Chapter 81: Making Soap

"Xu Yi, you didn't get wet, did you?" Lu saw Xu Yi walk in and hurriedly handed over a bowl of hot mint tea.

"It's okay, just a little. Xu Yi took the hot soup and smelled the fragrance emanating from the girl's body.

This is the effect of the enhanced sense of smell, and some smells that are usually not smelled can be smelled now.

"Then take off your clothes and dry them. Lu Ke hurriedly said, his eyes full of worry.

After all, if Xu Yi gets sick, it will be a big problem.

"It's fine. Xu Yi finished drinking the water, and then took off his coat, only to find that the vest was wet. However, it was all rain, and a lot of it was sweat.

"I'm going to wash it and I'll come back and dry it. With that, Xu Yi put on his clothes, and then went to scrub his vest.

After washing, Xu Yi came back.

"Xu Yi, why don't we cook something else to eat today?" Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi, really worried that he would get sick.

Xu Yi shook his head, took off his coat, and said, "No, this little rain is nothing to me." It is estimated that it will rain for a few more days, so we should eat the lamb and dried fish as soon as possible, and the potatoes are used to save lives, so try not to eat them until the end. ”

If it rains for ten days and a half months, they may have to rely on potatoes to stay alive.

Lu Ke nodded and didn't say anything more.

Gathered in front of the fire, two men nibbled on dried mutton and drank soup made with dried mutton.

After dinner, Xu Yi took out the water that had been soaked in the ashes before.

"Are we going to make soap?" Lu saw Chu Yi pour the water of the grass ash into another empty bowl, and couldn't help asking.

"Well, go get the oil, and we'll see if we can make the soap in the evening." As he spoke, Xu Yi added some firewood to the fire.

"Okay. Lu Ke got up and went to take the mutton fat, and then handed it to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi dug half of it into the pot with a spoon and heated it into a liquid.

"Just pour it into the water, then be careful. Lu Ke was worried that the oil would splash, so he reminded him.

"Well, once you've poured it in, it's time to start stirring. With that, Xu Yi poured it into the alkaline water.

Then, Xu Yi took a stick and began to stir non-stop.

Lu Ke watched quietly on the side and didn't speak.

Xu Yi stirred for half an hour before stopping.

"Is this okay?" Lu Ke asked, feeling that when Xu Yi fell back, the bowl had already begun to solidify.

"Wait until it's completely solidified. Xu Yi stood up and put on his dried vest and coat.

"Don't you need to make it square?" Lu Ke leaned over and sniffed it, feeling that the taste was a little strange.

"There are no abrasives, so be it, this time I was supposed to try it and see if it would work. "Xu Yi thinks that my appearance doesn't matter, as long as I can use it.

"Yes, when it's successful, I'll just make an abrasive out of clay. As he spoke, Lu Ke smiled at Chu Yi.

The thatch in the house had dried a lot, and there was wood, so she continued to fasten the thatch to the tree sticks.

Chu Yi is also doing this job, after all, he hopes to get the shed in place tomorrow.

The two of them chatted while playing with the thatch.

After one night's work, Xu Yi finished the thatch with Lu Ke.

The next morning, Xu Yi woke up first.

After opening his eyes, he glanced at Lu Ke, who was sleeping next to him.

Last night, Lu Ke didn't sleep with Xu Yi in his arms, but his back kept leaning on Xu Yi.

Standing up, Xu Yi glanced at the sleeping Lu Ke, then stretched out his hand and touched her forehead.

There was no fever, and Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't feel any signs of fever when she pressed against him just now, he touched his forehead to make sure.

After knowing that Lu Ke did not have a fever, Xu Yi got up.

The rain was still going on outside, and there really wasn't any intention of stopping.

Pushing open the door, Xu Yi glanced outside.

The sky is still very dark, and today's rain is estimated to be the feeling of a day.

Picking up the pot, Xu Yi went to fetch the water and came back to boil.

When the water was about to boil, Lu Ke woke up.

"It's still raining?" Lu Ke rubbed his eyes and sat up.

"yes, it's still down. Xu Yi replied, and then added some mint leaves to the water.

Although Lu Ke did not have a fever, the rain was still falling, and the mint tea could still be drunk more.

Lu Ke puffed out his mouth, and then stood up.

After walking outside to take a look at the greenhouse, and after moving her body a little, she returned to the house.

"The temperature hasn't dropped, it's just that the rain doesn't stop. Lu Ke said helplessly, after all, no one can change the weather.

"yes, I messed up my plans. Xu Yi originally planned to make a bed in the next two days, but now the time is spent in the greenhouse.

"Okay, you wash up first, I've got all the water. With that, Chu Yi handed the charcoal powder to Lu Ke.

After washing, the two of them had breakfast.

After breakfast, Xu Yi continued to work.

The shed outside the house was already ready, so Lu Ke could help move the thatch outside to the greenhouse.

It took half a day's work to pave the roofs of the rest of the greenhouses.

Looking at the fruits of his and Lu Ke's labor, Xu Yi showed a smile.

However, it is also necessary to dig the drainage ditch near the greenhouse, so that the greenhouse will not be muddy.

"Xu Yi, what are you doing when you go out?" Lu saw that Xu Yi opened the door of the fence again, and couldn't help asking.

"The toilet hasn't been made yet, so I'm going to carry some pillars back and get the toilet too. "After all, this problem is also very realistic, it is convenient in the rain, it is really inconvenient.

Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi's back and felt that he was a little useless, he caught a cold so easily.

If you go out at this time, you will definitely be told by Xu Yi again.

So, she didn't follow her out as soon as her brain was hot.

She walked up to the kiln and checked the kiln.

It's full of water, but it's still very stable.

After cleaning up the earthen kiln, Lu Ke was ready to make some pottery.

Now that there is not enough firewood, it is definitely impossible to burn the kiln.

But it is still possible to make pottery embryos.

In short, she can't be idle. After all, Xu Yidu has been busy, why is she embarrassed not to work?

Also, Xu Yi said that he wanted to build a toilet and come out.

She wanted to see if she could get a pottery out of the squatting urinal.

If you do it successfully, you can make the toilet more hygienic.
