Chapter 11

It’s not that I dislike these peppers. After all, Qiao Sheng had already saved the seeds inside, so that they can reproduce. Otherwise, they will have to eat seafood and meat every day, and they might get constipated at any time. There is no medicine to treat this place.

The kelp soup cooked very quickly. When Li Mu came to the table, he was still wondering why two kinds of soup were made. The key point was that the clay pot chicken soup had not been served yet.

"Chicken soup needs to be stewed for a longer time to taste good. Let’s drink kelp soup tonight. When the chicken soup is cooked, I will move the clay pot to your side and heat it up when you eat it." Qiao Sheng saw that he was staring at the clay pot and explained that they would be separated tomorrow. If possible, leave more cooked food for Li Mu.

After dinner, the two continued to work. Qiao Sheng started to add various hardware to Li Mu's float. A simple grill was a must. He also made more than a dozen medium-sized storage boxes for him to store and put out when needed.

There was nothing else he could do in front of a handicraft master. Li Mu kept moving things to Qiao Sheng, including various pots, bowls, and pans. In the end, he changed the raised stove into a two-stove stove at her request.

After that, they started the butchering work. The two of them cleaned up all the animals they hunted during the day. They wanted to throw away the dirty things, but Qiao Sheng felt a little reluctant to do so and squatted there to look at them for a long time.

"Leave some of these, chicken liver, chicken heart, chicken gizzard, pork liver is also delicious when fried, forget the large intestine, there is no flour to wash it, there is only a little sweet potato flour, I have to make oyster sauce later." Qiao Sheng stretched out her hand to pick up the dirt on the banana leaf.

"Haven't you chosen yet?" Li Mu went to collect a wave of planting pots, and listened to Qiao Sheng's change to pepper seeds. When she came back, she saw Qiao Sheng still studying the dirt, and there was only pork liver on the clean banana leaf next to it, so she asked her.

"The chicken gizzards are too small. I can't tell them apart." Qiao Sheng poked this and that, undecided: "Chicken heart, chicken liver and chicken gizzards. Oh, which one is the pig stomach? We can have that one too. It's a pity that we killed two wild boars yesterday. We forgot that we can eat the chicken gizzards."

Li Mu took out the chicken hearts and chicken livers as she requested, and picked out the pig stomachs as well. Then he was also in trouble: "What part is the chicken gizzard? Does it have a scientific name?"

"I seem to have seen it somewhere. It said it is used to store sand. What is that thing?" Qiao Sheng racked his brains to recall.

"I know, the chicken stomach is this." Li Mu picked out the gizzards and put them on the banana leaf that Qiao Sheng had put the viscera in. He packed up the rest and threw them into the toilet to refresh it quickly.

"You are amazing. You don't know what a chicken gizzard is, but you know what a chicken stomach is. How did you do it?" Qiao Sheng thought it was very fresh.

"I don't know what a chicken gizzard is because I rarely eat viscera. I know what a chicken stomach is because I have seen pictures of animal viscera." After explaining, Li Mu patrolled on two floats, ready to check for omissions and make up for the gaps.

Qiao Sheng set up a torch next to the stove, threw all the oyster meat in, added half a pot of fresh water, and started to boil.

When only one third of the oyster juice was left, I took out the raw oyster meat and put it in the coconut bowl. This can still be eaten, so don't waste it. I'll pack it up and let Li Mu take it away.

I took an empty bowl, put the dried sweet potato powder in it, added fresh water to dissolve the sweet potato powder, poured it into the pot and stirred it evenly, and continued to boil until the soup became thick, then added salt.

Turn off the heat after it is fully dissolved, and pour it into a glass bottle when it cools down a little and set it aside.

I found a plastic box and poured all the remaining sweet potato powder into it. The amount is not large, so I will give it to Li Mu later.

After doing all this, Qiao Sheng began to tidy up the things on the drying rack. He first put away the clothes that had been dried, and divided the kelp rolls that were almost dried into half, letting Li Mu hang them on his side of the rack. They would basically be dried and put away tomorrow.

"That's the good thing about games. If you want to dry something, it seems that you only need one day. If it were in real life, it would take several days to dry it." Qiao Sheng kept talking while working.

"Indeed, take a look at this kitchen knife. It just so happens that I collected rare metals today when I went to the sea. I saw that it was too inconvenient for you to cut vegetables with a machete before. This should be more convenient." Li Mu handed the kitchen knife over.

"This is good, much easier to cut than a machete. What is it made of?" Qiao Sheng took the kitchen knife and made a few gestures. It was indeed quite handy.

"Steel and wood. I just happened to pick up this diagram before. I can't make this thing by myself. This rare metal can't be melted into the desired shape." Li Mu said as he took the materials to make a water filter. It happened that he dug the materials from the sea in the morning, and now he has arranged everything.

This water filter is much better than the simple one on Qiao Sheng's float. The biggest feature is that it saves fuel and does not need to burn materials for filtering. It has a piece of glass on it, and Li Mu also deepened the water tank.

