Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 53: Snake skin is also edible

"This expression is spot on. It seems like you have become enlightened and have figured out the technique of imitation."

“It took me two years to get to this point.”

"You didn't even last two hours, that's amazing. Meng Chao, you are really suitable for this job, you really have a talent for acting." An Yifei said excitedly.

Meng Chao didn't expect that the first expression he made after the upgrade would make An Yifei so excited.

"If I really have the opportunity to make a living in this industry, I will have to thank you as my guide and enlightener." Meng Chao looked at An Yifei with sincere eyes.

"You're too kind. I'm still a novice and don't have much acting skills. In addition to hard work, talent is also important in acting." An Yifei said very modestly.

But he still felt a little proud in his heart, because Meng Chao said that he was his guide, which was not wrong.

And it was happening live, so everyone will remember this in the future.

When Meng Chao becomes famous in the film industry in the future, he will definitely mention this day.

Meng Chao smiled slightly, said nothing more, and continued to clean the rabbit in his hand.

While learning various expressions and gestures from An Yifei, he had already started to handle the hare.

A long time has passed. If the rabbit's stomach is not processed, it will swell up and the rabbit meat will become even more unpalatable.

He still used the same method as last time, after all, he was still reluctant to skin the rabbit.

[Food Processing Proficiency +1]
As soon as he finished dealing with the hare, Meng Chao gained some proficiency.

Then he put the processed rabbits back into the plastic box to soak.

The temperature of this mountain spring is relatively low, and it has a certain preservative effect.

Next, it’s time to deal with the snake.

Meng Chao directly used an engineering shovel to scrape off the snake scales, and he was reluctant to throw away the snake skin.

In eastern Guangdong, snake skin is also a delicious dish.

"Oppa, can't we just peel off the snake skin? Why are you scraping off its scales?" Lee Ji-eun asked in confusion.

The peninsula is a food desert, so it’s normal that people don’t know how to eat snake skin.

So Meng Chao smiled and explained: "Of course it's for eating. Snake skin can also be made into a delicious dish."

"Snake skin can be eaten?" An Yifei was also a little surprised.

However, she had never even eaten snake soup, so she found it a little unacceptable.

"Of course, it will taste better if you are willing to fry it." Meng Chao said with certainty, after all, he had eaten it before.

Fried?

That's too luxurious. This is the wilderness. The production team only gave us 200 ml, which is not enough to make a big explosion.

After scraping off the snake's scales, Meng Chao peeled off the snake's skin and then began to deal with the snake's belly, removing the internal organs and gallbladder.

[Food Processing Proficiency +1]
I have gained proficiency again, but it is not yet 10 points. I still need to work hard to obtain prey.

Put the processed snake and snake skin into a plastic box and cover it with a lid.

The box is still placed at the water source, allowing the mountain spring water to flush the box to cool it down.

"Okay, the ingredients have been prepared, it's time for us to do something else." With that, Meng Chao stood up and walked towards the camp.

"Are we going to start building the stone wall?" An Yifei asked directly.

"There's no rush. Let's go collect some palm bark first. We need something to pad the bed more than the stone wall." Meng Chao was more concerned about sleeping. After all, if you don't sleep well, you will feel tired all day and naturally you will have no mind or energy to work.

He could still bear it for a day or two, but if he couldn't sleep well for a long time, he would collapse. Meng Chao picked up the woven backpack and put it on his back.

Both girls had no objection to Meng Chao's decision.

"They haven't reached the beach yet? It's already 2:30 in the afternoon." Meng Chao showed concern for the two people.

"Yeah, judging from the comments, it's not here yet, but it should be soon. Some viewers said they heard the sound of waves." Lee Ji-eun reported the situation.

"Okay, as long as we can get there before dark, at least it won't be dangerous to spend the night at the beach." Meng Chao said with relief.

He felt that if he had gone there alone, he would have reached the beach long ago.

But it's good for both of them to go and get to know each other.

If the conflict escalates, that's fine, maybe one of them can be eliminated.

Meng Chao's original plan was to eliminate both of them and then refuse to join the others.

The program team mentioned this before the recording, and each group can refuse to allow substitutes to join the group and continue the challenge with reduced number of members.

He felt that based on the strength he had shown so far, it should not be difficult to convince An Yifei and Lee Ji-eun to refuse other people from joining the group.

"They shouldn't spend the night at the beach. They will definitely come back. There is no shelter at the beach, and they didn't bring the magnesium rods." When An Yifei heard Meng Chao say that, she felt that Meng Chao overestimated the two people.

They have no food to eat and no shelter to find. Can they accept sleeping in the open air?

They are artists who are used to a good life, unlike Meng Chao.

There is an old saying that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. This is very applicable to their situation.

Meng Chao did not defend Ma Dongxi and the others, but continued walking the same way he had walked in the morning.

"I'll try to find that place myself. Don't use your watches yet." Meng Chao reminded.

After all, it is not safe to leave the watch outside. If it is taken away by an animal, you will lose a piece of your watch.

An Yifei and Li Zhien both expressed their understanding and support for this. They silently followed Meng Chao with their javelins in their hands.

Because Meng Chao was carrying a backpack, the recurve bow was carried on An Yifei's body.

Twenty minutes later, Meng Chao, An Yifei and Li Zhien successfully found the place where the fan palm grew.

After arriving at the place, Meng Chao began to try to peel the palm bark.

Use a knife to scrape along the palm tree, and then you can peel off the palm bark.

[Plant material collection proficiency +1]
This is a new level of proficiency, different from the previous picking.

And you will gain proficiency by peeling one card, so it is very easy to get ten points.

"So this is how you peel the palm leaves. I've learned something new." An Yifei couldn't help but exclaimed.

She found that she could really learn a lot from Meng Chao.

"You didn't learn this specifically for writing a book, did you?" An Yifei looked at Meng Chao who was peeling the palm bark seriously, feeling a little skeptical.

Do I need to learn so much to write a wilderness novel?
Did the police and criminals he mentioned earlier also read a lot of information?
"Of course, wilderness survival covers a wide range of aspects. Moreover, I also like to watch this kind of videos. It is not only for learning, but also a form of entertainment." Meng Chao explained.

"Besides, I only had theories before, but now someone is finally paying me to put it into practice, which is pretty cool."

"It's worth it even if it's tiring, and I can also lose weight."

Hearing what Meng Chao said, An Yifei couldn't help but smile.

Being able to make money with your own interests is indeed a happy and blessed thing.
