Chapter 116: You Only Know What Is Precious When You Are Poor

After four days of work, he finally turned all these fish into dried salted fish. Looking at the rows of fish hanging on the drying racks, Jiang Hao felt like a millionaire at this moment.

So rich! ! !

Yes, when a person is worried about food and suddenly has a lot of food, then he is happy and content.

With these fish, Jiang Hao doesn't have to worry about food for a few months.

What are we eating today?

Yesterday, on the reef beach, I found a thin and flat slab of half a meter square. Jiang Hao thought it could be used as a barbecue plate.

Put it under the fire, the charcoal fire is strong, the slate is scalding hot, and the fresh fish is placed on it, making a frying sound. Jiang Hao deliberately chose the place with more oil, and the fish will come out as soon as it touches the high temperature. It's ready in just half a minute.

Sprinkle lightly with a little knuckle salt and send the fish meat into your mouth.

hmm~~

This taste is a real treat.

"Ding~~ I have collected the feeling of "loneliness", please make persistent efforts!"

The system is messing up again.

Oh shit,

I'm lonely when I eat anything.

Jiang Hao rolled his eyes and ignored him.

After eating, Jiang Hao had no desire to hunt. Looking at the woods behind him, Jiang Hao suddenly had the idea of ​​exploring carefully.

Although the island is not big, it is about two square kilometers. Except for the beach and the cliff, other places are dense forests.

A few days ago, I was running around for survival and food. Now that I have food, I should explore the island more carefully.

The main reason is that it is impossible for him to only eat fish, which will make him seriously lack of vitamins for a long time. The most direct way to obtain vitamins is vegetables and fruits, and he hopes to gain something.

Putting on sneakers, covering his head with a plaid shirt, holding a spear in his hand, and a dagger and an ice knife and axe in his waist, Jiang Hao started his own island exploration trip.

Most of the trees in the forest are coconut trees, rubber trees and palm trees. Of course, there are also other plants, some of which Jiang Hao knows, such as Tahiti gardenia trees, Zhu Jiao, Zhu Jin flowers, frangipani, orchids, but more of him. Can't even come up with a name.

Jiang Hao also found some useful things, such as some tree vines. Jiang Hao found that the bark of this tree vine is a very good plant fiber, and it can be made into a strong rope as long as it is dried and rubbed.

This is very important.

Jiang Hao also discovered two kinds of ferns. These two kinds of ferns grow widely on the island. Their twigs are edible. Some of them are similar to Chinese ferns. They are very good as vegetables, and some can be pickled for later use.

Jiang Hao immediately picked some, wrapped it in his shirt, and prepared it for dinner. He hadn't eaten vegetables for several days, and he was very greedy.

Continuing to explore, Jiang Hao suddenly let out an exclamation,

"Wow!!!"

Quickly running to a tree, Jiang Hao looked up at the plump fruits and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that God has not given up on me, hahaha."

He actually found papaya.

In fact, Jiang Hao didn't like to eat papaya before, mainly because it didn't taste very good. There are a lot of fruits that are more delicious than papaya, which are very popular with women.

Jiang Haocai didn't care about that, he turned around the tree twice, and finally found a slightly yellow fruit, twisted it off, cut it directly with a knife, and couldn't wait to nibble.

wah haha~~

wah haha~~

Everyone has a smile on their face~~~

I never thought this thing was so delicious before. Jiang Hao ate all the papayas with the size of a fist.

Perhaps it is only when you are poor that you know what is precious.

After eating the papayas, Jiang Hao searched the neighborhood again and found three papaya trees in total. The papayas are relatively high-yielding, and each tree bears more than a dozen fruits. Jiang Hao picked three yellowed ones and prepared to take them back to eat. .

After thinking about it, he picked up the papaya seeds on the ground and planted them where there was soil nearby. He didn't know how long he would live on the island. Chuck, the hero of the movie, had lived on the island for four years, so he had to plan ahead.

Even if you can't use it yourself, it can be considered as a small reward for the fruit that the papaya tree gave you.

Saying goodbye to the papaya tree, Jiang Hao continued to explore the island. Just when he saw the opposite coast and felt that there would be no more harvest, he suddenly found a strange forest.

Jiang Hao watched it carefully for a long time and finally determined that it was a kava tree.

Kava is a type of pepper tree that grows widely on islands in the South Pacific. Jiang Hao didn’t know it before, but it was the tree that he knew when he went to Fiji this time.

Kava juice is known as the national drink of Fiji, also known as Mud Cola. In fact, it is not wine. The locals use the rhizomes of the kava tree and add water to make it into Mud Cola. Jiang Hao once tasted this drink. It has a menthol flavor and a faint herbal fragrance. It is a kind of drink that clears heat and quenches thirst. It does not contain any alcohol, but it has the effect of paralyzing nerves. Drinking a small amount has a relaxing effect. If you drink too much, it will be like drunk. Like wine.

Making slushy cola is very simple, mash the roots into juice, or cut into small pieces and brew with boiling water.

Jiang Hao dug up two immediately.

Now there is tea to drink.

When he returned to the station, Jiang Hao was in a very good mood. This time he explored the island and gained a lot. Although there are only papaya, kava and two kinds of bracken, these things are very important to him and are indispensable to his future life. .

For dinner, Jiang Hao made it simple and hearty.

The main course is grilled fish with bracken, the tuna meat is fat and tender, the bracken absorbs the oil, it is crisp and delicious, it is served with papaya dessert, and after the meal, a glass of cava juice, my head is dizzy, and I feel floating.

Oh, that's called life.

Take the first batch of dried salted fish back to the cave and hang it on the wall on the left. As long as there is one more day, the fish meat made in the next two days can be dried, and the whole cave can be covered with dried fish by then. .

Lying on the stone bed, Jiang Hao picked up Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" and looked at it with relish.

"I am composed, roaming in nature,

He dominates all things and flatters all things, and is calm in the chaotic world.

Melted to each other, like them, docile, tolerant, taciturn,

I found what I had, what I lost, my notoriety, my weakness, my sin,

Not as important as I thought,

I imagine being in the Mexican Sea, Mannajata, inland or far north,

On the coast, in the lakes, in the jungle, in the fields,

As a fisherman, ferryman, lumberjack or farmer,

No matter where I live, I can take the unknown with equanimity,

like trees and beasts,

Confront darkness, storm, famine, ridicule, danger and indifference. "

Well, this buddy wrote it well, and successfully made Jiang Hao drowsy, his hands slowly lowered, the poetry collection slipped, and Jiang Hao slowly fell asleep.
