He brought Little Blue and Little Black to the beach.
Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh. This system really knew how to do things. He had just come out and encountered something.
A package lay quietly on the beach.
"Ye Qing, look, there seems to be something over there.”Zhao Ling shouted excitedly and ran over.
This was exactly the effect Ye Qing wanted. He was secretly laughing in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a very excited expression as he followed Zhao Ling and ran over.
"Wow…so many…"
Zhao Ling was already incoherent. When Ye Qing arrived, he found that she was unwrapping the package. A bag of rice appeared in front of them.
This bag of rice was at least 50 kilograms. It seemed that the system was really generous with food.
"Hehe, looks like your luck is pretty good. You picked up something as soon as you came out.”Ye Qing complimented him from behind.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes…"
While they were talking, Ye Qing noticed a package on the beach not far away. He immediately pointed at it and said,""Hey, look over there. Is there something else?”
"Where, where?"
Zhao Ling shouted and hurriedly ran over. After a while, she excitedly recruited Ye Qing.
In the end, with Zhao Ling's " hard work ", they finally gathered all the items that Ye Qing had exchanged for that night by the beach. They piled up like a small mountain.
Zhao Ling jumped and shouted at the small mountain, like a child who had discovered a candy house. She was so happy that she couldn't find the end, dancing on the beach.
Ye Qing, who was watching from behind, was also full of smiles. It seemed that this girl had indeed been too depressed during this period of time. Perhaps this was her nature.
After a long while, Zhao Ling's excitement finally subsided a little. She immediately frowned and said,"Ye Qing, do you think these things drifted over from the plane? Could it be that the wreckage of the plane was nearby?”
Ye Qing could not answer this question because the System in his mind was as mysterious as this island. He did not know if the System had picked these things from the plane.
"Maybe. Then, should we find some time to search the nearby area?"”
"Yes, yes." Zhao Ling nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice and said,"Maybe we can find someone else."
Ye Qing smiled. He was happy to see such an outcome. After all, there was also the reward of exploration. Even if there was no such thing, he would still find a reason to explore the surrounding area.
The two of them chatted for a while more, talking about something trivial. In the end, they called Little Black over to help move the things back.
The exploration was something to be done later. Right now, the two of them had more important things to do.
When they returned to the cave, Zhao Ling had already started to prepare breakfast impatiently.
After they had rice, the two of them expressed that they didn't want to eat only green crabs. They said that Zhao Ling began to fiddle with the big pot to cook rice. Then, she took the opportunity to pick up a few live seafood from the beach. She cooked soup and stir-fried them. She was very busy.
Of course, Ye Qing was not idle either. He touched and dug around the cave, and after a while, he finally appeared in front of Zhao Ling with a few stones in his arms.
All of these stones were in the shape of a plate and were about the size of a palm.
This was what they had discussed last night. Ye Qing was going to start making stone adzes.
Although the stone adze was the most primitive and simplest tool of mankind, there were still many things that needed to be paid attention to when making it.
The first was the selection of materials.
It was not just a random stone. It was best to find a stone with a certain shape, which could save a lot of grinding steps.
Next, he had to pay attention to the material and patterns of the stone.
Of course, the material had to be relatively hard. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time if it fell apart with a casual touch.
The lines on the stone were also very important. Ye Qing remembered that a philosopher had once proposed the idea of " marble with lines ". This idea was very interesting. The general idea was that the lines on the stone that could be used for carving actually had the appearance of a statue. The sculptor only used the lines to slightly process the stone to show the original appearance.
This might seem like a joke now, but in fact, the patterns of a stone played a key role in what a stone could become.
This was because stones were the crystallization of rock layers that had accumulated over countless years. To make a stone adze, the patterns needed to be especially tight, and the blade had to be in the direction of the patterns. This way, it would not break easily when it was under force.
Among the stones he brought back, only three met Ye Qing's criteria.
The next step was polishing.
Of course, ordinary stones could not reach the standard of stone adzes. What Ye Qing needed to do was to sharpen one of them.
Moreover, if he wanted to make a stone axe, he would need to forge the stone into a specific shape.
This was another meticulous job, and it was also very time-consuming.
Zhao Ling came over to call him for dinner. Ye Qing could only put down the work at hand and return to the cave.
It had to be said that Zhao Ling's culinary skills were really too good to be said. The fragrant rice had already been wrapped up by Zhao Ling with leaves and placed on the ground. Other than that, there were also three different dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted good.
There was also a pot of soup in the big iron pot beside him. In the true sense of the word, there were three dishes and one soup.
In fact, Ye Qing felt that there was no need to go through so much trouble. He just needed to eat a little.
However, Zhao Ling said that life sometimes had to have a sense of ritual. In order to celebrate picking up so many things today, they had to have a good meal.
Ye Qing had no way to refute this. Moreover, these dishes increased his appetite. He would not go against his stomach.
However, when he saw that more than half of the mineral water had already gone down, his heart began to tighten again. This time, there was no mineral water in the update of the mall, which meant that the items in the store were completely random. Although the water could last until the next update of the mall if used sparingly, no one knew if there would be any next time.
It seemed that finding a long-term freshwater source was really urgent.
Of course, it was also important to finish what he was doing.
After a hearty meal, Ye Qing returned to the cave and began to polish his stone adze.
Fortunately, the stones he chose were relatively thin, and the shape was closer to the finished product he wanted. Therefore, the originally time-consuming step only took him less than two hours to find three satisfactory stone adzes. One of them was even polished into the shape of an axe, which was used to make stone axes.
Now that he had finished making the stone adze, the next step was to test its power. Moreover, the handle of the stone axe also needed wood to be made, so he could complete it together.
Ye Qing picked a small piece of wood that was just the right size near the cave and began to work.
The tree was only half the size of a forearm, so it wasn't thick. Although the stone adze was the simplest tool, it was still very easy to cut down. Ye Qing was very satisfied with the results of his work. It was much faster than grinding it slowly with a military knife.
