After watching TV for a while, it was already 10 p.m. Jiang Yue put away her tablet. She had to get up early the next day. Although she didn't know if her parents had come home from get off work yet, she still said goodnight to them.
Having stayed here for half a month, Jiang Yue came out of the tent at six o'clock in the morning and started getting dressed to go on patrol: "Brothers, it's 6:30 in the morning. Look at the gloomy weather. I plan to speed up the mountain. If things don't look good, I'll have to go to the cabin to hide."
"Alright, let's go!"
It took Jiang Yue an hour and a half to walk back and forth. When she got to the platform, it had started to drizzle. Jiang Yue packed her things up. Since the wind wasn't strong, she planned to wait and move them if the rain got heavier. After packing her things, Jiang Yue brought over the portable gas stove. Today's breakfast was very healthy: a tomato, a glass of milk, an egg, and a buckwheat bun.
After eating, there was nothing to do. That's how this job is. If it rains, you can only stay in the tent. Jiang Yue wasn't that into fishing, and she was too lazy to go out on rainy days. She would watch some dramas and read some books until noon. It was lunchtime again. Yesterday, while organizing the supplies, she found a piece of rice cake, so Jiang Yue decided to stir-fry it.
Stir-fried rice cakes weren't difficult and were ready in no time. After lunch, the rain gradually stopped in the afternoon. After the rain stopped, Jiang Yue planned to go fishing for a while, but the waves were too big, so she gave up. Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to review the textbooks she had brought with her. What if she wanted to work in this industry after participating in the career challenge? She needed to find a reasonable reason to improve her skills.
Although it wasn't raining during the afternoon patrol, the wind was still quite strong. Jiang Yue arrived an hour earlier than usual because she thought the wind would be even stronger at night, so it would be safer to go up earlier. After reaching the top of the mountain, she looked around and saw only the boundless ocean. She didn't see a single ship. After surveying the surroundings, she went down the mountain.
Back on the platform, a strong wind picked up, and waves crashed in. If the waves got too big, Jiang Yue's tent would be flooded. Jiang Yue was wondering whether to pack up and go to the cabin. He checked the time, it was 7 p.m., and decided to wait another hour to see how big the waves were: "Brothers, let's wait another hour and see. If the waves get bigger, we'll go up the mountain. If they don't change or get smaller, we won't bother."
"Let's cook a meal in this hour. We'll have more energy to move if we're full. A lot of vegetables were delivered this time. I kept some onions and potatoes. How about stir-fried potato slices with Lao Gan Ma chili sauce and onions? Potatoes and onions are quite heavy. It's better to eat them than carry them up the mountain."
"I've decided on him. Let's peel the potatoes first. Oh crap, I forgot to buy a peeler. Luckily we have a knife. Using a knife would be a bit more troublesome, but it's not safe. I remember I brought a spoon, so I'll have to use that instead."
"I'll try using a spoon. Hmm... it's not too bad. It's a bit troublesome, but it's safe. Using a knife looks unsafe, but it's actually not safe at all. If you're not a professional, just choose a spoon like me. If you scratch your hand with a spoon, it will only hurt for a moment."
"It's a pity there's no pork. It would be great if we added some meat. Oh, I remember there was a small bag of cured meat. Let me look for it."
"Found it! Since we have cured pork, we won't use Lao Gan Ma chili sauce. Cured pork, potato slices, and onions stir-fried together! This must be a new dish, I've never had it before! Let's boil the cured pork first."
"Alright, the cured pork is cooked and sliced into thick slices. Then heat oil in a wok, add the cured pork and stir-fry briefly. Add chopped chili peppers and garlic slices. Then add potato slices, and finally shredded onions. Done!"
"A delicious dish is ready, but unfortunately you won't have the chance to taste it!"
Jiang Yue picked up a piece of cured pork and a slice of potato, and showed it to everyone on camera: "I don't know how the dishes will taste today, so I won't offer them to you. Although they smell delicious, what if they don't taste good? Okay, that's all for now, let's eat."
To be honest, it tasted great, and the three ingredients went very well together. Jiang Yue was so engrossed in eating that she forgot she was still livestreaming and didn't even care about her image. Viewers in the livestream who knew Jiang Yue well also pointed out the truth:
"I dare say this dish is absolutely delicious. This little ginger, when he cooks something not very good, he likes to chat with us while we eat, but when he finds something delicious, he forgets about us. Isn't that the same when we eat chicken stew with mushrooms?!"
"Upstairs, I believe you. Those who don't believe me can go check out Xiao Jiang's video. @Xiao Jiang, sister of contestant number 58 from 'Professional Challenge'"
"Haha, luckily I was smart enough to cook along with her while she was cooking, and we're eating now! It tastes absolutely amazing."
"My wife is amazing, she knows so many dishes... but since she married me, I feel bad having to do all the cooking."
"The person upstairs has had another attack of their illness. Whoever ran away from the hospital, take them back immediately."
......
"Brothers, we've finished eating and packed up our things. But as you can see, the waves have subsided a lot. We probably won't have to move today. But we can't be careless. Let's hang up our packed things for now, just in case they come back tonight."
"Since I've been idle anyway, and it's been a while since I sang, I'll sing a song for everyone. As usual, I'll sing whatever comes up randomly."
"Hmm, it's a very familiar melody. I already know what song it is."
Please allow me to settle down and bury the past in silence.
"I came from the sea, weathered by storms, only to find myself in this desert."
......
"Ah, does that person only exist in dreams?"
Why did I use all my strength, only to be left with half a lifetime of memories?
"If you didn't yearn for my eyes, if I hadn't sought solace for my heart..."
"Meeting amidst countless mountains, rivers, and seas of people~"
"Oh, so you're here too~"
......
"Alright, the song is over, that's all for today. I'm contestant number 58, Jiang Yue. Thank you for watching. If you enjoyed it, please follow me. See you tomorrow."
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she turned off the filming equipment. The comments were still flooding in. They knew that Jiang Yue couldn't see the comments, and they were all tagging the production team to upgrade the equipment as soon as possible. Other contestants could watch their own live streams and see the comments, so why couldn't she? It's 2050 and she can't even see a single comment. Do you think this is appropriate?
After entering the tent, Jiang Yue packed her power bank, tablet, and other items into her backpack to save time if she needed to run around in the middle of the night. After packing her things, she went to sleep. Now she doesn't need to wear earplugs anymore, and after living here for almost 20 days, she has gotten used to the noise.
