Chapter 159 Soap
"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Sangyi gently caressed Guozi's little face. Seeing that her clothes were torn, she found a piece of cloth from home and compared it with Guozi's body shape.
She took out the needle and thread and started sewing. "I put some snacks on the table and went to take some to eat."
Guozi jumped up in the air excitedly, "Great!"
Taking the nut and starting to chew it, Guozi pried open the pistachio with his teeth and lay on the small blanket that Lin Sangyi had made specifically for him.
"What kind of creature are you?" Xiya had been hiding in the dark, so Guozi didn't notice her.
The sudden sound startled the fruit so much that the nut in its hand fell out. "Who are you?"
Xiya's eyes turned and she came up with an idea. She slowly approached Guozi and said, "Let me tell you, did you see the female outside?"
"I saw it. What are you going to do?" Guozi looked at Xiya warily.
Xiya put her hands on the table and looked at Guozi at eye level. "She also captured you, right? Why don't we work together? You help me escape, and then I'll come and save you."
After a long time, Xiya was caught by the host. Guozi relaxed and continued to lie on the small blanket.
"How can I cooperate with you?"
Xiya came up with a perfect plan. "When the time comes, you will attract their attention and give me a chance to slip away. After I slip away, I will definitely bring the orcs back to rescue you."
She had been to the outside world, and she was not afraid of flying fruits, and could even talk and laugh with them.
"What if you don't come back?"
The corners of Xiya's smiling mouth were stiff. She had never thought of this possibility. Her inner thought was that if she went back, she would never come back again.
But now she could only steady the little guy. She leaned on the table and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back."
"What are you talking about with her?" Lin Sangyi prepared the materials for making soap and was walking over here.
Guozi happily flew to Lin Sangyi's side, holding a big walnut in his hand, "I can't peel this walnut."
Lin Sangyi took the walnuts and patted them with her hands. "I bought paper-shell walnuts. They will open with a light tap. Don't bite them with your teeth."
The fruit that got the walnut was spinning and jumping happily. Xiya was stunned watching from the side. It turned out that the fruit was not caught by them, but was in the same group with them.
She was so angry that she pointed at Guozi and said, "You are in cahoots with her, then what were you talking about just now?"
"I just feel bored." Guozi chewed a walnut with a nonchalant look on his face.
This made Xiya very angry, and she sat in the corner sulking.
"I'm back!" Morin was holding a pile of shells in his hands. He put the shells on the ground and lay on the chair, catching his breath.
There were so many shells that his space was unable to accommodate them all, and many of them he brought back himself.
"Why did you bring back so much? Only a little bit will be enough."
Maureen also brought back a lot of seafood. "It's a rare trip, so I took a little more."
He went to several small safes and moved a lot of things, all of which were placed in his system space.
Lin Sangyi first placed the shells in the fire prepared by Qi Yusheng to burn them, and then crushed the burned shells into powder.
"Let me help you. I'm stronger." Shi Sheng took the tool from her hand and started tinkering with it.
With the help of Shi Sheng, Lin Sangyi started to burn wood ash in order to make lye, which provided alkaline substances for making soap to promote the saponification reaction.
Pour the prepared alkali solution into a container covered with gauze to filter out the alkali water, and then add the pounded shell powder.
After stirring evenly, filter it again with gauze. Lin Sangyi put the filtered solution aside and let it settle overnight.
"I'm still worried about Zhu Li. Let's go there again tomorrow. Xiwa doesn't seem to worry about Xiya at all. I'm afraid something might go wrong."
Thinking about the big dragon, Lin Sangyi became more and more anxious. The original plan was to hold Xiya hostage and wait for Xiwa to come and redeem her.
But there has been no movement for such a long time, there must be something strange.
"Then I'll go check it out tomorrow. I'm sure everything will be fine. Zhu Li is better than any of us and will definitely be able to protect himself."
The little lion ran into Lin Sangyi's arms and lay there obediently. He was very tired today after learning hunting techniques from Shi Sheng.
Seeing the little lion so tired, Lin Sangyi kneaded his calf with concern, "Are you being too harsh on him? He is still so young, and you let him catch rabbits that are bigger than him."
Shi Sheng hugged her and patiently explained to her, "I know you are worried that if he doesn't study now, he won't live long enough to grow up."
Only by cultivating it from a young age can you become independent when you grow up.
Early in the morning, Lin Sangyi washed the little lion's face with a towel. When he came back yesterday, his body was covered in mud.
"Remember to give him a bath when you come back."
While Shi Sheng was taking the little lion out, Lin Sangyi started to make soap.
She cut the prepared pork fat into small pieces, put it into a large pot and simmered it slowly over low heat.
Boil the lard, then use a colander to scoop the lard into a bowl. Set the lard aside to cool.
"Are you making oil residue?" Qi Yu wiped his saliva and looked at the meat residue in the pot, his saliva flowing.
Lin Sangyi fished out the meat residue and sprinkled it with fine salt. "It's ready to eat. Take it out and eat with them."
Lin Sangyi took a small amount of coarse salt and pounded it into fine powder for later use. After the lard cooled, he poured the upper layer of alkaline water that had been left overnight into the lard at room temperature, and then added the pounded fine salt.
Then continue stirring in one direction to fully mix the brine and lard to produce a saponification reaction.
When the oil gradually turns into a sticky paste, put it into a bamboo tube to shape it.
When the soap is fully solidified, you can split the bamboo tube to demold the soap. Lin Sangyi puts the bamboo tube aside, takes out the demolded soap, and cuts it into small pieces.
Place the soap in a bamboo basket and place it in a ventilated and cool place to allow it to saponify slowly.
"Is this all done?" Qi Yu found everything curious and followed Lin Sangyi around everywhere.
"We still need to wait. We can't use it now." Lin Sangyi washed his hands and greeted the little lion coming back from hunting.
The place where Shi Sheng took him hunting was not far away, right next to the door of their home. Lin Sangyi could see them even from a high place.
The little lion came back listlessly, followed by Shi Sheng, who had a serious face.
"You can't even catch such a small rabbit. You are such a loser."
Shi Sheng rubbed his eyebrows. He had taught him many times, but he just couldn't learn it. Sometimes he even doubted whether he had taught him wrongly.
Lin Sangyi stood between the two of them and picked up the little lion. "I told him that he is still too young, so don't scold him."
When they reached a secluded place, Lin Sangyi put the little lion on the ground, squatted down and asked gently, "I know you can catch the rabbit. You have already bitten it. Mother saw it."
