After more than two hours of busy work, the last walrus successfully entered the pool. After counting the number, Shen Nan quickly found Wen Wanwan and reported it.

"A total of 57 walruses were collected this time, including 25 cubs, 23 males, and the rest are adult females, which is [-] less than the estimated number."

After hearing this answer, Wen Wanwan didn't think there was anything surprising.

Walruses are also particularly sensitive to changes in the marine environment. Due to large-scale development of oil and natural gas, many walrus habitats have been polluted, making them unable to survive and leading to extinction, and their distribution areas have gradually shrunk.

Coupled with the demand for walrus tusks in recent years, the walrus hunting industry has also continued to develop, and hunting tools and methods have been continuously improved and improved.

This has dealt a devastating blow to the living conditions of walruses, and the population has declined sharply, from millions two or three centuries ago to less than about [-].

In the last century, tens of thousands of walruses could be seen throughout the Arctic.

But in recent years, populations of more than a hundred individuals have been considered rare, and most only have a few dozen individuals.

Even in some areas, due to hunting, walruses that should be living in groups have to disperse when resting on the shore.

This means that if they want to find enough walruses, they need to travel to multiple areas, and even be prepared to spend a period of time.

"Just keep an eye on this. I'll go find the captain to study the next itinerary."

Shen Nan looked at Wen Wanwan who had stood up and nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on this."

With Shen Nan staring at the pool, Wen Wanwan felt a lot more at ease and walked towards the captain's cabin.

"captain!"

"Well, how do we go next?"

After hearing the captain's inquiry, Wen Wanwan drew a navigation chart on the tablet and began to study the recent warm current.

The audience in the live broadcast room looked at the dense arrows on the tablet, and question marks quickly filled the entire barrage area.

After Wen Wanwan turned his head and took a look, he patiently explained.

"Animals like walruses are accustomed to chasing warm currents. Especially in this season, most of them follow the warm currents."

"This means that we have to find the largest warm current in the Arctic Ocean. If we catch up, we will have a high probability of finding traces of walruses."

While explaining to the live broadcast room, Wen Wanwan also drew a route on the navigation chart.

"This route should have the most abundant food for walruses. Next, we will walk along this road and stop in these areas."

The captain observed the tablet for a moment, and then synchronized the data to the transport ship's console.

"At the current speed, we will arrive at the scheduled area at about two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Well, it's over to you!"

Wen Wanwan would never ask anything about transport ship navigation. After all, no one on this ship knew how to find a safe route on the sea better than the captain.

The cabin on the first floor was still busy at this time. After walking around for a while, Wen Wanwan realized that he really had nothing to do, and then walked directly into the canteen with the audience in the live broadcast room.

As the only chef on the ship, even if everyone else is exhausted, the chef will never feel unhappy.

Whether you can have a good meal in the vast sea depends on the mood of the cook.

Wen Wanwan walked all the way into the kitchen and saw the chef carefully cleaning the sea urchins with gloves on.

"What's delicious for lunch?"

"What do you want to eat?" The transport ship had just replenished supplies not long ago. Now there is really no shortage of food on the ship. Basically, everything that can be bought at the vegetable market can be found in the cold storage.

"I haven't had hot pot for a long time. How about we have lunch..."

"Okay, I remember there are charcoal and copper pots in the warehouse. Find a few more and I'll deal with the ingredients."

"okay!"

Hearing that the chef agreed with his idea, Wen Wanwan quickly walked towards the warehouse.

The temperature of the Arctic Ocean is much lower than that of other oceans. Eating a hot pot at this time can not only drive away some of the chill, but also mobilize the enthusiasm of this group of people for work.

Contrary to what the audience in the live broadcast room imagined, the room called the warehouse was not messy at all, but was extremely clean.

The boxes are neatly placed on the shelves, and each box has a label on the outside.

After Wen Wanwan walked around for a while, he quickly found the copper pot and charcoal that the chef had mentioned.

Carrying the two boxes on his shoulders and walking towards the canteen, Wen Wanwan also introduced the combination of copper pot and charcoal to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Hot pot was originally a pot on top of a brazier to cook food."

"Later, with gradual development, it evolved into the various forms it has now."

"And in this process, this copper pot was born after hot pot was localized in the capital."

"The middle of the copper pot is empty for burning charcoal, and the outer circle is where water and food are placed."

"Because the temperature of charcoal is high enough and copper has good thermal conductivity, the food inside can be cooked faster."

After explaining to the audience in the live broadcast room all the way, Wen Wanwan also returned to the restaurant carrying two large boxes.

The chef has already finished processing the sea urchin, poured the sauce on it and placed it in the refrigerator. The kitchen knife in his hand is flying up and down, and the lamb leg is neatly placed on the counter.

Looking at the big red leg of lamb, Wen Wanwan couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Northern black cat Nan Mengyao: [Looks so appetizing! 】

The little maid came: [This large piece of meat will be delicious after being cooked and dipped in chili noodles! 】

Qinggan Qiqi: [Chili noodles are heresy, oil dishes are authentic! 】

Wen Wanwan looked at the barrage floating in the live broadcast room and hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice.

"Shouldn't you dip it in sesame sauce when eating hot pot?"

Different regions have different choices of hot pot dipping sauces. In the Northeast region, which was influenced by the Manchu culture of the Qing Dynasty, most hot pot dipping sauces are closer to those in the capital, with sesame sauce as the main ingredient.

But in the south, many people choose oil dishes, and some use dry ingredients.

This is the same as whether tofu is salty or sweet, whether mooncakes should have salted duck egg fillings, and whether to dip steamed buns in vinegar or not.

Regional and cultural differences can never be balanced for everyone.

The entire live broadcast room was quickly divided into several large groups to compete with each other over the issue of dipping sauce selection. Among them, a group of people led by Youdish had the upper hand in the barrage area.

Although the number of Majiang is small, their fighting power is strong enough, and they barely have a place. (End of chapter)