After explaining it to Qiao Sheng while installing it, she finally understood that the working principle of this thing actually relies on sunlight and does not require any fuel. The glass is installed at an angle, and the seawater vapor flows along the glass to the water tank on the other side.

"Is this water filter still solar-powered? Will it not work at night? It probably won't work on cloudy days either? But is this thing really reasonable?" Qiao Sheng stretched his head to watch him install it, and finally couldn't help but ask a question.

"Whether it is reasonable or not in reality is uncertain, but it can be realized in the game. By the way, remember to clean the sink and glass every once in a while. I don't need to tell you about collecting salt, you will understand it at a glance. The mud and sand dug out from the sea can be used to make glass in the future. You can try to make these without a diagram. Get a few more and work together on sunny days. Then put them in the water tank, and you can completely achieve fresh water freedom." Li Mu squatted on the float and installed it in a short while.

Qiao Sheng had been dividing the food he had collected before, while Li Mu tried his best to make more things to enrich the float for the two of them. He even saw Qiao Sheng using stones to grind sweet potato flour before, so he thought about moving the appropriate stone from the shore to the float.

Unfortunately, the stone that Qiao Sheng used before was a bit big. I don't know if it will affect the float if it is really carried on the float. For safety reasons, Li Mu decided to give up the big stone. He held a torch and searched for a long time before finding a stone that was not too big and was also smooth and concave on the shore.

As for the hand-held wooden stick used as a grinding wheel, he continued to use the one that Qiao Sheng made during the day.

It was already early morning when the two of them had completely divided the spoils. They didn't have time to clean up the wild boars brought back from the second hunt. They just simply split them in half. This was because Li Mu was afraid that it would be difficult for Qiao Sheng to cut the whole one, and it would be easier to cut half of it.

There was no end to the work, absolutely no end to it. Qiao Sheng originally thought that if things didn't work out, he could just take back the rope tied to the rocks on the shore and let the float float directly. She felt more secure sleeping on the sea than sleeping on the shore .

But Li Mu said that he was a light sleeper and would wake her up before the sun rose, so she changed her mind.

The two of them slept for three or four hours. Just as the sky was getting light, several floats quietly approached the shore not far from them.

The sound of the float hitting the rocks was not loud, and it was even more vague under the cover of the sound of the waves. Qiao Sheng was busy all day and couldn't hear anything after falling asleep. But Li Mu was indeed as he said. He was very alert when he slept and noticed anything that was a little bit wrong.

"Qiao Sheng, wake up, someone is coming, hello." Li Mu had been a little bit paranoid these past two days because of Qiao Sheng's care. He didn't dare to look around, and lowered his voice to call her who was sleeping soundly.

Qiao Sheng, who originally wanted to leave early in the morning, although she was sleeping soundly, still had the most basic alertness. She woke up when Li Mu called her. When she heard him say someone was coming, she didn't say a word, but made a gesture, and the two of them quickly got off the floating board and untied the rope tied to the rock.

When the floating board floated up, Li Mu finally reacted. He felt that she was a little bit paranoid. What if it wasn't a bad person? It was like they met and helped each other. Now the facilities on their floating boards were quite complete.

Qiao Sheng didn't care what Li Mu thought, she picked up a wooden board to use as a paddle, and Li Mu asked her to lead her, so she followed suit, and the two of them quickly rowed away from the shore, bypassed the island, and continued to drift with the wind.

"You are lucky to meet me, what if you meet a bad guy? Don't you seldom play games? Let me tell you, there are a lot of bad guys in the game, especially those you don't know, who can do anything bad. When I played games before, there were always people who secretly burned my house when I was not around, which was simply hurting others and not benefiting yourself, so you must remember to be on guard against others!" Qiao Sheng saw that although Li Mu was also trying hard to row with her, he would turn his head to look at the shore from time to time, so she remembered to remind him.

"Yes, I'll remember it." Seeing Qiao Sheng's serious face, Li Mu didn't dare to refute him, and quickly said that he understood. As for whether he remembered it or not, only he knew.

After the two of them left the island, they didn't know that there were three or four people on the floating board that had landed on the island before. Each of them was holding a machete or an iron spear, standing on the shore where they left with a ferocious look, muttering that it was a pity that the big fat sheep ran away.

When the two floating boards were floating side by side, Qiao Sheng also made a breakfast of kelp, potato and pork soup with boiled corn, and handed it to Li Mu first, and then fried some spicy rabbit meat cubes for him as lunch.

"By the way, should I make you a simple water filter? Although this thing burns fuel, it may come in handy in case it's cloudy and rainy for a long time." When Qiao Sheng was delivering something to Li Mu, she passed by her own water filter and suddenly thought of this question.

Li Mu thought what she said made sense, and while the floating board was not far away, Qiao Sheng made the simple water filter and delivered it to her.

When she finally sat down to eat breakfast peacefully, the two floating boards were getting farther and farther apart.

"Goodbye." Li Mu waved at her.

"The mountains and rivers remain unchanged, and we'll meet again if we're lucky. Take care, brother." Qiao Sheng raised the half-eaten corn and shook it.
