After the boat docked, the straw hat fishermen guarding the dock came forward to take a look. After recognizing that the person driving the boat was Shen Yichen, they returned to the temporary tent and fell asleep.
"You go take a shower, I'll make breakfast soon." Chen Yuanyuan pointed to the bathroom.
After Shen Yichen entered the bathroom, the heater and bathroom heater had already been turned on, and the water in the hot water heater had been boiled. Bath supplies and a set of pajamas were placed in front of the dressing mirror.
Shen Yichen, who had been tired all night, felt warm in his heart. If it were not the end of the world, life like this would be quite good.
After washing away the fishy smell, Chen Yuanyuan was already sitting at the dining table waiting.
"Breakfast was cooked just now. I put it in the empty space first to avoid it getting cold." Chen Yuanyuan said.
After Chen Yuanyuan placed two portions of jelly fish fillet with scrambled eggs and salad on the dining table, she took out a cup of Shen Yichen's favorite hot mandarin duck and her own hot milk.
"Thank you for your hard work. Next time you are tired, just ask me to cook or just eat something." Shen Yichen said distressedly knowing that Chen Yuanyuan was also tired all night.
Just when Shen Yichen picked up the hot mandarin duck and was about to take a sip, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly called him to stop.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yichen asked.
"Will you be unable to sleep after drinking Yuanyang?" Chen Yuanyuan remembered that Yuanyang is made from coffee and milk tea, and was afraid that Shen Yichen would not be able to catch up on his sleep later.
"It's okay, Yuanyang is still leaking milk. Now I can sleep even if you give me a cup of Espresso." Shen Yichen smiled and took a sip of the hot Yuanyang.
"I don't have Espresso, but I can get you a cup of extra-thick sugar-free iced Americano." Chen Yuanyuan smiled and took out a cup of sugar-free iced Americano.
Chen Yuanyuan has never seen anyone who can still sleep after drinking espresso so early in the morning, so since he has a tough mouth, he might as well have a drink.
"I was wrong, it's just right, haha." Shen Yichen was immediately frightened when he saw Chen Yuanyuan coming.
Seeing Shen Yichen's immediate surrender, he laughed happily.
The Jelly Fish Steak is made by Chen Yuanyuan using the seabass meat he caught just now. The tender fish meat is wrapped in crispy bread crumbs, and the high temperature locks in the juice of the fish meat.
The fish fillet lightly marinated with salt and white pepper has no fishy smell, and paired with Chen Yuanyuan's special tartar sauce, it just relieves the greasiness of deep-frying.
The salad uses vegetables grown in Chen Yuanyuan's space and is paired with black vinegar sauce. The sweet and sour taste makes people's fingers lick, and the tender scrambled eggs sprinkled with a thin layer of pepper and salt are the finishing touch.
"It's okay, just do whatever you want." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"You can cook it casually and it tastes so delicious. You can be a chef in a restaurant." Shen Yichen praised it.
Chen Yuanyuan didn't tell him that this was done deliberately and carefully. There were also seven or eight pieces of Gillette fish fillets that were not very good-looking fried.
Before the end of the world, Chen Yuanyuan cooked prawns with tomato sauce for Shen Yichen to eat. The sauce was too sour at that time, but she didn't particularly mind it at the time.
Now that her relationship with Shen Yichen has made some progress, Chen Yuanyuan has unconsciously begun to look forward to Shen Yichen's evaluation.
Shen Yichen and Chen Yuanyuan were leisurely eating breakfast on the slightly rocking boat while chatting about picking up their children tomorrow.
After breakfast, it was already past six in the morning. Before the official ship came to pick up the children tomorrow, the two of them had a lot of free time today, so they did not set the alarm clock and went back to the bedroom in the bottom cabin to catch up on some sleep. They vowed to sleep. Wake up naturally.
Although Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen slept after dinner last night, physical labor all night long in the winter was still quite tiring.
It was almost noon when the two of them woke up, and it was a rare day for the weather to be beautiful, with the sun shining brightly.
Usually the outdoor temperature during the day is around minus 40 degrees, but today it was minus 25 degrees under the sunshine, which is considered the best weather we haven't seen in a long time.
Chen Yuanyuan walked on the deck and saw several more ships nearby. It seemed that the good weather had also brought many people to exchange supplies.
"Girl, did you have a good harvest last night?" Yesterday's straw hat fisherman saw Chen Yuanyuan coming out and stepped forward to say hello.
"It's okay." Chen Yuanyuan doesn't like dealing with strangers, and yesterday she wanted to cheat Yichen for supplies.
"It's too late to go out to sea and it's still so cold. It would be nice to see you two come back safely." The straw hat fisherman said.
"Thank you for your concern." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Haha, your boyfriend came to ask me yesterday, and I introduced it to him! That fishing spot was a good place I used to go to when I was young, but it's a pity that I can't walk there anymore," the straw hat fisherman said gushingly.
"I'm going back first, it's a bit cold." Chen Yuanyuan really didn't like chatting with strangers, and the straw hat fisherman really talked too much and was a bit chatty.
"Ah, wait a minute, sister, there's also the matter of the berthing fee." Chen Yuanyuan interrupted the straw hat fisherman mid-sentence.
"I'll give it to you when he comes out later." Chen Yuanyuan had a serious face and was about to turn around and leave.
As soon as I woke up, I felt like I was being chased for debt. The weather was so good that I wanted to go out and bask in the sun, but my rare good mood was gone.
"No, no, that's not what I meant!" Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan was unhappy, the straw hat fisherman hurriedly explained:
"My son told me during shift change yesterday that you came to donate supplies to the temple and brought a lot of things to the children. We cannot charge you the parking fee."
"Oh, thank you then." Chen Yuanyuan softened her expression. It seemed that although the fisherman was a little greedy, he was not a bad person.
"It should, it should. It's not easy for those children, thanks to Master Xiangyun and you kind-hearted people who came here specially." said the straw hat fisherman.
"Oh? These? In addition to us, are there people who usually come to deliver supplies?" Chen Yuanyuan asked curiously.
"During the typhoon period, there was a woman who often came here despite the storm, but she never came when the weather got cold. Two weeks ago, a fisherman salvaged a female body while out at sea. Who knew she was such a stupid person?" Straw Hat The fisherman sighed.
"Does that woman have family here? She came here specially to deliver supplies." Chen Yuanyuan asked doubtfully.
Although there are occasionally good people in the apocalypse, it is really strange to go all the way to the island to deliver supplies.
"She has no relatives here, but many of us old people also know her. Her name is Qin." The straw hat fisherman said hesitantly.
Looking at the expression of the straw hat fisherman, Chen Yuanyuan was immediately interested, so she gave up the idea of going back to the cabin, jumped off the boat and walked to the dock and said.
"Can you tell her story?" Chen Yuanyuan pretended to dig into her pocket, took a pack of cigarettes and handed one to the straw hat fisherman.
"Was there a fire? It's all in the past. Just listen to it as a story and don't tell those children." The straw hat fisherman was afraid of affecting Master Xiangyun's image in the minds of the children, so he specifically warned him.
"Okay." Chen Yuanyuan found another lighter and handed it to the straw hat fisherman.
"A few decades ago, this woman came here. She was also a poor person." The straw hat fisherman took Chen Yuanyuan's cigarette, took a deep puff and told Ah Qin's story.
