Survival From The Wilderness: Mission Master

Chapter 403

Chapter 403 Harvest

Expecting to pull the box to the bright spot, the fat man rubbed his hands and opened the box with the professor.

What caught your eye was a bunch of yellow lemons.

Upon seeing this, the professor smiled immediately and said to the fat man and others: “During sailing, seafarers are prone to suffer from sepsis due to lack of vitamins. This disease has led to the deaths of a large number of seafarers, and it has also made sailing the most dangerous. One of the professions. In order to supplement vitamins at sea, many fleets will choose to bring easy-to-preserve lemons. Of course, this is just better than nothing, and the danger for seafarers is still high.

Fatty and the others are speechless. Modern people all know this basic common sense, and it’s not easy to interrupt the professor’s speech, so he listened to him all the time.

While talking, the professor turned his gaze to the half-box example: “But we live on the island, and the demand for vitamins is not so high. These lemons can only be regarded as icing on the cake. Unfortunately, it is still uncertain about the climate of the island. How on earth, if we can, we can even consider planting some lemons

Hearing that, the fat man also laughed “hehe” and said, “This is a really good harvest. Potatoes shouldn’t be difficult to grow. When I used to read novels, I often saw that the growth conditions of potatoes are very simple.

Having said this, Aunt Ge immediately spoke: “I don’t know how to grow this lemon, but I can ripen this potato. Just cut it into pieces and bury it in the soil.

The fat man nodded hurriedly, and he couldn’t help but look forward to the future life.

And just when the fat man was about to fumble into the bottom compartment to search for more boxes, the sound of footsteps was remembered from outside the cabin. Several people turned their heads and looked at them. It was Annie and Lu Xueyi who walked in with a torch alone.

As soon as they walked into the bottom cabin, they saw a few boxes lying under the feet of the professors, which surprised both Annie and Lu Xueyi. The two walked up quickly, and under the light of the fire, several boxes of supplies were clearly displayed in front of Annie and Lu Xueyi. Now, even Annie couldn’t help but smile. She has lived on another island for a long time. Correspondingly, she hasn’t seen such things as potatoes, lemons, and refined salt for many years.

And seeing the torches in the hands of the two, the fat man was even more excited. He hurriedly walked to the ground in front of Lu Xueyi and said, “There should be other supplies in this bottom cabin. Don’t waste time here. Keep looking. Bar”.

Seeing the fat monkey looking anxious, Lu Xueyi smiled and handed the torch to the fat man.

The fat man took the torch and said: “You follow me too. After finding the box, I will move the box. I can’t raise the fire.”

Lu Xueyi nodded when he heard the words, followed the fat man, and walked into the bottom of the cabin.

Seeing that the two had already begun to explore, Annie was naturally unwilling to be left behind, and looked at each other with the professor and Aunt Ge, and the three walked in the other direction.

With the support of the torch, the exploration of the few people has become much easier, and there is no need to walk carefully step by step like the fat man before. At this time, several people had a fuller understanding of the extent of the ship’s destruction. Broken wooden boards can be seen everywhere, and a lot of goods such as potatoes can be seen scattered on the ground. It seems that not all wooden boxes have survived the same as the previous few people found.

After searching for a while, several people finally found two boxes near the stern of the ship. Passing the torch to the professor, Annie stepped forward, opened the box, and a strange smell rushed out of the box. Annie frowned and found that the box was filled with preserved food, such as salted fish. And unlike the previous boxes, although those boxes have some water in them, they are still relatively dry in general. And this box seemed to be completely drenched in water. Under the immersion of sea water, these kippers also gave off a stench.

Turning his head to look at the professor and Aunt Ge, the professor frowned and said, “It seems that it is no longer available, but it can only be said that it is a pity. Otherwise, the salt in these pickled foods is also what we need.”

Annie put the lid back and said blankly: “At the beach, the difficulty of obtaining salt is not that high. After all, there are only five of us, and we have just found some bags of refined salt. Don’t worry about these salted fish. .

After speaking, Annie turned to another box, but looking at the situation of the kipper next door, Annie didn’t have any hope of what was in this box.

But what surprised her was that after opening the box, a dozen bottles appeared in front of her.

Seeing this, the professor immediately leaned forward, picked up a bottle with a pleasant surprise on his face, shook it slightly, then hesitated for a few seconds, turned his head again to look at Annie and Aunt Ge, and said: “I doubt this should be the early stage. Canned food!”

Annie also picked up a wide-mouth bottle. Under the reminder of the professor, she also found that the bottle was somewhat similar to canned food.

The professor on the side sighed: “It seems that our luck today is really good. These cans are packed in iron jars, not the earliest glass bottles. Otherwise, glass cans will definitely not survive this shipwreck. So it seems that this ship is from at least the beginning of the nineteenth century, when the canned food after high-temperature heating appeared.

The professor said these two sentences in English, and Aunt Ge didn’t understand it, but seeing that both Anne and the professor looked happy, Aunt Ge couldn’t help but ask, “What is this?”

The professor also reacted and immediately explained: “This should be canned vegetables or canned fruits.

The professor’s explanation made Aunt Ge also pleasantly said: “Is this a can, or open one?”

The professor shook his head and said: “The iron cans placed in this place are mostly cans. There is no need to open a waste here. Let’s explore the rest of the place.”

Aunt Ge thought for a while, and felt that what the professor said was reasonable, so she didn’t continue to speak. The three continued to walk towards the stern.

And just when a few people felt that the harvest in the bottom deck might end here, a large rolled up canvas leaned against the stern and appeared in front of the three of them.

The professor walked up quickly, ignoring that the canvas had been soaked in sea water and it was very dirty, so he squatted down and touched it. After a while, he turned his head and said, “This may be a spare sail on the ship. This kind of cloth is not only excellent in water resistance, but also very strong and durable. Whether it is used as a waterproof material or tents, etc. Very suitable! Although we temporarily

It seems that this material is not used at times, but in the process of improving our living conditions, we can definitely use it!”

Annie also squatted down to feel the touch of the canvas, and then nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed a very good material. Ton.
