59: Making popsicles, poisoning
Looking at the newly completed ice room, Lu Fan was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
However, seeing only some meat in the storage room, Lu Fan felt it was a bit of a waste.
Looking at the scorching sun, a new idea popped into his head.
"Since I have such a great ice room, shouldn't I make some popsicles to try?"
The livestream room instantly became lively, with viewers cheering and the screen filling up with all sorts of expectant comments.
"Popsicles, what a great idea."
"While others are thinking about how to survive, Great God Lu Fan is thinking about how to enjoy himself."
"Meichuan Neiku: It's all an illusion, impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Hahaha."
No sooner said than done, Lu Fan decided to go gather some fruit first.
He brought Dahei along, preparing to look for destined people—no, destined fruits.
Hearing they were going out, Dahei was so excited he jumped up and down, circling Lu Fan incessantly with his tail wagging like a rattle.
"Dahei, don't run around. If I can't find you later, I won't care."
Lu Fan deliberately pulled a long face to scare him, but how could Dahei listen? He had already rushed ahead, a literal "vanguard."
Soon, Lu Fan and the others arrived at the place where they had previously found blueberries. The patch of blueberry bushes swayed gently in the breeze, as if waving to Lu Fan.
"Haha, this time I've got to 'pack you all up and take you away'."
Laughing, Lu Fan nimbly began to pick them.
As he picked, Lu Fan also stuffed blueberries into his mouth.
Before long, the small wicker basket he brought was filled with blueberries. The plump berries shimmered like purple gems in the basket with an enticing luster.

Soon, clusters of blueberry bushes appeared within the borders of Huaguo.
"Let's go, Dahei, let's look for other fruits." Lu Fan patted Dahei's head, and the man and dog continued deeper into the tree line.
Along the way, Dahei sniffed here and there, occasionally barking at small animals in the bushes, scaring the little creatures so much they fled in all directions.
Just as Lu Fan was starting to feel a bit tired, Dahei suddenly stopped not far ahead, sniffing the ground incessantly before barking excitedly.
"What's wrong, Dahei? Found some treasure?" Lu Fan hurried over.
【Edible wild strawberries discovered】
The sight before him made Lu Fan's eyes light up—a patch of bright red strawberries appeared in front of them.
Each strawberry was small and exquisite, fresh and succulent, with crystal-clear water droplets hanging on them. Under the sunlight, they looked like red gems.
"Haha, silly dog, you've got a good nose!" Lu Fan happily crouched down and began to pick the strawberries carefully.
The aroma of the strawberries wafted over, making Lu Fan's mouth water.
He stuffed them into his mouth as he picked. The sweet and sour flavor instantly spread through his mouth, making him let out a satisfied sigh.
This patch of strawberries wasn't large, so Lu Fan picked them all to avoid letting the wild animals get them.

livestream room.
"Found strawberries again, I'm drooling."
"So jealous. Fruits are deathly expensive now; a few small ones cost several hundred yuan."
"The prices in Magic City are even more exaggerated. One piece of fruit is enough to cost me my life."
With a full harvest, Lu Fan and Dahei returned to the Shelter.
Big Horn and Baa Baa saw them return and also came over to join the fun, seemingly curious about what good things they had brought back.
"Big Horn, Baa Baa, there are delicious popsicles today, but you guys can't eat them." Lu Fan said to them with a smile.
After returning to the Shelter, Lu Fan began to work on making the popsicles.
He first washed the blueberries and strawberries separately, then crushed the blueberries. Thick juice flowed out instantly, and the rich fruity aroma filled the air once again.
The strawberries were cut into small pieces, retaining their complete shape.
Next, Lu Fan found some bamboo tubes he had made earlier, poured the blueberry juice and strawberry pieces into separate tubes, and then added an appropriate amount of honey.
The honey flowed slowly like golden silk threads, adding a touch of sweetness to the fruit juice.
Then, he placed the bamboo tubes into water with saltpeter added, and the mixture inside slowly solidified.
After some time, Lu Fan picked up the bamboo tubes; the popsicles had solidified and taken shape.
He carefully removed the popsicles from the bamboo tubes, wrapped them neatly in leaves, and arranged them one by one.
"Mission accomplished! I'm a freaking genius." Lu Fan picked up a popsicle.
The surface of the popsicle was covered in a thin layer of frost, and the enticing colors of the blueberry juice and strawberry pieces could be seen inside.
"Wow, it's an Ice Factory."
"I want to eat it too, but it's too expensive."
"I still prefer Adidasi, especially the sesame paste on top, it's incredibly delicious."
"Adi... dasi? Sesame paste? Bro, are you sure?"
Lu Fan couldn't wait to take a bite, and the icy sensation instantly spread through his mouth.
The sweet and sour of the blueberries, the freshness of the strawberries, and the sweetness of the honey blended perfectly, leaving him enchanted.
"This taste is simply amazing!" Lu Fan praised while eating.

"Wage slaves are only fit to watch."
"Personally, I prefer Summer Cavalry."
"Huh? Summer Ice Riding? Wouldn't that be quick-frozen dumplings?"
"Holy crap, you guys are real geniuses."
Dahei watched longingly from the side, wagging his tail incessantly, his drool almost forming a river.
"Dahei, you can't eat too many of these popsicles. I'll just give you a small taste."
Lu Fan broke off a small piece of the popsicle and handed it to Dahei.
Dahei swallowed it in one gulp and shuddered from the cold. His tongue couldn't even stick out, looking extremely comical, which made Lu Fan and the livestream viewers burst into laughter.
"Haha, Dahei, did you get brain freeze?" Lu Fan laughed and patted Dahei's head.
But Dahei wasn't satisfied and wanted more, circling Lu Fan incessantly.
Lu Fan ate a few more popsicles and patted his stomach contentedly.
He packed the remaining popsicles into bamboo tubes and put them in the cold storage room.
Just as the Huaguo viewers were immersed in joy.
