Chapter 82
You can’t think too much about this scene, it’s totally unrealistic and a little funny.
In these seven days, they really didn’t encounter any islands, but they did encounter other players’ boats. Everyone was very careful, and no one stood outside to stare at other people’s boats.
They all carefully opened the wooden window and looked out through the gap. If you ask Qiao Sheng how she knew, it’s very simple. When she was peeking at others, others were also peeking at her. Or the other party was careless when closing the window, and the wooden window swayed a few times, and she found it. As for whether the other party saw her, it’s not clear.
They drank the mutton soup, and Qiao Sheng tried to make a baked cake and sent it to Xia Beibei. The little girl flattered for half an hour, and she stopped sending messages when she knew that she would get cold if she didn’t eat it.
After dinner, Xia Beibei sent a large bag of sesame seeds. In the email, she wrote that she liked sesame pancakes more! The point is that the mutton soup lacked a little sesame sauce. If you have a chance to eat it again in the future, remember to make it for her. When eating hot pot, you also need a sesame sauce dish. When Qiao Sheng
got the sesame seeds, his first thought was that this is indeed koi, no matter whether it was opened, collected, or exchanged in the trading system, people got it. The weather has been cold recently, and they have eaten a lot of hot pot. The lack of sesame sauce has made them both worried.
Before going to bed these nights, their regular entertainment is to enter the trading system to find where they can exchange sesame seeds. Qiao Sheng has thought about it, and she will exchange any outrageous order, but she has been looking for a week and hasn't seen any trace of sesame seeds. Today,
I sent a fried pancake to Xia Beibei, and she sent back a bag of sesame seeds after eating. They tried for a long time but it was not as fast as Jinli's wish.
Before I had time to tell Li Mu, I hurried upstairs to harvest the crops in the greenhouse planting pots, and then planted the sesame seeds. All four planting pots were full of sesame seeds.
When Li Mu went upstairs to the greenhouse to pour barley tea, he saw her with her hands in her pockets, smiling particularly brightly as she looked at the planting pots on the kang.
Just after taking a sip of barley tea, before he had time to ask her what she was growing, Qiao Sheng excitedly asked him to guess.
"Sesame, there shouldn't be anything else that can make you so excited recently. Was it sent to you by Xia Beibei?" Li Mu said after swallowing the tea in his mouth.
"It's really boring. You saw through everything, but how did you guess it was from Xia Beibei? Couldn't I have exchanged it in the trading system?" In this situation, Qiao Sheng still wanted to resist. When did she have no secrets in front of him?
"If you had exchanged it yourself, you would have told me loudly downstairs just now, and then said that you could exchange it, but I couldn't. Even the unlucky ones can have their good days, and even the European emperors can have bad luck. As for Xia Beibei, it's easy to guess. You only have a few friends. If Grandma Chu and Fang Ya had gotten it and wanted to give it to you, they must have made a finished product. If Lin Haiyang and Fang Yueyi had gotten it, they would have sent it directly, but they don't have this luck. If Zheng Xi had it, he would have given it to Pei Hong, and it wouldn't have reached you. To sum up, only Xia Beibei meets the conditions." Li Mu counted on his fingers and analyzed it in detail for her.
For a moment, Qiao Sheng didn't know whether he knew himself too well or was too smart to analyze.
"It's not important. You'll be on the scene after the planting is done, Teacher Li. From now on, use your brain and think hard about how to make sesame oil and sesame sauce. In the future, whether to eat oil or sesame sauce for hot pot depends on your level." Qiao Sheng patted his shoulder with a sly smile.
There were quite a few wild boars that were distributed before. The intestines were washed and cleaned and stuffed with meat stuffing to make marinated intestines. The rest of the parts were halved and dried.
It has been seven days, and the snow has no intention of stopping. They still dare not sleep too deeply every day. Before, they just got up at dawn to clean the snow, but now they have to get up in the middle of the night to clean it, almost every four hours.
The first time I got up in the middle of the night to clean up the snow was at the reminder of Jiashazi and Shuanzhu. The two of them worked non-stop on the boat every day and were very busy, so they naturally slept very soundly at night.
Three nights ago, Jiashazi and Shuanzhu kept calling in the middle of the night. At first, the two of them didn't hear them at all, until they were both shouting and the people who were sleeping soundly in the greenhouse heard them.
Qiao Sheng didn't move. Not long after Li Mu put on his clothes and went downstairs, he shouted at her to get up and clean up the snow on the second-floor terrace. This time, time was urgent and they didn't even have time to fill the buckets. The shovel flew up and shoveled all the snow into the sea.
After clearing the snow on the bow and the second deck, they slowed down on the third deck and brought up the big wooden barrels containing snow water. Qiao Sheng finally had time to ask what happened.
"The two animals are giving us a warning. We'll give them a meal during the day. If they hadn't been barking like crazy, we would have sunk into the sea." Li Mu also felt a lingering fear.
In that situation just now, the two animals screamed wildly. At first, he didn't understand what they meant, so he scolded them a few words and tied the ducklings that were tied with ropes and couldn't leave the bear den. The cassock cub was trying hard to climb out of the bear den. Seeing that something was wrong with the two of them, Li Mu took it out of the bear den. After
being put on the ground, the cassock cub used his hands and feet to crawl to the wooden door and pry it open. Li Mu thought that the door was closed too tightly and the brazier was burning, causing carbon monoxide poisoning. He wanted to open the door to let them breathe, but he couldn't push it at all. This situation was not right. It was only midnight. The doors were removed in the morning a few days ago. There shouldn't be so much snow at this time.
