The Film Emperor's Daily Live Cooking Broadcast

Chapter 109

At the moment when the guests were driven to their wits’ end, the communicator they carried suddenly received a message — please try to settle the problem of your accommodation for the next 30 days. After completion, the program team will provide each team two items from a selection of ten that will help in surviving in the wild. Priority to choose will be given in the order of completion.

[MasTer: Hahaha, the program team’s being nice this time. Were they finally pricked by their conscience?]

[A flying puppet: I don’t know what items they’ll provide but I think Panpan and Shasha are about to go crazy.]

This message undoubtedly gave everyone hope, if there was a tool to assist them, it would definitely help their current situation.

Everyone suddenly got fired up. One after another they all put down the things they were doing and focused on building their temporary shelters.

Ruan Tang also got ready to help He Yun Chen, but was rejected.

“I can manage by myself. You go and cook.”

Ruan Tang shook his head. “Without a kitchen knife, there’s no way to descale the fishes.”

The program team had only allowed them to bring pans and bowls. Everything else was not allowed. It seemed like those were waiting for them here.

He Yun Chen had no choice but to let him serve as his assistant.

[Yin Xiaoyu: Hahaha, I feel that Marshal He and Tang Tang really are like a true CP!]

[Saki: Yes, yes, when husband and wife work together, work is made lighter. Did anyone realize that the Marshal seems to be a lot more enthusiastic in his work?]

[Wu Dong’s Sleep: That’s right! And my Tang is such a perfect wifey! He just wiped away the marshal’s sweat. This picture is just so loving!]

Most of the guests, including Ruan Tang and He Yun Chen, chose to build a wooden house. Only Zha Panpan and Wu Shasha had a cave in their camp. It seemed that there should be no problem in securing their accommodation. But in fact, it was very difficult to clean up. The black bear had lived in the cave for a long time. Not only were there rotten fruit, there were also all sorts of animal remains. Without the right tools, cleaning this cave was an impossible task.

Chen Ye and Cao Jun were also very unlucky. There were no trees at all near their grassland campsite. To get enough wood to build a wooden house, they had to go farther. Both of them would be half-dead from exhaustion.

Chen Yuanwu and Gu Yan can be regarded as a strong-strong combination. Whether it was chopping down trees or processing the wood, they did it all very quickly. But it was much more difficult to build a tree house than it was to build a wooden house on the ground.

Qiu Ming and Shi Mingxu chose to camp far away from the lake for the sake of safety, but the terrain was very rocky. The ground was uneven, and there were some bugs crawling through the cracks in the stone. Erecting the house directly on top of the rocky ground was out of the question. They needed to erect a wooden foundation, and then build their wooden house on top of that. And because of that, they couldn’t speed up their work.

In the end, just as expected, He Yun Chen and Ruan Tang became the first group to complete their house and they obtained the right to choose items first.

The program team prepared ten items, including a tarpaulin, kitchen knife, lighter, flashlight, towel, gloves, kettle, broom, air freshener, and rope.

[Fill the eyes with mulberries: Hahahaha, the show crew is really devious. No wonder they were told to only bring pots and bowls. All the other things were waiting here!]

[Genuine Devil: When I saw the air freshener, I already felt the boundless maliciousness of the program team. My poor Panpan and Shasha!]

He Yun Chen and Ruan Tang discussed it and chose the tarpaulin and kitchen knife. The tarpaulin can prevent the fire from getting wet when it rains. It can also be used to cover the roof to keep off the rain. Although a stone knife can be used as a substitute, it wasn’t as convenient. They didn’t need much else. They already had fire anyway.

Chen Yuanwu and Gu Yan were the second ones to finish. They asked for the rope and a lighter. The rope was very practical. It could be used for both tying things and climbing. It could also be used to make slings and traps. With a lighter, it will be much easier for them to light a fire.

