"Lard can certainly be used to make soap; it's the main ingredient in soap base!"
"You'll gradually understand in time; many things are indeed amazing and hard to understand."
"But this is the wisdom of humankind."
Chen Fan responded with a smile.
Before seeing the video, Chen Fan couldn't connect the two things at all.
But things just happen in such a magical way.
Many things that we think are completely unrelated actually have a necessary connection.
"Okay! Alright!"
"You can't go wrong by listening to you..."
Although Liu Feifei was still very confused, she listened to Chen Fan very much.
Since Chen Fan said that lard can be used to make soap, then it must be possible.
All she has to do now is complete the tasks assigned by Chen Fan.
...
Meanwhile, many netizens in the live stream also raised the same question.
"Holy crap!! Lard can be used to make soap? What kind of amazing technology is this? Is Chen Fan just making this up?"
"This is the first time I've ever heard of using lard to make soap."
"Is Chen Fan just relying on his tiny bit of professional knowledge to start making things up?"
"I told you to read more books, but you insist on feeding pigs. Don't you even know that lard can be used to make soap base?"
“Lard and vegetable oil can indeed be used to make soap, and the process is relatively simple and can be done even in the wilderness.”
"Wow!! This is the first time I've ever heard of this. I've really learned something new."
"Another amount of useless knowledge has been added..."
Although many people share Liu Feifei's confusion.
However, there are also many wilderness enthusiasts in the live stream.
So they may have paid attention to this kind of thing before, or have learned about this kind of knowledge.
Many viewers in the live stream may even have more knowledge in this area than most of the contestants!
They were just unlucky and weren't selected by the program team.
...
Even the host of the live broadcast, He Rihuo, and the three mentors were completely bewildered.
Because they really don't know much about this area.
Even Xie Ming was the same...
Time passed by, second by second.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Fan has already produced enough wood ash.
The cement is only used to coat the outer and inner walls of the bathtub, and the amount needed is not particularly large.
Therefore, this amount of wood ash is more than enough.
As for the snail shells, they were now completely burnt and crispy.
With just a gentle pinch, it all turned into grayish-white powder.
"It looks like it's almost done..."
"I wonder how Feifei's pork fat rendering is going?"
After the wood ash had been burned to near completion, Chen Fan went to check on Liu Feifei's progress.
The pork fat is almost rendered.
The pot was half full of clear, yellow lard, with a layer of golden cracklings floating on top!
Actually, these pork cracklings are also delicious. Whether used for stir-frying or making steamed buns, they taste incredibly fragrant.
"Chen Fan, is everything ready on your end?"
"Come and see if the lard is rendered properly, like this?"
Liu Feifei quickly asked as well.
Because she wasn't sure if all the oil in the lard had been rendered out.
"Hmm, just right! Quickly scoop all these oil residue out."
"We're making steamed buns tonight..."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
"What? You're sure you want to make steamed buns?"
"Are we really going to get to eat steamed buns tonight?"
Liu Feifei's attention was instantly drawn to the delicious steamed buns.
During my long stay on the island, the best noodles I've ever had are the flatbreads sold at street stalls.
If you can eat steamed buns, that would be an absolutely wonderful treat.
"Of course, we have all the ingredients we need to make steamed buns, so there's absolutely no problem."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
With the starch from the sago palm tree, making steamed buns is no problem at all.
Now that we have these pork cracklings, we can just find some side dishes later.
Generally speaking, pork can be used to make meat buns.
The problem is that most of their meat is smoked, and the taste of smoked meat buns is probably not very good. Fresh meat is the best choice.
So today we can make some vegetarian buns with bits of pork fat mixed in...
"Wow! You really surprise and amaze me all the time."
"If we get to eat steamed buns tonight, I'll treat you to a big steamed bun when I have time..."
Hehe~
While excited, Liu Feifei also made her own promise.
She would be very happy if Chen Fan could make her some steamed buns tonight, whether they were vegetable buns or meat buns.
She could then reward Chen Fan with two large meat buns.
In fact, after in-depth communication, Liu Feifei had long since lost her previous shyness.
Jokes are no longer limited to friends.
Instead, they're like couples deeply in love, able to make slightly suggestive jokes!
Wow!! That's great!
"Looks like I'll have to make these steamed buns tonight."
Chen Fan instantly understood what Liu Feifei meant.
But to be honest, that stuff is really delicious.
It's chewy and delicious when you bite into it, and it's warm and feels great to the touch.
More importantly, you get two small candies for free when you buy steamed buns...
No matter how you calculate it, you're guaranteed to make a profit.
"Alright, let's get all the oil residue out quickly."
"Then we'll go find some ingredients for making steamed buns..."
Chen Fan also instantly became interested in making steamed buns.
After all, exchanging steamed buns for steamed buns means I'm not losing out at all.
Liu Feifei quickly removed all the oil residue.
Then the two set off, before it got dark, to search for raw materials.
...
The two searched for half an hour and found some mushrooms and fresh wild vegetables.
However, these things might not be the first choice for making steamed buns.
Especially with these wild vegetables, the buns made from them taste very ordinary!
"Why don't we go back, Chen Fan? We can just eat wild vegetables and mushroom buns when we get back."
"Anyway, we have plenty of seasonings now, and with those pork cracklings, the taste should be pretty good."
Liu Feifei spoke up.
The main reason is that night is beginning to slowly fall.
If we don't go back soon, we might have to find our way home in the dark.
"Let's look around some more. If we're going to make steamed buns, let's make them better."
Chen Fan wasn't in a hurry.
Anyway, even if he goes back in the dark, it won't have much of an impact on him.
As for the dangers on the island, they were even less of a threat to him.
If they encounter predators, they can become prey in no time!
