Chapter 357: [355] Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 207 (3 updates)

These people busied themselves for three whole days before finally getting the cave and farmland in order. They even put five hens that were laying eggs into the chicken coop, exuding an extremely strong farmhouse atmosphere. They planted seedlings such as green vegetables, green beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, chili, eggplant, cucumber, and tomato in the fields.

They brought two hundred pounds of rice, two hundred pounds of flour, one hundred pounds of millet, one hundred pounds of cornmeal, and fifty pounds of corn kernels this time. All these grains were enough to last the three of them well over half a year without any issues. What’s more, they were by the sea and could be self-sufficient. Xiao Yu’s nutrition didn’t need to be a concern at all.

After observing for three days, Yan Qing realized that the island was particularly abundant with wild chickens and rabbits. The sheep also seemed to reproduce quickly, much more than before. With Aya’s skills, bringing home some game to cook was no problem at all.

With his wife’s nutritional needs assured, Yan Qing felt relieved and led the people away.

There were originally two wooden beds in the cave, and taking advantage of the men’s presence, they nailed together another wooden bed. Although all three were living in the cave, each had their own space because they each hung a curtain around them, similar to those in hospitals, offering quite a bit of privacy.

Xiao Yu slept in her original spot, with Yaya next to her. As for Aya, since there was no more room on that side, she had to find another place to settle down.

Aya was about four or five meters away from her spot, which was just right. If Aya had to sleep right beside her, she might not dare enter the space – after all, someone skilled in martial arts has incredibly sensitive hearing.

On the day Yan Qing left, Xiao Yu felt somewhat reluctant, but he tapped her on the head and said, "Stop putting on airs. I know you can’t wait for me to leave."

Xiao Yu chuckled silly, "If you could agree to let the island produce, that would be even better."

Yan Qing immediately gave her a cold look and glared at her irritably, "Don’t push your luck, we’ll talk about this later."

After Yan Qing left, the three sisters went to the seaside to gather seafood and picked up quite a lot of good stuff, especially oysters which had grown densely on the rocks again, and all were exceptionally large.

So, that evening, the three of them sat at the stone table under the cave, eating barbecue – grilling sea shrimp, oysters, sea eels, grouper, clams, crab, and so on. Crab was too cold and not suitable for a pregnant woman, so she didn’t taste it at all, even though having a little would have been fine. However, she was cautious; this pregnancy hadn’t come easy, and she dared not indulge.

Then she ate so many oysters that she felt stuffed. It was a pity she couldn’t eat them with vermicelli, which would have tasted even better. They grilled them directly, without any condiments, and still, they were incredibly tasty. It had been a long while since they had experienced such a life, with even Yaya and Aya unable to help sighing, "Living here is truly wonderful!"

Isn’t it wonderful?

The next day, Xiao Yu bought some corn seeds from her "space" and planted them in another piece of untilled land. She only burned the grass on the surface and did not get the chance to plow it, but she relied on the resilience of the "space" seeds, so she did not even bother tilling the soil. She simply dug a hole with a small shovel and threw in the corn seeds.

She wanted to eat sticky corn, especially the black-purple sticky corn. Since the seeds were quite expensive, she only planted fifty kernels. She also dared not throw them all in at once, in case they couldn’t be eaten soon enough, so she used an approach of planting two or three kernels each day. With a larger row gap, she wasn’t worried about them overshadowing each other due to different growth rates.
