The so-called earth-flavoured tap water is a constant stream of mountain spring water drawn from the mountains.
This water does not come from the waterfall, but from under the cliff a few dozen metres beside the waterfall, where a moss-covered stone wall permeates the spring outwards all year round, converging into a small cesspool below the wall, which flows into the stream below the waterfall when it is full.
Li Tiezhu has long discovered this water source, after the bamboo building was repaired, he could no longer resist, the river water is clear but not good.
However, from the cesspit to the primitive people have two hundred metres away, picking water is not considered, the road is far and steep, those two bins converted into buckets and can not fill much, so Li Tiezhu can only choose – set up a water pipe.
Bamboo, bamboo again.
Tall bamboo was burnt red brazier stabbed through the bamboo joints, into an original bamboo pipe, each five or six metres long. The iron brazier is made from the iron bars on the folding stool sent by Cheng Dalong, dismantled, burned red, whacked and quenched, and then tied to a three-metre-long zebu bamboo, put it into charcoal to burn red, and then you can poke through the bamboo joints.
There are bamboo stools, what more folding stools? Fancy!
Bamboo strips made of brackets, framed with bamboo pipes, a section of a section of a section of the water to the home of the water tank, Li Tiezhu also gave the water tank to open a gap, the water is full will automatically overflow, in the new bamboo house under the flow a few laps, along a newly dug ditch into the river.
Pipeline erection is very low-tech, but the amount of labour is huge. Fortunately, the guests in this issue are very powerful, senior brother Fan Xiao Huang, tough guy Wu Jing, and fitness fiend Peng Yuyan.
The three of them are just passing by, going to New Tibet to shoot a film on mountaineering, as it happens that Li Tiezhu is a big hit overseas, they come to give Li Tiezhu a hand.
So much so, that the Mushroom House guys were all delayed another instalment back.
Although they are very big names, but Li Tiezhu paid the three people’s notice fee is not much, the only price is that …… they were beaten up by Fan Xiao Huang again for a few times, which is beautifully called cutting, but Li Tiezhu will always be the one who is cut.
Wu Jing on the sidelines to advise and point fingers, and finally, he was not satisfied with Li Tiezhu’s learning progress personally, but also be cut a little miserable.
In addition to being spanked, Li Tiezhu also rebuilt the kitchen a bit by the pergola, because, the airdrop delivered a soup pot and a casserole.
He also built a very small storage loft next to the kitchen, which contained eight pounds of rice, four pounds of wheat, as well as six sweet potatoes and two potatoes. These are the total savings from the first two issues of the family, and did not save money, just every time the “choice of sponsorship items” to give strength.
In addition, the hill behind the small courtyard had been reclaimed as a piece of farmland, which was not very big, and apart from a few wild onions, the rest was planted with small cabbages, cowpeas and garlic.
Among them, the cabbage and cowpea seeds were drawn from the lottery, while the garlic was the ones that sprouted from the spices brought by Deer Hani in the beginning.
“Hmmm ang en ang ……”
Alongside the dirt road, three men led a small donkey that was clearly a bit fearful as they slowly moved forward.
Walking in the forefront was the shy and pot-bellied Huang Sanshi, with a sun hat looking around all the way, “Ooh, the scenery here is really nice, the mountains are clear and beautiful, and although the sun is big, it’s not too hot.”
In the middle was He Ling, also wearing a sun hat, laughing, “The scenery is good, but the conditions are very tough. Did you watch the first two instalments? Sun Lei and Fang Bo are as tired as their grandchildren.”
Huang Sanshi also laughed: “Sun Lei called hard to persuade me not to come to this show, to come is to be a cow. Li Tiezhu is the only one who can beat them, so it’s a wonder they’re not miserable on this show.”
At the end of the walk was Yi Xing, who wrapped his head in his jacket, holding the donkey that was not willing to walk: “Aiya, you’d better go! Do you want me to carry you? We’re recording a programme, don’t play with the donkey’s temper, okay?”
The donkey: “Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm~”
Huang San Shi: “It’s probably afraid of being killed, hahaha!”
Yi Xing: “It’s not that bad, right? Such a cute donkey, you can keep it as a pet, just like Little Bit and Colourful Light in the Mushroom House.”
Huang San Shi: “Hehe! Primitive people only have food in their eyes!”
He Ling: “Maybe we can eat donkey meat roast today!”
Yi Xing: “Huh? Is that so cruel?”
He Ling: “Think about the first phase, the pig that Chen Chichih brought, we can see the rows of bacon hanging under the eaves when we go there, and I heard that Tiezhu has even smoked it with cypress boughs specifically, so it must smell good.”
Yi Xing looked at the donkey and said, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have smoked you, but turning into delicious food is also a reflection of value!”
The donkey moved even less forward.
He Ling helped Yi Xing, pulling the donkey forward, the donkey also carried two cloth bags, everything was so simple.
Pop-up:
“Donkey: don’t come over!”
“Good grief a donkey.”
“I have a small donkey I never eat, one day I had a whim to raise a knife to stab it ……”
“Blind Guess is going to make donkey meat on fire.”
“Be bold, gum!”
“So the so-called wilderness survival programme has run off the rails and become a food programme?”
“This is Li Tiezhu’s assimilation power.”
“Four Ha can even make him high into a food programme, what do you think?”
When it was broadcast abroad, the audience’s comments were very different.
“Oh! Here comes a labourer, and I don’t think the donkey realises at the moment that he’s about to become a star. It can help three hard-working primitives.”
“I have seen Chinese donkey carts, and I think it would be a good idea to make one.”
