I slept very hard last night, maybe I was really tired, and this should be the result of my body being constantly overdrawn. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The wound is not as painful as before, it is a little better, I still continue to use the powder, and the swollen skin of the wound is slowly starting to subside, which is really good news for me.

The sound of the tree house outside came to my ears, and I didn't have to think that it must be raining.

I'm used to it, it rains here every three days, and I hate going out on a rainy day the most, I take the homemade sausage under the eaves into the house, although it doesn't rain, but I'm afraid that the humid air will ruin it, and it makes me feel more at ease indoors.

This kind of rainy day makes me full of tiredness, which Xiao Hei is very similar to me.

As soon as it got up, it came to the door and looked through the crack in it, and then returned to its nest, drooped its ears, and began to sleep on its stomach.

Of course, I can't go out, but there are still a lot of things to do.

The smoked meat I tried to make last night has been hanging all night, and I don't know if it worked.

This undoubtedly made me look forward to it, and when I came to the lower level, I saw that the outer layer of the hanging pork had dried up, and I thought it should be considered a success, after all, there was no burnt, I had never made smoked meat, this was my first attempt, so I was very satisfied with the result.

I had the impression that smoked meat was supposed to be marinated, but I didn't have much seasoning to marinate, I just rubbed some salt and soy sauce on these pieces of meat.

I don't have an idea of when they will be done, but as long as they can be eaten, they won't deteriorate, and they won't spoil.

Just as I was about to turn around and go back to the upper floor to eat a few wild fruits for breakfast, the few pieces of wild boar fat that had been placed aside caught my attention, and a whim came to my mind.

These lard were originally left by me to prepare for boiling, some time ago, the lack of fat made me very miserable when I was large, because the lard can be stored for a long time, so I am ready to boil out these lard as a reserve for stir-fried bibimbap in the future.

But just now, I suddenly had an idea, "Candle!" and I wanted to try making a candle out of pork!

Lighting things, in addition to the fire now, there is also the flashlight left by the previous person, but this thing is used less than once, so I am still reluctant to use that flashlight.

When I was a child, candles were something that was often used in the house, and there were often power outages, and almost every household would always have candles, all I knew was that it had a very simple structure, only one wick was waxed, but I didn't have either of these things.

Of course, if you don't have it, you have to create, or find a replacement.

I knew that the wick had to be flammable and burn-resistant, otherwise the candle was doomed to fail.

Of course, I have already thought of alternatives, and the cotton thread used to hold the inner core in the futon is my best choice.

I just had to cut some of them, rub them together, and knead a few cotton threads together, which didn't take much time.

Another time-consuming alternative is something I'm starting to make right now.

After chopping the boar fat, I threw it into the pot and began to boil the oil.

As soon as the grease is slightly heated in the pan, the lard begins to overflow, and rows of small bubbles begin to bubble up at the bottom of the pan.

I didn't dare to use too much fire, for fear of spilling it out, and for fear that the grease would burn off, so I kept the pot as far away from the fire as possible.

In the process of boiling the oil, the fragrance jumped around, and lo and behold, Xiao Hei was lured over again......

This aroma covers the flavor of meat, umami, and the slightly burnt aroma similar to that of the pot.

Just smell it vigorously and you will feel this oily, crispy sensation in the air.

Xiao Hei had already been comforted by me, lying on the dry pyre not far away, watching seriously.

As the oil continued to overflow, the oil was also swirling and shrinking, crumpled, and the color gradually turned from white to dark, and finally turned into a small dark brown mass, floating on the oil surface one by one, continuing to tumble and bubble.

"Yes, that's fine!" I put the pan down when I saw the grease turn dark.

Luckily, my left hand had recovered a bit, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do it.

I used chopsticks to put all the oil residue into a bowl and divided it into two portions.

I would never waste these things, I might have discarded them for my health in the past, but now, these greases are a rare delicacy!

After setting the pot aside, I pinched some grains of salt and dried them evenly on top of the grease.

One plate was given to Xiao Hei, who had performed well, and one plate was left for me to enjoy.

Picking up a piece of oil with salt particles hanging on the surface, putting it in my mouth and chewing it carefully is a taste of my childhood, and even reminds me of the past.

Each chew can have a different taste, the first time you can feel its crispiness, the second time, the residual oil overflows, full of meaty flavor, and the third time......

Because most of the oil has been boiled out, you don't have a particularly greasy feeling at all.

As soon as I tasted four, Little Black started coming over and licking his lips and began begging me to give me more.

I couldn't help it, although I couldn't bear it a little, but I still gave it the rest.

But then things started to deviate from what I had thought.

My previous idea was very simple, lard will solidify and harden when it cools, so I prepared a basin of water, stirred the kneaded candle wick in the lard that was still hot, and put it in the prepared cold water, and the lard instantly solidified when it met the cold water.

But it didn't take long for me to run into trouble.

The first is that although the wick can gather some lard, it is still too soft, so it keeps bending and cannot be straightened.

The second, this process that keeps repeating itself is too wasteful, and there is already a lot of low lard on the basin that has solidified and floated on the water.

There is a third one, and even if it is done, I don't think this pot of lard will be able to make a few sticks, and it won't take long to make one......

So in the end, after some trade-offs, I gave up on this option.

Of course, I didn't give up, I had another idea.

I took a can I had picked up, cut off the top part of it, put one end of the cotton thread that I had used as the wick of the candle in it, and put the other end on the outside of the can, and I poured some lard into it.

Finally, I carefully picked up the jar and placed it in a basin with cold water to solidify.

……

After about an hour, the lard finally solidified, and I was very nervous, I was afraid of failure.

I took a burning twig and set the cotton thread on fire with trembling hands.

My breathing stopped......

Looking forward to being able to burn......
