How did you build the house using only natural resources?

—I used wood, bricks made from clay, and stones found in the forest to construct the house. I also built a stone wall around the house for added protection.

How did you grow sweet potatoes hydroponically?

—I planted sweet potato sprouts in pots filled with coconut fiber and placed the pots in water. The fish in the nearby tank provided nutrients for the plants to grow.

What techniques did you use for fishing?

—I created spools with hooks attached and tied them to rocks. When a fish bites the bait, the rocks hit a ceramic jar, creating a signal sound. I also used snails as bait.

How did you raise the quails?

—I incubated quail eggs and created a warm and dry environment for them to hatch. After hatching, I fed them crushed snails and watched them grow quickly.

What did you cook for the complete nutritious meal?

—I roasted sweet potatoes, grilled fish, and made a dish with sour star fruit and fish. The meal was delicious and provided a balance of protein, starch, and fiber.
