“Hahaha…”
After a round of teasing, everyone took out the things from the net and stored them away.
When they heard that Liu Tian Xian had caught the parrotfish using a spear gun, everyone cast envious glances at her.
After all, this was Liu Tian Xian’s first time diving with the captain.
To have such a catch, she had already surpassed other participants.
However, only Liu Tian Xian knew in her heart that the fish was actually caught by her and the captain together.
Thinking back to that scene, her heart still raced, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
That feeling was one that she couldn’t forget for a while.
“By the way, is the tapioca flour ground up?”
Tang Chen remembered the matter of making dumplings and turned to look at Yang Mi and Reba.
“Report, Captain, all ground up!”
Yang Mi and Reba answered in unison.
Even though their legs were injured, they didn’t slack off at all.
While Tang Chen and Liu Tian Xian were diving to catch fish, they had ground up all the dried tapioca flour.
“All ground up?” Tang Chen gave them a thumbs-up, praising, “Good job, I’m rewarding you all with dumplings tonight!”
“Dumplings?!”
Yang Mi and Reba’s mouths watered at the mention of dumplings: “Captain, did I hear right? Are we really going to have dumplings here?”
After being on the island for so many days, they were indeed craving dumplings.
Moreover, dumplings represented reunion.
If they could really eat dumplings on this deserted island, it would perfectly showcase the unity and camaraderie in their team.
“Of course we can…”
Tang Chen chuckled and nodded: “Didn’t we catch a parrotfish today? Parrotfish meat is very delicious and perfect for making dumplings!”
Pausing for a moment, he continued: “Now we have tapioca flour, parrotfish, and the only thing missing is some wild mountain delicacies…”
“Wild mountain delicacies?”
Hearing these words, Yang Mi’s spirits instantly lifted.
“Captain, can Reba and I go into the mountains with you later?” Yang Mi explained: “Our injuries have fully healed now, we can run and jump…”
“No!” Tang Chen shook his head: “You just recovered today and can’t go into the mountains…”
“But…”
Yang Mi said pitifully: “We really want to go, we don’t want to stay at home!”
“Yeah, Captain, please agree to us!” Reba also chimed in: “We really want to go with you to broaden our horizons!”
They had already made up their minds, even if they had to stick to the captain, they would follow him.
“Broaden your horizons?”
Tang Chen was amused by them: “It’s just a quick exploration of the jungle, what’s so broadening about that?”
He paused and said: “It’s not that I’m deliberately targeting you two, it’s just that the jungle path is difficult to navigate, and it will affect your recovery.”
Hearing this, Yang Mi nodded vigorously: “Captain, I know you’re thinking about us, but… we really want to go with you!”
“Yeah, Captain!” Reba echoed.
“Alright then!”
Seeing their determined looks, Tang Chen nodded: “Since you guys want to go so badly, then go! But you must listen to my commands at all times!”
“Yes, thank you Captain!”
Yang Mi and Reba immediately shouted in unison.
Seeing their excited smiles, Tang Chen shook his head helplessly.
He didn’t expect these two girls to be so inseparable from him.
He was just taking people to collect some wild mountain delicacies, but they were willing to follow him even though their legs weren’t fully recovered.
After storing the harvest from the dive, Tang Chen cleaned the spider conch and the mantis shrimp, putting them all into the pot.
Exploring the jungle in the afternoon was going to be a physical task, and they had to eat their fill first.
The female celebrities gathered around the banana leaves, each eating a spider conch.
Although a whole spider conch only had one piece of tender flesh to eat.
But a single spider conch weighed four or five pounds!
With the female celebrities’ appetites, one spider conch was enough to fill them up.
Moreover, there were still two mantis shrimps and two two to three-pound bread crabs in the pot.
After eating their fill, Tang Chen took his equipment and led the female celebrities into the jungle.
It was already approaching afternoon, and the scorching sun was still high in the sky.
Sunlight filtered through the treetops, illuminating the earth.
Following Tang Chen’s orders, the female celebrities changed into the camouflage uniforms prepared for them by the program team.
Each of them held a short stick and followed behind Tang Chen, heading deeper into the jungle of this deserted island.
“Wow, this jungle is so deep!”
Yang Mi gazed at the seemingly endless tree canopy in front of her and couldn’t help but exclaim.
In the past, they had always heard the program team mention the deserted island and thought that deserted islands were surrounded by the sea on all sides, with only bare rocks on the island.
Only after coming here did they realize.
This deserted island was not only surrounded by the sea, but it also had a dense jungle on the island.
“There are so many plants here, there must be wild boars, right?”
Just then, Liu Shi Shi asked, her voice coming from the side.
She still remembered what the captain said last night, he wanted to eat braised pork with honey sauce!
