When the time comes to pay it back, I really don’t know how to do it.

But anyway, after thinking of a solution to the problem of getting lost.

Zhang Liu just felt that he was in a very good mood.

He shelled the coffee beans with his fingers.

While continuing to recall the various actions the girls had taken towards him the night before departure.

It's true that both are fat and thin, and each has their own advantages.

It’s a pity that everyone only tried it briefly and there was no subsequent detailed development.

I guess it’s because of lack of time.

As the night gradually deepened, Zhang Liu, who was in a state of daydreaming, had already sorted out all the coffee beans.

He found that the proportion of flesh to skin was quite high.

With the outer skin, the amount is enough to fill an alloy pot and all pockets, but without the outer skin, it is only the amount of a bottle of Nongfu Spring.

Heat the alloy pot and roast all the coffee beans in it.

The whole process was done in one go without any hesitation.

But something Zhang Liu had not expected soon occurred.

He originally thought that he had already removed the husks of the coffee beans and cleaned them, but halfway through roasting, a lot of silvery-white husks suddenly appeared.

It is like snowflakes, super light and will fall outside during the frying process.

But at this moment he didn't care about these things that he didn't know what they were.

In order to ensure the progress of roasting, Zhang Liu continued to use several branches to stir the coffee beans in the alloy pot.

He didn't consider the temperature or anything like that.

So the only thought in Zhang Liu’s mind was to fry it until cooked, then grind it into powder and make coffee with it tomorrow morning.

When the coffee beans are first put into the pot, they have a smell of grass that has been roasted at high temperature to remove the water.

But with the appearance of the silvery-white outer layer during the roasting process, the herbal smell gradually turned into the coffee bean smell that he was quite familiar with.

But since he couldn't be sure whether it was cooked through, Zhang Liu couldn't stop working.

He stopped frying only when the first smell of burnt food appeared.

Then Zhang Liu took the entire alloy pot off the pot stand and placed it on the cool soil inside the banyan tree cave to cool it down.

As for the remaining crushing work, he had no way to do it.

Because the coffee beans are still very hot, and if you pinch them with your hands, they are still a bit damp and soft.

Zhang Liu, who has experience in frying peanuts, knows very well that at this time the peanuts need to rely on themselves to dry.

So I can only leave it alone and consider grinding it into powder tomorrow morning.

After the coffee beans were roasted, he felt that the entire banyan tree cave was filled with the unique aroma of coffee beans and the burnt smell of soybeans.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Liu didn't hate the smell.

At this moment, the night outside was already very dark, so he lay directly on the curtains, then covered himself with a second layer of curtains and began to sleep.

Originally, Zhang Liu was vaguely worried that the aroma of coffee would have a refreshing effect and prevent him from sleeping.

Chapter 25: Four Women Prepare to Go to Sea (Monthly Ticket Reward Chapter 42)

As the aroma of coffee beans completely filled his nasal cavity, Zhang Liu suddenly felt as if he had returned to the civilized world and was preparing for the high school entrance examination.

He remembered that every time he came home from school, he would finish his housework and then go back to his room to start doing his homework.

The two lovely sisters would lie obediently on the bed behind them and sleep or read.

Occasionally, they would suddenly laugh quietly for no apparent reason, but when they turned around and saw that they were working hard on the questions, they would immediately stop laughing.

Whenever I asked my two sisters what they were laughing at, the answers I received were: "I won't tell my stupid brother!" from the eldest sister and "Why should I tell you, you idiot!" from the second sister.

Although the two didn't say it, Zhang Liu also knew the general reason.

At that time, their mother had just passed away, and they were probably afraid that their brother, who stayed in his room all night, would suddenly disappear...

The beautiful memories in his heart made Zhang Liu relax all over.

With a slight yawn, he wrapped himself in the curtains and fell into a deep sleep as he felt sleepy.

........................

The next morning, it was not raining but the sky was gloomy.

