Eating cold food for a long time is bad for your stomach and can easily lead to stomach problems.
It's a little better now that the weather is hot, but it's even more irritating to the stomach in winter.
Feng Ye wondered if he should buy a coal stove and put it on the boat so he could heat up the food.
These days, portable gas stoves haven't been invented yet; domestically produced induction cookers are of unstable quality, and foreign ones are unavailable and not cost-effective; gas stoves are an option, but there are no gas stations on Baishi Island, making refilling inconvenient; the only thing suitable for cooking on a boat is a coal stove.
If you have a coal stove, you only need to bring your own food; the vegetables can be caught and cooked fresh at sea.
All you need is a pot and some seasonings. You can cook whatever you like – fish, shrimp, crab, etc. – how wonderful!
Thinking of this, Feng Ye suddenly felt that the cold food in his hands tasted like cardboard and had no aroma at all, but he still had to eat it, otherwise how could he work on an empty stomach?
After the three finished their meal, they put away their lunchboxes, lit a cigarette, and puffed away in the driver's seat.
"Brother, Ah-Can, what do you think about us buying a coal stove?"
Feng Ye took a drag of his cigarette and looked at the two of them, asking a question.
The coal stove is for use on the ship, so naturally everyone has to contribute money, which requires everyone's agreement.
This isn't about how much money there is; public and private matters must be clearly distinguished.
"A coal stove?" Feng Xuan looked at Feng Ye with a puzzled expression. "Why would you buy one?"
“Cooking on the ship is bad for your stomach if you always eat cold food,” Feng Ye explained. “With a coal stove, we can have a hot meal at sea, and we can cook whatever we want, which is so convenient.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Xuan's heart stirred. He hadn't considered this issue before, only thinking about how to catch more fish and make more money.
But now that I think about it, quality of life is also very important.
Working at sea for long periods of time, how can one's body withstand it if even meals are not provided properly?
"That's a good idea."
Ah-chan eagerly raised his hand in agreement.
"Alright, let's go back and ask Dad and Uncle Ling which one of them will be going to town soon, and ask them to bring one for us."
Feng Xuan agreed.
Ah-Can thought for a moment and said, "If all else fails, we can take a boat to buy it."
"We'll go back and ask, then we'll talk about it. Now, let's get to work."
Feng Ye tossed the cigarette butt aside and got out of the driver's seat.
