Hearing Bai Xiaolu’s voice, Lu Wei thought something had happened, so he quickly dropped the tools in his hands and ran out.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Lu Wei asked hurriedly when she saw Bai Xiaolu.

Seeing Lu Youyi’s butt burning, Bai Xiaolu blinked and said innocently: “It’s okay, I just asked you to come and see if there is enough firewood. If there is enough, we will go catch fish.”

Lu Wei glared at the girl. It was obvious that the little girl was playing tricks on him.

But he didn’t bother to argue with her. He looked at the pile of firewood, nodded and said, “Okay, this is enough, you can go catch fish.”

“Then are we going?” Yang Xiaohu said as he wiped the sweat from his face.

Lu Wei looked at the sun hanging high in the sky. It was now past 10 o’clock in the morning, and the sea water was beginning to ebb. The water at the mouth of the river was only about half a meter deep, so there should be no danger.

So he nodded: “Okay, go ahead, be careful.”

There is no need to rush to the sea at noon today. There are so many oysters on the beach and the fish in the fish cages are enough to last for a while.

Moreover, these two days are neap tides and dead floods, and the harvest from catching the sea is not great. It is completely useless and a waste of time.

Now they are very pressed for time and must quickly store enough food to avoid starving during consecutive rainy days.

As for seafood, it is better to keep it for a few days and pick it up together during the mid-tide or spring tide a few days later.

Seeing the girls walking towards the river, Lu Wei took the engineer shovel into the woods.

He was looking for some materials to weave mats. In fact, the best material for weaving was undoubtedly bamboo.

However, no bamboo forest has ever been found here. The few bamboos occasionally seen on the beach are dried bamboo floating on the sea and are not suitable for weaving.

In fact, bark can also be woven, and it is strong and durable, but it is too troublesome to remove the bark.

It happened that Lu Wei had seen the leaves of a plant, which were also a good material for weaving mats.

That is the leaves of the pandanus tree. These leaves are very long, usually more than one meter or even two meters long, and seven or eight centimeters wide.

Moreover, the leaves are rich in fiber, very strong, and very soft after drying, making them very suitable for weaving.

The leaves can even be used as roof tiles for shelters.

The only drawback is that there are some small thorns on the leaves and sides of the Pandanus tree.

But this doesn’t bother Lu Wei, just tear off the small thorns on both sides.

The thorns on the leaves are gone by clamping the leaves with two wooden sticks and pulling them away.

Lu Wei chopped a lot of pandanus leaves, sat on the ground and started processing them.

After all, two large beds can sleep nine people, and the mats required are not too small.

Lu Weiwei worked for more than an hour and cleaned out two large bundles of leaves.

Feeling that it was almost done, I picked up the leaves and returned to the shelter.

At this time, the beds in the shelter were basically ready.

The purlins have been laid, and a thick layer of hay and foam has been placed on top. It’s warm and soft to lie on.

Everyone, who had been tired all morning, was lying in his own room to rest.

The girls had just finished processing the fish and had time to marinate and dry it. Two large cages collected a total of dozens of kilograms of fish.

It took the four girls more than an hour to finish, and everyone smelled fishy.

At this time, I was lying on the bed, debating whether to take a bath first or dry the fish first.

At this time, everyone resting in the room heard the footsteps outside and knew that Lu Wei was back.

Everyone got up and went out, just in time to see Lu Wei coming back carrying two bundles of leaves.

Those two large bundles of leaves buried his whole body inside.

Touching the leaf to the ground casually, Lu Wei let out a sigh of relief. Seeing everyone there, he asked casually: “Are the beds and fish done?”

“We just finished, let’s take a rest. What did you do?” Wu Jing stepped forward and asked curiously.

“These are the leaves of the pandanus tree. I plan to dry them and weave them into a mat to spread on the bed. It will also make our bed more beautiful and tidy.”

Wu Jing nodded: “This is indeed a good idea.”

Yang Xiaohu stepped forward and asked, “Do you need me to help you?”

Lu Wei chuckled: “No need to help, because this is a job prepared for you girls.”

“Then you teach me.”

“Okay, but these leaves must be dried before they can be used. Spread them out here and dry them. They will be dry tomorrow.”

Everyone worked together to spread the leaves on the ground, and then pressed them down with wooden sticks to prevent them from being blown away by the sea breeze.

“Okay, it’s getting late. Let’s prepare lunch. After the performance in the afternoon, we have other things to do.”

At noon, everyone ate fish roe, and most of the fish caught in cages were mullet.

The flesh of this fish is not very tasty, so just dry it in the sun and save it for frying or roasting later.

But aconite fish roe is a delicacy.

It is plump, golden in color and tastes very fragrant.

There is a delicacy in southern Fujian, which is to dry the mullet fish roe and roast it with a fire gun. It tastes good.

But Lu Wei still likes to eat fresh fried fish roe or pickled fish roe.

But now it is impossible to cook fish roe in sauce, but frying is still no problem.

The fried fish roe has a grainy texture in your mouth and leaves a fragrant aroma in your mouth. It is very delicious.
