Chapter 62: Tallow Fruit
Oh? Little Roubao sent me some Chinese tallow fruit? Is that such a coincidence?
Song Yuqing looked at the little meat bun who was pretending to read with admiration, and reached out to rub the little meat bun's head.
"Good boy~ What a lucky little star~"
The little chubby boy narrowed his eyes into slits and grinned foolishly.
That’s right, I am the lucky star!
After reading the message from Nanjiao, Liu Xiaona knew that she could restore her original skin. She happily reached out to rub Xiao Roubao's face, but Xiao Roubao ruthlessly slapped her hand away.
Little Meat Bun: Can you touch this?
The black brothers saw Liu Xiaona's embarrassing look and covered their mouths and laughed.
“Ding ding~”
Nanjiao then sent several messages, a long line of text.
[The surface of the Chinese tallow tree fruit has a layer of white wax, which is the key to resolving the mutation of water-type mutants.]
The handsome man who turned black at Base No. 35 was going crazy on the street. Xie Hao was afraid that he would hurt someone, so he stepped forward to stop him.
During the struggle, the Chinese tallow tree fruit in Xie Hao's arms fell to the ground, and the handsome man was pressed to the ground by Xie Hao, unable to move, with his face pressed tightly against the ground, which happened to crush the Chinese tallow tree fruit.
The handsome man was stunned by Xie Hao's blow and fell silent. When Xie Hao pulled him up from the ground, his face was still stuck with broken Chinese tallow tree fruit. After the fruit fell, there was a small white spot on the handsome man's face.
So Nanjiao took a bold step and made a small bar of soap from Chinese tallow tree fruit, and used it to whiten the handsome man's face. The handsome man was overjoyed to see that there was hope, and kept hugging Nanjiao to express his gratitude, which annoyed Nanjiao.
[It really works! So, please pick all the Chinese tallow trees, make soap from them, and put them on the shelves!]
Song Yuqing looked at the Chinese tallow tree outside the window. He didn't expect that this Chinese tallow tree could not only serve as a signal base station, but also detoxify.
[Base No. 35, there are a total of twenty mutated water-type espers, so I'd like to trouble you to make twenty large bars of soap first. Please do it quickly~]
[I have sent pigeons to God's Supermarket~]
Song Yuqing's eyelids twitched. She was asked to make twenty soaps in one night?
Even Master Fu didn't exploit her like this!
【……】
Song Yuqing threw an ellipsis to Nanjiao, and Nanjiao replied to her with a long string of text about how to make soap with tung oil fruit.
"Okay! Let's get started!" Liu Xiaona and the black brothers were very active. Now that the soap was made, they wanted to be the first to use it!
Under Song Yuqing's arrangement, Xiao Roubao and Gaha also followed Liu Xiaona and the black brothers to climb up the tree and search for tung oil trees among the dense branches and leaves.
On weekdays, no one pays attention to whether there are fruits on the Chinese tallow tree. After all, the Chinese tallow tree is taller than a building.
The black brother was not good at climbing trees, and he fell down after climbing a few meters. Song Yuqing asked him to pick fruits with him under the tree.
Gaha and Little Meat Bun were experts at picking fruit. Like a zombie and a panda, they scrambled to drop bunches of tallow trees from the tree. Song Yuqing and the black brothers circled the tree, picking up the fruit from the ground and carrying it to the kitchen.
Song Yuqing had never made handmade soap before, and she had no idea how many Chinese tallow trees would be needed to make twenty-two bars of soap. She could only keep carrying Chinese tallow trees into the kitchen. Before long, the kitchen countertops and stovetops were completely covered with Chinese tallow trees.
"Is it almost done?" Song Yuqing shouted towards the tree.
Liu Xiaona, Xiao Roubao and Gaha slid down from the tree one after another.
Liu Xiaona wasn't tired at all; she was excited. He rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, instructing Song Yuqing to prepare the ingredients: "I need coconut oil, olive oil, and alkaline solution!"
