Chapter 287 A Passerby in the World of Professional Challenges 7

"Alright brothers, we've packed everything, but we're not in a hurry to go down the mountain. Let's go to the top and finish today's patrol mission first, so we don't have to come back up later."

Jiang Yue put her backpack on the bunk bed and set off with her portable filming equipment. This thing was really inconvenient; they said the second generation was coming out soon during the previous testing, but she didn't know how long she would have to wait for it to be released.

Because the road was slippery from the rain, Jiang Yue walked a little slower. The scenery was still quite nice after the rain. The dust on the mountain had been washed away by the rain, and the grass was wet with water, reflecting the sunlight. It looked really beautiful from a distance. After reaching the top of the mountain, she looked around as usual, and it was as beautiful as ever.

After resting for a while, I went down the mountain. I was a little hungry since I hadn't eaten anything when I got up. When I got halfway up the mountain, I put on my backpack, blocked the door of the hut with stones to prevent it from being blown open by the wind, went to the warehouse to replenish my supplies, and then put on my backpack again and set off.

After working on the platform at the foot of the mountain for a while and restoring things to normal, Jiang Yue went to check the crab traps: "Let's go check the crab traps and see if we have any left!"

"Hey! Not bad luck! 1, 2, 3... 5 crabs! 5 crabs, guys!"

After untying the rope of the crab trap, Jiang Yue poured the crabs into the small bucket: "What a pity, only two of the five crabs are carrying eggs, one is too small, and the other two are medium-sized and edible. Okay, let's put the inedible ones back into the sea and see how the other crab trap goes."

After pulling up another crab trap, Jiang Yue looked at it and said, "This trap has fewer crabs than usual, only three. Let me see how many we can eat!"

"Hey! I'm lucky to have three big ones, and they're all edible. Hehe, I've struck gold."

"Wait a minute, I'll go get some mussels and snails, and extract the meat to make bait."

After preparing some bait, Jiang Yue put the crab trap down again, picked up the small bucket, and returned to the tent. She then took the filming equipment and pointed it at the bucket, saying, "I was originally planning to catch some fish to cook noodles with, but five crabs are enough. I'll skip that and fish at noon; we're starving."

After the crabs were cooked, Jiang Yue put the noodles in. To enhance the flavor, she also added an egg and a sausage. After turning off the heat, Jiang Yue showed it to everyone: "How is it? This looks much better than what I made yesterday, right? Doesn't it smell delicious? Don't you want to eat it? Alas, I can't eat it!"

"Dried noodles aren't as tasty as instant noodles. I'll eat instant noodles tomorrow. I'll eat dried noodles after I finish the instant noodles. I don't know who the target audience for dried noodles is."

After eating, Jiang Yue took care of her personal hygiene. It was a bit windy today, so she went into the tent to dry her hair. She said, "I've discovered something. Everything else here is fine, but taking a shower is really difficult. Although I brought a collapsible bath tub, where am I supposed to get water here? If all else fails, I'll have to wash with seawater and then rinse with fresh water."

After her hair dried, Jiang Yue took a chair and fishing rod to the beach. Just to be on the safe side, she went to find some real bait. If the fake bait didn't work, she could try the real bait.

Enjoying the gentle breeze and sunshine was quite pleasant. After casting her line a few times, Jiang Yue felt a fish bite: "Here it comes! It's on the hook! Let's see what kind of fish it is!"

"Huh~ what a small blackfish, let's keep it as bait."

For the next half hour, not a single fish was caught. Jiang Yue was a little speechless and decided to change locations. She took her chair and bucket and moved in a different direction, but her luck was still bad there. She didn't catch a single fish either. Jiang Yue packed up her things and prepared to go back: "I'm not fishing today. My luck is too bad. I'll go beachcombing when the tide goes out and pick up some things."

"Let's go dig for some oysters first. I found a treasure trove of oysters there before; they're huge."

He walked around with his camera equipment and came to a rocky outcrop: "As you can see, there are tons of them here, and they're all huge. In other places, you have to pick them out slowly, but here, you can just dig them up randomly."

"See this one? It's really fat! We specifically picked the big ones today!"

"Hehe, that was great. Okay, that's enough. Let's go find some mussels."

They dug up some more mussels; these were quite large, just the right size to eat. They grabbed a handful and filled a small bucket before heading back to the platform: "This is enough for a pot. We don't need to make too many at once, just enough for one meal, so we can eat fresh mussels every day."

"Then we went to check the crab traps, which had been there for several hours, to see if there was anything inside."

"Okay, the crab trap was pulled up smoothly without getting stuck. It doesn't feel like there's anything inside!"

"Sigh, there are three small crabs, only one of them is a bit bigger. Forget it, I won't eat it. Let's look at the other one."

"My luck isn't great. Looks like there won't be any crabs to eat today. I'll use that little fish as bait and make use of it."

"It's okay if we don't have crabs to eat. Let's go fishing for some fish. It's getting dark soon, so it should be easier to catch them."

Jiang Yue's hunch was right; she caught several blackheads in an hour. With those fish, she stopped. She still had a small piece of leftover cured meat to cook, and some garlic sprouts left from the vegetables she brought. She could have a hearty dinner today, but she had to finish her afternoon patrol before dinner. She would cook when she got back.

"Brothers, let's cook. First, prepare the fish. Okay, heat some oil in a pan and fry it. Add some chili, soy sauce, and salt. Then stew it until it's cooked."

"Let's wash the oysters and mussels first and set them aside. Once the fish is stewed, we can just steam them directly in the pot."

"Okay, then chop up the cured pork and the garlic sprouts, they'll be perfect together."

"Now that the vegetables are ready, let's cook some rice. Find the gas canister and the stove, rinse the rice, add water, and let's get started!"

After a while, the stewed fish was ready. Jiang Yue took the fish out and then steamed the oysters and mussels. It only took a few minutes to cook them. After that, she stir-fried the cured pork with garlic sprouts. By the time the three dishes were done, the rice was also cooked.

"Mom and Dad, Xuanxuan, come and see if it's delicious! I'll cook for you when I get home! Hehe!"

"Wait a minute, let me make a sauce first. It's very simple, just soy sauce and some wasabi."

"The food is plentiful today, it would be a shame not to have some drinks. The beer must be cold from fishing in the sea, let me get it over here."

After saying that, Jiang Yue ran to the edge of the platform, took the beer from the crab basket, rinsed it with water to be particular, and then sat down. She picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and said, "Come on, please have some first, fans!"

"Mmm, it smells delicious! The fish is very fresh, and the stir-fried cured pork with garlic sprouts is also very tasty! Come on! Let's toast everyone."

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Jiang Yue remembered to test the filming equipment:

I've thought of you 365 days a year, I can't sleep tonight, thinking of you is my everything~

Just as Jiang Yue finished singing two lines, the camera finally clicked smartly, adjusting the shooting angle and keeping up with the accompaniment in a timely manner. Jiang Yue held a beer, the sea breeze blowing through her hair, and the scene with the sunset and music looked very pleasant and comfortable.

"I imagine you on the beach where the evening breeze blows, I imagine your sudden, delightful appearance~"

I miss the image of you flying a kite, I miss the swing where you sway in the wind~

~

"Missing you on~"

"Missing you on~"
