Chapter 109
When Shen Xing’s breathing calmed down, he realized that he was the only boat nearby. It was too dark to see far away, and he couldn’t see where the other boats had gone. He rowed the boat back to the shore of the island where he had docked before, and then he realized that even Yan Sihai, who was not involved in their activities, was not here.
He kicked Tan Sanzhuo who was lying on the floating board and cursed him. Shen Xing ignored the dying Tan Sanzhuo and his wife and left them on the deck to fend for themselves.
It was cold in winter, and he thought that in this situation, the two would disappear before dawn.
But he obviously underestimated these two people. They had catapults on their boats, and they were always tough when they met someone they wanted, because these two people were confident.
Shen Xing, who had already gone back to the cabin to sleep, had no idea that Tan Sanzhuo, who was lying on the deck outside, had spit out a razor blade from his mouth. His wife tried to move her body and moved her hands tied behind her back to his mouth. The two worked together and soon the ropes on his wife's hands were untied.
Soon the ropes on both of them were untied. Tan Sanzhuo asked his wife to take out Panax notoginseng powder from her small leather bag and drink it mixed with cold water. After resting for a while, the two of them took out their knives and tiptoed into the cabin.
Replace Shen Xing. Shen Xing never thought that because he accidentally revealed his irritable and greedy nature, his temporary ally abandoned him and left him. Because he underestimated the choker, he brought disaster upon himself.
When Qiao Sheng woke up, she was still a little confused. She was the only one left in the warm room. This kind of segmented sleep did not make her feel refreshed after waking up. She still felt very tired.
She got up and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up. When she left the warm room, she saw the four smart animals in the house entertaining themselves.
It seems that they are not just entertaining themselves, but the Snowy Owl and the Arctic Fox are using the cassock cub and Shuanzhu to entertain themselves. I don't know where they found a piece of coal. The Snowy Owl and the Arctic Fox take turns to push it out, and the cassock cub and Shuanzhu chase it out like puppies and pick it up. Qiao Sheng stood in the cabin and watched for ten minutes. The four of them were enjoying it.
After washing up, Qiao Sheng went to the first floor first. The drive equipment had stopped, and the charcoal in the boiler had been burned out. At this moment, their boat was drifting with the wind, and the troughs in the livestock area were filled. It was estimated that Li Mu came to fill it in the morning.
After searching the first floor, I didn't see anyone. Finally, I found him in the planting area on the third floor. He was making planting pots. Originally, there were only a dozen planting pots in the three-story cabin. Now, with his clanging, he has put 40 planting pots. He also left a distance between every two planting pots to facilitate planting and collection. It's very user-friendly.
It's a pity that it's winter now. The only crops that can be planted on the ship are winter barley, snow red and Arctic cotton. Others have to rely on the kang in the greenhouse to grow.
Qiao Sheng casually collected the dried fish on the drying racks next to him, and took the fish that had been cleaned and hung them up to continue drying. The fish in the food box are now divided into three types: fresh fish, frozen fish, and dried fish.
Li Mu made breakfast. After learning, Teacher Li's breakfast making skills have made a qualitative leap, but it is still limited to semi-finished products. He made soup wontons for himself and Qiao Sheng, and threw eggs in them, because Qiao Sheng taught him that after adding the preserved vegetables, just use chopsticks to add a little salt, and the taste is quite good.
Today's staple food is not roasted corn and sweet potatoes, but fried fruits. It can be seen that it is Lin Haiyang's craftsmanship. I don't know when the two of them made a private deal.
Before they ate, Li Mu prepared breakfast for the four animals on the second floor, again three meat dishes and one vegetable dish. When the iron basin sounded, the four animals stopped throwing coal balls and sat on the bamboo beds in a row, waiting for the meal.
While eating breakfast, Qiao Sheng asked if Tan Sanzhuo would be killed, after all, the young man looked very fierce in beating him yesterday.
Li Mu said no, the couple looked not simple, they might not die so easily.
But these people were far away from them now, they would talk about it when they met them in the future, now they still had to strengthen themselves fundamentally, they had to set up artillery and catapults, the most fundamental thing was to shock the enemy from the outside.
However, these hardware settings require too many supplies. Qiao Sheng and Li Mu squatted in front of the storage box and worried. They asked themselves if they really worked hard when collecting supplies, but it was far from what they needed. The amount
of rare metals and iron products required for a cannon is outrageous, but considering its power, it seems reasonable to have more. After all, this thing is definitely the big brother in front of the catapult.
