Chapter 81

When freezing shrimps, Qiao Sheng used the method that Qiao's mother used to freeze shrimps in the refrigerator. He asked Li Mu to use wooden boards to nail together a dozen wooden boxes, which were not too big. He put two layers of shrimps on them and poured water on them. Then he placed them on the second terrace. It was still snowing outside, so she moved the bamboo table out to block the snow.

At this temperature, it would take a few hours to freeze. They dared not rest for a moment near this island. Qiao Sheng was busy freezing shrimps, while Li Mu was wearing a raincoat and carrying a bow and arrow. He stood on the third deck and patrolled. If he saw any suspicious objects approaching, he would shoot.

Before it was completely dark, he found something approaching. He had his bow ready, and saw a bright black skin with white patterns on both sides.

Li Mu was not sure if it was the killer whale that had followed them to seek help before, so he went downstairs to the bow to observe. The killer whale in the water was quite excited when it saw him coming down, and swam with its head and tail shaking.

Li Mu asked it if it wanted to see him off? The killer whale slapped the water, and it seemed that it wanted to escort them for a while. Then, it was unknown what the man and the whale talked about. Anyway, when Qiao Sheng finished cooking, Li Mu took off his raincoat, put away his bow and arrow, washed his hands, and went to the kitchen to help serve dinner.

"Hey, I just wanted to call you to eat, why did you come down by yourself? Are you hungry?" Qiao Sheng increased the speed of mixing the cold vegetables, fearing that he would faint from hunger and couldn't carry it himself.

"No, no need to patrol. The good things we did earlier are now rewarded. There is a killer whale outside to escort our ship. I have made an agreement with it, so you can sleep peacefully at night. It will not leave until you leave this sea area. Brothers and sisters can still find us if they have any problems in the future." Li Mu took the mixed mustard greens and brought them to the kang table in the warm room.

Qiao Sheng opened the wooden window of the kitchen, and the killer whale happened to follow her. It was a little dark outside, but she did see the killer whale shaking its head at her.

After closing the wooden window, the two of them went back to the warm room to eat dinner. There was nothing new. They still used the pot base that Fang Yueyi had sent them. They cut a lot of mutton slices, some tenderloin slices, and some black fish slices. She also cut a part of the giant squid outside, and the shrimps caught in the afternoon were also arranged.

The only vegetables suitable for hot pot at home are actually potatoes and lettuce. It feels weird to eat Chinese cabbage in hot pot. The potato slices were soaked in clear water for a while, the starch was removed, the lettuce was peeled and washed, and two cucumbers were washed and eaten directly. It was a pity that she didn't know how to make sauce, otherwise she could have some to dip in the sauce.

The two of them were sweating after the hot pot. They rested in the house for a while to digest the food, put on their cotton clothes and went out to continue working.

In the cabin, one was fishing and the other was collecting supplies. Qiao Sheng thought that he would send some dinner to the guards outside later. He couldn't call the whales for nothing, so he gave the fishing job to Li Mu. At her fishing speed, she might not be able to feed the guys outside even if she fished all night.

Li Mu went to move two small stools, one for fishing and one for collecting, and her posture was very experienced.

After catching ten, she took them out to feed them. Later, she thought why she was wasting her energy, so she took a lot of shark meat from the shark meat storage box at the bow and fed it. The killer whale didn't mind the smell of toilet when eating this stuff.

"Is it treating shark as mobile cod liver oil? It really doesn't feel like a burden at all when eating it." When Qiao Sheng went out to see it, it was eating delicious food. She even doubted whether this whale had a sense of taste.

Before, she thought that the cassock cub was already in various states of tenderness, so it should at least eat it cooked with tomato juice. She tried it raw, but it would push it away with its paws when it was put in its mouth.

After feeding the killer whale, it was almost time, so she washed up and went to rest.

Li Mu got up before daybreak. It snowed non-stop that day. After the first day of snowing all night and the ship almost sank, he didn't feel safe at all.

He put on his clothes and was about to move to the door quietly when the person at the head of the bed woke up.

"What time is it?" Before she opened her eyes, Qiao Sheng forced her brain to start working and sat up suddenly. Her head was buzzing. If Li Mu hadn't helped her, she would have fallen against the wall.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not easy to get up so suddenly. You wait for a while. I'll go out and clean up the snow. It seems that the water barrels at home are full. I have to make a batch of wooden barrels to store water later." After pushing her back on the pillow, Li Mu opened the door and went out.

I went to the bathroom on the first floor to wash up, and stood in front of the wooden door on the second floor. The door still blocked my way. When I was removing the door, Li Mu was thinking that if I kept removing it like this, it would be scrapped sooner or later.

