Chapter 18 Searching for Clay

Lu Fan woke up in the shelter, sunlight filtering through the leaves and falling on his face, bringing a touch of warmth.

He stretched, got out of his bed of leaves, quickly tidied himself up, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and prepared to set off to explore new territory.

The backpack contained dry food, water, a newly made bow and arrows, and a special expectation—to find clay and make pottery.

"With clay, you can make a decent pot and never have to worry about cooking again."

Lu Fan pondered to himself, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

He set off along the path near the shelter, humming a little tune he had made up, his steps light and quick.

As he walked, he suddenly saw a gray shadow moving in the bushes ahead. He immediately stopped, held his breath, and quietly approached.

A timid pheasant spotted ahead.

A brightly colored pheasant was foraging for food in the grass, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

"Could it be the one I let go before? This time, it'll come into my belly!" Thinking this, Lu Fan couldn't help but lick his lips.

Lu Fan took the bow and arrow from his back, nocked the arrow, drew the bow, and aimed in one smooth motion. With a "whoosh," the arrow shot out like an arrow released from a bow, hitting the pheasant squarely in the head.

The pheasant flapped its wings a few times and then collapsed to the ground.

Viewers in the live stream flooded the chat with comments like, "Wow, Lu Fan's archery skills are amazing!"

"One shot, and this pheasant is sure to be our dinner tonight."

"I like pheasants too?"

Why? Because it's cheap?

Wang Tao excitedly said, "Lu Fan's archery skills are amazing. Having a bow and arrow really makes a difference; it greatly improves hunting efficiency."

Zhao Hangjun analyzed: "The use of bow and arrow not only saves physical strength, but also allows hunting from a safe distance, which is a very practical skill for wilderness survival."

Lu Fan stepped forward, picked up the pheasant, skillfully plucked its feathers, cleaned its internal organs, and then hung the pheasant on the rope around his waist before continuing on his way.

Clay usually grows in places with water sources, so Lu Fan decided to look for it near a water source.

Just as he was carefully observing the soil.

There is clay buried about 10 centimeters underground, about two meters ahead.

Lu Fan's eyes lit up, thinking, "Great! The clues are really helpful. I didn't expect to find them so quickly."

He crouched down and used a knife to dig into the soil.

The viewers in the live stream were completely bewildered.

Is there anything here?

"But I can't see anything, only dirt."

"Has another iron ore deposit been discovered?"

After digging about ten centimeters, the clay was exposed.

Lu Fan picked up a little soil with his hand. The soil was fine and sticky, with a red and white color, and it was a bit damp after the rain.

"It really is clay."

When the viewers in the live stream saw Lu Fan find the clay, they flooded the chat with comments like, "Lu Fan found the clay! That's awesome!"

"It's like a treasure-hunting mouse, it can even find this."

"As expected of a master."

"With clay, we can make pots. I look forward to Lu Fan's skills."

It was difficult to dig with his hands, so Lu Fan used a dagger.

The clay, still damp, was very heavy. Lu Fan wrapped it in large leaves and put it into his basket, which weighed over ten kilograms.

With the clay on his back, Lu Fan decided to take the opportunity to check his traps.

He walked from the downstream to the upstream of the stream.

Edible wild celery has been discovered.

Sure enough, a clump of green plants appeared by the stream ahead, with large leaves and a somewhat peculiar shape. He walked over and observed them carefully.

"What is this? Can I eat it?"

The viewers in the live stream were also somewhat confused, speculating about the effects of wild celery.

Wang Tao looked at Zhao Hangjun, who immediately began to explain: "This is wild celery, which has the effects of lowering blood pressure, protecting blood vessels, and clearing heat and detoxifying."

"I've heard that celery kills sperm, but I don't know if it's true," Lu Fan muttered to himself.

But then he thought, "What am I afraid of in this desolate wilderness?"

After saying that, Lu Fan used his dagger to cut off a piece and threw it into his basket.

We finally reached the small pond.

The trap wasn't triggered, but Lu Fan wasn't discouraged. As long as the wild boar was still nearby, it would appear sooner or later.

After fetching some more water with the bamboo tube, Lu Fan returned to the shelter.

Back at the shelter, Lu Fan immediately got busy preparing a special dish—Beggar's Chicken.

He first cleaned the pheasant and marinated it with wild ginger, wild scallions, and some gathered herbs, allowing the chicken to fully absorb the flavor of the spices.

After marinating, he wrapped the pheasant tightly with several large leaves, then sealed it with mud, leaving only a small hole for ventilation.

Next, he placed the wrapped pheasant in a pit, then covered it with some embers and slowly roasted it with the embers.

The live stream audience was also discussing the food Lu Fan had made.

"Can chickens be cooked like this?"

"That's amazing! I've never seen anything like it before."

At this point, Wang Tao explained, "This dish is called 'Beggar's Chicken,' and it has a long history in my country. Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang once ate this dish."

As time went by, the mud gradually hardened, releasing a fragrant aroma of chicken.

Lu Fan waited patiently, knowing it would be a delicious dinner.

As the time was almost up and the aroma grew stronger, Lu Fan dug out the beggar's chicken.

When you knock away the outer layer of soil with a stone, a fragrance immediately fills the air.

Lu Fan carefully peeled back the leaves, revealing golden, glistening chicken.

He cut off a small piece with his dagger, put it in his mouth, and found the chicken tender and juicy. The fragrance of the leaves blended perfectly with the savory chicken, making him nod repeatedly and praise it highly.

This meal was a step up in quality.

Live broadcast room.

"Wow, it's making my mouth water, it looks so tender."

"I want to eat chicken too."

"Upstairs, get on the number."

Yu Rui couldn't help but lean closer to the screen to look: "I really envy Lu Fan for being able to eat so much delicious food, and it's all natural."

After finishing his meal, Lu Fan didn't rest; he decided to start making pottery.

He first placed the clay on a flat stone and kneaded it repeatedly with his hands to squeeze out the air bubbles, making the clay more even and delicate.

Then, he used his fingers to shape a bowl in the clay, and carefully used the edge of a seashell to trim the edge of the bowl, making the shape more regular.
