Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 30 Discovering Wild Shepherd's Purse

As soon as he stood up, Meng Chao heard two prompts.

[Food Processing Proficiency +1]
[Food Processing Proficiency +1]
Because there are too few ingredients, it is still difficult for Meng Chao to upgrade.

Carrying the food back to the shelter, An Yifei was sitting on a stone and making a fire.

"Where are they?" Meng Chao asked curiously when he didn't see Ma Dongxi and Cai Fankun.

"They went to collect firewood, saying they would need a lot of it in the evening." An Yifei turned her head and explained.

Meng Chao nodded, picked up a banana leaf and handed it to Li Zhien.

"Ji Eun, rinse these banana leaves." Meng Chao gave Li Zhien a task.

"Okay." Li Zhien didn't think much about it and happily took the banana leaves to wash it.

Meng Chao sat down and glanced at his watch.

"Time flies so fast. It's already half past five. It will be dark in another hour, right?" As he spoke, Meng Chao couldn't help but look up at the sky.

He retracted his gaze and looked at An Yifei who was seriously making a fire.

She certainly had never had such an experience before.

But she did a good job of cooking and didn't make herself look dirty. After all, it wasn't a difficult thing to do.

Her profile was so beautiful that Meng Chao couldn't help but be distracted.

It took him a few seconds to come back to his senses.

Fortunately, his popularity did not drop, but continued to rise and is now close to 30,000.

"You guys come and roast the rabbit later. I can make a rack. Is that ok?" Meng Chao retracted his gaze to prevent himself from losing focus again.

"I'm worried that it will burn. I don't know if Jieun has any experience. I have no experience at all." An Yifei said unconfidently.

It’s okay to have a BBQ at home, after all, there are professional equipment.

She really had no experience in this wilderness, so naturally she had no confidence.

These two rabbits are their dinner. What if they are roasted badly?
Thinking about it getting burnt, Meng Chao suddenly felt distressed.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Then you go and collect the materials I need?"

"Sure, we can do that. Let me bake something, and maybe everyone won't have dinner." An Yifei breathed a sigh of relief.

It's too stressful to ask her to grill.

She had tried the squirrel roasted by Meng Chao and it tasted good and looked very good.

If you have this skill, why don’t you bake it and let me do it?
This baby is really unsure!

"Okay, then go and cut some grass and make sure you cut it to the bottom," Meng Chao instructed.

Li Zhien just came back and handed the washed banana leaves to Meng Chao.

Meng Chao put the rabbit on the banana leaves, picked up a machete and cut some wooden sticks to the length he needed, then gave the machete to An Yifei and Li Zhien and asked them to cut the grass.

"Be careful, knock it with a wooden stick first, and then cut it when there is no problem. One person is cutting, and the other is keeping watch." Meng Chao did not forget to remind them.

Meng Chao didn't think much about it, picked up the sticks and started peeling the skin.

These barks do have some uses.

Then he picked up his woodworking chisel and hammer and chiseled a simple groove on the wooden stick.

"You must be curious about what I'm doing?"

"This is a simple mortise and tenon structure. With the help of these two grooves, you can make an X-shaped structure that is short at the top and long at the bottom, which can be used for barbecue."

After speaking to the camera, Meng Chao built the first shelf.

[Mortise and Tenon Proficiency +1]
Just after it was completed, a prompt popped up. Meng Chao ignored it, because he couldn't upgrade for a while anyway.

After tying it around with several circles of bark to secure it, Meng Chao couldn't help but think of a tool often used by carpenters, the triangle horse.

As long as you open a four-corner hole at the intersection of the x, and then insert a wooden stick, it will be a triangular horse. Many people also call this tool a wooden horse, which is a must-have tool for old carpenters.

Maybe in the next twenty-nine days, he will really have the chance to make this kind of Trojan horse.

Meng Chao quickly finished making the second one and also gained some proficiency in mortise and tenon joints.

Then he fixed the two wooden frames with stones and surrounded a fire pit with stones.

[I don't quite understand, is this a waste of time? ]

[Indeed, why make it so complicated if you just bake it? ]

[I think this is just a show of skill, it's too deliberate.]

When Meng Chao saw his popularity rising and falling, he knew that his actions must have caused some people to dislike him.

Without explaining anything, he picked up a wooden stick and skewered both rabbits onto the same stick.

Then he cut a few wooden spikes to secure the stick to prevent it from turning on its own and being unable to pull the hare along with it.

After he was done, he put the two rabbits on the rack, and then Meng Chao tried to turn the wooden stick.

After achieving the desired effect, Meng Chao began to skewer the internal organs with a thin wooden stick.

After preparing the ingredients, Meng Chao did not start to make a fire and grill immediately.

After looking at his watch, Meng Chao stood up and prepared to look for An Yifei and Li Zhien.

"I don't know what's going on with the other two groups. Have they found a shelter?"

Meng Chao was indeed very curious about what other artists were like and whether they were very pretentious.

His group is pretty good, only Cai Fankun is a little pretentious, the performances of the others are all okay.

Following the direction signs, Meng Chao quickly found An Yifei and Li Zhien.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Meng Chao coming, An Yifei suddenly became uneasy, worried that there was something wrong with the food.

"I'm worried about you guys, so come and cut the grass. I've already prepared the rabbit, and we can roast it later. But we must collect enough ingredients before dark."

"Give me the knife. You're too slow." Meng Chao said as he stretched out his hand.

The despised An Yifei said nothing and handed the knife directly to Meng Chao.

There is indeed a big difference in efficiency between them.

"Oppa, do you know what plant this is? Is it edible?" Lee Ji-eun came over to ask, holding a plant she had just dug out.

"what?"

"This is wild shepherd's purse. It's edible and a very delicious wild vegetable." Meng Chao said happily.

"really?"

"Great, there are a lot of them over there. Yifei, let's go dig some." As she said that, Lee Ji-eun prepared to pull An Yifei to dig wild shepherd's purse.

"Don't dig for now. We have rabbit meat tonight. It won't be fresh if you dig it up. Let them grow a little longer. Come back and dig when there's no food." Meng Chao quickly persuaded Lee Ji-eun.

At present, they have no food reserves and they have no food to eat after this meal.

So when he heard about fresh wild shepherd's purse, Meng Chao wanted to let them stay in the soil and continue growing.

The tree in Lee Ji-eun’s hand doesn’t look very big. It’s a pity to dig it up when it’s so small.

Li Zhien thought what Meng Chao said made sense, so she quickly asked, "Should I plant this one back?"