I collected the snow on the second floor terrace, put the full buckets in my bag and took them to the storage room on the first floor. I took out the wooden boards from the storage box and made 20 buckets at once. I would use them slowly. Anyway, I would use them sooner or later. I was annoyed by the snow when I was cleaning, but I was looking forward to more snow when I was storing water.

When going upstairs to clean the snow on the third deck, Qiao Sheng got up, washed, put on a rabbit fur hat and gloves, and went up to the third deck with a shovel. The two of them worked together, which made the cleaning faster. Every day after sweeping the snow on the deck, they felt that the whole ship was lighter.

When Li Mu went to clean the first layer of snow, Qiao Sheng harvested the crops in the planting pots in the cabin, replanted them, added food to the animals' troughs, and when he put corn kernels in the chicken coop, he suddenly found two eggs.

Call the hen outside to come in and check whether it is an egg that can hatch chicks or an egg that can be eaten. Li Mu lit the oil lamp, looked at the lamp for a long time, and told her that it can't be eaten. Put it back to the chicken. It will hatch chicks in a while. The chicken team at home will soon grow bigger.

"Both can be hatched? Not one of them can be eaten?" Qiao Sheng didn't give up and asked again.

Li Mu told her very confidently that it couldn't be, just put it back honestly, sighed, grabbed the hen's neck with his left hand viciously and lifted it up, pinched the two eggs with his right hand and stuffed them under the chicken's butt, and then put them on the chicken mound.

This action stunned the cute monk cub who crawled out of the bear's den, and Li Mu could only laugh.

"What are you looking at? You're touching your butt. Can you hatch eggs or something? You really deserve a beating. I don't have any eggs to eat today. We share the hardship. You should eat vegetarian food for a day!" Qiao Sheng turned his head and saw Li Mu who was trying not to laugh and the monk who was scratching his butt. He stretched out his hand and poked the monk back into the bear's den. He

ate a bite of breakfast casually. Today was very busy. Qiao Sheng not only had to freeze the remaining shrimps, but also had to wash the cabbage and snow red and dry them on the drying rack. Now they couldn't be dried outside, so they could only be dried in the shade.

Li Mu also made a new water tank. The pickled cabbage he made before was almost eaten, so he had to make some more.

Some of the other wheat, corn and rice were taken out and spread on the deck to dry. Fortunately, the game does not require the sun to dry these crops, otherwise they would be worried in this weather.

After planting a few batches of barley, they took some, washed it and spread it in the corner. It has dried up now. After discussing with Li Mu, they decided to just throw it into the pot and fry it until it is cooked. There are no other spices, so it is just a simple frying. After frying, boil a clay pot and pour it into a bamboo cup. Everyone tastes a cup first.

The rest is covered with a small quilt in the clay pot and placed on the kang table in the warm room. Whoever is thirsty can drink it. It is warm in there, so it will cool down more slowly.

Li Mu also had a lot of work to do. All the animals that had not been dissected before were divided. The fur had to be cleaned before being dried. The pig intestines and internal organs had to be cleaned. The sheep internal organs had not been cleaned yet. They kept talking about eating sheep offal soup. Every day, there were always accidents that interrupted them.

This busy and peaceful state lasted for a whole week.

The freshly pickled cabbage had been put into the jar, the winter vegetables had been cut and pickled in the jar, and the flour, cornmeal, and brown rice had been threshed and ground into powder. They had all been put into the storage box for food in the kitchen.

Li Mu has boiled the entrails of the three sharks into cod liver oil, and made chondroitin and artificial skin membrane from the shark bones. He grows Panax notoginseng every day and makes Baibaodan. There is now a special storage box in the storage room with "Medical Box" engraved on it.

There are 29 glass bottles full of cod liver oil in it, and one bottle is more than half used. The one and a half bottles were made from the sharks that Fang Yueyi and the others had hunted before. The three sharks that were collected as gifts were large in size. With Li Mu's current superb production technology, the oil output has increased greatly. One four-meter shark and two more than three-meter sharks, the entrails can be boiled into 28 bottles of cod liver oil.

Artificial skin films are all very large. Qiao Sheng counted them and found that there were ten of them. This is what he used to treat injuries and broken skin.

The amount of chondroitin is large, mainly because the three sharks are too big, so there are many fish bones. They were originally stored in small iron basins, but now they are replaced with clay pots. Li Mu specially made ten clay pots, which are filled to the brim. There is also a lid on the clay pot. Qiao Sheng joked that the shape looks like an urn. With the powdered chondroitin inside, it must be said that it does look like an urn.

There are now 200 bottles of Baibaodan. Qiao Sheng estimated that this is equivalent to red medicine. In the future, they will definitely be able to fight monsters with medicine.

"Are you sure you can swallow this powder directly? If you fight with the beast and put the powder in your mouth at the same time, won't you get choked by the wind?" Li Mu thought her idea was a little unreliable. Which decent person would take medicine like this?
