After the chat ended, Xu Shiying tapped what he had in his hands, as well as the amount of wood and stones he had.
There is still a shortage of more than one hundred wood and stones, less than two hundred.
Zhuge Dali has a lot of wood and stones because he has the Mining King Kong, and now that he has Xiao Qi as a helper, it shouldn't be a problem to find some beasts that can be 'bullied', right?
After all, he seems to be quite strong now!
Xu Shiying felt about himself.
I lowered my head and looked at the time on the "Survival Manual". It was already ten o'clock in the evening and it was time to go to bed.
We still need to work hard tomorrow!
Xu Shiying was lying in a thick quilt, feeling hot for the first time and sweating all over his body. In order to prevent the quilt from getting wet, he took off his shirt, then covered himself with the quilt and fell asleep.
…
"Well……"
Xu Shiying opened his eyes drowsily and groped in the dim light.
In the stove, only the flickering charcoal was still working, warming the whole house.
He could feel that the temperature in the room had dropped, possibly because the fire in the stove had gone out.
He lifted the quilt and sat up. His throat was extremely dry. He picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank a lot. Then he put on his clothes and went to the stove with the memory metal knife. Using the blade of the metal knife, he cut out the contents of the stove. All the ashes were scraped out and stored in wooden boxes.
These plant ash are natural fertilizers. Spreading them on the land can bring nutrients to the soil.
It can also be understood as nutritious soil.
There was quite a lot of plant ash inside, enough to hold two large boxes.
After doing this, he filled in small pieces of wood and blew the charcoal in the stove with his mouth, letting the charcoal drive the newly added wood to glow and heat.
It didn't take long for the wood to be touched by the charcoal, and small flames began to rise.
After seeing the flames gradually grow bigger, Xu Shiying took some meat slices and leaves and put them into an empty mineral water bottle. After pouring a certain amount of mineral water and fine salt, he put them in the stove to cook.
This is his breakfast today.
He has been eating meat every day for the past two days, which makes him a little tired and panicked. He really wants to eat some pasta or drink some porridge.
Or even some fruit?
It's just that he is in a plain area, and so far, he has not seen any wild fruits that he knows.
Those he didn't know, and without understanding, even if he saw them, he wouldn't dare to eat them!
While cooking, Xu Shiying began to move his muscles in the house, doing push-ups and sit-ups, which can increase the strength of his abdominal muscles and arms.
Now he fully realizes how important it is to have strength.
After exercising for five minutes, Xu Shiying wiped the sweat from his forehead and lamented that his body was too weak. It seemed that he would have to exercise more often in the future.
At this time, the broth in the stove was also cooked, and waves of aroma wafted in, which greatly increased Xu Shiying's appetite.
Xu Shiying carefully took out the mineral water bottle, smelled the aroma of meat, took a sip of the broth, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The soup tastes delicious with the addition of salt.
"Squeak!"
Xu Shiying lowered his head and saw that Xiao Qi was pulling at his trouser legs with two paws, and his eyes were staring at the meat in the mineral water bottle in his hand, full of desire.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, this is for you!"
Seeing this, Xu Shiying took out three or four pieces of cooked meat from the mineral water bottle, put it to his mouth and blew on it. After the meat pieces cooled down a little, he handed them to it.
As soon as Xiao Qi received the meat slices, he couldn't wait to eat them. However, the meat slices were too hot and made him squeak. Even so, he couldn't bear to spit out the meat slices in his mouth.
"No one is trying to compete with you, so eat slowly!"
Seeing that the meat slices Xiao Qi ate were still hot, he took a bottle of mineral water and put the meat on the bottle, using the cold water to lower the temperature of the meat slices.
Xiao Qi saw the meat slices on the mineral water bottle and couldn't help but want to eat it. Xu Shiying reached out to stop it and signaled it not to worry.
After waiting for a minute or two, Xu Shiying used his hand to explore and found that the meat slices had completely cooled down before letting Xiao Qi eat it.
After eating, Xiao Qi touched her bulging belly, her face full of satisfaction.
I looked at the sky outside. It was getting brighter now, and the bright moon had already gone to rest after get off work.
It’s only after dawn that it’s time to go out!
But before going out, he still has a few things to do!
He first took out the scroll for making animal traps and used the remaining rattan and wood to make four animal traps. Adding the one he made yesterday, he now has a total of five animal traps.
However, yesterday's animal trap was pricked randomly by the long thorns on Xiao Qi's body, and the base part was already riddled with holes. Although it was not broken, it was almost the same as broken.
At least for now, this animal trap can no longer be used.
There are five more animal trap scrolls that can be made, but it's a pity that there are no rattans now.
He sent a message to Bai Zhong, wanting to exchange for some rattan or other things, but Bai Zhong didn't reply to him, and he was probably still asleep.
But he already has four, which should be enough.
Before he goes out, he will put down these animal traps near the animal pen. He has not cleared up the weeds near the animal pen. The cover of weeds is perfect for hiding the animal traps.
The bait in the animal trap is still smoked meat slices. After all, if you don't want to part with the meat slices, you can't trap the beast.
Although Xiao Qi was full, his eyes still shone when he saw the meat slices, and he instinctively wanted to snatch it. Xu Shiying told him that this was bait, so that he could eat more meat slices, so Xiao Qi gave up. .
Walk out of the door, go to the animal pen, and place the four animal traps in your hands in the southeast, northwest, and southeast directions. The distance between each cage should be at least one meter.
Avoid wild animals entering the cage.
He used rocks to press the corners of each cage. In fact, the best thing to use was rattan. Tie one end of the rattan to the stone. Even if he caught a wild wolf, he would no longer be afraid.
It's a pity that the rattan has been used by him to make a cage. Xu Shiying was a little annoyed that he would have left some rattan.
However, these cages are held down by stones. Generally speaking, small beasts such as three-eyed black rabbits and agouti cannot break free.
After setting up the animal trap, he walked into the house and moved out the wooden box filled with plant ash. Then he transformed the memory metal into a shovel and dug shallow traces in an open space not far from the shelter. , then carefully pour the plant ash in the small wooden box into the trace, and then cover it with soil.
During this period, Xiao Qi also used his two short legs to help fill the soil. Seeing how hard he worked, Xu Shiying rewarded him with a piece of meat, but Xiao Qi was so happy that he kept squeaking around him.
She even used her body to help him push the stone. Although she didn't push it in the end, Xiao Qi was so tired that her belly was in the sky, her tongue stuck out and she kept panting.
But his spirit is commendable, isn’t it?
Seeing how cute it was, Xu Shiying couldn't help but smile.
You really don’t even get a single meal for free!
Since having this little guy, life seems a little warmer?
It took him nearly an hour to empty out all the plant ash in the two wooden boxes. After all, digging soil was not an easy job.
With the help of these plant ash, the land in front of you will slowly turn into nutritious soil. Even if it fails, it can still increase the nutrients in the soil.
After you obtain the seeds later, you can quickly germinate and grow them.
But if there are only plant ash, it will be difficult to turn this land into nutritious soil?
Why don't you bring back some wild fruits? Crush the wild fruits and bury them in them. Not only will the soil be decomposed, but if you're lucky, you might even be able to get the fruit seeds.
