“It’s really delicious. It has a light pine scent. It’s a little different from the poultry we usually eat.” Wang Bingbing couldn’t help but comment.
She really likes eating and can be considered a foodie.
Meng Chao was also very satisfied with the grouse. This time they only brought a little salt and nothing else.
It turned out to be delicious and both of us were very satisfied with the meal.
There wasn’t much meat on a grouse, so two people finished it in no time.
However, they still have a lot to do next.
One thing, is to make a sled.
Walking in the snow is too difficult, skiing is relatively easy.
Meng Chao cut down a tree and started preparing to make a sled.
“Brothers, during our time on the island, the thing I did most was chopping trees and building our boat.”
“Now the ship has been bought by a rich man, but we have made a model. If you like it, you can place an order in the live broadcast room.”
Bring goods.
Yes, Meng Chao directly moved the live streaming sales from his own world here.
Live streaming may not make money, but if you sell something through live streaming, that is real money.
The first thing I sold was naturally my own peripheral products.
This can be considered as an attempt, and Meng Chao would not think that the money is too much.
[It’s really on sale now, it’s still the suggestion I made at the beginning! ! ! ]
[Okay, okay, I’ll place the order right away. ]
[It’s only 300 yuan, is the quality okay? ]
[There is also a Lego version. Great, I want this one! ]
[They have released peripherals, it’s a great success, we must support it. 】
【Gone? 】
[Oh my god, I just clicked on it, how come it’s sold out? ]
[Chao Ye, please replenish the stock. I want to get on board too! ]
[That’s right, you look down on us. There are only 100,000 of them. Who can buy them? ]
[Chao Ye, you have 30 million fans online, and you only have 100,000. Who will take pictures of the dog?]
Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing both widened their eyes. They never thought that their fans would be so powerful.
One hundred thousand, he thought it would be great if he could sell it for fifty thousand.
After all, he invested a lot of money to make this batch of goods, and if he sold all the profits from one, he would only have 50 yuan left.
He felt that he was quite conscientious and thought that one hundred thousand would last him a long time.
But it was sold out in less than a minute after it was put on the shelves. This is too outrageous.
Meng Chao looked at the series of messages urging restocking on the barrage, and couldn’t help but gasp. He turned to Wang Bingbing and said, “Bingbing, this is too crazy. I really underestimated the enthusiasm of our fans.”
Wang Bingbing was also surprised and responded with a smile: “This shows that you are very popular. Everyone supports you very much. But in the current situation, we have to find a way to replenish the stock quickly.”
Meng Chao scratched his head, thought for a moment and said, “Yes, but it’s not easy to replenish a large amount of goods in such a short time. I still have to communicate with the factory we cooperated with before to see if they can speed up production. And whether the supply of raw materials can keep up is also a problem.”
As he spoke, Meng Chao used one of them to contact the pilot who was still staring at him, and asked him to call the manufacturer to establish a long-distance call.
Soon, a slightly tired voice came from the other end of the phone: “Mr. Meng, you have just finished producing this batch of peripherals, and the factory is busy with other orders. It is not easy to arrange large-scale production immediately.”
Meng Chao anxiously explained the situation: “Director Zhang, you can see that this product was sold out in just one minute after it was put on the shelves. Fans are clamoring for more. Can you help me think of a solution? Even working overtime is fine. I can increase the processing fee appropriately.”
Director Zhang pondered for a while on the other end of the phone, then said, “Okay, Mr. Meng, since we have been working together for so long, I will try my best to arrange it, but you may also need to coordinate with the raw materials and strive to supply them as soon as possible.”
Meng Chao quickly agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he went straight to contact the raw material supplier.
Wang Bingbing was helping to reply to the messages from fans in the live broadcast room, calming everyone down: “Don’t worry, Meng Chao is already working hard to coordinate the replenishment, and strive to ensure that everyone can buy the peripherals they like.”
【Come on, Chao Ye, we can wait! 】
[That’s right, we must ensure the quality. We are all looking forward to it. ]
[Thank you for your hard work, Sister Bingbing. Please help us to urge the manufacturer. 】
After a busy period of communication and coordination, we finally got some results. The factory agreed to work overtime to speed up the production, and the raw material supplier also said that they would allocate sufficient supply as soon as possible.