“There’s also donkey meat on fire.”
“What kind of carrier is a donkey fire roast?”
“It’s second only to horses and mules, that sissy guest is lucky, better hand than that fat and skinny guy!”
“I think Ayn Peira will appreciate these three guests with a sumptuous feast.”
When the three men and the donkey arrived at the small courtyard, it was cold and empty.
Yi Xing got the command from Huang Sanshi and bolted the donkey to a tree over the hillside so that it could graze.
Pushing open the door and walking in, Huang San Shi was a burst of exclamation: ”Good guy! Only three periods of time, all made into this? Counting the 〇 phase, it is only eight days, right? Two small bamboo houses, a courtyard, a pavilion, and a kitchen. The configuration is quite complete!”
He Ling: “Look at the bacon and sausage under the eaves, this must be forty to fifty pounds, right? Mushroom houses aren’t this rich!”
Huang Sanshi pushed the door into the earliest repaired bamboo house and immediately retreated back out, carefully closing the door behind him, shaking his head, “Teacher He, you can’t even guess what’s in this house!”
He Ling: “What? Is it some powerful tool that Tie Zhu made?”
“No, food!”
“Eat? Is it grain? Potatoes? A lot?”
“Neither, a bamboo frame with bean sprouts on it, looks like it’s just a week old, we’re in time, haha!”
“Bean sprouts? They grow their own bean sprouts?”
“Yes, but not many.”
Kiriki-kiriki-kiriki-kiriki-
Suddenly, a little yellow chicken popped out of the corner, looking like it had just been born.
He Ling: “Where did the chick come from?”
Huang San Shi said, “Don’t you think it looks familiar? It might be related to us, think about it.”
He Ling: “Did it hatch from the eggs in the mushroom house? How did it hatch?”
Huang Sanshi went to grab the chicks, which were nimbly dodged away, he said, “Artificial hatching, this is quite simple, the temperature control is good. However, this condition …… of theirs is not easy.”
At this time, Yi Xing tied up the donkey and walked into the yard, and was scared by the little yellow chicken.
Huang Sanshi are happy: “Yi Xing, such a small chicken you are also afraid?”
Yi Xing: “No matter how small it is, it’s still a chicken!”
He Ling said, “Then you avoid it, what are we going to do next? Go find Tie Zhu and the others?”
Huang Sanshi turned around and went into the new bamboo house, “What are you looking for them for? They must be working, and we’re just running over to help? Take a break!”
He Ling and Yi Xing followed into the house, everyone took their hats off and sat on the bamboo mat, suddenly feeling a pleasant coolness.
Yi Xing: “It’s so cool!”
It was already eleven o’clock and the sun was starting to get hot, but the house was as cool as if the air conditioner had been turned on.
Huang Sanshi rolled over and got up, nimbly ran outside to lie on the foundation of the bamboo house and looked down, came back and said, “Below is a gutter, zigzag, I guess it’s the water from the mountain springs that were brought in, no wonder it’s so cool.”
Yi Xing sighed, “Wow! This is too strong, isn’t it? How come Tie Zhu knows everything?”
He Ling: “No! He can’t dance.”
Yi Xing: “Heh heh heh ……”
Saying that they were resting and not working, but it was just words, Huang Sanshi and the others changed into the straw hats hanging outside the bamboo hut and went out, and under the guidance of the programme staff, they walked along the stream online and found Li Tiezhu’s trio at a corner.
Huang San Shi: ”Pillar! Oi! What’s going on?”
Li Tiezhu looked up, “Teacher Huang, Teacher He, Brother Yi Xing! We’re making a waterwheel.”
He Ling: “What’s the point of making a waterwheel?”
Qin Tao said, “Grinding tofu.”
At this time, the waterwheel was already turning, the river was flowing rather fast and powerful. On the other side, Li Tiezhu was building a platform with yellow mud and pebbles to fix the hand-ground coffee machine that he had modified.
Not long after, the not so small size coffee machine was fixed, the biggest modification of the coffee machine was that the drawer underneath was taken out and made into an outlet, the bean juice from the grinding would flow down and be caught by a bucket.
The coffee machine is driven by a power linkage, it is made of bamboo, and can be separated from the coffee machine at any time, the craftsmanship is very rough, but it can be moved on the line, it is always more reliable than manpower.
Although Huang Sanshi also marvelled at Li Tiezhu’s hands-on ability, he couldn’t help but ask: “This coffee machine grinds things very slowly.”
Li Tiezhu said, “The soybeans are soaked and pounded inside the cement mortar first, this side belongs to the finishing process, I thought about it, the efficiency should be okay. Let’s have a late lunch today and eat tofu!”
When the programme aired, the pop-ups were peculiar:
“What kind of tofu are we eating? There’s a donkey!”
“If Li Tiezhu knew the donkey was coming, he definitely wouldn’t want to eat tofu.”
“This eating tofu is he decent?”
“In two more instalments, the primitive house will be more luxurious than the mushroom house.”
“Go home and kill the donkey!”
As usual, the foreign comments paint a very different picture:
“God! Can I finally see the process of making magical food? That’s tofu!”
“I never knew why beans can be made into tofu.”
“Fark Primitive is a science programme that popularises 5,000 years of Chinese inventions.”
“It’s hard to believe that tofu was made in the far east during the Roman Empire.”
“After watching the preview of the programme yesterday, I went to Warmer to buy a lot of soybeans, and I’m going to use my wall-breaker to make tofu along with Iain Pella. By the way, I’ve got sausages hanging all over the inside of my kitchen, and yes, I made them! Very tasty!”
