Chapter 159 Warm-Up Together (1/2)

“But this dish is not cruel at all! Is it cruel to use sausage?” Lu Hua recalled the flavor of that dish while speaking in a cold voice.

Xiaolu grinned and said, “There is a popular joke among Guangdong people that claypot rice is the cruelest dish. In Cantonese, “Zai” means “son”. Claypot rice means to cook your own son. Is it not cruel enough?”

Lu Hua said with a smile, “You’re playing a trick. If you really cooked your son in this dish, you can be the winner.”

Xiaolu was also drenched with ice, but fortunately, he was young and strong. He did not feel bad.

Long Xi was the winner in the end. She not only avoid losing her chips, but also won a good meal for her three teammates. That meal was precious for those who had been on that desert island for a long time.

She said, “There are still a lot of beef balls left from the batch I made while the soup could be the water to be had along with them. Xiaolu made one more pot of claypot rice deliberately. Xiaolu, brother Wangchuan, and Bai Bing, you can eat first. I will make you some more vegetables and scallion beef for you.”

Bai Bing said, “I have looked around but found no name brands there. There is a simple bedroom, which can be considered as a kind of equipment. Shall we get there to have some rest?”

Long Xi and the others were also tired, so they agreed in unison.

Yan Wangchuan said, “I have eaten some when I tried the dishes, so I am not that hungry now. Xiaolongnv, you should eat more.”

Xiaolu also said, “Master Xi, you just had a package of instant noodles and must have consumed them for a long while. You have never tasted my claypot rice before. Now, have a try! I don’t need to eat anything, because I also secretly ate a lot when trying the dishes.”

Long Xi was cooking some vegetables with the meat soup and saying with a smile, “I also ate something when trying the dishes and don’t feel hungry. Brother Lu and brother Wangchuan, you should eat more. Men will always consume more energy! Bai Bing, you should eat at once, because you have eaten nothing all this time!”

Bai Bing did not refuse, sitting down and starting to swallow the food. She was hungry indeed!

Yan Wangchuan could not persuade Long Xi, so he had to eat some.

Xiaolu looked at granny Piao who was trembling near the corner and felt worried. He took his food over to her and asked her to have it.

Granny Piao tried to refuse, but Xiaolu was quite sincere, so she expressed her appreciation and ate it all.

Lu Hua said, “You don’t have to worry too much about food. They asked me to design two games and both are related to food. At noon tomorrow, if you won’t find any other food, you can come back to play another game.”

Long Xi made a scallion beef while saying with laughter, “Ah, Uncle Lu, you really are our savior! If we feel hungry, we can come to you and don’t have to worry about food!”

Lu Hua said, “But as far as I know, all the games on this island can only be played once per person. Moreover, only my games and the Wait For You To Fall In the Trap designed by Qiuzi are related to food.”

Long Xi had finished her cooking and served them the delicious scallion beef, saying, “Oh, I have played the game of poisonous instant noodles. I still feel scared about it. A woman’s mind is always the most unpredictable thing in this world! Fortunately, I am not a woman, but an invincible beauty!”

Yan Wangchuan was eating while saying with a smile, “I remember that the first dish you learned was my favorite scallion beef. I haven’t tasted it for a few years, so I really miss the taste!”

Long Xi said sincerely, “Brother Wangchuan, you should eat more! I also miss our childhood, when we were in a pure world without complex motivations! However, we can’t go back!”

Yan Wangchuan was stunned and lowered his head. He nearly ate all the scallion beef. He knew what Long Xi tried to express in her words, but he did not want to understand it!

Long Xi said, “I think the most important thing for us now is to find some water. Seawater surrounds us, but it can be drunk. We can’t not survive without water. Without food, we can still live for three weeks. Therefore, water should be the priority to think about. Have you bottled up the mineral water? Give me the bottles, and I can collect some rainwater.”

Bai Bing handed the empty mineral water bottle to her and said disgustedly, “Can we drink the rainwater? Isn’t it dirty?”

Long Xi took their empty bottles and said seriously, “Normally, we can only drink the water after sterilizing it. But when we are in urgent situations like these, we can only choose to drink it. I can collect some in case of emergency. It will be better to find some clean water later.”

She collected some rain. After they finished the meal, it was already three o’clock in the morning.

The rain stopped; a few players walked inside, drenched, with wounds on their bodies. The smell of blood and rain mixed in the air.

After they listened to the rules, they started to play that game.

Xiaolu dragged granny Piao aside and said in Korean, “Do you want to have a rest? There is a bedroom inside.”

Granny Piao gratefully nodded.

Bai Bing took them to the front of the innermost hole.

Long Xi saw there was a simple but spacious bedroom. Besides, there was a wooden door that could be locked from the inside. Straw mats were placed on the ground while a battery lamp was standing over the corner. It was turned on.

The five walked in and locked the door, lying on the mat to rest.

Xiaolu showed his care to granny Piao and asked her to join them.

Both Yan Wangchuan and Bai Bing were opposed to it; only Long Xi agreed with him.

That two-to-two stalemate made the atmosphere embarrassing.

Long Xi was really sleepy and said, “Tomorrow is another new day! We should have some rest and make a decision tomorrow!”

Yan Wangchuan yawned and said with a smile, “I agree!”
