During the two afternoons, when the weather was the hottest, almost 7 hours had passed since Su Yan last ate. Fortunately, water was provided free of charge.
At this time, he and Wu Jing were hiding in a cave. They were both sweating and their faces were tired. Not far away was a blazing bonfire.
It took them more than three hours to complete the temporary shelter. As for the remaining three hours, they were really fighting against the fire.
I never expected that it would be so difficult to live with flint and steel. Of course, this is also related to my lack of experience.
The closest one was when green smoke started to appear, and before the two of them were happy, it went out again.
The program team next to me looked relieved and distressed.
Su Yan's early performance was so good that everyone worried that the difficulty setting was too easy.
However, I found that both of their hands were blistered and they could not successfully ignite the fire. Then I realized that they were limited to theoretical knowledge. In terms of practical operation, they were still far behind. However, Su Yan was the boss after all. These few hours had been hard.
A lot of sin.
After finally succeeding with Wu Jing's unremitting efforts, the staff hurried forward and asked the doctor to check their hands. After confirming that there were no problems, they performed simple treatments and then continued filming.
"So, the TV you watch doesn't teach people how to live."
After Wu Jing sat for a while, his physical strength also recovered.
"They all seem to be using lighters." Su Yan also smiled bitterly: "It took three hours to light the fire. It really took a while to pinch it. It would have affected our image too much."
"Fortunately, the program team didn't ask us to drill wood to make fire." Wu Jing was a little scared: "We probably won't be able to light it until night."
"Your clan leader doesn't even have flint. By the way, the staff on the island just sent news that Zhu Jianjun is enjoying grilled fish." Sister Hong said from the side.
With this mention of food, Su Yan couldn't sit still.
"I'm so hungry. I don't know if anyone else has found anything to eat." He stood up and walked outside.
"Hey! Director Su, we're back!" Chi Chi's voice came from behind.
After Wu Jing heard this, he immediately jumped out. He was so fast that he was worthy of being an action actor.
"Wow! You guys are so awesome, you actually seem to have a warm feeling." Fu Yuanhui exclaimed.
"What about you, have you gained anything?" Seeing that both of them had their hands behind their backs, Su Yan looked forward to it.
Chi Chi and her companions looked at each other: "Sorry, I didn't find anything. I found a lot of coconuts, but I couldn't pick them. With my size, it's too difficult to climb a tree."
Wu Jing shook his head: "Stop hiding, I've seen it all!"
"Hahaha, how embarrassing!" Chichi laughed: "Only this, and this."
As they spoke, the two took out the things in their hands.
2 bunches of green bananas, a pineapple, and a few orange or lemon fruits.
"The harvest is good!" Su Yan praised, while Wu Jing couldn't wait any longer and started peeling the pineapple with a knife.
"Is this a lemon?"
"Yes, it's sour. We didn't pick more." Fu Yuanhui must have tried it in advance.
"This banana is not ripe yet. Can it be eaten?" Wu Jing was busy with his hands and did not forget to stare.
"No! It's cooked. It's delicious." Chichi picked one, peeled it off, and fed it directly into his mouth: "We've eaten a lot, and our stomachs are still full now."
Wu Jing was still doubtful at first, but seeing Fu Yuanhui nodding there, he took a big bite and started chewing.
"Ah! Bah! Bah! Bah!"
After a few seconds, his entire face became distorted and his eyes were so narrow that he could no longer see.
"Hahahaha!" Chi Chi burst into laughter, then took out a yellow one from his pocket and handed it to Su Yan: "Director."
"Oh! Can you still find a fully mature one? It's not easy." Su Yan smiled and took it.
"Well, there are only two in total. Xiao Fu and I shared one. This string is actually just for fun."
"It's so numb, so astringent, my tongue can't feel it anymore." Wu Jing gargled.
Su Yan broke open the small banana and gave him half, while he finished it in two bites.
"Who said this is inedible? Fortunately, you brought it back." He picked it up and slowly picked it off one by one.
Wu Jing's pineapple was only cut in half, and the rest was left to Xiao Nanyuan and the others. The four of them shared a small piece, which was considered to supplement the sugar.
Su Yan wiped the corners of his mouth and continued what he was doing.
"How can this be eaten? Didn't you see the lessons I learned from this?"
"Who told you to eat it raw? It must be astringent." Su Yan picked up a green banana and said, "This must be cooked and eaten."
After saying that, he threw it directly into the fire.
"Will it taste different this way?" Chi Chi looked doubtful, but still helped.
Fu Yuanhui was more attentive: "What's wrong with your hands? Put this band-aid on them."
Su Yan was embarrassed to say it was because of the fire: "It hung up when I was moving things. It's nothing."
"Be careful!"
"I don't know if Wang Luodan and the others have gained anything. It would be great if they could catch a big fish." Chi Chi sat by the fire and looked forward to it.
"Thinking too much." Su Yan poured cold water on him: "It's hard to catch without tools, and night is a good time for hunting."
"Is that so? I plan to go down and have a look!" Fu Yuanhui was a little disappointed. As a swimming champion, she must rely on her to catch fish.
