Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 36 Building a Bathroom

"It smells so good!" An Yifei said as she handed the chopsticks to Meng Chao.

"Let me try it. Oppa's cooking looks very good." Lee Ji-eun picked up a piece of steaming rabbit meat and put it in her mouth, then chewed it quickly.

Then, her eyes lit up and she gave Meng Chao a thumbs up: "Delicious, very delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, really delicious."

"Yeah, it's really delicious. I didn't expect that we could eat such delicious roasted rabbit meat in the wilderness. We are so happy." An Yifei did not hesitate to praise.

Ma Dongxi didn't say anything, but just gave Meng Chao a thumbs up.

"It's really good. You can open a barbecue restaurant there. I will definitely patronize it." Cai Fankun also gave his own comments.

Meng Chao was eating a big rabbit leg. He had not expected that the rabbit meat he roasted would be so good. It was an extraordinary performance.

He doesn’t have to worry about the future, after all, when he is proficient enough, he can level up and improve his barbecue skills.

The two rabbits were soon finished. After all, there was not much meat on them, and Meng Chao and Ma Dongxi both had big appetites.

"It feels so good to be full." An Yifei touched her stomach happily.

"Yes, this day has been very difficult, but compared with other groups, our group seems to be in the best situation." Lee Ji-eun said with a look of relief, and her eyes couldn't help but drift towards Meng Chao.

Ma Dongxi smacked his lips with some satisfaction, and then said, "Take a break, we are going to start laying the roof."

Meng Chao didn't say anything. He silently took the machete and started to build the bathroom.

He used a machete to chop ten wooden sticks of the same length, and then began to chisel the mortise and tenon joints with a carpenter's chisel.

Others were laying out the leaves, using sharpened wooden spikes to secure the banana leaves to prevent them from slipping away.

Meng Chao found that his efficiency in making mortise and tenon joints had greatly improved after he had mastered the basic woodworking skills.

Half an hour later, Meng Chao had made a square frame and a field-shaped frame.

"Oppa, are you planning to use this frame to build a bathroom?"

After completing her auxiliary task, Li Zhien came to Meng Chao and asked curiously.

"Yes, just fix the four wooden sticks to the four corners of the two square frames. I just need your help."

"Come on, stand up this Chinese character 田 (Field)." As he said that, Meng Chao handed a frame to Lee Ji-eun.

Then, Meng Chao picked up a two-meter-long wooden stick and placed it at a corner of the frame. He used the mortise and tenon structure to fit the stick into the groove on the frame, and then tied it with several rolls of rope made of thatch to reinforce it.

When Li Zhien saw Meng Chao's actions, she immediately understood Meng Chao's intention.

After a while, Meng Chao had fixed the four sticks.

"Finished!" Meng Chao happily stood up a 'cabinet'.

This bathroom is more than two meters high and about one meter wide.

[Basic Woodworking Proficiency +1]
Meng Chao was not surprised to see the prompt pop up, because he had guessed it pretty much.

"Are the four sides blocked by those grasses?" An Yifei also understood and couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, yes, now we need everyone to work together."

"Come and lift it, let's choose a suitable location for the bathroom." Meng Chao said to Li Zhien.

"I'll carry the lantern." An Yifei also wanted to go, so she went to get the camping lantern.

Ma Dong-seok and Chae Beom-gon followed because they also needed to take a shower.

Meng Chao chose a relatively flat spot, about seven or eight meters away from the rock wall. "We also need to pile stones around these three sides to stabilize them." Meng Chao gestured and then looked at Ma Dongxi and Cai Fankun.

"Is it okay to leave it to you two?"

Ma Dongxi made an 'OK' gesture and said, "Okay, leave it to the two of us. It's not difficult."

"Okay, then let's go back and build a fence." Meng Chao said as he took An Yifei and Li Zhien back to the shelter.

"We need to twist the rope first, but your hands are too tender, so leave this job to me."

After saying that, Meng Chao picked up some straw and started to make a rope.

Due to various skilled techniques, his hands have become rough and have calluses, so there is no need to worry about hurting his palms.

An Yifei and Lee Ji-eun are different. They have never done any rough work and their hands are very white and tender.

After seeing this, An Yifei picked up some straw and prepared to learn.

"This thatch is quite sharp and can easily cut your hands. Don't try it. We don't have gloves."

"Actually, I was expecting the mysterious item to be gloves. This is actually much more practical than a sleeping bag."

Unfortunately, the production team was clearly not prepared to let everyone relax.

The rope does not need to be too thick, it is used to fix the thatch to the wooden stick.

"It would be much easier if there were more banana leaves. It would be much easier to use banana leaves as fences." An Yifei said with regret.

Because there were not enough banana leaves, even the shelter could not be fully built.

"It's okay. It's the same with these thatches. It just takes some time."

"The night is long and we have plenty of time. They will come back to help us once they have built the fort." Meng Chao said optimistically.

"Should we have someone take turns to keep watch at night?" An Yifei threw some dry firewood into the campfire, making the flames brighter.

Meng Chao rubbed his hands and said, "We need at least one person. This place is not completely safe."

"It's enough for everyone to take turns guarding for an hour or two. After all, there are five of us."

It was just past seven o'clock and no one had taken a shower yet. I guess no one would go to bed so early.

"Yeah, if there's no one to keep watch, you won't be able to sleep well. This is a wilderness." After saying that, Lee Ji-eun couldn't help but look around and then shrank her neck.

"You don't have to worry too much. If there is really any danger, the program team will definitely intervene." Meng Chao saw that the two were worried and comforted them.

The two girls nodded and couldn't help but look at their own balls.

In the bathroom, Cai Fankun picked up a stone and handed it to Ma Dongxi, then started complaining.

"The production team is too stingy. Shouldn't they prepare a simple bathroom and toilet for us?"

"With so many follow-up shots, what if you take pictures of something you shouldn't take?"

Ma Dong-seok took the stone, placed it in the appropriate position, then looked up at the ball.

"I agree with you. I can still take care of myself if there is no bathroom, but I really can't get used to not having a toilet. The production team should at least prepare some portable toilets."

As a person from a civilized society, he really couldn't accept suddenly becoming like a primitive man.
