In Stardate 9102, humanity had left Earth for seven millennia. In the interstellar era, Earth's civilization was lost, and humans survived on nutrient solutions. In this very year, an Earthling...
Chapter 9 Boiling Water
Three larger stones are placed as the foundation stones in the shape of an equilateral triangle. Then, two of the three openings are blocked, leaving only one for the firewood. The other two openings are sealed to facilitate the fire, otherwise it would be really frustrating to start a fire when the wind is strong.
Tu Rongrong recalled that when she was still on Earth, she used this primitive firewood stove to make a fire. Every time the fire wouldn't start, she would keep fiddling with it until she wanted to blow up the stove. She was so angry that she cried.
Tu Rongrong went to the river to dig some yellow mud and picked up a lot of stones from the creek. At the same time, she explained to the audience in the live broadcast room - although there are no audiences in the live broadcast room now, her attitude should also be correct, right?
Moreover, live broadcasts can be recorded, and the complete video can be uploaded to the host’s homepage after the live broadcast is over, so Tu Rongrong explained while building the stove.
"These three stones are the basic foundation. An equilateral triangle is a very stable angle, so a pot placed on this stove won't fall over. There are also three stones forming a triangle, and two of its corners need to be sealed, otherwise it will be difficult to light a fire when the wind is strong."
"Then we used some stones we picked up from the stream and the sticky yellow mud to block the sides, creating a stove that was both practical and aesthetically pleasing."
Tu Rongrong built the stove with stones and yellow mud, and she was very satisfied with the stove she made. This kind of stove is more mobile and can be used to heat any pot.
If you make a stove that can only hold a wok, you can't put a soup pot in it. So this stove is pretty good. When they make money in the future and have enough money to buy materials, they won't need to burn firewood to cook.
"Okay, now that we have built the stove, we can prepare delicious food." Tu Rongrong didn't find any food crops, neither rice nor flour, so she didn't plan to make staple food.
"Rongrong, the pheasants are back." Tu Che's movements were still very quick. When Tu Rongrong had washed the mushrooms and was almost finishing building the stove, he had already returned with a few pheasants. There were the gray pheasants and some golden pheasants with very bright feathers.
Tu Rongrong was very satisfied when she saw these pheasants, each weighing several kilograms, probably more than five kilograms.
Tu Rongrong is a rabbit spirit. She doesn't eat rabbits simply because she doesn't like the taste. She'll also eat spicy rabbit meat or spicy rabbit cubes. She doesn't dislike her own kind—a spirit spirit that has awakened its spirits wouldn't consider unintelligent plants or animals its own kind.
Now she didn't have enough ingredients to make spicy rabbit cubes and spicy rabbit heads, so she didn't let Tu Che catch wild rabbits.
"Uncle Che, please help me kill these chickens. I'll boil some water first." Tu Rongrong was very satisfied looking at the fat pheasants. She didn't plan to keep two to kill next time she ate them. It would be better to kill them all at once and air-dry them.
Tu Che nodded after hearing what Tu Rongrong said. Just as he was about to pick up the pheasant and kill it neatly, he heard Tu Rongrong's voice say, "Uncle Che, find a container to keep the chicken blood when you kill it later. Chicken blood can also be eaten."
Tu Che: “…”
Tu Che was helpless and could only nod and take the pheasant to deal with it. Tu Yuanyuan over there had almost scattered all the mushrooms. When she saw the pheasant, she wanted to go over and take a look, but she was too timid to get close.
Tu Rongrong told her sister not to get close to the fire and didn't pay much attention to her. It was still quite safe near the spaceship, so she was not too worried about her sister's safety.
Tu Rongrong used the soup pot made by her uncle Che to fill a large pot of water. After bringing the water back and placing it on the stove, she started to make a fire with the branches they had cut down when they were chopping trees before.
Because I had thought about using it to cook or make food, I had cut down the unusable branches and dried them. Now they can be used as firewood, saving the effort of collecting firewood.
Tu Rongrong lit the fire, then covered the soup pot and continued to cook.
"We are making fire now to pluck the pheasants. The pheasant feathers are difficult to remove without boiling water. The main reason is that I am on a remote planet now and I have nothing on hand, so I can only use this more primitive method to pluck the pheasants." Tu Rongrong said to the audience while making fire.
Tu Rongrong now had some free time to check if there were any viewers in her live broadcast room. She was surprised to find that there were not just a few viewers in her live broadcast room, nor were there none at all. There were actually hundreds of people watching her live broadcast?
Even though a few hundred people wasn't a lot in a StarCraft world with a population of around 100 billion, it was only her first day of live streaming, and it had only been a few minutes, so she was quite surprised to see hundreds of people watching.
[What is the anchor doing? Why is he playing in the mud? ]
[What did the host say? What is a stove?]
[Host, your hands are so beautiful, why do you want to play with mud? ]
[Anchor, what are you doing with these chickens?]
What is a pheasant? Are these beautiful birds pheasants?
[Anchor, why did you kill these beautiful pheasants? ]
[What? Hair removal? What do you want to do with it?]
[Anchor, why are you so cruel? Why did you kill these pheasants and pluck their feathers?]
Tu Rongrong: “…”
"You all say I'm cruel, but haven't you all seen those videos of people hunting exotic beasts or fighting in battles? Why are you so sensitive? Compared to hunting exotic beasts, killing a few chickens shouldn't be that bloody, right?"
"Those of you who visit live streaming websites, don't you only watch entertainment live streaming? Have you ever seen live streaming of hunting exotic beasts?"
"So your audience is so sensitive? How old are they? Are they under ten?"
"How can you watch live broadcasts casually when you're under ten? What if you see something you shouldn't see and it destroys your young minds?"
"Should I check your tipping records? If a minor randomly tips a livestreamer, will the livestreamer be held responsible? Will they be ordered to return the money?"
"Hey, if you're underage, don't give me any tips. I don't have the money to compensate you."
Only a few hundred spectators: "..."
The next second, the few viewers in the live broadcast room were shocked.
[Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen a host arguing with the audience.]
[Anchor, is it really okay for you to be so sarcastic about your bread and butter?]
[Host, you sound like a lovely young lady, but why are your words so offensive?]
[This anchor is toxic, she actually scolds the audience!!!]
