Chapter 259(1/2)
With the joint efforts of Chen Zhe and Leatilla, a spacious and exquisite tent was quickly established next to the Ouyang brother and sister's camp. Two groups of contestants lived next to each other and could make a living on this difficult island.
Seeing that the sun was setting and dusk was coming, Chen Zhe walked to Ouyang Meixi and asked, "Are you ready to dry firewood?"
"It's ready." Meixi answered quickly.
After all, it has been a long time since the rainy season, and even the rookie who survives in the wilderness knows the importance of preserving dry firewood in this season.
Chen Zhe nodded with satisfaction and said to Meixi: "Take out the dry firewood now. I think the weather is pretty good, and it shouldn't rain tonight.
Since it won’t rain, it’s best to light a bonfire so that you can cook supper and disperse nearby beasts.”
"Okay." Meixi was obedient and ran to the shelter to pick up dry firewood.
Seeing that my sister was doing such a rough and tiring job, my brother Ouyang Yuanshan hurriedly walked over and said, "Meixi, you rest, just leave these tasks to me."
"Brother..." Meixi smiled slightly and said, "I'm not a child anymore, I can help with such small things."
"That won't work!" Ouyang Yuanshan said seriously, "You will be a star in the future. The star's body must be flawless and there must be no flaws. What if you cut your hand through the firewood?"
"well……"
Seeing that his brother was so stubborn, Ouyang Meixi couldn't force him any more. She had to watch her brother carry the kraft over and hand it over to Chen Zhe, while she watched quietly from the side.
After getting the dry firewood, Chen Zhe began to make fire quickly, but the islands in the rainy season were too heavy, so these so-called "dry firewood" were not very dry, so it was not easy to make fire.
Fortunately, Chen Zhe also has an item upgrade system, making these damp dry firewood flammable only a matter of minutes.
Looking back, he saw that the camera guy's camera was not aimed at him, so Chen Zhe quietly used the item upgrade system.
In addition, the changes in upgrading wet wood to dry wood are very subtle. Even if the cameraman uses the camera to hit him with a camera, he may not be able to see the clues.
After the brief upgrade, Chen Zhe immediately began to drill wood to make fire.
The dry firewood is very flammable. In a blink of an eye, white smoke emerges, and then Mars burns...
On the side, Liatira was tidying up the tent, Ouyang Yuanshan was cleaning the sludge-covered jacket. Neither of them noticed Chen Zhe's progress. Only Ouyang Meixi stared at Chen Zhe with her eyes fixed on her eyes. Seeing that Chen Zhe had actually started to get angry so quickly, she said with admiration: "Chen Zhe, you are so awesome, have you raised the fire so quickly?"
Chen Zhe didn't want to discuss more on this topic. He turned around and smiled slightly at Meixi, saying in a word: "Practice makes perfect."
Meixi didn't let this topic go so easily, saying with praise: "You are really amazing. My brother and I usually have a hard time making a fire, especially in this kind of rainy weather. Sometimes we can't even see Mars for a whole morning..."
Chen Zhe laughed and said, "This has something to do with luck."
When Ouyang Yuanshan heard his sister talk about him, he quickly put down his work and walked over.
"Meihee, what are you talking about?" he asked with a smile.
Meixi said bluntly: "Brother, Chen Zhe is very powerful in his fire, and he lit it all at once... much more powerful than when we two started ignition, right?"
Ouyang Yuanshan turned his head and looked at it. He saw that Chen Zhe had indeed burned the bonfire, and he had just handed the firewood to Chen Zhe not long ago...
"Really..." Ouyang Yuanshan couldn't help but be shocked and said with some admiration, "Chen Zhe, I didn't expect that you not only have good marksmanship, but also have a good ignition."
Chen Zhe smiled calmly: "Let's just be sloppy."
When the bonfire is lit, the next step is to prepare supper.
The Ouyang brother and sister are a typical "poor family". There is no reserved grain at all. The food they usually accumulate has been consumed on this continuous rainy day. Now only some of the wilted fruits left in the shelter.
However, Chen Zhe had just killed a wild boar in the afternoon, and there was no sea salt in the shelter to marinate the endless pork. Of course, the evening dinner was fresh pork.
He skillfully used a sharp blood-drinking knife to remove eight pieces of wild boars. After removing the internal organs and fur, he then put some large pieces of pork on sharp branches and directly placed them on a bonfire to grill.
Liatira has seen Chen Zhe's "barbecue magical skills". At the beginning of the show, the roasted wild birds and roasted wild rabbits that Chen Zhe cooked by himself were simply amazing. Even now, Liatira can still produce saliva under her tongue.
So when she saw Chen Zhe show his skills again, she was very excited.
"That's great, Chen Zhe, finally wait until you cook again." Leatira said happily.
Ouyang Meixi sat obediently on the side, watching Chen Zhe skillfully dealing with the ingredients, and then guessed that he was a master of cooking.
Hearing Leah Tira say this, she quickly turned around and asked, "Sister Tira, is Chen Zhe's cooking skills great?"
"Of course, I'm simply the chef of the island." Leatilla said with a smile without hesitation for his praise to Chen Zhe, "I couldn't find anything to eat after I came to the island, because you also know that nothing in this wilderness is delicious... until I met Chen Zhe."
At this time, Chen Zhe, who was wearing the pork on the branch, smiled and joked: "Until I met me, she started eating very much and almost finished all my reserve grains."
"Tsk, stop talking nonsense, I feel like a foodie." Leatilla immediately clarified, "I don't have a lot of appetite? I only eat a little bit at a time..."
