Chapter 754: Preparing Dinner

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Let’s continue searching, ” Melinda said excitedly.

After successfully capturing the first frog, everyone seemed very excited and full of fighting spirit.

However, they were lucky to catch that frog just now. It was not so easy to catch them again. Fortunately, after a while, everyone gradually found the trick and finally caught three fat and beautiful bullfrogs.

The few of them were exhausted, but they were all very excited. They were very happy that their hard work had been rewarded. Moreover, the feeling of everyone working together in a team battle was even more joyous and blissful than the feeling of fighting alone.

In this Man vs. Wild, difficult challenges coexisted. The most basic needs such as food and sleep in the wilderness were problems, and they were highly nervous. However, with everyone working together, this Man vs. Wild experience was much less lonely and helpless.

Although there were many times when they wondered if they could really do it, when they finally did it, their confidence multiplied.

After having enough food for tonight, they decided to return home.

Sharon led the way with a flashlight in front, walking in the silent forest.

Dan carried the pheasant, Shane carried the bullfrog, and Melinda followed behind. The few of them returned with a full load.

“By the way, I saw small fish in the river by the pond just now. Let’s catch fish tomorrow,” Melinda suggested.

“Sure,” Sharon said.

At the thought that there would be meat to eat for the next few days, although Sharon was very tired, she felt very happy.

When they returned to the house they had built previously, Melissa welcomed them.

“Why are you guys only back now? I’m scared to be alone.” She was wearing a coat that looked like Shane’s.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Melissa saw the frog in Shane’s

net and continued, “You guys really caught frogs.”

Shane put down the things in his hand, took his coat off her, and put it back on.

“What are you doing? I’m cold,” Melissa said righteously.

“Missy, I’m cold too,” Shane said.

Shane felt that he had already done his best by letting her wear his jacket for so long.

Melissa pursed her lips.

“Let’s prepare to deal with the food,” Sharon said. “We can roast pheasants and frogs tonight.”

“Just thinking about it makes me drool,” Melinda said. Her stomach was already growling.

Dan and Shane went to find some branches for firewood. Roasting pheasants required a relatively strong fire, so Dan specially found some thicker branches.

Shane sharpened one end of the branch with his knife and peeled a few in a row, preparing to use it to skewer pheasants and bullfrogs.

At this moment, Dan used the flint that the production team had given him previously and the handful of dry fallen leaves that Melinda had picked up to set up a grill and place the firewood. She had already started the fire.

“How should we deal with the pheasant and bullfrogs?” Melinda knocked the pheasant that had fallen to its death with a wooden stick. The feathers were probably not easy to deal with.

“We have to boil some boiling water,” Sharon said. “We have to boil it with boiling water so that the chicken feathers can be plucked.”

“Alright, I’ll go get some water.” Melinda walked away with the bucket.

After Melinda returned with the water, Sharon poured the water from the small bucket into a broken pot she had picked up previously. Although the pot was broken, it was good that it didn’t leak. It could still be used after washing.

After the water boiled, Sharon picked up the pheasant by its foot and placed it in the pot. The small pot was too small, and the pheasant was relatively big. It could barely be put down. After holding the chicken’s foot and spinning it a few times in the pot, steam rose from the chicken’s body. It looked like one could start plucking its feathers.

Plucking chicken feathers required skills. The water could not be too hot, or it would burn the chicken. However, they were living in the wilderness now, so they naturally could not care so much.

After scalding the chicken, everyone came to help. Soon, the entire chicken was plucked clean.

The chicken feathers that they had plucked were originally piled to the side, but soon, the wet chicken feathers were half-dried by the fire. A gust of wind blew, and the chicken feathers danced in the air. Sharon’s hair and eyebrows were covered in chicken feathers, and Melinda’s sleeves were also covered in chicken feathers.

Melissa was unwillingly dragged to work by Melinda. There was a thin strand of feather at the corner of her mouth.

“It’s all on your mouth.” Sharon looked at this girl who was pampered and not much younger than her. Due to Melinda’s instructions just now, she had no choice but to squat on the ground and pluck the feathers. Sharon couldn’t help but find it funny. She gently removed the feathers from the corner of Melissa’s mouth with her fingers.

Melissa was stunned for a moment. She had always hated Sharon, but Sharon wasn’t as annoying as she thought. She was a little embarrassed and didn’t know how to react, so she shook her head slightly and pretended to want to shake the feathers off her hair..
