Yang stared at the numbers on the electronic scale, then jumped off and went to the mirror next to the closet to look at the muscles of her arms and legs. She was happy.
Although he still looks very thin now, it is actually not a problem for him to kick the player who comes to cause trouble three meters away.
Hehehe, the Vajra Goddess.
With only one week left in the fourth month, the weather finally began to clear up.
Summer had long since disappeared in the autumn rains, and the outdoor temperature had already dropped below 20 degrees Celsius.
It didn't feel too cold when the sun was out, but the temperature dropped dramatically after nightfall, with the lowest temperature only in single digits.
Everyone is well aware that winter is coming.
Even without the extra tests, cold and hunger were like two huge mountains, pressing down on primitive people with scarce resources and making it hard for them to breathe. Every winter, a large number of children and the elderly could not survive and died completely.
Most of the food stored in the tribe had been consumed in the previous rainy month. If they wanted to survive this winter, they needed more food and warm clothing.
Therefore, hunting, fishing and gathering activities are urgent.
The planting team was also unwilling to give up the vegetables they had worked so hard to grow, so they agreed to go to the farmland together to take another look.
A miracle happened——
The underground crops that had been planted previously were not completely corroded!
After pulling off the withered vines swaying on the ground and digging up the moist soil, they saw fully ripe potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Doomsday Crops never give up!
Although they are small in size and their yield is far less than that of Li Yang's yard, they are still food!
It's edible food!
And because of the high starch content, the feeling of fullness is very strong, and three small potatoes can make a meal.
Many millets and round beans on the right also survived, perhaps because they are local products of the island and have naturally evolved to the point where the fittest survive.
Everyone picked some ripe ones and took them back.
Take care of the rest and pick them immediately if the weather seems not right.
In addition, the orchard also had a good harvest of apples and kiwis.
In fact, these two crops mature in autumn.
The kiwis are in perfect condition now. Some with slightly yellow skin are obviously soft. After peeling off the hairy skin, you can eat the sour and sweet flesh inside. Some are still hard to the touch and taste very sour and a little bitter, so you can wait a while.
There are not many apples left. Because they ripen early, many of them have been blown down by acid rain and strong winds, and only one in ten remains on the trees.
The apples here are bright red, not particularly sweet, but very crisp and juicy. Li Yang likes them very much, they taste very refreshing.
When the weather gets colder, fruits can be stored longer. You don’t have to worry about them going bad. You can pick them and take them home to eat slowly.
Meat, of course.
But the temperature has not dropped below zero yet, so it is best to process it and make it into jerky.
After acid rain, not only people need to go out to find food, but animals do too.
In the past few days, the tribal warriors have encountered wolf packs in the forest several times. Together with the wolf skins they had saved before and some given by Li Yang, they finally collected 17 animal skin coats before the fifth month arrived.
When it comes to survival, primitive people don’t have much awareness of dressing up.
After repeatedly washing the blood stains from the animal skin with rain water, they spread it out in a place with sufficient sunlight to dry the moisture, and thus obtained the raw material for a leather garment.
The bone needles and straw ropes made before can come in handy again at this time.
Although the seams are crooked, it does not affect wearing.
Wrapping yourself in warm clothes will make you feel much better during the day, but if you want to avoid being woken by the cold at night, you still have to light a fire.
The common area in the middle is now occupied by a bonfire, which burns all night long. The cold cannot even approach this small tribe and is repelled by the heat.
In the evening, everyone's activities changed from chatting and discussing archery skills to competing to see who could chop more firewood.
The four extra stone houses built before now have a clear division of labor:
The two large ones are the granary and the indoor breeding farm.
The smaller one is the smoking room, and the other one was previously occupied by Jiang Ming as an indoor pottery kiln.
Now that the rain has stopped and the demand for pottery in the tribe is not as great, this stone house has been left idle and used as a grocery storage room.
Although it is called sundries, the largest amount of stuff in it is actually wood. In addition, there are shells, limestone, rocks with high iron content, and various public tools.
Perhaps there is some stored rubber, lacquer and pine oil.
At the invitation of the believers, Li Yang visited their stone house. The logistics manager Jiang Xun took good care of everything, which made her feel at ease.
When seeing the last grocery store and the grand scene of everyone chopping wood around the fire, Li Yang suddenly thought of an interesting activity:
"In order to commend you for successfully passing the acid rain test and actively preparing for the next stage, I plan to take out some as prizes and hold a tribal event called 'Life Skills Competition'."
"Is it just to test everyone's ability to survive?" Jiang Xun asked.
"Yes." Li Yang said, "Considering everyone's different strengths, we will divide them into four groups this time: sewing, knitting, chopping wood, and construction. There will be opportunities for other events later. The competition is tentatively scheduled to last three days."
Why are these four groups given priority?
Because the food is almost prepared, keeping warm now has absolute priority.
(Secretly) And as a goddess, she can also get some bamboo baskets and firewood for free.
In fact, there were only three groups originally. Ten minutes ago, Jesse asked her for instructions, which made Li Yang change her mind temporarily.
Jesse's idea was simple. He felt that although burning fires in public areas could keep out the cold to a certain extent, it consumed too much firewood and was not windproof.
"So what do you think?" Li Yang decided to ask for his opinion first.
"I think we can build a wall around the stone house and the fire to keep the wind out," Jesse said after thinking it over.
"Then why not just warm yourself by the fire in the stone house?" Li Yang asked?
"Oh, this is too dangerous." Jesse shook his head.
"What if we build an extra wall indoors as you said? We just need to leave a vent at the top. It will not only save firewood but also be safer." Li Yang drew a simple diagram on the soft mud ground with a wooden stick.
Jesse's eyes sparkled with excitement.
He could hardly restrain himself from jumping up. "Why didn't I think of this?! This is amazing. Thank you, my kind and wise goddess!"
In this way, the building successfully squeezed into the group of this competition.
On the surface, it seems to be a competition of abilities, but in fact it is to urge the labor force to seize the last three days of the month and make full use of their expertise to do a good job.
