Bi Fang took a bite of the meat. The tenderloin was close to the backbone and stretched frequently without any fascia, so it became very tender. It tasted explosive after one bite.
The faint smoke lingered in front of the lips and teeth, dispelling the slight chill of the prairie at night.
The fresh water in the wooden bowl on the side has also become warm. I picked it up and took a sip. My whole body was soothed, as if a breath of fresh air penetrated from the Tianling Gai to the tail bone.
The cheetah Harley next to him meowed, but unfortunately Bifang did not share the meat with him.
This guy just ate raw food at noon. Now he is completely greedy, so don't pay attention to it.
After eating all the meat skewers on the whole branch, Bi Fang's abdomen was a little bulging. It was rare to eat good food. If he accidentally got too greedy, his entire stomach worked faster, turning the meat into energy, which continuously poured into his limbs.
skeleton.
It was obviously a bit cold when the night just fell, but now I feel hot and have a tendency to sweat.
[Eating meat and drinking water (funny)]
【Envy, outdoor barbecue】
[This is the real boss, if you go to the wild and don’t get eaten, it’s already a victory]
The sky was dotted with stars. Bi Fang, who had a wild barbecue under the envy of the audience, came to two dry deer skins and used a small wood chip to repeatedly scrape the skins to ensure that no fat or subcutaneous tissue involved remained.
This can improve the quality of the entire leather to achieve a softer touch in the end.
After doing all this, Bi Fang added some firewood and adjusted the position of the skins to ensure that they would not burn. Then he took out the wooden bowl and poured in water and fat to prepare some fat.
Animals are full of treasures, and the two wildebeests greatly enriched Bifang's material resources, whether it was food or tools.
Put the wooden bowl on the fire for barbecue, then pull out the excess meat tissue, tie it with tree rope, and hang it above the campfire for smoking.
The daytime temperature in the African savannah is about 20 degrees. If the food is not treated at this temperature, it will be easy to spoil and it will not be edible. Especially there are many kinds of mosquitoes on the grassland, and you may be bitten by it.
Unknown viruses and parasite eggs enter the meat.
"Mosquitoes in Africa are famous, so we should try to avoid staying by the river or in the forest. If you are traveling, you can use pesticides appropriately, but one thing to note is that using pesticides will damage
To protect the ecological environment and enhance mosquito resistance, it is best to use as little as possible."
"In addition, try to wear light-colored long-sleeved clothes to avoid skin leakage. When camping, use mosquito nets and mosquito coils. Mosquito nets soaked in insecticide are most effective."
"If you are not a tourist, but a traveler in distress, I actually demonstrated the corresponding method a long time ago, which is to apply red mud. You can dig the soil to find them, simply dry them, sterilize them, and apply them directly on your body. If you want to
For a better effect, just add aromatics or some specific plants to the red mud, such as this one."
Bi Fang took out a branch from his backpack, which was covered with leaves. It was obviously left on purpose.
When I took it out, Jerry the Gambian rat was still hanging on the branch. Apparently he was pulling at the leaves of the tree for some reason.
【what is this】
[Another plant I don’t recognize]
[Fang Shen always picks some strange things in his backpack, maybe they are spices or herbs. I am used to them. 】
It doesn't mean that once you pick it up, you will have the opportunity to explain it.
Many times, perhaps while explaining a certain knowledge point or completing a certain task, Bifang encountered some useful plants.
Out of the quality of a professional, I subconsciously took it off and put it in my pocket. It wasn't until I was about to use it that I thought of explaining it to the audience, just like now.
Bi Fang found this plant not far from where he discovered the wildebeest group. After collecting the trophies, in order to leave as quickly as possible, he picked it and left without having time to explain it to the audience.
"What I have on my hand is a branch of a tree called 'Anti-Mosquito Tree'. Its leaves contain a substance called 'citronellal', which is a natural organic substance that repels mosquitoes."
"Under the influence of high temperature, 'citronellal' will volatilize through the leaves and spread into the air, thus achieving the effect of repelling mosquitoes."
"Many Africans will build houses under this kind of tree to avoid mosquitoes. I guess the group of wildebeest thought so too, and that's why they gathered near that tree."
Plants that can repel mosquitoes often not only repel mosquitoes, but also some flies, lice, or other small bugs.
Especially in places like rivers, many animals will subconsciously go to places with fewer mosquitoes.
