Chapter 22
Li Mu filled in the number 38 and name Qiao Sheng in the friend add. The system prompted that the other party's ship had not been upgraded to level 3 and could not be added as a friend. He
was surprised that Qiao Sheng had not upgraded to level 3 yet. Thinking of the dishes and soup that had just been replaced, he estimated that she had just upgraded to level 2. He also felt that it was not right. According to Qiao Sheng's level of effort, she should not upgrade the ship so late.
He could not contact her and could not ask her. Now all he could do was wait, wait for Qiao Sheng to upgrade the ship to level 3.
"Xiao Li, what are you doing on the boat? Let's go into the woods to hunt together. We have more people and we are not afraid of the dark." A shout came from the shore, and Li Mu had to shut down the system.
"Brother Shen, I won't go to the forest. There are enough planks. It's getting late. I'm going to pack up and rest." Li Mu said as he looked at the three or four strong men on the shore.
These were the people he had just met when he went to the island today. It was only after seeing them that he realized that multiple people could use one boat. These people were very enthusiastic when they saw him. They invited him to dinner and invited him to collect. However, he remembered what Qiao Sheng said about being cautious of others, so he never agreed.
"Okay, no problem. Then we brothers will go to the forest first. There are more people at home, so the consumption will be much greater. Let's collect some." Shen Bin waved his hand happily at Li Mu and left with his brothers.
Li Mu saw them walking away and returned to the cabin to prepare supplies for going to the sea.
"Brother Bin, do you think this guy has figured out something? Why doesn't he take the bait?" The little man next to Shen Bin approached and whispered.
"He will definitely be on guard at first, but it's okay. Take your time. We'll just follow him. We can't lose this fat sheep. Look at his boat. It's much better than our broken wooden planks. If we take it for ourselves, we brothers will have fewer days of struggle." Shen Bin laughed heartily. He had a handsome face, and no one would have thought that he had evil intentions.
Li Mu heard his brothers laughing outside and looking out of the window of the cabin. He turned around and posted a special order in the trading system to trade with player No. 38. It was still a piece of soap in exchange for two dishes and a soup. He couldn't get in touch with her, so he could only use this method to make up for her.
Qiao Sheng had no time to look at the trading system. He was busy, so he took this opportunity to move the toilet to a new location. The previous walls were built by Li Mu using wooden boards. Now that there are wooden walls, he can finally build a good one.
First, carefully remove the previous wooden boards. They can be reused and must not be wasted. The leaf door and door frame must be kept. She doesn't know how to make them, and they will have to be installed later.
This time the floating board has a larger area, and the area planned for the toilet is also larger. First, there is a toilet in the corner, and a large bucket is placed opposite the toilet to be used as a bathtub.
She also made a bamboo table, cut it in the middle, and fixed the broken end against the wall with a row of iron ingots. She put her hands on it and bounced it to make sure it was stable. She also placed a storage box at the position of the table legs, which was used to store clean items and some clothes.
There was no place to put the other half of the table, and she didn't want to waste it, so she stuffed it into the corner next to the bathtub and fixed it with iron nails. When she had fruit freedom in the future, she could put some fruit here when she took a bath.
After everything was packed up, she reinstalled the leaf door. Looking at the yellow banana leaves on the door, she wanted to change it. Later, she thought about it and decided to forget it. This thing will definitely dry up and turn yellow in the end. If the demand is too high, it is unnecessary. The yellow color will blend in with the surrounding wooden walls, which is particularly harmonious.
After the bathroom was rebuilt, Qiao Sheng took a bath. She even heated the water in an iron pot. In autumn, she didn't dare to take a cold shower. When she used cotton cloth to apply soap on her body, she sighed, thinking that she didn't need a bath towel, and the cotton cloth couldn't remove the mud. After
taking a bath, she felt refreshed and changed into clean clothes. The water in the bucket was really dirty. There was no way to reuse it, so Qiao Sheng used a small wooden basin to scoop it into the toilet little by little to refresh it.
After cleaning the bathtub and lying on the bed, Qiao Sheng felt that she had to brush the trading system more frequently in the future, just in case she could encounter such an exchange again.
As soon as the sun rose, Qiao Sheng got busy. After a quick breakfast, she began to think about how to build the boat. If she put a circle of wooden walls around the outside, it would affect her vision too much, but without the wooden walls, she couldn't put up the second-floor deck. Moreover,
all the fishing nets were outside, which made it inconvenient for her to collect supplies. After planning for a long time, she finally decided to change her mindset and move the outer fishing nets inward. She still put the floating boards on the outermost circle, so that she could collect supplies in the cabin, which would only waste the size of a floating board, which was not a big problem.
After setting a goal, Qiao Sheng spent a whole morning dismantling and bundling, and then moved all the outer fishing nets one grid inward. Looking around, it was still quite neat.
For lunch, she wanted to simply cook a pork chop and radish soup with boiled corn. While waiting for it to be cooked, she flipped through the trading system and saw the one who exchanged soap for rice again, and it was pinned high. Qiao Sheng was still wondering how it was her turn today in such an obvious place since she was in the back corner yesterday and might not have been discovered. She
couldn't see the exclusive order from her side, so she accepted the order with confusion. This meal couldn't be made so simply. The fruits and vegetables planted yesterday happened to be ripe, so they were all harvested. Yesterday she made cabbage, and today she changed to stir-fried cabbage with lard. She was originally worried about not being able to solve the problem of rabbit meat, so it was good to have something to help digestion.
