Chapter 31 Cassava, the King of Starches



The two soon returned to the shelter.

Liu Feifei went to the river to deal with the dead pheasants. Chen Fan told her that she could keep the pheasant wings and tail feathers for now.

Because these feathers can be used to make fletching for arrows.

Although they are not currently prepared to make bows and arrows, they may still need to use them if they encounter large prey nearby.

The lethality of a slingshot is ultimately quite limited.

Hunting pheasants and small birds might not be a problem, but they are helpless when faced with slightly larger animals.

Especially against large prey like wild boars and deer, slingshots do absolutely no harm.

Liu Feifei obediently did as she was told.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan began rapidly weaving chicken coops.

With the weaving skills rewarded by the system, this craft is almost a piece of cake.

The speed was so fast it was almost dazzling...

Meanwhile, in the sixth live broadcast room, the number of people watching online at the same time had reached more than 2.7 million.

Although this result is not the best, it ranks in the middle to upper range among the twenty live streaming rooms!

"Holy crap!! This Chen Fan is really awesome. Look at the way he weaves chicken coops and how fast he does it. It looks like he's a professional."

"He's really amazing! My grandfather was a professional bamboo craftsman, and Chen Fan's skills and speed are just as good as my grandfather's."

"People are most afraid of comparison. They are all young people, but when you compare them, Chen Fan is much stronger than Hua Yucheng and Cai Ji."

"Upstairs, you're going too far. You're comparing a young man to two girls! That's really unfair."

"Ah, right, right, right!! We really can't compare them like that."

Chen Fan: There are many ways to humiliate me, why did you choose this cruelest one?

"To be honest, I wasn't optimistic about Chen Fan and Liu Feifei at first, but now it seems they are both quite capable, and they have good personalities and get along very well."

"Yes, yes, yes!! I really like them both, and I'm rooting for them."

"Wow, you're amazing!! Do you have a girlfriend?? If not, you can consider me! I have a great body."

"Forget about it upstairs. Chen Fan has Liu Feifei by his side. How about the two of us make do? I'm in my prime, full of energy and strong!"

"Damn...can you guys please not talk about such sensitive topics next time?"

"If you don't include me next time we discuss this kind of issue, I'll just report you all..."

The live stream room was as lively as ever.

At first, many people were not optimistic about Chen Fan.

First of all, they thought Chen Fan was too ordinary, and apart from being a little handsome, he was good for nothing!

He has absolutely no right to be Liu Feifei's teammate.

But after watching for the past few days, they discovered that Chen Fan was actually quite capable.

Their wilderness survival experience and skills are outstanding, far surpassing those of ordinary young men.

In fact, compared to Huayucheng and Cai Ji, their advantages are simply too obvious.

They are both young people, both at the age of youthful vigor.

Chen Fan is masculine and handsome, while Hua Yucheng and the others embody feminine gentleness to the fullest extent.

...

Meanwhile, on the island, Chen Fan had already finished weaving the chicken coop.

After untying the tree bark binding the pheasant, they put it directly into the chicken coop.

By this time, Liu Feifei had already prepared the chicken and put it in the pot to cook.

The pheasant, used to its freedom, was clearly very uncomfortable when it was put into the coop and began to struggle wildly.

Chicken feathers were scattered all over the floor!

The survival rate of these wild animals in captivity is very low, especially for such temperamental animals.

When your freedom is restricted, it's easy to get so angry that you practically die.

"Chen Fan, this pheasant is too lively! If it keeps bumping around like this, it might kill itself."

Looking at the pheasants struggling inside the coop, Liu Feifei spoke up.

The pheasant has lost almost half of its feathers!

"It's okay, it won't affect the taste even if it dies."

"The more times you crash, the better the flesh might become!"

Chen Fan simply smiled, completely unconcerned.

It's just food anyway, so what difference does it make?

"That makes sense..."

"But if he's not dead, we can keep him alive for a few more days."

Liu Feifei nodded, then, as if suddenly remembering something, continued, "How about we give this pheasant a name?"

"If food is not too scarce in the short term, you can also keep it as a pet."

After hearing Liu Feifei's words, Chen Fan looked helpless.

Girls seem to have this kind of interest and hobby; they always like to give names to small animals they come across.

These days, even a piece of food has to be named. This is just too much.

However, Chen Fan still smiled and said, "Okay, then you can name it! But you can't get attached to it, otherwise it will affect your mood when you cook it."

Chen Fan's biggest fear was that Liu Feifei would become overly compassionate.

Then they'll utter some classic saintly quotes: "Kun Kun is so cute, why should we eat Kun Kun?"

Or, as some self-righteous celebrities famously say: "Do we really have to eat that piece of meat? Can't we live without eating meat?"

Chen Fan's answer was clear: That's right, I really can't live without eating meat.

"Relax, relax!! Even if I develop feelings for you, I won't develop feelings for a chicken that can't even sing, dance, rap, or play basketball."

Liu Feifei waved her hand confidently.

After saying that, she seemed to realize that her words were inappropriate, and her face immediately turned red.

Chen Fan didn't continue the topic!

...

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The delicious broth in the double-handled iron pot is boiling, and the aroma of chicken fills the air.

"Alright, let's start eating. After we finish, we'll go find some foods containing carbohydrates today."

"If we're lucky, I'll treat you to spicy hot pot tomorrow..."

The two began to eat, which served as both breakfast and lunch.

Today's goal is clear: to quickly find some foods rich in carbohydrates.

After all, if you don't replenish your body's carbohydrates for a long time, your body will definitely have problems.

After a simple breakfast and lunch, the two grabbed their gear and continued their journey.

We explored the jungle for over an hour, and there were some discoveries along the way.

We found quite a few wild vegetables, as well as some edible wild mushrooms.

We can use all these ingredients to make fish soup tonight; it will definitely taste even better!

At that moment, Chen Fan made a new discovery.

Because a very familiar plant appeared before my eyes.

The stems are very long, with the longest one being about 2.5 meters long, and the leaves look very much like those of a money tree!

Before Chen Fan could speak, Liu Feifei pointed to the plant in front of them and said, "Chen Fan, this tree looks familiar! Is it a wild money tree?"

Because her family had previously grown a money tree, Liu Feifei felt it looked very similar, especially the leaves.

"No, this isn't a money tree..."

"This is cassava, which is rich in starch!"

Chen Fan shook his head excitedly and said.

This is my goal for today: carbohydrate-rich plants.

Cassava has a very high starch content and is known as the king of starches.

During times of famine, cassava saved countless lives and was a major source of food in that era.

Even now, in some underdeveloped countries and primitive tribes in Africa, cassava is still their staple food.
