Chapter 282 Hamster Habits
When the sun rose to its highest point, I finally completed the fishing mission before noon.
This time, a total of 12 lively fresh fish were caught by me, and the number was almost enough for me to eat a week of full meal.
I used the ropes made from omnipotent agave fibers to string them into strings, so I walked home with a big fish gift bag. After waiting for it, the sun became more and more poisonous.
On this Gobi Desert, from noon to four o'clock in the afternoon, you must not act rashly outside. The dazzling sunlight covers this land without any difference like the heating of a microwave. All plants that grow proudly in the morning avoid the edge at this time, changing into a wilted appearance to avoid being dried.
The animals also returned to the caves, caves, and shaded places at the bottom of the trees. If they were not necessary, they would never hang out.
As a human with developed skin sweat glands, moving in this environment will cause a lot of sweating in the body's pores and lose a lot of water.
There are only two consequences at this time.
The first is to do sun protection and the skin is not exposed. In this case, a lot of sweating will occur due to the heat. A lot of sweating inside the body will cause dehydration, causing electrolyte disorders, which will directly lead to faint shock and even death.
Another way is that the sunscreen is not done well, which causes sunburn in the body and causes various discomforts. These discomforts are usually mild and can usually be relieved by themselves after one week, but it is still a kind of damage to the skin. Sunburn may cause symptoms such as general discomfort, nausea, and palpitations.
Not to mention problems such as heat edema, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, they can be collectively called heatstroke. Once it occurs, it is not a joke.
Therefore, in the afternoon, I usually take a nap to replenish my energy, or do some handmade and marinated food in the house. I will not go out again until the cool sea breeze returns to this land in the evening.
However, in this external environment, the room is obviously not too comfortable.
Hot wind often passes through the wooden wall without any scruples, pours into the house, turning the house into a huge steamer. Fortunately, when I designed the space, I used a double-layer structure, and the most external sun-exposed place, to make the entrance tavern hall, using the vast and empty room to reduce the penetration of hot wind.
Then, following the air duct, I would first pass through the narrow storage room, pass by the agave fruit and smoked salmon hanging in the room, and finally arrive in my bedroom. At this time, the overall temperature had dissipated a lot, almost like a cool wind of the hall.
Before this time, the wild horses at the door would try every means to run into my room, trying to leave a bit of shade. But I was ruthlessly blocked outside the door.
These horses never take a bath, and their hair is strong, which makes them smell very strong. This should be a way to resist mosquitoes and flies when they live in the wild.
If they feel itchy and need to be cleaned, they will run to the desert or beach like the real Shamatt nobles, choose the softest place in the sand, roll around on the spot, jumping in the abstract non-mainstream disco art, turning themselves into a sand sculpture and returning.
If I let them in at this time, then I will be a sculptor.
The bonfire at the door is still burning weakly to minimize the loss of wood. You can do anything else here, and wood must be used.
Every day, you need wood to make fires, wood to make furniture, wood to smoke and grill fish, and wood to make short bows and arrows, which are necessities for daily life.
I calculated the wood in the house and felt that it was necessary to do something... Well, I will definitely go find the wood next time!
Smoked fish must be made.
I dragged the dead fish ashore and walked to the bonfire to issue work orders.
"Select a job command: Make a barbecue."
After roasting a piece of fragrant salmon and sprinkling a touch of salt, I started my happy lunch time. The slightly burnt fish meat was filled with beautiful oil, and the mouth was full of fat. With a bite of fine salt, you can enjoy the fatty fish while reducing the fishy smell, which will maximize the quality of the ingredients.
But eating fish alone is a bit greasy. I usually roast a piece of freshly cut agave fruit on the fire and use a juicy and sugar-rich staple food to supplement the lack of this meal. After a little baking, the agave fruit becomes soft and sweet, and it will taste endlessly aftertaste after biting it. The taste is like exquisite cheese bread, giving people great satisfaction to their body and mind.
Desserts after meals are usually replaced by dates. There are still many dates on the tree, but I will only shake the overly mature dates and feed them to the horses, leaving them with insufficient color, allowing them to continue to grow on the tree and absorb the essence of the sun and moon.
The production of dates is very smooth. I have stored more than ten kilograms of dried dates, which can be used to satisfy my hunger at any time. Due to the sufficient light in the desert area and the large temperature difference between day and night, two-thirds of the dates are sugar, but the sugar in it is all fructose, just like glucose, which can easily be digested by the human body, so there is no need to worry about obesity.
Moreover, its taste is soft and glutinous, with thick flesh and sweet as honey. It is different from the fact that red dates have relatively thick fiber after drying. If you bring these back to the ore town, it will definitely become the main industry of the ranch!
What a pity...
I thought slowly that such a good thing could only enjoy it by myself.
I stuffed a date into my mouth, and I slowly savored the sweetness inside and felt the sleepiness gradually spread.
“I can’t sleep…”
I shook my head and tried my best to dispel the sleepiness in my mind. There was still a lot of fish that had not been smoked and I couldn't fall asleep just like that. In this kind of high temperature weather, if the fish was not processed in time, it would rot at an astonishing speed. When I woke up and wanted to work, I would only have a piece of rotten meat in my hand.
Dates supplement my sugar and carbohydrates, and fish supplement my protein. With these two main sources of food, they can keep them nutritious. When the agave is harvested, I have the supplement of cellulose and trace elements, which can help me stay healthy and struggle here.
The twelve salmon quickly turned into two large rows of smoked salmon hanging on the walls of the storage room, filling my slightly empty warehouse again.
The rest of the place I plan to leave for the agaves that will be harvested tomorrow. After the fruits harvested by these crops are peeled off, they are like a huge pineapple, cut into the middle of which is edible. That large agave field can harvest about thirty agave fruits, which will fill the other half of the warehouse in a dense manner.
This feeling of filling the granaries is really wonderful. Are humans born with the habit of hamsters?
No, it won't be a hamster. Because I have a bigger dream...
