Infinite Disaster Survival.
Chapter 55
The sun is shining brightly, and the golden sun is shining enthusiastically, the blue waves are turbulent, and the cool waves are happily rolling up. Lowering down, holding the rice stalk in one hand and the sickle in the other.
The full rice ears are heavy, bending the rice stalks, and the dew that has not yet evaporated stays on them, reflecting the bright light. The mature rice is closely arranged in the farmland. A golden ocean blows out waves.
This is the [-]rd day of survival on a deserted island. The rice planted has matured, and Wen Zheng is preparing to harvest.
The island's climate is always warm, suitable for the growth of rice and barley. Wen Zheng didn't sow all the seeds for the first time when planting. He waited for those seeds to germinate and grow, and then replanted the remaining seeds with confidence.
The growth period of rice is about three months. At that time, Wen Zheng had just harvested the bamboo rice, thinking that he could save some food and eat the rice harvest. However, the maturity date of the rice was more than ten days later than expected.The bamboo rice was eaten two weeks ago, and the status of bamboo rice in people's hearts is far lower than that of rice. After the earing of the rice, Wen Zheng talked about the rice every day, thinking about the taste of white rice.
Now it’s finally time to harvest. Thinking back to the past few months of planting rice, as the only farmer on the deserted island, Wen Zheng has been paying attention to the problems in the farmland all the time, and has spent a lot of thought.
The seeds of rice and wheat are obtained from drift bottles. Obviously, they can be put into drift bottles and given to "Robinson", and the high-quality grain seeds artificially selected are placed in them.These rices have excellent resistance, and this artificially bred plant is sweeter than the wild grass that grows naturally.
At first, Wen Zheng didn't think about the problem of wild animals stealing food. The area where he lived was full of all kinds of seabirds and marine life. Except for the two small wild boars raised at home, a few snakes would come occasionally. visit.
Soon after these grass seedlings and wheat seedlings grow, they are like food exuding a wonderful aroma, attracting animals that love to eat.Every now and then, the fermented water in the pigsty is used to irrigate the farmland, and every day we go to the farmland to pull weeds. When the number of insects in the farmland increases, Wen Zheng notices it immediately.
The farmland is surrounded by grassland, where various insects grow wantonly. When they find that the rice seedlings and wheat seedlings smell sweeter, they scramble to the farmland and gather together to taste the delicious food of Pyeongchang.
How to deal with pests?After seeing all kinds of insects lying on the leaves of rice seedlings and wheat seedlings, the first thing Wen Zheng thought of was a good helper for catching pests - frogs, which he knew from elementary school textbooks.
But there are no frogs around here. I saw several kinds of frogs in the forest, but the appearance, especially the color, is far from ordinary frogs.Frogs can't do it, and those who like to eat bugs are birds. Wen Zheng set his sights on Tuantuan.
Wen Zheng divides the birds on the deserted island into two types. One type flies to the sea every morning and returns to the deserted island to rest in the evening. This type likes to eat all kinds of seafood. The figures of these seabirds are indispensable.There is also a bird in the mountain forest. This kind of bird is relatively small and usually forages in the mountain forest.
These two types of birds seldom stay on the grass where the beach is connected, especially after the groups become violent groups that love to fight. Even if there are plants that want to eat insects on the grass, they will stay far away from the cave. When he was caught by Tuantuan, he beat him violently.
Therefore, the rampant insects are also the reason why Tuan Tuan scares other birds away, so of course the task of dealing with insect pests must be handed over to Tuan Tuan.
At that time, Tuantuan was given this difficult task by Wen Zheng, and the whole bird didn't feel very well.He hadn't eaten worms for several months, Wen Zheng's cooking was so delicious, how could he think of Nami's unprocessed food and without any seasoning added.
In the face of Tuantuan's strong protest, Wen Zheng lamented Xia Tuantuan's recipe first. There are very few birds that don't like to eat bugs. The black box has evolved Tuantuan's sense of taste, which is closer to that of humans.If the evolution continues like this, will Tuantuan become a human one day, just like the legendary monster.
