The pickled chili peppers are sour and spicy, appetizing and refreshing, and are great for both cooking and eating with rice.
In the live stream room.
"Haha, this looks so familiar. My mom pickles this every year."
"We call it 'zaolazi' here."
"Hehe, I've finally found something in common with the master. I can do it too."
"If the expert can do it, so can I. I = expert."
After pickling the chilies, Lu Fan couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad, it'll be another dish later."
After pickling the chili peppers, Lu Fan went back to bed to sleep.
"I'm not going to weave baskets tonight, my butt hurts too much."
The next day, Lu Fan got up very early and brewed another pot of fern leaves to drink.
This morning he made a light breakfast – honey coconut taro balls.
Lu Fan steamed the taro until cooked, then shaped it into small balls, and quickly placed them in cold water to mold them.
Then, simmer coconut milk and honey to make a soup, and add taro balls when the soup boils.
"Mmm, it's really good." Lu Fan commented after taking a sip.
Although we can't make taro balls chewy and bouncy right now, the soft and chewy texture is still great, and they're sweet.
Live broadcast room.
Wow, homemade milk tea?
"Guys who can make milk tea are simply irresistible!"
"I'll also order a taro ball bubble tea."
"I'm already drinking, cheers, Lu Fan!"
After finishing breakfast, Lu Fan set off to find materials.
Today, his goal is to try to make paper and change the way people wipe their bottoms with leaves and bamboo strips.
"This thicket looks promising; I might find something here," Lu Fan thought to himself as he walked into the thicket.
Sunlight filters through the leaves in the bushes, casting dappled shadows, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of earth and plants.
[Discover Blueberries]
"Blueberries! These are great, they'll give me plenty of vitamins." Lu Fan excitedly picked some blueberries and put them in his basket.
[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.
[Blueberries 40*]
Live broadcast room.
"Haha, finally triggered the blueberry event, over ten pounds of them!"
"I remember laughing at that Andrei back then."
"Hahaha, Lu Fan has finally achieved what Andrei accomplished in a few days with ease."
Lu Fan ate a handful of blueberries and found them sweet and sour.
Then Lu Fan began searching for materials for papermaking.
With the help of the Heavenly Dao's prompts, it wasn't too difficult.
[Discovery of the high-fiber plant "paper mulberry"]
Lu Fan went up and touched it; to be honest, he didn't recognize this thing at all.
The bark fibers of the paper mulberry tree are soft and ideal for making paper.
Lu Fan carefully peeled off the bark of the paper mulberry tree with a dagger and then put the bark into his basket.
"What is Lu Fan doing? Why is he collecting tree bark?!"
"They're not going to make paper, are they? That would be amazing!"
Wang Tao asked curiously, "What is Lu Fan doing? It looks complicated."
Zhao Hangjun explained, "The bark of the paper mulberry tree has a soft texture, making it a good material for papermaking."
"So it really is about making paper. Lu Fan is amazing."
After collecting enough paper mulberry bark, Lu Fan returned to the shelter.
He soaked the paper mulberry bark in water for several hours, and the bark became much softer.
Lu Fan scooped out the bark, placed it on a flat stone, and gently tapped it with a wooden mallet to break up the fibers.
He tapped and checked to make sure the fibers were completely separated.
There's a technique to this tapping; too light and the fibers won't separate completely, too heavy and they'll break apart.
Viewers in the live stream flooded the chat with comments like, "Lu Fan's skills are amazing; he can even make his own paper."
"This paper mulberry bark looks very useful; I'd like to try it too."
Wang Tao: "Lu Fan truly deserves the title of 'master,' as he has mastered so many practical skills."
Yu Rui couldn't help but lean closer to the screen: "Lu Fan is really amazing. He can do everything. He must be the most powerful of all the survivors."
After breaking down the fibers, Lu Fan put them into a large basin, added an appropriate amount of water, and stirred them evenly with a wooden stick to form pulp.
Then, he found a sieve woven from thin bamboo strips, poured the pulp evenly onto the sieve, and gently shook the sieve to spread the pulp evenly.
"I hope it works, otherwise this cheat code will be a waste." Lu Fan thought to himself as he continued working.
After the pulp was laid out, Lu Fan placed the sieve in the sun to dry.
He checked the paper's dryness from time to time to ensure it dried evenly.
After several hours of drying, the paper gradually dries, and the fibers bind together tightly, forming a soft yet tough light yellow sheet.
Lu Fan picked up a sheet; it was translucent and soft to the touch.
"Haha, it worked!" Lu Fan couldn't help but burst into laughter. From then on, the days of wiping his butt with leaves were gone forever.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan was overjoyed.
"Lu Fan is amazing! He actually made paper!"
"This paper looks so soft, I want to try it too."
"Lu Fan's hands-on skills are amazing. He can even make his own paper. He's truly multi-talented."
"This person was the first in the wilderness to make paper, right? Who else has done it?"
"Not only that, but in other aspects, we have long surpassed other contestants by a large margin."
After the first experiment was successful, Lu Fan continued to do it until all the materials were used up.
Every inch of the shelter was covered with paper drying in the sun.
After finishing these tasks, Lu Fan began preparing dinner.
He decided to treat himself to a blueberry pork chop.
He took out a tender pork chop from the stored ingredients. The pork chop had clear marbling and glistened enticingly in the sunlight.
Next, take the salt and sprinkle it evenly on both sides of the pork chop, making sure to cover every corner, so that the pork chop can exude its unique charm under the coating of seasoning.
Then, Lu Fan lit the stove, placed a stone slab over the fire, and added a lump of lard.
As the oil temperature rose, the bottom of the pot began to smoke slightly, and he gently placed the pork chops into the pot.
Instantly, a sizzling sound rang out as the pork chops bounced merrily in the pot, the sound like a symphony of delicious food.
The pork chop quickly turned golden brown, and its aroma filled the air.
While the pork chops were frying, Lu Fan carefully selected some of the blueberries he had picked earlier and put them in a bowl.
Then gently crush the blueberries with a spoon to extract the juice, add a little honey, stir well, and a unique blueberry sauce is ready.