"If you can't find the red mud and can't distinguish the plants, there is one last simple way, which is to look for the feces of herbivorous animals and smear them on the body, which can also achieve a similar effect. The average African
They are all made from cow dung.”
Bi Fang picked off a few leaves from the anti-mosquito tree, tore off the upper surface film, rubbed and applied them directly on the skin. When the juice overflowed, a faint fragrance also appeared in the air.
Especially the cheeks and arms were rubbed repeatedly to ensure that they were contaminated with enough odor substances.
Now, he can finally sleep well.
A few nights ago, the weather was cold and Bifang was neatly dressed, but there was still a buzzing in his ears.
After the oil was finished refining and all the work was almost done, Bifang turned off the live broadcast and slowly entered his dream with Harley's company.
The vitality of plants is often incredibly luxuriant. Early the next morning, Bi Fang looked far away on the grassland and could already see a thin layer of green. He didn't know whether it was because of the arrival of the wet season or because of the progress of one person and one leopard.
, gradually came to other areas.
【Good morning Fang Shen, what are you going to do today?】
【Do you still want to hunt?】
"We don't have to worry about hunting for now, our trophies haven't been packed away yet."
After washing, Bi Fang poured out the thick oil that had solidified, mixed it with plant ash, and leaves of the anti-mosquito tree, and made a piece of soap according to the proportions.
The use is obvious, it is used to clean the body.
During so many days of travel, Bi Fang had never taken a shower and felt extremely uncomfortable.
But first, you need a water storage container.
African rivers cannot be drained, so water can only be boiled in containers for washing.
There are plenty of water storage containers, kettles, and stomach bags, all of which are fine, but they are too small and too troublesome to use for bathing, and the stomach bag still contains coagulated blood clots, which makes it even worse.
"I'm going to make a clay pot. I need to see if there is any clay nearby."
[This scene seems familiar]
[I remember, I made it when I was making iron]
[I think about it, no wonder it looks so familiar]
[Let’s go to the past highlights]
Bi Fang started searching around the camp.
He needs a clay pot, but it's not so pretentious as taking a bath. Clay pots have many other uses, so it's not a waste.
"Pottery making is the first craft developed in human culture. Many jars still in use are made from natural river bottom mud and the simplest handwork and firing techniques. The containers you make yourself may
They are crude, but they will be your tools for cooking and eating, as well as for boiling water for bathing.”
"In a wild living environment, you can't buy ready-made clay, but you can find many natural raw materials around you."
"Most of the clay is formed after granite is exposed to wind and sun. It can be found everywhere, but it is best to dig out river bends and look for clean clay without stains, because the best clay will be stored in
Here."
Bi Fang came to the river yesterday. This was not the place where the hunting took place, so after checking that there was no danger, he found a good place to dig directly, and found the clay without much effort.
Bi Fang also demonstrated the subsequent production process earlier, but because some people may not know it, he explained it again.
To make clay pots, the flame temperature requirements do not need to be too high. You do not need a blast furnace or charcoal. Just dig a hole and have enough firewood.
"It's just that the shape is a little troublesome to make. We can make small clay pots directly as we do by hand, but big pottery pots cannot. If they are not round enough, they will easily break when fired. So we have a little trick, which is to knead the clay into shapes.
Long, rounded strips are stacked layer by layer, which can prevent them from bursting due to lack of roundness to a certain extent."
【Ah, new method】
【I have never learned this trick before!】
【Another day of learning knowledge, taking notes, taking notes! 】
[Boy, watch carefully, you can learn some things]
Many viewers who watched the steelmaking episode also aroused curiosity.
Another brand new trick.
Whenever the audience thinks they have finished learning Fang Shen's tricks, he always comes up with something new and novel.
Bi Fang found a clean and tidy stone slab, re-moistened the dried clay after roasting, and made it into clay. Finally, he rolled it into long strips little by little with his hands, and slowly piled it up on the basis of a round cake of clay.
"In the middle of each layer of long strips, be careful to glue them together. It is best to glue them together so that no gaps can be seen and they are completely integrated."
Bi Fang's technique is naturally good. In the process of kneading layer by layer, the entire pottery pot gradually takes shape, and it is completely impossible to tell that this thing is stacked with long strips.
Soon, a clay pot as big as a common pickle pot was slowly formed under Bifang's hands.
After a little drying, after the clay pot hardened, Bi Fang directly put it into the pit, filled it with dry wood, and lit it on fire.
