The process is very simple to describe, but the actual production and extraction is extremely time-consuming.

Because each section of the sago palm tree is quite difficult to process, let alone six sections!

This greatly increases the time cost.

Fortunately, Chen Fan and his group had plenty of time, so there was absolutely no need to worry about that...

In a short while, Liu Feifei brought back all the finished charcoal.

The finished product turned out quite well, and it made a crisp sound.

You can usually tell the quality of charcoal just by the sound it makes.

Charcoal that makes a crisp, ringing sound is generally of good quality...

"Chen Fan, look! Is this charcoal a success?" Liu Feifei quickly brought over two pieces of charcoal and asked.

"Hmm, this charcoal is of very high quality!"

"I didn't expect to be so successful on my first attempt at making charcoal." Chen Fan took the charcoal and examined it; the quality was indeed very good.

When firing pottery with this type of charcoal, the temperature that can be reached is higher.

The resulting pottery will naturally be of higher quality.

"How about... I go and make some more charcoal?"

"Anyway, you don't need my help here, and I have nothing else to do."

"It seemed pretty simple when I saw you do it last time."

Liu Feifei spoke up.

Actually, this kind of thing looks quite simple; you can probably learn it after watching it once.

As for the final product, that remains to be seen.

"Okay! That's perfect."

"To be honest, we didn't have enough charcoal to burn before." Chen Fan quickly nodded in agreement.

The charcoal produced in one firing is certainly not enough to fire pottery.

If Liu Feifei can complete it on her own, then Chen Fan will be able to save a lot of time.

"I guarantee the mission will be completed..."

After Liu Feifei nodded seriously, she happily went to collect firewood.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Fan continued with his work.

The tree trunk was repeatedly broken into pieces with a hammer, then rubbed and washed.

Finally, filter and dry...

Actually, when making potato starch at home in the past, it was necessary to filter and dry it several times.

Repeated drying and filtration result in higher quality starch with fewer impurities!

But there's no need for that here.

Anyway, a little impurity won't make a big difference.

When you pursue a higher quality of life in the future, you can filter it again.

Time slips away second by second amidst hard work.

The two of them were extremely busy, but some other contestants were having a much easier time.

Take Xia Xue and Yang Bin from Group Nine, for example.

Because Yang Bin is a retired firefighter, his physical fitness is excellent.

Compared to those who train in the gym, their physical fitness is so much better...

Furthermore, for a period of time after retiring, he also studied some knowledge about wilderness survival.

Because most retired firefighters can't stand staying at home; they find it incredibly boring...

Therefore, I always like to find things I enjoy to do.

For example, wilderness survival, a more adventurous form of exploration, is quite popular among them.

Of course, this is only Yang Bin's perspective; other firefighters might have different ideas...

With these factors in mind, Yang Bin lived quite comfortably on this deserted island.

The two chose fishing equipment and a bow and arrow as their survival tools!

Just a fishing kit solved their food problem...

Of course, we eat fish almost every day.

Occasionally, I'll go into the sea to catch some seafood to eat.

"Uncle Yang, we've been eating fish all this time!"

"I feel like I'm turning into a fish..."

"How about we catch some wild game to eat sometime?"

“I saw some traces of wild rabbits nearby a while ago. If we could catch one, it would be delicious,” Xia Xue said as the two of them were in the shelter.

It's been almost a month, and I've been eating wild vegetables and seafood almost every day.

You'll naturally get tired of it after a while.

More importantly, almost all seafood is considered a cold food, and since girls' constitutions are yin, eating too much of it can cause them great discomfort.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't call me Uncle Yang, just call me Brother Bin."

“I’m only 40 years old this year, which is just over ten years older than you! Calling me ‘brother’ is just right.” Yang Bin valued this title quite a bit.

Because he is only forty years old this year (by the traditional Chinese age reckoning).

Actually, she's not much older than Xia Xue...

So being called "uncle" all the time still feels a little strange.

"Okay, Uncle Yang, hehe..."

Xia Xue said with a grin.

In fact, Queen Xia Xue is also very clever.

Although she has little experience in wilderness survival as a celebrity, she knows how to get along well with her teammates.

So Yang Bin also really likes Xia Xue. Teaming up with such a quirky and clever girl is actually quite nice.

Xia Xue then asked, "Uncle Yang, why do you always care so much about nominal age and actual age? What's the difference between nominal age and actual age?"

In the past, when she told others her age, she always told them her actual age.

So there's no such thing as "nominal age" in the traditional Chinese age system, but Yang Bin always talks about his actual age and nominal age...

So he was very curious.

"Are you sure you want to ask this question?" Yang Bin smiled and asked.

"Of course, I'm very interested!"

Xia Xue nodded quickly.

Many viewers in the live stream were also interested.

After all, most people say their actual age when they talk about their age, and it's rare for them to say their nominal age.

"Simply put, your actual age is the age your mother was when she gave birth to you, while your nominal age is the age your father was when he gave birth to you!" Yang Bin said with a smile.

Actually, this explanation is very, very reasonable.

"Ah!!" Xia Xue was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.

That description is so incredibly vivid!

The description of age in both the actual year and the traditional year is absolutely correct.

But after hearing this description, why do I feel so uncomfortable?

It's even worse than drinking the fake liquor sold by Ga Zi...

I really shouldn't have asked that question!

The live stream room instantly became lively.

"Holy crap!! I didn't expect Uncle Yang to be a joker too. That analogy is brilliant."

"This isn't a metaphor; it's a description of the facts..."

"Hahaha!! The age her dad was when she was born, I burst out laughing..."
