The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 965 Something made of bugs? (seeking subscription)
Li Yuan is still very interested in trying new things, and this is the first time for Li Yuan to make soap. Although there are many unknowns, but thinking about it now, he is still a little excited.

"Don't be humble, anchor, we don't know your craft yet?"

"That's right, is there anything else you can't do?"

"Hurry up, let's see how handmade soap is made!"

"That's right, anchor, don't worry about us, don't worry, we know you can make it!"

Although Li Yuan didn't have much confidence in himself, the fans in the live broadcast room were quite optimistic about Li Yuan, and they all cheered in the live broadcast room.

And many people came directly to Li Yuan's live broadcast room to learn how to make handmade soap.

Everyone is so optimistic about themselves, but it puts a lot of pressure on Li Yuan.

Everything was ready, and Li Yuan finally started to make soap.

"The main thing used to make soap is the fat from this animal hide."

"Everyone can see that these oils have solidified after being exposed to the sun for a long time, but they are still soft when touched by hands."

"The parasitic worms in it grow fat by eating the oil on it. We first get these worms out, and then scrape off the oil and collect it."

Picking one by one, the maggots in the grease would take a lot of effort to clean up, so Li Yuan's method is very simple, that is, to use smoke.

And this method is obviously much faster than the manual method.

Finding some dry firewood and tinder from the woods, Li Yuan started the fire, and then pressed some damp leaves from the forest on it, so that the original fire emitted a lot of smoke.

The animal skin was picked up by Li Yuan with split branches and baked on the fire. Sure enough, according to Li Yuan's method, the bugs started to wriggle within a short while.

The camera was facing the animal skin being roasted, so the fans in the live broadcast room could clearly see the whole process of those bugs escaping...

Indeed, a little disgusting.

"Anchor, you are too bad! Why did you let us see this scene!"

"I'm eating……"

"Young people don't talk about martial arts!"

"Hey, don't say that the anchor's method really works."

"Have all the bugs gone?"

"I'm wondering about one thing. Logically speaking, these bugs should also be proteins, right? If you make soap directly, isn't there any problem?"

Li Yuan nodded.

"Well, theoretically speaking, there is no problem. The grease will be processed later. In fact, the bugs will be invisible after processing."

"However... in order not to let everyone suffer too much spiritual stimulation, let's deal with it like this."

Make soap directly from bugs?
Although it is true that there is no delay in using it, and Li Yuan doesn't care much about it, but that kid Hu Kai knows, and then he will go to the side to feel disgusted.

And when the time comes, someone will definitely jump out of the live broadcast room and say that he is too cruel.

Although this method took a little time, it still works.

In ten minutes or so, those insect repellents had run away completely, only some eggs that were too small did not escape, so Li Yuan had to clean them up again.

On the fire, Li Yuan has put dry wood on the shelf again, keeping it for later use.

Li Yuan: "This animal skin is almost done. Now we need to scrape off all the grease on it and save it for making soap. Don't think that this animal skin is only the size of two palms, but it should be as big as this in the first place." Twice as big."

"The animal hide will shrink severely after being exposed to the wind and the sun. Fortunately, there is a lot of oil on it. It seems... this wild boar should have been very fat when it was alive."

Li Yuan held a small wooden stick in his hand.

The surface of the animal skin after being smoked just now has a certain temperature, and now it will be much easier for the two of them to scrape off the grease on it.

Holding a wooden stick, Li Yuan collected the fat on the pottery pieces little by little.

Because the amount of oil is limited, and Li Yuan can't guarantee a success, all materials must be cherished very much, and they dare not waste a little.

Finally, Li Yuan scraped off all the grease on the animal hides. At this time, a lot of grease was collected in the pottery bowl beside him, but because it was smoked and roasted before, the grease scraped off looked slightly greasy. Ash.

Li Yuan: "The rest of the animal skins are unnecessary, even if they are removed, they will be spoiled, and there will still be fur on them."

"On this point, it is enough to make a bar of soap. Now let's deal with the plant ash we brought earlier."

"Didn't many people question me just now, saying that these two things can really be made into soap? Let me tell you exactly, yes."

"To make soap from plant ash, in fact, the main application is saponification reaction. In layman's terms, the so-called saponification reaction is actually the chemical reaction between strong alkali and oil."

"I think fans with a little common sense know that plant ash is a very representative strong alkaline substance. I used plant ash to wash my hair before because it can effectively remove the oil on the scalp."

"In addition, plant ash can be used as a disinfectant and a fertilizer, and it is also related to its alkalinity."

"Making soap is to make full use of the alkalinity of plant ash and oil to fully react to make the artificial soap we need."

Studio.

"It doesn't sound like it's difficult."

"It's not difficult to know in a while."

"Saponification reaction? I seem to have heard of this."

"But the soap made this way... isn't it too rough?"

"Two old men, what are you afraid of if you are rough, and it's not going out to sell, as long as it works!"

While talking, Li Yuan has already started the second step, which is to deal with plant ash.

Li Yuan took the jar containing the plant ash directly to the river, filled it with some water, sealed the filling mouth with leaves, and shook it vigorously to fully mix the plant ash particles with the water, and the mixed plant ash water became It became grayish black.

Li Yuan put his hand into the water of vegetation and ash, wanting to test the mixing situation, but after putting his hand in, he couldn't help shaking his head.

"Although it is well mixed, there are too many impurities and particles in the plant ash, so it needs to be filtered."

"Wait a minute, I'll find some tools."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan got up and went to the nearby forest, and returned with a large handful of hay two minutes later.

"Use this dry grass to filter it, and it should be ready for use."

Li Yuan placed the temporary container made of leaves on the ground, connected the joints with branches, and fixed them with a few stones.

Roll up the filter net made of dead grass, make a groove shape and place it on it, and then slowly pour the lime water that has been mixed in the jar on top.
