Lu Fan transmigrated into a parallel world where Earth's resources are depleted. At a critical moment, the Dao Wilderness Survival System descended. Each country selects three representatives t...
In an instant, with a "bang," a huge box appeared out of thin air and landed steadily on the ground.
Lu Fan curiously leaned over, opened the box, and wow, it was full of a wide variety of snacks.
A rough count revealed no fewer than a hundred varieties, including potato chips, spicy strips, jelly, chocolate, and more.
[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
[Chinese player Ling Yue triggers 10,000x return]
[Solar-powered TVs cost 10 million]
Chinese athlete An Lan triggers a 10,000-fold return.
[A snack gift package worth ten million]
Upon seeing these two announcements, Lu Fan's expression froze instantly.
Then, with a smirk, his face was full of envy and jealousy, making him a complete "sour lemon."
"You guys are incredibly lucky! I've been running around doing all this and haven't gotten any rebates. It's so unfair!"
Of course, it was just a joke. Seeing that both of them had made some gains, Lu Fan was happy for them.
As she spoke, she pretended to wipe away non-existent tears, her exaggerated manner making An Lan and Ling Yue burst into laughter.
The live stream room was buzzing with excitement.
In the live stream, the viewers were also amused by this funny scene, and the chat was flooded with comments:
"Hahaha, Lu Fan's envious expression is absolutely priceless! I'm so jealous I could die right here!"
"I've never seen anything like this before! This is the first time I've seen the great Lu Fan envious of others. It's not easy, it's hilarious!"
"Being able to watch TV is fantastic! Now they won't be bored in the wilderness, and their lives feel so much more fulfilling!"
"Ten million snack gift packs, what a grand gesture! Surely it's my turn to try some this time. Surely the boss wouldn't like spicy strips too, hehe."
"What are you thinking? Does the leader not have any children? Even if he doesn't have any children of his own, he still has the children of his relatives."
"Six, so even if it's shit, we don't get a share?"
"You can have as much shit as you want."
"Speaking of which, haven't foreigners already developed the technology to turn poop into hamburgers?"
After a flurry of activity, everyone's stomachs, as if in concert, began to rumble one after another, clearly announcing that dinner time had quietly arrived.
Lu Fan's gaze was fixed on the shark fin he had finally obtained after many twists and turns, his eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.
It felt as if a mouthwatering delicacy would appear before one's eyes in the next second.
He kept rubbing his hands together, muttering to himself, "Shark fin!"
He held the shark fins carefully in his hands as if they were rare treasures, walked to the stream, and began to wash them meticulously.
His gaze was focused and earnest, scrutinizing every crevice of the shark fin. He was so engrossed that he almost pulled out a magnifying glass to examine it closely.
"Let me make this clear first: I've never cooked shark fin soup before, so I'm not responsible if it's not done well."
An Lan and Ling Yue watched him with great interest, and couldn't help but chuckle at his serious expression.
After cleaning, Lu Fan returned to the camp with light steps and gently placed the shark fin into a pot.
As he worked, he muttered, "This shark fin needs to be simmered slowly to bring out all the flavor."
As he spoke, he skillfully rummaged through the dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots he had previously prepared, a confident smile spreading across his face: "These are all treasures for enhancing flavor. With them, this shark fin soup is guaranteed to be amazingly delicious."
Although I've never seen real shark fin before, I suspect the flesh might be a bit tough, so it'll need to be cooked for a while longer.
He deftly tossed all the mushrooms and bamboo shoots into the pot at once, his skillful movements making him look just like an experienced professional chef.
Immediately afterwards, he put the lid on the pot, turned down the heat, and said with a smile, "Simmering over low heat is the secret to making soup. You can't rush things."
He dusted himself off and looked at the pot steaming with satisfaction, eagerly anticipating the delicious shark fin soup.
When it came to choosing a main dish, the three of them immediately agreed to have hot pot.
After all, the sheep were hunted in the morning and are incredibly fresh right now. It would be a waste of nature's gift if we didn't eat them while they were still alive.
As Lu Fan spoke, he took out a piece of lard and enthusiastically introduced, "The aroma of frying the bottom of the pot with lard is simply amazing!"
He put the lard into the pot, and soon a sizzling sound came from the pot as the lard slowly melted, and a rich aroma instantly spread.
Then, he added a large spoonful of fermented soybean paste, and in an instant, the aroma of spiciness filled the entire camp.
"This fermented soybean paste arrived just in time; with it, the broth is already halfway to success."
He proudly shook the jar of fermented soybean paste in his hand.
This fermented soybean paste was obtained from a condiment gift pack I received previously.
Then, he added scallions, ginger, and other seasonings, and kept stir-frying them in the pot. The aroma became increasingly rich, making people's mouths water and unable to resist swallowing their saliva.
"Alright, the base is ready. Now add water and get ready to cook!"
As he spoke, he poured a large ladle of water into the pot, and soon the pot began to bubble.
While the pot was simmering, Lu Fan began to prepare the mutton.
He took out a sharp dagger and skillfully sliced the mutton, each slice being thin and even.
"The mutton should be sliced thinly so that it absorbs the flavors better and tastes better when cooked in the hot pot."
As he cut, he patiently explained to An Lan and Ling Yue.
Next, he cut up some tripe, intestines, and the large squid that had almost been forgotten earlier.
After cutting the ingredients, he arranged them neatly on a plate, his meticulous arrangement resembling the display of carefully crafted works of art.
With everything prepared, the three of them sat around the hot pot, ready to enjoy this sumptuous dinner.
"Come on, try the broth I made, and see if it suits your taste," Lu Fan warmly invited.
An Lan picked up a slice of mutton, dipped it in the pot a few times, put it in her mouth, and her eyes lit up instantly: "Mmm~ This tastes amazing!"
Hearing the praise, Lu Fan beamed and quickly said, "Eat as much as you like, there's plenty!"
As he spoke, he added a large handful of mutton to the pot.
During the meal, Lu Fan took extra care of An Lan, constantly putting food on her plate, sometimes a piece of mutton, sometimes a squid tentacle.
"Anlan, try this, it's delicious."
"This tripe is also very good, you should eat more."
"Is it hot? Do you want me to blow on it for you?"
"Eat more meat and less vegetables, look how thin you are."
...
His warm manner was like that of someone taking care of their most beloved child.
An Lan felt a little embarrassed by him, and blushed several times as she looked at him, but Lu Fan seemed not to notice and continued to serve her food.
Seeing this amusing scene, Ling Yue couldn't help but smile like an aunt, teasingly saying, "You two are really interesting."
The three of them ate hotpot and chatted happily, their laughter echoing throughout the campsite, creating a warm and wonderful atmosphere.
In the live stream, the viewers' comments were also very lively:
"Wow, shark fin soup and hot pot, this wilderness life is so comfortable!"
"This standard of living is almost on par with a state banquet!"
"Compared to a state banquet, it's a bit exaggerated. A state banquet brings together top chefs from the culinary world, and the ingredients are all carefully selected top-quality ones. It's a much higher standard."
"So, from beginning to end, we viewers were the ones who ate the worst food? That's so disheartening!"
