One hundred yuan to survive: this anchor has a conscience but not much

Chapter 310 What’s wrong with me? I’m not wrong.
"Brother Lu, where are we going today?"

Qin Shou asked Lu Chen while preparing to make breakfast.

"Let's go to the bamboo forest to get some bamboo and some clay today."

"The house is already there and the furniture needs to be arranged."

Lu Chen looked at the empty room.

Although the two houses are large in size, there are not many things inside.

"Hey, this pheasant laid an egg."

Qin Shou originally planned to go to see if the ducks had laid eggs and wanted to get some duck eggs for breakfast, but unexpectedly found an egg under the pheasant.

"Giggle!"

The pheasant crowed and swayed next to its eggs, with pride on its face.

"Since it can lay eggs, let's keep it for now."

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Assuming you are sensible, I originally planned to stew it for you today."

"But now for the sake of the egg, I'll let you live a few more days."

Qin Shou took away the eggs and let the pheasant go.

Qin Shou went to cook while Lu Chen filtered and refined the salt.

Lu Chen picked up the brine that had been left to settle, carefully poured out the supernatant, and filtered it through a funnel.

Then, pour it into the bottom of a glass bottle that serves as a temporary evaporating dish.

This process will take some time, and Lu Chen is not in a hurry.

After the meal was ready, the two of them started eating. However, Lu Chen was still paying attention to the situation of the evaporator while eating.

"When the water evaporates, will it be considered good? Qin Shou asked curiously.

"Correct."

Lu Chen nodded.

After finishing breakfast, after a while, the first portion of purified salt finally came out.

"This is refined salt. It looks pretty good."

"Although it doesn't look as good as the salt on the market, we made it ourselves and it tastes great."

Qin Shou grinned, picked up a grain of salt, and looked at it carefully.

He put it in his mouth, tasted it, smashed it in his mouth, and gave a thumbs up.

"We have limited supplies, and the purification is too slow."

"Let's do this for now. We can continue when we come back in the evening."

Lu Chen stopped.

If you want to purify coarse salt, it doesn't take much effort to let it sit and settle, but the subsequent steps require people to watch.

Their salt fields are so large and their salt production is so large, but they only have one funnel and one evaporating dish, so the efficiency is naturally very low.

Fortunately, they are not in a hurry and can take their time.

The two set off to the bamboo forest.

"I wonder if bamboo rats are still available. The bamboo rats we had before tasted really good."

Qin Shou licked his lips.

"Greedy!"

"Didn't you just have a big dinner last night?"

Lu Chen laughed.

"Hey, isn't it different?"

"Pork is pork, chicken is chicken, duck is duck meat, and this bamboo rat meat has a different taste."

"Every type of meat has its own beauty. I just wanted to eat some bamboo rat meat. What's wrong with me?"

"I'm right! The pursuit of delicious food is a gene engraved in human bones."

Qin Shou was very eloquent.

"Okay, okay, you're right. Then let's look for bamboo rats."

Lu Chen smiled and said no more.

Bamboo rat meat does taste good. If we can catch a few more, there will be more delicacies on the table.

While they were collecting bamboo, they kept an eye out for any traces of bamboo rats nearby.

Soon, they were found.

"This mark should be the footprints of a bamboo rat."

Lu Chen pointed to several small paw prints under a tree.

"It should be. They are quite similar in size and shape."

Qin Shou's face was full of joy.

"There should be a bamboo rat hole near here, let's look for it."

"After you find it, use the same method as before to catch it."

Lu Chen said, searching carefully.After two people's efforts, the bamboo rat's burrow was found.

This nest of bamboo rats had three holes in total, and the two simply buried one on the spot.

Then, they each defended one of the other two holes.

Light a fire to smoke the rat, and as the black smoke comes out, the bamboo rat inside begins to become restless.

"Boom!"

Lu Chen used a relatively thick piece of bamboo to hit the ground hard.

Feeling the vibration, the bamboo rat underneath became even more panicked.

"Whoosh!"

A bamboo rat suddenly jumped out and was caught by Lu Chen.

Soon, the entire nest of bamboo rats was wiped out.

There were two large bamboo rats and four small bamboo rats.

"Not bad."

"The whole family must be tidy."

Lu Chen touched his chin.

"The little bamboo rats are so cute. We can't finish them all at once, so why don't we keep them for now?"

Qin Shou couldn't bear it.

They were ransacking the house and taking away everyone.

"Okay, it's not bad to raise him."

Lu Chen nodded.

After putting the bamboo rats into the bamboo basket, the two collected some other things before returning to their residence.

"The bamboo rats should be locked up in the house over there first. It's full of wood. It's hard for them to escape."

"Otherwise, they have sharp teeth and can dig holes. If they are locked directly in the fence, they will dig holes and run away very quickly."

Lu Chen said.

The house converted from the shelter is made of logs.

The wood is harder after all, but bamboo rats may bite it off after a long time.But as long as you pay more attention and check often, there should be no problem.

"It's true, these little guys are cute, but they are not easy to raise."

"Animals that can burrow are the most troublesome. They can escape if you don't pay attention."

Qin Shou agreed with this.

After locking the bamboo rat in the room, Lu Chen looked at the pile of clay they collected.

In the past, building a house required making mud bricks, and mud bricks required a large amount of clay.For this purpose, they collected a lot back.

In the past two days, they met and occasionally brought some back.

Now, it's time to use these things.

"We have collected a lot of clay, let's make something more."

"Okay, do you want to make some more mud bricks?"

“All the mud bricks we had before are used up, so it’s good to have some spare ones.”

"When the time comes, it will be good to build a small house with mud bricks, or make a pig pen or fence."

Qin Shou nodded happily.

Making mud bricks? He is good at this job. After all, he has done it many times before.

"We can make some more mud bricks, but there's no rush."

"Why don't you do something else first?"

"We still have a little bit of pots, bowls, and chopsticks. It's time to make some."

Lu Chen touched his chin.

The iron pot I picked up last time was usable, but it was very rusty.You have to wash it carefully before and after every use, which is not only troublesome, but also unhealthy.

As for bowls and chopsticks, they often use coconut shells to make bowls.

It's just that the thing is not strong and durable enough, so it has to be replaced frequently, which is not very convenient.

"With our conditions, can we still make pots and pans?"

Qin Shou was a little surprised.

He also feels that it is inconvenient to have less things. The problem is that the conditions here are limited.

He couldn't even imagine making these things himself.

"can."

Lu Chen gave an affirmative answer.

"Ever made pottery?"

Lu Chen asked.
