Chapter 54 Drilling Wood for Fire
Chapter 54 Drilling wood for fire
Early the next morning, when Barka and Kalia got up, Barka practiced the bow and arrows and what a ranger would need. Kaliya prayed directly in the tent, communicating with the Light.
When Vane saw the two of them get up, he began to make the campfire and prepare for breakfast. There is also a half-frozen velociraptor thigh strip of meat, so you don't need to barbecue in the morning. Instead, a little rice was put in a cauldron, and some mushrooms that Vane had picked from a few dead logs nearby brought back.
"Barka, you can find out if these mushrooms are poisonous." Vane walked back to camp towards Barka Road.
"Mushrooms?" Barka walked over and reached for a mushroom, then pressed it lightly with his hand, feeling that the mushrooms were very fragile. Knowing that Vane was still waiting, he cast an arcane trick to detect whether the mushrooms Vane had picked were poisonous. He picked out the poisonous mushrooms and threw them away, carried the rest to Vane's side and said, "Okay, these are non-poisonous mushrooms." β
"Hmm. You go and practice. Vane looked at the mushrooms that Barka had put down, then nodded to Barka.
However, instead of going back to practice, Barka stood aside and asked Vane, "Vane, what are we going to eat in the morning?" β
"Porridge is made with mushrooms and minced meat, as well as rice, and we drink porridge in the morning." Vane replied unwillingly.
"Porridge?" Barka was stunned, as the High Elves had never cooked this before, and normally, they either ate the fruit directly or threw it into the pot and cooked it. Something like rice is generally only available to orphans and high elves who can't make money to get it for free to sustain themselves. Therefore, these rice noodles are considered to be eaten by lower creatures, and no one in the ordinary high elves will eat these things.
"That's right, don't you think you shouldn't eat something like rice?" Vane knew what was going on with Quel'Thalas, so he was ready to explain it to Barka.
"I don't have a problem with eating rice, as long as it tastes good, I can eat anything." Barka's answer was unexpected, but it was the answer that a foodie should have.
Not long after, the smell of the pot came out, and even Walker and Wanderer, who were sleeping, smelled the fragrance in a daze. After a while, I opened my eyes and woke up.
"Water, give me water." As soon as Walker came to his senses, he immediately shouted. At this time, his mouth was so dry that he suspected that if he didn't drink water, he would definitely die.
Vane heard Walker's somewhat hoarse voice and immediately handed over the water bladder. Walker snatched a burst of 'Knock Knock' and drank it until all the water in the water bladder was gone.
"Whewββ, I'm glad I have water to drink, otherwise I'd have died. It's the first time I've felt so uncomfortable when I open my eyes. Walker said, putting down the water bladder and sitting on the ground.
"It's normal, who made you eat so many chili peppers yesterday." Vane said with a shrug.
"Does it have anything to do with those peppers?" Walker was stunned for a moment when he heard Vane's words, and then said, "I knew I wouldn't eat so much if I knew this." β
"I warned you yesterday, who told you not to listen." Vane looked at the porridge in the pot and said.
"Okay, I'll admit I didn't pay attention to your words yesterday, but it's the first time I've felt so uncomfortable." Walker patted his stomach and asked Vaane, "What are you cooking?" Why does it smell so good? β
"It's just porridge with minced meat and rice and some non-poisonous mushrooms." Hearing Walker's question, Vane replied.
"Aren't you alright? I really want to drink it right away. Walker asked, staring at the pot.
"It's not just you want to drink it right away, look at the one over there." Vane kept an eye on the pot to keep the pot out of his mouth as he pointed to Barka, who was looking over from time to time, and said to Walker.
"It turned out to be this kid Balka, it seems that this pot thing is really good." Walker followed Vane's finger to look at Barka's constant look, and immediately turned back to Vane with a grin.
"Alright, it's already possible." Vane scooped the meat out of the pot with a spoon and shouted when he found it all cooked.
"Oh, yes." When Walker heard this, he immediately found a bowl and scooped a large bowl full of it with a spoon.
Barka had been paying attention to this side for a long time, and when he saw Walker's movements, he didn't say a word, threw down the bow and arrow in his hand, and ran over in a few steps. When Walker finished scooping, he took the spoon and scooped himself a large bowl.
Vane took advantage of the two of them scooping porridge and went back to the tent and called Kalia out for breakfast together.
After they had finished their breakfast, Vane began to fulfill his promise and give Walker the means to drill wood for fire. Beside him, Barka and Kalia also squatted there watching Vane's movements, listening to Vane's explanation.
"The first thing to do is to find a dry plank with a dent to come out, and two straight sticks. Prepare a strip of cloth. Finally, there's some flammable grass velvet and stuff like that. Wayne explained, "Sharpen one end of one of the sticks, and then make a small bow out of strips of cloth and the other. Make a loop of cloth that is the bowstring of a small bow, and a sharpened stick is passed through it. Put the sharpened end against the dent of the board, then hold down the stick and start pulling the bow back and forth, so that the sharpened stick will continue to rotate, and soon smoke will rise. β
"Ah, I see." Walker watched as the tip of the stick Vane pressed began to smoke, and shouted, "It must have been pulling back and forth so fast until it caught fire." β
Barka listened to Walker's words and kept nodding his head from the sidelines. Only Kalia looked at Vane with her eyes.
After listening to Walker's words, Vane shook his head and said, "No, it's not like that, I don't know if it will ignite this stick if it goes on all the time, but there is no doubt that it will be a waste of energy." β
"If that's not the case, then what?" Barka asked unconvinced after hearing Vane's negative words.
"In fact, you should take some easy-to-light grass wool to light the fire, and then add small sticks that are easier to burn little by little until the flame is strong." Vane ignored Barka's unconvinced look and went straight to making the right moves. I saw him approach the place where the sticks smoked with straw wool, and then blow and blow softly with his mouth. Suddenly, the grass velvet was burning. Then Vane put the grass down in the prepared place, quickly added more grass down, and slowly began to add small sticks. It wasn't until a moment later that a bonfire was lit.
Seeing this, the three of them understood what to do, and Barka's originally unconvinced expression faded, scratching the back of his head with a look of regret for guessing the wrong result......
