Chapter 191: Everyday Pretending
Looking at the ridicule of the audience in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan's face was full of helplessness. Fortunately, the material of the igloo was only snow, not cement or wood, and pouting, he crouched down like a marmot, dug a passage in the snow, and then got into the igloo.
Pointing to the passage at the door, Ye Xuan said, "Because of the sinking of cold air, this passage can exclude the cold air in the igloo and allow the heat to be convection. Alright, now that the shelter is set up, I'm going to gather as much firewood as I can so I can get a good night's sleep. β
At this time, the sky has begun to gradually darken. Countless stars twinkle in the night, and on the western horizon, there is a faint green aurora flowing, coupled with pure white snow, the beauty is breathtaking.
However, Ye Xuan was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery now, his mind was now full of warm bonfires and steaming fish soup.
In a few moments, he had gathered a large pile of firewood, enough to use until dawn.
After carrying all the firewood into the igloo, he walked quickly to the fishing hole in the lake to check if any fish had been hooked.
Squatting next to the fishing hole, as soon as I pulled the rope, I felt a struggle under the water. This made Ye Xuan suddenly happy, and the movements in his hands sped up, and he pulled the fishing line up in a few clicks. I saw a fish about 20 centimeters long hanging on the hook. The fish was not lightweight, but luckily the hole was dug large enough, otherwise it would have stuck under the ice.
After taking out the dagger and directly piercing the fish's brain, Ye Xuan held it up in front of the live broadcast camera and smiled happily: "This is a rainbow trout, you can see that on the side of this fish's body, there is a long pink spot." Finally able to eat the hot fish soup, let's go back. β
Back at the igloo with the rainbow trout and shoelaces, he skillfully lit the bonfire again.
Looking at the bonfire in front of him, Ye Xuan showed a heartfelt smile. Putting his hands on the campfire and feeling the warmth he hadn't felt for a long time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's so easy to be satisfied, and now with this bonfire, I can't ask for anything else. This kind of life experience makes it easy for me to look back and wake up immediately when I get lost in my eyes to desire. Survival in the wilderness is not only a survival, but also a spiritual experience. Every time, I will have a huge gain. β
Feeling that his hands had regained their former flexibility, Ye Xuan's voice changed and he said with a smile: "Okay, after all this useless nonsense, my hands have finally regained their flexibility." Now I'm going to deal with this rainbow trout, go to TM's satisfaction, I'm starving to death without food for two days. β
Ye Xuan's routine once again made the audience in the live broadcast room take precautions and launch a barrage one after another.
"What is true of Nyima is that life is endless, and the routine is endless. β
"Okay, okay, I'll take it, can't I take it?"
"Fake, if you don't do it, we'll die!"
"The show is still the patriarch show. β
"666, it seems that I am still too naΓ―ve. β
"What else can I be? I am willing to gamble and lose, and the gifts will go. β
"The patriarch deserves to be the patriarch, and routines are everywhere. β
"In the future, I won't be able to look directly at Chicken Soup for the Soul...."
Glancing at the barrage, Ye Xuan smiled, and at the same time, his hand was not slow, after taking off the coat of the kettle, he grabbed the snow on the wall and stuffed it, put it on the bonfire, and then began to deal with the rainbow trout.
After removing the internal organs, Ye Xuan cut the fish into small pieces, and the head and tail of the fish were not wasted, and finally threw them all into a small pot. Watching the small pot gradually emit water vapor under the licking of the campfire, he said to the live camera: "Rainbow trout is a specialty fish of Alaska, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation. β
It would take some time for the fish soup to cook, so Ye Xuan simply took off his shoes and put his feet by the campfire. Since yesterday morning, his feet have been in a cold state, and sometimes he even feels like he has lost sensation in his feet completely. It wasn't until this moment that his feet felt warm again.
At this moment, the sky outside has completely darkened, and the temperature has dropped suddenly.
This is the case in the Arctic Circle's winters, where once the sunlight disappears, the temperature plummets at an exaggerated rate.
