Kuka’s eyes widened as he stared at the clear spring water.
“You’re… you’re really giving it to me?”
Even if it was 50 moles for 100
“Can’t eat it yet, we have to wait until the dishes are ready.”
Chen Yu mumbled as he covered the wooden lid again, resisting the urge to take a bite, and began preparing the ingredients for the radish and meat stew.
3 portions of 500g beef.
Washed twice with clean water, placed in three stone bowls respectively, stirred with fine salt for half a minute, and then set aside.
Next, wash the carrots.
Cut them into pieces.
Chen Yu’s knife skills weren't particularly good, but they were passable.
[Cave Reminder: Knife Skills +1]
To Chen Yu’s surprise, there was a bonus for knife skills.
It seemed that as long as he worked hard enough.
His knife skills might reach the level of carving flowers into tofu in the future.
[Cave Reminder: Excellent Survival Camp Upgrade Complete]
Huh?
The upgrade was finished.
Chen Yu looked around and found that the layout of the camp had changed again.
Three rooms and two halls.
The area had increased significantly.
Chen Yu ran outside again and saw that the courtyard area had also almost doubled, allowing for more drying racks.
“Boss’s camp upgraded again, awesome!!!”
Kuka, who was pounding moles in the courtyard, shouted loudly after seeing the camp upgrade.
“Lackey.”
Jack sneered, then felt an unfriendly gaze on him. He instinctively wanted to glare back but saw it was Chen Yu. He quickly shouted even louder.
“Awesome!!!!”
“What are you yelling about, you’re disturbing me.” Rosa glared. Jack immediately looked annoyed. “That rat just now was also yelling, why didn’t you say anything to him?”
“Mr. Kuka, I’m happy to listen even if you yell louder.”
Rosa said charmingly and flirtatiously.
Hearing this, Kuka was so scared that the shovel in his hand dropped.
The wind rose from nowhere.
A green leaf quietly fell onto Jack’s head, finding its resting place there.
The buildings had also begun to take on the form of a castle.
Clicking on the Survival Camp.
The current camp level had reached the Fine grade, and upgrading further required twice the resources.
[Fine Survival Camp: Upgradeable]
[Upgrade Required: 24/12 Earth Element Crystal Shards, 15/4 Fire Element Crystal Shards, 27/4 Wind Element Crystal Shards, 30/2 Water Element Crystal Shards, Ethereal Soul 134/20, Wood 409/160, Stone 280/160, Iron Block 70/80, Copper Block 190/40, Silver Block 167/20, Soil 144/120]
Compared to the Excellent grade camp.
The upgrade required silver, which was a new addition.
Upgrading to Rare would likely require gold.
Chen Yu had almost enough resources, but he was still short on iron.
He wasn’t the type of person to always ask others for favors.
Asking was a debt of gratitude.
The hardest thing to repay in this world was gratitude.
He could find a few units of iron by exploring a little later.
However, in the upgrade list, Chen Yu saw another option to build a stove.
[Camp Stove: Buildable]
[Construction Required: 15/1 Fire Element Crystal Shards, 280/30 Stone, 144/15 Soil, takes 3 hours]
This was great.
Upgrading the camp to include a stove meant he wouldn’t have to wait for the rice to cook before preparing the dishes.
Construct.
Ding.
Construction complete.
The 3-hour construction time was reduced, and the stove instantly appeared in the kitchen.
There was no change.
It was adjacent to the previous stove, still the same square stove, and still no large iron pot provided.
He used 5 units of iron to make an iron pot.
There was no oil.
So he could only make simple stews.
After the exploration, Chen Yu could render some animal fat to use for stir-frying, which would be very fragrant.
Pour water into the pot.
Add the cut meat and carrots, and sprinkle with fine salt.
Simmer for half an hour.
For both Chen Yu and Hei Dou, this half-hour was undoubtedly an ordeal.
As time passed.
The aroma of the rice and the braised beef with carrots grew stronger. Lions Jack, Rosa, and Kuka also ran in, their eyes fixed on the two stoves.
(｡•﹃•｡)
They couldn't stop drooling.
Chen Yu kept swallowing his saliva, and Hei Dou, squatting by the stove, asked several times if it was ready to eat. He was already so tempted that he was losing his mind.
The aroma of the broth and the rice intertwined. Chen Yu looked down at the time.
It was almost time.
Serve it up, time to eat!!!
