Li Yuan nodded.

"Well, that's right, plant ash had many uses in ancient times, and there are quite a few people who specialize in collecting plant ash for sale."

Studio.

"Business? True or false?"

"Isn't plant ashes just waste after burning? Someone still buys this thing?"

"Yeah, is there any plant ash?"

"Buying plant ash? What to do?"

While continuing to tidy up, Li Yuan said, "Ancient plant ash is much more valuable than everyone thinks. Moreover, firewood was not something that could be burned casually in old houses."

"In the past, firewood was still very valuable and should not be cut down randomly, so except for the necessary living, eating and heating, few people know how to burn firewood."

"So, in ancient times, the amount of plant ash was not much, and even if there was, it was used for laundry, disinfection, and fertilizer."

In fact, it's not just the people from the past. Li Yuan still thought after successfully making a fire yesterday that if he couldn't find a suitable disinfectant, he would have to use plant ash to wash his hair and brush his teeth.

but……

Whether it is plant ash to brush teeth or wash hair, although it can play a certain role in disinfection, the side effects are also very large.

After all, this plant ash contains too much alkali. If it is used for a long time, it will definitely burn the scalp, leading to a series of problems such as hair loss and hair burnt. It is not bad for short-term emergency use.

After a while, Li Yuan processed all the ashes.

Li Yuan also carefully cleaned up the burning marks on the ground.At this time, Hu Kai on the side finally finished his breakfast.

Li Yuan patted the ashes on his hands and looked in Hu Kai's direction.

Li Yuan: "How do you feel today? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Hu Kai moved around, turned his head again, shook his head and said: "Don't say it, I really feel much better today, and my body is much lighter than yesterday."

Li Yuan: "That's all right. Now that we have a fire, we can eat a lot more. When I have time in the afternoon, I will make a few traps for catching mice. In the future, I will have a constant source of protein. "

Hu Kai nodded and said protein, Hu Kai suddenly remembered the fish basket in the river.

"Hey, by the way, Xiaoyuan, did you go to the fish basket just now? Did you catch any fish or crabs?"

Li Yuan shook his head.

"Not yet, I simply washed up and didn't go downstream."

Hu Kai couldn't help showing a look of excitement on his face.

"Then... let's go take a look?"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, I just want to wash my hands. But... wait a minute, I have a big thing to do."

Hu Kai heard Li Yuan say something 'big thing', and asked curiously: "Big thing? What big thing?"

Li Yuan walked towards the stone slab, and then took out a grass-wrapped leaf from the side, opened the leaf, and what was wrapped inside was the good charcoal that Li Yuan made last night.

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Then, that's it."

Early in the morning, the first thing Li Yuan did after waking up was to check the charcoal bars.

After one night of baking, the charcoal strips are completely dry and ready to try.However, out of the four charcoal strips made, only three were still intact.

I don't know if the other one cracked because it was too close to the fire, or it was not glued well.

However, three charcoal sticks are completely enough.

Taking out the Huozhe shell that was made earlier, Li Yuan tested again to see if the size of the charcoal sticks was appropriate.

Fortunately, even after high temperature, the charcoal sticks can still be stored in it perfectly.

Li Yuan: "Fortunately, these few charcoal sticks can still be put in. What we have to do now is to see if the charcoal sticks can burn."

With that said, Li Yuan took out a stick of charcoal and walked to the stove, and put the stick of charcoal on the open fire to bake.

Studio.

"Can you stay?"

"I look a little nervous."

"Should... be easy to use?"

"I do not know!"

"Don't worry, the things made by Mr. Li's family may work!"

"Then the first time you drilled wood to make fire and failed!"

"Yes."

"Come on, anchor, you must succeed!"

With the passage of time, under the baking of the open flame, the charcoal strip was ignited as expected, and it turned into red sparks.

Li Yuan's expression was filled with joy, while Hu Kai exclaimed even more excitedly: "I got it! I got it, Xiao Yuan!"

Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I saw it. Looking at it now, there should be no problem with the burning of the charcoal, but I don't know if it can keep burning in a closed environment."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan handed the charcoal strip in his hand to Hu Kai.

"Kaizi, hold it."

Hu Kai took the charcoal stick in Li Yuan's hand, looked at it with eyes full of novelty, and then remembered to ask: "Hey, Xiao Yuan, why are you going?"

Li Yuan: "I'm going to deal with the outer shell of this fire folder."

Li Yuan put the Erythrina tree on his lap and held a small stone in his right hand.

The simplicity of the stone is very sharp, somewhat like an ancient arrow.In addition to the stone in his hand, there are also a handful of similar pointed stones scattered on the side.

This... was specially reserved by Li Yuan back then.

Studio.

"What is the anchor doing?"

"It looks like...it seems to be going to do something."

"I said, why did Mr. Li's family pick up so many stones? He wanted to come and wait for it to be used now."

"Isn't the host going to carve this fire zip? We're in the wild... don't worry so much?"

Sure enough, in the next second, Li Yuan took a stone knife and began to fiddle with the tip of the eucalyptus tree.But...it's not like carving something, but it seems to be drilling.

The stone knife kept turning at the fixed point of the Erythrina tree.

Because the wear and tear of the stone is relatively large, the sharp edges and corners of the stone in Li Yuan's hand were worn away after a while.

One, two, three.

The sharp stones were quickly consumed by Li Yuan.

But after a while, those stones were already gone.

Fortunately, the bark of the Erythrina tree was not that thick. Finally, before the stones were consumed, Li Yuan successfully opened holes in the bark of the Erythrina tree.

Although it was just a hole not much bigger than the tip of a needle, its appearance still made Li Yuan extremely happy.

Li Yuan: "It's done!"

"Kaizi, bring the carbon fire, I'll try it."

Hu Kai agreed, "Here we come!"

Li Yuan put the carbon fire into the smaller Erythrina tree first, and then put the larger Erythrina tree on top.

The top of the erythrina tree has been sealed tightly by Li Yuan with another small piece of wood, and the place where it just opened is also at the sealed end.

Putting the charcoal strips inside, Li Yuan took a look, and then carefully enlarged the hole a little bit.
