"Ma Lang, I got honey! I've got honey! ”

A little fat man ran in panting, but how did this voice sound weird, Ma Qiang looked at it, I'll go for it, this head of things is really Yueyang?

"Poof! Yue Yang, how did you become like this! Lu Qingcheng looked at Yue Yang and laughed, Yue Yang crooked his mouth and grinned coldly, and said, "I'm here to make honey, Ma Lang, you see, it's all honey." ”

Yue Yang said and took out a jar, not only honey in the jar, but most of the hive was dragged down, Ma Qiang could also see several bees moving in the honey flowing out of the hive, and a baby bee who didn't know what was going on was sticking out his head and looking around.

"Didn't I ask you to leash the hides and make honey? How did you become like this? Ma Qiang lightly touched the bag on Yue Yang's head, and Yue Yang grinned in pain.

"I used it at first, and I used smoke, but I didn't expect that these bees actually killed a horse pistol, Qingcheng, you help me take a look, it hurts me to death." Yue Yang said as he crooked his mouth and kept gasping.

“... Next time I'll tell you how to keep bees, Uncle Guo just happened to be boiling medicine in it, you go in and let him take a look. ”

Ma Qiang shook his head and asked Yue Yang to go to Guo Ping to heal his injuries, at this time Guo Jin was still stirring, and the glycerin couldn't be made for a while, Ma Qiang simply went to Qingcheng to see how the toothbrush was doing.

When I looked at it, I saw that there was already a row of toothbrushes on the side.

"How? This toothbrush is doing a good job, right? Lu Qingcheng took a toothbrush and handed it to Ma Qiang, Ma Qiang tried to pluck the hair of the toothbrush, and found that it was very strong, and pressed it again, full of elasticity without stinging.

"Lu Yun deliberately dulled all the hairs to make sure there would be no stinging sensation."

Ma Qiang looked at Lu Yun seriously, this little girl who doesn't like to talk, her heart is really the same as what Lu Qingcheng said, extremely delicate.

"Good! This toothbrush is considered a success, mint and honeysuckle should be almost boiled, green orange, you go and get it, and then we will make the accessories. ”

Before Ma Qiang finished speaking, he heard Yue Yang screaming in pain in the room, thinking that he was being stabbed by Guo Ping.

After a while, two cans of boiled medicinal juice were taken out by Lu Qingcheng, and she smiled as she walked, "The appearance of Yueyang being plucked out is so funny, by the way, Brother Xiaoma, you said before that you can raise bees?" How do you keep this bee? ”

Ma Qiang took some of the medicinal juice from each of the two jars and poured it into a small bowl, and then said, "Bees are also animals, pigs and dogs are also animals, pigs and dogs can be raised, why can't bees be raised?"

To raise bees, you must first prepare a hive, and then let the bees nest in the hive, but more importantly, there must be a flower source, otherwise just like you raise a cow without grass for him to eat, there are more bees without nectar to eat, and you will starve to death. ”

In later generations, bees need to catch flowers and run all over the country. Wherever the flowers bloom, take the bees with them. Of course, it is also possible not to rush the flowers, so that the bees can eat white sugar water, that is, sucrose water, when there is no nectar to eat.

In fact, most of the captive bees in later generations ate sucrose water for the winter.

But in this era, there is no cane sugar, and if a large number of bees are artificially raised, a large number of bees will have to starve to death in winter.

That's why ancient honey is always a treasure.

In ancient times, it was too difficult to collect honey by hand.

The excipients are mint, honeysuckle, and salt.

"Ma Lang, take a look, it seems that there is a reaction to what you said."

Guo Jin stretched out his hand to Ma Qiang and shouted.

Ma Qiang walked over to take a look and found that by stirring, the liquid at this time appeared milky white, which was a saponification reaction.

"Okay, keep stirring, you can rest for a while when you're tired and then stir, you don't need to keep stirring."

Since the alkalinity of the ash water of the plants and trees is really uncertain, what kind of product will come out of the saponification this time, Ma Qiang himself has no bottom in his heart.

Of course, the first choice is the Hou's alkali making method, but the premise of such an industrial production method is ammonia and carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide can be obtained by calcining limestone, but ammonia can be obtained in large quantities on a high chemical industry basis.

Historically, it was not until before World War I that humans had the ability to produce ammonia industrially.

Ma Qiang looked at the best experimental tools in his hand now, that is, wooden barrels and wrought iron stoves, which are about two thousand years of scientific and technological development history from World War I, so he didn't think about it for now.

The saponification time takes about an hour, and with this time, Ma Qiang asked Lu Qingcheng to prepare a few molds, which are not too complicated, just a box spliced together by five wooden boards.

When the saponification reaction was almost over, Ma Qiang asked Guo Jin to carefully scrape out the gray-yellow semi-solid turbidity floating on the upper layer and put it in the mold until it was scraped to the waste liquid.

"Wow, there's more grease!" Lin Zhi shouted excitedly, and the others were also amazed at the result as if it was magic, why did it become so much when there was only a small jar of grease before?

"It's not grease, it's soap when it's cured, and we can't eat it, but it can wash our clothes." Ma Qiang explained.

"Huh~~ That clothes must not smell of grease." Lin Zhi shouted with some disgust.

... Do you think you smell good right now?

Ma Qiang twitched the corners of his mouth, but he did feel that he could optimize it again.

"It's almost noon, let's eat first." Ma Qiang proposed.

"Eat? Do you have to eat at noon? Liu Hui was still baking light calcium carbonate, and couldn't help but turn around when she heard it.

By the way, most people in this era had two meals a day, and three meals a day would not gradually appear until the Song Dynasty, but even in the Qing Dynasty's "Dream of Red Mansions", you can still see the description of two meals a day.

"When you're full, you have the strength to work." Ma Qiang, who is accustomed to three meals a day, had no choice but to do it in the mountains, but now that he has a little condition, he naturally wants to have lunch.

"Are you going to eat?" Yue Yang's head didn't know when it came out, "It turns out that you can have lunch here, I knew I was coming in the morning." ”

It turns out that because building a house is heavy physical work, three meals a day are provided on the construction site.

"Eat, the account is in my name, and when the toothpaste is sold, I will pay." Ma Qiang waved his hand, and a boss who would not be in debt was not a good boss.

Although Sister-in-law Guo and Sister-in-law Lin both said that they couldn't accept Ma Qiang's money, Ma Qiang still asked Lu Qinglime to write down the account.

After all, this is not a day to eat, but may take more than half a month.

The rice eaten is wheat rice, that is, steamed wheat, and now there is such food as bread, but the bread is made of refined grains, and most of the people still eat wheat rice.

This is Ma Qiang's first time eating wheat rice, his first night in Dasong Village is barbecue, the morning is millet porridge, this wheat rice for the first time I eat it still feels very fresh, the dishes are woad and leeks, woad is actually cabbage, and there are some bear meat soup, which is already extremely rich.
