Chapter 117
After lunch, Li Mu mixed the dough for the dumpling wrappers and went to Xia Beibei's boat to help install the drive equipment that she couldn't install when she came back.
Xia Beibei took the things out of the storage box and strolled back to Qiao Sheng's boat to help roll the wrappers and make dumplings.
So professional things should be done by professionals. The drive equipment that troubled Xia Beibei for a long time was installed by Li Mu in less than an afternoon. It is said that it is more advanced than the one on Qiao Sheng's boat and can be faster.
Xia Beibei on the chopping board finally learned how to roll the dumpling wrappers. When Li Mu came back, he found that he seemed to be unable to participate in the work of making dumplings. He could only help to carry the dumplings that filled the board to the terrace to freeze them.
The rest of the time, he took a chair and sat in front of the storage cabinet to fiddle with the containers. It was impossible to take out the containers in the storage cabinet directly. They were too big and their wooden boat could not bear them.
Li Mu tried to open the container in the cabinet. It was full of various supplies, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. At first, he was very happy to pack, but slowly he found something wrong. There
were too many supplies. With their current storage space, it was impossible to take out all the supplies in all the containers and store them one by one.
But they had to open the containers. He had just opened a container full of frozen pork. If they didn't take it out and kept it in the container, it would go bad when the weather got warmer and the pork thawed.
Li Mu raised the issue. The three of them had collected 10,000 containers in one go. No matter how you calculated it, the workload was a bit huge, so the three of them started brainstorming.
The final solution was to open all the containers. Except for the food, the rest would not be taken out from the lockers and storage boxes. They would use this bug-free method to store it.
As for the distribution of the containers, Qiao Sheng and his team agreed to divide it in half by ship, while Xia Beibei thought it should be divided into three parts by person.
"Beibei, you don't have to do this. The reason why we got so many containers this time is because of you. Your backpack has a large capacity, and you were smart enough to put all the large lockers in it. That's why we were able to load more than 6,000 containers at once. We'll both get a bargain if we split it in half, but it's definitely not okay to split it in three." Qiao Sheng directly rejected Xia Beibei's proposal.
"Then I can't use so many things myself." Xia Beibei really felt that she couldn't use so many things.
"Then change it to supplies and build ships. You must have also picked up diagrams for strengthening ships and diagrams for artillery and catapults. Install them all, and put aside the ones that are not needed. At least they look impressive." Qiao Sheng told him about his previous encounter with Tan Sanzhuo and his wife.
Xia Beibei was furious, and kept muttering how could there be such a bad person, and that he really deserved to be caught and beaten.
Qiao Sheng prepared a lot of noodles and stuffing this time, and it took him a whole afternoon to wrap them. In the end, there was not enough cover, and Li Mu had to make a new cover. The frozen dumplings on the terrace were put into the storage box in the kitchen with the cover.
In the evening, while eating dumplings with three fresh stuffings, Qiao Sheng specially added vinegar with chili oil for Xia Beibei, and the little girl was so happy.
"My mother would be so happy if she knew I could roll dough. If I have a chance to go back, I will definitely show off my new skills. I can also wash clothes and clean my boat. If I clean my bedroom, my mother will never call it a pigsty again." People tend to overthink when they relax. Xia Beibei is a little worried at the moment.
"Well, if we work harder, we will get out one day. However, we have to survive in this survival game. Don't let it be game over before we can get out." Seeing how sad she was, Qiao Sheng grabbed the Arctic fox that was fighting with the dumplings in the rice bowl.
Before the people and the fox could react, the fox was stuffed into Xia Beibei's arms. The fox in her dream suddenly appeared in her arms, and Xia Beibei didn't know where to touch. Qiao Sheng brought the Arctic fox's food bowl over before it ran away, and also gave it five dumplings and a few pig ears, successfully calming it.
Xia Beibei's homesickness was successfully dispelled by the fox. Qiao Sheng and Li Mu looked at each other and felt that the little girl was easy to fool. They could divert her attention by giving her something. If she continued to think about it, she might cry, and there would be no way to comfort her then.
A little food could make the Arctic fox obedient and Xia Beibei no longer worried. It seemed very calculated.
After dinner, Li Mu washed the dishes. Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei moved their chairs to the stern of the second floor, facing the storage boxes and cabinets that filled the walls. They began to take out the cabinets in their bags and open the blind boxes in the containers.
The first thing Qiao Sheng opened was a container full of fabrics, fabrics of various colors, in whole pieces. Out of curiosity, she took out some to check.
