The oil is boiled out and placed in a clay pot for preservation.

Then he began to collect the ashes, put them in a wooden bucket, poured water 1.2 times the weight of the ashes into it, and began to stir. After the plant ash is thoroughly mixed in the water, the impurities on the top layer of the aqueous solution are removed, and then the aqueous solution is slowly poured into another wooden barrel.

After removing most of the impurities, Ding Qi cleaned the first wooden barrel and brought over a bamboo cartridge filter that filtered coarse salt, which was not used.

Next, the solution from the second barrel is poured into the filter and then into the first barrel below. After two filtration passes, the aqueous solution is basically cleaned up, leaving pure lye.

Once you do that, can you use it to make soap?

Ding Qi used to read a very best-selling Internet, in which the male protagonist counterattacked as a family member, among which he used soap making and soap as his family history, and finally hugged the beauty. It explains in detail how to make soap, and Ding Qi still remembers the plot in it.

If you want the quality of the finished product to be better, you must keep the concentration of the lye at a high level. Therefore, Tinch is ready to continue concentrating the solution.

The solution is simple, continue to heat and remove excess water until it can make a pheasant egg float on top of the solution, and then the goal is achieved.

After the appropriate lye is boiled, pour the grease from the clay pot into another heated clay pot, pour the lye into the grease while it is hot, and stir continuously until the grease is saponified and looks thick.

When doing these things, Ding Qi was very attentive, and he was not affected by the barbecue of the master master in the slightest, even if the barbecue was still that curious, Ding Qi didn't care about him.

Next, Ding Qi brought over a few wooden boxes, which Ding Qi made by himself when he was fine at night, and ran to Jing's carpenter shop to make them himself, adding up to a total of fifteen, which could basically fill all the soap in the clay pot.

Take out a clay spoon and fill the soap into each wooden box from the clay pot until it has cooled and let it sit for a while, then the soap cube is ready.

The process is not too complicated, mainly because it takes a little effort to refine the lye, and the rest is simple.

These are all experimental products made by Ding Qi, as for whether they are successful or not, and what the effect is, you can only know if you have used them.

However, at this stage, Ding Qi recalled that a soap factory was built in his village at that time, and a skilled worker from a soap factory came from outside, saying that as long as he gave money, he could teach more advanced techniques to the village. The village chief was very happy, and after collecting the money and handing it over to the other party, it didn't take long for the man to run away with the money, and he didn't teach the skills he had promised, and the villagers only learned a scratch. Eventually, the factory slowly closed down and became a pig farm.

Look at the finished product in front of me now, and think about that time, I can only say that ignorance is terrible!

Waiting for the soap to form, Ding Qi told the barbecue not to let people touch these things. Then he took the little cutie and went down the north and south streets to the rice fields.

Lately, Tinki has been busy in the tribe, and everyone else has been busy, and the time to spend with the little cutie has become very small. Including the withdrawn little gold, Ding Qi is also tossed back and forth by himself, not to mention the two bears.

When I came to the edge of the rice field, my eyes were full of gold. In the sunlight, the rice swaying in the wind gives off a fragrant smell of millet, indicating that they are about to ripen.

Ding Qi plucked an ear of rice, peeled off a few grains of grain, removed the outer husk, and gently pinched it with his fingers, the millet was very hard, leaving only a shallow nail mark. According to the performance of the ears of wheat before his previous harvest, Ding Qi judged that according to the current light, it would be fully ripe in two days. When it is fully ripe, you can wait another day or two for the harvest to be organized, and the tribe will start to be busy.

Ding Qi carefully observed, in fact, there are not too many grains on each ear of rice, far from the harvest scene on the ear of rice in the 21st century, and there can be grains in 70% of the places. And among these grains, about 10% of the deflated seeds will not sprout in the future.

Looking at it, although it is golden, there is still some distance between each bush of rice, and it is still not lush enough.

However, all this is not bad news for Dingqi, but good news. In the past, there were only five or six catties of rice, but this time when we harvest rice, we will harvest dozens or even hundreds of times the weight of rice. At that time, how many acres of rice will be planted next year? Dozens of acres? Or hundreds of acres? What about the third year? I'm afraid I can't even calculate it!

Moreover, Zhuang also exchanged a lot of rice from the Centipede tribe, which is also the source of rice cultivation, and he can also find seeds from them in large quantities in the future. Of course, the tribes on the Black Water Ze will also provide a lot of seeds, and when the time comes, the best of the best will definitely be cultivated.

After seeing the rice, Ding Qi came to the two fields of millet and soybeans. The soybean leaves have begun to turn yellow, but it will take about half a month before they are fully ripe, and the millet is about the same. When the time comes, we will certainly be able to harvest a lot of seeds from these two grain crops, and we will be able to expand their reproduction next year.

Not to mention those peppers planted next to the millet will have a bumper harvest.

Ding Qi was in pain and happy, so many peppers, its population size expanded, Ding Qi was happy. But next year, the food crops and these vegetables will expand many times, and he is a little worried that there will not be enough land around him to grow.

This can be said to be the trouble of happiness! It seems that Ding Qi has to plan the surrounding land carefully. The pasture below the slope is reserved for the horses and livestock of the tribe, and cannot be developed into a field. If you want to reclaim a large area of land, you can only choose to develop east and north. Or, choose the location further west of the Wild Horse Valley, and open up Lu Village, Tong Village, Yan Village and other places to grow more food crops.

