Immediately afterwards, he turned around and went to the nearby small water pool to continue fishing. There were quite a few such small water pools at the bottom of the cave, and at a rough glance, there were more than a dozen.

Just emptying out three or four small water pools is enough for him and Ying Lili to last for a month.

In addition, the small water pool is actually a natural brine, so even if he scoops up all the stones in the water pool, it will not affect the herbivores coming in to replenish the salt.

When Xing Jian was diligently fishing for stones, the three elk had slipped away quietly.

Xingjian noticed it, but he didn't care. When the number of stones was almost the same, he left the cave, replaced the ability of "vector manipulation", made a container, and then returned to the cave, scraped off the white crystals on the surface of the stones and put them in the cave. into wooden containers.

After everything was done, Xingjian left the cave contentedly, ready to return.

"It seems to be still early..." Xing Jian looked at the sun in the sky, and estimated that there were still about two hours of activity.

He thought for a while, then turned around and headed towards the beach.

Today, he wants to improve the food.

.........

When the sun was setting, Ying Lili was sitting on the steps of the wooden house, looking a little anxiously at the forest outside the safe zone.

Son of a bitch!Didn't you promise to come back before the sun goes down?Why haven't you come back yet?Shouldn't you get lost?Or is it......

Ying Lili shook her head, completely clearing the thought of Xing Jian's accident from her mind.

Xingjian is so powerful, how could something happen, so there must be something delaying, or simply getting lost.

After all, in a forest that is half the size of Tokyo, it is quite normal to get lost.

"Yo~ what are you thinking? You look sad, like you've lost your soul."

At this moment, Xingjian's voice rang in his ears.

Ying Lili followed the prestige, and found that she had returned to the wooden house at some point, and was watching him with a smile.

"Hey..." Ying Lili was stunned for two seconds, and asked blankly, "Where did you come back from? Why didn't I see you?"

Xing Jian raised his finger to the distance, "I have already entered the safe zone, and walked back along the lake."

"Oh..." Looking at the large and small wooden containers on Xingjian's body, Ying Lili asked curiously, "What are these?"

Xingjian put down the freshly made wooden barrel in his hand, lifted the lid and said, "This is the oyster I picked up at the beach in the afternoon. It weighs about ten catties, and it should weigh three to four catties without the shells."

Then, Xingjian took down a wooden container the size of a cup and said, "There is salt in it, but it can't be used directly, and it needs to be processed briefly."

Xingjian took down the last wooden container, and said mysteriously: "As for the inside? It's a good thing."

He lifted the lid and beckoned Ying Lili to come over and take a look.

Yinglili stretched her neck to look inside the wooden container, and the small red round fruit made Yinglili stunned.

"Is this a cherry?" Ying Lili licked her lips, seeming to recall the deliciousness of cherries.

Xing Jian rolled his eyes, "What cherry, this is wild pepper!"

"Ah?" Ying Lili looked confused, "Aren't peppers all long strips? Why are there round fruits?"

"That's why it's wild. That's the way it is with native peppers that haven't been optimized for cultivation. Okay, let's not talk about it."

Xingjian put the straight knife into Ying Lili's hand, "I'll give you the knife. You can take the oysters to the lake to shell and clean them. Tonight we will eat boiled oysters."

"Oh, good." Ying Lili scratched her head, threw the straight knife into the barrel, and carried the barrel to the lake with difficulty.

The oysters are about ten catties, and the wooden barrels are about four or five catties, which add up to only fifteen catties. Ying Lili needs both hands to lift it.

There are still 26 days left, and he has to find a way to train Ying Lili to the physical fitness of a normal girl, otherwise this month's suffering will be in vain.

Seeing that Yinglili has arrived at the lake, Xingjian reminded loudly: "Yinglili, be careful when peeling the shell, don't cut your hands."

"Oh~~ I see." Ying Lili raised her voice and responded without looking back.

"Also! Wash off the sand! I don't want to eat sand."

"Understood!! You are so annoying!" Ying Lili turned her head and stared at Xing Jian with her teeth bared.

This guy really treats her like a child, right?

Xingjian shook his head, didn't say anything more, and turned to do his own thing.

The salt crystals scraped from the mineral salt still need to be treated briefly, that is, the process of water injection, evaporation and recrystallization.

Also, he needs to think about what to do with the wild peppers.

When he met wild chili before, he had already tasted it. It was a little hotter than ordinary chili, but not as spicy as millet chili, which was in between.

Maybe dry it out and make chili powder for grilling, or just toss a thing or two in for flavor when cooking?

Try it slowly, there is plenty of time anyway.

.........

Soon after, the Golden Crow fell silent, the Jade Rabbit turned across the sky, and the cold moonlight sprinkled over the mountains and forests like water.

At this time, Xingjian's salt has been processed, but Yinglili is still competing with oysters by the lake.

The speechless Xing Jian quietly came behind Ying Lili, wanting to see why she was so slow.

After observing for a while, Xing Jian became more and more speechless, why can this girl wash an oyster for 3 minutes?

Even if he said to wash it clean, that's not how it came about.

I saw Ying Lili sinking a shucked oyster into the lake water, rubbing it carefully with her delicate hands.

After a while, I took it up and observed it carefully against the moonlight. When I saw that it was not clean, I continued to wash it in the lake water.

