Meng Yuqing slept exceptionally long this time. Although Xuan took good care of him on the journey to the salt mine, he was still a little tired after all the long journey.
When he woke up, it was already afternoon. After touching his protesting stomach, Meng Yuqing ate a few berries and simply cooked some meat.
He opened the door and walked towards the vegetable garden without looking up. He wanted to check on the hemostatic grass. Qiu Ye said that some of the grass seeds had changed color and should be ready to be collected.
When Rong Lin in the vegetable garden saw him coming, he immediately waved and greeted him.
"Yuqing, get up. Did you make something new over there?" He raised his hand and pointed to the side of the vegetable patch.
"What's new?"
Hearing his voice, Meng Yuqing raised his head with some confusion.
Suddenly he widened his eyes and looked in the direction Rong Lin pointed.
The direction he pointed was a piece of land not far from the vegetable field.
At this time, the land has been surrounded by a wooden fence, estimated to be about two acres, slightly smaller than the vegetable field. Most of the weeds that were originally growing there have been pulled out, and it looks like a vegetable field that has not yet been planted with vegetables.
He quickly ran to the newly fenced area, leaned against the wooden fence and looked at it while asking Rong Lin who was following him, "When was this fenced in?"
Rong Lin was stunned by his question and looked at him and said, "I don't know. It wasn't there yesterday, but it appeared when we came here this morning. We thought you had made it."
Meng Yuqing touched his head and said with a puzzled look, "Is there anyone else in the tribe who wants to enclose a vegetable plot to grow crops? Why not enclose it near his own home? It would be inconvenient to take care of the vegetable plot here instead of mine."
"I don't know. I haven't heard of anyone wanting to grow vegetables, and they don't know how to grow vegetables." Ronglin shook his head in confusion.
Apart from the three people who are helping Meng Yuqing plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, and Qiuye, no one else in the tribe knows how to grow vegetables.
They were all waiting for Meng Yuqing's batch of vegetables to be grown and then promoted to the entire tribe for everyone to grow together. They really couldn't imagine that anyone would go to Meng Yuqing's house to enclose a vegetable plot.
Rong Lin and Meng Yuqing stood in this suddenly appeared vegetable field for a long time. They looked at each other and saw the confusion on each other's faces.
Finally, Meng Yuqing, who was still worried about the hemostatic seeds, said, "Forget it, never mind. The land grabbers will come eventually. I'll just ask them when the time comes."
Rong Lin nodded. "That's right. We'll know who it is when we get here. But the one who could fence off this piece of land overnight must be an orc. I wonder what the orcs are doing here. Yuqing, you should pay attention when the time comes."
As he said this, he looked Meng Yuqing up and down without leaving any trace.
"Okay, I understand." Meng Yuqing nodded, "I'll go check out those herbs."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the hemostatic grass.
He looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was screaming wildly in his heart.
He had long had his eyes on this piece of land and was planning to enclose it to plant radishes in the next few days, but he didn't expect that when he woke up, it had been enclosed by someone else.
If I had known yesterday, I would have asked Xuan to help me circle it. Now I regret it very much.
He could only wait for the person who circled the land to show up and discuss whether he could give it to him. If not, he looked up at Xuan's house.
I can only go to a place near Xuan's house. Once I find peppers and other seasonings, I will definitely make him a delicious meal to thank him.
When he reached the hemostatic grass, Meng Yuqing calmed himself down and squatted down.
The first cluster of hemostatic grass to produce seeds has already grown a lot of seeds, most of which have turned dark brown, but not completely black. After this grass began to produce seeds, other hemostatic grasses also began to produce seeds one after another.
Meng Yuqing took a quick look and found that there were hundreds of grass seeds that could be collected, but he didn't know how many would grow in the future.
Hope they are easy to keep alive.
The blood-producing grass and the black-thorn grass have not yet produced seeds. The database says that the seed-bearing period of these two grasses is later than that of the hemostatic grass. It is normal that they have not produced seeds now. As long as they can produce seeds normally in time, it proves that there is no problem in transplanting them artificially.
Looking up at Ronglin and the others, Meng Yuqing thought for a moment and decided to wait until they returned before planting the yellow and white flowers and tendon grass.
With his back to Ronglin and the others, Meng Yuqing sat next to the hemostatic grass, lowered his head slightly and looked into the void, and began to look through the methods of making soap and charcoal.
Overall, it is relatively easy to make, and the materials are also relatively easy to collect. You can make more soap during this period and then take it to the market to exchange for something else.
He did what he said. He stood up, patted the dirt, said hello to Ronglin and the others, and went back to the house.
They took out a piece of sharp-toothed beast meat from the warehouse. Because they sped up on their way back, there were still a few pieces of meat left in the warehouse. It happened to be sharp-toothed beast meat with a lot of fat, which could be used to make soap.
Meng Yuqing lit the stove and used a ceramic pot he had made himself, which could conduct heat much faster than a stone pot. He cut the fat off the sharp-toothed beast and threw it into the pot, adding a small amount of water.
Then pay attention to the fire and start to simmer slowly over low heat.
Meng Yuqing didn't like the smell of boiling oil, but the smell made him feel particularly nostalgic. His mother used to boil lard at home, and the smell was not much different from this one.
While waiting for the oil to come out, he squatted down, rolled up his sleeves and started to pick out the wood ash in the stove. He really didn't expect that wood ash could be used in so many ways.
He didn't know about it before in the city, but now in this world, he found that this thing is used everywhere. Last time when he searched for wood ash to make jars, he also glanced at the entry of wood ash to make cement, but he didn't look at it at that time. He will look at it and try it when he has time.
If this is possible, cement can be produced earlier.
After the ash that was scooped out cooled down, he brought a ceramic jar that was mostly filled with water and put the ash in it. He estimated that when the jar was about halfway up, he stopped and let the ash sink to the bottom.
This is different from making wood ash pots.
Soon the water surface began to become turbid. This was because the alkali in the wood ash dissolved in the water. I found another jar and poured the water into it. The other main material for making soap, alkali, was also obtained.
Now all that’s missing is the animal oil. Once the meat is cooked, we can start making soap.
Seeing that the animal oil on the stove still needed to simmer for a while, Meng Yuqing opened the "Complete Information on the Beast World Continent" again.
