After returning to Group A, Li Yinsheng began tending to the vegetable garden she had planted.
Earlier, Li Yinsheng had instructed them to fertilize, loosen the soil, and pull weeds, and the leader and Liu Yifei strictly followed her instructions.
Upon arriving at the vegetable garden, Li Yinsheng squatted down and carefully examined the growth of each vegetable. She found that the vegetables they planted were growing very well. In addition to the daily fertilization and watering playing a significant role, the weather on Jinsha Island was very hot, and the location of the vegetable garden was very suitable for growing vegetables. As a result, the vegetables, which had only been planted for ten days, were already lush and green, with scattered flower buds among the green leaves. The vines of cowpeas and cucumbers had already quietly climbed up the trellises that had been prepared in advance.
Li Yinsheng cut off all the leaves at the bottom of the chili seedlings, eggplant seedlings, and tomato seedlings to allow nutrients to be supplied to the upper parts, so that they can better absorb sunlight and nutrients and promote upward growth.
After finishing tending to the vegetables in the garden, she went to check on the water spinach and lettuce growing by the stream. She saw that the water spinach was growing even better and could be picked and eaten now. Picking the water spinach would encourage it to sprout more horizontal branches, and the more she picked, the more it would grow and produce.
Li Yinsheng was secretly delighted. She hadn't expected that vegetables could grow so fast in an environment like Jinsha Island. She picked the tender shoots and planned to stir-fry the water spinach for lunch.
Just as she was busy picking fruit, the cult leader and Liu Yifei arrived one after another.
Seeing the fresh vegetables in Li Yinsheng's hand, Liu Yifei stepped forward and asked, "Fatty, these water spinach are growing very well, but they won't grow back if you pinch them? Shouldn't we wait for them to grow a little longer before eating them?"
"After water spinach is pinched off, horizontal branches will grow from the pinched area, and it will grow more and more lush. So, pinching off the tips is usually used to promote its branching growth. Of course, the first water spinach to be picked is the freshest."
"But water spinach grows very quickly. In just a few days, new tender leaves will sprout up one after another, filling the gaps left by the pinching. The more often you pinch it, the faster it grows," Li Yinsheng explained patiently, the water spinach in her hand still bearing the morning dew, looking exceptionally fresh and tender.
"I see." Liu Yifei and the cult leader nodded upon hearing this.
“Every plant has its own growth habits and patterns. Only by understanding these can we better care for them and help them grow strong.” Li Yinsheng stopped what she was doing and patiently explained to the two of them.
"Aren't you going to play mahjong anymore?" Li Yinsheng asked without looking up.
"We play mahjong almost every day, but after playing for so many days, I'm getting a little tired of it." Liu Yifei paused as she helped Li Yinsheng pick water spinach.
"Tired of it? Then I'll find you something fun?" Li Yinsheng looked at Liu Yifei suspiciously, somewhat doubting her claim of being tired of it. Given Liu Yifei's mahjong addiction, she wouldn't get tired of it so quickly after only five or six days of playing.
Huang Xiaoming, who was standing to the side, suppressed a laugh when he heard Liu Yifei say she was tired of it. What a plausible excuse! She was clearly losing at mahjong every day.
When Liu Yifei said she was tired of playing mahjong, the live stream chat became incredibly lively and filled with comments.
"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter. Even a celestial being gets tired of playing mahjong. She clearly loses every day and doesn't want to play anymore."
"Sisi, your Group A has mahjong for entertainment, that's already amazing. Look at the other groups? They're having a tough time."
"Sisi is both bad at the game and loves to play."
"Looking forward to the funny stuff the chubby girl says?"

"We can build a boat so we can go deep-sea fishing during the day. We can also set up an automatic fishing device on the beach, and put a few deck chairs under the shade of coconut trees by the sea, where we can relax, drink coconut juice and fruit, and enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze."
While enjoying themselves, they can also use the automatic fishing device to catch fish, so they can have fun and eat at the same time. Li Yinsheng had long had the idea of building a boat to go deep-sea fishing and spearfishing.
This idea became even stronger, especially after Group C went out to sea by boat to spearfish in the deep sea.
Li Yinsheng's suggestion immediately stirred up ripples in the hearts of the leader and Liu Yifei, their eyes sparkling with longing and excitement.
"I think this is feasible. An automatic fishing device, and lying on the beach, sunbathing, enjoying the sea breeze, and the afterglow of the sunset. I also want to go deep-sea fishing," Liu Yifei said, her eyes lighting up.
“Okay, everything is arranged for tomorrow. This afternoon, you guys bring back as much timber and bamboo as possible.” After Li Yinsheng finished picking the water spinach and watering it, the three of them headed towards the shelter.
After returning to the shelter, I told Li Xiang, Zhao Liying, and Zhang Yixing about these two things, and they naturally had no objections.
After lunch, the six of them got busy again.
Li Yinsheng led Li Xiang to first make and build the deck chairs. As for the boat, it would need to be built by the sea, because they would need to collect some buoys, foam boxes and other things to increase buoyancy and ensure the safety and stability of the boat.
........
After returning to his camp, Xiao Huang, an amateur who was transferred from Group B to Group A, clearly noticed that the atmosphere in the camp was somewhat heavy.
Xiao Huang knew the reason: when she was exchanging for Group A, she didn't find much food or earn many points, so she couldn't exchange for many survival supplies provided by the program team for Group B.
"Xiao Huang, you're back? Come sit down and have breakfast." Yang Mi knew that the survival expert and fishing expert in their group were both aiming for the championship and the prize money. This time, Xiao Huang didn't earn many points, so they didn't get to exchange for any supplies. The two experts were a little unhappy.
Yang Mi could understand Xiao Huang. As an amateur, Xiao Huang couldn't find much food or exchange for many points if she went to other groups. However, if she and Song Qian were sent, the result would probably be the same as Xiao Huang's.
The second son doesn't laugh at the eldest.
Xiao Huang forced a smile, walked over and sat down next to Yang Mi, saying, "Sister Mi, I had breakfast in Group A and came back."
"Xiao Huang, how many people are left in Group A? What's the situation? What supplies have you exchanged these past few days? How's the food storage situation?" Song Qian received a signal from Yang Mi and took over the conversation, asking the questions the two experts wanted to hear.
"The shelter built by Group A is a mortise and tenon joint shelter, spacious and comfortable. They also have six other people and plenty of food. In the past three days, Group A has exchanged for fifteen jin of dragon beard powder, fifteen jin of mung beans, fifteen jin of flour, ten jin of rice, five jin of garlic, fifteen jin of beef, and... and a guitar, a solar-powered heater." After mentioning Group A, Xiao Huang seemed unusually excited. Then, as if remembering something, her smile suddenly vanished, and she cautiously glanced at the two experts.
