i have a super island

Chapter 200 The Island's First Soap

In the wild, it is not difficult to obtain alkaline water.

As long as there is plant ash, it can be used to make alkaline water. The main component of plant ash is potassium carbonate, which becomes alkaline after hydrolysis.

Therefore, if you want to obtain alkaline water, you only need to dissolve plant ash in water, and then filter to remove impurities in the water, so that you get clean alkaline water.

Li Qingman carried the filtered alkaline water outside the cave, poured the crocodile oil into it before it solidified, and started stirring with a wooden stick.

The step of stirring is very important. It is necessary to fully mix the oil and alkaline water. If they cannot be fully mixed, the effect of the soap made at that time may be greatly reduced.

Not long after Li Qingman stirred, his arms became sore and swollen, so Song Zhixi changed to stir, and when Song Zhixi's hands became sore, he changed to the equation to stir, and the three of them took turns stirring like this.

Watching the grease slowly thicken, you can stop stirring at this time, and the last thing to do is to wait for the mixture of grease and lye to solidify completely, and then it becomes soap.

"what about now?"

Song Zhixi was asking about the next arrangement of the equation.

Equation said: "It is not so fast for the grease to completely solidify. Now everyone goes about their own affairs."

"I'm going to the pottery firing base. The pottery blanks with ceramic powder added last time should be almost dry. I have to choose a time to burn all the pottery blanks." Li Qingman said.

Song Zhixi signaled that he would also follow, and said, "Qingman, anyway, I don't have anything to do right now, let me go with you, maybe there is something I can do to help."

"Okay, it would be better if you accompany me there." Li Qingman smiled.

"Well, let's go together."

Song Zhixi nodded, and went back to the cave to bring a bow and arrow. Although she, like Li Qingman, had a dagger on her waist, Song Zhixi was more accustomed to using a bow and arrow to solve dangers in more cases. It is more like a personal accessory that Equation gave her.

The two women went to the east of the island, and Fang had nothing to do. Instead of waiting here for the soap to solidify, it would be better to go down the hillside and work with A Yue.

The hillside from the beach to the cave had no road before. It was just a gentle slope. In addition to overgrown weeds, there were many shrubs, vines, and trees in the middle.

After Ayue filled the flat land at the entrance of the cave, he found another big project for himself, which was to clear a path from the entrance of the cave to the beach.

For this reason, Ayue would come to the hillside every day to weed and cut trees, and by the way, bring all the cut weeds and shrubs back to the cave. It happened that the crocodile meat was being smoked and roasted in the cave, and these moisture-rich plants were the best for smoking Roasting material.

During the daytime, when there was no one in the cave, Fang Fang threw all the plants and trees into the fire pit, and let it emit thick white smoke, which filled the whole cave with smoke.

Fortunately, everyone left the cave to do their own things, so as not to be smoked by such thick smoke.

Fang Fang came to the hillside with a stone hoe, and wanted to clean up the weeds on the road with A Yue, but he didn't expect to see A Yue's nose wrinkled slightly as soon as he walked to A Yue's side, probably because he was afraid of being seen by Fang Fang Embarrassed, Ah Yue quickly turned his face away.

"It stinks a bit, but you won't dislike it." Fang Fang smiled self-deprecatingly to resolve the embarrassment.

"no no."

A Yue shook his head quickly, just now he was just suddenly smelled by Fang Fang, and he didn't mean to make fun of Fang Fang.

Then, Ayue began to ask Fang Fang again, what was the matter with the stench floating in front of the cave before, and why Fang Fang's body smelled so bad.

Fang Fang laughed loudly, and said: "I can't tell you now, but I will know in a while."

A Yue spread his hands, expressing his helplessness at Fang Fang's behavior, but he just made an expression and didn't really care. He is an honest and responsible person.

Equation also stopped mentioning the matter of soap, and started weeding with A Yue.

The distance from the entrance of the cave to the beach is about 200 meters, and the whole journey is a sloping and gentle slope. What Ayue dug is a step path with a width of about 1.2 meters.

Although it is just a small road less than 200 meters long, with only stone tools and manpower, it would be quite time-consuming and labor-intensive for Ayue to sort out this road alone, otherwise it would not be said to be Huge project.

Ayue has been working for several days, and the current progress of the project is less than one-fifth. For each section, the ground must be cleared first, and then the steps must be dug. After the steps are dug, the soil must be rammed. It will collapse if stepped on.

In addition, the steps should be paved with small stones, which can prevent slipping, prevent them from falling easily in rainy days, and make the soil tighter. Larger stones should be used on both sides of the steps, so as to ensure that the steps as a whole will not fall. It will be deformed and collapsed. In short, the workload is not ordinary. If Ayue is really the only one to do it, I don't know if it will take until the year of the monkey.

Fortunately, Fang Fang knew that it was hard work, so whenever he had time, he would help A Yue to do it together, so that the progress could be accelerated a lot.

In one afternoon, the two of them were busy working together, sweating profusely, and they only finished five steps in total.

Regardless of the fact that there are only five steps, each step is built according to extremely high standards. This is called slow work and meticulous work. It is related to everyone's daily life, and of course we must strive for the highest quality.

Tired and sweaty, the two returned to the entrance of the cave. Fang Fang couldn't wait to come to the clay pot. When he saw the soap that had condensed into hard lumps, he couldn't help letting out a long cry of excitement, and immediately tapped it with his fingers. , the texture is exactly the same as soap.

Ah Yue didn't understand what was going on, so he went up to ask Equation what this thing was, and why Equation was so excited all of a sudden.

"Soap, this is soap! Soap that can be used for bathing!"

"Ah, ah?!"

Ah Yue looked at the equation with an unbelievable gaze. He never thought that the thing in the clay pot was soap?Could it be that the stench wafting from the front of the cave was making soap?
"Oh!"

Ah Yue finally understood what the equation was trying to sell, and it turned out to be soap.

He just thought it was amazing that soap could be made on this deserted island, something he had never even imagined.

At this time, the equation has already been carried away, and it is completely a monkey that escaped from the cage, wishing to jump into the sky. This is definitely a memorable day, because they made soap on the island on this day.

Coincidentally at this time, Li Qingman and Song Zhixi also came back from the east of the island. Seeing Fang dancing, they couldn't help being overjoyed and asked, "How is it? Did you succeed?"
