Just as her eyes were wandering, she felt something approaching, coldly. When she turned her head, it was Bo Yan holding a bottle of Coke, approaching her face.
Is there anything more comforting than a bottle of cold Coke in a hot and arid place
Xia Siyu's happiness was also so simple, a bottle of iced Coke cured her.
She turned back happily: "Did you still buy this?"
Of course not, Bo Yan said: "Han Yifan picked it up from his mouth." The others were all entertainers and had the need to maintain their figure. Only Han Yifan did not have this need and could happily drink Fat House Happy Water.
Xia Siyu usually doesn't have access to Feizhai Happy Water. If she wants to drink it, it's the sugar-free kind, which is very unpleasant to drink. But today's situation is special. It's summer and it's a desert. I sweat a lot and need to replenish water and energy.
The desert scenery is magnificent, and the weather here is also good, with clear skies. At sunset, we were actually still some distance away from the scheduled location, about ten kilometers, but if the sky got dark, it would be difficult to set up the tent and film the show, so we stopped here.
It doesn’t matter if I miss walking ten kilometers a day. I just need to get up early tomorrow and start walking again. Boyan looked at the clock and saw that the sunset was relatively late now, and it would only get dark around eight o'clock. It was now seven o'clock and they had an hour to set up tents and make a fire to cook. When it gets dark, this is not a city and there is no electricity, so we can only use bonfires and flashlights for lighting.
So the guide found a leeward campsite for everyone to rest. Bo Yan and Han Yifan had experience, so the first thing they had to do was to set up a tent. Driving piles, erecting supports, and laying the exterior and interior.
They live not far from the national highway, but they are not next to it. After all, the road is not closed, and cars still pass by in the middle of the night.
Unexpectedly, besides Bo Yan and Han Yifan, Xia Siyu could also do it. Bo Yan was driving the piles, and she was putting together the brackets. Although she was not very strong and the pieces were not very reliable, the shape was there. After Bo Yan finished typing, he turned around and slapped her a little harder, and a tent was quickly completed.
Even Han Yifan was a little surprised: "Oh, not bad, have you studied?"
"What else?" Things like summer camps came from the West. Xia Siyu went to many places with school when she was young, so she would definitely be able to do this with such a basic level.
The senior group really didn't understand this very well. They looked around a few times but failed to get it right. They turned back and said, "Bo Yan, can I help you look over there?"
"Okay, wait a minute." Boyan set up the tent here and immediately went over to help. Starting with piling, he then told them how to set up the scaffolding. With his help, the tent here was quickly set up. Not to mention, although the tent was definitely not as comfortable as a hotel, it was a different experience once or twice to go out and play.
Three groups of tents were set up and Bo Yan came back. Xia Siyu had already arranged the inner room and laid out sleeping bags.
The filming hadn't started at noon, and Xia Siyu ate a lot knowing that she would have a hard time starting in the afternoon. But she was tired after an afternoon of running around, riding camels, and setting up tents. It was all physical work, and she was hungry.
Boyan looked around. Although it is a desert, it is close to the Gobi Desert and there are some gravels. He picked up a few pieces, rolled them into the shape of a stove, and then put the dry firewood he bought. Generally, charcoal is the best way to make a fire, but now there is obviously no condition to do so.
He also found a stone pier and started processing the ingredients.
Bo Yan still had the foresight. The meat and vegetables, as well as the pots and pans to be used, had already been washed before entering the desert. Everything only needed to be cut here.
He didn't have any handy tools, so he used a Swiss Army Knife that he brought with him. He brought it himself, but it was not within the three hundred given by the program crew. Cut the meat into large pieces and tear the vegetables by hand. After igniting the fire, pour water to boil, put half a pack of hot pot base ingredients, throw the meat and vegetables in and cook, and break out a naan.
The fire rises and the fragrance fills the air. Although this meal can be considered rough under normal circumstances, in a desert where supplies are scarce, it is simply a five-star delicacy!
When the smell came out, Han Yifan next to him was the first to rush over: "What are you cooking? Do you want me to help you taste it?"
Just now Han Yifan gave Xia Siyu a bottle of Coke. Xia Siyu also used Shang Feier's name to rent military coats before. Although they are stingy, they will not completely refuse. Bo Yan deliberately followed his words and said, "I can only taste it."
"I'm so stingy, so I won't eat your food. I'll get some vegetables and meat, and I'll lend you the pot and seasonings."
Han Yifan ran to get something, and Shang Feier carried it over with him.
"What are you eating?" It was the senior couple who were also preparing to cook, but they were attracted by the smell and saw that a pot had been set up here to start the meal.
In fact, Boyan bought a lot of meat and vegetables. After all, he was away from home, there was no refrigerator, and it was hot and difficult to store. It was best to finish these things in one meal today and not eat them tomorrow. The senior pair were not polite to them and brought bowls and chopsticks over.
Six people gathered around a stove, waiting for meat and dishes. It's okay if you don't smell the fragrance, but when you smell it, you instantly feel hungry after traveling all day. It’s okay to have a cheat meal once in a while, so everyone opened their stomachs and ate happily.
After finishing the meal, the seniors were too embarrassed to eat their food for free, so they brought a watermelon. This is the place where it is produced, so it is cheap and good quality, but in the desert, it feels really good to eat watermelon after hot pot. Six people shared one meal, and their bellies were full.
Xia Siyu touched her belly and said, "Hey, something seems wrong?"
She thought about it, but couldn't think of anything, so she patted her belly again and said, "Whatever. How do you clean this pot?"
There is little water in the desert, but the pots and pans still need to be cleaned for use tomorrow and the day after.
People from other groups also went to wash the dishes. When they were walking back, they remembered something was wrong—Zhou Weiwei and her group didn't come.
Zhou Weiwei and Zhang Wenyi are not people who are good at setting up tents. Work was in full swing there, and they would only read the instructions for a long time. Moreover, their relationship with Xia Siyu and Boyan is very delicate now, and they are too embarrassed to ask for help.
When a fire was set up over there and a hot pot was cooked, their tent was almost ready. And because he wasn’t very professional, the outfit was ugly.
The aroma wafted up, and the two of them were very hungry, but they were too embarrassed to squeeze in there. They hadn't done much cooking before. At most they had fried steaks and made breakfast sandwiches, and ate other meals out. At this time, they were eating hot pot and singing songs, and they could only stay in their small tents and eat bread.
I accidentally took a big bite and choked.
