Next, Lu Fan mixed the kelp with the chili oil he had prepared.
The kelp strips are coated in chili oil and garnished with minced ginger and chopped scallions; just looking at them makes your mouth water.
He then turned the prepared pheasant into poached chicken. The chicken was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, and paired with a special dipping sauce, the taste was absolutely amazing.
An Lan helped cut the washed apples into small pieces, and Lu Fan added some honey extracted from wild honey. A refreshing and delicious apple salad was then ready.
Lu Fan also chilled a few bunches of grapes with spring water; they were sweet and sour, and very delicious.
As night fell, a warm fire lit up the shelter.
Lu Fan and An Lan sat at the dining table, looking at the delicious food on the table, their hearts filled with happiness.
"Anlan, try my poached chicken and see how it tastes." Lu Fan picked up a piece of chicken and handed it to Anlan.
An Lan took the chicken, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Mmm, it's so delicious. The chicken is so tender, and the dipping sauce is just right."
Lu Fan laughed happily upon hearing this: "If you like it, eat more. I noticed you didn't have much of an appetite this morning, so I specially made you something sour and spicy."
An Lan was touched to see that Lu Fan had done all this because she had no appetite.
"Try this seaweed salad with chili oil too," Lu Fan said enthusiastically, serving An Lan some food.
An Lan picked up a piece of seaweed with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The sour and spicy taste stimulated her taste buds and greatly increased her appetite.
"Wow, this seaweed salad is so appetizing! How did you manage to create that sour taste?"
Lu smiled smugly and said, "That's the juice from a green apple. I made it on purpose."
"You didn't mold it with your hands, did you?" An Lan teased with a smile.
"How could that be? I pounded it with a stone."
The two chatted while enjoying their meal.
Live broadcast room.
"Lu Fan's cooking skills are absolutely amazing; you can almost smell the aroma through the screen."
"I'm so envious! This wilderness life is even more comfortable than when I'm at home."
"Those two really know how to enjoy life! This is true wilderness survival!"
After finishing their meal, the two of them lay down on the chairs to digest.
Have some chilled grapes while you're at it.
"Wow, sour and sweet, this flavor is amazing."
An Lan couldn't help but laugh at Lu Fan's exaggerated expression: "You should show off your jawline a bit more, then you'll be even more perfect."
"Never mind, I'm afraid of getting scolded."
An Lan lay comfortably on the chair, rubbing her slightly bulging belly as she digested her food. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.
Her eyes lit up as she looked at Lu Fan and said with great interest, "Lu Fan, I saw that you hit the bullseye every time you shot an arrow before. Could you teach me?"
Lu Fan was happily chewing the last chilled grape when he heard this and almost choked.
He quickly swallowed, then laughed and said, "Are you sure you want to learn? Archery isn't easy. You might regret it if your arms are so sore you can't lift them."
"Don't forget, I made a bow myself! It's just that I don't shoot as accurately as you."
An Lan stood up with a determined look on her face, rubbing her hands together as if she were already a master archer.
Lu Fan recalled that An Lan had indeed used a bow and arrow to fight against Mei Chuan Neiku.
Lu Fan couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he got up to prepare.
He found some branches and vines and quickly made several crooked scarecrows.
They looked like a few drunken old men, standing swaying and staggering in the open space.
“This is our target,” Lu Fan said to An Lan, pointing at the scarecrow.
"Don't underestimate them, they'll give you a headache later."
An Lan looked at the scarecrows and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "These? I can definitely hit them easily."
Lu Fan picked up his bow from the side, handed a few arrows to An Lan, and began to explain the basic movements.
"First, you need to nock the arrow, making sure the arrowhead is pointing forward. Then, hold the bow handle with your left hand and pull the string with your right hand. When you pull, be steady and feel the tension of the arrow on the string."
An Lan tried to imitate Lu Fan, nocking the arrow and drawing the bowstring, but the bowstring was made of snake tendon, and its hardness was far superior to hers.
Her face flushed red, and she used all her strength to finally pull the string back, but her hand slipped and the arrow flew out with a "whoosh".
It plunged straight into the nearby bushes, without even touching the scarecrow.
The live stream room immediately became lively.
"Haha, An Lan was ready to shoot, but she shot it in the wrong direction."
"This is what you call a bad start, but it's okay, Anlan, keep going, we believe in you!"
"Archery seems so difficult, I can't hit anything at all."
"Look at me upstairs, I can hit the bullseye every time."
“This bow isn’t suitable for you, let’s get another one.” With that, Lu Fan handed An Lan his own bow and arrows to her.
An Lan blushed as she accepted the bow and arrow.
Sure enough, this time he successfully drew the bow and arrow, but his aim was off; the arrow seemed to have been poisoned.
Arrows flew everywhere.
Big Black immediately darted out, retrieved the arrow, and placed it in front of Lu Fan.
Lu Fan suppressed a laugh as he took the arrow.
Then he went over and helped An Lan adjust her posture: "Don't use too much force, use your strength skillfully, like this..."
He held Anlan's hand and taught her the correct way to exert force, little by little.
Under Lu Fan's guidance, An Lan made rapid progress. Although she still couldn't hit the target, at least she was heading towards it.
"Not bad, not bad, you've improved," Lu Fan encouraged. "Keep it up, just practice a few more times and you'll be fine."
Encouraged, An Lan's confidence soared, and he fired several arrows in quick succession.
Some arrows grazed the edge of the scarecrow, some stuck directly into the ground, and one even got stuck on the scarecrow's "shoulder," which looked quite comical.
The viewers in the live stream were laughing so hard they were doubled over.
"This scarecrow is probably thinking, 'What did I do to deserve this? I'm being attacked for no reason.'"
"Is Anlan giving the scarecrow acupuncture? He's quite accurate, hitting all the 'acupoints'."
"Archery is much harder than I imagined. Anlan is already very good at hitting the target close to the target."
Looking at her "achievements," An Lan couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that archery is not an easy thing. I thought it would be as simple as playing darts."
Lu Fan smiled and said, "Archery and darts are different. Darts mainly rely on the strength of the wrist, while archery requires the coordination of the whole body, especially the strength of the back and arms."
Moreover, archery requires a calm and composed mind; if you're too hasty, the arrow won't obey your commands.
An Lan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She nocked the arrow and drew the string again; this time, her movements were noticeably more composed.
She aimed at the scarecrow, slowly released her finger, and the arrow flew out with a "whoosh," shooting straight at the scarecrow.
"Hit! Hit!" An Lan jumped up excitedly as the arrow was firmly embedded in the scarecrow's chest.
"You passed! Congratulations, Mr. An, you've passed the exam!"
Lu Fan, standing next to her, was gesturing wildly, his expression even more exaggerated than An Lan's.
