Chapter 25 Gooseneck Barnacles
Chen Yang had no experience in building wooden houses before, and everything was learned and used on the fly. He was flipping through books while learning how to build them.
Step 1: Make a wooden ladder.
Saw two small trees as thick as a bowl to make wooden ladders.
Step 2: Select materials.
Looking for some straight trees to make the box structure of the wooden house, there were eight in total, with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters. Chen Yang was holding a marker and selected them in the fir forest. When he found the right one, he drew an X directly.
To be honest, it is really difficult to find these small trees in this fir forest. Because no one has been here, the trees grow very well, most of them are directly over fifty, and some are even more exaggerated, and neither Chen Yang can hold them.
The material is very important. The book says that building wooden houses in the wild must be within your ability. Trees that are too big will be difficult to move.
Step 3: Saw the tree.
Does the book teach him the skills of sawing trees? First, saw half of the tree first, and after the big tree has an inclined direction, then start sawing from the other side, so that people will not be hit by the tree.
Step 4: Cutting.
After sawing down four fir trees, Chen Yang took out a rice ruler and measured them, and saw them all into three meters long. Because the wooden house that Chen Yang wanted to build was about two and a half meters high, the reason why it was sawed into three meters was because half of the meter was buried in the soil to fix the house.
......
It took Chen Yang a lot of effort to drag the sawed fir trees to the edge of the cliff. However, Chen Yang looked at him too highly and dragged two of them, and he was overdrawn. He was as tired as a dead dog.
Chen Yang drank a bottle of Red Bull.
Continue to fight.
It took another hour and a half, and his body was covered in sweat and his hands were worn out, so he dragged the first batch of fir back to the cliff shelter. Chen Yang, who was born in an ordinary family, can guarantee that this was definitely the hardest time he had since childhood.
Step 5: Skin.
The wood used to build a wooden house is usually peeled. Chen Yang picked up the modified peeling chainsaw and removed the bark bit by bit. When he peeled it to the end, Chen Yang felt his hands shaking.
Step 6: Roast the fire.
The wood with the bark is peeled, and the other end with a larger head must be roasted with fire. After all, it must be buried in the soil. Baking with fire can not only prevent insect damage, but also prevent mold. Chen Yang created a small fire and roasted four wooden piles respectively.
Step 7: Dig a hole and set up a pile.
Next, Chen Yang used a shovel and dug four and a half meters deep holes at the selected construction site, buried four fir trees in each, stirred some sea sand with the remaining cement, and watered them. The book mentioned it specifically.
The initial settling rate of concrete mixed with seawater and sea sand will accelerate, but seawater contains sulfates, magnesium salts and chlorides, which have a erosion effect on concrete and will also cause rust on steel bars. It is not suitable for mixing reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete.
However, what Chen Yang wanted was these effects. His concrete was not placed in steel bars and was buried in the soil. He was not afraid of being corroded. On the contrary, he still hoped that the condensation speed would be faster. As for the concrete expansion caused by sulfate erosion, it was also what Chen Yang wanted. He might be able to bite the wooden stakes buried in the soil like expansion screws.
After doing this.
Chen Yang was lying on the ground like a dead dog.
At this time, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and his wooden house project had completed the most basic first few steps. If he followed the book, he would have about fifty steps not completed.
Chen Yang had such a moment.
I really want to give up.
It was too difficult to build a wooden house, and his ability to do it was so weak. Even if he was wearing gloves, he would grind three blisters with his palms, and when he touched it, he would scream.
Next.
Chen Yang went to the reef next to him and looked towards the sea, solving a very important problem in life, and thinking about life by the way.
Is it necessary for my own life to be so hard?
After two or three months of storage space, it will be easier to transport an integrated house directly to the store. At that time, you will be equipped with an integrated toilet, generator set, a bed, and buy a projector. At that time, you can use the wool film to make it louder.
Another Chen Yang who can pay attention to details.
He vaguely sensed the danger of this island, and he was unwilling to spend two or three months on adventures. Building a wooden house should be the best solution at the moment. Although it was a little hard, no one was suffering.
Jack Ma, who regretted creating Alibaba, was rejected in the early days and regarded as a lunatic. If he had chosen to give up in the most difficult time, he would not have the Alibaba empire today, and he would not even regret the founding of Alibaba.
Is it the comfort of boiling frogs in warm water or the down-to-earth step by step? In the end, it depends on your own choice. When facing such a small setback, you choose to give up and you will not be able to withstand greater setbacks and pressure in the future. Rather than building a wooden house, it is better to say that this is a spiritual cultivation.
Chen Yang brainstormed himself.
By the way, I had some mental hypnosis.
Go to your uncle.
If you don't try, how can you know if I can do it?
Chen Yang lifted his pants and was about to do a big fight, but before doing it, he had to replenish his energy first. Chen Yang fell into deep thoughts about what to eat today.
Pipi shrimp, grilled fish, lobster or abalone, Chen Yang made a lot of lists in his head, and there was too much food on the island, which caused him to fall into choice difficulties.
It was not until its eyes noticed a seafood near the reef that it finally confirmed that it was a very ugly seafood called "the delicacy from hell". Its body was like a small and obese earthworm, with shells on its head, and a whole piece was densely packed, giving people a super disgusting feeling.
Although it's disgusting.
But Chen Yang's eyes were radiating.
It is a goose-neck barnacle, a super high-end seafood dish, and the taste is very delicious. Although Chen Yang has also sold barnacles, they are not authentic goose-neck barnacles. The kind he sells is called turtle feet, which is the same as goose-neck barnacles, but they don't look that much like it.
The head of the "turtle foot" is wrapped by eight sharp shell plates. The muscles on the handle are very developed. There are rough "scales" on the outside that look like the claws of a turtle, so they can be named turtle foot. Of course, there are many names, such as dog claws, stone eels, Guanyin Palm, etc. There is also a more poetic name among the people, called it a pen holder.
Because its head looks like.
Just like a pen holder.
But the one Chen Yang discovered today is still significantly different from the turtle foot, because it looks really like a goose neck and is more expensive. The turtle foot can generally be sold for 200 yuan per catty, while the price of goose neck barnacles doubles.
I decided that it is the foodie meal today.
Chen Yang ran excitedly to the reef where the waves were swaying, and stepped on these delicious foods on earth. Just as Chen Yang's broken palm touched the sea water, he almost made him ascend to the immortals directly.
For a delicate foodie.
