Chapter 56: Reed Field
Jiang Si found some medicines and gold jewelry in another room.
In addition, the steamship is equipped with a large generator and some commonly used electrical appliances.
Jiang Si put the generator into the space. Jiang Linhai was worried about her, so he went into the cabin and saw corpses on the ground. His eyes fell on the face of the ten-year-old girl who was still open-eyed, and shock and heartache rose in his eyes.
Jiang Si did not hide anything and said truthfully: "She wanted to kill me to avenge her parents."
The heartache in Jiang Linhai's eyes suddenly turned into complexity.
After a while, he digested the facts and comforted Jiang Si: "You are right!"
When this group of people wanted to kill them, who considered them? Niu Niu was only seven years old. All this can only be said to be retribution.
Jiang Si was still a little concerned about how Jiang Linhai would look at her. Jiang Linhai looked distressed at her, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Si went to another steamship. The supplies Qin Shen obtained were even richer, including food, daily necessities and clothing. There were more than 2,000 kilograms of rice alone. There were also some livestock on the ship.
Ten chickens, five ducks, six little rabbits and a big yellow cow.
This group of people also studied growing crops indoors. Several oil drums were filled with sweet potatoes and potatoes, and a lot of bean sprouts and leeks were also grown.
If these people plan carefully, the supplies on these two ships will be enough to meet their future living needs.
But they chose the most despicable means.
Jiang Si sighed, and everyone became happy after counting the supplies on the two steamships.
Shen Baoying touched the furry little rabbit and was overjoyed: "Sisi, what should we do with these two ships?"
An army only needs one leader, and Jiang Si is now everyone's default leader.
Jiang Si had just considered this. She looked at Qin Shen and Jiang Chengwu and asked, "Do you want to take a separate boat?"
Jiang Si’s subtext is whether they should go out on their own.
Although the yacht has good facilities and environment, it has no electricity and can only be used as a sailboat. The steamship is faster and one-third larger than their yacht. It also has supplies, which is more than enough to sustain Lu Zhifeng and others' lives.
When Lu Zhifeng heard Jiang Si's voice-over, he and Niu Niu's faces turned pale.
Jiang Si will definitely not let them down, and the distribution of supplies will definitely be fair. However, although the steamship is good, it requires the cooperation of several people to operate it.
Niu Niu is so young, if anything happens to her, he will have no way to deal with it at the same time.
When there are many people together, there is always someone to look after.
Taking turns to keep watch, cook, clean, plant and raise livestock, life can go on as usual and people can sleep soundly.
Lu Zhifeng wanted to fight for Niuniu as well as himself, so he said frankly and sincerely, "Niuniu and I have been taken care of by everyone along the way. Now that we have an extra boat, we shouldn't bother you any more. But the steamer is so big, I can't handle it alone, and Niuniu isn't as happy with me as with everyone else. There's strength in numbers, so can Niuniu and I stay together?"
Lu Zhifeng thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work."
People are not obliged to take them in.
Suddenly, Qin Shen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and asked Jiang Si bluntly, "Can I stay?"
His deep eyes were like a sharp hook.
If they want to send out ships, they have to distribute supplies reasonably.
Of course, if they want to stay, there is no problem.
The supplies on the ships would be enough for them to be self-sufficient as long as they were properly planted and raised.
There is no need to worry about conflicts arising from supplies.
What's more, Qin Shen's unique massage technique can control her sudden pain, but she has not yet learned it.
In addition, Lu Zhifeng and Qin Shen are both strong men with good fighting and survival skills. They know each other well and have good personalities. Everyone can rest assured, and it can also enhance the strength of their team.
Jiang Si laughed. "I'm just asking casually so we can distribute supplies. If everyone refuses to leave, we can move most of the usable supplies onto the yacht, then use the steamer to clear the way and find a safe place to dock. Or we can drop anchor to secure several boats and plant some vegetables and food on the steamer. If there's any danger, we can just sail away."
It turns out that we don’t want to drive them away!
Niuniu and Lu Zhifeng showed the same surprised expression: "Okay!"
Qin Shen also nodded at Jiang Si.
Everyone got busy and moved most of the important supplies onto the yacht, leaving some spare supplies on the steamship in case of accidents on the yacht. The other two steamships could also supply them with daily necessities for half a year.
We were busy until dark. Everyone was physically tired but spiritually satisfied.
The next day, Jiang Si just woke up and went down to the yacht's living room. Niuniu ran over excitedly and said to her, "Sister, they've laid eggs! The hens and ducks have laid eggs!"
Jiang Si followed her to Steamer No. 1 and saw six chicken eggs and three duck eggs.
Niuniu picked one up and held it in her hand, smiling, "Sister, it's still warm!"
These chicken eggs and duck eggs carry everyone's hope for life, so Niu Niu is so happy.
Jiang Si touched her little face and said, "Fresh eggs are the best. How about we eat eggs today?"
Niuniu blinked shyly, "Niuniu doesn't need to eat the eggs. You can save the eggs for your chicks."
Jiang Si pointed to the ten hens in the cage and said, "There's no rooster. These eggs are all unfertilized and won't hatch chicks. We might as well eat them!"
Niuniu was stunned. As expected, she didn't see the rooster. Finally, she smiled and nodded: "Okay, then we will eat eggs."
Jiang Si took a basket, picked out the chicken and duck eggs, and then walked to the dairy goat to squeeze some goat milk.
Jiang Si gave the fresh chicken eggs and duck eggs to Shen Baoying, who happily recited several recipes for eggs and also wanted to make duck eggs into preserved eggs.
Three pounds of goat milk was squeezed out, and Shen Baoying specially cooked a bowl for Niu Niu, asking her to drink a bowl of fresh milk every day so that she could grow well.
The remaining goat milk is used to make milk tea, yogurt and milk candy.
At noon, Shen Baoying showed off her chef skills and played with eggs and existing ingredients in various ways.
Seeing the richer variety of dishes on the table, everyone ate one bite after another, feeling very satisfied. At the same time, they all hoped that the steamship could be organized and planned out quickly, so that more food and vegetables could be grown and more small animals could be raised.
They now have quite a few small animals, and they need to constantly collect water hyacinths to make feed.
But their consumption is still too high, especially the yellow cow, which needs 20 kilograms of grass a day. It cannot be fed grass every day, and it needs to have a snack occasionally and eat some coarse grains.
As the water hyacinths on the water surface decreased, everyone was wondering whether to slaughter the cattle when they suddenly saw a green reed field.
