Chapter 44 Discovering Soapberry and Making Homemade Laundry Detergent



As time went by, the pork was cooked.

The outside is baked to a golden brown and crispy color, with a glossy sheen, while the inside is tender and juicy.

Lu Fan placed the roasted meat on a large leaf, picked up the plate of banana and blueberry dessert, and sat by the campfire, ready to enjoy this sumptuous wilderness meal.

He picked up a piece of roasted meat, took a bite, and the tender juices burst in his mouth.

The crispy, caramelized skin and tender meat blended perfectly, bringing a look of satisfaction to his face.

Next, he scooped up a spoonful of banana blueberry dessert and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour blueberry sauce and the soft and chewy banana collided on his tongue, instantly bringing a wonderful taste experience.

"Mmm, this tastes absolutely amazing!" Lu Fan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, his face beaming with a happy smile.

Seeing how happily he was eating, viewers expressed their envy and admiration in the live chat.

After they finished eating, Lu Fan prepared fodder for Big Horn as usual.

After dinner, as darkness fell, night, like a giant black ribbon, slowly enveloped the entire wilderness.

Although it was already dark, Lu Fan estimated that it was only eight or nine o'clock.

As night fell, the campfire that Lu Fan had lit in the camp burned brightly, the leaping flames casting long shadows of him.

The big horn, having eaten and drunk its fill, leisurely chewed on its fodder, occasionally letting out a contented hum.

Lu Fan stood in the open space, picked up the bow and arrow that had been with him for a long time, his eyes revealing focus and determination.

He stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, leaned back slightly, and nocked the arrow and drew the string in one smooth motion.

With a "whoosh," the arrow shot out like a bolt from a bow, landing firmly on his homemade target in the distance.

This arrow was perfect in both power and accuracy.

Lu Fan nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction with his condition.

He knew that in this perilous wilderness, superb archery skills were a vital guarantee for his survival.

Whether he encounters humans or wild beasts, distance is his advantage.

Repeating the archery motion again and again, Lu Fan's muscle memory became more and more profound. Every time he drew the string, it was full of power, and every time he released the arrow, it was full of confidence.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, soaking his clothes, but he was oblivious, immersed in the process of self-improvement.

"Lu Fan is so hardworking."

"Truly the undisputed king of the wilderness."

"With this archery skill and power, wouldn't the Umekawa Treasury of the Sakura Country be a complete waste?"

Time slipped by unnoticed, and when Lu Fan finally stopped, the night was deep, and the sky was full of twinkling stars, as if cheering for his perseverance.

Lu Fan returned to the campfire, added some firewood, and watched the leaping flames as he pondered his plans for tomorrow.

The sweat on his body made him feel sticky.

He noticed that his clothes were filthy.

He had been wearing this outfit for the past few days, exploring everywhere, hunting and mining. The clothes were now stained and smelled bad.

In this wilderness, keeping clothes clean is not only about comfort, but also about health.

So he decided to go into the wilderness the next day to search for something that could clean his clothes.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows.

After a quick breakfast, Lu Fan set off on his exploration journey with Big Horn.

He walked along a path he had never taken before, his eyes carefully searching among the surrounding vegetation.

Along the way, he saw many familiar plants, but none of them were what he needed.

Just as he was feeling somewhat disappointed.

A soapberry tree was spotted to the right front.

Following the prompt, Lu Fan stepped forward and, sure enough, several tall trees caught his attention.

Upon closer inspection, the tree was covered with clusters of bean-like fruits, long and plump.

"Soapberry! Hahaha."

Lu Fan was pleasantly surprised. He had a deep impression of the appearance of soapberry from his knowledge of wilderness survival.

After observing carefully and confirming that everything was correct, he began to pick the soapberries.

These soapberries grow on high branches of trees, but the trunks are covered with thorns, making it impossible to climb them. The only way to get them down is to use a stick.

After Lu Fan fiddled with the wooden stick for a while, the soapberries fell off one after another.

Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.

【Soapberry 30g*】

What is soapberry?

"Judging from its appearance, it should be some kind of bean; it should taste good."

"Being noticed by the great god Lu Fan must be of great use."

"Could it be possible to grow Peashooters to protect the sanctuary?!"

At this point, Zhao Hangjun began to explain to the audience: "Soapberry contains saponins, which are natural surfactants."

Peeling open the soapberry fruit and processing it, such as crushing or soaking, can produce abundant foam, which can remove stains from clothes.

Just like the laundry detergent we use now, it can make dirty clothes clean.

In ancient times, without modern washing products, soapberries were an important laundry material, helping people clean their clothes.

After a bountiful harvest, Lu Fan returned to the camp with the soapberries.

Lu Fan sat on the ground and began to study how to make something to clean clothes using soap.

He first peeled off the outer shell of the soapberry and took out the fruit inside.

Then, find a flat stone, place the fruit on it, and repeatedly crush it with another stone.

As the soapberry fruit is continuously crushed, it gradually turns into a fine paste, emitting a unique fragrance.

To make the soap paste work better for cleaning, Lu Fan also found some wood ash.

He knew that wood ash had a certain cleaning ability, and that it might work even better when combined with soapberry.

Lu Fan added an appropriate amount of wood ash to the soapberry paste, then added some water, and began to stir.

After stirring, the original paste became thicker and the color turned somewhat grayish, but the smell it emitted was reassuring.

"I wonder how effective it will be," Lu Fan muttered to himself.

He took off his socks and poured some water into the earthenware basin.

Then rub the soapberry onto the socks.

Then, he began to rub vigorously, and the stains gradually faded away, while the colors on the socks gradually became brighter.

"Success!" Lu Fan shouted excitedly. He hadn't expected his homemade cleaning products to be so effective.

Viewers in the live stream were amazed by what they saw.

"Wow, Lu Fan is amazing! He can actually make his own laundry detergent!"

"This is the power of knowledge; it can solve all sorts of problems even in the wilderness."

"I've learned a lot of wilderness survival skills from Lu Fan, which might come in handy in the future."

"This expert is an all-rounder, he can do everything!"