To the east, one is a large and wide area outside the corner where Ding Qi stood before entering this area, which is suitable for reclamation into dry land, and can directly reach the area around the Hope Slope, which is close to the tribe and can be developed first. The second is that a large area from Yucun to the east and south can also be reclaimed into dry land, and this pioneer warrior must be stationed there.

To the north, that is, to the north of the mountain behind Ningcheng, now the tribe has not investigated in that direction for the time being, and I don't know what it will look like behind the mountain. When the snow melts next year, you can look over and see if there are any resources that will benefit your tribe.

To the east of Tongcun, until the large area of Nanhu, Ding Qi heard Ben's report. He reported to Ding Qi the environment he saw in those places where Bai Fang passed, and Ding Qi immediately thought that the South Lake could be used as a place to grow a large number of rice.

With a plan in his mind, Ding Qi's troubles just now have disappeared, replaced by strong self-confidence and wildly expanding ambitions.

When the sky darkened, the little cutie next to him screamed, signaling that Ding Qi should go back. Ding Qi didn't think about this anymore, got up and walked towards Ning Chengzhong.

In the cafeteria, there are already people who have returned from work early and are queuing up to eat. The tribe used the university cafeteria to sell rice, providing each member with a separate tray on which to put a bowl of meat and a bowl of soup, or to improve the type of food. These foods are enough for everyone to eat, except for some special people such as Xiong Ruzhuang and others.

The number of trays is not much, but it is enough for people who come to eat in batches. As for the dishes and chopsticks, everyone keeps them by themselves and will not mix them with others, which is a tribal rule that Ding Qi has arranged for a long time. The meal sharing system, Ding Qi wants to continue to implement it. But he understands that infectious diseases, or epidemics, are likely to knock down a large group of people and never even get up again.

Of course, members of the Tribal Elders and the Medics are exempt from this restriction, and everyone has no problem with this. They have long been accustomed to the meal sharing system, and they can eat these fragrant foods until now, and it is too late to be happy, how can they have opinions?

Pinch the soap that is drying, it is smooth to the touch, hard and hard without deformation. Ding Qi couldn't help but have a satisfied smile on his face, the first time he made soap, he was able to complete it successfully, which made him feel incredible. Of course, this is to be expected, after all, a lot of preparation has been done. Moreover, in the primitive society, the quality of this plant ash must be excellent, so that the animal oil can be treated, otherwise the finished product may be soft and unformed soap.

Ding Qi put all the soap into a bamboo plaque and prepared to take it back to his small courtyard to continue the experiment. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the cafeteria, and it seemed that someone was making a loud noise, saying why it stinked.

Soon, there was a circle of people around. It seems that it is human nature to watch the excitement, and there is no shortage of people who eat melons anywhere. Although the tribe now has a drama performance every five days, and everyone can accept some new things, this mentality of watching the excitement will never change, and this is the talk of their daily life.

Ding Qi was also a little curious, because he was also an ordinary person, not to mention that this was his tribe, and he still had to find out what was going on in the tribe. It's just that there is a stench of sludge in the air, indicating that this happened next to the tribal drain.

Due to the dimness of the sky, the people next to Ding Qi did not notice that the tribal leader was beside him, and they all stuck their heads out to look at the place. After a while, someone shouted:

"The dung fork has been brought over, let me go!"

Suddenly, the crowd parted, and a man ran over with a fork on his shoulder, and handed the fork in his hand to one of the people inside, as if he was afraid of delaying that person's work. Someone next to him lit a torch, and the surroundings suddenly lit up. And the person who held the torch also revealed his identity, which was the master of the canteen.

Seeing this, Ding Qi guessed that it was estimated that the sewer was blocked here. Then the only solution is to open the sewer and remove the debris underneath, and the sewer will become smooth.

Soon, the man with the fork cleared some of the dirt out of the sewer, and the people around him immediately retreated with a shout. Ding Qi took the opportunity to go to the dirt and saw most of the food waste. The people in the cafeteria did not deal with it properly and threw it directly into the drain, causing congestion in the drain.

"It seems that it is necessary to implement garbage classification management in the tribe!"

Ding Qi didn't care about any of this, got up and pulled the barbecue to take him out of the cafeteria, and came to the main square, where he sat down to understand the situation. After a while, Elder Bucks and Deputy Leader Ben were also brought here.

Ding Qi asked:

"This phenomenon has happened a few times, and judging by how skilled you were just now, you should have exercised a lot."

"Hehe, the leader is a true god! There have been no less than five cases of water gushing out of the sewers, and each time the water bubbles, several helpers in the canteen will come out with a fork to clean it up. So, they're all skilled. ”

"Hmmm! You're doing a good job, but have you found the root cause of the problem? ”

Ding Qi didn't want to be verbose, so he pointed to the crux of the problem and saw if the barbecue master realized where the problem was. As for Ben and Elder Bucks, who were eager to try, Ding Qi just nodded and signaled not to let them speak.

The barbecue scratched his head, thought carefully for a while, lowered his head and said:

"Boss, I'm stupid. Tell me why? ”

Seeing that he really couldn't speak, Ding Qi stopped selling Guan Zi and said directly:

"Garbage sorting! The garbage in the tribe is not sorted, and it is discharged indiscriminately, resulting in your old sewer blockage! ”
