Li Yingjie turned over and found four fish and two octopuses in the puddle.

In addition, there are more than half a basket of kelp.

Such a harvest made him very excited. He put all these kelp and fish into the basket, and Li Yingjie carried them towards Lin Xiaoying's position.

It is not suitable to carry it at this time, because there is water on the kelp and the basket is already wet, and carrying it will wet the clothes on the body.

In cold weather, wet clothes can be troublesome.

When she came to the edge of the beach, Lin Xiaoying had almost boiled a pot of water dry, and some sea salt crystals could be seen forming on the edge of the iron pot.

"You're back, what did you find?" Lin Xiaoying stirred the water in the pot to let it evaporate quickly, and asked Li Yingjie what he had gained.

Li Yingjie lifted the basket in his hand and said with a smile, "Look for yourself!"

Lin Xiaoying just raised her head and looked, hey!
Most of the basket was filled with kelp, and there were still a few jumping fish on the kelp. When I looked closely, there were actually two octopuses.

"Where did you find this?" she asked in surprise.

"There is a puddle on the beach over there..." Li Yingjie told the story of how he found the puddle and fished things out of it just now. Lin Xiaoying immediately became interested and wanted to go and see it too.

Li Yingjie said with a smile: "Let's boil this pot of salt first, let's explore together later!"

Li Yingjie glanced at the system panel, the system time was 12:49.

It's time for lunch too!
This pot of salt was boiled for nearly an hour, and the final boiled sea salt crystals were about [-] grams.

Li Yingjie collected them and temporarily stored them in the kettle.

She said to Lin Xiaoying: "Let's find out if there is any fresh water nearby. If the river on the island passes through here, there should be drinkable water."

Seawater cannot be drunk directly, nor can it be boiled, unless they find a way to distill it.

However, Li Yingjie felt that it would be better to find the river flowing from the island than to waste that effort.

"Should we go back today?" Lin Xiaoying asked.

She felt that if she had to go back today, it would be better to hurry up and boil the sea salt, otherwise the sea tide would be high and it would delay a lot of time.

Li Yingjie looked at the sun, shook his head and said, "Even if we go back today, we will definitely not be able to reach our shelter before dark, so let's not go back and leave tomorrow morning."

If there is no delay on the road, one day should be just enough to go back.

After discussing a few words, the two took their things to find fresh water.

Li Yingjie originally thought that he would have to walk a long way, but he didn't expect that after walking three or four kilometers in the other direction where he had just discovered the puddle, he saw a river.

The river flows from afar and flows into the sea.

A taste of the past, the river is fresh water.

The two lit a fire on the spot, washed the iron pot first, and then began to boil water for drinking.

Li Yingjie hung the kelp on a tree beside him to dry up the water on it. Although it is winter now, the sun still has some temperature, but it must be quite different from the summer sun.

The kelp is estimated to take a week to dry in the sun.

But luckily they won't rot too quickly!
The two first boiled some water to drink, and then began to stew the fish.

At this time, Li Yingjie discovered the trouble of putting salt in the kettle.

Once the kettle is filled with salt, there is no way to fill it with water. After they boil the water, they can only drink this meal, and then there will be no more!
So next, Lin Xiaoying started to kill fish and stew fish soup, and Li Yingjie found thicker wood around.

Prepare to make a container out of wood.

A wooden cup can be made by digging the wood with a knife in the middle, but this method is extremely troublesome.

They don't have professional tools. If they want to do this, they can only dig bit by bit with a knife. Even if Li Yingjie is strong, he is unwilling to waste his energy on this matter.

But now, he really needs a wooden container.

Looking at the fire that Lin Xiaoying was burning in front of him, Li Yingjie came up with an idea.

He cut a section of wood first, and then picked out a few pieces of red-hot coals from the fire with a sapper shovel, and placed them at one end of the wood.

The charcoal burned the wood immediately. Li Yingjie fiddled with them to make them burn faster, while being careful not to let them burn through the two sides of the wood.

When it reaches the edge of the wood, use a utility knife to scrape off the sparks to stop it from continuing to burn.

After Lin Xiaoying finished stewing the fish, Li Yingjie finally made a wooden cup.

It is said to be a cup, but it is nearly fifteen centimeters in diameter and over twenty centimeters in height, more like a small thermos.

Li Yingjie scraped off the burnt black area with a knife, which seemed very practical.

"I'll find a thin wood to make a cover later, it should work like that." Li Yingjie showed Lin Xiaoying proudly.

Lin Xiaoying took it, tried to fill it with some water, and thought it was good.

"When we find that kind of particularly thick tree, can we still make a big bucket!"

She made a gesture. There is no clay by the river here, so it would be difficult to make a clay pot or a water jar.

But if you want to take a bath, you must use such a large vessel. If you use a pot to boil water to take a bath, it always feels a bit inappropriate!
Lin Xiaoying began to imagine the scene.

Li Yingjie smiled.

"This is easy to handle. On the way back, we will pay attention to where there are thicker trees, cut off a section and carry it back!"

With that said, Li Yingjie looked at the fish soup in the pot.

There is no onion, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, star anise, or even oil.

This pot of fish soup is pure stew, and some sea salt that has not been purified and filtered has been added to it.

However, after Li Yingjie took a sip, the salty food still made him squint his eyes in surprise.

"It's not bad, it's like a normal meal. Compared to this, it was just food in the past. The food we ingested in order to survive is like the stuff that Bell eats, whose protein is five times that of beef!"

With the fish in his mouth, Li Yingjie didn't stop and kept talking.

Lin Xiaoying gave him a blank look, and said, "Hurry up and eat, we have agreed to take me to visit other places later!"

Li Yingjie smiled.

Four fish, the largest one weighs one catty, the smallest is only about four taels, a total of about three catties of fish meat, and two octopuses weighing half a catty.

So many things, and a small half pot of soup, quickly entered the stomachs of the two of them.

Li Yingjie was good at eating, and Lin Xiaoying also ate a lot. The two of them didn't dislike each other. After eating, they wiped their mouths excitedly and sat on the ground to rest.

"Would you like to take a nap?" Lin Xiaoying asked.

"Yes, but we need to build a shelter first, let's find a suitable location."

The two hit it off, packed up their things, cleaned the iron pot, and began to look for a suitable camping place around.

Soon, they found a huge stone pile.

Every stone here was as big as a car, and it was still on the edge of the beach. Li Yingjie looked at the surface of the stone, and there was no sign of flooding on the upper part.

"How about we build the shelter on top of this?" Li Yingjie said with a raised lip.
