Chapter 20: As long as you have hands, there is nothing that Brother Wei can't do
In addition to water containers made with modern technology, you can actually find many containers that can hold water in the wild.
As long as you use your brain a little, you will find ready-made containers everywhere.
But after seeing Wei Wei's bamboo tube, everyone only wanted to find bamboo. However, bamboo forests are not everywhere. The jungle landscape is also very complex, with tens of millions of species of vegetation. A certain plant may only grow in a certain place.
"Tree?" The big monkey was puzzled. "How do you use a tree trunk?"
Zhou Youlan had an idea.
"Right!" Zhang Longtong was reminded by him. "Why don't you cut a relatively thick branch, hollow it out in the middle, and polish it to use as a kettle?"
In the wild, as long as it works, there is no way to strive for perfection.
What Wei Wei said is indeed a feasible method at present, but the process is a bit complicated and troublesome.
"Yes, yes, this is a good idea. I'll tell everyone about it."
Then the entire live broadcast room of the program team turned into guests digging tree hearts.
If you don't have a knife, find a stone with a sharp edge and chisel it in the middle to make a hole in the center of the tree.
Zhou Youguan had a machete, so he helped everyone cut out the tree trunks. The longest one was about the length of their forearm, which was quite convenient.
The girls didn't have knives and had little strength, so they could only chisel with sharp stones, but after half a day there was no effective progress.
"Let me help you, you girls don't have enough strength."
Wang Chunqin took the wood from Lin Yue's hand. He picked up a very sharp stone, but after digging and chiseling it several times, he couldn't make an obvious hole.
In fact, he hadn't finished his own work yet. He just wanted to wait for Zhou Youxuan to separate the wood and then borrow a knife from Zhou Youxuan to do it.
But when I saw how hard several female artists were struggling, I wanted to come over and express my gratitude. I can improve my favorability in front of the camera and in front of the female artists.
Several girls were staring at his movements, and Wang Chunqin worked even harder. Unfortunately, using stone to chisel wood was not ideal. It would take at least a day or two to polish out a truly usable piece, not to mention that he had no such experience before.
Wang Chunqin worked so hard that he was sweating profusely, but he only managed to carve out a small indentation.
He wiped the sweat off his face, his smile obviously forced. "Haha, it's okay. We've just started. I'm sure we can figure it out."
Seeing how hard he was trying, his hands were almost rubbed with bubbles, Lin Yue embarrassedly asked for the wood back, "Let me do it myself, you haven't made yours yet, so I'll do yours first."
Wang Chunqin wanted to hold on a little longer, but accidentally touched the two big blisters on the palm of his hand, which hurt so much.
A few people forced out an awkward smile and silently took back their wood. "Let's do it ourselves. Thank you, Brother Qin."
These are things I use myself, and I am self-sufficient. No matter how capable others are, I would feel embarrassed to trouble them. Besides, Wang Chunqin doesn't seem to be very capable either.
"Then I'll go see if Brother Zhou has sorted everything out. I'll borrow his knife. It'll be much simpler with a knife."
When Ruan Mengmeng heard Wang Chunqin mention using a knife, she suddenly remembered something.
She turned around and saw Wei Wei leaning against a tree with his arms folded to rest, but his eyes were fixed on Zhou Youguan over there, and no one knew what he was thinking.
She stood up and walked over, "Brother Wei."
Wei Wei raised his eyes, and Ruan Mengmeng smiled sweetly: "Brother Wei, I remember you have a knife, right? Can you lend it to me for a while?"
Wei Wei did not hesitate, pulled out the dagger from the bag on his leg and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Brother Wei!"
Ruan Mengmeng just sat next to him. With the knife, things went much more smoothly. However, her hands were weak, so even with the knife she could only dig a little bit at a time, and she accidentally hurt her hand.
"Hiss--" Ruan Mengmeng dropped the knife and wood in her hand in pain and covered her bleeding fingers.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yue hurried over and saw that her hand was bleeding. He quickly took out the first aid kit and wrapped the remaining gauze around her hand.
"Luckily, no bones were broken, just a scratch on the skin."
Lin Yue said: "Forget it, don't do it, I'll help you."
"Sister Lin Yue, you haven't even done your own thing yet, it's okay, I can do it myself."
Ruan Mengmeng picked it up again, but because her finger was injured, she didn't dare to use too much force, and it took her more effort than before.
Just when she was so sad that she wanted to cry, a slender white hand reached out.
Wei Wei didn't say anything, but just nodded at her, indicating that she should hand over the wood.
Ruan Mengmeng was actually a little embarrassed to trouble him, but her fingers were really painful and she couldn't use much strength.
Wei Wei picked up the dagger on the ground, took the piece of wood in Ruan Mengmeng's hand, left half a finger's width at the edge, and inserted the tip of the dagger into the heart of the tree. He turned the tip of the dagger around to separate the heart of the tree, and then made another incision in the middle. He cut off the heart of the tree piece by piece and took out the prototype of a kettle.
Ruan Mengmeng couldn't help but widen her eyes. How did Wei Wei manage to cut such a hard tree trunk?
After borrowing a knife from Zhou Youlan, Wang Chunqin still wanted to regain his lost face in front of the female artists. When he turned around, he saw several girls surrounding Wei Wei.
Wei Wei cut several openings in the heart of the tree with a dagger, just like peeling the skin and taking out the flesh. He took out one piece at a time and then another, and continued to cut away the tree piece by piece.
