Then, she asked Mu Tao to go to the nearby grove to collect dry branches, grass, and fallen leaves to start a fire.
Mu Tao didn't know how to start a fire by rubbing sticks together, so in the end, Sang Ning had to personally start the fire.
Mu Tao, "!!!"
Mu Tao stared in disbelief at the blazing fire for a long time before finally asking, "Ningning, how did you start this fire?"
Why can't he?
"Friction generates heat."
Sang Ning spoke succinctly, taking a yam, cutting it in two, and burying it directly under the fire.
Next, I used a dagger to cut off the two fat pieces of fish fat from the belly of the big sea fish and fried them on a metal plate.
Memory metal conducts heat quickly; when fish oil is placed on it, it quickly makes a sizzling sound, and at the same time, the fishy smell comes out.
The five senses were activated in the live stream, so viewers in both live streams could smell the aroma.
Some people commented that it smelled terrible, while others thought it smelled wonderful; it was definitely an addictive fragrance.
Mu Tao...
It's the latter.
He took a deep breath of the fishy smell of the oil and said with a look of ecstasy, "Ningning, this smells so good."
Sang Ning: "...Whatever you like is fine."
"I love it so much."
As he spoke, he swallowed hard, his mouth watering. "Can I eat it now?"
"This is not for eating."
"...This is not what I expected."
Whether it's the same or not, this isn't for Mu Tao to eat.
While waiting for the fish oil to be rendered, Sang Ning used the water from the bamboo tube to rinse the scallions, ginger, garlic, wild chili peppers, and other ingredients she had picked, then sliced some and minced others.
Once all the ingredients were prepared, the fish oil was also ready.
This unknown sea fish was quite large, and its belly was full of fish oil. Two pieces of fish oil were rendered into most of the bamboo tube of fish oil. And that was after leaving a lot on the iron plate to fry the fish; otherwise, there would have been even more.
However, Sang Ning was already quite satisfied. With oil and salt, there was plenty of room for him to make a difference.
The fish pieces sizzled on the hot plate, making a sound that made the audience's teeth ache. Mu Tao felt a little bit of a toothache too, but considering that he didn't have to eat raw fish, he felt he could bear it.
As a result, he endured until both sides of the fish were fried to a golden brown, and when he sprinkled salt grains and strange green, white and pale yellow crumbs on the fish, it emitted a peculiar aroma.
The audience could smell it too.
"Holy crap, this smell is intoxicating, it's so damn fragrant."
"It not only smells delicious, but it also looks very appetizing. The golden fish pieces, with their combination of pale green, white, and pale yellow hues, look absolutely gorgeous."
"I don't know if it will taste good, but I feel like my mouth is watering."
“(￣ ii ￣;) Slurp.”
Mu Tao swallowed hard, her eyes fixed on the fish pieces. "Ningning, can we eat now?"
"That's fine."
Sang Ning used the bamboo chopsticks she had whittled to pick up a piece of fish, placed it on the lid of the bamboo tube, and handed it to Mu Tao, saying, "Try it."
"good."
Mu Tao was craving it, but his upbringing prevented him from using his hands, so he set his sights on Sang Ning's bamboo chopsticks.
"There are spares in the empty bamboo tubes in the basket, take one yourself."
Sang Ning was extremely grateful that she had whittled three pairs of bamboo chopsticks while weaving yesterday, otherwise it would have been awkward to have only one pair.
She doesn't have the habit of sharing chopsticks with others.
Meanwhile, Mu Tao quickly took out spare bamboo chopsticks and eagerly picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth.
It's a very simple recipe, with only salt and some other strange ingredients. It doesn't use any of the popular flavor enhancers on the market, yet the fish pieces are so tender that they practically explode with flavor.
He kept eating, and his audience, unable to resist the temptation, also took a bite.
Then, the audience was satisfied.
This fish is delicious, better than many natural restaurants.
The fish was too big for Sang Ning to finish cooking, but even so, the two of them managed to finish half of it together.
Mu Tao ate a lot, while she ate little, and in the end, she ate the roasted yam as her main dish.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Mu Tao packed up his things and left with Sang Ning with a satisfied look on his face. On the way, he couldn't help but say with emotion, "Ningning, I'm so glad to have met you. Don't worry, if there's any heavy or tiring work to do in the future, just tell me what to do."
Viewers in Mu Tao's live stream exclaimed, "!!!"
Is this a plan to cling to player number 238, Sang Ning?
Viewers in Sang Ning's live stream exclaimed, "!!!"
The plot twist was completely unexpected; to be honest, they were all stunned.
In the past, when contestants met on a desert planet, they would wish they could kill their rivals.
The competition was incredibly fierce; it was everywhere from the moment we were dropped onto the desolate planet.
The contestants this year all seem to have a different style.
First, An Yan and his group teamed up, and now Mu Tao and Sang Ning have also joined the team.
How to put it... this direction isn't what they wanted to see, but it has a certain freshness to it.
So, are they filing a complaint?
Or should I file a complaint?
However, complaints were useless, as the show's rules did not stipulate that contestants could not form teams.
With Mu Tao as a strong teammate, Sang Ning was able to collect survival supplies without any worries.
By the time they returned to the cave, it was already dark, and Mu Tao was exhausted, but fortunately, their harvest was plentiful.
Are you hungry?
I'm hungry.
Sang Ning said "Oh," and then said, "Wait a moment, I'll make something to eat."
"good."
So the audience saw Sang Ning busy cooking, while Mu Tao was not idle either. After searching the cave inside and out, he ran out and brought back a bunch of brightly colored large fern leaves.
"The drier the fern, the softer it becomes. Ningning, you can use it as a mat to sleep on; it's more comfortable and can also keep mosquitoes away."
That's quite thoughtful.
Sang Ning smiled and thanked him, then set the cold wild vegetable salad aside, and then fried some of the remaining fish pieces and cooked the rest into soup.
The staple food was, as usual, roasted yam.
Mu Tao is really easy to take care of. Maybe she's just tired of eating raw food. Not only is she not picky about food, but she also eats a lot and there's no waste.
Sang Ning was satisfied with this.
In their situation, waste is simply not an option.
Once the oil and salt run out, the hard times will return.
This little bit of oil and salt won't last for more than a few days, so the most urgent thing is to find a way to get salt and oil.
Olives can be pressed for oil, and seawater can be used to make salt.
With these two raw materials, it's not impossible to operate.
But there were only two of them, and even though Mu Tao's strength was beyond human capabilities, they couldn't use him as two people.
Therefore, they need help.
Are there any other players being placed in your area?
"No."
Sang Ning was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, thinking that they would have to come on their own, but then he added, "But I know where there are other contestants."
"...You met him?"
"Ah, I've met you."