Just when Wen Zheng was frowning and thinking, Tuantuan couldn't help it anymore. He saw the worms in the farmland, and thought that after he had eaten them all, he flew to Wen Zheng's body and wanted to play coquettishly, roll around, and then Wen Zheng knocked him down. Twice the bird's head: "You are asked to deal with these pests, but you are not asked to go into battle yourself. Aren't you the king of birds? Call more birds to come and eat them, and it will be done soon."
That's right, Tuantuan suddenly realized that he stretched his neck back and forth and made a nodding motion, and flew out excitedly. After a few seconds, he turned into a small black shadow, and his flying speed became faster and faster. Wen Zheng didn't even have time. Speak out the other exhortations.
Ten minutes passed, and there was the sound of countless wings flapping in the distance, as well as the chirping of various birds. Birds of various sizes, colors and types flew over the sky and covered the sky. The scene was particularly shocking.It's just that the gray-blue feathers in the tufts are far from the legendary phoenix, otherwise it's like the legendary phoenix.
Wen Zheng once again had a deep understanding of Tuantuan's status among the birds on the desert island.
Tuan Tuan flew in the front and honked proudly under Wen Zheng's head.In the past, he only knew how to fight with these birds, but this time with so many obedient birds behind him, Tuantuan felt inexplicably proud. Even though the word majestic didn't come to his mind, it didn't prevent him from thinking that this feeling was really good.
Wen Zheng covered his forehead with a headache, and let Tuantuan fly out before giving instructions, and this was the result in the end.
During fights, Tuantuan never challenged small birds. He was more familiar with larger birds. Now the group that flew over was specially selected by Tuantuan. They were all big birds, densely packed. The ground flew together, completely covering the top of the rice field, even blocking the sunlight.
Tuantuan, I told you to call these birds to come and peck worms, not to fight.Looking around at these birds, the kind of beak that can peck clams may be able to peck off the weak rice seedlings directly.Not to mention their size, if they fell into these seedlings, they might overwhelm and trample the seedlings.
Wen Zheng waved his hand and told Tuan Tuan not to let these birds start working, and waited until Tuan Tuan flew down confusedly, then broke apart these reasons and explained them clearly to Tuan Tuan.Although he didn't understand much, Tuantuan obediently let the big birds go back. He ran to the forest again and called some small birds over.
Birds prefer to eat the grown rice and barley, and are not very interested in rice seedlings and wheat seedlings.Under Tuantuan's wise guidance, these little birds have controlled their own strength, not only not harming the seedlings, but also solving the problem of these pests.
After the pests were dealt with, there were no major problems. Wen Zheng's small life was extremely comfortable. After the turtles came to lay eggs, the problem came again, this time because of the climate problem.
The sea turtles came ashore to lay eggs, which foreshadowed the coming weather. Sure enough, in the next half a month or so, the weather was extremely sunny and hot, without any rain.
Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan were not short of water, but worried about the crops in the farmland.
Barley is still growing leaves, and its ability to tolerate drought is relatively strong, so it thrives in farmland.But the rice has begun to ear, and the rice is gradually changing from green to golden, but there are small ears of wheat growing on the top of the head, there are clusters of those birds, none of which dare to come and eat, Wen Zheng is worried that the lack of water will hinder the growth of the rice grow.
By the time the hatched turtles have entered the sea, the rice in the rice field has grown for more than three months and has not yet matured. The weather is still very dry, and the ground in the farmland is dry and cracked. At this time, the lack of water will seriously affect the growth of the rice. Yield.
Therefore, Wen Zheng found all the plastic bags and bottles in the cave. During the day, the plastic bags and bottles were combined and placed on the sea surface to purify the sea water. At night, the plastic bags were placed on the leaves, and the plastic bottles were placed in other places. Under the tree, use a rope to drain the water and collect the dew.
In addition to these methods of collecting fresh water, Wen Zheng also went to the mountains and forests to transport fresh water back and forth, and specially made buckets for carrying water.Choose the right wood and cut it into planks of the right size. The resin found in the mountains becomes a good adhesive after being heated and melted. The iron wire was not enough, Wen Zheng even used some bamboo strips to reinforce it.
The creek was too far away, and there were wild boars in the mud pit. Wen Zheng found a place with very moist soil and dug a big pit. The groundwater would gradually come up from it, which was just enough for Wen Zheng to run back and forth twice a day.
