Traveling through the world of beasts: Lingquan space has some fields

The two had breakfast and rested for a while. Lang Rui cleaned all the pots and bowls and took the lead to go down the mountain.

Qiao Xin followed behind.

Along the way, I picked a lot of flowers.

Lang Rui looked sideways, no wonder the little raccoon smelled so good, he loved flowers so much.

The water flowing out of the hot spring formed a stream, and lush flowers grew on the edge of the stream.

Qiao Xin picked a lot. When she saw soda ash yesterday, she wanted to make soap. These flowers came in handy.

The place where salt is boiled is still some distance from the lake, but not far away. It is in the middle of three huge rocks, forming a shelter from the wind. When the snow is swept away, you can still see the traces of burning firewood in the past.

There were piles of firewood on the side, half wet but not dry. Apparently Lang Rui went to chop them this morning.

Lang Rui stepped forward and rebuilt the collapsed simple stove.

Qiao Xin took out the stone pot that Lang Rui and the others had stored in the cave to boil salt from the space, and placed it on the simple stove that had been set up.

Lang Rui took the plastic bucket handed over by Qiao Xin and went to the river to collect lake water.

Qiao Xin also walked over, took a board, and fished out a basket of crystals precipitated on the lake.

The weather is cold and there is no fear of soda ash melting when it meets water.

When making soap, the alkaline water will react chemically with the aluminum, destroying the pot and producing irritating gases.

While Lang Rui was boiling salt, Qiao Xin was digging into the stone pot with a knife. Stones are relatively safer.

And it's impossible for Qiao Xin to use the food to make soap.

This stone pot was smaller than the one for boiling salt, and her knife was blessed with gold-type powers, so she was able to dig it quickly.

After cleaning it, pouring some clean water in and boiling it until it is warm, Lang Rui sat aside with his eyes open, like a curious baby.

"Don't come close!" Qiao Xin took out a steel plate, held it in front of her, and put the soda ash into the warm water.

When soda ash meets water, it will release a lot of heat and react violently. Alkaline water is corrosive. In order to avoid the liquid splashing, Qiao Xin can only use steel plates as shields and remind Lang Rui not to get close.

Lang Rui looked at the splashing liquid in the stone pot, his eyes full of light, "What is this?" Is the world of witches so magical?

"Soda ash is also called sodium carbonate. It will undergo a chemical reaction when it meets water to produce sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide." After Qiao Xin explained, she looked up and met Lang Rui's confused eyes, who didn't understand.

"..." Good guy, I explained it, but if I don't understand it, it's the same as not explaining it!

Forget it, this explanation is too laborious. Qiao Xin: "You just need to remember it. You don't need to know how he reacted."

"Oh." Lang Rui glanced at Qiao Xin and didn't ask again.

Qiao Xin took out the lard from the space, took out the canned iron box that had been used as a bowl, dug two large pieces into the aluminum pot, and heated them to melt.

When it is completely melted, slowly pour a small amount into the alkaline water while stirring with a stick. When it becomes milky, "Lang Rui, put the petals in."

Qiao Xin, who had no time to spare, directed Lang Rui, who was a curious baby at the side.

Lang Rui was watching Qiao Xin's movements carefully. When he heard her words, he reacted immediately and added petals.

There was no need for Qiao Xin to remind him not to mix them all together. He only added one kind of food as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the first piece was quickly added under his sharp eyes.

He picked out every flaw.

The hot oil and alkaline water are stirred and slowly become viscous until it completely turns into a light butter shape. Pour it into the tin can and let it solidify into a mold.

Lang Rui looked at two unrelated things, added them together, and then turned into something else.

As if the door to a new world had opened, his eyes fell on the soda ash white crystals in the basket, and he fell into deep thought.

Qiao Xin did not continue cooking. There was not much lard in the first place, and the box she made was enough for washing for a long time.

"I'll come as soon as I go." Lang Rui had inspected the area in the morning and there were no ferocious beasts, so he felt free to let Qiao Xin stay here alone.

Five pots were boiling salt at the same time. When it was done, Qiao Xin put everything into the basket, and Lang Rui didn't come back.

Qiao Xin didn't wait for Lang Rui to come back to fetch the water from the lake. She carried the bucket back to the lake and continued cooking.

After the second round of cooking, the sun was no longer in the center and hung in the sky.

In the third round, she left a stove, set up an aluminum pot, and started cooking wheat grains.

She planned to make bacon stewed rice for lunch today.

Use wheat grains instead of rice.

After the wheat grains are cooked, stir-fry cabbage and bacon and cover the wheat grains with rice. The soup is poured on top without wasting any.

Perhaps because of the smell of rice, Lang Rui was carrying a wild boar on his shoulders and dragging a wild boar in his hand.

It must have been just after autumn. The two wild boars had eaten so well that they had grown quite fat. When they were put on the ground, the ground and the fat meat on the pigs shook.

"!!!" There are so many wild boars in the Orc Continent that you can hunt them down if you want?

Lang Rui smiled brightly at Qiao Xin, showing his white teeth, "Refining oil."

Okay, Qiao Xin got it, this guy keeps silent and does big things!

"Isn't there a little too much prey here?"

"Well, after crossing several mountains, there is a plain over there, where many animals live, but some of them have migrated to other places. These two wild boars are because of this deep mountain and old forest, and few orcs come here. After the beast god abandoned them, The further north the land goes, the fewer orcs come here to hunt."

After Lang Rui explained it, Qiao Xin understood.

She heard about the abandoned place of the beast god more than once.

"Why is this place called the Abandoned Land of the Beast God?" It is obviously black land and very fertile.

Lang Rui glanced at Qiao Xin, hiding the confusion in his eyes, "Because orcs with high-level superpowers will be suppressed when entering the land of the Beast God. Only those with low-level superpowers who cannot survive in other places or who have escaped here can live here." Orcs.”

Qiao Xin touched her chin and asked, "How much suppression is usually required?"

"The higher the level, the more severe the suppression."

"Were you suppressed?"

Lang Rui pursed his lips. His situation was not suppressed by the Abandoned Land of the Beast God, but it was indeed suppressed.

When he was still weighing whether to explain to Qiao Xin truthfully, Qiao Xin had already waved his hand to stop him from continuing: "Everyone has their own secrets. If it's not the time to tell them now, there's no need to worry."

"Like you?"

Qiao Xin laughed, "Yes, like me."

No matter how mysterious the origin is, can it be more mysterious than her, a human who came from Blue Star?

The reason why a secret is a secret is that no one can know it!

Qiao Xin just asked casually, not necessarily getting an answer.

Perhaps it can also be said to be a kind of deal. She doesn't want to explore his secrets, but she also wants him to explore her secrets.

The two remained silent and did not dwell on the issue.

"Have a meal."

The grains of wheat rice are larger and have a fuller texture. When chewing, you can feel the fineness and toughness of the grains. It has the unique fragrance of wheat grains and is chewier than rice.

Qiao Xin couldn't get enough after eating one bowl, so she scraped the stewed rice aside and took out the crispy rice at the bottom. The vegetable juice on the crispy rice was full of flavor.

Lang Rui just watched her eating with crunching sounds.

Qiao Xin looked at him, broke off a piece, and brought it to his mouth.

Lang Rui paused and opened his mouth to take it.

"Does it smell good?"

"fragrant."

After the two of them finished eating, Lang Rui carried the wild boar halfway up the mountain and used the hot spring to kill the pig.

Qiao Xin remained at the foot of the mountain cooking salt.
