Li Zheng brought back nine fish and two for breakfast, and the other seven were around the fire to make dried fish!

It was still stewed fish, and the three of them ate slowly, but there were too few bowls, only one.Alas, if there are a few more, how about a comfortable life?

Now the trestle on the tree is also ready, and there is also a stable supply of fresh water, and there are fish for food, and now 21 dried fish are ready!

Then all that is left is to perfect what is now.After thinking about it, Li Zheng decided to make something with the few steel plates and other materials he brought from the sunken ship before, and then prepare some defensive tools!

In the morning, Xu Mengyao or Liu Shiya were basically adding wood to the stove, and Li Zheng kept beating these materials. The sound of "bang bang bang..." has been surrounding the cave.

Finally, around noon, Li Zheng made the most exquisite knife. After polishing it with marble, it was almost the same as the fruit knife we ​​commonly use.

In addition, I also made two small knives because of the shape of the material itself, so I couldn’t make it so delicate. There is one that looks like a slightly wider awl, but they are all very sharp!

Li Zheng gave the most exquisite one to Xu Mengyao, and picked another one for Liu Shiya for self-defense. The awl-shaped knife was left in the cave for cutting things and so on.

The second daughter is also very happy with the knife in her hand, after all, the better the tools in her hand, the easier it is to survive on the island!

Before I knew it, it was noon, and I was still drinking the bland fish soup, there was nothing I could do!

"Li Zheng, why don't we try to make some sea salt! It was okay before, but now I'm getting tired of eating these, after all, there is no salty taste." Xu Mengyao said to Li Zheng while eating.

"But I don't know how to do it. Doesn't the seawater contain many other things? I heard that you can't directly evaporate the seawater to make sea salt. You can't eat that!" Li Zheng had heard about these things when he was in the army.

"I don't know how either, Sister Mengyao, but it's really a bit too bland..." Liu Shiya also shook her head and said.

"I know how to make salt, and we don't need to extract high-purity sea salt now, as long as it can be eaten normally." Xu Mengyao looked confident.

"Oh? How to do it? You said what you need, and Shiya and I will help you." Li Zheng was refreshed when he heard that Xu Mengyao could make sea salt. If there was salt, he didn't want to just eat such light food.

"Ah, Sister Mengyao, you are too powerful, haha, then we will soon have sea salt." Liu Shiya was so happy that she kissed Xu Mengyao, which immediately made Xu Mengyao give Liu Shiya a blank look.

"I have only learned the theory, and we don't have such things now, so we can only make it briefly." Xu Mengyao reminded in advance.

"It's okay, it's good to try it. And I don't know how to do it at all, so what do you need now?" Li Zheng waved his hand and asked.

"I need a lot of water containers, um..., charcoal, roving, fine sand, and clay pots for a while." Xu Mengyao roughly listed a few items that they could find.

Liu Shiya became even more excited when she heard it, they have all of these.

But Li Zheng looked at the two buckets on the ground. To be honest, he didn't want to use these buckets. In case something happened, it could be used in an emergency.

But the dozen or so water bottles on the ground are obviously not enough. Even if Li Zheng has never done it, he has roughly heard that sea salt needs to be evaporated to make sea salt. If there is little sea water, he can also make wool sea salt.

By the way, there are many water bottles tied to the previous raft, you can bring them here!

Li Zheng stood up immediately, Xu Mengyao and the others were also very surprised and didn't know what he was going to do!Immediately afterwards, Li Zheng said, "Don't use these two buckets, we need to keep fresh water reserves all the time. Those water bottles shouldn't be enough. I'll go to the raft and bring back all our previous water bottles."

"But, there are wolves outside! And we can't use so much sea water at one time, just use it back and forth." Xu Mengyao was a little worried about Li Zheng's accident, so he could only increase the frequency of water bottle use.

"Are you sure it's enough?" Li Zheng still had some doubts.

"That's enough, didn't you say you want to listen to me! I said, don't take it if you have enough, it's too dangerous." Seeing that Li Zheng was still hesitant, Xu Mengyao said firmly.

"Yeah Brother Li Zheng, we don't understand, let's listen to sister Mengyao." Liu Shiya was also very worried about Li Zheng going out, because maybe the wolf came out from somewhere.

"Okay then, I'll listen to you. Is there anything else you need?" Li Zheng didn't insist anymore, and now he wanted to make sea salt quickly, and he was tired of eating so light.

"Why don't you, Li Zheng, chop some thicker bamboo and come back, we have the rest here, so we don't need to prepare anything else!" Xu Mengyao looked at him and asked him to chop some bamboo and come back.

"Okay, then you and Shiya get ready first, I'm going to chop bamboo." Li Zheng picked up his machete and went out to climb up the trestle bridge to chop bamboo.

Here Xu Mengyao and Liu Shiya pulled out a pile of charcoal from the fire, and then took clay pots and water bottles without caps to the beach.

As usual, Xu Mengyao cleaned the clay pot with sand first, and Liu Shiya filled the water bottle with seawater at the side. Liu Shiya was also constantly observing the surroundings, and gradually a tacit understanding of teamwork was formed.

After cleaning the pot, Xu Mengyao poured a lot of sand into the pot, and Xu Mengyao washed it vigorously with sea water.Finally, after washing the sand several times, I filled a lot of coarse and fine river sand with banana leaves.

Because they were still worried about the sudden appearance of wolves, Xu Mengyao and Liu Shiya took their things back to the enclosure after preparing these, and brought them back to the enclosure three times, so that they would not be afraid of wolves coming!

As soon as the gate of the fence was closed, Li Zheng put down a thick bamboo from the trestle, and then climbed down the ladder by himself.

"How much bamboo do you need?" Li Zheng dragged the bamboo to Xu Mengyao and asked.

"Cut out two bamboo tubes, separate them, one section at a time, the taller the bamboo tubes, the better" Xu Mengyao ordered.

"Okay." Li Zheng picked up the machete and cut carefully along the edge of the bamboo joint, for fear of splitting the bamboo.

"Sister Mengyao, what should I do?" Liu Shiya asked Xu Mengyao with her head sideways.

"Shiya, bring the sea water into the cave first, and help me bring out the charcoal we prepared." Xu Mengyao gave another order, which was obviously easy for President Xu to control.

After a while, the three of them became busy.After Li Zheng cut a section of bamboo, Xu Mengyao used his awl knife to pierce seven or eight holes in the bottom of the bamboo tube.

Xu Mengyao looked at the clothes of Li Zheng and Liu Shiya, and when they were a little scared, she took a knife and cut off the two long lower corners of her shirt.Immediately, the skin on the abdomen was partly visible.

"What are you looking at! Work quickly!" Xu Mengyao felt embarrassed when she saw Li Zheng staring at her with wide-eyed eyes.

Xu Mengyao put one of the shirts at the bottom of the bamboo tube, then picked up a handful of fine sand and poured it into the bamboo tube.

Later, Xu Mengyao put charcoal in it again, and then poured some roving in, and a simple filter was ready!

After Li Zheng cut another bamboo tube, Xu Mengyao used the same method to make another filter, so that if the two are used together, most of the things can be filtered out.Li Zheng thought that the bamboo tube could be used as a water cup anyway, so he chopped three or four more bamboo tubes.

Back in the cave, Xu Mengyao poured fresh water into the filter and waited until the water that flowed out became clear.

All set and ready to make sea salt...