Meng Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the camera, saying to the still enthusiastic fans in the live broadcast room: “Brothers and sisters, I have already talked to the manufacturer and increased the price by 500,000, but we need to wait.”
“I’m already working hard to arrange for restocking. I’ll definitely stock up more this time and won’t let you down!”
There was another round of cheers in the live broadcast room, and Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing looked at each other, and saw the joy and emotion of this unexpected surprise in each other’s eyes.
He originally thought that earning 500 million would be enough, but he didn’t expect everyone to be so supportive and want to give him money.
The speed of making money is really too fast. No wonder everyone in my world has started to go crazy for live streaming and selling goods.
It is so easy to make money, so easy that it drives people crazy.
Of course he wanted to make this money.
Who would complain about having too much money?
After finishing this task, Meng Chao continued to make snowboards for himself and Wang Bingbing.
Fans buy peripheral products because they like his live broadcast in the wilderness, so he needs to do a good job of live broadcasting and not forget his original intention.
“It’s really cold in the Arctic. I’m not afraid of cold at all, but here I don’t dare to take off my gloves.”
“It’s minus 37 degrees Celsius now. It’s really too cold.”
Meng Chao said as he chopped the tree.
“There is heat exchange in our clothes, so if we are sweating or too hot, it will move the heat away.”
“Without this function, it would be really inconvenient to work here.”
While talking to the audience in the live broadcast room, Meng Chao continued to work on making the snowboard. In this Arctic environment of minus 37 degrees Celsius, every movement seemed extremely difficult, and the breath he exhaled instantly condensed into white mist in the air.
He first carefully looked at the tree he had just cut down, and selected a relatively straight and appropriately thick section of the trunk, preparing to make it into the main body of the skis.
“The tree must be selected carefully, otherwise the skis made from it will be uneven and it will be difficult to slide on the snow.” Meng Chao explained to the camera.
Then, Meng Chao picked up the axe and chopped off the extra branches on the tree trunk.
Every swing of the axe required a lot of strength, and the cold air seemed to be against him, making his arms heavier and heavier.
But he dared not slack off at all, because he knew that only by making the skis as soon as possible could he move better in this Arctic land and bring more exciting content to the audience in the live broadcast room.
After cutting off the branches, Meng Chao took out the engineer shovel and began to saw off the selected tree trunk parts to the appropriate length.
After all, the engineer shovel has serrations on one side and can be used to saw wood.
The sound of the saw teeth rubbing against the tree trunk was particularly harsh in the silent Arctic, and the flying wood chips became hard due to the cold temperature, causing a slight sting when they hit the face.
“In this weather, even the wood chips have become so fierce. It’s really hard to deal with.” Meng Chao joked to Wang Bingbing with a smile, trying to ease the cold and tense working atmosphere.
Wang Bingbing watched from the side, rubbing her face with her gloved hands from time to time to resist the biting cold, and responded: “Yes, Brother Chao, you have to be careful and don’t hurt yourself.”
After sawing the tree trunk to the appropriate length, Meng Chao began to shape it.
He first used the axe to roughly carve out the outline of the ski, and then used it to smooth the surface bit by bit.
“Look everyone, this planing work cannot be sloppy. The smoother the surface of the ski board is, the smoother it will slide on the snow.” While planing, Meng Chao explained the production steps to the audience in the live broadcast room.
After some effort, the main shape of the ski has been basically completed, but it is far from enough.
Meng Chao took out the dagger again and began to carefully scrape the skis, striving to make the surface of the skis as smooth as possible.
In this cold environment, the polishing work is more difficult.
But Meng Chao did not stop and continued to scrape the board patiently.
“Wow, Brother Chao, this ski board looks really good.” Wang Bingbing couldn’t help but exclaimed as she watched the ski board gradually taking shape.
Meng Chao wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead due to the cold and fatigue, and said, “It’s not over yet, Bingbing, next we have to install the fixator and straps on it, so that it can be really used.”
Meng Chao sharpened a piece of wood and nailed it into the skis to make bindings.
After several hours of hard work, Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing’s skis were completed.
Two brand new skis were placed on the snow, reflecting a faint light under the sunlight, as if waiting for their owners to step on them and start an exciting sliding journey on the snow in the Arctic.
