Chapter 468: Coconut Soap

The video connection is connected.

A professor in a white coat placed a pile of experimental equipment in front of the experimental table, explaining while operating: "We copied the salt production procedure of the Chinese team, and the general process is as follows: the first step is to crystallize as much sodium salt in the soil as possible through the potassium ions in the plant ash, and leave most of the calcium salt and magnesium salt in the salt soil through substitution;

"The second step is to fire the seaweed to obtain a sodium carbonate solution;"

"The third step is to burn the shells to obtain calcium oxide;"

"The fourth step, calcium oxide is added to water to become calcium hydroxide;"

"In the fifth step, calcium hydroxide is added to sodium carbonate to obtain sodium hydroxide;"

"Step 6, remove the residual magnesium ions in the saturated brine with sodium hydroxide;"

"Step 7, remove residual calcium ions by sodium carbonate;"

"The eighth step is to use the protein complexation that occurs when the soybean milk encounters salt to remove the suspended solids and impurities in the suspension;"

"In the ninth step, most of the sodium chloride is precipitated by heating and crystallization, leaving sodium sulfate and part of the sodium chloride solution. ”

Bell: "......"

Lune: "......"

Ion: "......"

Bell: "I'm a soldier...... Lune, do you understand?"

Lune: "Generally things that I can't understand or understand, I classify them as magic, isn't it simple?"

Nian: "Uh, okay! Anyway, it's the magician Jungle of the Chinese team, who extracted refined salt from the seawater, uh, and what kind of solution, congratulations to the Chinese team!"

……

After dinner, Li Junge and Ayin continued to boil various solutions, and got a pound of miscanthus nitrate, a pound of sodium hydroxide is caustic soda, and a pound of sodium carbonate is soda.

At the same time, the lime paste is dried dry.

After a night without a word, and when she got up early the next morning, Ayin took out the bamboo tube from the heat insulation ditch and cut it open, and in the middle of the bamboo tube was a crystal yellow, almost transparent substance, coconut soap.

Li Junge was stunned when he looked at such a soap: "This looks a bit tall......"

Ayin smiled: "Coconut oil, I have never used such a high-grade grease to make homemade soap, you smell it, there is a faint fragrance." ”

Li Junge took it in his hand and looked at it lovingly: "It's really a good thing......

Ayin said, "You have to take it all out and cut it into soap cubes, otherwise it will become very hard." ”

The soap was taken out, and the piece near the eye of the fire became very dark and no longer transparent.

Ayin said in annoyance, "Ouch, this piece has failed!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "You can't judge success or failure by appearance, we are talking about using it now, you just say that this piece can still wash clothes?"

Ayin smiled: "This is no problem. ”

Li Junge laughed: "Then this tube belongs to me!"

After breakfast, Li Junge went to dismantle the trap and at the same time let go of another strange crab.

Then come back to clean up the harvest on the seashore in the past few days, not to mention the water tank bucket basket, syrup, desiccated coconut, grease, knives, drills, chisels, salt, soap, miscanthus salt, baking soda, lime, these are the most important things.

Things are really not young and old, and they can be regarded as full loaded.

After cleaning the grounds and packing up their things, the two prepared to return to the camp in the mountains.

Before leaving, Li Junge pulled out the chimney of the dragon kiln, scraped a bag of cigarette ash, took the dried bamboo to build a shed, covered the entire dragon kiln, put the salt pan in, spread palm leaves, covered the soil and wrapped it into a small soil bag, and then put palm leaves on the waterproof, dug a drainage ditch around the soil bag, and tried to protect this place, in case there is a need to continue to use.

Don't care about anything else, use the two water tanks as baskets first, well, in fact, they were baskets a few days ago, pick up the most important things and carry them back to the camp first.

When he got home and put his things down, Li Junge didn't rest at all, and climbed onto the roof again and began to lay grass to protect the mud stalk ridge.

Ah Yin was not idle, after the things were placed, he took out the newly woven basket, inserted a mat on one side, put a small wooden frame in the frame, set up a small wooden ladder, moved a few stones and put them inside to press the weight, made a tripping bucket and began to stumble and collect hemp seeds.

After Li Junge finished laying the roof, he came down and took off the hemp rod that had taken off the pockmarks and tied it into a few fork-headed brooms, went to the well to pick up water four times, filled the two water tanks, and by the way, took out a catfish and cleaned it up and said to Ayin: "Hey, hey, now there is oil and salt, let's eat grilled fish tonight!"

After saying that, he picked up the basket and went to dig termite nests in the forest.

The termite nest was carried back with a basket, the mud was crushed, sifted, sprinkled with lime powder to adjust the PH value, hammered, kneaded, and made into several embryos of mud squares, which were put into resin barrels for aging.

After washing your hands, cut the catfish into pieces and taste it with wild onions, minced ginger and salt.

I poured some oil into the bowl, pricked a wild onion handle, and took a knife to cut off the part that was bent on one side, and I got a brush with which I could brush the oil.

These little wisdom tips for life, Li Junge has seen too much with his grandmother.

Then he boiled a tank of water and beckoned Ayin to come over and grill fish to eat.

Ah Yin had already finished putting away the pockmarks, put the hemp poles away, and was sweeping the floor with a broom, and came over and said with a smile: "Oh, this is too much of a waste of time, two people spend a meal here." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "Today is the last day of the holiday, let's have a good meal, don't delay, and discuss things." ”

Ah Yin took the fish from Li Junge's hand and grilled it, and said, "What are you discussing?"

Li Junge said: "Now that the tools are complete, discuss what to do first and then what to do." ”

Ayin thought for a while and said, "The hemp should be almost soaked, it's time to wash and comb." ”

Li Junge said: "Well, the pot is gone, it needs to be redone, and there are kettles, soup pots, salt pots, oil pots, ......"

