Under Chen Zhe's methodical command, the girls immediately entered the intensive production work.

The two sisters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, worked hard to carry the emerald green bamboo from the ground, and then carried the bamboo to the bonfire with great difficulty.

To make a bamboo raft, each selected bamboo should not be too thin or too short, Chen Zhe selected six or seven meters long bamboo is actually the most suitable length, and the thickness is also moderate, but such a bamboo itself is very weighty, plus the bamboo in the rainy season is full of water, the weight is even heavier and scary.

"Oh, it's so heavy...... Xiao Qiao weighed the bamboo in his hand, frowned and said, "How did Chen Zhe get such a thick bamboo back, we can't stand it if it's too thick." ”

"No way, after all, it's meant to be a means of transportation. Da Qiao said, "You just hold on, come, let's work together." ”

With that, the sisters worked together to lift the first bamboo, and the next thing was to use a campfire to evenly bake the surface of the bamboo.

The bamboo gradually bent under the scorching flames, and soon the head at the end of the bamboo was slightly raised, like a snake with its head raised in search of food.

"It worked!"

This is the first time Xiao Qiao has burned bamboo, and seeing the changes in bamboo makes her quite excited.

Da Qiao couldn't help but complain: "Of course it will be successful, this is not a difficult job, it's just a bamboo burn, look at you to get excited." ”

"Hey...... Burning bamboo is also a technical job. Xiao Qiao forcibly said.

While the big Qiao and little Qiao sisters were burning bamboo, Yan'er had already found a mature palm grove.

If you want to make a waterproof tent, palm bark is a tough material, and more importantly, the amount of palm bark is extremely large, which can be said to be everywhere in the rainforest, and it is inexhaustible, so Yan'er can use it generously.

Carrying a knife to peel off the bark of the palm tree, Yan'er soon returned with a full load, and she hung the palm bark still with water vapor on the branches of the banyan tree to dry, and waited until the water was dry before using it.

Before that, she needed to make the lining of the tent.

Palm bark alone could not make a complete tent, because there were still gaps between the palm barks, and she had to use animal skins to connect these palm skins, and fill the gaps between each palm bark with animal skins.

Fortunately, animal skins are also a very rich resource in Chen Zhe's camp, and only a very small part of them are made into animal clothes and wolf skin blankets.

……

Seeing that the girls were busy in their posts, Chen Zhe nodded with satisfaction.

He rested for a while, and when the fatigue of his arm muscles subsided, he went to the bamboo forest again with a blood-drinking knife to cut bamboo.

Seven or eight bamboos are enough for a small bamboo raft, and about eleven or twelve bamboos are needed for a large bamboo raft.

Chen Zhe didn't need to make a large bamboo raft, because the width of the river on the island itself was limited, and large bamboo rafts could not be navigated, so he finally cut down nine bamboos and called it a day with the loot.

After returning to the camp, Big Joe and Little Joe had already finished baking all the bamboo from before.

The ends of these bamboos are upturned as they are baked, and they naturally form the shape of a sailing ship.

Chen Zhe nodded with satisfaction and said approvingly: "It's very good, the arc is just right, and there is no flaw in every one." ”

Hearing Chen Zhe's praise, the two sisters were quite happy in their hearts.

Xiao Qiao even directly sold himself and boasted: "The craftsmanship of our old Qiao family is absolutely guaranteed, Boss Chen, you can rest assured!"

Da Qiao pointed to the bamboo that Chen Zhe had just carried back and asked, "Chen Zhe, have we also baked these bamboos for you?"

"Okay, good work. Chen Zhe replied with a smile, and then handed the bamboos to the sisters one by one.

And in the process of handover, Xiao Qiao suddenly pointed to one of the bamboos that was not so thick and not so long and asked: "Huh, Chen Zhe, are you cutting it by mistake? The other bamboos are about the same thickness and length, why is this bamboo so thin and short, this is tied to other bamboos, it doesn't match......

Before Chen Zhe could explain, Da Qiao couldn't help but knock on his stupid sister's head and complained: "Fool, that's not for building a bamboo raft, it's a penny!"

"Penny, what penny?" asked Little Joe with a wink.

"It's the stick used to support the bamboo raft, and when you see other people supporting the bamboo raft, the propulsion equipment used by the boatman can also control the direction and so on...... Do you have any impressions?" asked Big Joe speechlessly.

is a stupid sister, but she really lacks common sense in life.

It wasn't until he listened to his sister's explanation that Xiao Qiao suddenly realized that he had made himself laugh stupidly.

"Penny...... Hahaha...... I know, Penny! Of course I do! How could I not know?"

However, Da Qiao and Chen Zhe looked at her with a caring and mentally disabled expression, what did she know, she didn't know before.

When Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao finished baking the rest of the bamboo, Chen Zhe began to make the bamboo raft.

There are two types of rope used to tie the raft – one is the nearby vine, which has the advantage of being relatively tough and very wear-resistant, and the disadvantage is that it is too thick and cannot be used in some places where it needs to be delicately tied.

This is where a second type of rope comes in, a rope made of palm bark.

Palm bark is very tough and can be kneaded into a slender rope without breaking, Chen Zhe kneaded palm bark into ropes and simply processed it with the item upgrade system, so that it can come in handy when delicate binding is needed.

Because it is to be sailed directly into the river, the safety of the bamboo raft must be guaranteed, Chen Zhe tied it back and forth seven or eight times, and he still felt unsteady in his heart.

In the end, simply stared at the bamboo raft and used the system to verify the quality of the bamboo raft.