The color of the wet yellow clay pot quickly faded under the baking of the flames. By the time Bi Fang took it out, it was almost ready.
"Normally speaking, it takes several days to dry before firing, otherwise it will easily break. However, I pursue speed and have sufficient raw materials. It doesn't take much effort to make one, so I can just bake it. It looks good now."
Bi Fang poured some water into it, and there was no leakage.
【Handmade Master!】
[A group of craft UP masters on Island B feel weak compared to Fang Shen!]
[When it comes to handicrafts, it has to be Fang Shen]
【Fang Shen taught me crafts!!】
[I also want to learn craft work (dog head)]
[I always feel that what you say is not serious]
[Pinch with a handle, flatten and make a round shape]
With the big container, I can finally boil water.
It's a pity that it still needs to cool down, which is another long wait.
For this reason, it was not until the afternoon that Bi Fang put on soap and took a fairly good warm bath.
Fortunately, there is no time display for the task, so there is no rush.
Bi Fang also planned to continue living here today and explore around the camp to see if there was anything useful.
It's actually quite rewarding.
An extremely large and uncoordinated tree jumped out from the horizon and jumped into everyone's sight.
The trunk of this tree is extremely short and thick. It looks like a whole piece of toast. Finally, there are a few branches on the crown of the tree. It is also covered with bird's nests. The bird's nests are extremely huge. Are there any brown ones?
Birds were flying in and out, and it looked like the tree crown had been given an unsightly haircut.
【Hey, I seem to have seen this tree before】
[Looks familiar, but can’t place the name]
【I know, it’s the baobab tree!】
[Oh, it’s hard to see something I recognize]
【This bird's nest is so big!】
[What kind of bird is this? I feel like I’ve seen it before]
[Not sure, but I’ve seen it in the animal world]
"It's a baobab tree with weavers on it."
Bi Fang showed a big smile, feeling happy about this scene.
Mainly because I saw another interesting creature.
"When traveling in Africa, you often see a large composite bird's nest on a tree. These are the masterpieces of weaver birds. They look very much like sparrows in size and appearance. They are often woven from grass stems, grass leaves, willow fibers, etc.
The oval-shaped bird's nests hanging on the branches are very spectacular because of their habit of clustering, so their nests are constantly spliced together."
"The largest bird's nest in the world is located in a desert in South Africa. It is said that the length, width and height are 6 meters, 4 meters and 2 meters respectively. There are at least 500 nesting birds living in it. It is very scary, like a tree.
It’s like putting a hat on it.”
【Blocked my old baby】
【Damn, five hundred???】
[Can this thing be lived in?]
[How stinky it must be in there]
[Novel angle]
[Snake: Is this the canteen? 】
[By the way, what is a baobab tree? Why don’t you explain it? 】
[I remember that baobab trees are very useful? Isn’t that true, Fang Shen]
"That's right." Bi Fang nodded, "The baobab tree has so many uses. For travelers, it can not only quench thirst, but also satisfy hunger. Look at its trunk, it's very thick, right?"
Everyone couldn't help but nodded. Bifang stood under the canopy of the baobab tree, looking very small.
I guess ten people might not be able to hug it, it's ridiculously thick.
"No matter where the baobab tree grows, its trunk is very thick. In order to survive the dry season, the wood of the baobab tree is very loose. It can be said that it is strong on the outside but dry on the inside, hard on the outside and soft on the inside."
"This kind of wood is best for storing water. During the rainy season, it uses its thick body and soft wood to replace its root system, absorbing and storing large amounts of water."
"Its xylem is like a porous sponge, which contains a lot of water. Whenever the dry season comes, in order to reduce water evaporation, it will quickly shed all its leaves. Wait until the dry season to enjoy it slowly."
"When it is full of water, it will grow leaves and bloom large white flowers. It is said that it can store thousands of kilograms or even more of water. It can be called a water storage tower in the wilderness."
"This is just its function of replenishing water. According to the information, its fruit is also very delicious and has a bready smell, so that's why the word bread is in the name."
Bready?
The audience in front of the screen was a little surprised.
The lighthouse jellyfish is a small jellyfish that lives in tropical seas. Its biggest feature is that it can recover from the mature state to the larval state, and there is no limit to the number of times this process can occur. That is, if it is not eaten by other animals, theoretically the lighthouse jellyfish can
