The clam shell was enormous, and she also harvested a large quantity of clam meat, weighing as much as 12 kilograms.

Jiang An hadn't yet figured out what to do with the clam shell. It would take up too much space inside the house, and it wasn't worth putting in her backpack. In the end, she placed the large clam shell on the land in the planting area.

"Huh!" Jiang An exclaimed upon seeing the scene on the ground.

On the land that was originally covered by ice and snow, several green plants swayed in the cold wind.

These plants are not tall, but their leaves are a deep green, as if showing people the tenacity of life.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that several large fruits are growing at the base of these plants.

It turns out that not all the plants in this planting area were frozen to death; only these few juicy plants survived.

Jiang An excitedly stepped forward, carefully pulled the five mature ginger plants from the ground, and put them into his backpack. He also harvested 10 ginger seeds.

These five ginger plants were long past their maturity date, but fortunately, they were buried underground and transformed from young ginger into mature ginger, thus surviving the harsh weather.

The same goes for potatoes, but unfortunately, the land where the potatoes were grown was destroyed on the night the sharks attacked.

Jiang An planted five of the ginger seeds back into this ordinary piece of land; whether or not they would be harvested depended on luck.

This morning, Jiang An did not stay in the house for too long.

As soon as she got back to the cabin, she couldn't wait to get busy.

She took out the freshly harvested ginger, added a little brown sugar and other ingredients, and cooked a pot of steaming hot soup to dispel the cold.

She wanted to get rid of the cold in her body.

A warming soup made with old ginger is better than one made with fresh ginger.

This warming soup is no ordinary food; it's a medicinal recipe that Jiang An obtained after upgrading to a level two chef.

When she saw those old ginger plants laden with fruit today, she suddenly remembered this recipe. There was nothing more suitable for the current cold weather than this warming soup.

"Ding!" Just then, a crisp notification sound rang out, and Jiang An knew that a friend had sent a message. She quickly opened the chat window, and it turned out to be Tian Qing.

Tian Qing: "An Meizi, how's the situation at the bottom of the sea? I got a water-repelling bead today. Now I can only catch 3 treasure chests a day with a fishing rod. I'm also planning to explore the bottom of the sea to find more supplies."

After a moment's thought, Jiang An replied, "Sister Qing, the seabed is rich in resources, with countless fish and shellfish, but there are also large animals. This morning, when I dived to the seabed, I encountered a large swordfish, which was no less than the shark I encountered before."

"What? Besides sharks, there are other large fish? Oh no, I only dealt with the small shark, and I haven't dealt with the big one yet! If I go to the seabed, I'll be facing two large creatures..." Tian Qing felt a sense of retreat upon seeing Jiang An's reply.

Jiang An looked at the message Tian Qing sent and immediately realized that she was having second thoughts.

Although this was her choice, considering their usual friendship, she still said, "Sister Qing, animals have a sense of territory. I encountered a shark in the ocean before, but I didn't encounter any other large creatures in the area around it. Only after I killed the shark did swordfish appear in this area!"

Jiang An pondered for a moment, then sent another message: "Encountering the Water-Repelling Pearl is extremely lucky. I think the game's original intention was to let us explore the sea. Otherwise, three stone chests a day would not be enough for us to withstand this cold wave!"

"Girl, I accept your crush. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I will consider this matter carefully!" Tian Qing wasn't stupid. She understood immediately after Jiang An pointed it out. The continuous appearance of the water-repelling beads was intended to encourage players to explore the seabed. It was easy to imagine what would happen if they stayed on the raft out of fear.
