Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 54 Discovering Camellia Fruit (asking for monthly ticket)
"Now all I need is a knife that works well with me. A small curved knife is best for peeling palm bark."

"Fortunately, I kept the chisel head of this semi-finished product, otherwise I would have no use for it." Meng Chao said with some relief. After all, the engineer shovel is not suitable for peeling palm bark.

An Yifei looked at it for a while, then said, "Let's walk around the area. We can't help much with this matter."

"Okay, be careful." Meng Chao reminded.

He had already looked around the area and didn't find any traces of large animals.

Therefore, he felt that the safety of this island should be guaranteed and there would not be any ferocious beasts such as leopards, tigers, and black bears.

An Yifei and Li Zhien took the modified javelins and explored carefully.

They had tried to build a stone wall in the morning and found that it was not something they were capable of.

Even if I have a pair of gloves now, I don’t have the physical fitness and strength. This is determined by my physiological factors.

Exploring the environment and finding edible plants is a relatively easy task and they can do it.

With a watch, you don’t have to worry about getting lost, even if your sense of direction is poor.

Moreover, finding food in the jungle is a matter of luck and has little to do with personal ability.

As long as you can identify plants and know what is edible, you can do this task.

After the two walked for a distance, they decided to explore in different directions and meet up every ten minutes.

This can improve efficiency and expand the scope of exploration.

"Yifei, come quickly, there are a lot of wild shepherd's purse here." After making the discovery, Lee Ji-eun immediately shouted.

"Audience, this should be wild shepherd's purse, the kind I found yesterday evening." Lee Ji-eun squatted down, pointed at a wild shepherd's purse and looked at the ball.

Under Meng Chao's leadership, she has learned to occasionally interact with the audience remotely.

Especially when you are alone, you feel that you have fans by your side, which reduces your fear a lot.

After taking a look at her wrist, she was relieved to see that many people said it was wild shepherd's purse.

"These wild shepherd's purse are growing well, much bigger than what we found yesterday. We should be able to pick some and bring them back to enrich our diet."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on Li Zhien's face.

Her group is living a pretty good life thanks to Meng Chao.

There is no need to worry about food in the evening, as there are rabbits, snakes, and yams.

I can go pick yam eggs tomorrow and dig out the remaining yams, so I don’t have to worry about food for a few days.

In comparison, the other two groups were much worse off. It was already the second day, and they still hadn't had a full meal.

A few minutes later, An Yifei arrived.

"It really is wild shepherd's purse, exactly the same as what you found yesterday evening. It's really nice." An Yifei squatted down and took a look. She also eats wild shepherd's purse usually, so she could still recognize it.

"And there's a small piece, like a small vegetable garden. It can feed more than ten meals, right?"

Hearing what An Yifei said, Li Zhien couldn't help but have an idea, so she said excitedly: "Let's ask Oppa later to see if we can open up a small vegetable garden near the camp and plant these shepherd's purse next to the camp."

"After all, we need to stay here for thirty days and we need these vegetables."

An Yifei nodded in approval, thinking that this suggestion was quite reliable. "With Meng Chao's knowledge, he should know how to cultivate vegetable fields and grow vegetables. I think we can give it a try. If we can grow vegetables, it will definitely be easier and more stable than searching for them in the jungle."

"Yeah, Oppa will definitely understand." Lee Ji-eun nodded vigorously. She now has a mysterious trust in Meng Chao and feels that he can handle anything.

She felt that even if she didn't know how to do it, Meng Chao would be able to figure it out quickly with his intelligence.

The two chatted for a while, and then continued exploring, hoping to find more good things.

The two of them stopped and rested, and two hours passed by unknowingly.

Walking in the mountains is very physically demanding, as many areas are uneven and you often have to climb uphill.

At the agreed time, the two of them reunited and returned to Meng Chao.

When he came back, Meng Chao had already peeled off two bundles of brown clothes.

"You're back. Did you get anything?" Meng Chao had been busy and had no time to check his watch, so he didn't know what was going on with them.

"Yes, we found a field of wild shepherd's purse, enough for us to eat for several days. We also found some wild fruits, but we're not sure if they are edible." As she said that, An Yifei handed a few wild fruits to Meng Chao.

Several fruits are of the same species, one has red skin, the others are green.

When he got the fruit, Meng Chao had the answer in his mind. This fruit was most likely a camellia fruit.

However, in order to confirm his answer, Meng Chao directly peeled the fruit.

After peeling it open, the inside was black, so he smiled.

"You have done a great job. This is the fruit of the camellia or oleifera tree, which can be used to extract oil. It is known as the oriental olive oil. It is one of the four major woody edible oil plants along with oil palm, olive and coconut."

"Are there many fruits? If there are a lot, we can collect them. The black hard shell can also be made into activated carbon."

"The leaves can be burned into powder and mixed with fruit residue to wash your hair. In addition, tea trees are hardwoods, which are very good for making knife handles and slingshots."

An Yifei couldn't help but blink, impressed by Meng Chao's erudition: "You are amazing, you know so much."

"Oppa is so awesome, and he has so many uses, he's very helpful to us." Lee Ji-eun also looked at Meng Chao with admiration.

The program team blocked and screened the content of the barrage, so they could not get answers from the barrage.

“There are two trees with a lot of fruits. We couldn’t take them back, so we didn’t pick them. However, we learned from you to mark them, so we should be able to find the place by following the marks.” An Yifei regretted not leaving her watch behind.

The main reason was that I didn’t know whether those fruits were edible, and I couldn’t get any useful information from the barrage, so I used the simplest method.

After all, if it has no value, there is no need to make another trip.

"That's good. We'll definitely be able to find it after marking it." Meng Chao smiled slightly and approved of their approach.

"Let's go back to the camp first. They should be back by now." As he said that, Meng Chao picked up two bundles of brown skins with a wooden stick.

With these brown skins, they can sleep more comfortably at night.

Hearing Meng Chao mention Ma Dongxi and Cai Fankun, An Yifei couldn't help but shook her head and said, "It seems that they haven't reached the beach yet. They said that there are only cliffs and they can't find a good way to the beach."

"The two of them turned back half an hour ago and decided to find a route to the beach tomorrow."