Meng Chao stood up, stretched his aching back, and said proudly to the camera: “Brothers and sisters, our skis are finally done! Next, we can enjoy the ride on the snow in the Arctic!”
The live broadcast room was suddenly filled with cheers and likes, and the audience was looking forward to Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing’s next skiing adventure in the Arctic.
[It’s amazing how the sun never sets.]
[It’s late at night now. When I turn on the live broadcast, I see the sun and feel that the night has become warmer. 】
Meng Chao looked at the enthusiastic responses from everyone in the live broadcast room, and his heart was filled with joy. He winked at Wang Bingbing and said, “Bingbing, now that the skis are ready, let’s get ready to set off and let everyone follow us to experience the excitement of sliding on the Arctic snow.”
Wang Bingbing smiled and nodded, and the two quickly changed into their ski equipment, fixed the skis on their feet, held ski poles, and stood on an open snowy field.
Meng Chao shouted to the camera: “Brothers, sisters, we are going to start skiing now, so please watch carefully!” After that, he pushed his ski poles hard, and the whole person flew out on the snow like an arrow, raising a cloud of snow mist behind him.
Wang Bingbing was not to be outdone and followed closely behind. Her figure was light and graceful, drawing beautiful arcs on the snow.
“Wow, Brother Chao and Sister Bingbing are so handsome!”
“This speed is so exciting to watch!”
The audience in the live broadcast room expressed their admiration and the messages kept rolling in.
Meng Chao and Wang Bingbing galloped on the snow, sometimes accelerating and sometimes turning flexibly, enjoying this unique Arctic skiing experience. However, not long after skiing, Meng Chao realized that something was wrong. The Arctic snow seemed flat, but in fact it was a mystery. In some places, there seemed to be ice under the snow, making skiing extremely bumpy.
“Bingbing, be careful. There is ice under the snow. Don’t fall.” Meng Chao reminded Wang Bingbing loudly.
Wang Bingbing responded and was about to slow down when a small slope suddenly appeared in front of her. She couldn’t avoid it and rushed directly up. After staying in the air for a short time, she fell down quickly again.
“Ouch!” Wang Bingbing exclaimed, but fortunately her skiing skills were pretty good, so she kept her body steady and did not fall to the ground.
Meng Chao quickly slid to her side and asked with concern: “Bingbing, are you okay? You scared me just now.”
Wang Bingbing smiled and waved her hands, saying, “It’s okay, Brother Chao, it was just a little sudden, I’m fine now.”
After a short rest, the two decided to change their route and slide towards a relatively flat snowfield. Along the way, they admired the magnificent scenery of the Arctic, the continuous snow-capped mountains and the vast ice fields, which exuded a mysterious and charming charm under the sun that never set.
“Look everyone, the scenery in the Arctic is so beautiful. Every place is like a painting. You can only truly feel the wonders of nature by visiting here in person.” Meng Chao said to the camera with emotion.
Wang Bingbing also agreed: “Yes, and sliding on the snow makes me feel like I am one with this world of ice and snow. This experience is amazing.”
Just as they were immersed in the beautiful scenery and the fun of sliding, Meng Chao suddenly discovered a group of Arctic foxes running and playing on the snow in the distance.
“Bingbing, look, there’s an Arctic fox over there!” Meng Chao pointed excitedly into the distance.
Wang Bingbing looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a group of Arctic foxes with snow-white fur, looming on the snow. Their agile figures seemed like the elves of this ice and snow world.
“Wow, so cute! They run so fast.” Wang Bingbing couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Meng Chao slowed down and took out the small camera he carried with him, wanting to record this rare scene. He approached the group of Arctic foxes carefully, trying not to make too much noise to avoid disturbing them.
The audience in the live broadcast room was also attracted by this scene, and the number of messages increased instantly.
[Wow, the Arctic fox is so cute! ]
[Chaoy, please take a closer look. I really want to see what they look like. ]
[This is a rare scene. Chao Ye and Bing Bing are so lucky. ]
After Meng Chao successfully captured some clear images of Arctic foxes, he took out his hunting bow.
It looks good, but it still needs to be hunted.
After all, they were still hungry and needed to eat meat.
However, just as he was about to take action, Wang Bingbing held him down.
