As soon as the transaction was completed, Gu Mian immediately opened the manufacturing panel to study the blueprints.
[Seawater Filter (Intermediate): Filters seawater, yielding 5000ml of purified water daily. Crafting materials required: 40 wood, 1 gauze, 10 charcoal. Craft now?]
"yes!"
[Insufficient materials; unable to produce.]
What???
Gu Mian clicked to check, completely bewildered, only to find that she didn't have a single gauze pad left...
No wonder it failed to be made.
She quickly opened the chat channel to collect gauze. Fortunately, there were relatively few people who needed gauze, so the trading price was not high. Gu Mian only used 9 boxes of yogurt to exchange for 30 pieces of gauze.
[Seawater Filter (Intermediate): Filters seawater, yielding 5000ml of purified water daily. Crafting materials required: 40 wood, 1 gauze, 10 charcoal. Craft now?]
"yes!"
Soon, a medium-sized seawater filter was completed.
[The seawater filter (intermediate) is complete. Please place it.]
Gu Mian didn't rush to put it away, mainly because there was no more space in the kitchen.
Moreover, with the intermediate filter, there's no need to keep the primary one.
The primary filters were directly exchanged for supplies; one was exchanged for a 20L wooden barrel blueprint, and the other for 5 ears of corn.
To be honest, she really wanted to eat grilled corn!
There was an extra filter blueprint, which Gu Mian replaced with a quilt blueprint.
[Cotton quilt: Soft, comfortable, and warm. Materials needed: 5 cotton cloth, 10 cotton balls, 1 sewing kit.]
After the kitchen space was cleared out, Gu Mian immediately placed the intermediate seawater filter there.
[Seawater filter (medium level) successfully installed. You can obtain 5L of purified water daily. Note: The charcoal filter cartridge can be used for 3 days; new charcoal needs to be added after 3 days!]
Gu Mian carried the wooden bucket to the raft, filled it with more than half a bucket of seawater, and then poured it into the filter's inlet.
Then, two 20L wooden buckets were made and placed at the water outlet. Soon, drops of filtered pure water slowly flowed down.
[System notification: You are using polluted seawater. This will accelerate the lifespan of the charcoal filter cartridge. New charcoal needs to be added in 1 day!]
Two intermediate filters can filter 10 liters of water per day, which is enough for her to take a shower once a day, no exaggeration.
Um……
While others are struggling to survive, it seems a bit too extravagant for me to shower with water every day…
It was completely dark when Gu Mian scratched her hair. Feeling that it was almost dry, she tied it up again.
With the iron pot in hand, she decided to cook a pot of rice for dinner. She hadn't eaten rice for several days and was really craving it.
Add a piece of wood to the stove to increase the burning time.
Gu Mian opened the rice bag, estimated that she had grabbed four handfuls of rice, put it in a small wooden bucket to wash it clean, then poured it into an iron pot, and added half a bottle of mineral water.
After finishing the preparations, Gu Mian realized that she didn't have a pot lid!
Speaking of which...
It should be able to cook through even without a lid, right?
After glancing uncertainly at the iron pot, Gu Mian decided to give it a try.
While the rice was cooking, Gu Mian was also busy.
She still has 5 space backpacks that she hasn't traded yet, so she should take advantage of the free time and exchange them for some blueprints as soon as possible.
The chat channel is always the liveliest at night, especially after the afternoon when the delivery fish was killed; those who survived had significantly more supplies.
"[Spicy Beef Jerky 200g] Here's my dinner for tonight."
Wow! You're eating so well!
"How about I trade you half a bottle of beef jerky for a bottle of water?"
"[Soy sauce 200ml] Anyone want this? I'll trade it for some food."
This is good; it'll come in handy when stir-frying.
Gu Mian opened the person's chat window and sent a message: "Half a steamed bun for soy sauce, do you have any other seasonings?"
Stranger: "Yes!"
Before Gu Mian could ask any further questions, the person quickly sent another message.
Stranger: "[200ml light soy sauce][30g pepper powder][200ml oyster sauce]"
Gu Mian: "I'll take them all. I'll give you two steamed buns in total."
Stranger: "Sure!"
Although the amount of seasoning was not much, it would last her a long time, even if she ate it all herself. Gu Mian was still very satisfied!
After completing the trade of seasonings, Gu Mian continued to monitor the chat channel, occasionally sending messages to request blueprints.
I don't know if it's because everyone keeps the good stuff for themselves, but all the blueprints I messaged her were for furniture, clothes, and the like.
Gu Mian was speechless!
Speechless as I am, I still have to collect what I need to collect, but these kinds of blueprints can only be traded for food.
One Apple-themed wardrobe blueprint.
One apple can be exchanged for a dining table blueprint.
One apple can be exchanged for the blueprints for a recliner.
One apple for a pillow design.
Two apples can be exchanged for patterns for a cotton-padded coat and trousers.
Two apples can be exchanged for 10 cotton seeds.
...
A bunch of random things were replaced, but the most practical ones were still the cotton seeds.
After working for half a day, the water in the iron pot had completely boiled away, and the glistening white rice grains emitted a fragrant aroma of cooked rice.
Gu Mian observed for a long time, and finally cautiously scooped out a spoonful and put it in her mouth, smacking her lips twice: "Hmm, it's cooked."
Of course, rice needs side dishes.
Taking out the remaining braised beef, Gu Mian ate it directly from the iron pot, taking a bite of rice and a bite of beef at a time.
Mmm...it smells so good!
Four handfuls of rice made about one bowl of rice, and with 500g of braised beef, it gave her an extra 40 points of satiety.
After dinner, Gu Mian ate a tomato as a dessert.
