“There are still many. I’ll take the box to pick them. You guys keep digging. But there are still a lot of sugarcane and pomelos. We’ll go cut them together tomorrow.”
He could cut and pick the fruit himself, but he needed too many baskets. If they came along, it would be faster, and they could put the fruit in the warehouse as soon as they finished picking, which would also make things less tiring.
"You go pick the August fruit first, and we'll go pick them together tomorrow," Xia Hua said, before continuing to dig for ginseng.
“Okay.” Cheng Yumo carried the sack to An Shuyi’s side, handed her the things, and then took two storage boxes to pick August fruit, as one box probably wouldn’t be enough.
After a long time, he returned carrying a storage box, and then took an empty storage box with him. Because there were too many, the storage boxes were not enough to hold them all. It wasn't until evening that the group finally dug out what they had dug up.
"Honey, come over here when you've dug them up and put these potatoes in the warehouse." There are just too many potatoes, and carrying them over would be too tiring, so it's better to have her come and pack them.
An Shuyi nodded, packed the ginseng into a box, and then went over to him. She noticed that the potatoes on the ground weren't packed in sacks at all; they were just piled up on the ground, creating a huge pile.
It seems he needs a separate storage compartment, because if he puts it in sacks, he'll need too many sacks. No wonder he didn't pack it; he must have felt he didn't bring enough of what he needed.
Place your hand on the potatoes, and they disappear. Take out the potatoes you found earlier, pour them out, and put them together with the ones you just found.
There are so many, enough to eat for a long time. The previous ones should weigh more than 10,000 jin in total. The potatoes are really too big, each one weighs seven or eight jin.
Although there are many, we can see them later, but we still have to keep digging. After all, it's not easy to find such delicious potatoes in modern times. They are just a bit big, so we can only cut them into small pieces and boil, or stir-fry or deep-fry them.
As for grilling, it's just barbecuing. If you grill a whole thing, it won't cook through.
After putting the August fruits that Yu Mo picked into the warehouse, he went back up the tree, washed up quickly, ate, rested, and went to sleep. The next day, he went to cut sugarcane and pick pomelos.
He chopped off a sugarcane with a large knife, peeled off the outer skin, took a bite, and exclaimed, "It's so sweet! Do you want to try some?" An Shuyi asked.
Yu Mo cut one yesterday and put it in the warehouse. She hadn't even tasted it yet. She was just afraid it wouldn't be sweet, so she took a bite. She didn't expect it to be so sweet.
One look at those sugarcane plants reveals a vast expanse. If they were to take them all back, it would be enough to feed them for a lifetime. There's just too much of it, and they're all enormous. Each person would only need a small section, since even a small section is quite large.
Xia Hua took a bite of the part she had cut off. "It's very sweet. Just take a bite. You can eat the rest. You two can try it, and we'll cut more later."
“You two cut it down and pile it on the ground. We’ll cut it into smaller pieces and put it in a basket. Otherwise, it’s so long, we need a lot of space to take it out each time.”
Their warehouse can hold it, but it's too big to take out without a suitable place. If the space isn't big enough, it simply can't be taken out.
Cheng Yumo cut a section from the middle of the sugarcane that Shuyi had cut. "Okay, but it's too big for you to cut easily. Yu Bai and I will cut it down and then cut it into smaller pieces. You can just put it in the basket."
Their hands are so big they can't even lift the sugarcane, let alone the sugarcane. It would be better to just cut it into smaller pieces; it wouldn't take much time.
Xia Hua nodded, "Okay, Shu Shu, take out one of the pomelos that Yu Mo picked yesterday, taste it first, and pick more if it's sweet."
Yesterday he was so busy picking them that he didn't even think about tasting them if they weren't sweet.
An Shuyi spat out the sugarcane pulp, "Okay!" Then she took out the pomelos she had picked yesterday and handed her the knife.
I took the pomelo and knife, put them on the ground and started cutting. I cut it in half, revealing the red inside. I cut one half into several pieces, took one piece, peeled it, then peeled off the inner peel and took a bite.
"How is it? Sweet?"
Seeing her curious look, I put the peeled pomelo to her lips and said, "Try it yourself!"
He put the sugarcane down, took a bite from her hand, and said, "It's a little sour, probably because I ate sugarcane, but it's also sweet and delicious. You can pick it."
It's amazing that such a big pomelo is so sweet. One slice is enough for a whole family, and there's plenty of it.
"It's sweet. It's much easier to pick than sugarcane. We'll pick more after we've finished cutting down the sugarcane, but that should be tomorrow."
It's already quite an achievement that we were able to cut down so much sugarcane today. Not only did we have to cut it down, but we also had to cut it into smaller pieces, which was a huge waste of time.
"I'll start after I finish this sugarcane!" An Shuyi said, continuing to gnaw on it, as it was just too sweet.
"No rush, take your time eating!" Yu Mo and Yu Bai were also eating, but one was eating pomelo and the other was eating sugarcane. Anyway, there was no rush, they would cut the sugarcane after they finished eating.
After everyone finished eating, they put away the leftovers and started chopping. An Shuyi took out a basket, picked up the small pieces of sugarcane from the ground, and stacked them neatly so that they could hold more.
Although there were no animals to disturb us, it wasn't until dark that we finished cutting all the sugarcane. Our hands started to tremble, and our backs ached so much that we couldn't straighten up.
"This is enough for us to eat for a lifetime. If I see this again, I won't want it anymore. It's too tiring." They have been on the island for more than 20 days without a single day of rest.
Although the weather was gloomy, it never rained, so she never went back to the cruise ship. Besides the hassle of going back, she also had too much stuff and didn't want to go back. She would look for a few more days, but she had to go back to rest for a few days.
Xia Hua nodded, "Okay, the weather hasn't been good these past few days. If the weather is better in a few days, we'll go back to the cruise ship, dry some wild mushrooms, and rest for a few days."
After so many days, she felt exhausted. Only Yu Mo and the other person seemed to be in good spirits, after all, they had internal energy.
"Okay, let's wash up first and then eat." After saying that, she let Yu Bai carry her up the tree. She was too tired and didn't want to take a bath. She just washed up quickly, then ate and went to sleep.
The next morning, they got up early and went to pick pomelos. Today they didn't have to cut or work because Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo simply picked the pomelos and put them in baskets for them to store in the warehouse. They didn't have to lift a finger.
Because they were so bored, she ended up letting the two of them, her and Huahua, dig for ginseng. Perhaps because there was so much ginseng, they didn't care whether the roots would be broken or not, and just swung their small hoes and dug.
After all the pomelos were picked, they dug out a few ginseng roots. Although some of the roots were broken, they were still edible and had the same effect. In the following days, they dug up any medicinal herbs with hoes.
As long as you are careful and don't dig them up in half, it doesn't matter if a few roots are damaged. After a few days, the amount of medicinal herbs you dig up will increase many times over, filling several storage boxes with each kind, and not many will be damaged.
They were all wondering if they had been too careful before; in fact, those medicinal herbs didn't need to be so careful and could have been dug up directly.
