Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 670 Quicklime

Although, she can no longer enjoy this treasure alone.

However, she knew the identity of this treasure very well.

If you want to be a concubine, just be a concubine. Even if you are a concubine, it will be extremely valuable in the future.

She would never insult her status as a subjugated princess.

Dong Shuzhen was very satisfied with Kou Wanwan's performance, so the two women had no reason to fight among themselves, and both looked at Zhu Xiuyuan aside, waiting for him to make the next arrangement.

The two women were in high spirits, energetic and full of energy.

Dong Shuzhen even rolled up her sleeves, revealing a wrist as white as jade, vowing to do a big job.

Zhu Xiuyuan held the small bowl full of coarse salt in both hands, and met the eyes of the two women. He felt the enthusiasm of the two women, as well as their expectation, encouragement and enthusiasm.

Stimulated by this, Zhu Xiuyuan could not help but correct his attitude.

He threw away his playfulness mentality and worked hard to give the process of purifying coarse salt a try.

He straightened his body, straightened his chest, and moved his gaze slowly, from the brine pool, to the earthen stove, to the endless sea, and finally, he looked in the direction of the cave.

When Zhu Xiuyuan was looking around, the two women couldn't help but rotate and look around as if they had "tracking motors" installed on their necks.

When Zhu Xiuyuan moved his neck, their necks moved accordingly. The "delay" between the two was very small and could almost be ignored.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes flickered, and while turning his neck, he was also thinking about the steps and preparations for purifying coarse salt.

But the gazes of the two women showed a kind of bewilderment, they didn't know what Zhu Xiuyuan was looking around at all.

"Pack up our things and let's go back to the cave first. There is clear water and firewood there. It will be very convenient to purify coarse salt there!" Zhu Xiuyuan finally said.

"Oh, alright!"

The two women immediately came back from their daze, scrambling to pack up all kinds of tools without Zhu Xiuyuan's intervention.

All he had to do was hold the small bowl filled with coarse salt.

After quickly packing up, the three of them returned to the open space in front of the cave.

"Husband, what are you going to do next? Do you want to dig a hole?" In order to be the first, Dong Shuzhen picked up the rusty shovel.

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at the faces of the two women. Both women looked tense, excited, and eager to accept the "mission" from him.

Zhu Xiuyuan was very pleased and felt warm in his heart. He liked such active, proactive and selfless "underlings".

"First step, I need charcoal. Which of you can make charcoal?"

Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes wandered over the faces of the two women, and finally stopped at Kou Wanwan's face.

He knew very well the details of Dong Shuzhen. How could she make any kind of charcoal? She was pretty good at making charcoal.

But Kou Wanwan is different. Although she comes from an extraordinary background, her experience is very complicated. Maybe she knows how to make charcoal.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking, Kou Wanwan said: "Master, when I was in central Guizhou, I saw others making charcoal, but I have never tried it myself. I think there should be no problem."

"Okay, then this task is..."

He was about to entrust this task to Kou Wanwan, but suddenly it occurred to him that the assignment of the task in front of the beach just now led to a cold fight between the two women.

Assigning different tasks can easily provoke conflicts between the two women, which is inappropriate.

Furthermore, making charcoal should be a manual job, and it would be too slow if done by one person.

So Zhu Xiuyuan immediately changed his mind: "Let's make charcoal together first!"

Kou Wanwan naturally had no objection.

Dong Shuzhen, on the other hand, secretly pursed her lips.

She was secretly annoyed that she couldn't make charcoal, and vowed in her heart that if she had the chance in the future, she would learn how to make charcoal.

However, although Dong Shuzhen felt unhappy, she also had a sense of proportion at this time.

If you make a fuss about this matter, it may delay your husband's important affairs, so she endured and remained silent.

The plan was decided, and the three of them set off together.Fortunately, the cave is surrounded by dense jungle with lush vegetation, covering the sky and the sun.

The sun's rays can't even shine through.

The ground is covered with weeds and rarely sees sunlight all year round.

The three of them walked for a while in the virgin forest-like woods, and soon Kou Wanwan found a tree suitable for burning charcoal.

Ever since, Kou Wanwan performed a drama of "cutting branches with a dagger" for Zhu Xiuyuan.

Dong Shuzhen did not lag behind, and gave him a performance of "splitting branches with bare hands".

The two women were eager to express themselves, scrambling to climb on the big tree, flying up and down, like two female monkeys.

Soon, there was a pile of branches on the ground, which was enough.

The three of them worked together, dragged enough branches, and returned to the open space in front of the cave. The two women started to briefly repair the branches so that they could be fired directly.

Light a fire, stack branches, and seal with mud...

After finishing their work, the two women's faces were covered with sweat.

Although Zhu Xiuyuan didn't do much, he was still sweating.

The three of them sat and rested for a while before the sweat drained off their faces.

"Husband, what are you going to do next? Kou Wanwan said that it will take some time until the charcoal firing is completed." Dong Shuzhen couldn't wait any longer.

"Next, let's go find the rocks..." Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"Looking for rocks?" The two women were surprised and confused.

They didn't know that Zhu Xiuyuan was making charcoal and looking for stones. What did this have to do with purifying coarse salt?
"Let's go to the beach. Remember there are many rocks there. We should be able to find a suitable one." Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and took the lead.

The two women scratched their foreheads, looking confused, but they quickly followed, and no one asked what they were looking for.

Near the beach, there are indeed all kinds of stones, including the limestone Zhu Xiuyuan needs.

The two strong women worked together and easily carried a large stone back.

After going back and waiting for a while, the charcoal was finished burning, so the three of them removed the mud seal and let it sit for a while to let it dissipate heat.

Then, Zhu Xiuyuan went on a mission and commanded the two "female generals" around.

They first dug a simple earth stove, put the stones in it, and after the charcoal cooled slightly, they took it out and lit it to calcine the limestone...

That's right, Zhu Xiuyuan and the two women have been busy for a long time, making charcoal and looking for big rocks. He actually just wanted to get some quicklime.

Only then did the two women suddenly realize that Zhu Xiuyuan wanted to bake quicklime.

Quicklime is a relatively common thing nowadays.

I remember that when he was fighting the plague in Jiangzhou, Zhu Xiuyuan burned a large amount of quicklime for disinfection.

The Dong Mansion had also used it extensively, so Dong Shuzhen knew there was such a thing as quicklime.

Kou Wanwan is well-informed and naturally knows about quicklime.

Quicklime can be used as a weapon, sprinkled into the enemy's eyes, and generate heat when it meets the water in the eyes, thus achieving the effect of burning the enemy's eyes.

A few dozen days ago, Zhu Xiuyuan developed a new weapon called "Thunderbolt Bullet" after spending dozens of days researching in Shenleifang.

It can actually be called a "lime bomb", and its principle is to burn the enemy's eyes, thereby achieving the purpose of destroying the enemy.

Now, when Zhu Xiuyuan was purifying coarse salt, he also calcined some quicklime first...

Quicklime seems to be a good thing with endless uses!

During the process of calcining the limestone, Zhu Xiuyuan ordered the two women to use copper basins to fill the clear stream water and mix it with coarse salt to make
A copper basin of coarse salt solution.
