Except for Xiao Yi and An Ran who had taken a bath in the morning, the others hadn't bathed for several days, especially An Yue.
"Take care of your personal hygiene first. Go take a hot bath in the bathroom, wash your clothes by the way, and come out after drying them with a hair dryer!" Xiao Yi suggested.
Everyone nodded. After all, they didn't smell very good.
An Yue went in first. He hadn't taken a bath for a full half month.
During the second week for the others, Xiao Yi had distributed bath water for them to clean themselves. Although there was still a smell of sweat, it was much better.
When Su Wan arrived at Xiao Yi's island, she secretly observed An Ran.
"She's indeed extraordinarily beautiful!" Su Wan thought to herself, "But I won't give up easily!"
Just as Su Wan was comparing herself secretly, An Ran took the initiative to walk towards Su Wan and said, "Hello, I'm An Ran."
"Ah! I'm Su Wan. Nice to meet you!" Su Wan was a bit surprised but still reached out her hand to shake hands with An Ran.
"Come on, let's prepare dinner together!" An Ran invited generously.
Su Wan nodded. An Ran was like the hostess here. She took out pork, eggs, and fresh fruits and vegetables from the refrigerator.
"Prepare more. Everyone might not have eaten well today!" Xiao Yi instructed when he saw An Ran and Su Wan starting to prepare the meal.
"Okay!" An Ran responded.
"Mr. Yuan, it will still take some time for him to finish his bath. Let's go milk the cows!" Xiao Yi said.
"Okay!" Yuan Nong followed Xiao Yi, carrying a small bucket, and walked towards the cowshed.
An Ran and Su Wan cooked and chatted by the outdoor stove.
"Were you Xiao Yi's previous boss?" An Ran asked curiously, looking at this woman who was no less beautiful than herself.
"That's right. Currently, we can only rely on Xiao Yi to survive in this chaotic world." Su Wan let out a helpless sigh.
An Ran nodded slightly and then asked, "Are you married, miss?"
"Ah?" Su Wan was taken aback and then replied, "In the past, I only focused on my work and haven't found a suitable husband yet."
If she hadn't been fully devoted to her work, how could she have become Xiao Yi's boss at a similar age!
An Ran murmured, "In that case, Xiao Yi isn't at a disadvantage either."
"Hmm?" Su Wan was shocked. What did that mean?
An Ran looked at Su Wan who was standing there in a daze and said calmly, "This world is very different from the other world. As you've seen, Xiao Yi is almost as powerful as a martial arts master!"
Su Wan nodded. She remembered when Xiao Yi saved her, he jumped off the speeding yacht without getting a scratch and even kicked Zhou Xuanwu several zhang away!
These things were beyond the reach of ordinary people!
"The island is gradually thriving, and Xiao Yi will only get stronger. He will also meet more people. How about we join hands, fend off external enemies first, and then compete internally?" An Ran continued.
Su Wan was completely stunned. She wasn't stupid and naturally understood the meaning of fending off external enemies.
"You..." Su Wan didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Of course, if you have no feelings for Xiao Yi, just pretend I didn't say anything." An Ran continued.
"Okay!" Su Wan agreed without hesitation.
After half a month of getting along and caring for each other, Su Wan had already developed feelings of dependence and affection for Xiao Yi. She wasn't afraid of fair competition.
An Ran stepped forward and hugged Su Wan, saying, "Let's make it clear first. No matter what the result is, we will always be as close as sisters! We can't let a man damage our sisterly bond!"
"Okay!" Su Wan responded.
Xiao Yi and Yuan Nong had already arrived at the cowshed. Yuan Nong examined the four dairy cows and nodded, saying, "Not bad. They are well-raised!"
"There's no real raising involved. It's just nourished by S-level purified water. I don't know the way to raise cows!" Xiao Yi replied, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of them in the future."
"This is my responsibility. I will definitely do it!" Yuan Nong responded.
Xiao Yi started milking, but he noticed that the milk of one of the dairy cows was scarce.
"Mr. Yuan, why does this dairy cow have less milk?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.
Yuan Nong stepped closer, examined it carefully, and said in surprise, "It's okay. It's pregnant!"
"Fortunately, you're here!" Xiao Yi was also delighted, "Otherwise, I would have to consult you live on how to take care of a cow during childbirth!"