"Haha." Chen Zhe smiled and pointed to the camera's camera and said, "Anyway, we have video evidence. Whether your appetite is big or small, you will know when you go back and watch the video."
"Hmph... I'm too lazy to talk to you." Leatilla couldn't tell Chen Zhe, so she quickly ended the topic.
When they heard their conversation, Ouyang Meixi looked at the pork skewers with anticipation.
She couldn't wait to try Chen Zhe's skills.
Soon, Chen Zhe put the meat skewers covered with wild boar on a bonfire and roasted them. The bright flames rose up again and again under the breeze blowing on the island, licking the fat and thin wild boar meat on the branches.
Chen Zhe rotated the branches slowly and regularly, so that the pork on the branches could be heated evenly in all directions. Under the cooking of the fire, the pork gradually changed from raw meat to cooked meat.
During the process, the fat meat began to produce oil when it was heated. The golden fat slowly flowed down after spreading to the whole piece of pork and dripped into the bonfire.
The fire became more vigorous, stimulated by lard, and suddenly rose up and continued to roast the pork.
At this time, the aroma of barbecue had already spread, making people saliva flow when they just smelled it.
Ouyang Meixi and Ouyang Yuanshan have been to the deserted island for so long that they have never tasted the pork of wild boars. The most common thing they eat is fish and sometimes they can eat pheasants, but high-quality meat like wild boars have never been imagined.
Now that I smelled the familiar smell of pork, the brother and sister both moved their index fingers.
Meixi couldn't help swallowing her saliva quietly, with a happy smile on her face, and said in a low voice: "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant..."
Seeing his sister's appearance as a little greedy cat, Ouyang Yuanshan also smiled, and at the same time, he stared at the barbecue with his eyes fixed, waiting for the barbecue to cook.
Chen Zhe was rotating the barbecue methodically around the campfire, and quietly used the item upgrade system to upgrade the barbecue.
Although the barbecue without any seasonings smells very fragrant, it must have flaws in the taste. Chen Zhe cannot allow such flaws to exist, and he still has a lot of pursuit of eating.
Fortunately, the barbecue itself is constantly changing during the barbecue process, so even if the item upgrade system is used, it will not be discovered. Chen Zhe upgraded twice in a row, and these barbecue have completely become excellent food.
After the roasting, Chen Zhe took down all the barbecue. Meixi quickly brought over a clean stone slab and asked Chen Zhe to put all the barbecue on the stone slab.
Leatira clapped her hands happily and said, "Yeah! You can have a meal!"
Ouyang Yuanshan also nodded politely to Chen Zhe and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Chen Zhe, thank you for your hospitality."
Chen Zhe smiled softly: "You're welcome."
At this time, the night had already fallen, and a bright moon hangs high in the clear sky after the rain.
Four people sat together around the newly roasted wild boar meat, and the fragrant smell filled the camp.
Among the four, Chen Zhe spoke first: "I'm glad I met two new friends today. It's fate to meet in this wilderness ridge, and everyone will be friends in the future."
Leatilla nodded and said, "Yes, Meixi and I are still with each other, it's a coincidence."
Meixi hurriedly said, "First of all, I want to thank Chen Zhe for saving my life, and then I am very happy to know Sister Tira."
Ouyang Yuanshan smiled and said, "Everyone will come and go more in the future."
After a few simple greetings, everyone started eating immediately. First, the barbecue will easily cool down after being left for a long time, and second, the barbecue is so fragrant that no one can resist the temptation.
Leatilla took a skewer and took a bite without hesitation, then immediately showed a satisfied and happy expression on her face, and said with emotion: "This skewer... is so delicious!"
After hearing this, Meixi quickly picked up a string, but she did not eat it herself, but handed it out.
When he saw Meixi handing out the meat skewers, Ouyang Yuanshan subconsciously moved because he instinctively believed that his sister's meat skewers must be for him, after all, they have a deep affection for their brother and sister.
However, what he didn't expect was that Meixi had indeed handed out the meat skewers, but they were handed over to Chen Zhe.
"Chen Zhe, eat quickly, it's hard to cook for us." Meixi said with a smile.
"Thank you then." Chen Zhe smiled slightly, took the barbecue and started eating.
The barbecue after the item upgrade system is extraordinary, with impeccable taste and taste.
Meixi also quickly picked up a skewer and tasted it. Then she was shocked and her eyes widened and said sincerely: "This barbecue... is too delicious? It's just the same as I had eaten in the barbecue restaurant before!"
Chen Zhe smiled softly and said, "If you eat more delicious food, eat more."
He had long been used to others' praise, after all, his cooking skills conquered the two sisters Leatilla, Yan'er, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
Meixi tasted another bite of barbecue, and then couldn't help but say in admiration: "It's really delicious, Chen Zhe, your skills are so good...
I didn’t expect that you are not only good at hunting and setting fires, but also have the best cooking skills.”
Chen Zhe was embarrassed by her praise and smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise."
The more Meixi looked at Chen Zhe, the more she felt that he was excellent. She couldn't help but ask: "Chen Zhe, you must be an expert in survival in the wild, right? In fact, you can see from your marksmanship and fire-making skills that you must have rich experience in survival in the wild..."
However, Chen Zhe smiled and shook his head and said, "No, I am actually like you. It is the first time I have participated in the wild survival and came to the deserted island."
"What?"
Meixi looked shocked,
"It's the first time you've been living in the wild? Then why are you so strong?"
"Uh..." Chen Zhe scratched the back of his head, and could not find a suitable answer for a moment.
You can't tell her that I have a plug-in.
"Some people are talented players." At this time, Leatilla said with a smile, "It is something that ordinary people cannot envy."