Zhang Liu used the hammer head of a fire hammer to easily grind a pot of coffee powder for himself, and sealed it in a plastic bottle. After drinking the coffee and broth, he set off on his journey.

In his hands, he was holding two wooden sticks of different lengths and a metal pipe, one on the left and one on the right.

The plan to walk in a straight line through the jungle that I had thought of last night has now been put into action.

On the mountainside, after feeding Little Yellow and Little White, he threw a large bundle of taro stalks to the little goat shivering in bamboo house No. 2.

After everyone finished their breakfast of cold taro mixed with lamb leg soup, they started their full day's work schedule.

Just as they had agreed last night, Xiang Wanying and Gu Qingrou went down the mountain to cut bamboo and build a shelter for the female goat that Anya had named Xiaohei.

Qin Ruoyan took Xiang Lingying, Anya, and Lan Yueting to the top of the mountain. They agreed to meet Qin Ruoshuang and Su Yan who stayed at home in the evening.

This time, everyone’s goal is not only taro, but also those precious peppers and fruits!

You know, the lamb ribs haven’t been roasted yet!

Mix pepper and salt into lard, then spread it on the lamb ribs to marinate, and use egg yolk fruit and tamarind to make a seasoning sauce.

This is Qin Ruoyan’s ultimate enjoyment goal!

As for her younger sisters Qin Ruoshuang and Su Yan, they are currently staying behind.

Their daytime job today is to process the charcoal, birds and kelp in bamboo house No. 3.

It was cloudy this morning, which not only effectively helped Zhang Liu and the other nine people to carry out their respective work, but for Zhou Fang and the others, this cloudy day was also very rare good weather.

Because in this way, they can go to the nearby fruit forest to collect fruits.

Zhou Fang, Gu Xixi, Song Shuyao and Zhao Yiran were currently standing together in a fruit forest that was originally full of fruits.

Looking around at this moment, the fruits on every fruit tree are falling in large numbers.

Even the egg yolk fruits that used to require considerable physical effort to pick are now falling to the ground in large quantities, and any one you pick up will have obvious signs of softening and rotting.

Pick up a ripe egg yolk fruit and make sure it is not completely inedible.

Song Shuyao peeled it and put it in her mouth for breakfast.

I silently felt the taste of some not-so-fresh and delicious fruit in my mouth.

Then she looked at Zhou Fang who was peeling a snake fruit beside her and said, "Teacher Zhou, why don't we continue to go out to sea!"

"Gurgle..." Zhou Fang was so scared after hearing Song Shuyao's words that she swallowed a piece of snake fruit flesh along with the core.

With eyes wide open, she looked at her student in front of her, her eyes full of confusion and disbelief.

Gu Xixi and Zhao Yiran beside Zhou Fang also had confused expressions.

"I thought about it last night." Being stared at like this by everyone, Song Shuyao also felt a little pressured.

But then she also started to talk about the reason why she thought so: "There are fewer and fewer fruits now. Although there are still some growing on the trees, I don't know how many will be left in the future. If we wait until there are no more fruits to go out to sea, we won't die of thirst, but we will definitely starve to death!"

"No, that's too dangerous." Shaking her head, Zhou Fang directly denied Song Shuyao's words: "You mentioned the idea of ​​building a raft to go out to sea a long time ago, but didn't you cancel the idea because you were worried about the storm?"

During the more than sixty days that they stayed on the north side of the island, Zhou Fang and his three companions were not really just living a life of idleness and waiting to die.

It’s different from Zhang Liu’s situation of building a family and then developing stably.

After Zhou Fang's failed expedition to the west, he fell into a period of depression and even lost the courage to take risks. At that time, Song Shuyao, who was still in a state of "arrogance and self-esteem", decisively put forward a new suggestion.

That is, instead of risking your life to explore this island, it is better to escape directly!

The specific plan is to build a raft and go out to sea!

Zhou Fang, the class teacher, once dissuaded this plan because she felt it was too dangerous.