The days of carrying water to irrigate the fields did not last long. The hot and dry weather without rain has lasted for many days. Both Tuantuan and Wen Zheng had a premonition that a heavy rain would come soon. If the rice had not been eaten Wen Zheng will go crazy if the place is ruined by the heavy rain.
In the past, there were no convenient tools for harvesting crops, and there was no accurate weather forecast. Every time the rice matures, it is a very busy time for farmers, not only adults but also children are in a hurry.
In those places where rice is grown, the most fearful thing is the sudden rainstorm.After the rice is mature, the stalks of the rice will become softer. If a strong typhoon or heavy rain encounters, these mature rice will be blown down.After the rice falls down, it will be much more difficult to harvest, and the rice on it will fall off into the water, and it is likely to germinate after soaking in the water for a long time.
Feeling more and more flustered, Wen Zheng waited anxiously for a few days, and when he saw that the rice had finally matured, even though the sun was extremely hot, Wen Zheng had to harvest under the sun.The rice grains are full, and just looking at them gives people enough motivation.
With the brisk bamboo knife in Wen Zheng's hand, he recalled his family's posture of cutting rice when he was a child. From early morning to evening, he didn't even make any meals. Drinking some water and eating some jerky would fill his stomach.
Tuantuan went to the field to help himself. His sharp beak was very powerful and he could easily peck off the stalks. However, he had no hands, and the pecked stalks fell to the ground, and the rice on them fell off the ground, which increased the harvest. difficulty.
Because there are not many seeds, the harvested rice is also not too much. After preventing Tuantuan from helping, Wen Zheng worked for a whole day before harvesting all the rice.In order to save time, Wen Zheng only cut off the ears of rice, put them in bamboo baskets and carried them home to slowly thresh.Then he stayed up all night again and picked up all the rice that fell on the ground.
After moving all the rice back to the cave and sleeping for two or three hours, Wen Zheng got up to harvest the remaining rice stalks in the farmland. These were all piled up in the bamboo pavilion outside the cave to dry. Fortunately, a bamboo pavilion was built at that time. , otherwise things would have been too long ago.
Two days after the rice was harvested, the sun was still so strong, which happened to be a good time to dry the rice.Wen Zheng took out the bamboo mat he was sleeping on, cleaned it, spread it on the beach, and put the rice on it to dry.Freshly harvested rice contains a lot of water, and drying in the sun can delay the storage time.
During these days of drying, Wen Zheng didn't dare to leave too far away, he had to take care of them, and he had to turn over the rice from time to time, and put them away in time when the sun was too strong.
Wen Zheng always pays attention to the weather conditions. On the afternoon of the second day when the rice was drying, the weather suddenly changed, and he moved the rice back to the cave quickly but without panic.
Within a few minutes of arriving at the cave, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the dense raindrops were all connected into one piece, and all the ears were filled with the sound of clattering.If it was two days later, Wen Zheng would either give up the rice, or cut the rice in the heavy rain, and he might get sick again due to the rain, but fortunately he caught up.
When the bamboo rice was harvested, Wen Zheng made a stone mortar for pounding the rice. When it was raining outside, Wen Zheng stayed in the cave and started pounding the rice.The husk of the pounded rice is rice bran, and the rice grains inside are the rice we often eat.
This kind of rice is slender brown rice, and the output is not small, but I don't know how it tastes. Looking at the white and slender rice grains that were pounded out, the corners of Wen Zheng's mouth never dropped.
After harvesting the rice, Wen Zheng lived a happy life with staple food again.When the temperature on the island is not too low, it is a suitable time for planting rice. After resting for a few days, Wen Zheng let the little wild boars in the pigsty go out again, and there are still a lot of rice stems and leaves left in the ground. It just attracted the wild boars to arch the ground again.
The large and plump ones are selected from the newly harvested rice and planted as seeds in the farmland again.
The original drifting bottle was found from the cave. Wen Zheng still remembered the extreme excitement and excitement when he saw the seeds in the drifting bottle, so he found a lot of plastic bottles and bags in the cave. Bags and string tightly guard some of the rice grains, which can be used as seeds, and pack them into plastic bottles.
Wen Zheng made a total of three drifting bottles filled with rice, and took out the bamboo paper he made himself, using a blackened wooden stick as a charcoal pencil, and wrote a few words on it.Just a few words are his feelings during these days of surviving on a deserted island. Perhaps one day, this drifting bottle will reach the hands of those who need it.
