Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Chapter 5 Sea Eggplant

"Big bug!" Jiang Lingling suddenly stretched out her hand from behind Wen Xian and shoved the fat black "big bug" in front of Wen Xian's eyes.

Wen Xian was so frightened that she almost lost her balance and slipped to the ground.

"Madam, be careful." Jiang Lingling was startled and quickly reached out to support Wen Xian, but the "big bug" in her hand still didn't let go.

"I was wrong madam, I scared you."

Jiang Lingling suddenly thought of Wen Xian's expression and movements as she neatly dissected the eel, and she felt a little scared after realizing it.

She was so confused that she actually wanted to scare the Queen Mother.

What is this called? It’s called putting your nose on your face, giving you a few colors and you want to open a dyeing room!

She was worried about whether Wen Xian would punish her, when Wen Xian said angrily: "What's wrong? Have you finished catching your crab family?"

Wen Xian was not afraid of big insects, but she was working hard when she suddenly got a fright.

There was no intention of blaming him, and Jiang Lingling breathed a sigh of relief.

She scratched her head and said sheepishly: "I caught ten of them, but I couldn't find them. I just saw this big bug in the water, and I wanted to catch it for Madam to have a look at."

In fact, in addition to being curious, she was also a little cautious and wanted to test whether Wen Xian was afraid of this.

"This is called Sea Eggplant." Wen Xian took it and shook it a few times. She saw the Sea Eggplant shrank back, and then spit out a white thread.

Jiang Lingling instantly screamed: "Oh, silk, it can even spin silk."

Her eyes widened, and she pulled at Wen Xian while talking.

Who knows that she has never seen such a magical thing before? The sea is really a magical place.

Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and smiled, then directly pulled out the silk from the sea eggplant and wrapped it around the reef.

"This is what it does after being frightened, and it will spin out a lot of threads." She just pulled out one thread, and the sea eggplant continued to spin out a second thread.

One after another, I vomited five or six strands before finally going soft.

Wen Xian handed the sea eggplant to Jiang Lingling and said: "This thing is edible, but there are too many internal organs, and only a layer of skin is left after removing it. Take it back and add a meal."

She said in passing: "There is another kind of thing that is covered with soft thorns and looks similar to a sea eggplant. It's called a sea cucumber. It's a good thing. It's extremely rich in nutritional value. You can look for it."

Sea cucumbers, even in the previous life, were quite explosive.The main reason is that they are quite expensive and most people are reluctant to eat them.

"What about the sea eggplant? It's worthless?" Jiang Lingling said a little disappointed.

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse." Wen Xian raised her hand and knocked her on the forehead, and said angrily, "As long as it can be eaten, it has value."

What matters now is not nutrition, but fullness.

"Really?" Jiang Lingling's eyes lit up, "Then I'll pick up some more and see if there are any sea cucumbers."

Anyway, she has loved climbing trees and fishing since she was a child, and she is not afraid of anything.Apart from fear of pain, there are very few other things to be afraid of.

Wen Xian also noticed something. She pulled Jiang Lingling and shook her head: "Forget it for today, the tide is about to rise. Go tell everyone and pack your things and go back to the cave."

The waves were getting closer and closer. She had observed yesterday that the suitable time to catch the sea at low tide was only three hours every day.

After three hours, the tide will gradually rise. By then, even the rock she is currently using to pry the oysters will be completely submerged, which is very dangerous.

When you first arrive, it’s better to be cautious.Besides, I was delayed for so long in the morning. I had to go back early to get food so I could have the energy to continue doing other tasks.

"Ah, so fast, then I'll go find my sisters." Jiang Lingling picked up her skirt and ran, bending down to pick up clams and other seafood on the ground.

Wen Xian looked at her back and smiled, then pried two more oysters with her backhand. Then she slowly hugged the banana leaf, picked up the dress she had just taken off, and walked towards the cave. …

At the entrance of the cave, the third and fourth children were digging holes with sticks and stones.For the task of digging three holes, each of them pried one, but the third one was still missing.

The third child, Zheng Rou, was sitting in front of a pit about [-] centimeters deep and [-] centimeters in diameter. She was holding a wooden stick to compete with the stones blocking the road in the pit.

Wen Xian took a closer look and said happily: "What are you doing? Why are you getting involved with Shitong?"

If you can't dig, just change direction, why insist on hitting the wall.

Seeing Wen Xian's clothes, Zheng Rou was surprised at first, but she didn't think much about it. Then she pouted and said, "I want to dig deeper. It's so small now and can't hold much water."

Changing pits means starting over again, but she is not happy and does not want to give up.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Wen Xian looked carefully and found that the edge of the stone underneath had already exposed five centimeters, but there was no sign of it coming out completely.

"How about this? Let's expand the diameter a little more, and this pit will be used to raise the seafood we pick up. What do you think?"

Wen Xian gestured, looked at the confused Zheng Rou, and asked patiently: "What's wrong?"

Zheng Rou shook her head and asked in confusion: "What is diameter?"

She knew about raising seafood, but how about expanding the diameter?

Wen Xian:......

"Let's expand the pit so we don't have to dig deeper. The rock underneath is just the base, so water won't seep down easily."

Zheng Rou: "Chassis? What is a chassis?"

Wen Xian was silent, and she said with a serious look: "This task is left to you. Expand the pit and throw all the shelled seafood in. When the others come back, we will work with them to find a way to get seawater to fill the pit. . Just like raising flowers and fish, you must have water so that they can be preserved longer, is it clear?"

Zheng Rou opened her mouth, but finally nodded and said: "It's clear, madam, don't worry, I promise to complete the task."

"Very well, do it well."

Wen Xian seemed to be running away and came to the pit dug by Lao Si next door. Maybe there was no stone blocking the road, and the pit was dug with sharp stones.

Therefore, although the pit is less than twenty centimeters in diameter, it is about forty centimeters deep.

Seeing Wen Xian coming, the fourth child immediately stood up, held his hands and said solemnly: "Madam."

The fourth child’s real name is Zhou Hui, and she is the original concubine Hui.This is a person who doesn't fight or grab, has a gentle temper and is restrained.

In the past, the original owner had never seen her in the palace, but he knew that there was such a person.

Wen Xian raised her hand and patted her shoulder and praised: "Well done, you can dig the third hole. For now, just pick some banana leaves and put them in it later."

If it rains then, you can collect the rainwater and use it for daily drinking.

"Okay madam, I'll go now." Zhou Hui agreed and hurriedly walked towards the banana tree.

Wen Xian's mouth twitched slightly. She originally wanted her to pick up some bananas and put them away until they turn yellow and become delicious.

She had gone to see it yesterday. The bananas on the trees were all green and not yet ripe.When it's cooked, there's another kind of food.

Those who drank the dew and ate one or two plantains were probably full.

After looking at the pit outside the cave, Wen Xian got up and went back to the cave, ready to see if Lao Er and Xiao Wu in the cave had started a fire.
