Surviving Endless Disasters

Wen Zheng thought of rice in bamboo tubes, but he couldn't bear to eat the rice that was going to be used as seeds, so he made some for peace of mind. The glass bottle was pressed under the plastic bag, because the plastic bag above was scratched by Wen Zheng, and the silt inside Flow onto the top of the glass bottle.

After wiping away the mud on it and seeing clearly what was inside, Wen Zheng opened his eyes as wide as possible, filled with shock and joy.

This is a drift bottle. In addition to the slightly yellowed paper, there is also a transparent waterproof bag containing things.

The drift bottle appeared in the Age of Navigation as a way of communicating across the ocean. The biggest feature of this method is its unpredictability.

When Columbus put the map of America in a bottle and threw it into the sea, it was not discovered by humans until three hundred years later.

And not every drifting bottle can float to the beach. Some are swallowed by large sea fish, some are entangled in aquatic plants and sink to the bottom of the sea, and many more drift on the sea without stopping.

Only those lucky enough bottles can be picked up by humans, and today's bottle is even more lucky for Wen Zheng.

Before buying marine garbage, Wen Zheng had hoped to find the most lacking things in it, but when luck did come, he couldn't believe it.

This waterproof bag contained seeds, which he recognized. It contained rice and barley, the crop seeds he dreamed of.

Pulling out the rubber stopper of the drift bottle, Wen Zheng carefully took out the note inside. Inside was a line of childish Chinese fonts that read: For those Mr. Robinsons on desert islands.

Seeing familiar fonts on a desert island really makes people feel friendly. The mouth hidden in the leaf mask has long raised the brightest smile. Wen Zheng's eyebrows are full of joy, and more I would also like to express my gratitude to the owner of this drift bottle.

I don’t know who made this unique drifting bottle after reading Robinson Crusoe.

In the book, the plants grown by Robinson Crusoe are rice and barley. Perhaps the owner of the drift bottle did not expect that this drift bottle would really reach the hands of "Robinson on the Desert Island". Wen Zheng wished that he or she could Have the same good fortune.

Holding this precious drifting bottle in his hand, Wen Zheng couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He raised the bamboo pole in his hand and waved it twice. He even took off his mask and shouted twice at the sea. The depression accumulated in so many days on the desert island Clear them all.

Wen Zheng put the precious rice he found in a bamboo basket to protect it, and then he searched even more carefully, making sure not to miss anything that could be used.

Although he didn't find anything precious anymore, Wen Zheng was already very satisfied.

The waves that brought this marine garbage ashore also brought out some marine life, which stayed in the smelly garbage dump. Those fish and shrimps quickly lost their vitality.

Wen Zheng saw a piece of red coral. The color was particularly beautiful. Even though it was not big in size, it would be great to take it back and make it an ornament to decorate the cave.

Today's harvest was beyond Wen Zheng's expectation. He even gave up his dissatisfaction with the system profiteers and moved some of Wang Jing's cleaning things back to the cave. It was already noon.

Wen Zheng was going to take a break and wait until lunch before conducting a blanket search, not letting go of any possibility.

Walking to Wang Jing's coast, he used seawater for simple cleaning. After Wen Zheng returned to the cave, he held the drift bottle and smiled silly. It was indeed a gift prepared for Robinson. The rice and barley inside were full and stuffed. More than half of the drift bottle was filled. He planted these seeds and waited for a good harvest. After he finished eating, the task time was over.

It takes about three months for rice to mature from sowing, while barley takes longer to grow and takes about six months to mature. Moreover, the temperature here is suitable all year round, so it can be sown at any time.

But before sowing these seeds, there is a serious question: where to plant them.

Around the cave, only the grass outside the cave entrance can grow things, but the grass is connected to the beach, so it doesn't take much to know that this land is saline land.

However, barley is a typical salt-alkali and drought-tolerant crop, and rice also has a certain degree of salt-alkali tolerance, and these rice may be sea rice, so there is no problem.

An idea came into Wen Zheng's mind, maybe he should find a new place to live.

In the past few days, living in a cave has been great, but it is undeniable that it is too far away from the mountains and forests, and a lot of time has to be spent on the road every time.

But finding a new place to live is not easy. Even if you find a suitable place, moving the things in the cave is a big problem.

After thinking about it for a while, Wen Zheng dismissed the idea of ​​moving. He only lived here for a year and had no time to move again, so he planted these seeds on the grass outside.

When sowing for the first time, sow one-third of the seeds first, and then sow the remaining seeds after they are sure to grow and mature after germination. If the seeds are really unable to survive, then consider moving.

Tuantuan wandered around for several times, but did not attract the attention of Wen Zheng who was thinking. His curious little eyes kept looking at the glass bottle in Wen Zheng's hand. This was a new food for him. Bird's head came up to see it. Watch the fun.

Wen Zheng's hands felt the plush touch and he hugged Tuantuan: "Tuan Tuan, you can't break this lucky bottle. It contains particularly precious crop seeds.

"Come on, let me tell you. After the rice is mature, you can hull it and then grind it to remove the bran layer to get rice. Rice is one of the most commonly eaten staple foods. I haven't tasted the taste of rice for a long time. If only I could have it now." How nice would it be to have a bowl of white rice or porridge.

By the way, rice can also be used to make wine and sugar.

The staple food we usually eat is rice and flour. Flour is made from wheat, but we have barley seeds. Barley has many uses, such as making beer, bread, and barley tea.

I can't think about it anymore. I'm so hungry.

"Wen Zheng couldn't continue talking. These in the bottle are used as seeds and can't be eaten now.

The group next to him chirped softly. Wen Zheng stood up and prepared lunch without thinking too much.

There are many ingredients in the cave. Wen Zheng wanted to make a simple one. Put wild taro king in the bamboo tube, add some fresh water, and put a few pieces of smoked meat king on it and roast it on the fire. This method was inspired by bamboo tube rice.

Wen Zheng thought of bamboo tube rice from rice, but he couldn't bear to eat the rice that was prepared as seeds, so he just made some for psychological comfort. The glass bottle was pressed under the plastic bag. Because the plastic bag was cut by Wen Zheng, the silt inside flowed onto the glass bottle.

After wiping off the silt on top and seeing what was inside clearly, Wen Zheng opened his eyes as wide as he could, full of shock and joy.

This is a drifting bottle. In addition to slightly yellowed paper, there is also a transparent waterproof bag containing things.

The drifting bottle appeared in the Age of Navigation. It is a way of communicating across the ocean. The biggest feature of this method is unpredictability.

Columbus put the map of America into a bottle and threw it into the sea. It was not discovered by humans until three hundred years later.

And not every drifting bottle can drift to the beach. Some are swallowed by large marine fish, some are entangled by water plants and sink to the bottom of the sea, and more are drifting non-stop on the sea.

Only those who are lucky enough to drift Bottles can only be picked up by humans, and today's drifting bottle is a symbol of luck for Wen Zheng.

Before buying marine garbage, Wen Zheng hoped that he could find the most needed things from it, but when luck really came, he couldn't believe it.

This waterproof bag contains seeds. He recognized that it contained rice and barley, which were the crop seeds he had always dreamed of.

Pulling out the rubber stopper of the drifting bottle, Wen Zheng carefully took out the note inside, which contained a line of childish Chinese fonts, saying: For Mr. Robinson on the deserted island.

Seeing familiar fonts on a deserted island really makes people feel at home. The mouth hidden in the leaf mask has long raised the brightest smile. Wen Zheng's eyebrows are full of unconcealed joy, and more of it is gratitude to the owner of this drifting bottle.
