Start by trimming cow hooves

It seems to be a relatively leisurely day.

But from morning to night, you will be exposed to countless information, and it is difficult to completely get rid of countless trivial matters.

It is different in this wilderness next to the Great Slave Lake in Canada. Suri only needs to focus on how to survive and improve the quality of life as much as possible.

When he saw the mother bear on the other side of the river, he immediately took out the bear repellent buzzer and bear repellent spray, and was ready to escape at any time.

Unlike Paddington Bear on Lanai Island.

The brown bear named Paddington grew up with humans since childhood, and his wildness has long been worn out.

And encountering wild bears with cubs in the wild will be particularly dangerous, not to mention that they are protected by local laws and are not on the list of huntable animals. The bow and arrows that Suri carries with him are useless and can only be used to protect himself.

Fortunately, after shaking the piercing bear bell, three bears, one big and two small, quickly went into the forest. Su Rui held a portable video recorder and waited patiently for a while. He told me that it might be because there was no shortage of food in this season, so they did not show too strong aggression.

While he was still strong and the water temperature was barely acceptable, he put the portable camera on a stone and began to build a dam.

The plan was to block both sides with stones, leaving only a gap in the middle of the stream, and then use a fish net or fish basket to collect freshwater fish and wait for them to come to the door along the water flow.

This traditional fishing method is still widely used all over the world, but unfortunately he did not find bamboo around and did not know how to make fish baskets with bamboo strips.

After eating instant noodles in the morning, Su Rui did not bring any food.

Usually, he did not think it was a big deal. He could eat whenever he wanted. Although he was not hungry at this time, he already had a strong sense of urgency. He did not want to sleep with an empty stomach on the first day he came here.

Because there were bears around the place where he lived, Su Rui returned to the camp after only building a two- to three-meter-long dam and completing about one-tenth of the entire project.

Because in addition to building temporary tents and looking for food, he also had to set up some warning devices around in advance, so as not to wait for brown bears to come to him before discovering these dangerous big guys.

Of course.

Compared with other contestants, Su Rui was quite confident. He would definitely put a submachine gun filled with 25 rounds of bullets next to his sleeping bag when he went to bed at night.

When the time came, as long as he aimed at the right position, not to mention a mere brown bear, even an elephant would not be able to withstand it.

When he went out before, he didn't know that there were bears around. Next time he went to stroll around the camp, he would certainly not continue to take it lightly. The safety was very guaranteed, so there was no need to worry too much.

Return to the camp and rest for a few minutes.

Su Rui began to collect wood for fire, intending to burn some charcoal first, which could be used for brushing teeth and absorbing impurities in water.

On the other hand, he had never used flint, so he needed to practice in advance to avoid waiting until dark to stare.

The process of making a fire went more smoothly than expected.

When the bonfire was burning, Su Rui took a multifunctional saw that could be used as a knife and went to cut a few small trees nearby to serve as sticks to support the waterproof cloth.

He was quite satisfied with the location of the camp. Not only was the view relatively wide, but it was not far from the stream and the Great Slave Lake. There were also some dead wood around that could be used directly as firewood.

There were too many things to deal with, and while busy working, there was no time to think about anything else.

It can be seen that many of the distractions in his head were usually idle. Now Su Rui only needs to focus on physiological needs and safety needs.

His luck was really good.

During the tree felling, he encountered a snow chicken standing on a low tree to rest. Su Rui played with bows and arrows as a hobby, and shot an arrow, which just brushed the snow chicken's neck.

The fat snow chicken subconsciously spread its wings and flew away, and soon hit the tree again, fell into the bushes, and died completely after a while of fluttering.

Su Rui did not consider whether he would be scolded by extreme animal protectors and vegetarians again after the show was broadcast. He was just glad that he had a good meal tonight.

Carrying a few wooden sticks as thick as his wrist in one hand and a portable camera in the other, he hung the snow chicken upside down on his waist and returned to the camp happily.

Busy until the evening, he initially set up a temporary tent and used plastic bottles picked up from the lake to arrange it on the path that must be taken to the camp. As long as the animals stepped on it, it would make a lot of noise.

Other time.

Su Rui was busy fetching water and digging mud, and simply processed the captured snow chicken.

At this moment.

After tying the portable camera to the tree, Su Rui used a stone as a bench and bent over to mix the mud.

There was no socializing in this place, so he took a break from his busy schedule and said:

"Before I came here, I didn't expect that I would drink water filtered by socks. Of course, they were clean new socks with charcoal inside to act as a filter."

"There is an old saying in our Chinese culture that if you hold your urine, you can travel a thousand miles, but if you have diarrhea, you can't move an inch. There are many microorganisms and pathogens produced by plant decay in the forest. I don't want to have a stomachache. Boil the filtered water for about 10 minutes, and there should be no problem."

"You may want to know why I dig mud, and now I can explain the answer."

"There are three purposes."

"First, I try to find earthworms as bait for tomorrow's fishing. They twist at the bottom of the water, which makes it easier to attract fish."

"Second, I need mud to build a temporary bonfire to avoid burning myself and my supplies while I sleep."

"The third is to make a traditional Chinese delicacy called beggar's chicken. The correct method requires wrapping it with lotus leaves or tin foil, but I don't have those, so I can only make do with it temporarily."

After saying that.

Su Rui began to show how to scald the snow chicken with hot water, and then plucked the hair as much as possible bit by bit.

This is a very time-consuming task, but what he lacks the least now is time.

Until the hair is almost invisible, sprinkle some fine salt, wrap it with the leaves of some berries, and then mix pine needles with mud, apply it on the outside of the berry leaves, and finally pinch it into a ball, put it in the fire and wait patiently.

Most of the other contestants are still hungry, Su Rui has made food for himself, and I believe that when the show is broadcast online, the effect will definitely be explosive.

And countless Chinese restaurants around the world are probably going to follow suit and launch the dish of "Beggar's Chicken". After all, other dishes are just delicious, and the production process of Beggar's Chicken is particularly interesting, and it has the potential to become a popular delicacy.

It is not clear how long it should be roasted, so Su Rui roasted it for a while longer.

The flame of the campfire was neither too big nor too small. He used a multi-purpose saw to pick out the hard mud blocks from the charcoal pile until the flames were no longer visible.

Taking advantage of the cooling, Su Rui also tried the pure natural charcoal toothpaste in advance. The taste was not pleasant, but it was indeed very helpful for freshening breath.

After a lot of cleaning.

He finally faced the portable camera and cracked open the beggar chicken wrapped in mud. When he smelled the fragrant aroma, it meant that the dish was basically successful.

Although there were still many seasonings missing and there was no way to sprinkle some chili powder, it was much better than boiling chicken in plain water, and it also locked the fat of the snow chicken.

If it was roasted directly on the fire, the fat would only drip into the campfire, making the snow chicken meat dry.

According to Su Rui's method, even the oily chicken skin tasted very good. (End of this chapter)