However, Ye Xuan felt extremely warm at the moment, and under the baking of the bonfire, the whole person was warm. He put his watch in front of the camera, pointed to the temperature value on it and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you see? When I was outside just now, the temperature showed that it was minus 25 degrees Celsius, but now it is only minus 5 degrees, and as the bonfire continues to burn, the temperature inside the igloo will slowly rise, and eventually stay around zero." β
"Seeing that many viewers expressed doubts, let me explain. It's possible to make a fire inside an igloo, and it's not like you might think, and it will melt the entire igloo. The principle is actually very simple, first of all, the campfire will increase the temperature in the igloo, and when it exceeds freezing, the snow on the surface will melt. However, snow and ice do not conduct heat at all, so the low temperature outside will cause the melted snow to solidify into a smooth ice shell. β
Pointing to the vent on the roof above, Ye Xuan said, "In addition, I have reserved a vent above. According to the principle of hot air rising, the excess heat generated by the campfire will be emitted from this vent, so the temperature of the igloo will always remain below 0 degrees Celsius and will not exceed zero degrees. β
After listening to his explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly shouted that they had learned, and swiped the full screen of 666.
In the forest line outside the Arctic Circle, in an igloo, there is a faint yellow fire.
Ye Xuan sat by the campfire, quietly staring at the small pot that was constantly steaming. In the silence of the night, only the crackling sound of the campfire could be heard.
Staring blankly at the cauldron, his head was blank at the moment. I didn't think about anything, and it was an amazing feeling.
"Goo~"
At this time, the sound of protest from the stomach broke the rare atmosphere. Ye Xuan came back to his senses and found that the water in the small pot had begun to boil, and bursts of fragrance filled the air with the water vapor.
Remove the small pot from the campfire and let it cool on the snow and wait a little longer. He carefully picked it up and took a sip. The hot fish soup runs down my throat and into my stomach, and the refreshing feeling is indescribable. A person who has been starved for two days in an environment of minus 20 degrees Celsius can drink a hot fish soup is simply the highest enjoyment.
"Ahh
With a long sigh of relief, Ye Xuan felt that he had nothing else to ask for now. After breaking two thin branches to serve as chopsticks, he picked up a piece of steaming fish meat, and then he couldn't wait to stuff it directly into his mouth. Swallow it with a few quick chews, then start eating the second piece.
This rainbow trout is not big, and it will be eaten after a while, Ye Xuan sighed at the live broadcast camera: "To be honest, I used to hate eating freshwater fish very much. But many times, what you hate, can save your life. This bowl of fishy fish soup brought me back to life completely. I've eaten a lot of delicacies, such as king crab from Alaska and lamb chops from Australia, but none of these delicacies are as delicious as this bowl of fish soup. Survival, giving it an unbeatable taste!"
"Hey, I'm so angry!
"People, if you don't pretend to be forced, what's the difference between that and salted fish?"
"The patriarch is now pretending to be forced on his left side and his right hand, and he is playing with great energy. β
"2333, on pretending to force me to serve only the patriarch. β
I just smiled and didn't speak. β
"Nima, I don't know where the patriarch got so much chicken soup for the soul. β
"Pretending to be forced every day, the ending is already doomed. β
A small pot of fish soup went down, and Ye Xuan suddenly felt warm in his body. Laying a layer on the ground with extra branches, Ye Xuan lay on it, feeling the temperature from the bonfire, and said to the live camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's live broadcast is over here. Each goes back to his own house, and each finds his own mother. I didn't sleep at all last night, I'm so sleepy and need a good rest, we'll see you tomorrow. β
After turning off the live broadcast, putting away the aerial photography drone, Ye Xuan pillowed his backpack on his head and closed his eyes.
Bonfires to keep the entire igloo around freezing. In just a few minutes, Ye Xuan let out a slight snoring sound.
Early morning.
Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the bonfire that had been extinguished. He slept fairly well last night, and although the campfire went out a few times halfway through, he woke up to refill the firewood, but it was much better than what happened in the snow cave one night.
Sitting up slowly, Ye Xuan stretched his waist and crawled out of the igloo. The oncoming cold wind suddenly made him shiver.
After putting on gloves and sunglasses, follow the slopes all the way to the lake to check if you have caught any of the lines left over from last night. When I pulled the line up, I found that there were no more bugs on the hook, but there were no fish. Ye Xuan pursed his lips and said, "The bait was eaten, but it was not baited." This is supposed to be dried by lampreys, which have very slender mouths and cannot swallow bait directly, so they will peck little by little. It's a pity that there is no fish soup to eat for breakfast today. β
