Chapter 19: 019 You Chop Wood, I Cook?
019 You Chop Wood, I Cook?
On the sixteenth day of survival in the Ice Age, Zhang Bei woke up early and looked at the green forest.
He greeted the viewers in the live broadcast room: "Good morning!"
Li Qinqin: 【Morning!】
Rong Rongxuan: 【Morning morning morning!】
Ye Fan: 【Morning!】
Sitting outside the door, Zhang Bei quickly sorted out what needed to be done today.
There were two tasks; first was to solve the bathing problem.
Second, try to figure out the distribution of resources in the surrounding area today.
The Hunter mission was still missing three carnivores; in such a large forest, it shouldn't be hard to find them.
Looking at Su Xiao Xiao, who was fast asleep nearby, Zhang Bei immediately smiled.
Environment changes people; even a regular medical student like Su Xiao Xiao was gradually growing up in the Ice Age.
He reached out and pushed open the wooden door, looking at the sunlight outside, and stretched.
He took the axe and walked into the depths of the woods.
He already had a preliminary idea for the bathing problem.
If the growth of plants hadn't changed much, at the current temperature, he should be able to find bamboo.
By using bamboo to divert the river water to the shore,
he could prevent the dangerous creatures in the river.
Based on the growth habits of bamboo, he soon found a bamboo forest in a damp area.
He aimed the axe in his hand at the bamboo and chopped heavily.
The axe with the characteristic easily chopped the entire bamboo down.
In just one hour, enough bamboo had accumulated in front of Zhang Bei.
He found a suitable vine to tie the bamboo together.
He reached out, shouldered it, and walked toward the wooden cabin.
Wu Yingcai: 【Tsk, they're cooking porridge over there!】
Li Qinqin: 【You chop wood, I cook?】
Qiu Xingwen: 【How did it suddenly get a bit heartwarming?】
Su Xiao Xiao crouched on the ground, watching Zhang Bei put down the bamboo: "I cooked some porridge, eat a little first!"
Zhang Bei looked at Su Xiao Xiao in surprise: "You know how to cook porridge?"
Su Xiao Xiao's face turned red: "Cooking porridge is all I can do."
Zhang Bei smiled and reached out to take a few bamboo shoots from the bamboo pile nearby.
"Take these and wash them; we're eating this!"
Su Xiao Xiao's face was full of surprise: "Bamboo shoots!"
During this time, it had been nothing but roasted meat or fish; although the meat was indeed delicious,
who could stand eating it every single day!
Looking at the bamboo shoots Zhang Bei handed over, Su Xiao Xiao was already drooling.
She quickly washed the bamboo shoots and handed them to Zhang Bei.
Zhang Bei had already put the porridge from the pot into a basin and re-boiled a pot of water.
He reached out and pulled up the bullet comments from the live broadcast room.
"Today, I'll teach everyone a simple stir-fried bamboo shoot dish; even those with clumsy hands can learn it!"
Hong Hui: 【I'm learning to cook from a survival live stream?】
Wu Yingcai: 【This is truly absurd; why do I feel like A-Su has even gained weight?】
Li Qinqin: 【Who is A-Su?】
Ye Fan: 【We decided in the middle of the night yesterday; from now on, Su Xiao Xiao is called A-Su!】
Zhang Bei's voice soon came out: "Just boil the bamboo shoots in boiling water for four or five minutes."
Seeing that the bamboo shoots in the water were boiled enough, Zhang Bei used chopsticks to fish them out.
"Next is to tear the bamboo shoots from the middle into shreds."
The amount of bamboo shoots wasn't small, so Su Xiao Xiao also crowded over to help Zhang Bei process them.
After processing all the bamboo shoots, Zhang Bei reached out and took a piece of fat meat and placed it in the pot.
"Everyone at home can add soybean oil directly, and you can also cut some chili to stir-fry."
Seeing that the fat in the pot had already turned into oil, Zhang Bei reached out and threw the bamboo shoots into the pot.
He stir-fried them quickly a few times and placed them directly on a plate.
Looking at Su Xiao Xiao, who was drooling nearby: "Get a bowl and eat!"
Su Xiao Xiao trotted over to get the tableware.
The two of them drank porridge and ate the first vegetable dish from the Ice Age.
Although there were no seasonings, this bamboo, which hadn't suffered any pollution, had a natural, fresh fragrance.
Su Xiao Xiao couldn't stop eating, one mouthful of porridge and one mouthful of bamboo shoots.
Zhang Bei hadn't eaten vegetables for a long time either; eating them occasionally felt pretty good.
Niu Xuanming: 【Damn, it's clearly just vegetables, why are they eating it so deliciously!】
Li Qinqin: 【Suddenly realized they have been eating meat for more than ten days!】
Wu Yingcai: 【Who can believe it, my life in the modern city isn't eating as well as in the Ice Age!】
The happy breakfast ended; Zhang Bei took the axe and split the bamboo down the middle.
He placed the bamboo in the water, following the direction of the flow.
Watching the water flow out from the other end, Zhang Bei quickly connected the next piece of bamboo.
The sunlight gradually reached the center; although they were in the Ice Age, the temperature at the equator was still above zero.
Zhang Bei wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around, and looked at the diversion device he had built.
Countless bamboo pieces were set up more than a meter above the ground.
It connected all the way to outside the wooden cabin, and here, Zhang Bei had also dug a drainage ditch.
Looking at the position of the outlet, Zhang Bei drew a square on the ground.
Next was to use the remaining bamboo to build a simple little bathroom.
The task of building the bathroom was much simpler.
In less than half an hour, a small, emerald-green house appeared beside the wooden cabin.
Zhang Bei frowned as he looked at the bamboo house in front of him.
The gray light on his palm flickered as he pressed it onto the bamboo.
The emerald-green color instantly turned gray, and the bathroom instantly transformed into a stone house.
After installing the final wooden door, a house with only walls took shape.
Zhang Bei reached out and pushed it; the entire wall surface was extremely hard, and unless it was a large animal, it would be difficult to break through.
Looking at the anxious Su Xiao Xiao nearby: "It's ready. Just put down that little wooden plug on the bamboo and you can take a bath."
Su Xiao Xiao cheered and hurriedly dove inside.
And at this moment, the live broadcast room was even more jubilant.
Li Qinqin: 【Room number: 189, everyone hurry!】
Wu Yingcai: 【Thanks to the person above, I'm going first!】
Hong Hui: 【Wait for me, I'll be there soon!】
The entire live broadcast room lost nearly half its number of people in an instant.
But in just a few seconds, the number of people in the room increased again.
Niu Xuanming: 【Why can this live stream still shift the camera?】
Li Qinqin: 【So infuriating, what was I waiting for since early morning?】
Wu Yingcai: 【Woooo, Brother Bei, let's charge in!】
Zhang Bei didn't pay any attention to these "LSPs" (lecherous people) in the live broadcast room.
He had known about the camera shifting a long time ago.
Whether it was when he went to the bathroom before, or when he wiped his body with snow.
The entire live broadcast room would turn into scenery.
Su Xiao Xiao was taking a bath, and Zhang Bei wasn't idle either.
His Hunter mission still had three carnivores left.
But this time, Zhang Bei had already thought about how to handle it.
There were still some vines left from the collection; he could weave them into a large net and make a trap.
He would make a trigger mechanism according to the size of the carnivores. ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