After quickly removing the wooden door of the cabin, he finally understood what the two kids meant. The seawater outside was pouring in. Fortunately, he quickly took the wooden planks that they had piled up last night and didn't store in the storage room, and pressed them against the wooden door as a threshold.
Then he called Qiao Sheng to get up and clean the snow. Since then, the two of them have hardly had a good night's sleep. They always have to wake up twice in the middle of the night to clean the snow before they can feel at ease.
Now they are studying the plan to modify the boat. The one who proposed it is Xia Beibei. She has no shortage of water. The water stored on the boat is enough for her. Getting up at night to sweep the snow is really annoying. Later, this girl thought of a way to add a sloped cover to the top of the boat.
In order to keep the light, it must be able to be lifted up during the day. Later, she added a layer of wooden wall on the second deck at an angle, similar to the ridge roof of a house. Her boat was originally narrow and long, and now adding this cover is quite convenient.
But it was a bit difficult for Qiao Sheng and his team. Their boat needed to be wider. In the end, they decided to use Xia Beibei's method and add a cover to the three-layer deck. However, when building this thing, they also had to consider that they needed to store snow and use the three layers to dry crops when the weather was fine.
Li Mu changed it to a push-pull retractable type. Because the wooden board was too small, it was also made into a wooden wall. The lowest part near the bow and the highest part at the stern were made into a triangle, and the two sides were allowed to extend out of the hull. In this way, when the snow fell, it would slide down the wooden wall like a roof and fall into the sea.
This work is more complicated. Li Mu came up with this plan, knowing that there are no roofs with ridges now, not to mention that they need to have pulley tracks inside to facilitate them to open at night and put away during the day, so they still need to get up in the middle of the night to sweep the snow.
"Can our retractable roof be completed before the snow season is over?" Qiao Sheng, who was busy mixing stuffing in the kitchen, saw someone carrying tools upstairs and couldn't help asking.
"Not sure, but try your best. It won't be needed this snow season, but there's always the next one." Li Mu was climbing the stairs. When he heard her question, he stopped and looked at the half-finished capping plan in front of him. He also felt that it was quite difficult.
Thinking of the next snow season, Qiao Sheng suddenly felt that there was no hope for this life. Was he really going to drift endlessly on the sea for the rest of his life? He couldn't help but ask Li Mu.
Li Mu squatted on the third-floor deck, making wooden walls. After thinking about it, he felt that it shouldn't be the case. It should be that they haven't found the conditions for passing the level yet. There must be a level for this kind of game, right?
"That's right, this guess is very reasonable. Try hard. With so many players, sooner or later we will find a way out." Qiao Sheng felt more energetic even when chopping meat stuffing.
"Be gentle, the chopping board should be changed. Next time we have the chance to go to the island, I will find a thicker tree stump and chop a few chopping boards for you. The way you chop, can I reasonably suspect that the meat buns and food with meat fillings we eat contain sawdust?" Li Mu reminded her hurriedly.
"You'd better shut up, otherwise for dinner tonight, I will eat meat-filled dumplings and you can only eat sawdust-filled dumplings!" Qiao Sheng made a face at him and continued to chop meat fillings.
While making dumplings, Qiao Sheng received an email from Fang Yueyi. At a glance, he realized that they might really be lucky, and the bad things happened to other players.
Since Fang Yueyi and her friends always drifted behind Qiao Sheng and his friends, after the last wild wolf incident, she would tell them in advance if she encountered any dangerous things.
After leaving the Antarctic-like island, Qiao Sheng also reminded Fang Yueyi and told them that if they saw such an island, they could just catch shrimps nearby. There were only penguins on the island, and there were no other animals or plants. They must keep a distance from the island. There were Styx jellyfish and other large animals there. If their boat was really overturned, they would have nowhere to cry.
So when Fang Yueyi and her friends drifted to the Antarctic island, Pei Hong issued instructions to everyone, trying not to get close to the island, and catching shrimps in the nearby waters. The shrimps here are big and fat, and the meat is delicious.
They arrived in the morning, and other players drifted to the island at noon. When they passed by them, they were wondering why these people were circling the island. Pei Hong reminded them that he had just seen a huge shadow in the sea, so he didn't dare to get close to the island.
There were five boats passing by, and four of them thanked Pei Hong for his reminder and learned from them to catch fish and shrimp in the nearby waters. In this sea area, even the fish are much bigger than in other places.
Especially when they saw a few killer whales in the distance, they dared not act rashly.
There was only one boat, and there were only two people standing on the boat. They didn't believe what Pei Hong said at all. Not only did they say that he was scaremongering, but they also said that he wanted to monopolize the benefits. There must be good things on this island, otherwise why would they stop them from going ashore.
Pei Hong simply shut up about this kind of person. He had already stood at the gate of Yanluo Palace to stop people, but there was no other way for him to stop the person who was rushing to die. He had done his best to stop a stranger once. This was really too much. He was afraid that Prince Yan would take him away.
