After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 94 Starting a Fire by Drilling Wood (Jiang Hanying Version): Crispy on the Outside and Tender on the Inside

Several guests looked down at themselves.

Jiang Hanying had just discovered the ingenious use of shoelaces to tie people up last night, and now, hearing her cheap owner mention the rope on his body, she immediately thought of the shoelaces on his boots.

He immediately squatted down, untied the cloth, and pulled it off.

The other guests, seeing her actions, suddenly realized what was going on.

If I remember correctly, these shoelaces were used as rope to tie someone up just yesterday.

A single shoelace can have countless uses!

No wonder Jiang Hanying reacted so quickly.

Yun Shuihan lowered her head to untie her shoelaces, her face flushed.

With the materials prepared, Li Chengxiao began to carve the wood.

"Flatten the drill plate, drill a hole near the edge, and make a small groove next to it. One end of the drill rod needs to be sharpened. The fire bow is to replace your hands to make the drill rod spin at high speed. Choose a tree branch with some elasticity, and the method of making it is simple."

The guests watching from the sidelines saw the instructor holding a small knife and whittling the wood into whatever shape he wanted, and they suddenly felt that they could do it too.

His face radiated confidence.

"Place the dry grass under the trough and weigh it down a bit. Now we can start drilling."

After the drill rod spun rapidly under the power of the fire bow, smoke began to rise from the borehole.

Xi Ming: "Gotcha! Gotcha!"

Li Chengxiao didn't stop.

He stopped when so much black powder had been extracted that it fell into a clump of dry grass through the chisel. He then grabbed the dry grass, wrapped it around the black powder, and began to slowly blow air into it.

More and more smoke rose from the clump of withered grass, and Yuan Chaoyu couldn't help but take a few steps back and raise his hand to fan it.

Li Chengxiao remained unaffected and continued blowing slowly until the smoke suddenly turned into a burning fire. Only then did he place the bundle of dry grass into the shallow pit he had dug in advance and put a few dry branches on top of it.

He looked up at the guests and asked, "Did you understand?"

The guests all nodded in agreement.

Watching the instructors start a fire, it seemed pretty simple.

The instructors are highly experienced.

[If you think it's easy, try it yourself and you'll see where the difference lies between you and the instructor.]

[The instructors seem so serious about everything they do.]

[I took a screenshot of the drill instructor through a hazy, smoky lens; it looks just as good as something out of a blockbuster movie.]

Sisters, DM me to share!

Now that you've learned how to do it, the next step is to try them out individually.

After selecting the materials, first drill holes with a knife.

Yu Feng chose a spot opposite Jiang Hanying and made several cuts, but only left a shallow mark on the surface of the branch. He looked at the knife in his hand with some suspicion.

Did she accidentally pick a dull one?
Then look at Jiang Hanying on the other side.

Wood chips flew everywhere!

Jiang Hanying was sharpening a drill rod when she noticed Yu Feng's gaze. "Why are you looking at me?"

"Can I borrow your knife when you're done using it?"

"Okay."

"thanks, thanks."

The viewers in the live stream were left both amused and exasperated.

[Has Yu Feng considered that the problem wasn't the knife, but rather that the branch he chose was too hard or that he wasn't strong enough?]

[She'll know once Jiang Hanying gives her the knife.]

After getting Jiang Hanying's knife, Yu Feng realized he still couldn't cut it: "...Looks like I misjudged the knife!"

[Knife: Your attitude in admitting your mistake is alright, so I'll forgive you.]

Yu Feng wasn't the only one stuck on carving wood; Yuan Chaoyu and Xi Ming were also having a hard time.

However, the former lacked strength and didn't know how to use it, while the latter chose a piece of wood that looked very hard just by looking at its grain.

Fortunately, Xi Ming soon realized something was wrong and simply replaced the piece of wood, which made things much easier.

"hiss!"

Yuan Chaoyu couldn't help but gasp as he watched the blood droplet instantly appear on his fingertip.

Li Chengxiao glanced at her and handed her a pair of gloves. "Go treat your wound first, then put on the gloves before continuing."