But then Song Shuyao proposed that the four of them should decide by voting.

Zhou Fang decisively voted against it, while Song Shuyao and Zhao Yiran voted in favor.

Gu Xixi, however, was neutral.

She is not as opinionated as Xiang Wanying, so when it comes to "taking sides", Gu Xixi is unwilling to oppose Zhou Fang, who almost became her godmother, nor does she want to disobey the two young ladies, Song Shuyao and Zhao Yiran.

So she chose to remain neutral.

So the voting result was two to one to one, with the majority going overseas.

The shipbuilding operation began after the first storm.

Next to the quadrilateral reef, there were at least thirty pieces of dry wood as thick as thighs.

These were the shipbuilding materials that Zhou Fang and his four colleagues had collected by working hard day and night during that period.

Song Shuyao's original plan was to build three rafts.

One raft was filled with fruits and giant clam shells containing fresh water, and then two rafts with two people each were put into the sea to try their luck!

But later on, everyone encountered a lot of trouble in bundling the wood.

Wood that is not trimmed neatly does not meet the conditions for secure binding.

So the four of them began to use simple tools such as giant clam shells or stones to continuously process the branches on the trees.

And when the second storm came, they managed to roughly trim all the wood.

But soon after, the rainy season arrived.

Faced with this seasonal change, the plan to go out to sea was directly interrupted by the fear of storms.

Everyone began to prepare for the rainy season in a miserable state.

Now looking at the continuous rainy weather, and the fruits around are about to rot and fall off.

The idea of ​​going out to sea to try her luck came to Song Shuyao's mind again.

Facing Zhou Fang's question, she explained, "It's raining all day long now, but based on my observations over the past few days, no matter how heavy the rain is, the wind won't be too strong, so the probability of capsizing in a storm is very small. As for the problem of fresh water, there's no need to worry about it. We can take a raft and float on the sea. As long as we bring enough fruit, we can be rescued when we float to a place where there are people."

Although Song Shuyao, who was born into a scholarly family, has already gotten rid of her self-righteous and aloof attitude of being "out of touch with the world".

At the same time, she also accurately felt the arrival of a life-and-death crisis.

At this moment, Song Shuyao felt that this was better than staying here and waiting to die.

Going out to sea is the action that gives you and your group the highest chance of survival.

Chapter 26: A straight route at first glance...

"Can we talk about this later?" Zhou Fang thought about it a lot. Finally, she looked at the student who was very obedient in the first few days but gradually became disobedient. She said, "For now, it's not that urgent, so let's discuss it later?"

Song Shuyao pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.

During the dozens of days of getting along, she gradually realized that the head teacher, whom she originally relied on, would always give priority to safety in his or her behavior.

To put it simply, Zhou Fang considers everything based on the concept that "she and her students are safe at the moment, and everything will be fine in the next second."

Even on his last expedition to the west, he refused to allow anyone to follow him and set out alone.

Song Shuyao was very touched that Zhou Fang had such a responsible attitude towards herself and others.

But as they spent more time together, she realized very clearly that this responsible attitude was not suitable for use on a deserted island.

So at the moment, Song Shuyao was somewhat reluctant to follow Zhou Fang's advice.

Because she knew that her suggestion to go out to sea was 100% an adventurous act that needed to be denied in Zhou Fang's mind.

"Yes, Miss Song Shuyao, it is too dangerous to go out to sea." On the other side of Song Shuyao, Gu Xixi also persuaded softly: "Food is not too scarce now. We can survive for a long time just by eating the remaining fruits on the trees."

While speaking, the Gu family maid roughly counted the fruits nearby with her eyes.

She didn't know the exact area of ​​the entire fruit forest.

But after making an estimate, Gu Xixi said to Song Shuyao again: "In the surrounding area, I saw at least more than a hundred egg yolk fruits and a lot of snake skin fruits. We can still hold on!"