It was boring to always stir-fry rabbit meat with peppers. Qiao Sheng planned to cut potatoes into small pieces and stir-fry them with rabbit meat. Potatoes were a local dish that adapted to local customs, so they should be delicious no matter how they were cooked.
When she built the boat, she would make sweet potato vermicelli with the sweet potato flour that she had dried a few days ago. She would then see if there were any seasonings in the trading system. It would also be nice to make pork stewed with vermicelli. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to eat it.
Considering that she had to give away one portion, Qiao Sheng stir-fried a lot of potatoes and rabbit meat in this pot. She put in two dishes and one soup, and casually stuffed a few boiled corns in.
Li Mu, who was originally cooking everything in plain water, heard the system prompt and quickly turned off the fire in front of him. He should take a break from the boiled food. If he didn't eat something delicious, he would be a fool.
After taking it out and taking a look, Qiao Sheng was living a good life. He could tell the rapeseed was not fried with coconut oil, but had a meaty taste. The usual spicy rabbit cubes were replaced with potato cubes and rabbit stew, and there were radishes in the sparerib soup. It was really good. Now that they were in touch, he could place some exclusive orders for her from time to time, and he could finally have normal meals. After
dinner, Qiao Sheng started to build a wooden wall. The buoy could not distinguish the stern and the bow, so he could seal one side with a wooden wall, and start to erect wooden walls from two-thirds of the long sides. The end without the wooden wall was the bow, and it could be dried on the buoy, and the drying rack was also set up here.
After the wooden wall was erected, they began to install the deck on top of their heads. When installing it, Qiao Sheng was still worried that there would be no support underneath, and it would not fit, and it would collapse. Fortunately, this was just a game, and it didn't matter if it didn't fit. As long as it extended from the wall, it could be built. From then on, Qiao Sheng's ship finally had a roof.
Of course, the disadvantages were also obvious. The cabin could not be illuminated by sunlight, and it was extremely dark. After dark, they could only rely on torches for lighting.
This busyness lasted till late at night. She hurriedly prepared the deck above her head and built a staircase at the place where the wooden wall was not sealed at the bow for easy access. There was really no time to clean up the rest. She would wait until dawn.
She fell asleep as soon as she lay down. This time, she was finally not woken up by the sun. Judging from the position of the sun, it should have risen a long time ago. It turned out that she was not worthy of waking up naturally. The position of this bed should be close to the bow so that she could be woken up by the sun.
In the case of good weather, she should sleep outside the cabin. It was not that she was cruel, but she knew her sleep quality too well. She could sleep until the afternoon without being disturbed. At this stage, time was too precious and could not be wasted at all. After
getting up, brushing teeth and washing face, and having breakfast, I started to thresh the wheat. With limited tools, I first made a bamboo grate with bamboo, put the wheat grains in it, and slowly threshed them through shaking and the gaps of the bamboo grate.
Later, I was too tired from shaking, so I changed to cutting a bamboo tube and patting the wheat on the ground to achieve the purpose of threshing.
I repeated these actions over and over again until all the wheat was threshed. Looking at the two pieces of cloth on the floating board, one piece was placed with the outer shell thorns of the wheat, and the other piece was placed with the wheat that had been threshed successfully. Qiao Sheng was about to cry, and strongly demanded to enter the era of electrification. Manual labor was too difficult, especially for someone like her who was lazy and could not tell the difference between grains.
People who really don't know the difference between the five grains won't harvest these things to embarrass themselves. People like her who know a little bit about everything, alas, don't know much, and blindly believe in themselves will become more and more tired.
After resting for a while and eating something, I took out the dried sweet potato starch from the storage box, added fresh water to make a paste, took two small iron basins, and poured a layer of batter into it, put water in the iron pot, and supported it with wooden strips to make a steamer. The iron basin was placed on the wooden strips.
When the first layer was steamed, the second layer was poured, and it was steamed layer by layer until the small iron basin was full. After everything was steamed, the small iron basin was taken out and placed aside to cool.
While waiting, Qiao Sheng felt that the time was too slow, so he took a wooden basin and added sea water, then put the small iron basin in it. When the sea water became warm, he poured it out and replaced it with a new one. The cooling speed was indeed much faster.
After it cooled down, he removed it from the mold, put it on the chopping board, and cut it into square strips with a kitchen knife. You can put some of it when you cook tonight. If it tastes good, you can make more. You can just dry it in the sun and soak it when you eat it.
The fruits and vegetables in the planting pots have been planted for several rounds. Qiao Sheng collected the seeds separately. He didn't dare to plant too much cabbage and rapeseed to avoid waste. There was no need to rush to build the second floor. Let her clean up the first floor first and then build the second floor.
She now wants to break herself into eight pieces. There is no way to finish the work. There are only 24 hours in a day, which is too short. She strongly requests an extension!
After cutting a watermelon and showing off half of it in the sea breeze, Qiao Sheng wanted to complain. This watermelon is not so delicious. He wanted to complain when he ate it with Xia Beibei, but he was a freeloader at that time and it was not good to talk too much.
This melon should not be an improved variety. It is not a gratitude melon at all. It can only be eaten. If you don’t eat the melon, you don’t know how good Grandma Wu is. The producer of this game must not be Chinese, otherwise he can’t make this kind of watermelon. It is really uncomfortable to eat it, and it is also uncomfortable not to eat it.
