Cohabitation In The Wilderness: My Partner Steals My Protein

Chapter 21 Earthen Stove and Earthen Kang

It's the ninth day, and the breakfast is still stewed fish.

To be honest, no matter how good the taste is, Bai Piao and Yang Mi are getting tired of eating it.

There are also blueberries and a bunch of cranberries found two days ago to adjust the taste and supplement vitamins.

Otherwise, they all want to change the three meals a day into two meals!

But if their idea is known to most of the other groups who are still hungry and have no food.

Even if they are thousands of miles away, that strong resentment will probably be felt by them.

After drinking the fish soup, Bai Piao's cold body warmed up again.

Then, they removed the rough wood blocking the door, took two iron pots and went to the river.

Thirteen fishing cages, two gillnets, especially the newly woven gillnet nearly ten meters long at the bend of the upstream river in the slow-flow area.

brought them more than they could have imagined.

Among them was even a ferocious Zhe Luo salmon that was half a meter long and weighed 16 to 7 catties.

Together with other crucian carp, carp, pike and catfish, the harvest this time exceeded 60 catties.

This made Bai Piao and Yang Mi very happy. The more food they hoard now, the more likely they will survive when winter comes.

When you can live well, no one will want to die!

The more fish you catch, the longer it will take to process. Fortunately, there are more fish to process these days.

Their ability to kill fish and remove their internal organs has also been practiced, and their movements are also very fast, including Yang Mi.

I saw that she completely lost the expression of frowning slightly when she saw Bai Piao killing the fish at first.

At this time, she was handling a half-sized carp, and the short knife was repeatedly scraped back and forth in her hand, and the fish scales were removed.

Then he disemboweled and removed the internal organs, being careful not to break the gall.

She had broken the gall a few times before with no experience, and she was reluctant to throw the fish away.

In the end, after the bitter fish was cooked, she ate it silently. Even Bai Piao told her not to let it go, but she didn't let it go.

Because she has already experienced the feeling of being hungry, and it feels very uncomfortable.

Since then, Yang Mi has decided not to waste food again.

However, it is also because the fish meat stained with gall is too bitter and unpalatable, so she is extremely careful when handling the fish internal organs.

After the scales are removed, the internal organs are removed, and this carp is considered to be preliminarily cleaned up.

At this time, Yang Mi remembered that the knowledge she had read on the Internet was not all correct.

For example, she watched a fish-making video before and said that this carp has to remove the black film, otherwise it will be fishy.

But when she really picked up the carp by herself, she realized that there is no black membrane in the belly of this carp?

No, how could she go!

Therefore, what those so-called chefs on the Internet say may not be true!

...

Clean up the fish, make nests for miscellaneous fish, and re-install the fish cages and gillnets.

Bai Piao and Yang Mi returned to the shelter of the new wooden house with these fish and two iron pots filled with water.

They are going to continue to improve the wooden house.

Today Bai Piao was not in a hurry to cut down trees to repair the roof, but moved stones and mixed mud with Yang Mi.

The stars and the Milky Way were very beautiful last night. He remembered hearing someone say when he was a child that if there were stars the day before, the weather would not be bad the next day.

So he is not in a hurry to get the roof.

Bai Piao is going to fix the ground in the house first.

After it has been cleared, a thick layer of soil mixed with gravel is first laid on the ground, and after it is compacted, a layer of the arm-thick tree trunk left over from yesterday is laid on it.

Of course, these tree trunks are all peeled, so that walking barefoot will not hurt your feet.

The two-meter-long area under the earthen stove and the earthen kang was not covered with trees for fire prevention, but more stones were needed for isolation.

People with great strength and stamina really have obvious advantages in doing this kind of physical work.

Bai Piao went back and forth over and over again without stopping, and quickly moved enough stones from the riverside and the low mountain slope.

By the afternoon, the earthen stove and the earthen kang had basically taken shape.

The other two wooden walls were also the same as the side wall yesterday, with stones and mud piled up half a meter high by Bai Piao and Yang Mi next to the walls.

The chimney and the smoke exhaust outlet at the back of the house have also been built and cut.

The gaps between the stones are filled with thick soil.

They also tried to ignite the fire under the chimney below, the smoke exhausted smoothly and there was no smoke leakage, it was perfect!

The next step is to build the internal structure and surface of the kang.

Bai Piao mixed soil with stones, and built three horizontal bars with a gap in the kang.

How to leave this gap is also very particular, the front and back are on one side, and the middle one is on the other side.

In this way, the hot smoke and gas from the earthen stove will flow along the zigzag structure, heating the entire kang surface relatively evenly.

After finishing the inside, Bai Piao put a row of barked tree trunks on these horizontal rails.

Spread a moderate layer of wet mud on it, and after scraping it with a straight wooden stick, the kang surface is considered ready.

Of course, in order to get acquainted enough with the kang surface, Bai Piao also stacked another layer of logs on the outside of the stone as a support.

He had tried it before laying the mud, and he jumped and rolled on it, and the kang was also stable, except for the greater movement, there was no shaking or instability in the slightest.

Then, he also got some mud on the base stone of the earthen stove, and then put a pot on it, and the earthen stove was finished.

The chimney in the middle of the earth kang earthen stove is also made of several large stones mixed with soil, revealing a tough style everywhere.

After all this was done, it was already dark.

They lit a fire under the clay stove and started cooking.

Wherever there is a smoke leak in the middle, Bai Piao uses some mud to plug it.

The only regret today is that the mud on the surface of the kang needs time to dry, so they still have to live on the ground for the time being.