When the weather was suitable, Wen Zheng carefully observed the flow direction of the sea water, and threw these drifting bottles into the sea.
Half a year has passed on the deserted island, and life is completely on the right track. The remaining days are not too long, and there is still no barley harvest, so Wen Zheng does not save at all when eating rice.
The breakfast has all turned into white rice porridge made from rice. The rice has absorbed a lot of water after being soaked in water, and then put it on the fire to cook with the water. The hard rice becomes soft, and all the nutrients in it flow into the water. When the pot is gurgling and steaming, the rice porridge is almost cooked.The boiled rice porridge was particularly soft and rotten, with a steaming white mist, shining brightly in the sun.
The extremely light white rice porridge, paired with marinated salted turtle eggs, is simply too delicious.
Pickling turtle eggs was Wen Zheng's sudden idea. At that time, he got a lot of turtle eggs from the beach. Seeing that they were almost full of egg yolks, Wen Zheng thought of the delicious taste of pickled duck egg yolks, so he immediately wanted to try it. .
The easiest way to pickle salted duck eggs is to put them in a container and add salty brine, and Grandpa Wen uses plant ash when salting salted duck eggs every year.There should not be many people who have salted turtle eggs, so Wen Zheng followed the method of salted duck eggs to do the experiment.
I got some fine yellow mud from the sea, and mixed it with plant ash, water, and salt to make a slurry. Wen Zheng didn't add too much salt, because the yellow mud dug from the sea itself contained salty sea water.Every time Grandpa Wen pickled salted duck eggs, Wen Zheng would help, and he was very clear about the steps.First roll the turtle eggs in the stirred mud, then roll them in the plant ash, and finally put them in a sealed container.
Usually the containers for pickling salted duck eggs are earthenware pots. In fact, you don’t need to be so particular about it. You just need to seal the processed eggs so that they don’t come into contact with the air.Just don't use metal products that will react with salt, and even plastic bags can be used as containers for pickled eggs.
Wen Zheng used a thick bamboo tube. After putting the processed turtle eggs inside, he sealed the whole bamboo tube with yellow mud. After the yellow mud dries up, the bamboo tube was perfectly isolated from the outside world, and then placed in a cool cave. In the corner, it can not only block the air, but also block the sunlight.
Compared with salted duck eggs, sea turtle eggs are always different, and Wen Zheng is often worried that the production will fail.When the rice was finally ready to eat after the rice was harvested, Wen Zheng took out the bamboo tube sealed with yellow mud, gently knocked it open, and took out the salted turtle eggs wrapped in black plant ash.
After washing, put the two salted turtle eggs in the water and boil them. Wen Zheng waited long enough, then fished them out of the water and cut them gently with a bamboo knife. The eyes were brilliant golden yellow, and revealed A little nice red.
The marinated turtle eggs undergo a wonderful chemical reaction, and the yolks inside are all coagulated. After being stewed and cut open, you can clearly smell the tempting salty aroma.The egg white is just a thin layer, and the egg yolk looks similar to duck egg yolk, with the same delicate texture. Even if you poke it with chopsticks, no oil will come out.
Put half in front of Tuantuan and keep the other half for yourself. Use bamboo chopsticks to pick up the solidified egg yolk and put it in your mouth. The rustling taste is transmitted from the tip of the tongue to the brain.
After cooking all the salted turtle eggs in a bamboo tube, Wen Zheng and Tuantuan sat face to face on both sides of the bamboo table. In front of them was a bowl of white rice porridge, with six cooked salted turtle eggs, rice porridge and salted duck eggs in the middle. It is a perfect match, without salted duck eggs, salted turtle eggs are also a good match.
Wen Zheng took the salted tortoise egg, tapped a small hole lightly, peeled off the small egg shell, stretched the chopsticks into it and stirred it quickly, then poured the stirred tortoise egg into the white porridge, this is what Wen Zheng ate. How to eat salted duck eggs.
Every time I ate salted duck eggs when I was a child, I liked to eat the duck egg yolk inside rather than the duck protein that was too salty on the outside. When I mixed it together and poured it into the porridge, the egg white also became very delicious, and the eggshell Only a small hole is broken, and other things can be made.
