Because the chicken called flower cooked by Yan'er is really delicious, and the two of them are really hungry after a busy morning, a big pheasant weighing three or four catties is eaten clean in a blink of an eye, and only some fragments of bones remain.

At this time, Yan'er couldn't wait to knock on another big mud ball, that is, "called Flower Rabbit", with the cracking of the outer layer of mud, the tender and fragrant rabbit meat inside was immediately revealed.

Yan'er wrinkled her nose and sniffed, and said with some surprise: "Huh, I didn't expect the flower rabbit to be so fragrant...... I'm also worried that cooking a rabbit in the same way as a chicken will be indecent. ”

Chen Zhe said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yan'er, you have to have confidence in your cooking skills." ”

Of course, it was actually Chen Zhe's item upgrade system that played a role.

As long as there is a systematic escort, Yan'er can make a three-star Michelin meal with her eyes closed.

The two of them quickly tore the rabbit meat and ate it, the taste of "called flower rabbit" is not the same as that of called flower chicken, the taste of rabbit meat is more mellow, and it tastes more chewy.

However, different flavors just make this lunch more layered, and eating chicken and then rabbit meat is a different kind of satisfaction.

After lunch, Chen Zhe and Yan'er lay comfortably on the stone slab next to the bonfire, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, and fell into a short reverie.

Yan'er stretched her waist and couldn't help but sigh: "Life is really moist now, there is meat to eat every meal, and life is very comfortable, no one disturbs ......"

"Yes. Chen Zhe deeply agreed, nodded and said, "Maybe this is the seclusion in the mountains and forests." ”

"Hmm......" Yan'er responded softly, recalling the busy days of working in the city and working as a waiter in a coffee shop every day, and then said sincerely, "Compared to living in the city, I still like to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, without having to deal with many people, although I am physically tired, but mentally very relaxed." ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhe also felt the same way.

Life on the island is challenging, with daily physical activity, but the advantage is that the relationships are simple and there is no intrigue in human society.

There is only one kind and lovely Yan'er who accompanies him, and in fact, this life is already very happy.

But then Yan'er suddenly added: "It would be better if there were no wolves on the island, and I will still be afraid when I think of wolves." ”

Chen Zhe smiled when he heard this, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, we already have a crossbow now, and I will start building a fortification in the afternoon, so that we will not be afraid of wolves at all." ”

"Really?" Yan'er was full of joy and asked again, "By the way, Brother Xiao Chen, you haven't told me what the fortifications are?"

Chen Zhe still didn't answer her, but said mysteriously: "You'll know when you see it." ”

......

After a brief rest after the meal, Chen Zhe set off with his blood-drinking knife.

Leaving the camp and walking along the overgrown path on the island towards the rubber grove, his mission this time was to chop wood, a lot of wood.

Because it is located in the tropics, the growth rate of plants on the island is very fast, for example, the cherry tomato plant in Chen Zhe's small yard has been watered after transplanting overnight, and now the branches and leaves have begun to stand up.

Another example is the shrubs and weeds on the road leading to the rubber forest, which were just cut down and uprooted by Chen Zhe and Yan'er a few days ago, and then stepped out of a path with two pairs of feet.

Originally, the path was almost unrecognizable, and only a closer look could reveal the traces of the original, and in a few days, it would be back to the state that no one had ever visited.

Chen Zhe could only carry the blood-drinking knife to open the road again, cutting down the shrubs, branches, vines and weeds that blocked traffic on the road.

In addition, chopping weeds can also have the effect of striking grass and startling snakes, otherwise snakes or poisonous insects lurking in the grass are likely to attack Chen Zhe unexpectedly.

It took half an hour of work, Chen Zhe finally came all the way from the camp to the rubber forest, several rubber trees near the camp have been cut down by Chen Zhe to build cabins and fences, and the trees in the distance are still intact.

It was still early, Chen Zhe was not in a hurry to start cutting down the tree, he looked around the rubber forest, looking for any new treasures.

The rubber forest area is lush with vegetation, and the jungle is full of colorful and exotic plants, and Chen Zhe firmly believes that as long as he looks carefully, he will always find something.

The hard work paid off, and after he carried the blood-drinking knife to cut through a thorn, he found that there were some crimson fruits scattered in the grass, these fruits were small and stiff, like red mini fingers pointing to the sky, and they immediately attracted Chen Zhe's attention because of their bright colors.

"Let me see what good stuff this is......"

Chen Zhe muttered to himself as he cut through the weeds and approached the red fruits.

At the same time, the system has automatically identified the type of fruit in this category:

[Item detected: A ripe wild pepper.] 】

[Item current durability: 130/130.] 】

[Item value: 7.6 yuan.] 】

[Do you spend 20 popularity points to upgrade items?]

"It turned out to be wild pepper. ”

Chen Zhe suddenly realized.

Wild pepper, commonly known as Chaotian pepper and Zhitian pepper, is an extremely common wild pepper in the tropics, and it is also one of the oldest varieties of pepper.

Chili pepper is rich in vitamin C, vitamin B, carotene and other nutrients, and it is also an unobtainable ingredient for concocting deliciousness.

"I didn't expect there to be wild pepper ...... in the rubber forest"

Chen Zhe was surprised with a hint of joy,

"When I go back in the evening, I transplant two peppers, so that the cherry tomatoes in the yard are not lonely, and in the future, when Yan'er cooks, she can pair them with one or two wild peppers, and the taste of the food can be richer." ”

Thinking of this, he made a firm note of the location of the wild pepper, and then turned back to the rubber tree to cut wood.

Just digested the flower chicken and the flower rabbit, Chen Zhe's body was full of strength, and the sharp blood-drinking knife drew a full arc in the air, and then slashed heavily on the trunk.

The sturdy rubber tree was quickly cut open, and the thick trunk fell straight to the ground, and Chen Zhe waved his knife to cut off the excess branches, and then dragged the wood back to the camp.

After three or four rounds of work, the courtyard of the camp was filled with rubberwood.

This time he had cut down no less timber than he had when he had put up the fence, apparently planning a big project.

Seeing the complete timber in the yard, Yan'er's little face was full of doubts - what kind of "fortification" did Brother Xiao Chen talk about?