The catapult can smash a hole in the ship, but it can only make a pit when it encounters their reinforced ship. However, the cannon is different. The reinforced ship will be half destroyed by one shot.
In the current situation, the only way for them to obtain supplies is to exchange fish, exchange fish for iron products, and exchange fish for rare metals. Although these things are not easy to obtain, compared with starving to death, some people are still willing to exchange them.
Wearing the fish bone bracelet, Li Mu started fishing again. Qiao Sheng moved a small stool and sat beside him to help remove the entrails. If possible, they didn't want to waste their efforts. In the current situation, it was too conspicuous to take fresh fish out to exchange for supplies. Other players couldn't catch them, but they could catch them, which made it easy for people to target them.
So their current work flow was to catch the fish, remove the entrails, take them outdoors for quick freezing, and then put them on the trading system to exchange for supplies.
The two of them were so busy all day. When they had dinner, all four of their hands were frozen red. When they suddenly entered the greenhouse, their hands were red and itchy. They had to stop after eating a few bites with chopsticks and rub them with their two hands to relieve the itching.
"If we keep doing this, will we get frostbite? We only have 20 carrots now. What are we going to do tomorrow?" Qiao Sheng sighed. This life is so tiring.
Li Mu was also worried. His fingers were like carrots, but it didn't matter. It was just that Qiao Sheng's hands looked terrible. He was thinking about whether he had seen the formula for making skin fat before.
"No, Li Mu, are we in a misunderstanding? Why do we have to fillet the fish? We can just throw them outside to freeze them after catching them, and let them fillet them themselves. We are not going to eat them ourselves, so we have to fillet them before freezing them." Qiao Sheng suddenly found a blind spot.
Li Mu was stunned by what she said. In fact, they had been doing this job for two or three days. Neither of them thought there was anything wrong with the previous operation. It was only after she said this that they realized that they were just looking for trouble.
The next day, they immediately adjusted the work flow and removed the fish-cutting step. One person was responsible for fishing, and the other was responsible for moving the fresh fish to the outside to freeze and then collect them. In this way, even the shipment volume increased.
Qiao Sheng suddenly had a lot less time. He opened the world channel and saw that it was all about discussing player No. 18.
[3421: Don’t you think it’s strange? Why does No. 18 have so many frozen fish? We can’t catch any fish, but he actually has so much stock! 】
【666: What? My god has foresight. This is obviously stored in advance when you can still fish. If you don’t want to exchange it, you can give it to others. There are many people who need these fish. 】
【769: What the two above said makes sense. Today I choose to exchange the iron products for a salmon. I want to eat sashimi. 】
【3421: 666 is such a brainless braggart. No matter how well he prepared, he couldn't possibly have saved so much. Fish in autumn are only fresh for three days, and they will rot before then. Starting in winter, the amount of fishing decreases every day. No matter how much he can catch, it is limited. Moreover, he only wants iron products and rare metals, so there must be a huge conspiracy.】
【34: The above poster has read too many conspiracy theories. How do you know that No. 18 is not a team? Maybe No. 18 is only responsible for exchanging in the trading system, while others are fishing diligently. Don't think that others are the same as you just because you are a lone wolf. 】
"It seems that since we can't catch fish and can't get supplies, the players are quite idle. As No. 18 who is at the center of the storm, I want to interview you. How does it feel to be a world-famous person?" Qiao Sheng clenched his fist and stretched it in front of Li Mu to act as a microphone for the interview.
Li Mu lowered his eyes to look at his hand that was still red and swollen like a carrot, raised his right hand to press her down and said: "I don't feel anything. I just hope that these players have enough inventory to support us to gather all the artillery and gunpowder. Now I have to go to exchange supplies, and it's your turn to fish."
Qiao Sheng resigned himself to his fate. He handed over the fish bone bracelet and fishing rod, supported his head and started fishing.
Li Mu placed orders in the trading system for everything he needed. Qiao Sheng, who was busy fishing, did not notice the chat that suddenly appeared in the world channel. They were all discussing why the 18th suddenly exchanged a lot of medicinal materials, and even exchanged for pearl shells.
What kind of operation is this? Everyone can understand iron products and rare metals, but why is the content of this order so big? Of course, some are happy and some are sad. Some players found that they could exchange the medicinal materials they had collected but had not used for a long time for food, and they were still very happy.
Li Mu did not expect that the players in this game were still very fierce. Dozens of orders for exchanging medicinal materials were all taken up in a short while.
When he took the herbs out of the trading system, he even made an excuse to go to the bow to get the frozen fish. Qiao Sheng looked at his back and felt strange. Normally, he would just go there directly. Why did he report it?
