Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 268 This has nothing to do with craftsmanship (Subscription required)
After hanging up the smoked fish, Zhang Jin and his team continued to lay the floor of the wooden house, preparing to lay the remaining parts.

After all, they are not short of materials now. Everyone has cut a lot today, enough for them to use.

Meng Chao was responsible for grilling the fish, after all, it couldn't be burnt.

No one else can do this well. Without Meng Chao's skills, it is easy to waste these precious ingredients.

[Cooking proficiency +1]
The first thing to cook is the fish soup, after all, it is easier.

After seeing the prompt, Meng Chao moved the firewood from the small fire, opened the lid and put some seasonings in it.

Once the shelter is built, you can lay stones on it and then cook in the cabin to prevent the smell from attracting wild animals.

Put the lid of the pot on the upright oak stake, and then Meng Chao put the grilled fish on the lid.

These fish were not big, and each one weighed only a little over half a pound after being processed, so Meng Chao grilled two for each person.

Plus there are two cooked for each person, so it’s enough for everyone.

It’s really not enough, there are also grilled bananas to eat.

Only after all the fish were grilled did Meng Chao gain two barbecue experience points.

"Come for dinner, everyone must be hungry." Meng Chao climbed up to the wooden house carrying the hanging pot.

The cabins were already built, so there was no need to eat on the ground.

Then, Meng Chao and his friends took the grilled fish to the wooden house.

Not only did they lay the rest of the floor, they also tied a long stick in three directions to serve as a simple fence.

This way, you don’t have to worry about rolling off while sleeping at night.

"This fish soup is so delicious, better than any fish soup I've ever had."

"Yeah, I agree. It's really delicious."

"It's so peaceful. I didn't expect to be able to drink such delicious fish soup in the wilderness. Meng Chao, your cooking skills are amazing."

"It has nothing to do with my cooking skills. This kind of fish is naturally delicious. I just cooked it casually." Meng Chao was not being pretentious. The main reason why the fish soup was so delicious tonight was because of the piranhas themselves.

"Not only is the fish soup delicious, the grilled fish is even more delicious. You should try it." An Yifei said excitedly while eating the grilled fish.

Everyone knew the grilled fish tasted good just by smelling the aroma, but the fish soup was so delicious that they couldn't spare any time to eat the grilled fish.

With a bite of grilled fish and a sip of fish soup, An Yifei felt particularly satisfied.

After eating and drinking, everyone sat down and chatted.

Two meters high, it gives everyone a sense of security.

Although the jaguar can easily leap up thanks to its excellent jumping ability, it is a bit difficult for it to approach quietly.

There were small fires around the campsite, and the camping lights were hung high, so the surroundings were very bright.

If any animal approaches, it is still easy for everyone to find it.

After resting for a while, everyone came down from the wooden house and started building a wooden tower with the unused wood.

This kind of wooden tower is used to dry wet wood, after all, the firewood in the rainforest contains a lot of moisture.

If it is not dried, it will be difficult to burn.

It was still quite early and no one was planning to go to bed so early.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the wood was soon built into a tall tower.

This kind of wooden tower can also be used as a smoking room. When building it, he puts the position of the beams and reserves a small door for entry and exit.

They hung the unsmoked piranhas inside, and then Meng Chao lit a bonfire inside the wooden tower. Looking at his results, Meng Chao was quite satisfied.

Next, they found some gravel and prepared to lay it in the middle of the cabin.

At the same time, you need to use large stones to enclose a circle as a fire pit to prevent the flames and charcoal from escaping.

After finishing all this, Meng Chao shoveled the still burning charcoal into the oak pile with a machete.

Last night he used this method to burn the oak stump to create an area about ten centimeters deep and thirty centimeters wide.

This is a way to fire barrels, but it is not very efficient.

If other methods were used to make wooden barrels at night, the noise would be too loud and would affect other people's rest.

Although burning with fire is a little slower, the night is long, and burning for a whole night can make up for the disadvantage of low efficiency.

After instructing Liu Yan and Huang Bo, who were on night watch, on how to handle the charcoal burning of the oak, Meng Chao went to rest.

I am very tired today and just want to go to bed early tonight.

Something could happen at any time during the night, and he might be woken up like he was last night.

An Yifei didn't sleep well last night, so she went to bed early and lay down next to Meng Chao.

I used my backpack as a pillow and there was nothing on the floor.

Because of limited time, we will have to make do with this for tonight.

Tomorrow they can go and see if there is anything suitable to bring back and spread on the ground. If they can't find anything, they will have to continue sleeping like this.

Meng Chao fell asleep not long after he lay down. Everyone envied his sleep quality.

An Yifei lay down for a while and felt that the floor was too hard and it would be more comfortable to sleep on a hammock.

After tossing and turning for a while like a salted fish, she gradually fell asleep.

I slept next to the fire and it wasn't cold at night.

Maybe the jaguar was frightened by Meng Chao last night, or it fell and injured itself, so it did not appear again tonight.

The night was very peaceful and Meng Chao slept until dawn.

He has a lot of flesh on his body, so sleeping on the uneven round wooden floor doesn't have much impact.

The others did not have such a good quality sleep. They all woke up several times in the middle of the night, so they all had dark circles under their eyes.

"The production crew is too cruel. They didn't even give us sleeping bags this time." An Yifei pounded her waist while complaining about the stingy production crew.

"That's right. My whole body ached from sleeping last night. It was harder than sleeping on a hammock. Today I must find something to cushion my back and make it softer." Liu Yan said while rubbing her shoulders.

Although Huang Bo and Zhang Jin didn't say anything, it was obvious from their appearance that they didn't sleep well.

"See if there are any palm trees nearby. If there are, we can peel the palm bark to use as padding." After saying that, Meng Chao walked over and took a look at the condition of the oak barrel.

The barrel is still smoking, which means the charcoal inside is still burning.

After taking a look, Meng Chao found that the fire had burned to a depth of thirty centimeters.

If we keep going, we can finish burning a barrel in the afternoon.

Meng Chao felt that this efficiency was still acceptable. He could go cut a few more pieces today and use the same method to make buckets.

If you have enough buckets, you can fill them up and place them in the camp, saving you the trouble of going to the river to fetch water all day, thus reducing the probability of encountering crocodiles and anacondas.

These two animals are not uncommon in the jungle. Just because they haven't encountered them before doesn't mean they don't exist in that river.
