"You've done a great job today and deserve a reward. Keep up the good work and be good sentries in the future."
Whether the two monkeys understood or not, they just made whimpering noises and licked the syrup.
They look like they're enjoying their meal very much...
Afterwards, Ye Feng poured all the syrup from the pot into the freshly made wooden jar and handed the pot to Liu Sisi.
"Now it's your turn. As long as you control the heat, it's very simple, no problem, right?"
Don't worry.
Liu Sisi readily agreed.
But grapes are too precious to be wasted.
He watched Liu Sisi operate the machine for a while, and after finding that there were no problems, he finally felt relieved.
It was almost noon.
In order to start the treehouse construction work as soon as possible.
Ye Feng, along with Qi Xiaojie, dug a small pit about 50 centimeters deep next to the treehouse.
Then, they picked up some stones together by the spring.
After washing them clean, arrange them neatly in the pit. Then light a large fire on top of them.
There's no way around it; the smoking time for meat is just too long.
Ye Feng's task for everyone was to complete the overall construction of the treehouse platform before sunset today.
It was already noon, and time was running out.
His hand was injured, and his mobility was limited, so he needed Qi Xiaojie's help.
But there was so much monkey meat, and Liu Sisi had to stay by the pot to make the syrup, so she didn't have time to smoke it.
Monkey meat may not be considered a delicacy, but it was obtained in exchange for so many grapes.
Ye Feng never liked wasting food, but if it was going to be smoked slowly, Qi Xiaojie couldn't help him.
Therefore, he decided to make a large natural oven, following the recipe for beggar's chicken.
This also prevents the meat from getting blackened and ending up with a mouthful of charcoal when you eat it.
Before long, the flames gradually died down, leaving only some black ash and charcoal.
Seeing this, Ye Feng asked Qi Xiaojie to bring over a few palm leaves…
All the pre-cut monkey meat was placed inside, tied with vines, and then thrown in.
Finally, cover it with soil, light a bonfire on top, and you're done.
He had never made beggar's chicken before; he learned the method from Uncle De.
The continuous burning of the fire creates a natural oven in the space below.
This effectively prevents the meat from directly contacting the smoke, thus avoiding the color of cured meat.
Moreover, there's no need for someone to watch over it; as long as the fire doesn't go out, it will automatically cook.
After finishing, Ye Feng returned to the treehouse and moved Fu Changxiong, Qi Xiaoyan, the stove, and everything else down.
After that, he and Qi Xiaojie began to dismantle the roof and platform.
Two days ago, he thought his treehouse plan was going to fail because he couldn't find any companions.
They had no choice but to eke out a living in this makeshift shelter.
But things are different now. The space needed for five people to live in will be very large, so it has to be rebuilt.
Ye Feng knew very well that he was not only alive because of the knowledge he had acquired.
Most importantly, it is the cautious attitude of being prepared for danger even in times of peace.
Along the way, although not many challengers have actively tried to kill him, judging from the various actions of the show's producers.
That must be a predatory capitalist who would do anything for ratings.
Who knows what other tricks he might use to harm me in the future?
Therefore, in order to be responsible for the lives of themselves and their companions.
He wanted to build a treehouse fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and absolutely safe.
To be precise, even if the challengers knew the location of their camp.
It also prevents it from harming itself.
Destruction is much faster than construction, and the two quickly tore the roof off.
Even the platform was mostly dismantled, leaving only a place to stand.
Ye Feng began to carefully examine the distribution of branches around him.
Qi Xiaojie was not lying; he had completed the task Ye Feng assigned him yesterday very well.
Each branch was constructed according to the carved lines.
Most of them were done very well…
Viewed from above, the white dots exposed by the dozen or so sawed branches somehow formed the Chinese character "米" (mǐ)...
At the center of this "rice" character intersection, Ye Feng deliberately left a branch as thick as a thigh.
He plans to use this tree branch as the main beam and primary medium for the roof, thereby extending the main framework of the treehouse in all directions.
The general idea is to first piece together the character "米" (rice) entirely using wood.
Then, along the edge of the character, tie logs one by one.
The character "米" is enclosed within it, forming the main framework.
Then, based on this framework, tie on the corresponding floor frame.
The finishing touches involve laying round logs along the framework to serve as the floor and a place for sleeping and other activities.
As for the roof, Ye Feng had already thought it through.
The roof can be extended outwards from the large branch in the center, and the height and angle can be freely chosen for construction.
He had detailed construction drawings in his mind, and he estimated the treehouse that would be completed.
It's probably shaped like a yurt or an octagonal cage.
After thinking it over, he began construction...
However, the first step is not to build the framework.
Whether building a treehouse or a house, the terrain is very important.
Ye Feng grew up in the countryside and moved to the city after entering high school.
He saw many of his neighbors building houses when he was a child.
The first step is to use a measuring instrument to measure the location of the foundation to see if it is straight and flat.
If the foundation is laid crookedly, the house built will also be crooked, which will pose a significant safety problem.
Ye Feng didn't want to spend the remaining 70 days in the crooked treehouse.
So, he and Qi Xiaojie took a measuring tape and began to measure whether the tree stumps were all the same height.
Yesterday, he only marked the approximate location by sight before letting Qi Xiaojie start sawing, with the aim of making today easier.
Sure enough, the measuring tape showed a noticeable curve, which meant it needed to be sawed to the same height.
So Ye Feng had Qi Xiaojie hold the measuring tape still, using his position as the primary height, and began measuring other positions.
The old method: after measuring with a tape measure, measure again with a straight log.
After determining the different heights, draw a line on the tallest branch with a knife. Then saw it off.
He continued measuring back and forth on various tree branches, holding a measuring tape and a stick…
Qi Xiaojie was completely stunned by this.
Although he knew nothing about construction, he felt even more admiration for Ye Feng after seeing his serious and professional work.
"Little stutterer, it's your turn to do the work."
Just then, Ye Feng's urging voice rang out.
"Oh, here it comes..."
Qi Xiaojie carefully moved among the tree branches...
It's more than 6 meters above the ground here; if someone were to fall, it would likely be a serious accident…
