Looking at it this way, the soapberry tree is a treasure from top to bottom. There are still some soap pods that have been picked in the space. We can try to make soap from them.

The rest of the saplings need to be planted quickly. We've been living close to Sun Wei and the others lately, and it's not easy for them to enter the space. They just left this morning and probably won't be back today. We can go into the space and plant the soapberry trees. Tomorrow we can make some souvenirs with the soapberries. That's a happy decision.

After Shu Ling'er and the others left, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin went into their spatial dimension and took out the soapberry trees they had dug up earlier. They counted 56 saplings and more than a pound of seeds. The information said that soapberry trees could be propagated by cuttings or seeds, but the survival rate of cuttings was not high.

However, space is not limited by this, and whatever is planted will grow, so the two planted soapberry trees first.

According to available information, the wood of the soapberry tree is hard and used for vehicles and furniture; the juice from the pods can be used as a substitute for soap to wash silk and wool fabrics; the tender shoots can be seasoned with oil and salt, and the seeds can be cooked and candied. The pods, seeds, and thorns are all used in medicine, and have the effects of expectorating phlegm and clearing the orifices, relieving cough and promoting urination, reducing swelling and draining pus, and killing parasites and treating tinea.

It's fair to say that every part of the soapberry tree is valuable, so Xu Lin decided to focus on it for the next couple of days and fully explore its value. She started with planting.

Since they were all mature saplings, the two of them simply dug holes and planted them. Xu Lin chose a circle around the vegetable garden and planted 10 saplings.

The market demand for this stuff should be quite large in the future, so Xu Lin cleared out another piece of land to plant soapberry seeds.

There are many ways to plant soapberry trees. Xu Lin used the method of scoring the side or end face and making a hole (burn) in the seed coat with a heating needle to plant two rows in the space.

After planting the soapberry trees, it was noon. The two came out of the space to have lunch. After lunch, Xu Lin planned to process the soapberries to make soap or shampoo. However, after checking the information, she found that soapberries cannot be used to make soap, as the components of the two are different.

The main component of soap pods is saponins, while the main component of soap is fat. My long-awaited soap—gone. However, soap powder is worth considering; commercially available soap powders should contain soap pod extract.

Next, we'll make shampoo. It's simple: boil soap pods in water, remove the pods, and use the remaining water to wash your hair. It's really easy to do something big. I wonder if anyone else knows this method. I'll ask Li Jingjing when she gets back.

Since they had already done it, they couldn't waste it. Xu Lin and Zhou Pin washed their hair with boiled soapberry water, which was just as good as store-bought shampoo. They felt refreshed afterward.

Previously, Xu Lin thought that soap pods and soapberry were the same thing. She had even made soapberry, snow fungus and tremella soup before, and planned to make sweet soup as soon as she finished making shampoo. Later, she found out that soapberry and soap pod are two different things.

Soapberry is the fruit of the soapberry tree. Both soapberry and soapberry are nutritious substances, not only effective in relieving phlegm and cough, but also in treating various skin diseases. Both soapberry and soapberry are high in energy and carbohydrates, and can have beautifying, liver-cleansing, and vision-improving effects. This medicine can be used in conjunction with other treatments for various problems such as cough with excessive phlegm, confusion, and stroke.

The soapberry that Xu Lin uses to make sweet soup is soapberry rice, which is the fruit of the soapberry tree. So, to make sweet soup, you have to turn the soapberry into soapberry rice first.

I took out a basket of soap pods from my spatial storage. These were collected on the mountain by the sea before the tsunami. After drying them, they had been sitting in my spatial storage without being processed. Today, their value would be revealed.
