The efficiency of division of labor is high, and they are all skillful. After Sang Ning rolled out the dumpling wrappers, prepared the filling, and taught them how to wrap dumplings, the group was a little slow at first due to their unfamiliarity, but their speed picked up later.
So, hundreds of millions of viewers watched as the rattan mat was filled with one white and tender dumpling after another.
One dumpling wrapper after another was replaced. By the time all the dumpling wrappers were used up, the total number of dumplings had reached more than six hundred.
The dumplings came in various shapes, and with two pots available, Sang Ning made both boiled and pan-fried dumplings.
These dumplings have thin skins and generous fillings. There are three types of fillings: pork and mushroom, pork and bamboo shoot, and shrimp and goji berry. One hundred of each type are made, for a total of three hundred.
Instead of making the remaining dumplings, I lined a basket with ice, then placed leaves on top as dividers, put the dumplings on top, and finally placed another leaf on top to preserve them. I plan to boil or fry them when I want to eat them again.
Sang Ning ate twenty-five dumplings, and the remaining two hundred and seventy-five dumplings were divided equally among Emmanuel and the others.
While Sang Ning and his group enjoyed a pleasant breakfast, the other contestants also began to strive and work hard for the new day.
Fang Jingxiu didn't know how she survived all that heavy rain.
After digging up some turtle eggs and collecting a few crabs, prawns, and coconut snails on the beach for breakfast and grilling them, he looked as if he had finally come back to life and said, "I'm going to make a raft and leave this hellhole."
The seafood was awful, the turtle eggs were awful, he'd really had enough.
He wanted to eat meat, leafy greens, mushrooms, and so on. What he wanted most was dumplings. He also wanted to live the same life as Emmanuel and the others, a wonderful life where someone would cook for him and he would wait for the food to come to him.
Therefore, making a raft to leave this damned island became a very necessary thing.
Now that the wind and rain have stopped, he's going to find Sang Ning and the others.
Fang Jingxiu was full of ambition, and his audience cheered him on.
[Go for it, Xiuer! You can do it! We believe in you!]
【Ahhh, my beloved Xiuer is finally leaving this lonely island, heading out to the vast world beyond the island like a brave warrior. Go Xiuer!】
[Go, Xiuer! Go, go, go!]
[Xiuer, are you sure you can do this? Should we connect with Sang Ning's livestream and have her teach you again?]
[You upstairs are seriously underestimating our Xiuer! Guards, drag that person out and execute them!]
"Not necessarily."
Fang Jingxiu waved his hand and laughed, "No need to connect with Sang Ning, I can manage."
Just kidding, if he can't even do something as simple as building a raft, then he's truly a complete waste of space.
Of course, whether it's useless or not isn't the point. The point is that if the raft can't be made, he can't leave this damned island and join Sang Ning and the others, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, the construction of this raft must succeed; failure is not an option.
However, once Fang Jingxiu actually started making the raft, he discovered that it wasn't as easy as he had imagined.
A raft that can support his weight and needs to cross the ocean must first be neither too small, as it might not be able to support his weight, nor too large, as he might not be able to control it.
Therefore, after careful calculation, Fang Jingxiu decided to find 16 logs of uniform thickness.
He carefully selected 16 trees of moderate size and began to cut them down.
However, his tools were inadequate, so in the end, it took him three days to cut down all 16 trees.
After the trees were felled, the branches and vines were trimmed, and then the timber was transported out.
The trees were all felled in the forest, and the roads were difficult to travel. Transporting these 16 trees from the forest to the beach was a huge project. By the time it was all done, Fang Jingxiu felt like she was half dead.
Then, we need to find vines to tie these pieces of wood. The choice of vines is also very important. They can't be too thick or too thin. If they are too thick, they will be difficult to handle, and if they are too thin, they will break easily.
In addition, it must have excellent toughness, otherwise it will easily rot and break when soaked in seawater for a long time.
This alone is enough to eliminate 99 percent of the world's vines.
Whether the remaining one percent can be found is unknown.
The search lasted another three days, and Fang Jingxiu finally found a vine that was reasonably suitable. The reason it was reasonably suitable but not particularly suitable was because he had not found a particularly suitable vine.
So they had no choice but to make do.
But just in case, he gathered a large amount of vines, intending to take them with him on the journey, so that if the vines binding the raft rotted along the way, they could be replaced.
After all the preparations were completed, he began to officially start building the bamboo raft.
Once he started, he realized how difficult it was to arrange the logs in rows and tie them together with vines.
While they were busy taking care of the front, the vines tied several trees together and continued on to the back, but the trees in front started to loosen and shift.
Once we go back and process the vines and wood again, we'll have to start all over again for the rest.
After finally getting everything sorted out, Fang Jinxiu thought she had accomplished her mission. She grabbed the raft to see if she could go out to sea when the vines snapped and the tied-up logs scattered all over the ground.
Fang Jingxiu, "..."
audience,"!!!"
[Xiuxiu, don't worry, you've already done a great job. We're not afraid, keep trying. If you don't succeed the first time, try again; if you don't succeed the second time, try a third time. You will definitely succeed.]
[It's okay, Xiuxiu. You have to believe in yourself. One failure doesn't mean anything. Remember, failure is the mother of success. If all else fails, we can ask for help.]
[Seeking outside help probably won't help. I feel the root cause of the raft's loosening is that Xiuxiu's binding technique is flawed. How about we try a different binding method, Xiuxiu?]
【The binding method is indeed problematic. I've tried it, and there's a significant difference between vines and rope. Vines lack friction and aren't as suitable for various knotting methods as rope. Most importantly, vines require a high degree of control over the force because they break easily. Xiuxiu, try the slipknot method.】
Fang Jingxiu, "...The slip knot method?"
Yes, I've tried it, the slipknot method works.
This viewer then posted his experimental diagrams and a video.
Fang Jingxiu looked at it and realized that it was unlikely to work, mainly because the two of them were using different vines, and the thickness of the vines was also different.
The vines he picked were thicker, while those used by the audience were thinner. In terms of handling, the audience's vines were easier to handle than his. It was difficult for him to even bend his vine; he needed to use a clever technique.
But there's no other way right now, so let's give it a try.
The attempt naturally failed; not only that, but he also broke two vines while trying to make the knot.
