Chapter 153(1/2)
Teacher Ma (Additional update for the helmsman Wang Duola)
The cameraman kept eating Ma Xiaoshu's cold frog, added with Houttuynia cordata, the taste was amazing, and the foreigner said he was very fond of it.
Mr. Bei also tasted a piece and praised sincerely: "I didn't expect that raw frogs can be so delicious!"
Ma Xiaoshu was full of doubts. Is this delicious?
How inexperienced are you?
Oh yes! Lao Bei is British, so it makes sense! After all, that is the famous dark culinary kingdom.
No wonder he dares to eat everything he sees raw, because even cooked food may not taste better than raw food.
After walking for a long time, the sky gradually darkened.
And they were still deep in the jungle. They had calculated before coming here that they would have to sleep in the wilderness tonight. Ma Xiaoshu was not panic at all, since Mr. Bei was there anyway.
When they came to a hillside covered with bamboos, Mr. Bei said, "It seems we will stay here tonight."
Ma Xiaoshu was tired and numb: "Oh..."
In terms of physical strength and endurance, he is still a bit lacking. After all, he is just a powerful ordinary person.
Of course, it’s also possible that I consumed too much the night before…
"Hey! Spare food, did you see those bamboos?"
"I saw it."
"They are very useful. In fact, bamboo is an excellent material for survival in the wild. It can build a house, drink water, carry things and can be used as a weapon. Can you use bamboo to make tools?"
"Me? I'm just ordinary..."
"Then let me teach you. Let's go chop down some thicker bamboos and come back, Lebagou."
"dog!"
Soon, Ma Xiaoshu followed Mr. Bei to cut back a few bamboos.
Mr. Bei skillfully split the bamboo in the middle and closed the two ends to form seven or eight two-meter long strips in the middle. Then he stretched out the strips and used vines to weave them horizontally. Then, a hammock was ready.
.
He tied the bamboo hammock between two trees with vines: "I hope it can bear my weight. If it breaks, some guys will laugh at me."
Ma Xiaoshu was learning from the side: "Are you talking about Mr. De?"
Lao Bei: "Ahem! Of course... no. Wow, it can completely bear my weight. It's a perfect hammock! It's just a bit narrow, so I can't turn over."
Ma Xiaoshu: "Then make it wider."
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Make two hammocks and tie them together. This will make sleeping more comfortable."
"I'm asking what the name of the one you made up is?"
"Lang mat! The hammock is too uncomfortable. It would be better to lay out a mat. Of course, I can only make a little bit, time does not allow for it."
"Well……"
I teach you how to make a hammock, why are you weaving a mat?
Do you still want to make a pillow?
Yes!
Ma Xiaoshu made another bamboo pillow. It was very rough, but after wrapping it in palm leaves, it was quite comfortable.
In fact, both the mat and pillows were woven very randomly. Ma Xiaoshu was in a hurry and drew bamboo strips one finger wide to save trouble.
But even so, compared with Bei Ye's crudely made products, it instantly became high-end.
Mr. Bei was dumbfounded: "The craftsmanship is good! Spare food, you... As a singer, why can you weave bamboo?"
Ma Xiaoshu: "Because in my hometown, almost all furniture and tools are made of wood and bamboo. I learned woodcraft and bamboo craft from my father since I was a child. He is an out-and-out farmer, so he is very proficient in it.
These."
Mr. Bei was filled with admiration: "You have an amazing father. Does he still weave his own tools?"
Ma Xiaoshu shook his head: "No, he had a stroke."
Mr. Bei: "Saori, that's such a sad story..."
Ma Xiaoshu grinned: "It's not sad at all, it's very funny. He went to help others with carpentry work, drank fake wine at night and fell into the pond... He swam to the shore with his face! He is a very good swimmer.
"
Mr. Bei: "..."
This really makes people speechless. I always feel that Ma Xiaoshu and his father are the same kind of people, powerful and weird.
When the show was broadcast, the audience laughed like crazy. Ma Xiaoshu's father is also a strong man.
After that, Ma Xiaoshu taught Bei Ye how to weave a mat, and also taught him how to weave bamboo trellises to make a roof. It is not possible to lay palm leaves directly. The wind will disappear as soon as the wind comes. Fixing the palm leaves on the bamboo trellises with thin wires will make it much more stable.
.
Mr. Bei benefited a lot, but he always felt that he was being robbed of the limelight, so he took advantage of the darkness and went to make traps to catch small animals. The bait was the entrails of bats and bullfrogs.
There is no doubt that his skills and experience are rich, but they are too rough.
"We use heavy objects to make a mechanism. As long as the mechanism is triggered, the weight will fall down. Maybe there will be an unexpected harvest tomorrow..."
"Why not use bamboo sticks? It can definitely nail small animals to the ground, and heavy objects will not hit it properly."
"That would be too complicated."
"It's not complicated at all. Look at me, do this and do this again..."
Teacher Ma started the class, and Mr. Bei studied very seriously. In fact, many of the mechanisms he used to catch animals were learned from local people around the world.
And Ma Xiaoshu's mechanisms are very sophisticated and come in many types.
This is what he has been playing since childhood.
When I was young, every year there would be many smoked birds, voles and hares hanging above the stove in his house, which were more fragrant than bacon.
Barrage:
"Teacher Ma is so versatile."
"I asked you to make a hammock, why did you make a three-piece suit?"
"I have to say that Ma Xiaoshu's bamboo weaving skills are really three steps ahead of Bei Ye."
"My grandpa would make these too."
"Is it true that Ma Xiaoshu said that his father drank fake wine?"
"Yes! He was even on the news in our county at that time... The host said he was very inspirational!"
"Ma Xiaoshu teaches Mr. Bei how to make traps?"
"Are you too arrogant?"
"It's normal! Mr. Bei knows a lot, but he's not afraid of learning more."
"Ma Xiaoshu's hands are so skillful."
After setting up the surrounding mechanisms, it was already very dark.
Mr. Bei is lighting a fire.
In the darkness, Ma Xiaoshu said quietly: "As the biggest boss in the survival world, isn't it a bit cheap to use flint and steel to make fire? Lao Bei?"
In more than a day, the two have become familiar with each other.
After all, Ma Xiaoshu is the best at dealing with people.
Mr. Bei argued: "I can make a fire in a hundred ways, but it's not necessary. This trip is mainly about surviving in the typhoon rainforest, and the method of making fire is not the key."
Ma Xiaoshu: "I should have known I would have brought a lighter."
Mr. Bei: "Why not? The most important thing for survival in the rainforest has never been making fire, but traveling, hunting and spending the night. There are dangers everywhere here."
Ma Xiaoshu started making roasted bullfrogs and bats. He had not finished eating them before and saved them for the evening.
This time, instead of grilling it over an open fire, he burned the remaining bamboo materials into charcoal, so that the charcoal grill had no smoke smell.
Soon, the three of them were enjoying the steaming barbecue.
Ma Xiaoshu sighed: "I forgot to bring cumin!!!"
Oh shit!
If I had known the bullfrogs here were so stupid, I would have brought cumin with me!
No one was full, but it would be nice to have something to eat.
Later, Mr. Bei went to inspect the area around the camp. He had to ensure that the guests were safe.
Ma Xiaoshu was chatting with the camera guy. Although his English had almost no grammar and his pronunciation was peppery, he never had stage fright and chatted with the guy in a lively manner.
