As expected, after being guided by Su Chengyi, Ruyi became excited.
"This fat has many uses."
?When she told Su Chengyi about the soap-making process, she looked so excited that Su Chengyi was shocked.
?However, during this period he still needed to focus on the soap-making method that Ruyi mentioned, so even though he was excited by Ruyi's energetic look, he could only suppress his emotions.
?After listening to Ruyi's narration, he memorized the method of making soap.
?First, use shells to obtain quicklime, use wood ash to boil lye, mix the two, then add the boiled lard, pour in the upper layer of lye water that has been left overnight, and then add crushed fine salt to form a salt paste. After that, put it into a bamboo tube to set and leave it for 3 days.
?After 3 days, the soap is fully solidified. Split the bamboo tube to remove the soap from the mold, then cut it into pieces of soap and place them in a bamboo basket in a ventilated and cool place to allow them to slowly saponify for a month.
?After listening to the whole process, Su Chengyi's face gradually became gloomy.
"We'll have to wait another month!"
?He originally thought that after getting the method of making soap from Ruyi, he would be able to make it quickly and then use it for his own purposes.
?But after hearing that the soap would have to wait a month before it could be saponified and dried and used, he felt a little anxious.
?After all, the weather is getting colder and the situation in their village is getting worse.
?Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people who can go out to rob. As for hunting, after the heavy snow blocks the mountain, I am afraid we can only spend the winter in the village.
?So the most urgent thing now is to find a way to make a living for the people in the village.
?Originally, he wanted to use soap to sustain life in the village.
?However, it will take another month to make the soap, and this month is indeed too long considering the urgent needs of their village.
?Seeing that Su Chengyi didn't speak for a long time, Ruyi quietly raised her eyes and looked at her. Seeing that Su Chengyi's expression was not as good as before, she spoke again anxiously.
"I know this soap takes a long time to make, but it's worth the wait. If we don't use the wild boar fat now, the longer we wait, the longer we'll have the soap."
?After Ruyi said this, Su Chengyi's eyes moved.
?She was right. Now that the wild boar had been hunted back, wouldn’t it be a waste of his enthusiasm if he didn’t use the fat to make soap?
"Can the method you described really be used to make soap?"
Before deciding to give the lard to Ruyi to make soap, Su Chengyi wanted to confirm it one last time.
?And Ruyi’s mood was becoming more and more excited.
"Don't worry! This method can definitely make soap!"
?Before she came here, she was obsessed with handmade soap for a while, and she did in-depth research on the soap-making process.
?Then came a long period of action.
?But at that time she did use this method to make various kinds of soap.
?Although there are no exaggerated molds and dyes in this village, this pure natural soap can capture her heart more.
Looking at Ruyi's confident assurance and hearing what she said in her heart, Su Chengyi was sure that she could make the soap.
After looking at him for a long time without any response, Ruyi began to feel anxious.
"How's it going? Is my method okay? Is it good enough to pay off a bite of pork?"
There were stars in her eyes, as if that piece of pork was her life-saving food.
Su Chengyi really felt funny in his heart, but he managed to hold it back.
Thinking back to how he had successfully produced fine salt, it wouldn't be a bad idea to reward her with a couple of bites of pork.
"This method still needs to be verified. Once the soap is made, you can eat this pork."
He didn't want Ruyi to easily eat the wild boar he had hunted with great difficulty.
?Ruyi, who was standing by, became deflated instantly after hearing her decision.
"Hey, the pork was right next to me, but you pulled it back. If you don't plan to share it with me, don't give me hope!"
Ruyi muttered softly, but she didn't expect that all her words were heard clearly by Su Chengyi who was standing beside her.
?At this moment, she was in a low mood and could no longer control her stomach. For a moment, the room was filled with the symphony of her stomach.
?The noisy sound made Su Chengyi frown slightly.
"Can you please take care of your stomach and stop making such grumbling sounds? How am I supposed to sleep?"
Ruyi took two deep breaths, stood up instantly, and threw the towel in her hand on Su Chengyi's bed with a "pa".
"Do you think I wanted my stomach to growl? After being hungry for so long, anyone would growl with hunger, okay? If you don't want to hear it, quickly bring me some food. I promise you, as long as I'm not hungry, you'll never hear my stomach growl again!"
?Her angry look made Su Chengyi really want to laugh, so he had to look away to suppress his uncontrollable laughter.
"Go to the kitchen and ask Mrs. Liu to give you something to eat to fill your stomach."
Ruyi was thinking about how to confront Su Chengyi to vent her anger, but suddenly she got his permission to go out for food, and all her grievances disappeared in an instant.
"Really? Then I'm going out to eat!"
?However, in the next moment, she suddenly seemed to think of something and immediately lost her temper.
"But even if I went, they probably wouldn't give me any food! If it wasn't you who gave the order, who would believe you would give me some food at this time?"
Su Chengyi frowned. He didn’t expect that this little girl was so thoughtful. She knew that she would run into a wall with Mrs. Liu.
"Take my token with you. When she sees it, she will naturally give you something to eat."
"Token? Where is it?"
"At my waist."
?When talking about the location of the token, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Su Chengyi's face.
?Before, his token was always hung on his waistband, but this time, the place where he was injured by the wild boar was on the side of his waist.
?When Doctor Zhang applied medicine to her, he had pulled his pants down to expose the entire wound.
?Now, the place where the token was hung has long been moved, and its current location is more hidden.