[She's already injured after just starting out?] [Miss Yuan probably doesn't handle dangerous things like knives except when filming.]

[I've probably never even used a fruit knife more than a few times in my life.]

It's tough on the goddess to do such rough work.

[The instructor really has no sense of chivalry whatsoever; even with her hands cut, she still had to wear gloves and continue.]

[Definitely a super straight man.]

While Yu Feng was still diligently whittling wood, Jiang Hanying had already drawn her fire bow and started drilling.

As for the minor incident involving Yuan Chaoyu, they didn't even notice it.

Yun Shuihan wanted to help Yuan Chaoyu carve out the tools, but after glancing at the instructor standing not far away, she didn't dare to make a move.

His own progress wasn't particularly fast either.

After finally managing to carve the wood and start drilling, the group encountered all sorts of problems.

Sometimes, while drilling, the fire bow rope wasn't properly tied, and the drill rod flew out of their hands along with it.

Some drills don't smoke for a long time, which means there's not enough friction or the drill plate isn't dry enough.

Others, however, couldn't wait to stop as soon as they saw smoke, resulting in the tiny spark they managed to generate going out in an instant, forcing them to start drilling all over again.

The viewers in the live stream couldn't help but feel anxious for them.

Be patient!

It's not too late to replace the drill bit; don't stubbornly persist.

[Uh, why is the goddess still whittling wood?]

Ten minutes have passed, and so far, not a single one has been successful.

I remember the instructor only took less than five minutes for the whole process, and he even gave a brief explanation.

[Jiang Hanying didn't succeed either? Even a perfect replica doesn't work? This doesn't make sense!]

[I'm not sure if this counts as a success. She did manage to start a fire, but then she put in too many branches and smothered it. This is her second attempt at starting a fire.]

[Pfft, I kind of want to laugh.]

The camera then moves to Jiang Hanying's side.

I captured a rare moment of gloom on someone's face. They noticed the camera and glared at me.

The camera immediately and discreetly shifted to her hands.

[Sparks flew out from the drill!]

[That's quite a bit of strength.]

Having learned from her previous experience, Jiang Hanying was not as straightforward as before when adding branches to the burning bundle of dry grass. As the fire grew bigger and the branches crackled and popped, she couldn't wait to bring over some raw beef.

He then found a thinner twig, threaded it onto the flame, and placed it on the fire.

The aroma soon wafted over, and the other guests who were still busy couldn't help but look up.

Several people couldn't help but swallow.

After all this fuss, I feel like I could swallow a few pieces of raw meat with my eyes closed!
Not to mention the meat that's being roasted over a fire.

After glancing at it a few times, they looked away and then quickened their pace.

Yu Feng had already realized that choosing to stand opposite Jiang Hanying was a mistake.

The aroma of meat, growing stronger and stronger, was wafting towards my nose, but I couldn't eat it yet, and the fire was taking forever to start. It was torture to be caught between these two things!
"Hmm? Is it burnt?"

Jiang Hanying quickly pulled her beef skewer off the grill, saying, "It is a bit dark, but it should still be edible."

He blew on it as he spoke, then took a bite, saying, "Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

Yu Feng: "..."

I shouldn't have given that warning!
Li Chengxiao happened to walk up behind Jiang Hanying, glanced at the charred beef skewers in her hand, paused, and couldn't help but remind her, "The fire is too high."

What do you mean by crispy on the outside and tender on the inside? The outside is clearly burnt while the inside is still raw!

Jiang Hanying redefines what it means to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!

[If the other guests don't step up their game, Jiang Hanying will eat the rest of the beef!]

Seeing that they were about to face a situation where even if they managed to start the fire, there would be no meat to eat, the other guests suddenly unleashed their potential and managed to start the fire in one go.

I was able to eat beef that wasn't very well grilled and hadn't been salted, but at least it was cooked through.

Xi Ming squinted as he ate, "I don't know why, but this beef is especially delicious!"

[Little brother, is it possible that you're just too hungry?]