She had only seen this kind of whole piece of fabric in TV dramas. She usually bought ready-made clothes online and had never gone to a tailor shop to have them tailored. It was very novel. Xia Beibei also turned around curiously to watch.
After taking out dozens of batches, she found that there seemed to be no particularly amazing brocade and silk, but all were dyed cloth. There were many colors, but most of them were dark.
Qiao Sheng looked through the container and found that four-fifths were black, gray, and navy blue, which were resistant to dirt, and the remaining one-fifth were bright colors. She
took out a batch of cloth of various colors and put them aside. When Li Mu came back from washing the dishes, she asked him to take the cotton to make a cotton coat. She didn't want to wear a white cotton coat at all.
The first container Xia Beibei opened was a box full of cotton bags. She took out a bag and opened it. It was full of white fur. She clicked on the check in the game and found that it was duck down. A whole container of duck down.
Qiao Sheng was very surprised. Why make cotton clothes? She changed them all into down jackets and pants, and then made a few down mattresses. Forget about quilts. She felt insecure without weight on her body. If Li Mu and Xia Beibei wanted, she could help.
When Li Mu finished washing the dishes and went into the house, the two of them were filled with things behind them. In addition to cloth and duck down, there were also various daily necessities. What surprised them the most was that Xia Beibei actually opened a container full of sanitary napkins. God knows how the two of them lived in the past few months.
Xia Beibei said that she would just squat on the toilet for a few days, while Qiao Sheng would secretly consume cotton cloth. If it wasn't for the dirtiness and the fact that there was a lot of cotton at home, she would have to live with ash, so the sanitary products in this container had to be split in half.
A lot of frozen meat and vegetables were also opened, and Xia Beibei wanted to deposit them with Qiao Sheng so that she could eat and drink freely when the time came. Qiao Sheng asked her to take them all away to exchange for supplies. The food she collected here would definitely be enough to feed her. If she really couldn't exchange them, she could deposit some with another chef, Lin Haiyang.
Li Mu took the cloth, cotton and duck down and sat on the sofa to start making them. The down pants were made in black and navy blue, so they would not get dirty. After he made one pair, he suddenly remembered to ask Xia Beibei if she had found the patterns of down jackets and down pants. After all, making clothes without patterns could only make ordinary clothes.
Only the patterns from the drifting bottle could make clothes with attributes.
Xia Beibei shook her head. She had only picked up cotton coats and cotton pants so far, and had never picked up anything else.
Qiao Sheng and the others had never picked up the cotton pants pattern, so the job of making cotton pants was handed over to Xia Beibei. This girl was really fierce. She held the cloth in her left hand and touched the cotton with her right hand. As she was making them, cotton pants of various colors fell to the ground.
When the red cotton pants fell, Qiao Sheng quickly stopped them, because this color could not be worn outside.
Li Mu made the cotton coat with a fishbone bracelet. With the blessing of the luck value, the properties of the products were not low. Each piece was a small boutique. Two red cotton coats were also made. Xia Beibei directly chose her own size and tried them on. Except for being a little eye-catching, it was much better looking than the previous white cotton coat.
They were working and distributing the materials at the same time. Li Mu was in the back doing logistics. When the rubber was distributed in front, he divided it in half, and then used the materials to make sports shoes. After making her and Qiao Sheng's, he asked Xia Beibei if she needed help to make a few pairs.
Xia Beibei never made a fuss. It was actually quite good to have someone to help with the work.
After working all night, they finally packed out a few hundred containers, a total of 9,000 storage boxes, and no one knew how long they would have to finish.
In the evening, Xia Beibei took the distributed materials back to her boat. Qiao Sheng had just laid down when she saw Li Mu adding knockout drugs to the water cup again. When she shouted "no, no", sat up and reached out to grab it, Li Mu's knockout drugs had taken effect. He closed his eyes without even covering himself with the quilt.
Qiao Sheng was so angry that he slapped him on the shoulder. This guy took the knockout drug as a sleeping pill. I didn’t notice anything unusual about him today, so I didn’t expect him to do this tonight.
This guy timed it well. He knew Qiao Sheng couldn’t let him drink it. He added the drug to the water while she was getting on the kang and taking off her cotton clothes. As soon as she lay down, she raised her head and drank it, not giving Qiao Sheng any time to react.
Pulling the pillow under his head and covering him with a quilt, Qiao Sheng decided to confiscate all the knockout drugs on him tomorrow to prevent this guy from becoming addicted to the drugs in the future.
