Since the giant clam shells were too large to fit in the pot, Li Yinsheng simply piled them on the fire and roasted their shells directly with the flames.
As time passed, the giant clam shell slightly opened its two shells, a natural reaction caused by the heat penetrating inside and meeting the internal moisture. An indescribable aroma gradually filled the air, a fresh fragrance intertwined with the unique smoky aroma of being roasted by flames, incredibly enticing.
Finally, when the giant clam opened a tiny slit about two fingers wide, and the outermost shell turned golden brown and crispy, and the bubbling sound of the broth inside could be clearly heard, Li Yinsheng carefully pried open the giant clam shell with an axe.
Instantly, a rich steam, accompanied by an even more enticing aroma, burst forth. Inside, the broth was overflowing with milky white liquid, the meat was as white as jade, its color was tempting, and its fragrance was irresistible.
Li Yinsheng gently scooped up a spoonful of soup with a specially made wooden spoon. The soup was clear yet mellow. After gently blowing on it to cool it down, she put it in her mouth, and a warm and delicious flavor instantly bloomed on her taste buds.
The broth is initially savory with a hint of sweetness, followed by an explosion of seafood flavor in the mouth, and finally leaves a unique marine taste of giant clam, making it unforgettable.
"It's ready to eat, it's delicious. Even without any seasoning, it tastes very fresh and sweet. It's a pity we didn't have any seasoning to remove the fishy smell, otherwise it would taste even better." Li Yinsheng invited Hu Ge, Dilraba, and Wu Lei to eat.
The three of them smelled the aroma of roasted giant clam shells, and their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger. After hearing Li Yinsheng say that they could eat, they each grabbed their tools and started eating.
The utensils for eating were the same as when Group A first went to Jinsha Island: using tree branches as chopsticks and cut mineral water bottles as containers.
"It smells so sweet and delicious, it's so good!" Dilraba praised as she ate, first drinking the soup and then eating the meat.
“This giant clam is a first-class protected marine animal in China. After this meal, you may never be able to eat it again in your life. Eat more!” Brother Hu put a piece of giant clam meat on Dilraba’s chopsticks and said.
Li Yinsheng gazed at the jade-white giant clam meat. Its texture was delicate, with clear patterns. With a gentle bite, one could feel its unique elasticity and freshness, which complemented the rich broth, creating an unparalleled delicacy.
Li Yinsheng couldn't help but marvel at how this seemingly simple cooking method brought out the deliciousness of the giant clam to its fullest extent, leaving people with an unforgettable aftertaste.
"Watching Group C eat giant clam meat, I wonder what it tastes like! I'm a little curious!"
"Upstairs, giant clams have a delicious taste, tender texture, and a certain elasticity. They are flavorful and nutritious. It's similar to eating oysters; if you buy oysters and eat them, you'll get the taste of giant clams."
"Every time I see Fatty and the others eating, I feel like I have a super good appetite! Even the people watching them have an increased appetite."
"And she's incredibly energetic at work, scoring over sixty points—that's top-notch efficiency!"
"Today, Fatty worked in Group C and earned over sixty points. She's looking forward to seeing what items Group A will exchange for tomorrow."
The viewers in the live stream started discussing it, praising the chubby girl's diligence and efficiency, while also expressing their longing for the giant clam feast prepared by Group C.
After eating and drinking their fill, they slept soundly in the comfortable shelter for the night, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Li Yinsheng got up while Hu Ge and the other two were still asleep. After washing up, she picked up a hoe and began to trim the seedlings planted by Group C.
The seedlings planted in group C were mostly knocked over and twisted by the typhoon, some even uprooted, revealing a mess of soil.
She crouched down and carefully lifted up each of the fallen seedlings, gently tamping the roots with soil to ensure they could re-take root in the soil.
For the seedlings that were blown down or uprooted by the typhoon, Li Yinsheng carefully replanted their roots, dug holes, dug soil, and watered them. For some seedlings that needed to grow on tree trunks, Li Yinsheng also cut branches to build temporary supports for them.
Sunlight gradually pierced through the clouds, illuminating Li Yinsheng's busy figure. The golden light mingled with the sweat on her forehead, making her appear exceptionally radiant. She would occasionally stop to wipe the sweat from her face with her sleeve.
As time went by, the once messy and devastated vegetable garden gradually returned to order, with rows of neat seedlings standing tall in the sunlight, looking vibrant.
Li Yinsheng looked at her work with satisfaction, a smile unconsciously spreading across her face, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Just then, Hu Ge and the other two woke up one after another. They were surprised by the scene before them, and their goodwill towards Li Yinsheng deepened even further.
Whether she was deliberately putting on a show or acting out of genuine concern, what she did for Group C was undeniably beneficial to them.
"Fatty, you're really something! The vegetable garden looks brand new after you've tidied it up, even more vibrant than before the typhoon!" Brother Hu said with a smile as he stepped forward.
"I came here to work for you, and I had nothing to do. When I saw your seedlings looking so pitiful, I couldn't help but clean them up."
This morning we ate the fish we grilled yesterday. We'll then go wander around the areas where pheasants are known to frequent, to see if we can find any pheasants or other food we can eat.” Li Yinsheng was still thinking about completing the tasks assigned by the system, so she made arrangements for the day.
Hu Ge and the others naturally had no objections. Yesterday, all the food available was found by Fatty. They now had complete trust in Li Yinsheng's abilities and were willing to follow her to find food.
After finishing breakfast, it was already 8:00 AM, time to redeem.
"It's time to exchange items at 8:00 AM. Each survival team can exchange them on their own. Friendly reminder: some items can only be exchanged once, first come, first served." At this moment, He Jiong's voice sounded from the drone above Li Yinsheng and the others.
"Exchange for one jin of rice." Yesterday, Brother Hu and his group exchanged items, starting with five jin of rice. As expected, they didn't have enough points. They then exchanged for three jin of rice for three points, which was successful. But when they wanted to exchange for one jin of rice for one point, they didn't have enough points. This also means that Tangtang only earned three points yesterday, which was used to exchange for three jin of rice for their Group C.
After a night, Brother Hu and the others knew Tangtang's abilities and had given up hope. Now they were placing all their hopes on Li Yinsheng, so they might as well follow her and get more food.
I directly redeemed one kilogram of rice for one point.
Congratulations on your successful redemption.
"Exchange for another pound of dragon beard powder."
"Insufficient points".
Hearing that they didn't have enough points, Hu Ge, Dilraba, and Wu Lei weren't surprised or disappointed. They had thought that Tangtang might not get a single point after a whole night, but they were surprised to find that she could still exchange for a pound of rice, which was a pleasant surprise for them.
Compared to Tangtang's team going to work, they were living a life of luxury with Fatty, and it seemed like they had made a profit.