"Ai~" Xingjian sighed softly, sat down beside Yinglili, and cleaned the oysters with her.

557. "The Bullied and Addicted Ying Lili"

Seeing Xing Jian squatting down beside her, Ying Lili paused and asked in a muffled voice, "Why are you here?"

Xing Jian picked up a shucked oyster, cleaned it, and said, "I've finished my work there, I'm hungry, and I want to have dinner early, so I'm here to help you."

"Oh..." Ying Lili continued to wash the oyster meat carefully in the lake water with her head depressed.

"Yinglili, do you still remember your attitude towards paint trays when you first learned to paint?"

"En?" Yinglili looked at Xingjian in confusion.

She didn't understand why Xingjian's thinking suddenly jumped to the question she had in the early days of learning painting.

"Don't you remember?" Xingjian tilted his head slightly, looking at Yinglili with a slightly indifferent expression.

"..." Yinglili slightly bent her index finger, unconsciously avoiding Xingjian's sight.

"Who would remember that kind of thing..." Yingli Liyan said insincerely.

"Really? That's really a pity." Xingjian put the cleaned oysters into the wooden barrel, and then picked up a shucked oyster and stuffed it into the water for cleaning.

No one made a sound, and the atmosphere between the two fell silent in an instant. In the vast world, only the whirring birdsong and the sound of water when oysters were being cleaned were left from time to time.

The slightly dull atmosphere made Ying Lili a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head, looked at the crystal clear lake, and said suddenly: "I remembered, when I first learned to paint, I cherished the paint tray very much. Every time I started to paint When painting, I will carefully squeeze each paint into its own grid. If there is a slight confusion, I will carefully wipe off the different colors on the surface with toilet paper. In addition, after each painting, I will clean the paint tray clean."

"Well, that's right, it's in line with the piety of a beginner." Xing saw the subject change, and asked abruptly, "What about now?"

"Eh..." Ying Lili was stunned, and subconsciously replied truthfully: "It's very casual, it doesn't matter if the colors are mixed up, and I don't bother to wash it after use, anyway, it will be like that next time..."

As she spoke, Ying Lili's voice became smaller and smaller. She vaguely realized that Xingjian wanted to warn her, but she had no idea what it was.

"Clean quickly, I'm hungry." Xingjian speeded up the speed in his hands, basically cleaning an oyster in ten to twenty seconds.

Looking at Xingjian's movements, Ying Lili seemed to understand. She imitated Xingjian and speeded up the movements in her hands.

.........

Under the watery moonlight, Xingjian handed Ying Lili a bowl of cooked oysters.

Ying Lili, who had been hungry all day, didn't care about the heat, so she picked up a piece of oyster meat and blew it a little before putting it in her mouth.

"How does it taste?" Xingjian asked.

"...not very good...but it's already very good...much better than the previous two days." Ying Lili replied truthfully.

Perhaps because of cooking for too long, the oyster meat became hard and hard to chew, which was far from the delicious and tender oyster meat she had eaten before.

But even so, tonight's salted oyster meat is much better than the original wolf and rabbit meat two days ago.

"That's it..." Xing Jian took out a small wooden box the size of a palm, opened the lid and said, "So, do you want some chili sauce for seasoning?"

"Huh? Chili sauce?" Ying Lili took a closer look, the red chili sauce made her nose itchy and her eyes were red.

"Hmm~ It tastes good, Xingjian how do you do it?"

"Grind wild chili directly into sauce, and add a pinch of salt to it. Due to limited conditions, I can only do this." Xing Jian scooped up a little chili sauce with a wooden spoon, "So, do you want some?"

"No need..." Ying Lili chose to refuse because the taste was too strong.

"What a pity." Xing Jian closed the lid and put the small wooden box aside.

Seeing this, Ying Lili asked suspiciously: "Xing Jian, don't you want to add it?"

"I don't like spicy food."

"Then you..." Ying Lili became more and more confused, why do you make chili sauce if you don't like spicy food?

"Not liking it doesn't mean you don't want to eat it. Sometimes the taste is too bland in your mouth, so you want some spicy flavor to adjust your appetite."

"Oh..." Ying Lili understood.

Speaking of which, she herself also had that kind of time, when she usually doesn't like spicy food, but at certain moments she suddenly wants to eat something spicy.

That's weird, is the body craving something in the chili?

The dinner ended quickly, and I don't know if it was because of hunger, or because of the salt, the two of them ate up to three or four catties of oyster meat, and even drank a lot of soup.

"I'm so full..." Ying Lili sat by the fire, too lazy to move.

"Going for a walk?" Starfire asked.

"I don't want to move..." The lazy Ying Lili wanted to find a backrest, she stared at Xingjian's shoulder for a while, and silently chose to give up.

"Overeating is easy to gain weight, Ying Lili, are you sure you don't want to go for a walk?"

"Tch~" Ying Lili curled her lips in disdain, "No way, I overeat every day at home, and I haven't lost weight."

"Hehe~ Ying Lili, are most of the so-called overeating you call fruit salads? Is that also called overeating? You must know that the nutrition of meat is not comparable to that of fruits."

"..." Ying Lili gritted her teeth, "Anyway, I won't go for a walk, so you can go by yourself."
