Especially the white clothes, which, after years of use, have turned into a mottled gray-brown color.
The cuffs, collars, and elbows, these "disaster areas," have even turned black, and even soaking in hot water can't wash out the accumulated dirt between the fibers.
Cleaning supplies are one of Chen Zhou's pain points in living on the island.
But compared to other difficult problems, the lack of soap, laundry detergent, or shampoo is only a minor issue.
What he always needs most are modern tools, resources, or practical knowledge.
For example, when he went to the beach yesterday, if he had a South Pacific mollusk atlas, his New Year's Eve dinner wouldn't have been so shabby.
"Knowledge is power."
Since arriving on the island, Chen Zhou increasingly feels that this saying is true.
However, besides this saying, another one also deeply impressed him—"A clever woman cannot cook a meal without rice."
