People who are used to working are never idle for a moment.

"Let's fire the pottery in the kiln first."

Lin Xuan was also restless and went back to the wooden shed to move out the pottery that the girl had made yesterday, including basins, sundials, pottery bowls, teapots and pottery plates.

He placed the pottery in the kiln and said softly,"It's just enough to fire until the afternoon, so we can fire another kiln."

""Hoo, hoo!"

Lin Xuan spent some time to light the fire, then blew hard to ignite it.

Half an hour later, he sealed the kiln and waited until the afternoon to open it again.

"Lin Xuan, it's time for breakfast."Chen Yiyi's crisp voice came

""Here we go." Lin Xuan washed his dishes in the sink and returned to the shed. Breakfast was already ready.

He sat down and looked at the fish and wild vegetables in the steel pot. He whispered,"Have you finished eating all the wild vegetables?"

There were fewer wild vegetables in the steel pot than usual.

""We've finished eating. This is the last bit of wild vegetables." Chen Yiyi said helplessly.

Although they had fish, they cooked it with wild vegetables and kelp. Fish is not a real staple food, otherwise they would eat a lot of fish in one meal.

"Then go out and explore tomorrow and bring back more wild vegetables."Lin Xuan said in a deep voice

"The weather is almost over. I think we should make some dried wild vegetables or pickled vegetables. We have salt. Otherwise, we will have nothing to eat in winter."Chen Yiyi suggested

"This is fine."Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. This is also a way to store food.

Many regions have the custom of storing food in this way, turning fresh vegetables into dried or pickled products. It just so happens that the two of them have pottery to store things.

"There is no staple food, otherwise it would be better." Chen Yiyi sighed.

The staple food is large enough to fill you up. As for nutrition, it is secondary in the wild. As long as you don't starve to death, it's fine.

"There should be some. Next time you explore, look for some starchy rhizomes."Lin Xuan said softly.

Some of the starchy rhizomes in the wild are poisonous. If they are not processed, they can easily cause food poisoning, which can lead to diarrhea, kidney failure, etc.

"Hmm, it would be nice if we could find some sweet potatoes." Chen Yiyi muttered.

""Smack your lips." Lin Xuan's lips twitched. He really wanted to say that this was unlikely.

He changed the subject and said,"Chen Yiyi, make a few more in the shape of small water tanks."

"Okay." Chen Yiyi nodded. It is not difficult to make a small water tank. The difficult part is patience.

"I will cut some thorns and make a fence later. I will build a yard today."Lin Xuan arranged.

Winter is coming. There is less food and many wild animals will come out to look for food.

When they are too hungry, wild animals may not be afraid of fire, so fences must be built to prevent them from attacking at night.

"Are you going to a far place?" Chen Yiyi asked quickly.

""Not far, just a few minutes away," Lin Xuan said with a smile.

There are many thorny plants in the forest, and the thorns are very long. Wild animals will avoid areas with thorns.

Although it is a bit troublesome to use thorns to make fences, it can effectively prevent wild animals from sneaking in.

"That's good, I'll prepare some more water for you." Chen Yiyi said as she put down her bowl and chopsticks to boil water.

""Okay." Lin Xuan did not stop him.

The breakfast was not very rich, but it was very warm.

Lin Xuan took the two bamboo tubes of boiled water prepared by the girl, took the rope and the hatchet and went out. He wanted to cut more thorns while the sun was rising. The forest was not static. Plants were growing every moment, and some tender leaves had grown from the broken plants on the road that had been opened before.

"In a few days, if it rains a few times, this road will be gone." Lin Xuan sighed.
