Chapter 627 Separation
The drone was flying high in , looking down from above. It saw two tiny figures repairing a rock cave in the wilderness.
The bark of the tree trunk was peeled off and cut into long strips shaped like a threshold, which were placed at the bottom of the cave. The soil under the boulder was dug out and small stones were pushed in to lock it firmly.
The bottom is filled with stones, and long wooden strips are stacked on top. Bifang even opened many small grooves on the wooden strips to increase the three-dimensional effect of the wall.
The wooden strips are connected by mortise and tenon joints, which is simple and practical.
After stacking up, it looks like a complete layer of wooden wall, with only two holes left in the end. One is the fireworks hole leading to the outside through the stone trough, and the other is an exit smaller than the original cave entrance, where a wooden door will be installed.
The wooden boards are connected together with wooden nails. The last piece has two protruding columns that are connected to the sunken wooden pits on the wooden wall to form a movable wooden door.
Finally, the roof needs to be laid.
"The original caves may have leaked water through the gaps between the boulders, so we also need to build a tiled roof, which doesn't need to be too complicated, just cut the trees into round pieces."
Bifang and Baowais used only a piece of tree to split a large number of discs. Although they were not beautiful and the thickness was uneven, they were enough for use.
Lay them uniformly on the roof, one layer on top of another like tiles. As long as waterproofing measures are taken at the top, rainwater will flow down along the "tiles".
The solution is also very simple. Just put a straight branch at the top, then cover it with clay, and use a torch to dry it and fix it.
After some operations, the entire cave no longer looks like rock, but more like a wooden house.
The fans exclaimed in envy.
Hobbit's Residence
[ So cool]
[The secret base you dream of]
[Too efficient. It's only eight o'clock now. In less than a day, a wooden house has been built? ]
[Not only that, they also found food and dried salt water. ]
At eight o'clock, Bifang looked up at the sky that was finally approaching dusk, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and came to the earth pit where salt was made before, with a concave stone slab in the middle.
Inside are yellow crystals that have precipitated under flame baking.
Bifang washed his hands, reached out to pick up some crystals and put them in his mouth. The salty taste accompanied by a slight bitterness spread in his mouth.
Mix wood ash with sea water, filter it through clothes, and boil the filtrate dry. Repeat this process many times to make coarse salt.
Although impurities are not completely filtered out, this amount of sea salt is enough to meet the salt needs in the short term. At least the taste of the food will be elevated to a very high level.
Salt is the king of all flavors!
Bifang estimated the time until dark and said, "There is still about an hour until dark. Let's go out into the wild and look for more spices."
The flavors of most spices are very special and strong. Bifang actually found two additional spices with his sense of smell, one is sage and the other is dill, which he found by the river.
They all look like weeds, but they are good for making meat.
Sage has a strong aroma and is a common ingredient in men's perfume.
Dill is relatively unfamiliar to many people.
"This plant is native to West Asia and is now mainly produced in the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. It looks similar to fennel, but has a spicier smell. It is very suitable for cooking fish to remove the fishy smell. Dill leaves can be eaten directly or dried and processed. They have a subtle fragrance."
Bifang took a deep breath, his face showing intoxication.
With salt and three spices, today's dinner is definitely sumptuous.
Bao Weisi couldn't wait any longer: "Can we go back now?"
"Wait a minute." Bifang looked at the swaying reeds by the river. "We just happened to come across some reeds. We can harvest some and use them to make mattresses."
"Mattress?"
"That's right."
Bifang handed the knife to Baowais, and the two of them worked together to cut a large handful of reeds.
This plant can be seen along almost all rivers around the world.
Bifang cut the reed rhizomes into the same length and tied them into small bundles with tree ropes. Soon the audience realized that this was actually a mattress.
The reed stalks are very elastic and very thick when bundled together. They are very soft and comfortable to lie on. They are surprisingly not inferior to modern mattresses, but they may be a little noisy.
Once you turn over, you can feel a loud friction sound.
Baoweisi lay down and tried it, and exclaimed: "You really refreshed my knowledge. I have never seen anyone who can make survival in the wilderness so enjoyable, with a house, a soft mattress, and delicious spices and food."
[Is this the boss?]
[To me, surviving is like being in prison]
[Go to jail, hahaha]
"It's time for dinner."
Bifang returned to the shelter with a mattress on his back and a handful of spices in his hand, and started a fire.
Crush the spices and spread them evenly on the remaining pike, pour all the crustaceans into a wooden trough, stew them in salt water, and sprinkle with the spice crumbs as well.
Finally, the bracken that was not eaten at noon was also stewed with water.
Soon, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish were placed on the table.
One dish was boiled bracken leaves, another was crustacean stew, and the last dish was smoked pike, sprinkled with crisp spice leaves, which was rich in fragrance.
At this time, the sky became completely dark, the bonfire was burning, the trees burst, making crackling sounds, and sparks were flying.
The faint smell of fireworks diffused in the air.
The two men each brought a stone and sat opposite each other.
It doesn't look like wilderness survival at all, but more like a vacation trip.
Bao Weiss looked at the three dishes in front of him and was reluctant to eat them. He excitedly took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the two of them.
With the sound of a click, a photo is finally taken.
The night was dotted with stars. Baowais put his arm around Bifang's shoulders with a big smile on his face, and Bifang also had a smile on his face.
In front of the two men there was a blazing bonfire with sparks flying around, and behind them was an empty field with only a wooden house with patterns on it.
The bracken is crispy, tender and delicious, and is countless times better than eating it raw. The sea fish soaked in saltiness also brings out a stronger umami flavor, and the fishy smell is barely detectable.
For a moment, everyone forgot that this journey was essentially a struggle for survival.
After dinner, this two-person journey came to an end.
The helicopter's rotors spun, forcing Bowes to shout as he spoke.
"This will be the most special trip in my life. It is very beautiful. Although it is very tiring, I can feel my thigh muscles shaking now. But the knowledge you share, your experience, and your fish are all great. I feel that it is even more delicious than what I have eaten in most restaurants."
"I think you are fully capable of opening a restaurant in Central China."
"I'll think about it."
Bifang smiled and waved to Baowais.
"Well, nice to meet you, Mr. Bifang, bye!"
"goodbye!"