"Let's wait until they come back first."
About twenty minutes later, they saw Xiao Nanyuan and the others coming back from the beach carrying fishing nets.
"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"
Nan Ge said after pouring a lot of water.
The half-meter-long fishing net contained half a bag of shells, and there seemed to be crabs. That wasn't all. Unexpectedly, I also picked up a small basin.
"We even have cooking utensils. Thank you for your hard work. Here are the pineapples to cushion your stomach first, and the bananas will be ready soon." Su Yan put the small basin on the iron stand, which was quite suitable.
The two of them have not been working all these hours, but it is certainly not easy to pick up so many shellfish one by one.
Wang Luodan got the half-cut lemon and it was so sour that he was about to throw it away when Su Yan stopped him.
"Don't waste it."
Then squeeze it hard and squeeze the juice into the small basin.
They brought back mostly mussels and two half-hand-sized crabs, which seemed to be a lot, but not to mention athletes like Fu Yuanhui, even Wang Luodan could feed them.
But as the water in the small pot gradually heated up, six pairs of eyes were staring closely at it.
The program team inherited Su Yan's peeing habit, and they all played it real. They said they wouldn't give food to them, but they really didn't give it to them. They hadn't eaten for several hours, and the breakfast items had long been used up, not to mention everyone was there.
Non-stop labor.
Especially Brother Nan, who kept swallowing his saliva and asked when it would be ready.
"Before enjoying the seafood feast, let's try the staple food first." Su Yan said as he stirred the fire.
"Hey, is there any other food?" Wang Luodan was very happy.
"It can't be sweet potatoes," Brother Nan guessed.
Su Yan picked out a banana that had been roasted black with a long stick: "Xiao Nan, you are the hardest worker, try it first."
"Is this...a banana?"
Xiao Nanyuan didn't care about burning it, picked it up with both hands, carefully peeled it off, and handed it to Wang Luodan beside him first.
Everyone's attention shifted from the seafood to her.
"Why don't we all share it?" Wang Luodan felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, there are still many, try it." Su Yan continued what he was doing, and then sat by the fire for a while, with big beads of sweat flowing down his face.
The young lady felt relieved and took a big bite.
His expression was curious at first, then his pupils gradually enlarged and he smiled.
"What does it smell like?"
Everyone is curious.
Wang Luodan thought about it carefully: "It tastes very much like potatoes, but it also has a special sweetness. The more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes. If you didn't tell me, you wouldn't know it's a banana."
Chichi regretted it as soon as she heard it: "If I had known I would have picked more and come back."
"It's okay. I remember where it is. We'll go there in the afternoon." Fu Yuanhui consoled her.
After a while, Su Yan had taken out all the fire bananas and added some wood.
Then six people gathered around, with a dozen grilled bananas placed in the middle.
"Be careful, it's very hot." Wu Jing reminded from the side.
"Director Su, how do you know you can do this?"
It was not easy to peel the roasted bananas because they were all stuck together. Brother Nan was reluctant to throw away the peels and put them in his mouth to gnaw them clean first.
"I searched it on the computer, but this is my first time eating it, and it tastes really good." Su Yan replied with a breath.
"Look at the show crew, they seem quite disappointed that we are not starving," Wu Jing looked up and smiled.
Sister Hong admitted it simply: "The production team underestimated your strength and lack of experience. We will pay attention next time."
"Next time?" Su Yan smiled: "Then Director Wu is the only one left here."
Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, choked directly, and kept coughing.
Chi Chi quickly got him a bottle of water: "Director Wu, does this count as digging a hole and jumping out of it!"
Everyone shared a dozen bananas, but it wasn't much. After eating, they all looked at the small pot with unsatisfied taste.
"Almost!"
Su Yan's words made everyone's eyes light up.
"Let's make a pair of chopsticks by ourselves first."
It can only be said that human potential is unlimited, especially when you are hungry.
Within a few minutes, a pair of hands appeared, squatting on the edge like a little beast waiting to be fed.
Su Yan took the basin off the fire very carefully. He had no doubt that if he accidentally dropped it on the ground, he would definitely become a public enemy.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong.
Wu Jing took advantage of this moment to make a simple wooden spoon with a knife and handed it to Su Yan.
Maybe because they are all seafood, the soup looks very good.
He scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently, and drank it into his mouth.
Several others unconsciously followed his movements and raised their heads slightly.
"How about it?"
"Does it taste good?"
"Would it be fishy?"
Su Yan closed his eyes, experienced it for a few seconds, and then extended his thumb.
"Fresh! There is no fishy smell at all, and the saltiness is just right. I thought it was made in a restaurant."
After speaking, he handed over the spoon.
In this case, everyone didn't care anymore and took turns to taste it.
"Hahahaha! I decided to continue digging for shells in the afternoon, it's so delicious." Xiao Nanyuan was happy.
Although everyone was very hungry, they still took care of the girls and asked them to eat more during the meal.
It took several hours to find ingredients and cook.
