Lu Fan led Dahei and Dajiao back to the shelter, humming a cheerful tune. Dajiao went back to its shed.
Since Dahei didn't have a place to live yet, Lu Fan built a nest for it using bamboo and lined it with some dry leaves.
After all, canines like to sleep in nests.
When Lu Fan indicated that this was Dahei's den, Dahei looked on incredulously.
It hopped and skipped around Lu Fan, then burrowed into its nest, leaving only its head sticking out.
Live broadcast room.
"Haha, Big Black looks very happy."
"We have a saying here: 'Dogs love cramped places, and cats love warm places.'"
"I seriously suspect that Dahei is a husky, it's so silly."
I slept well all night.
The next morning, the sunlight playfully danced on Lu Fan's face, waking this wilderness survival expert.
Stretching, Lu Fan began to think about his food-hunting plan for the day.
Remembering the taro patch he had discovered before, he decided to go and dig up some more.
"Big Black, Big Horn, let's go dig up some good food today!" At Lu Fan's command, the two companions instantly perked up and followed him on the journey.
Along the way, Big Black acted like a scout, hopping and leaping around ahead, occasionally sniffing the roadside grass and startling swarms of small flying insects.
Big Horn slowly swayed its head, occasionally nibbling on the tender tips of the grass, as if it were taking a leisurely stroll in the countryside.
When Lu Fan arrived at the taro field, he was dumbfounded.
Unbeknownst to them, Lu Fan had already dug up almost all the taro here.
The once lush taro field is now reduced to just a few plants. He dug into the soil with great anticipation, only to find that there were only two taro plants left.

Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.
【Taro*】
"We still overlooked its growth rate." Lu Fan scratched his head helplessly. This was a difficult problem.
Live broadcast room.
"Oh, there are only two taro left?"
"I always thought that God Lu Fan would never lack food."
"What should we do then? Taro is an important source of carbohydrates."
But Lu Fan is not someone who will be easily defeated by this difficulty.
Looking at the two round taro roots in his hand, he quickly came up with an idea: "I've got it! Let's take them back and plant them, then we'll have an endless supply of taro!"
Without hesitation, he carefully tucked the taro into his pocket, as if he were carrying two priceless treasures.
Back at the shelter, Lu Fan began planning his large-scale planting business.
Of course, this matter cannot be rushed; first, we need to cultivate taro seeds.
He plans to build a simple breeding room.
Lu Fan found some bamboo and split it into thin strips.
Then he went back to his old trade—weaving baskets.
This time, however, the weave is tighter and thinner.
While weaving, Dahei would occasionally come over and sniff.
"Go away, don't bother me while I'm doing my work." He said, pushing away Big Black's face.
Live broadcast room.
"What is the great god Lu Fan doing?"
"Such a big basket, could it be Big Black's new nest?"
"I don't understand it, but I believe that Lu Fan will definitely be of great use to me."
After more than two hours, Lu Fan finally wove a huge basket, as big as a bathtub.
"Done, I'm exhausted." Lu Fan looked at the big basket with satisfaction.
To be precise, this is a miniature greenhouse.
Then Lu Fan found a piece of land and drew a rectangle on it.
Then he shoveled some of the ashes from the fire and piled them on the ground.
Then Lu Fan found some dry grass and spread it on the charcoal ash, forming a small warm bed.
Then he divided the two taro into different pieces and placed them on the warm bed.
Then they crushed the remaining dried chilies, removed their seeds, and buried them in the warm bed.
Sprinkle water on the hotbed to keep it moist, and then cover the "greenhouse" with it.
A miniature seed breeding incubator is now ready.
Looking at his masterpiece, Lu Fan nodded in satisfaction.
Now, we just need to wait for the seeds to sprout.
In the live stream, the barrage of comments kept scrolling, and the viewers had a heated discussion about Lu Fan's miniature seed cultivation incubator.
"This is amazing! Master Lu Fan always manages to turn the seemingly impossible into reality."
"He managed to plan a future 'grain field' from just these two taro roots." Wang Tao didn't hold back his praise, his words full of admiration.
Zhao Hangjun then launched into a science popularization session: "Did you all know that Lu Fan's design for this hotbed is very scientific?"
Charcoal ash can provide some insulation and insect repellent, while dry grass spread on top can keep the soil loose and breathable, creating a good environment for seed germination.
The "greenhouse" he built effectively maintains the internal humidity and temperature, essentially creating a mini greenhouse for the seeds, greatly improving their germination rate.
"I see. No wonder the expert always succeeds; there's a scientific basis behind it all," a viewer exclaimed in sudden realization.
"I thought it was just something to do casually, but I didn't expect it to be so particular. I've learned something new."
“I knew that the master craftsman’s big basket would be very useful; it would be perfect as a ‘greenhouse’.”
"Haha, that means that from now on, God Lu Fan can be self-sufficient."
"I remember when I was in school, I would sprinkle water on the wood shavings under my pencil sharpener, put watermelon seeds in, and wait for them to sprout."
"Indeed, farming and infrastructure construction are pursuits ingrained in the Chinese people."
"Looking forward to the day when the great god Lu Fan grows food."
At this moment, Wang Tao couldn't help but comment: "Lu Fan's indomitable and self-sufficient approach is a reflection of the development of our country."
Just as Lu Fan is planting the seeds of future success today, sooner or later, our nation will also overcome its resource constraints and achieve sustainable development.
Meanwhile, Big Black and Big Horn curiously circled around the warm bed.
Big Black would sniff the "greenhouse" from time to time, as if trying to figure out what treasures were hidden inside.
Big Horn gently pawed at the soil beside him with its hooves, as if contributing to this land that was nurturing hope in its own way.
The seeds are currently being cultivated, but this allows us to prepare for planting in advance.
Lu Fan also decided to do something else: prepare fertilizer.
He recalled the method of making fertilizer that he had seen in his village in his previous life—composting.
He first found a relatively secluded and well-drained corner near the shelter to use as a composting site.
Then prepare to collect some leaves.
