Although they have money and can buy good ingredients, they still need to add additives to preserve anything. But these things are different now; they are all made by hand without any additives.
Hua Hua and Shu Yi's warehouse can also preserve food; it will be exactly the same as what's inside when you take it out, so you can always eat good food. They're making more now so they can eat with peace of mind in the future.
“You’re right, let’s rest for a couple of days before we start. It’s been more than ten days already, shouldn’t our older brother and the others go back to the cruise ship and rest for a couple of days as well?” An Shuyi said.
A few days ago, they had used a pager to inquire about their brother's situation, but it wasn't good. They could only stay on the outskirts looking for something, as going in was too dangerous, and they hadn't found much.
Moreover, they were unlucky; they encountered a python as soon as they arrived on the island. I heard they were all fine, but I don't know the specifics.
"Let's ask using the pager!" Xia Hua said.
Meanwhile, An Shuheng and his group were in a worse situation. They had just arrived on the island when they encountered a python. Not to mention the two girls, even the other researchers were screaming in terror.
It wasn't just one, it was two, each as thick as two people put together. They could swallow several people in one gulp, and you couldn't climb trees, or you'd be waiting to die. I told my wife to hide behind me and lead the men to charge up.
Fortunately, they were quick, had been working together for many years, and had excellent teamwork. They both aimed for the python's vital spot, even without knives, and finally used a bomb, throwing it into the python's belly to kill it.
Now they dare not go too far in, nor too close to the outside, because there are snakes in the water too. They can only search in little by little from the outside and sleep in the trees at night.
There weren't many things outside, just ordinary items. There were very few medicinal herbs. Plants were good, but the important thing was the medicinal herbs. But we could only start from the outside. After several days, we hadn't found any good medicinal herbs.
Finally, they decided to go a little deeper. Fortunately, nothing happened after they went in, but things went badly at night. Other things were fine, since they only appeared once, but a pack of wolves appeared at night.
The wolves seemed to have caught their scent and roamed around the trees, scaring everyone awake until dawn. They thought the wolves would leave when it got light, but they didn't.
The wolves had been waiting under the tree when a lion appeared. They immediately started fighting, and both sides were badly injured. The lion was killed, and only a few wolves remained before the lion left.
They thought they could come down from the tree after the wolf left, but soon other animals came smelling the blood. Fortunately, they ate the meat on the ground and left. But this happened several times, and they ended up staying in the tree all day.
Knowing that staying here was still unsafe, I quickly climbed down the tree before the animals arrived, relieved myself, ran a little further away, and climbed up other trees.
Because it was night, they dared not stay under the tree, nor dared to go too far. Although they left, there were still animals wandering around the area the next day, so they could not leave and could only stay on the tree.
It wasn't until the third day that they decided to return to the cruise ship, rest for a few days, and then come back to search. They intended to take out their pagers and ask their sister and the others to come to the cruise ship to pick them up, but unexpectedly, the pager lit up.
Upon learning that their older brother and the others were going on a cruise ship, the group quickly set off to pick them up. When they saw the group of people boarding, they found that they all smelled terrible and their clothes were filthy.
I don't want to ask about this situation; I'll wait until they've cleaned it up before making a decision.
It was already evening, so Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo went to cook. As for the others, Daqiang had already started cooking when he learned they were coming, and the others washed up and then cooked together.
After my older brother and the others finished washing up, the food was ready and brought to the dining room. We ate while listening to them talk.
After listening to them, An Shuyi said, "Big brother, it turns out that you've been up there for more than ten days and haven't found anything except some ordinary food and medicinal herbs."
Isn't this a bit too pitiful? The first few days they were too scared to go inside, and the next few days they could only hide in the trees and didn't dare to come down at all. And they couldn't even go far. My God, how can they complete the mission if this continues?
Don't leave empty-handed; otherwise, you'll have made a wasted trip.
An Shuheng said, "Let's search for a while longer. If that doesn't work, I'll take some people up there to look for it and bring the things back."
In the past few days, they have witnessed the danger of this place. If there were only a few animals, it would be manageable, but with one after another, even the most powerful animals cannot be killed off.
Xia Hua said, "We still have more than twenty days to go on the cruise ship. Brother, you can take some people up to look for them. Those people are fine on the cruise ship."
They still need to dry the seafood, so they won't be leaving the cruise ship for the next few days. When they go to the island, they'll send those people up to the island to find it.
"Okay, let's rest for two days first, then I'll pick some people to take up. Do you have any more medicine? Give me some."
An Shuyi nodded, "There's more, I'll give it to you after dinner." They hadn't used it much, so there was still plenty left.
"What have you been doing for the past ten days? Why didn't you go to the island?" An Shuheng asked.
Given their behavior, they shouldn't be staying so obediently on the cruise ship.
"Brother, we're drying seafood. We've dried quite a lot of abalone, oysters, and shrimp, but not many yet. We plan to continue drying them in the coming days. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so drying seafood is the perfect thing to do."
"Why do you need to dry so many? You can buy them outside too."
These things aren't rare or unusual; there's no need to waste time showing them off.
Xiao Yubai said, "Brother, those outside are all dried by others, and we don't even know if they're good or not. The ones we dry are all fresh, and we haven't added any additives. They're better than the ones outside."
"When we go out in the future, if the two of them want to eat it, we can make it without having to buy it. Besides, the weather is too hot, and we won't be staying on the island for long, so we can only dry the seafood in the sun. At least it will keep us cool."
An Shuheng thought about their warehouse and realized that he hadn't thought things through enough. It seemed that they were really clever to have thought of this. Shushu and Huahua's warehouse was so big, it was only right that they took more back with them.
"Alright, it was my oversight. You guys keep posting. Your sister-in-law can't cook, so please make her some when you're cooking."
Although his wife's family wasn't as well-off as his, they weren't bad either. They had a housekeeper, so naturally, she had never cooked. Since he was going to the island, he would have to ask his sister and brother-in-law for help.
Although his comrades could also eat, he had two younger sisters and brothers-in-law, so he would trouble his own family to feed his wife and the others, but he was worried that he would be too thin to be human when he came back in a few days.
The food on the island hasn't been good these past few days, but luckily I had some beef jerky and chocolate in my backpack, so I let her eat some every day and she didn't become skin and bones.