In fact, this method is not used for salted tortoise eggs, because there is not much egg white in tortoise eggs that needs to be stirred evenly. Egg.
The salty salted tortoise eggs and the light white porridge are blended together, and the taste is just right. Just eat a bowl like this, not to mention how satisfying it is.
Looking at the round turtle eggshells the size of a ping-pong ball, there is a small hole on the top. After Wen Zheng washed these turtle eggshells, the turtle eggshells kept rolling on the bracelet and could not be fixed. Wen Zheng took out the resin, After heating and melting, stick the tortoise eggshell on the table, pour the lime oil into it, and then put in the twisted wick, and after lighting it, it will be a beautiful eggshell lamp.Then cover it with a transparent plastic bottle cap, which is more beautiful than the oil lamp made of soda cans.
After harvesting the rice, Wen Zheng tried every means to make all kinds of delicious food, such as rice in bamboo tubes, fried rice with eggs, stewed rice, rice paste, popcorn, rice cakes, rice noodles, etc. Some were successful, but more failed. As long as it is not harmful to the body, or particularly unpalatable, Wen Zheng will also fill his stomach with failed works.
The days passed leisurely like this, the rice in the cave was slowly decreasing, while the barley in the farmland was getting mature, and the rice seedlings sown for the second time grew very tall.
Wen Zheng originally thought that such days would last until the end of the year, but in the end he encountered a new accident, which even allowed him to recover the memory of his original body.
The author has something to say: the content of pickling turtle eggs is completely fictional.
The full rice ears are heavy, bending the rice stalks, and the dew that has not yet evaporated stays on them, reflecting the bright light. The mature rice is closely arranged in the farmland. A golden ocean blows out waves.
This is the [-]rd day of survival on a deserted island. The rice planted has matured, and Wen Zheng is preparing to harvest.
The island's climate is always warm, suitable for the growth of rice and barley. Wen Zheng didn't sow all the seeds for the first time when planting. He waited for those seeds to germinate and grow, and then replanted the remaining seeds with confidence.

After the earing of the rice, Wen Zheng talked about the rice every day, thinking about the taste of white rice.
Now it’s finally time to harvest. Thinking back to the past few months of planting rice, as the only farmer on the deserted island, Wen Zheng has been paying attention to the problems in the farmland all the time, and has spent a lot of thought.

Bags and string tightly guard some of the rice grains, which can be used as seeds, and pack them into plastic bottles.
Wen Zheng made a total of three drifting bottles filled with rice, and took out the bamboo paper he made himself, using a blackened wooden stick as a charcoal pencil, and wrote a few words on it.Just a few words are his feelings during these days of surviving on a deserted island. Perhaps one day, this drifting bottle will reach the hands of those who need it.
When the weather was suitable, Wen Zheng carefully observed the flow direction of the sea water, and threw these drifting bottles into the sea.
Half a year has passed on the deserted island, and life is completely on the right track. The remaining days are not too long, and there is still no barley harvest, so Wen Zheng does not save at all when eating rice.
The breakfast has all turned into white rice porridge made from rice. The rice has absorbed a lot of water after being soaked in water, and then put it on the fire to cook with the water. The hard rice becomes soft, and all the nutrients in it flow into the water. When the pot is gurgling and steaming, the rice porridge is almost cooked.The boiled rice porridge was particularly soft and rotten, with a steaming white mist, shining brightly in the sun.
The extremely light white rice porridge, paired with marinated salted turtle eggs, is simply too delicious.
Pickling turtle eggs was Wen Zheng's sudden idea. At that time, he got a lot of turtle eggs from the beach. Seeing that they were almost full of egg yolks, Wen Zheng thought of the delicious taste of pickled duck egg yolks, so he immediately wanted to try it. .
The easiest way to pickle salted duck eggs is to put them in a container and add salty brine, and Grandpa Wen uses plant ash when salting salted duck eggs every year.There should not be many people who have salted turtle eggs, so Wen Zheng followed the method of salted duck eggs to do the experiment.