"Wow, Brother Wei, how did you do it so easily? You're amazing."
"Tsk, anyone can use a knife," said Wang Chunqin.
"I just used a knife but it didn't work and I even cut my hand."
"That's because you girls don't have enough strength." Wang Chunqin looked at Wei Wei's expressionless and focused movements, as if he wanted to show off. He snorted inwardly, "I just used a stone so I couldn't open it. If you have a knife, anyone can do it."
Ruan Mengmeng curled her lips slightly: "Then why don't you try it?"
Wang Chunqin sat down next to Wei Wei and said, "Let's give it a try."
I can lose in front of anyone, but I can't lose in front of a girl, let alone lose to Wei Wei.
Although Zhou Youlan's machete is much wider than a dagger, its biggest advantages are its sharp tip and long blade. If Wang Chunqin could have the same strength as Wei Wei to cut deeply with one blow, it would be much easier.
But he wanted to imitate Wei Wei and stab him to the bottom with one blow, but he failed every time after trying several times.
Wei Wei was almost finished. There were still some sharp wood chips at the bottom that were difficult to clean. He took out a sharp blade from his bag and rubbed it along the bottom. After grinding out a pile of wood chips, the bottom became smooth.
Ruan Mengmeng thought that was the end of it, but she didn't expect Wei Wei to help her peel off another layer of the outer bark. His knife was steady and sharp, and he could cut directly from top to bottom without breaking the bark, so the cut surface was very smooth and didn't need to be re-polished.
Wei Wei was even thoughtful enough to drill a small hole on each side for easy carrying and hanging. The lid also used a mortise and tenon structure, with the concave and convex parts interlocking with each other. Once the lid was closed tightly, water would not leak out even if it was filled in.
Before Wang Chunqin even hollowed out the concave core of the tree, Wei Wei had already done it.
Wei Wei handed the kettle to Ruan Mengmeng. Ruan Mengmeng's eyes lit up with admiration and gratitude. "Wow, thank you, Brother Wei. This is a pure handmade kettle. It's amazing. There really is nothing that Brother Wei can't do."
"It really worked." Lin Yue looked at it and took reference. "I didn't have high hopes, but it looks pretty good."
"A long sword is too difficult to use. It's not as flexible as a short sword." Wang Chunqin glanced at it a few times, unconvinced but unwilling to admit it. "If this were a short sword, I could do it too."
The big monkey snatched the knife from his hand and said, "You think the knife is too long? Then you can use a stone. It just so happens that I don't have any."
"Hey, you!"
Several girls tried to hold back their laughter, and Wang Chunqin's face turned pale and blue, looking very ugly.
Seeing that Li Rongsheng didn't make any move, Wei Wei reached out to her again.
Li Rongsheng was always quiet, so she shook her head repeatedly: "No, I, I don't need to bring it."
"How can we not bring it?" Ruan Mengmeng said, "Didn't Brother Zhou and Li Xiaohuan tell us this morning that fresh water will be harder to find once we enter the rainforest, so we must bring a water bottle."
Hearing that Wei Wei helped Ruan Mengmeng make a kettle, Zhao Jie also came over with her own wood.
"Xiao Wei, I heard you made a kettle for Meng Meng. I have tendonitis and my wrist really can't move. Could you please make one for me too?"
"You young people are quick and strong, so just consider it a favor for me. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
Before asking Wei Wei whether he was willing, Zhao Jie handed the piece of wood that had hardly been touched directly to Wei Wei.
Zhang Longtong stood aside with two grilled fish. The atmosphere was awkward but he didn't know what to say.
[Emmm, do others have to help you, aunt? Since you're asking for help, can you be a little nicer?]
[So awkward, what should I say if Wei Wei refuses? If I don’t refuse, it seems like I’ll feel really aggrieved.]
Wei Wei wouldn't dare refuse. This girl has always been so arrogant in the industry because of her seniority.
[Doesn’t Wei Wei love to show off? Then let him show off as much as he wants, hahahaha]
[Those who are capable should do more work. Isn’t Wei Wei very capable? If he wants to pretend, then pretend as much as he wants.]
Didn't Wei Wei help Ruan Mengmeng because he saw she was injured? How could he be trying to show off?
[Wow, now helping the injured is also considered showing off. Wei Wei is guilty, so you guys are scolding him like this.]
"Everyone, why don't you take a break first? The grilled fish is ready." Zhang Longtong came over with two skewers of grilled fish. He handed one to Wei Wei first and winked at him quickly, saying, "Brother Wei, this is the fish you caught. You eat it first. You decide who gets the rest. The decision is yours."
"You eat." Wei Wei said.
Wei Wei picked up the wood and started to carve it again.
Several artists who were standing nearby felt a little sympathetic towards Wei Wei. No matter which variety show Zhao Jie appeared on, she was always a figure that the younger generations were quite afraid of, mainly because she was stubborn and loved to give orders, and everyone had to listen to her.
But they only thought so in their hearts and did not dare to say more.
Wang Chunqin suddenly sighed, "Wei Wei is definitely capable. We can't compare. Why don't you help others cut it too? No one has as much skill or experience as you anyway."
Everyone else looked at him at once, obviously thinking he talked too much.
Wang Chunqin shrugged, "Isn't it?"
Wei Wei focused on the movements of his hands and said calmly, "It's rare to see someone whose words are better than his hands. You are the only one."
