Chapter 32: Building a Home

No wonder people say that men and women are not tired of working together.

This day my work progress was much faster, three beds were put on the market, and the next few days we went out in the morning to catch birds and cut bamboo, and the rest of the time we made furniture.

There are more and more things in the cave, and it is becoming more and more like a home.

At noon that day, we sat around the table and ate the food served in bamboo bowls.

"Now that I have tables, chairs and benches, I can start building a house. I said.

"Can you build a bathroom first?" Liu Yue said.

As soon as she said this, I remembered that a few of us men could swim outside a few laps at any time, but we wronged a few of their women.

"Okay, no problem, I'll build the bathroom today. I said.

"Where are you going to build it?" Ling Han asked.

"It's built next to the spring, hollowing out the middle of the bamboo as a water pipe, draining a stream of water from the height of the spring, and then I make a bamboo plug by the way, just plug it when not in use." I said.

"It's so good, it feels so good to listen to. Rumeng said.

"If only there was a bar of soap. Liu Yue said.

"I may not be satisfied with soap, I can make soap. I said.

"How can you do this?" Ling Han said.

"It's easy, I'll do it for you after you've eaten. I said.

Hearing me say this, everyone looked at me curiously, in fact, I learned this from those survival programs.

After eating, I started to prepare, in fact, I had all the ingredients I needed in this cave.

I first took some plant ash in front of the campfire that we had extinguished, put it directly in the pot and boiled it, and at the same time added some washed pine needles.

"What are you doing here?" asked Liu Yue.

"I'll make you soap. I said.

"Uh, you're disgusting. Liu Yue said.

Everyone was also curious to come around to see how I operated.

"What is this pitch black?" Jones asked.

"Grass and wood ash. I said without looking up.

"Does this thing make soap?" Luna asked.

"It's not enough, there's something else to add. I said.

Soon the ashes and pine needles in the pot were boiling, and I watched it boil for a while before I began to remove the impurities.

However, many subtle impurities were never filtered clean, so I found a bamboo tube and made a small hole with a dagger at the bottom, put a cloth in it, put some gravel, and put some sand.

"What are you doing here?" Ling Han asked.

"Filter. As I spoke, I began to pour the cloudy liquid from the pot into the bamboo tube.

The liquid that filtered out the impurities slowly flowed into the clean bamboo tube I had prepared in advance.

Then I washed the pot again, poured the filtered liquid into the pot, and added some of the deer oil we had stored.

"What the hell are you doing, it's disgusting. Liu Yue said.

"That's right, don't you make soap, why do you still add fuel to it. Rumeng said.

"There is alkali in plant ash, and the alkali can react with animal or vegetable oil to produce detergent, which is the most primitive soap. I said.

"Then why did you add pine needles to it?" Ling Han asked.

"This thing has a little bit of antibacterial properties. I said.

Anyway, after I finished speaking, everyone looked at me incredulously, until the contents of my pot slowly became viscous, and as the water slowly evaporated, the contents of my pot gradually became non-fluid.

I pour the contents of the pot over a piece of plantain leaf and let it cool slowly.

"Is it okay?" Ling Han said.

"Give me your hand. I said.

Ling Han handed over the letter to the suspicious hand, I grabbed a small piece of deer oil and smeared it on her hand, and then buckled some unformed soap on the plantain leaves.

"What are you doing? Ling Han said.

I rubbed soap on her hand and said, "Wash it." ”

Ling Han looked at me with an incredulous expression, and finally took water and began to wash his hands, a magical scene happened, and the oil stains on Ling Han's hands were quickly cleaned.

She also felt incredible, and raised her little hand to smell it.

"Well, that's amazing, and there's a smell of pine. Ling Han said.

"Now you believe it, right?" I said with a smile.

"Brother, you're amazing. John said.

"Admire, admire. Paul said.

Seeing that the crowd was about to start praising again, I quickly got up and interrupted the crowd.

"Now that we've gotten this far, I'll get you some more mouthwash and shampoo. I said.

This time, there was no doubt in everyone's eyes, but I was still a little embarrassed by the incredible look in my eyes.

"How do you get mouthwash?" asked Liu Yue.

"Pine needles have a certain antibacterial properties, mash them, boil them, filter them, and then the water can be used as mouthwash. I said.

"It's amazing, I'll leave this to me. Liu Yue said.

"I'm going to get it, I'm going to get it. The women scrambled to speak.

"Okay, then you get mouthwash, I'll get you shampoo. I said.

When I said this, everyone immediately stopped, looked at me in unison, and asked, "How do you make shampoo?"

I pointed to a plant with long leaves in the cave and said, "Crushing the roots of yucca plants creates a lather that contains a lot of saponin, a foaming substance that can be used as a shampoo." ”

"Wow, get it, my hair is knotted. Liu Yue said.

As soon as Liu Yue said this, all the women also put down the study of mouthwash and came over, and everyone surrounded me like curious babies.

I had to start digging up the roots of the plant, then washing it, but instead I took a bamboo tube, took a clean wooden stick and broke it up, and at the same time added a small amount of water, and sure enough, the foam began to come out.

"Wow awesome, Qingyang, you're amazing. Liu Yue jumped up excitedly and incense my face.

I haven't come back to my senses yet, all the women have learned from Liu Yue to come forward and incense me, even Ling Han, who has always been cold, is not idle.

I was stunned and froze in place, the bamboo tube and shampoo in my hand were gone, and I only heard the laughter of the women, as if they had made an appointment to wash their hair.

John and Paul walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder and gave me a thumbs up.

"Awesome!" the two said in unison.

I realized what had happened, and in order to hide the little joy and embarrassment in my heart, I quickly stirred up my mouthwash again.

"Can this thing be saved?" John asked.

"It's better not to, make new ones every day, it's not a hassle anyway. I said.

"Where did you learn all this?" asked Paul.

"Haha, secret. I said with a smile.

I don't know when my personality has become much more cheerful, and I even joke with everyone occasionally, which was absolutely impossible before, and my self-perception is a very old-fashioned person.

It's really nice to see everyone happy, and it's really nice to be respected.

I didn't stop, and I started to make a bathroom for the girls, but before I could see if I could build a toilet.

I searched around the cave and it really helped me find a good place.

"What are you doing?" asked John.

"If you look at this hole, you can't see the bottom at all. I said as I turned on my flashlight and shone it down.

"Try it. As he spoke, Paul threw a stone and went down.

The stone slipped down in a hole thicker than the mouth of the bowl, but we never heard the sound of the stone falling to the bottom.

"Wow, this hole is so deep. John said.

"That's right, let's build a shed here. I said.

"What are you going to do?" Paul said.

"Isn't that the right toilet?" I said.

"yes, I didn't think of that. John said.

"Yes, yes, it's long overdue to build a toilet. Paul said.

"But can you fix the toilet paper problem? I've been feeling a foreign object for the past two days. John whispered.

"What do you usually use?" I asked, surprised.

"Leaves. John said.

"What about you?" I asked, looking at Paul.

"Leaves, straw, everything. Paul said.

"Hahaha, you guys really do it, I'm washing with water. I said.

When the two of them heard me say this, they suddenly covered their heads with a sense of pain.

"Let's do it. I said and began to cut the bamboo.