I got some fine yellow mud from the sea, and mixed it with plant ash, water, and salt to make a slurry. Wen Zheng didn't add too much salt, because the yellow mud dug from the sea itself contained salty sea water.Every time Grandpa Wen pickled salted duck eggs, Wen Zheng would help, and he was very clear about the steps.First roll the turtle eggs in the stirred mud, then roll them in the plant ash, and finally put them in a sealed container.
Usually the containers for pickling salted duck eggs are earthenware pots. In fact, you don’t need to be so particular about it. You just need to seal the processed eggs so that they don’t come into contact with the air.Just don't use metal products that will react with salt, and even plastic bags can be used as containers for pickled eggs.
Wen Zheng used a thick bamboo tube. After putting the processed turtle eggs inside, he sealed the whole bamboo tube with yellow mud. After the yellow mud dries up, the bamboo tube was perfectly isolated from the outside world, and then placed in a cool cave. In the corner, it can not only block the air, but also block the sunlight.
Compared with salted duck eggs, sea turtle eggs are always different, and Wen Zheng is often worried that the production will fail.When the rice was finally ready to eat after the rice was harvested, Wen Zheng took out the bamboo tube sealed with yellow mud, gently knocked it open, and took out the salted turtle eggs wrapped in black plant ash.
After washing, put the two salted turtle eggs in the water and boil them. Wen Zheng waited long enough, then fished them out of the water and cut them gently with a bamboo knife. The eyes were brilliant golden yellow, and revealed A little nice red.
The marinated turtle eggs undergo a wonderful chemical reaction, and the yolks inside are all coagulated. After being stewed and cut open, you can clearly smell the tempting salty aroma.The egg white is just a thin layer, and the egg yolk looks similar to duck egg yolk, with the same delicate texture. Even if you poke it with chopsticks, no oil will come out.
Put half in front of Tuantuan and keep the other half for yourself. Use bamboo chopsticks to pick up the solidified egg yolk and put it in your mouth. The rustling taste is transmitted from the tip of the tongue to the brain.
After cooking all the salted turtle eggs in a bamboo tube, Wen Zheng and Tuantuan sat face to face on both sides of the bamboo table. In front of them was a bowl of white rice porridge, with six cooked salted turtle eggs, rice porridge and salted duck eggs in the middle. It is a perfect match, without salted duck eggs, salted turtle eggs are also a good match.
Wen Zheng took the salted tortoise egg, tapped a small hole lightly, peeled off the small egg shell, stretched the chopsticks into it and stirred it quickly, then poured the stirred tortoise egg into the white porridge, this is what Wen Zheng ate. How to eat salted duck eggs.
Every time I ate salted duck eggs when I was a child, I liked to eat the duck egg yolk inside rather than the duck protein that was too salty on the outside. When I mixed it together and poured it into the porridge, the egg white also became very delicious, and the eggshell Only a small hole is broken, and other things can be made.
In fact, this method is not used for salted tortoise eggs, because there is not much egg white in tortoise eggs that needs to be stirred evenly. Egg.
The salty salted tortoise eggs and the light white porridge are blended together, and the taste is just right. Just eat a bowl like this, not to mention how satisfying it is.
Looking at the round turtle eggshells the size of a ping-pong ball, there is a small hole on the top. After Wen Zheng washed these turtle eggshells, the turtle eggshells kept rolling on the bracelet and could not be fixed. Wen Zheng took out the resin, After heating and melting, stick the tortoise eggshell on the table, pour the lime oil into it, and then put in the twisted wick, and after lighting it, it will be a beautiful eggshell lamp.Then cover it with a transparent plastic bottle cap, which is more beautiful than the oil lamp made of soda cans.
After harvesting the rice, Wen Zheng tried every means to make all kinds of delicious food, such as rice in bamboo tubes, fried rice with eggs, stewed rice, rice paste, popcorn, rice cakes, rice noodles, etc. Some were successful, but more failed. As long as it is not harmful to the body, or particularly unpalatable, Wen Zheng will also fill his stomach with failed works.
The days passed leisurely like this, the rice in the cave was slowly decreasing, while the barley in the farmland was getting mature, and the rice seedlings sown for the second time grew very tall.
Wen Zheng originally thought that such days would last until the end of the year, but in the end he encountered a new accident, which even allowed him to recover the memory of his original body.
The author has something to say: the content of pickling turtle eggs is completely fictional.