After a few seconds, the system gives a prompt:

[Item detected: A bamboo raft that may fall apart at any time.] 】

"Nima!"

Chen Zhe couldn't help but burst out in his heart.

A bamboo raft that may fall apart at any time? Who would dare to sit on it!

What if one day I happily sat on a bamboo raft to make salt, but the bamboo raft suddenly fell apart in the middle of the voyage, and I didn't succeed in making salt, not to mention, I had to fall into the river and become a water dog?

This is not the most unlucky, the most unfortunate thing is that after the success of salt production, when he came back from the bamboo raft, he fell apart, and when the time came, even the people with salt fell into the river, and the people were drowned and the salt was gone, so that was the emptiness of people and money......

"No, no, no, I've got to upgrade this thing. ”

Chen Zhe secretly made up his mind.

But when I looked up, the two sisters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, were still standing next to them and watching with great interest.

"Chen Zhe, is your bamboo raft finished? Big Joe said.

"There is also our sweat and credit in this bamboo raft. Little Joe said with a smile.

Chen Zhe smiled and nodded, but in his heart he was trying to find a way to take these two witnesses away.

"What's that...... You go to the tree house to see how Yan'er's tent is sewn, Yan'er is so skillful, sewing a tent must be much better than me building a bamboo raft. ”

Chen Zhe said,

"And see if she needs your help. ”

"Okay. Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao didn't realize that this was Chen Zhe's "insidious" scheme, so he turned around and climbed up the tree house without doubt.

The camera brother followed the people, and since the two beautiful girls had already left, he naturally had no reason to stay and shoot Chen Zhe, a rough man.

When all the onlookers retreated, Chen Zhe began to unscrupulously upgrade the bamboo raft.

The first upgrade requires a lot of popularity, and it actually costs a full 80 points.

It may be that the bamboo raft is too large, so it is also more resource-intensive.

But there is no way, this is a life-threatening thing, no matter how expensive it is, you have to grit your teeth and upgrade.

"Level up!"

Chen Zhe threw out 80 popularity points without hesitation, and then the bamboo raft changed.

[A bamboo raft that may fall apart at any time] - Upgrade - [A bamboo raft that is not too strong].

Seeing this, Chen Zhe pursed his lips.

"It's not too strong, it's not good...... It doesn't seem to be much better than falling apart at any time......"

"No, we still have to keep upgrading. ”

The second upgrade requires more popularity, up to 120 points.

However, Chen Zhe has accumulated a lot of popularity in the background now, and it can be said that he is wealthy, of course he doesn't care about this star.

Continue to upgrade.

[A bamboo raft that is not too strong]—Upgrade—[A bamboo raft of average quality].

Chen Zhe is still not satisfied, as the saying goes, "be careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years"!

Keep upgrading!

[A bamboo raft of ordinary quality]—Upgrade—[A bamboo raft that lasts for a long time].

Seeing this, Chen Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Durable, this word sounds very down-to-earth, at least it won't fall apart halfway and pit me into the river......"

Looking down at the splicing of the bamboo raft again, I saw that the bamboo was still the same bamboo, and the tree vine was still the same tree vine, but the way of binding and the arrangement of the bamboo became more compact, and it did look much stronger than just now.

Chen Zhe nodded with satisfaction, put down the work in his hand, and turned around and walked towards the tree house.

After getting the bamboo raft, the next step is to see how Yan'er's tent is sewn.

……

Chen Zhe's bamboo raft is a joint effort of three people, and the progress is naturally faster, while the tent has always been made by Yan'er alone, so the progress is of course slow.

In addition, Yan'er is a patient girl who is always unhurried in her work, so at this time, the tent is just sewn out of an inner lining, and a large number of palm leaves have not yet had time to sew on.

However, although it is only these progresses, Chen Zhe can also see that the workmanship of this tent is quite fine.

He couldn't help but praise: "Yan'er, the specifications of this tent you made are too high, right?"

"So-so. Yan'er said with a smile, "Since it is made of animal skin, the workmanship must be finer, otherwise I am sorry for such expensive raw materials." ”

Chen Zhe couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, using wolf skin to sew tents, we are too extravagant." ”

Yan'er sewed while chatting with everyone, and after another half an hour, all the inner linings were sewn.

The rest of the task was to sew the palm bark into the lining to make a waterproof layer for the tent.

This part of the work requires everyone's cooperation, because the tent is large enough for four people to be responsible for each of them.

Yan'er methodically arranged the homework for the other three people, and everyone began to sew palm bark together, so that the work was immediately improved, and the tent was finished before nightfall.

Each of the four men carried a corner of the tent and gently pulled it up.

I saw that this tent made of animal skins and palm bark not only looked very beautiful and practical, but also had an indescribable majesty.

Since the main body contains elements of wolf skin, it looks like a ferocious beast at first glance.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but joke: "This tent must be domineering on the seaside, and ordinary animals dare not approach it." ”

Chen Zhe laughed and said, "I originally only planned to make this tent windproof and rainproof, if it can have the effect of dispersing fierce beasts, it will still be an unexpected gain." ”

And after making tents and bamboo rafts, all that is left is a sunny day.

As the saying goes: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." ”

Once the weather is cloudless, Chen Zhe can take a tent and salt shaker and take a bamboo raft all the way down the river to make salt on the beach.

At present, the sea salt in the camp can last for about three to five days, and Chen Zhe firmly believes that there will definitely be a sunny day in these three to five days.

God did not disappoint him, and after another two days of heavy rain, on the third day, the sunny day he had hoped for arrived.
