Chapter 13: It seems like I’ve dreamed of signing in successfully and getting [Chinese Cabbage]*…
The rain pavilion is not even a pure wooden structure.
Bai Yu and Bai Xi both touched the smooth pillars. They couldn't believe that such a pavilion suddenly appeared in this place, and it looked so well built.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"It feels like a dream, but since I got the shell, many things seem like dreams," Bai Xi walked into the pavilion, touching this and looking there, then turned back to talk to Bai Yu, "Even if this is really a dream, I still feel happy."
The white rain is also touching every corner of the pavilion.
Although she couldn't believe it, as Bai Xi said, even if it was really a dream, so what? Even if it was just a dream to live such a good life, she felt as happy as Bai Xi.
After being happy, she thought she could ask for more: "It's a pity that this is a rain pavilion, and it leaks on all sides. If we build a house here, we can sleep in it."
"Yeah, it's a pity that we can't read." Bai Xi said, looking at Bai Miao.
Bai Miao nodded seriously: "I can't read."
Bai Yu listened to what her two sisters said and laughed: "Yes, it's a pity that you can't read."
So no matter what we get, it’s fine, even Yuting will do.
Bai Yu looked around and gestured, saying, "Now that we have this rain pavilion, we don't have to bother building a firewood shed. We'll go to the Planar Forest and find some slender branches. Then we'll wrap them around the rain pavilion with vines and tie them together. Then we'll hang them around the pavilion. This will then become a place that won't get rained on, perfect for storing firewood."
This is much easier than building a woodshed with bare hands.
Bai Yu discussed it with Bai Xi and started to work immediately. They quickly took Bai Miao to the plane forest again, brought back a batch of slender branches, and then sat in the rain pavilion to wrap the curtains.
There happened to be a protruding corner on each side of the rain pavilion, so the two of them quickly wrapped a curtain, moved a large stone over, stepped on the stone, and wrapped the wooden curtain with vines. In this way, a curtain that could keep out wind and rain was made.
The remaining three places followed suit, also using thin and long branches to make curtains and hang them up.
They didn't have much to do on the island anyway, so they spent the whole day on this. Soon, the rain pavilion, which was leaky on all sides, was transformed into a woodshed for storing firewood.
As for the thick wooden strips that they had brought in early in the morning, they smashed them into pieces with sharp stones and temporarily stored them in the "woodshed" to prevent them from getting wet by rain.
While the two were busy, Bai Miao helped for a while, and then was sent away to play on his own.
After the thick wooden strips were stored in the rain pavilion, Bai Xi went to the boat to get something. Bai Yu looked at Bai Miao, who was squatting not far away and scratching the ground with a branch. He walked over and bent down to talk to her: "What are you drawing?"
Bai Miao squatted and moved to the side, pointing at the words on the ground and looking up to show off: "I can write my elder sister's name."
"My name?" Bai Yu asked in confusion.
"Yes," Bai Miao pointed to the words on the ground, "Bai, Yu, this is my eldest sister's name."
"How can you write my eldest sister's name?" Bai Yu squatted down in surprise. She could also write "Bai". After all, this character was simple and everyone in the Bai family could write it, but she didn't know the character "Yu".
"Yuting." Bai Miao pointed to the pavilion behind him, which was almost unrecognizable from its original appearance.
Bai Yu turned around and didn't see any words on the pavilion. Suddenly, she was shocked: "Miaomiao, do you still remember the two words on the card?"
"Yeah," Bai Miao nodded and repeated, "Yuting."
"Then... can you write the word 'ting'?" Bai Yu asked again.
Bai Miao held the branch in his hand and wrote the word "Pavilion" on the empty space next to it.
Bai Yu couldn't tell whether what she wrote was correct, but she vaguely remembered the appearance of the two words on the card, and they seemed to be no different from the two words written by her younger sister.
But it didn't take long for the construction card to appear and disappear, and she had gradually forgotten the words on it. Unexpectedly, her younger sister remembered them completely.
She should be happy that her little sister is so smart, but now they are on the island... Even if they are not on the island, it seems that she is just smarter.
Bai Xi came up with the things and listened to Bai Yu's explanation of the whole process. He looked at the words on the ground and happily picked up Bai Miao. "Miao Miao, you are so smart. You can even write your big sister's name. When words appear on the cards next time, can you see if there is my name and write it down for me too?"
"Okay," Bai Miao nodded seriously, "You have to remember Second Sister's handwriting too!"
Bai Yu got up and started a fire to cook.
While the rice was cooking, he sat by the side listening to Bai Xi and Bai Miao's laughter and talking. He didn't call Bai Miao over until he couldn't breathe from laughing. He patted Bai Miao's back while talking to Bai Xi.
"Did you take the soy sauce that was drawn earlier?"
"No, how are we going to eat the soy sauce?" Bai Xi had never eaten soy sauce before. "I heard people on the shore say that soy sauce can be used to cook dishes, but we don't have any dishes to cook with."
"Let's find a suitable place tomorrow and cast our nets. There must be plenty of fish and shrimp in the sea," Bai Yu comforted Bai Miao. "The ground should be dry by then. Let's walk around and see if we can find some drinkable water. There are trees here, so there should be water."
They didn't understand other things, but they all knew that sea water was not drinkable, so the water they drank on the boat was also pumped from the forest plane.
However, the time spent in the forest plane is limited. If you really want to stay here, you must find a water source on the island.