Coconut oil and olive oil are not so bad, they are in stock in God's Supermarket.
As for alkaline liquid, what is that?
Liu Xiaona raised her eyebrows. There was something that Song Yuqing didn't know.
However, it is indeed difficult to obtain alkaline liquid now, so Song Yuqing and Gaha were arranged by Liu Xiaona to collect dead branches and make alkaline liquid with wood ash, while Liu Xiaona, Xiao Roubao and the black brothers were responsible for stir-frying the picked Chinese tallow trees and then grinding them into powder.
Several people divided the work and spent a whole day to finally make nearly a hundred soaps, which they put aside to wait for solidification.
During this period, five pigeons also flew into God's Supermarket.
The pigeon is wearing something similar to headphones on its little head.
Almost at the moment when Song Yuqing saw the pigeon, a very loud sound came from the computer.
"You have a new order, please check it."
"You have a new order, please check it."
…
Song Yuqing, who had been drowsy, woke up, suppressed his inner joy, and went to check the computer. There were a total of fifty orders, all sent from Base No. 35.
Purified water, instant noodles, backpack, rice, quilt...
And under each order, there is a note: Soap, urgently needed, please put it on the shelves as soon as possible.
There is no doubt that the people who placed these orders were instructed by Nanjiao, whose purpose was to remind Song Yuqing not to waste time.
At the same time as the order was received, the quiet security gate also rang.
"Ding~ A total of one hundred zombies have been received. Please complete the online shopping order as soon as possible."
Song Yuqing suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
“Speed up the process!”
"Okay!" Liu Xiaona worked hard in the kitchen.
"Ding ding ding, a customer is asking for an order!" The continuous requests for orders made Song Yuqing feel like he was carrying a huge mountain on his back.
"Shh! Stop rushing!" Song Yuqing patted the computer, hoping it would be more sensible.
"A customer is urging us to place an order! A customer is urging us to place an order!" After all, computers have no feelings.
Song Yuqing didn't dare to turn off the computer, so he had to cover his ears, hide in the kitchen, and close the kitchen door.
It takes two or three hours for the soap to solidify. Song Yuqing, Xiao Roubao and the black brothers could not hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
Little Meat Bun's snoring was very loud, but it couldn't wake up Song Yuqing and the black brothers.
Liu Xiaona, on the other hand, was still full of energy. Before the apocalypse, he had often seen videos of making handmade soap, and he had been itching to try his hand at it for a long time. This time, his dream had finally come true.
If you follow the conventional soap-making method, the soap will need to be air-dried for about a month after solidifying. However, if it is used for detoxification, it does not need to be dried.
Liu Xiaona poked the soap with her hand. Good, it had completely solidified. Seeing that Song Yuqing was still asleep, he went to the computer and put the soap on the shelf. Song Yuqing had mentioned the price of the soap. Since it was an emergency, he could exchange one zombie for three soaps.
Liu Xiaona put eighty items on the shelves. As soon as they were put on the shelves, they were snapped up and sold out in the blink of an eye.
“Ding ding, the customer is urging us to place an order!”
"Ding ding, customers are asking for the shelves!"
…
Business is so good!
Liu Xiaona ran back to the kitchen and woke up Song Yuqing and the black brothers one by one.
"I'll have to trouble the store manager to pack the goods myself. I need to go take a shower."
Song Yuqing rubbed his eyes, looking confused.
"Gaha!" Gaha thought he could do it and asked to take on the job.
"No, you can't. You and Xiao Roubao are illiterate." Liu Xiaona tapped Gaha's head gently.
Song Yuqing couldn't open his eyes, so he had to pry them open manually and walked out of the kitchen.
"Come on, pigeons, line up." Song Yuqing called the five pigeons, took out tea from the space and fed them.
All the items on the order added together are not small in size and are not light in weight. Can these tiny pigeons hold up to it?
