[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.
【Healthy ewes*】
As the ewe gradually recovered in the shelter, Lu Fan decided to build a comfortable little nest just for the new member.
"Little lamb, from now on, you'll be my dedicated milk producer. 'Baa' is your name, and 9527 is your number. Work hard, and a promotion and a raise won't be a dream..."
Lu Fan muttered to the ewe as he picked up his tools, ready to get to work.
Live broadcast room.
“I told you, this sheep would become a new member of the shelter.”
"Does that mean we can drink goat milk in the future?"
"This ewe didn't have any lambs at first, so where did the milk come from? Are we going to catch a ram instead?"
Lu Fan walked into the familiar bamboo forest again and selected bamboo with tough texture.
"This time we have to pick out some good materials to build a five-star little shed for Meimei."
Lu Fan muttered to himself, wielding his long sword with great force, and soon he had cut down enough bamboo.
Big Black and Big Horn followed. Big Black jumped up and down in the bamboo forest, occasionally bumping into the bamboo and making it shake, causing the bamboo leaves to fall down.
"Big Blackie, stop making trouble! If you keep making a fuss, you won't get any goat milk tonight."
Big Black seemed to understand, and obediently squatted to the side, wagging its tail and looking at Lu Fan.
Back at the shelter, Lu Fan began setting up the shed.
He skillfully split the bamboo into suitable lengths and widths, and then tied them together firmly with vines.
Big Horn curiously came over and gently nudged the half-built shed with its head. Lu Fan smiled and patted it: "Big Horn, don't worry, you can come and enjoy the cool air once it's finished."
After much effort, a spacious and sturdy sheep pen was finally built.
The shed is well-ventilated and has a small window so that the ewes can see the outside world at any time.
"Meow, come and see your new home."
Lu Fan led the ewe into the shed. The ewe excitedly circled around inside a few times, occasionally rubbing her head against Lu Fan's leg and making cheerful "baa" sounds.
Seeing the ewe enjoying herself in her new home, Lu Fan thought it was time to try milking her.
He found a clean bamboo tube and carefully squatted down next to the ewe.
The ewe was initially a little uneasy and shifted her body restlessly.
"Baa, don't be afraid, just squeeze gently." Lu Fan soothed her softly, while gently holding the ewe's teat and trying to squeeze out the first drop of milk.
It didn't go smoothly at first; the ewe was so nervous that her muscles were tense and she couldn't produce any milk.
Big Black was watching anxiously from the side, pacing back and forth outside the sheep pen, making "woof woof" sounds as if to cheer Lu Fan on.
"Big Black, be quiet, you've scared Meimei," Lu Fan said helplessly.
After many attempts, finally, a drop of pure white goat milk was dripped into the bamboo tube.
"We did it!" Lu Fan shouted excitedly.
Upon hearing the call, Dahei jumped up excitedly, almost knocking over the bamboo tube.
With Lu Fan's patient reassurance and gentle handling, the goat milk gradually increased, and soon half a tub was collected.
Live broadcast room.
"Did they really squeeze out a sheep? But there are no lambs. Could they have gotten lost?"
"Perhaps humans and sheep are different."
"No matter what, God Lu Fan will have goat milk to drink."
Wang Tao looked at Zhao Hangjun: "Teacher Zhao, could you explain this phenomenon to us?"
Zhao Hangjun smiled and nodded: "Of course, it's my job."
Under normal circumstances, ewes produce milk because after giving birth, their mammary glands begin to secrete milk to nourish their lambs, stimulated by hormones such as prolactin.
However, if the ewe is stimulated by external factors during lactation, such as appropriate massage or milking, her body will mistakenly believe that the lamb still needs milk, and the mammary glands will continue to work to produce milk.
In addition, certain nutritional supplements or changes in environmental factors may also affect the endocrine system of ewes, prompting them to produce milk.
However, milk production during this unnatural breastfeeding period may be less than during normal breastfeeding.
Wang Tao couldn't help but applaud: "Teacher Zhao is indeed very knowledgeable."
"Haha, it's just that I'm getting old and don't know how to use a mobile phone, so I read more books."
Yu Rui is no longer seen in the live stream; she has been moved to the late-night slot because she often stays up late.
Seeing the fresh goat milk, Lu Fan decided to take on the challenge of making goat cheese.
He recalled seeing the preparation method on the documentary series "A Bite of China".
Although he lacked precise tools and materials, he decided to try it based on his memory and his own creativity.
He first poured the goat milk into an iron pot and placed it next to the campfire to heat it slowly.
"The temperature can't be too high, or the goat milk will spoil." Lu Fan muttered to himself while staring at the goat milk.
Big Black lay beside it, its eyes fixed on the container, its nose constantly sniffing, and occasionally licking its lips.
"Big Black, don't worry, you'll definitely get a share once it's done."
After heating it to the appropriate temperature, Lu Fan selected a wrinkled-leaf sorrel from the plants he had collected earlier.
This is a wild grass that has a curdling effect.
"Hopefully this will work." He crushed the wild grass, squeezed out the juice, and dripped it into the goat's milk.
A magical thing happened: the goat milk began to slowly coagulate, forming soft curds.
Next, Lu Fan wrapped the curd in a clean bamboo mat and squeezed it to extract the excess whey.
The curd gradually took shape in his hands. He placed the formed cheese in a special bamboo mold and pressed a stone on top to make the cheese firmer.
While waiting for the cheese to set, Dahei would occasionally come over and sniff the mold with his nose, his face full of anticipation.
"Don't rush, we still have to wait a while." Lu Fan smiled and patted Dahei's head.
Da Jiao also came over, looking curiously at the mold in Lu Fan's hand.
After a long wait, the goat cheese was finally made.
Lu Fan took the cheese out of the mold and cut it into small pieces.
Then spread honey, coconut, blueberry jam, and applesauce on the cheese to create four flavors.
He picked up a piece and handed it to Big Black, who eagerly swallowed it in one gulp, then kept wagging its tail, wanting more.
"Here you go, here you go." Lu Fan smiled and gave Da Hei a few more pieces.
He fed Big Horn another piece, and Big Horn chewed it, seemingly quite satisfied with the taste, and gave a soft "moo".
Finally, Lu Fan took a bite himself. The goat cheese had a unique milky aroma, a delicate texture, and various sweet flavors, which made him feel happy.
Although it cannot compare to modern processing techniques, it is undoubtedly a rare delicacy in this wilderness.
"Now our meals will be even more plentiful!" Lu Fan said happily.
The ewe bleated beside her, seemingly proud of being able to contribute a delicious meal.