"Cook the fish with soy sauce?" Bai Xi swallowed, "I think it should be delicious."
"Let's just cook it and try it. It won't taste too bad," Bai Yu stirred the porridge in the pot. "Xiaoxi, add some salt. Cook it for a while and we'll be ready to eat."
Bai Xi opened the jar, took out the paper bag containing salt, opened the bag and carefully poured some salt into the pot.
Bai Miao nestled in Bai Yu's arms, watching Bai Xi's movements. He lowered his head and picked up the thing hanging around his neck. "Successful sign-in?"
Bai Xi poured the salt and immediately asked after hearing her say this: "By the way, is there still a chance to sign in today?"
When Bai Miao heard her ask this, he knew that he could move the shell, so he immediately grabbed the shell and pressed the button. Sure enough, there were still times that he had not signed in.
[Successful sign-in, get [Chinese Cabbage]*10]
The sound of the shell falling was heard, and ten cabbages rolled down from the air.
The cabbages were really big cabbages, and they were all quite large. With Bai Miao's size, it would be difficult for her to even hold one cabbage. Therefore, when these ten cabbages appeared, not to mention Bai Miao, even Bai Yu and Bai Xi couldn't help but exclaim "Wow" in amazement.
Coming back to his senses, Bai Xi picked up a large cabbage and stood it upright in front of Bai Miao: "Oh my god, this cabbage is bigger than Miao Miao even when it's shrunk down."
"I'll do it, I'll do it," Bai Miao immediately climbed up from Bai Yu's arms, walked to the side, bent his legs and hugged her, "Second sister, Bibi."
Bai Xi held the cabbage in front of her and placed it next to her: "Big sister, look, isn't Miaomiao smaller than this big cabbage?"
Bai Miao shrank his head and spoke in a muffled voice: "Sister, am I smaller than cabbage?"
"Yes, it's really smaller than a cabbage," Bai Yu said with a smile, stretching out his hand to compare, first comparing the height of the cabbage, then moving the hand next to Bai Miao, comparing the difference, and holding up two fingers, "It's such a big difference."
Bai Miao looked up and saw the width Bai Yu gestured, and was delighted: "Wow, I'm so much smaller than the cabbage."
Bai Xi hugged Bai Cai and shook her head: "Yes, you are still young."
Bai Miao nodded seriously: "I'm still young."
The three of them were chatting and laughing until Bai Yu discovered that the porridge had overflowed from the pot.
"Sister, add some water to the porridge and tear some cabbage leaves. We finally have some lettuce, so we can't just eat plain porridge."
"Okay, the cabbage will be cooked after blanching it," Bai Yu picked up the water bag and added water to the casserole, calling out to Bai Xi, "Tear off two cabbage leaves and rinse them with water, otherwise they will be covered with sand."
The cabbage is very big, and even if you only have two leaves, you can tear out a lot of pieces, enough for three people to eat.
Water was added to the casserole, and the boiling state was suppressed. After the cabbage leaves were thrown in, it slowly rolled again.
Before the pot overflowed again, the fire underneath gradually died down, and then Bai Yu used a spoon to scoop out bowls of cabbage porridge.
Even though only a little cabbage was added, the porridge still tasted very good, a little bit salty and a little bit of the umami flavor of the cabbage.
Bai Xi was not satisfied. While eating, he said, "I'm going to the internet cafe tomorrow. If I could add some fish and shrimp to this porridge, it would taste even better."
"Well, pickle some cabbage and salted fish."
It was a little chilly at the seaside, and a breeze blew by, blowing the ashes from the fire away.
Bai Yu turned around, and a gust of wind blew towards her, making her hair fly wildly. She tried hard but still couldn't open her eyes. She turned back and blocked the stove: "When we cook tomorrow, let's move the stove to the side of the rain pavilion to block the wind. Otherwise, when we cook, the wind will blow and sparks will fly everywhere, which is not good."
Bai Xi had a different idea: "If we put the firewood over at the rain pavilion, wouldn't it be even worse if sparks flew everywhere? It's better to do it here. There's nothing to burn around, and the sparks will be blown out by the wind and won't reach the woods."
Bai Yu turned around again and felt the whistling wind.
"Then let's build a bigger stone stove. The wind is so strong that it blows directly towards us, and the fire will be too strong and waste firewood."
Bai Xi also felt the strong wind at the moment.
After looking around, he pointed to a slightly concave place not far away and said, "Big sister, there, just stack it around the edge and it will be fine. The wind won't blow it away."
"That's fine," Bai Yu nodded, then suddenly shuddered. "Let's go over there with the casserole now. The wind is too strong."
Bai Xi nodded repeatedly.
Not long after, the three of them moved their meal to a recessed area. Although there was still wind, it was not as strong as before, allowing them to have a good meal.
Bai Miao lowered his head and was trying hard to press the shell.
"There are no sign-ins today. What does Miaomiao want?"
Bai Miao's hair was blown away by the wind, covering his face. He spoke with great effort: "Shell, bah bah... let the wind go away... bah..."
"It's okay, we'll hide from it." Bai Yu reached out to tidy up Bai Miao's hair. After combing it, he untied the hair tie and tied it again. "Is there no wind now?"
Without the hair on his face, Bai Miao felt good. He stopped fighting with the shell and put it down, his hands falling obediently at his sides: "Okay."
