Living in the Wilderness Becomes Stronger

Chapter 81 Making Soap
"Xu Yi, are you not wet?" Seeing Xu Yi walking in, Lu quickly handed him a bowl of hot mint tea.

"Fortunately, just a little." Xu Yi took the hot soup and smelled the fragrance emanating from the girl.

This is the effect of enhanced sense of smell, Xu Yi can now smell some smells that he can't normally smell.

"Then quickly take off your clothes and dry them." Lu Ke said quickly, his eyes full of worry.

After all, if Xu Yi fell ill, it would be a big problem.

"It's okay." After drinking the water, Xu Yi took off his coat, only to find that his vest was wet.It was all rain, though, and a lot of sweat.

"I'll wash it, and then I'll come back to dry it." After saying that, Xu Yi put on his clothes, and then scrubbed the vest.

After washing, Xu Yi came back.

"Xu Yi, why don't we cook something else today?" Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi, really worried that he would get sick.

Xu Yi shook his head, took off his coat, and said, "No need, this little rain is nothing to me. The rain is estimated to last for a few days, so we have to finish eating the mutton and dried fish as soon as possible , Potatoes are used to save lives, so try not to eat them until the end.”

If it rains for ten days and half a month, they may have to rely on potatoes to sustain their lives.

Lu Ke nodded and said nothing more.

Surrounded in front of the fire, two people ate mutton jerky and drank soup made of mutton jerky.

After dinner, Xu Yi took out the water made of plant ash that he had soaked earlier.

"Are we making soap?" Lu could not help asking when Xu Yi poured the water from plant ash into another empty bowl.

"Well, go get the oil, let's see if we can make soap tonight." Xu Yi added some firewood to the fire as he said.

"Okay." Lu Ke got up and went to get the mutton oil, and handed it to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi dug half of it into the pot with a spoon, and then heated it into liquid.

"Just pour it into the water, so be careful." Lu Ke was worried that the oil would splash, so he reminded him.

"Well, after you pour it in, you need to start stirring." As he said that, Xu Yi poured it into the alkaline water.

Then, Xu Yi took a stick and started stirring continuously.

Lu Ke watched quietly from the side without saying a word.

Xu Yi stirred for half an hour before stopping.

"Is this enough?" Lu Ke asked, feeling that when Xu Yi fell behind, the bowl had already started to solidify.

"Just wait until it's completely solidified." Xu Yi stood up and put on the dried vest and coat.

"Don't you need to make it square?" Lu Ke leaned over and smelled it, feeling that the smell was a bit strange.

"There is no grinding tool, so let's do it this way. This time, I just try to see if I can succeed." Xu Yi thinks that my appearance doesn't matter, as long as it works.

"That's right, when I succeed, I'll just make a mold out of clay." Lu Ke smiled slightly at Chu Yi.

The thatch in the house has dried a lot, and the wood is also there, so she continued to fix the thatch to the tree.

Chu Yi is also doing this job, after all, he hopes to finish the shed tomorrow.

The two were chatting while they were picking thatch pieces.

In one night, Xu Yi and Lu Ke finished dealing with the thatch.

The next morning, Xu Yi woke up first.

After opening his eyes, he glanced at Lu Ke who was sleeping next to him.

Last night, Lu Ke didn't sleep with Xu Yi in his arms, but he kept leaning on Xu Yi's back.

Standing up, Xu Yi glanced at the sleeping Lu Ke, then reached out and touched her forehead.

There was no fever, Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't feel any signs of fever when she pressed against him just now, he still touched his forehead to confirm.

Knowing that Lu Ke didn't have a fever, Xu Yi woke up.

The rain is still going on outside, and it really doesn't mean to stop at all.

Pushing open the door, Xu Yi glanced outside.

The sky is still very gloomy, and today's rain is estimated to be the next day.

Picking up the pot, Xu Yi fetched water and brought it back to boil.

When the water was about to boil, Lu Ke woke up.

"Is it still raining?" Lu Ke rubbed his eyes and sat up.

"Yes, it's still pouring." Xu Yi replied, and then added some mint leaves to the water.

Although Lu Ke didn't have a fever, it was still raining and he could drink more mint tea.

Lu Ke puffed his mouth, then stood up.

She went to the shed outside to take a look, and after moving her body a bit, she returned to the house.

"The temperature hasn't dropped, but it's raining non-stop." Lu Ke said helplessly. After all, no one can change the weather.

"Yeah, I messed up the plan." Xu Yi originally planned to make a bed for these two days, but now he spends all his time in the shed.

"Okay, you can wash up first, I have all the water ready." Saying that, Chu Yi handed the charcoal powder to Lu Ke.

After washing, the two of them had breakfast.

After breakfast, Xu Yi continued to work.

The shed outside the house is ready, so Lu Ke can help move the thatch pieces outside to the shed.

After spending half a day, Xu Yi paved the roof of the remaining shed.

Looking at the fruits of his and Lu Ke's labor, Xu Yi showed a slight smile.

However, it is still necessary to dig the drainage ditch near the greenhouse so that the greenhouse will not be muddy.

"Xu Yi, why are you going out?" Lu saw that Xu Yi opened the gate of the fence again, so he couldn't help asking.

"The toilet hasn't been built yet. I'll go and carry some pillars back and fix the toilet." After all, this problem is also very realistic. It's really inconvenient if it's convenient in the rain.

Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi's back, and felt that he was a bit useless for catching a cold so easily.

If he went out at this time, Xu Yi would definitely tell him again.

Therefore, she didn't follow her out immediately.

She walked up to the kiln and checked the condition of the kiln.

Although it is full of water, it is still very stable.

After cleaning up the kiln, Lu Ke is going to make some pottery.

Now that there is not enough firewood, it is definitely not possible to fire the kiln.

But it is still possible to make pottery embryos.

In short, she couldn't be idle.After all, Xu Yi has been busy all the time, how could she have the nerve not to work?
Also, Xu Yi said that he would build a toilet to come out.

She wanted to try if she could get a pottery for a squatting toilet.

If successful, it can make the toilet more hygienic.
