“Okay. I’ll listen to you. Come and have a look at our home,” Jasper Milton said with a smile.
Hearing the word “home”, Ste Grace paused for a moment.
She had been eager to have a home, so when she heard that they were going to have a home, warmth surged in her heart.
Jasper took her hand and pulled her.
Ste saw their house.
Jasper had blocked the three sides with bamboo. The roof was also covered with bamboo, and the entrance was facing the sea. The bamboodder was ced at the very edge, and he had moved the stones to the bottom of the house. This way, even if it rained, they wouldn’t get drenched.
“I’ll use bamboo to make two doorster. When we are sleeping, we’ll be isted from our surroundings.” Jasper said thoughtfully.
“Let me do it. You should rest for the day.” Ste insisted.
He was reluctant to let her do the heavy work. “Why don’t we use the wooden board to rece the door today, and I’ll do the actual door tomorrow.”
“I’m not going to let you do it tomorrow. You’re going to do it when your blisters recover.” Ste corrected him.
“Fine.” Jasper nodded. “I think there will be more mosquitoes next month, but it doesn’t matter. We could definitely finish building the small house in a month.” Jasper had entered into a wife-loving maniac mode.
Ste frowned slightly.
Yes, a monthter, there should be more mosquitoes.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
However, at that time, she would be gone from this world. Jasper had to continue living, so she had to do more work now.
“Let’s go to the beach. It’s time to have dinner. After that, you could go there and see if there are any fish in the,” Ste said.
“Well, okay.” They went back to the beach, finished their dinner, and ate all the pork and bamboo shoots in the pot. Jasper went to the sea after that.
She dried the remaining fish in the sun to ensure that Jasper could continue to eat for a long time. In that case, even if no one passed by here, Jasper could still make a firm raft to leave.
She sat down and made a bag with arge fiber. She was very fast and it took her ten minutes to make one.
Jasper emerged from the sea but he seemed to be limping. Ste was so worried that she ran over. “What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”
Jasper smiled and said, “How could I get hurt? There are too many fish, shrimp, and crab, so it took me some time.”
Ste looked at the fishing in the water and saw a lot of fish.
Jasper handed the to Ste. “Hold the opening tightly.”
Ste clenched the opening tightly. Jasper picked up the stone, and Ste saw a lot of fish jumping violently in it.
“Do you think it’s around 50 kg?” Ste asked in surprise.
Jasper nodded. “Almost. I guess you’ll be busy today. I’ll help you kill the fishter since it won’t take much effort.”
“No, there’s lots of bacteria in seafood. Some parts of your skin is broken. There was once a scientist who was handling fish, his wounds got infected and he died. I’ll take care of the fish. We still have half of the ribs. You can continue to stew the ribs and bamboo shoots so we can eat them tomorrow.” Ste said firmly.
Jasper said helplessly, “I have been eating bamboo shoots stewed with ribs for the whole day. No matter how delicious it is, I’m getting a little bored of it. I’ll bring you along to get some wild vegetables tomorrow.”
“In that case, let’s spread out all the pork legs under the sun. Once you cut off all the fat on the pork and boil the oil, I will eat the rest of the ribs, the spine, the refined pork, and salt it. It won’t be bad even if you eat it for theing ten days.”
Jasper nodded. “Well, I’ll boil the oil.”
Ste finally felt at ease.
After cutting for a whole day, the kitchen knife had be a little blunt.
Ste brushed a handful of fine sand and put it on the stone. She sharpened the edge of the knife and killed the fish.
This fish belonged to a school obviously, but she didn’t knowwhat kind of fish it was. They were all about the same size. One of them was about eight or nine kilograms. Some of them were big and some were small, and a dozen of them were of a different species.
In order to speed the process up, Ste removed the head and the fish’s organs. She only kept the meat and its vesicles.
Fish vesicles were good stuff. After drying them, they would be the most natural type of gel. They could improve one’splexion and invigorate one’s body. They were especially good for women.
An hourter, she had already cleaned up all the fish and brought a bucket to Jasper.
He managed to boil the oil in half an hour and was helping to make the ropes. Seeing that Ste was frowning, he exined, “I used my fingers to make the ropes, not my palms.”
Ste sighed and sat next to him to pierce the fish. “It’s getting dark. What are we going to do with these fish? Will it be eaten by wild animals when we wake up? We’d better move more stones and hide them under.”
“That’s not necessary. Some of the bamboos on our roof are long and some of them short. I deliberately left them here to hang things.” Jasper exined.
Ste lowered her head and smiled.
Jasper was so attentive, he had thought of everything.
“Then I’ll make some frames with ropes or bamboo, so that I could put some ingredients on them.” Ste said.
“Don’t worry. There will be plenty of time in the future. By the way, isn’t the small bag that you knitted a little too thin? What are you using it for?” Jasper picked up the small bag that she had made on the ground and asked in confusion.
Ste blushed and grabbed the small bag from Jasper’s hand. She continued to put it on the big leaf and nced at Jasper. He was still waiting for her exnation.
“It’s… almost that time of the month. I’ve thought about it. It doesn’t have to be too thick. I have put smooth and fine leaves under them, so that they won’t leak. There will be charcoal ash in the middle, which can absorb water. If it’s dirty, I will throw it away.” Ste exined.
Jasper understood immediately. He cleared her throat and said, “Don’t go down to the sea today. The sea is cold. I wouldn’t mind even if you’re a little dirty.”
“I feel ufortable if I don’t take a bath,” Ste whispered.
“Then I will boil the sea water, and you can take a bath with the bamboo spoon…” Jasper paused for a moment. “I should build a bamboo house on the beach so that you can hide in it and take a bath. The sea breeze is too cold.”
“I’m not such a weakling. This is not something urgent. My period hasn’te yet. You can build it when your hands recover.”
“Then you should go to our house to wash up first. I will use the umbre to cover the side facing the sea. It should be able to withstand a lot of wind.” Jasper said.
Ste felt that he was more concerned about her than she was of herself. She smiled and said, “This is a good idea. I suddenly realised that our house is a two-story maiste.
Jasper was amused by her observation. “I’ll go and pick more leaves and dig out some charcoal ashester. I’ll make a few more tonight for contingency. You should teach me how to make the small bagter. I’ll make some for you.”
Ste blushed.
She really felt ufortable to ask Jasper, a dignified general, to help her prepare women’s supplies…
“There’s no need for that,” Ste refused.
“If you say that again, I will be angry.” Jasper said in a low voice and looked at her deeply.
Ste lowered her head. She did not refuse anymore.
