Chapter 116 Failure (2)
As expected, the little female almost clapped her hands happily: "Okay, okay, since this is the case, let's hurry up, now enough, let's burn it."

Find a few handfuls of dry grass as a kindling, and after lighting it with flint, lead the fire to the haystack they collected. Not all the haystacks in this haystack are dry grass and branches, and some are wet, so a puff of thick smoke is Then it came out, seeing the fire rising, knowing that it was going to burn for a while, Liu Shu took good fire prevention measures around it, fortunately, there would be no fire behavior in the current weather.

"It's going to burn for a while, let's go back first, and come back later." Liu Shu pulled La Kaixi and said.

"En." Seeing that this is indeed the case, Casey nodded in agreement: "Then go back."

When the two came back after one, two, ten minutes, the pile of grass blades had long been burned to ashes, and the surrounding area was covered with traces of burning. Pay attention, but most of the orcs have gone out, and when a few females saw it, they called the older Ah Mo to come and have a look.

When Liu Shu and Casey were packing up the ashes and putting them into animal skin bags, someone came over.

"Liu Shukaixi, what are you doing? I saw thick smoke here just now. Is it on fire? Where is it?" In thunderstorm weather, some trees will be struck by lightning and catch fire, which will cause forest fires, so for fire, The orcs were respectful, fearful, and yearning, and they were very conflicted. They didn't feel nervous when they saw the fire and smoke here, especially when they saw the burning marks on that place.

"Excuse me." Knowing that it was the torch that attracted the females, Liu Shu apologized slightly: "I just burned some weeds, and didn't do anything."

"That's right, it's just that there is too much grass, so I burned it." Wanting to give everyone a surprise, Kathy helped conceal their real purpose: "Look, nothing is burned, there won't be any dangerous."

The females were stunned for a while, but they didn't expect this reason. Looking around, it was indeed as Casey said, the traces of the fire were only there, and it was still an open space. There was indeed no danger and harm, so they gave up, but it was still a sincere teaching. A few words, children don't play with fire and the like before leaving one by one.

"It's okay for us to lie to you." Casey was still a little worried. After all, it was the first time to be dishonest, and he was very guilty. Naturally, Liu Shu didn't have these worries and didn't care: "Don't worry, it's an experiment now, and I don't know if it will be successful yet." It’s impossible to attack, if it doesn’t work, wouldn’t it make people happy in vain.”

It's right to think about it, Casey nodded, carrying the small half bag of plant ash, and followed Liu Shu's pace.

So all the utensils are ready, everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng, I folded a wooden stick outside, and finally checked that there is no shortage, so I gritted my teeth and endured the pain to take out the oil I had accumulated so hard. Animal oil or something, just this instead.

"Do you still need oil?" Leaving aside Liu Shu, Casey felt distressed when she saw it. Oil is hard to come by. Although oil is made from meat, it depends on what kind of meat it is. There are very few fats that cannot be refined: "I can't use other things, what do I have to do with oil, do I fry these ashes?"

Originally still in pain, seeing Kathy's appearance, she laughed directly, and even couldn't help laughing bitterly at what she said. Liu Shu was speechless. Did she want to tell her what saponification reaction and chemical equation were?That's too deceitful, even if she said it, it's still the same thing whether she understands it or not, she coughed lightly and said: "There is no way, it must be done." Before she has no better way, it must be done.

Since this is the case, there is no choice but to be helpless. Although she agreed, Casey was still unwilling, and secretly said in her heart, she must get out that soap, otherwise I am really sorry for the oil, and I can make a lot of delicious food Woolen cloth.

In fact, there is not much oil needed. Liu Shu put all the solidified fat into the pot and melted it, put it aside, and put some plant ash into the small stone pot under Casey's widening eyes. Let's start the real steps.

The plant ash was poured into the small stone pot, and Liu Shu put in a corresponding proportion of water to make the plant ash into a paste. While doing this, the fire under the stove kept burning steadily. Casey blinked while controlling the fire. He stared at Liu Shu's movements without blinking, as if he was afraid of missing a part, so he kept staring closely.

Ignoring the pressure brought by Casey's eyes, Liu Shu calmly took the wooden stick and stirred it. When she felt that it was almost done, she turned her eyes to the melted fat. After thinking about it, she nodded firmly and stretched out her hand I took the wooden barrel containing the oil, which was made by Awell later, and the handle, of course, Liu Shu used wooden nails to make it easy to use, but it was very firm, so Once you do one, the others don't matter so much.

Holding the oil barrel by his side, he scooped a spoonful of it with a spoon. Now Liu Shu is stirring the ash in the small stone pot with a stick in one hand, and scooping a spoonful of oil in the other hand.

When the ash was almost mixed, the hand holding the spoon moved, the spoon tilted, and the oil dripped down, just dripping into the ash in the stone pot. Liu Shu didn't know the ratio of saponification, but The current method is to try a little bit. Of course, this is undoubtedly a pure method, but this is the only way to do it. If you are stupid, you are stupid.

'Wow!' It was another waste product in a pot. Casey's face was slumped. I don't know how many times she fell down. Liu Shu's experiment has never been successful, and the dust in the small stone pot has never been as she wished. When saponified in that way, it becomes a mass of paste, without any change. If you wait and wait, you can only wait until the paste is burned dry, and there is nothing left.

"Xiao Shu, if it doesn't work, let's not try it." Seeing that most of the oil was used up, even if it wasn't from her family, she still felt distressed.

Compared to Casey, Liu Shu was even more disappointed. She was thought to be more confident in making saponins, but in the end it was a failure. No wonder she felt uncomfortable. Since she came here, she has been so smooth, but she forgot that she is just an ordinary person Forget it, cheating fingers or something, forget it, it's just luck.

"Sigh." Sighing, Liu Shu shook her head, her tone full of helplessness: "If you don't try it, don't try it, I trust myself too much." As he spoke, he began to tidy up the messy things around him.

"No, no." Seeing that Liu Shu had misunderstood, Casey was very nervous, and said with a pout: "That's not what I mean, I want to say, we can't do it so many times, there must be something wrong, it can't work today, Then tomorrow, anyway, it’s good to be free and tinker with something.” It’s just a waste of energy, Casey thought silently.

After tidying up the things, I checked the small stone pot to be sure that there was a lot of waste in it. There was a lot of oil in the pot. Casey was reluctant to just pour it out. Change." These are words of consolation, how could it not work now, there will be changes after one night, but Liu Shu didn't say anything, just put the small stone pot aside and ignored it, anyway, she doesn't bother to wash the pot now.
