Tong Wei walked over and patted Chang Yuan’s shoulder. “Just treat her as a child who hasn’t grown up yet! We all need to tolerate each other!”

Tong Wei was the best. She was kind-hearted and considerate, and even the way she touched him was very gentle.

Zhuo Qianqian walked past Chang Yuan without even looking at him.

Chang Yuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly. What kind of prejudice did she have against him?!

But looking from behind, Zhuo Qianqian was the most beautiful one out of the three of them. Her figure was both curvy and slim.

Moreover, when she walked by, he could smell her body fragrance. Seeing her round bottoms swayed as she walked, Chang Yuan’s imagination ran wild.

However, the rumbling of his stomach reminded Chang Yuan that he hadn’t eaten since morning.

The three beauties must be starving too.

The seafood that he brought back was still in the forest. He quickly went to check if it was still there.

Luckily, those people didn’t see the hidden seafood when they left. The lifeboat that he brought back was still on the spot.

Chang Yuan immediately pulled the things back into the cave.

“What trash have you brought back this time?” Qiao Yuran saw it and came close with curiosity.

Every time Chang Yuan picked up a trash, he would turn it into something useful. Last time, he picked up the metal plates and made them an iron pot.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuran suddenly realized that the iron pot in the cave was gone. “F*ck, those old cowards. Not only did they steal our cans and bottles, but they also stole the iron pot too!”

Qiao Yuran was so angry that she raised her tender fist and waved it in the air twice.

When the women saw Chang Yuan took out the things from the lifeboat, their eyes immediately lit up.

They did not expect Chang Yuan to catch so many crabs and lobsters.

There were also palm-sized scallops, small octopus, and small sea fish. It seemed like they were going to have a seafood feast.

“You must be hungry! Let’s fill our stomachs first!” Chang Yuan poured out all the seafood. He was looking forward to the grand feast.

The task of cleaning the seafood was left to the three women. Chang Yuan picked up a piece of iron plate and smashed it into an iron pot again. This time, it was even bigger than the previous one.

He could boil all these things in one go.

However, the rainwater that they had stored had been stolen. They couldn’t boil the seafood with seawater, right? It would be too salty.

“What should we do without fresh water?!” Qiao Yuran frowned and asked.

If a person didn’t eat, he wouldn’t die in seven days. But if he didn’t drink any fresh water, he would die in three days.

Chang Yuan thought for a long time. Without fresh water, he couldn’t boil the seafood either. Although he knew how to make a water purifier, it would take a lot of time to find the needed materials.

He was too hungry to wait any longer.

Suddenly, Chang Yuan remembered that there were still intestines of the rabbits left from yesterday.

“Got it! If we can’t boil it, we can fry it!” As he said this, Chang Yuan took the intestines from the fence branches and placed them in the iron pot that he had made.

He started the fire to dry the intestines.

“What are you doing?!”

Chang Yuan’s actions puzzled the three women.

“If you don’t understand, just watch!” Chang Yuan frowned and replied casually. Not long after, the intestines were roasted dry by the hot iron pot.

During the process, there was juice overflowing from the pot. Chang Yuan kept separating the spilled juice.

“It smells so good!” Qiao Yuran couldn’t help but praise when she smelled the smell of the juice.

“I know, you’re extracting the oil!” Zhuo Qianqian suddenly interrupted.

Chang Yuan turned around and looked at Zhuo Qianqian with interest. “I didn’t expect you to know so much!”

He was indeed extracting oil from the rabbit intestine by using the most primitive method. Only people who knew a lot of biology would understand. As a geek, it was something Chang Yuan excelled in.

“Hmph, my company is developing a new face mask. We also use the same principle to produce the oil that needed for the mask!”

Zhuo Qianqian glared at him with a look of contempt.

However, when she said this, Tong Wei and Qiao Yuran’s faces turned pale.

“What? The ingredients in the face mask we used were extracted in this way? Isn’t this like applying animal carcass oil to your face? It’s disgusting.” Both of them were disgusted when they thought of it.

They subconsciously wiped their face, as if there were animal carcass oil on their faces.

Zhuo Qianqian noticed their behavior. She couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle, “You two are overthinking it. Of course, our process isn’t this simple and scary. The oil we used are all processed very thoroughly! You don’t have to worry about it.”

While the women were chatting and laughing, Chang Yuan had already spread all the seafood on the iron pot.

He also applied the extracted oil onto the iron pot.

Not long after, the smell of grilled seafood seeped out and floated into the air. Their stomach all growled uncontrollably.

“It smells so good! It smells so good!” Qiao Yuran moved closer to Chang Yuan and leaned her body on Chang Yuan’s back. She stuck her head out and looked into the iron pot.

“Come, try this!” Chang Yuan picked up a 70% cooked small fish and stuck a wooden stick into it. He then handed it to Qiao Yuran.

The fish was fried until its skin was slightly yellow. It tasted crispy, and the grilled fish meat was tender and juicy. The pure fragrance of the fish filled her mouth.

Qiao Yuran was satisfied.

Then she frowned. “It’s delicious, but why isn’t it salty?”

Chang Yuan smacked his forehead.

He fried the seafood, but he forgot to add seasoning.

Immediately, he took out a small bottle from his pocket. It was the sea salt that he had made. He sprinkled it on the fried seafood.

He also dripped the juice of the firethorn berry he had picked on top of it to add more flavor.

Qiao Yuran took another bite, and her eyes widened. It tasted as good as food in a three stars Michelin restaurant. She felt as if she was swimming in the ocean, and her taste buds were.

Seeing how Qiao Yuran enjoyed the fried seafood, Tong Wei also took a bite out of curiosity.

“This… tastes exactly the same as my father’s cooking. I feel like I’m at home!” Tong Wei took a bite and actually shed tears of homesickness.

“Is it really that delicious? I don’t think it’s any special.”

Zhuo Qianqian looked at the exaggerated expressions of the two girls and could not help but pick up a small fish.

Sea fish was different from river fish. It only had a large main bone and did not have any small bone. It was very easy to eat.

Zhuo Qianqian stuck a wooden stick into the fish like Chang Yuan did. She also sprinkled sea salt and firethorn berry juice on it.

She still thought it was nothing special after smelling it.

She then took a small bite. Immediately, Zhuo Qianqian lost her cool.

“I can’t believe it! It’s impossible! How can it be so delicious! Last time I’ve tasted something this good was in a five-star hotel in France.. I didn’t expect to taste it again in this cave today!”