Ayin said: "There are still more things, it's time to make a shelf for storage." ”

Li Junge said: "Now that there is a blade, the raw lacquer can also be put away." ”

Ayin said: "Before the hemp is dried, you have to get out the comb that combs the linen, as well as the spindle. ”

Li Junge smiled: "Leave these to me." ”

This meal is so fragrant, the catfish is brushed with oil, and the aroma is fragrant, Ayin spread lemongrass mint on the plate, put the grilled catfish pieces on the plate, and handed the chopsticks to Li Junge with a bamboo stick.

Li Junge looked at the bamboo stick and said, "These chopsticks are ugly enough, I will make serious chopsticks first." ”

After eating grilled fish, Li Junge added some white grass roots, a little dried mint leaves, and a little banana syrup to the bamboo trough and said: "Eating grilled fish in summer is easy to get on fire, so let's have some grass root mint tea to relieve the heat." ”

The bearded and mustaches who could see the shooting looked at each other, these two male and female!

After eating, Li Junge began to use a knife to cut fine bamboo filaments, and now that there are knives, some light and thin bamboo utensils can be put on the agenda.

For example, hats.

The weaving hat had to start from the tip of the hat, Li Junge asked Ah Yin to watch from the side, found two bamboo nails, tied bamboo wires, and drew two concentric circles on the ground.

The inner circle is the size of the head, and the outer circle is the outer diameter of the hat.

Turn out a half of the large coconut shell brought back from the seaside, buckle it on a small circle, start with three bamboo strips, slowly add bamboo strips, first weave the head arc, and then step on the strips on the ground, bend the bamboo strips and weave them with each other.

The next thing is mechanical operation, after Ayin learned, Li Junge asked her to try to make up this part of the plane.

Then Li Junge went to concoct another one in the same way,

Weaving four heads on the ground and leaving the rest of the work to Ayin, Li Junge began to make pottery.

The old way, spread the mat, cut the compass to the bottom, and pile the mud strips on the side of the pot.

With knives and old bamboo, Li Junge cut out a set of processing tools this time, from the wooden mallet for beating mud, to various types of bamboo knives with various arcs, and the pot made is much better than the last time, and the bottom is even repaired with a regular and smooth arc.

While waiting for the side of the pot to dry, Li Junge began to make other pottery.

Including two soup pots and three jars, they are all made by the pasting method of making water cups, which is much faster than making pots.

Also use two thin pieces of mud to stick together with mud, while it is not completely dry to one place, take a compass to cut out two concentric circles, the bottom is large and the top is small, the radius of the large circle is slightly larger than the outside of the jar, and the radius of the small circle is slightly smaller than the inside of the jar, which is a lid with a groove.

Take bamboo nails at both ends of the center of the lid to turn four eyes, and when the time comes, you can weave a cross button by wearing bamboo silk.

I made a small muddy water cake on a square bamboo stick, and in the middle of the bamboo stick was a square hole, which was Ayin's spindle.

When everything was done, three or four hours had passed, and Ayin had also made up the four hats.

However, it is just made up of the shape, and the strips are still stretched out in a mess, and they also need to be clamped with bamboo leaves and locked edges.

After doing this, Li Junge sent the pottery to the fire pond to bake, thought about it, found a water tank, smeared the inner layer with lime mud, adjusted some caustic soda, poured it in after clarification, found some waste bamboo meat that had been used before, removed the knotted parts, cut it into fine wires and soaked it.

Then I went to rest with Ayin.

……

Early the next morning, Li Junge got up early and polished the mud embryo.

After thinking about it, he turned over the pot and basin, found the center of the circle, drew a circle with a bamboo nail compass, nailed the compass to the arc, and used the other foot to make a mark on the arc, and in this way, the circle was divided into six equal parts with a compass.

Then I made three small clay chips, not high, about five millimeters, and glued the mud to the small cross drawn on the arc, and glued one after another, and the mud nails were distributed into a standard equilateral triangle.

Scrape the clay pieces round, treat the clay pot in the same way, wait until the mud feet are dry and dry, and make a fire to burn the pottery.

With these three shallow mud feet, even if the table top is uneven, it can be held securely.

Ayin also got up, took the big mallet, and went to the lake to wash the good linen skin.

In the process of firing pottery, Li Junge began to make storage racks.

Take some dried bamboo, Li Junge took a ruler to draw on the bamboo, the truncation of the truncated, the saw hole of the saw hole.

In the middle, remove the kiln fire, and then come back to build a shelf with a mallet.

After the shelves were set up, Li Junge put the shelves in the bamboo building, and the wooden sticks that had been cut in half when they were still alive before were put up, and the flat one was facing up.

Then take four bamboo sticks and clamp the wooden sticks to expose the two ends of the shelf, and the rattan is wrapped around the ends of the bamboo sticks, and a stable platform is built.

A shelf with five layers of boards, which can put a lot of things.

Put three barrels of aged mud at the bottom and press the warehouse by the way.

The second and third floors are filled with pottery.

The fourth and fifth floors are still empty, and Li Junge plans to use it to put pottery embryos in the future.

Clapping his hands with satisfaction, Li Junge began to go back to inspect the pottery.

The pottery was carefully taken out, the sand was wiped off, and Li Junge brought water to scrub it.

Looking at my craft, I feel more and more satisfied.

The mud spit out by termites is much more delicate than that they dig up on their own.

After grinding the straw, Li Junge was very satisfied, and he was a little reluctant to open the pot directly.

With an idea, Li Junge carried a bamboo shovel and ran to the forest below the mountain to dig out the taro.

The taro is quite large, a big head has a pound or two, and there are many small taro bumps around.
