Su Bai leaned over and took a look. Sure enough, under the baboon fur that Zhao Xinqing cut with a bamboo blade, there were large pieces of fat stored in the belly and buttocks of the yellow baboon.
If these twelve yellow baboons are so fat, the accumulated fat is really not a small amount.
Zhao Xinqing said with joy:
"There may be some well-accessible starchy food in the living area of these baboons, causing them to stock up on such a considerable amount of fat."
"marvelous!"
The barrage is very puzzled:
【No, you and Su Bai are not short of fat.】
【Although the fat content in fish is not high, it is enough for you two to have daily needs.】
【Is these baboon fats useful?】
Zhao Xinqing smiled and said:
“Of course it’s useful.”
"With this baboon fat, we can make soap!"
"Although you can barely take a shower without soap, I always feel that I can't wash it clean."
The two of their previous prey, whether it was fish, coyote, or giant anaconda, did not have large fat layers like yellow baboons.
It's hard to refine, so naturally there's no way to make soap.
Barrage:
【emmmmm…soap?】
【Another thing that goes beyond my blind spot in knowledge.】
【No, do you have soap corks? How to make soap?】
Zhao Xinqing laughed:
"Cold Knowledge: There is no soap in soap."
"Soapia can have a similar cleaning effect, so the ancients used soap to clean things."
"After the appearance of soap, it was also named "soap" because of its same function."
"But there is no need for soap kettle in it~"
Su Bai was stunned:
"Really? I always thought that there was any inevitable connection between the two..."
Barrage:
【Then the question is, how can fat turn into soap?】
Zhao Xinqing laughed:
"It's very simple. We just need to burn a pot of wood ash water, extract the potassium carbonate inside, and filter it..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Xinqing was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she said to herself:
"Oh no, it seems that there is no gauze filter..."
"What should I do..."
"Forget it, but filtering can be used."
"It's nothing more than a lot of particulate matter in the finished product, and it will be cleaned with water!"
Barrage:
【…】
【This is too much of a deal…】
[In the wilderness, there is no need to pay attention to so much...]
Su Bai said beside him:
“It can be filtered without gauze.”
Zhao Xinqing was stunned:
“How to filter?”
This is beyond her knowledge.
Su Bai turned his head and took a small bamboo tube. He burned the bottom of the bamboo tube with fire, and then poked out some small holes with double-branch hooks.
I casually put a layer of thick river sand in the bamboo tube, another layer of fine river sand, and another layer of sand and soil on the top.
Su Bai shook the small bamboo tube with three layers of earth and stone in his hand and said:
"In this way, a rough filter device that uses local materials is formed."
Barrage:
[Wait a minute! Can so much soil inside really filter water?]
【Don't the filter get dirtier???】
Su Bai laughed and shook his head:
"No, this simulates the process of stratigraphic filtration."
"Why is the groundwater clean? It's because it has been filtered through rock formations."
"The large pieces of particles inside will hold on to small pieces of particles, and the only thing that can penetrate and fall from them is liquid."
"If charcoal is added, many impurities that can be dissolved in water can be absorbed."
"In the wilderness, if you have to drink dirty water, you can filter it with such a simple device, which will be much safer."
"But we don't drink it. What we want is potassium carbonate in the wood ash solution, so we can't add charcoal."
Zhao Xinqing's eyes lit up and she praised:
"Su Bai, you are so smart!"
“There are so many ways!”
The two of them immediately started to do it. Su Bai added a little light water to the small bamboo tube and began to boil baboon grease.
Zhao Xinqing cooked the wood ash solution in another small bamboo tube.
Soon, the two of them added the filtered wood ash solution to the liquid baboon grease.
Holding a bamboo stick and stirring it for a while, the things in the bamboo tube had already become paste-like sticky.
Barrage:
【Emmmm…can you eat it?】
【My lard is almost like this when it solidifies!】
【Can this thing... really be used for bathing?】
Zhao Xinqing smelled the smell and nodded with certainty:
"That's right, that's the smell!"
"This reaction is called 'saponification reaction'. Although it looks like solidified lard, the temperature of this thing is still very high now, and the oil cannot solidify at this temperature at all."
“This is the old-fashioned soap.”
"Compress these paste and put them on for two days and they will turn into soap!"
Before Zhao Xinqing compacted it, Su Bai dug out two small pieces and said:
"I'll go up the mountain to take a shower later, just use this."
Zhao Xinqing nodded:
"No problem, it can be used now..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xinqing suddenly stopped and looked at Su Bai:
"You... want to take a shower today?"
Very dangerous!
Fortunately, I washed it yesterday!
Otherwise, I would definitely want to go now and be afraid of going.
How can you bear the love?
Su Bai nodded, deliberately ignored the strange light in Zhao Xinqing's eyes, and asked casually:
"I haven't washed it for several days, it's very uncomfortable. Do you go and wash it with me?"
Barrage:
[Please, Dr. Zhao, please rub Su Bai’s back!!!]
【Look at how uncomfortable your husband is!】
[You can wash his hair after rubbing his back.]
【head?】
Zhao Xinqing shook her head like a rattle:
"No, no! I... I sweat less and I'm very clean!"
Try to confirm your image as a little fairy!
Barrage:
【I don't believe it!】
【You haven’t taken a shower for several days? How could it not smell bad?】
[emmmmmm... Having said that, did you forget... Last night, Su Bai praised Dr. Zhao for being very fragrant...]
[Can you believe the big pig's hooves like Su Bai? This is called the lover's eyes showing Xi Shi. Even if Dr. Zhao is moldy, he probably thinks Dr. Zhao is fragrant!]
Su Bai adhered to the concept of doing a full set of acting, pretended to persist twice, and asked Zhao Xinqing to take a shower together.
Zhao Xinqing naturally blushed and refused repeatedly.
Su Bai followed the boat and said "Oh" and nodded:
"Okay, then I'll go by myself."
Zhao Xinqing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then a trace of resentment arose in her heart:
Have you given up so easily?
Don't hold on for a while?
It seems... he doesn't particularly want to see me take a shower...
Is it that I'm not good-looking enough?
Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing repeated the steps of making soap several times, mixing all the baboon oils and wood ash solution, pressing them into soap with the shape of a bamboo tube, and leaving them to stand in the camp.
Then the two cut out the tendons that could be used in the baboon's corpse, and all the remaining corpses were burned to pieces.
Then the two took the foodie up the mountain again while there was still time and cut down more than a dozen bamboos for tomorrow's use.
Back at the camp and unloaded the bamboo, Su Bai said:
"I'm going to take a shower."
Zhao Xinqing looked at Su Bai's departure back, and a hint of cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes.
