Xia Hua said, "As long as you can protect yourself and your girlfriend, that's fine, big brother. As for us, you don't need to worry about us. And your men, find some brave ones."
Don't be scared when you first arrive on the island and see the animals. After all, those animals are really big, and a human next to them is just a small cat.
"Don't worry, the people I brought are fine. Shucheng, keep a close eye on the cruise ship you bought for them. Take it there when you go, and I'll buy you a new one when you come back."
It's a bit late to buy now, the equipment inside isn't ready yet, but he's already placed the order, paid a third of the money, and it'll be open as soon as they get back.
An Shucheng nodded, "Don't worry, brother, I've been keeping an eye on it. It will definitely be ready before you leave."
Actually, it's almost done, but these two girls can't stay still. If we had a cruise ship, they'd be like wild horses, definitely going to go everywhere. So we'll postpone it for a while.
Cheng Yumo suddenly asked, "Should we send Shuyi?"
An Shuyi nodded, "Of course I'll go. Dad already agreed. You can't leave me alone. I want to go too. Besides, Huahua's warehouse is too small. You definitely can't bring back all those herbs, fruits, and plants."
“I’ll go with you. We’ll clear out the unused stuff from the warehouse and take as much as we want. The warehouse is so big, it might not even be able to hold all the weapons.”
Xia Hua glanced at her and said, "It's not safe for you to go. My warehouse isn't as small as you say. If I clear out all the stuff, I can still store a lot, but it won't be like yours where you can stack things."
She had so many things inside, and they were all mixed up: pots and pans, cooking utensils, a dining table, chairs and stools, food and other necessities—it was a lot of stuff.
Unlike Shushu, who keeps her things neatly stacked together in storage boxes, she just leaves them lying around, making it a hassle to find them every time.
Mom also said, "Honey, why don't you not go? Snakes are scary, even I'm afraid of them. It's better to stay home. Like Yu Mo said, you can go out and play with your friends."
"It's better not to go to such a dangerous place. It's much better to stay at home. If you ask me, Hua Hua shouldn't go either. Let Yu Bai and the others take her to the place and then come back."
All she wanted was for her two daughters to be safe and sound; she didn't care about any research findings.
"Mom, I want to go. With Yu Bai there, he won't let anything happen to me. As for being afraid of snakes, I'll bring more realgar and sprinkle it on all the small islands."
Xia Hua laughed, "The snakes there aren't afraid of realgar. Don't let it choke you and then you'll end up scattering it everywhere. You can't possibly manage to scatter it all over the place."
That silly woman, she'll come up with any trick in the book just to get there, without even considering that those snakes are afraid of realgar. It's ridiculous.
"Then use poison. I have plenty here, enough to last a long time."
"Whatever you want, just don't end up being so scared of snakes that you hide in a corner and can't sleep at night, haha!"
An Shuyi looked at her gloating expression and said, "Of course not. I'll just drop a bomb. After the New Year, we'll make more bombs. We still have some in the warehouse, but more would be better."
"We'll also take out all the vegetables from the warehouse and cook them into meals. We'll give the fruit to my parents. I'll also clear out fifty more compartments in the warehouse so they can fill them up however they like."
Dad suddenly asked, "You guys can make bombs? I didn't know!"
"Of course, those bombs are very simple. We've made them many times and they've never failed."
"You two are really brave. How can you do anything? Aren't you afraid of getting the proportions wrong and hurting yourselves?"
"Dad, don't worry, it won't happen. It's just a bomb. If it explodes, we can get out of the way."
An Shuheng said, "What you're doing is too dangerous. I'll try to get some for you. Don't make it yourselves. I'll also provide weapons. If you need anything, I'll get it for you."
“We make hundreds of bombs at a time, brother. How many can you give me? Or maybe we should just forget it. We can make them, nothing will happen. As for weapons, we have those too,” Xia Hua said.
They didn't need any of these things, so there was no need for them to take them from their older brother, which would only put him in a difficult position.
"Alright, then you guys do it yourselves, but be careful."
He originally wanted to give some to them, but there were hundreds, so he decided against it. He could manage a few dozen, but weapons would require an application. He decided to bring more, just in case there wasn't enough.
"Mom, can we cut some fruit to eat later? I'll bring the rest to your room, okay?"
Aunt An nodded, "Okay, but how much do you have left? There are still a few months left, so you can take a smaller amount at a time."
"There's still a lot left. I haven't counted it exactly. I'll just take it slowly and wait for the chefs at home to come back so they can help me process all the meat in my warehouse into dishes."
I originally thought they should do it themselves, but then I thought better of it. There's too much for them to handle. Since they're cleaning out the warehouse, I'll just finish it all. I'll also make some of the vegetables and wild mushrooms.
Once you have fifty storage slots freed up, you can squeeze the rest together and stack them on top of each other. If you can't squeeze them in, just eat them up or throw them away.
"Then let's wait for the chefs to come back and then have them make it. Don't take it all out at once, take some each day. Too much will tire the chefs out. I'll give them extra pay each day."
"Okay, thank you, Mom!"
"You're too kind. Now that things are settled, let's eat. There's so much food, we should eat more."
"Mom, eat too!" After a few bites of food, she picked up her glass and downed another glass of wine.
After finishing the meal, the dishes on the table were barely touched. There were just too many dishes; we only took a bite of each kind before we were almost done, not to mention the large portions.
"Mom and Dad, you can sit and digest your food. We'll take care of the cleanup!"
Aunt An nodded, "Alright, then you can do it, but do you know how?"
She had only ever seen her daughter wash vegetables; she had never seen her do anything else. Unlike Hua Hua, who could wash and chop vegetables and cook all sorts of dishes, she was much better than Shu Shu.
"Mom, don't underestimate me. Of course I can, it's just that I don't have the opportunity. We have a nanny at home, so I don't have to do it. But back in ancient times, I would still wash things."
“Okay, you guys wash up, we’ll go to the living room.” She then pulled her husband away.
Only a few people remained. They started cleaning up. The food would be eaten tomorrow, so it had to be put away. They couldn't eat it on time. Then they washed the dishes and chopsticks. The wok used for cooking had already been cleaned and put away by the housekeeper, so they didn't need to wash it.
The group worked together, washing dishes and cleaning the floor. Before long, they had finished cleaning. An Shuyi took out some fruit from the warehouse, washed it, and cut it up for Xia Hua.
The peanuts, melon seeds, nuts, and tea were all prepared. The group went to the living room to stay up all night, watching TV, chatting, drinking tea, and eating melon seeds. It was a lively scene.
