The newcomer called "Mosquito" has really good carpentry skills.

Lao Bai and Fang Chang took the steel bar as a ruler and compared the wooden planks that had not been sawed out for a long time, and he carried a saw alone, and divided it by two in three times to make a pile.

Not only that, but these planks also have buckle edges, which are easily put together to form a boxy hollow brick groove.

After a while, there were several molds for making bricks.

"You can't handle this wood, look at this...... It's almost mushrooms. The mosquito wiped his sweat, leaned the saw to the side, looked at Fang Chang and Lao Bai and asked, "Are these enough?" ”

"Enough, enough! Thanks, brother, great help! Lao Bai had a happy expression on his face and patted the mosquito on the shoulder.

The mosquito looked shy and laughed dryly.

"You're welcome! Just let me know if you need anything. ”

Lao Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Good! I remember, you're definitely welcome next time! ”

Mosquito: "......"

With the mold, it is much easier to make mud bricks.

Lao Bai and Fang Chang mixed a little water with the yellow mud collected from the river, kneaded it into a viscous mud and poured it into a mold, laid out a square shape on the ground, and then stuffed some charcoal in the middle gap, and plastered the surface of the mud bricks.

This is also the method that Lao Bai learned from the wilderness survival video.

When the first layer of bricks was almost dry, they switched directions and continued to stack the second layer, and so on, layer upon layer, until the stack of bricks was higher than their heads.

When it was done, Lao Bai carefully ignited the carbon in the brick stack, allowing the fire to start burning in the middle, and then gradually engulfing the entire brick stack.

"Can this thing be done?"

Looking at the "mud stack" with smoke wafting up, Fang Chang wiped the sweat on his forehead with his mud-covered arms, as if he had crawled out of a dung pit.

Lao Bai's image is not very good, and he has more soot than him, as if he has just climbed out of the coal kiln.

"Hell knows, I'll have to wait and see."

It's also the first time he's burned this thing, and when he was a child, he only watched the adults get it, so he didn't know if it worked.

Everything can only wait until tomorrow.

"Let's go, let's let it burn first."

"Let's go to the cement kiln and have a look, I feel that we are very close to the finished product. This time, use more strength to blast the wind, and strive to get a bucket out before going offline! ”

On the other hand, with the help of [WC True Mosquito], Tempest and Night Ten have finally completed the improvement of the Nth generation fish trap.

They replaced the original cylindrical structure with a cage-like structure, replaced the weak wooden strips with strong steel bars, and reinforcedly reinforced the main structure of the trap.

Don't care what kind of fish, don't think about leaving when you come in!

The three of them went to the lake together, intending to try again.

It looks like a joyous look.

As for Chu Guang's side, he was still pondering the technique of baconing.

Although there is still not much progress......

"Dear Administrator, what are you doing...... Do? ”

Hearing the sound from the side, Chu Guang stood up from the bacon rack, patted the carbon ash on his hand and looked to the side, only to see [scrambled eggs with tomatoes], looking at the bacon rack he made with curiosity.

If I'm not mistaken, this benevolent brother seems to be a chef who graduated from New Oriental?

Thinking of this, Chu Guang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I'm figuring out how to make bacon...... You're here just in time, from now on, you're the chef of Outpost 404! ”

Saying that, Chu Guang didn't give this player a chance to speak at all, and looked at him with a serious face and continued.

"We are now facing a very serious situation, in addition to the construction of facilities on the surface outpost, we also have to rush to stock up on enough food for the next hundred compatriots who will arrive on the surface before the onset of winter."

"I need your help!"

Scrambled eggs looked confused.

The chef was ok......

In reality, he is a chef, and he fried two dishes before handing the spoon to his colleague before going online, but he didn't expect to have to do his old job again in the game.

Is this the equivalent of a life player?

It took him a long time before he opened his mouth.

"Yes...... What can I do for you? ”

"That's a good question."

Chu Guang looked at the bacon rack on the side.

"I tried smoking meat, but it didn't work out well, and I need you to solve the problem of food storage...... I've read your profile and the organization says you have experience in handling food, right? ”

Scrambled eggs were stunned.

"I probably know a little bit, but games are games after all – I mean, I'm not sure if my experience will work here."

Thinking that this is the game world, Brother Scrambled Egg temporarily changed his words, but it seems that the NPC doesn't seem to care, probably because the program is set to automatically ignore reality-related elements that have nothing to do with the game.

"It's okay, I need the advice of professionals," as he spoke, Chu Guang looked at the bacon rack on the side, "You can help me see what went wrong with the meat grill I made." ”

Looking at the wooden shelf in front of him, the scrambled eggs fell silent.

It's not so much what went wrong......

It's better to say that there are problems everywhere.

"This ...... First of all, the bacon must be in a closed environment, and it is useless to burn the outside even if you grill it. And on top of this meat, sprinkled with spices? ”

"A special kind of tobacco."

"Tobacco leaves?!"

"Well," Chu Guang nodded as he looked at the scrambled eggs with a surprised face, "This is an inland area, salt is very expensive, and the local survivors use this tobacco leaf, which is rich in aromatic compounds and tar, to replace table salt, crush and spread it on the surface of the food, and heat it to mix the preservative substance with the oil on the surface of the food to achieve the preservative effect." ”

Can it still be like this?!

The whole person was shocked by the scrambled eggs.

Some aromatic compounds did act as food preservatives, but it was the first time he had heard that they could be eaten.

Maybe not too much to kill you?

But his intuition told him that this smoking process was tantamount to fighting poison with poison......

"Actually, you can smoke meat without salt...... It's just that the flavor isn't very good. I don't know what you said, but the food smoked in this way is not suitable from a health point of view. ”

The scrambled egg statement is more euphemistic, because I heard that NPCs have a favorability setting, and only when the favorability is high can you take on hidden tasks.

In reality, he rolled his eyes directly.

"You don't need to put salt?!" Chu Guang was stunned.

"Hmm...... Microorganisms need moisture to survive, and smoked meat is essentially drying the moisture in the meat to achieve the effect of dehydration. The effect is better if you have salt, it lasts longer, and the flavor is better. But if you don't, it's okay as long as you do it properly. ”

"Of course, if you have a high fat content, dehydration can be more troublesome...... It still depends on what kind of meat it is. ”

Speaking of this, the scrambled eggs paused, glanced at the bacon rack next to him a little embarrassed, and whispered.

"But in either case, you're not sealing...... It's definitely not going to work. ”

The fact that you can marinate food without consuming this strange tobacco leaf is a joy for the outpost.

It's just that Chu Guang still has some doubts.

No matter how ignorant the survivors of Bate Street are, since they have been able to survive in this wasteland until now, they must not even be mistaken about this survival skill.

What went wrong?

However, Chu Guang didn't plan to think about such a troublesome matter for the time being.

One is because he is not so idle.

Again, everything has been solved by NPCs, so what do you need players to do?

"Very well, this glorious and difficult task is entrusted to you!"

patted the little Mengxin on the shoulder hard.

Chu Guang solemnly handed over the work of smoking meat to [Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes], and instructed him about safety issues, and then left happily.

Not bad.

One more trouble solved.

Now that the food problem is over, shouldn't I try to recruit more players to improve productivity?

With just these few hands, I may not be able to repair the walls of the sanatorium until the end of the month.

Just as Chu Guang was thinking like this, an excited cheer suddenly came from not far away.

"Cattle Batch !!"

"Damn, it's finally done!"