The third one was Qiu Ming and Shi Mingxu, but by this time, their options were limited. They chose a flashlight and a kettle. The flashlight could be used for light during the night, and the kettle was convenient for holding water, and could just barely be considered as practical.

Chen Yun and Cao Jun were the fourth ones to finish. They made countless trips to the dense forest to gather wood and now they were almost paralyzed from weariness. They chose the towels and gloves, not because they were particularly useful, but because they didn’t know what they’d need the air fresheners and brooms for.

In the end, Zha Panpan and Wu Shasha found some thick branches and used them like brooms. But the girl were completely repulsed by to this dirty and smelly place. Wu Shasha, because her five senses were too sensitive, had to hold her breath while clearing the cave. Even so, she was still made dizzy by the fumes. Zha Panpan was slightly better off than she was, but she too could barely put up with the smell. When the two of them finally finished cleaning, they felt that the stench had already stuck on their skin.

Fortunately, the last two things were tailor-made for the two of them. Although they tried to clear the cave just now, the branches couldn’t do as good a job as a broom and the air freshener could help them get rid of the dominating stench.

Soon someone sent the items they chose to their camp. When Zha Panpan and Wu Shasha got the air freshener, they were overjoyed, as though they had just gotten a new lease of life.

[Han Yu: Although Panpan and Sha Sha look particularly miserable, but I still kinda feel like laughing?]

[Mo Rilan: Hahahaha, when Panpan and Shasha saw the air freshener, their eyes went all bright! It’s really too miserable ...]

Ruan Tang and He Yun Chen also got their tarpaulin and kitchen knife. The program team wasn’t completely depraved. The tarpaulin was large enough, and they gave them two kitchen knives, one large and one small.

So, He Yun Chen cut the tarpaulin into two pieces. One was placed on the roof of the wooden house to block out the rain. In order to prevent the tarpaulin from being blown away by the wind, he also put a few stones on top of it. Another piece could be laid down on the ground for when they slept at night. In case of rain, you could use it to build a simple shed to protect the stove.

Ruan Tang was now processing the fish using the knife. With a kitchen knife, removing the scales and internal organs became much easier. He quickly handled the fish. The fire was already on, and although there was no shovel, it wasn’t difficult for Ruan Tang to control it. After all, fish soup can be cooked as long as it was boiled in the pot. The grilled fish can be grilled by sticking it next to the campfire.

It didn’t take long for the scent of the grilled fish to waft about. Ruan Tang carefully turned the wooden stick so that the fish would cook evenly. He then sprinkled it with a little salt and chili and the delicious grilled fish was finished. The fish soup though needed to cook for longer and couldn’t be eaten yet.

Ruan Tang took two bowls, sliced the fish and divided it into two bowls. He then made two pairs of chopsticks from some thin branches, and he started eating with He Yun Chen.

Although the conditions were very difficult and there were no special seasoning used, the taste of the grilled fish was still delicious. They had no idea what kind of fish it was, but it had almost no bones, its meat was smooth and tender, and there was no fishiness. The white fish was deliciously savory with a slight spiciness, which stimulated everyone’s appetite.

The audience also turned on the holographic mode to taste Ruan Tang’s craftsmanship!

[Rosy-cheeked pig disaster: Oh, unexpectedly, my Tang can make such delicious grilled fish under such difficult conditions!]

[Yanran: I’m looking forward to tasting the fish soup! When will it be ready?]

Soon, the fish soup was ready to be served. The milky white fish soup was extremely fragrant, and it looked very appetizing.

They each poured a bowl of warm fish soup and drank it. It was like the exhaustion from the previous afternoon’s work was suddenly swept away. Although only a little bit of salt, scallions and ginger were used to remove the fishiness, because the ingredient had been very fresh, the resulting soup was very delicious and appetizing.

[Xihua: I see my Tang and the Marshal eating and living well, and then I see the other groups. It really makes people want to sigh—it wouldn’t be so bad without a comparison! ]