"They got pregnant at a good time!" Yuan Nong smiled.
Since the cow was pregnant, Xiao Yi stopped milking. Instead, he harvested the pasture in the S-level flower bed, placed nine-tenths of it in front of the pregnant cow, and the rest was enough to maintain the levels of the other dairy cows.
When Xiao Yi and Yuan Nong returned, An Yue, Jiang Yuntian, and Junjun had already finished washing. Their clothes were also washed. Although there was no washing powder or soap, they were much cleaner than before.
Xiao Yi brought the newly milked milk to the stove.
"The milk needs to be boiled!" Xiao Yi instructed.
"Okay!" An Ran was grilling meat, and Su Wan was stir-frying vegetables.
The dinner was quickly prepared. There were grilled pork chops, boiled corn, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cold cucumber salad, braised eggplants, and a large pot of delicious fish soup!
Xiao Yi looked at the table full of delicious food and smiled, "You've worked hard. Go take a bath! Everyone else has washed up!"
"Okay!" The two women responded and went into the bathroom together.
Jiang Yuntian and the others had found excuses to go out. After all, with two women taking a bath and the apartment not being very big, it was really inconvenient for the men to stay inside.
"Are you going to take a bath together?" Xiao Yi asked when he saw the two of them entering the bathroom.
"Why not?" An Ran retorted.
"OK, no problem. I'll go for a walk too!" Xiao Yi replied. In his heart, he wanted to peek at the scene of the two beautiful women taking a bath, but he also felt embarrassed.
Seeing Xiao Yi go out, An Yue said, "It's really inconvenient to live in the same room. How about we clear out those two factory buildings? Can I live there?"
"Yeah, the conditions in the factory buildings are already quite good!" Yuan Nong and Jiang Yuntian nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Since I invited you here, how could I let you live in the factory buildings! I've already made preparations!"
Xiao Yi led them to the factory building used as a warehouse and found two wooden house construction plans and one stone house construction plan.
"This is enough for us to live in now!" Xiao Yi raised the plans in his hand and said.
When An Yue and the others saw this, they immediately said happily, "This is definitely enough!"
The factory building was too big. It was okay in summer, but with the cold winter approaching, it would inevitably be cold.
With these houses, it would be very different!
The smaller space would also be warmer!
"Everyone can make do in the apartment tonight. We'll find an empty space to build tomorrow!" Xiao Yi said.
Everyone nodded one after another.
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Wang Cai's barking came from outside the door. Everyone went out and saw eight supply boxes lined up!
Wang Cai wagged its tail wildly beside them.
"With so many supply boxes, haven't you opened them for two days?" An Yue asked in surprise.
Xiao Yi shook his head, "These are from today!"
Everyone was shocked. Catching eight supply boxes in one day, what an amazing feat!
Others could only catch three in a day at most!
"No, weren't you not on the island?" An Yue noticed the problem.
Jiang Yuntian said, "I can explain this!"
"Did you help catch them?" Yuan Nong asked because Jiang Yuntian had arrived at Xiao Yi's island in the morning.
Jiang Yuntian shook his head, "Xiao Yi has a fully automatic fishing net!"
"Ah?" An Yue and Yuan Nong opened their mouths wide in surprise!
At this moment, the fully automatic fishing net happened to come over. Xiao Yi stepped forward to adjust the settings and said, "Brother Jiang is telling the truth. This is the fully automatic fishing net. Just set the target, and the supply boxes can't escape within the fishing radius."
Yuan Nong suddenly understood, "No wonder you have so many supplies!"
"Yeah, this is the foundation of my rise!" Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Set the fishing net to catch without a specific target at night, and we can harvest sea fish in the morning!"
"No wonder others can't catch up with your development. You're fishing around the clock. Who can keep up?" Jiang Yuntian shook his head and said.
After setting it up, the fully automatic fishing net drove towards the seaside by itself.
Xiao Yi walked towards the eight supply boxes and opened them one by one!
"Acquired supplies: Cornerstone *3, Copper *2,..."
"Acquired supplies: Textile machine manufacturing plan *1, Stones *3,..."
"Acquired supplies: Cornerstone *2, Iron *3,..."
