Laying bricks and building walls, installing doors and windows, as the work progresses, clay seeking officially becos a priority.
Of course, before that, Chen Zhou needs to check out his "New Year gift."
The lunar calendar is quite complex, especially regarding leap months.
The Gregorian calendar balances each year's days by adding a day at the end of February, whereas the lunar calendar has a saying of seven leap months every nineteen years.
For those unfamiliar with the lunar calendar, trying to trace back from the 21st-century lunar dates to the 17th century accurately is an impossible task.
Thus, Chen Zhou can only treat the Gregorian calendar as the lunar calendar, making the New Year's Day of the Gregorian era turn into the true New Year.
Walking through the familiar mountain paths.
Seeing the grass beneath his feet with clearly trodden marks, Chen Zhou couldn't help but think of Mr. Lu Xun's famous saying—
"There was no path on the ground initially, but as more people walked, it beca a path."
"I don't know how many more paths I have to open up on the island, nor do I know how this island will look by the ti I leave here."
Lost in thought, the beach he loves and hates appears before him.
Feeling calm.
After the last prank, Chen Zhou could no longer have strong expectations for the mysterious reward.
In his view, those "people" who give out the prizes just love seeing challengers full of hope only to fall into despair and finally break down.
After all, it was clearly stated during registration that this is an "intertemporal large-scale reality challenge show."
If the variety show has no gimmicks or effects, how would it achieve viewership ratings?
Chen Zhou reasonably speculates that the more he ets those people's wishes by showing intense emotions, the more bizarre the next prank becos.
Conversely, if he reacts indifferently or disdainfully to the tricks, the rewards will tend to be normal.
A pile of useless bizarre items or a pile of practically valuable tools, which one needs any thought to choose?
Remind yourself, even if I really see a silicone doll or sothing more unexpected, I shouldn't lose my composure.
Struggling to keep a straight face, Chen Zhou put on an expressionless mask and pushed the big cardboard box on the beach.
Judging by the sheer size, this reward is definitely the main event.
The entire packing box is over a ter high, with the length and width exceeding a ter, standing out conspicuously on the beach.
The weight of the items inside is even more remarkable; Chen Zhou's casual push couldn't even budge the box, only feeling that there were several internal fraworks within the corrugated paper, protecting the reward tightly.
Looking at the suspiciously large volu of the box, Chen Zhou was sowhat unable to maintain his composure.
"I was just joking last ti; you didn't actually send a doll, did you?"
He cautiously glanced at the sky, seeing no equipnt resembling a cara, then furtively tore open the tape on the box to get a glimpse of the reward's true nature.
Unfortunately, inside the box was not the item he imagined but was stuffed full of translucent nylon bags.
These bags are packed in 5kg each, and you can vaguely see internally filled with fragnts of various colors, unlike common household products.
Seeing these strange bags, Chen Zhou felt slightly relieved but also a bit disappointed.
He pried open the wooden fras on top, used for protection and bearing weight, and pulled out a bag filled with orange fragnts. Just as he was about to see what it was, he suddenly found a massive full-color product introduction in the box.
So Chen Zhou put down the bag and picked up the product introduction.
"Large quantities of edible soil?"
Seeing the first line, he could hardly keep a straight face, and the more he read, the more his brows furrowed.
"Carefully selected from the best soil varieties around the world, with delicate texture, various colors, aromatic fragrance, and crispy taste.
Red chips, strawberry soil, imported white, Ural red, golden, yogurt powder, Altay yellow, Nalati red, violet soil...
Water washed and screened, high-temperature sterilized, removing bacteria and impurities.
Vacuum packaging, safe and reliable, suitable for pica.
Buy various flavors at once to enjoy for a whole year, say no to edible soil anxiety!
After receiving, add a twenty-word review video, and get a 6 yuan cashback..."
"Cashback? Seriously, do people actually buy this stuff?"
After finishing the introduction, countless feelings arose in Chen Zhou's mind, yet he didn't know where to begin.
Every ti he thought the quirkiness of the mysterious reward had reached its limit and could no longer affect him, this thing would refresh his understanding once again.
Even after carefully picking from the endless sea of industrial waste on Pinduoduo, it's hard to find sothing as useless as this box of colorful Tu Kui.
What's even more terrifying is that this box of soil might be more expensive than those two axes.
Constantly reminding himself to "control emotions, control expressions."
Chen Zhou casually put down the paper in his hand, picked up the heavy orange Tu Kui, stared for a mont, then stuffed it back into the box.
"This big box should weigh around 170 to 180 pounds.
The temporarily conceivable uses are only for wall decoration and pottery making. If the high-temperature sterilization description is true, it might also handle wounds or stop diarrhea, but Pinduoduo's description is not trustworthy.
Considering the price, it's better to bring them back to the camp; they might perform a miracle soday."
This box of "edible soil" is essentially a tasteless, dispensable item at the mont but holds mysterious potential waiting to be tapped.
Chen Zhou dared not leave them on the beach and could only expend energy to transport them to the slope's hut before returning to the kiln cave.
