Chapter 165 The Gap
"Xiao Ye, you squeeze out the oil, I want to make an oil lamp."

"Can oil be used to make oil lamps?" Xiao Ye couldn't help but be amazed, the oil lamps usually lighted at home use a kind of oleoresin.

Yun Duo smiled carelessly, "Want to know? Then go to oil refining."

Regarding what Yun Duo will do next, nothing is more curious and surprised than Herman.

Yiluo spontaneously went to light the fire and helped to heat up the cooking pots, which Yun Duo took out temporarily.

It is indeed inconvenient to have an outsider in the family, and many things cannot be used as they want.

While Xiao Ye was refining oil, Yun Duo quietly took out some cotton and twisted it into several strands to make cotton wicks.

Put the refined oil in a small dish, put a wick on it, light it, and the light will burn slowly.

"This is an oil lamp. It is used for lighting at night." Yun Duo explained to Heman while flicking the cotton wick. Heman is the only one who has never seen an oil lamp here.

Yiluo looked at the oil lamp in amazement, which was no different from what they usually used, and sighed softly, "Yun Duo, you really know everything!"

Herman on the side was also stunned. This ice field would be plunged into boundless darkness at night, and half of their life in the ice field was spent in the dark time.

Although this oil lamp is small, it can bring a light to the night on the ice field.

This indicates that they no longer have to return to their residence early and dare not go out because they are afraid of the dark.

It indicates that in the residence, there is no need to be afraid of not being able to see anything and not dare to walk around at will.

Looking at the oil lamp in front of him, Herman's mouth moved, but he was too embarrassed to speak.

Yun Duo smiled, and handed the oil lamp and torch to Herman,

"Patriarch, this is for you. You have seen how I made the oil lamp just now. It is very simple. The prey you hunt in the future will keep the fat."

Looking at the gift in hand, it is light in the palm of the hand, but heavy in the heart.Heman took a deep look at Yun Duo and Xiao Ye, and nodded heavily, "Keep it! Keep it all!"

He brought down the grease just now to give to Yun Duo, and he thought that Yun Duo needed the grease.

Unexpectedly, the grease turned out to be a gift from Yun Duo to the Icelands.

"Xiao Ye, Yun Duo, I want to go back and tell the people the news. During this period of time, good things happened one after another for our Ice Plains people. You are the lucky stars of our Ice Plains people!"

Herman said gratefully.

"Clan Chief Heman, it's hypocritical to say anything more." Xiao Ye teased.

"No, didn't you say that we are friends, and friends should share the blessings." Before Heman left, Yun Duo gave him another handful of cotton wicks.

Looking at Herman's eager footsteps, the couple smiled at each other.

That kind of warmth made Yi Luo's eyes flicker behind him.

The whole family thought they could spend a leisurely afternoon, but they didn't know that after Herman left for a while, more people came to the crystal house in groups, and Herman was the one who led the way.

Clouds and black lines, what kind of trouble is this?
Herman was still holding the materials that Yunduo gave him just now, and said awkwardly, "Yunduo, we wanted to make oil lamps by ourselves, but heck, we don't have the tools to refine oil."

"..." Yun Duo's family is black lined.

They had forgotten that there was no firewood and no pots and stoves in the ice field, but, in the current situation, was it the rhythm of requisitioning her pots and stoves?
One afternoon, the entrance of the crystal house was very lively. People in the ice field were scrambling to use the pots and juggling the oil that changed from solid to liquid...

What made Yun Duo's family even more crazy was that Herman brought back all the remaining musk oxen on the prairie with the people, and was going to decompose and scrape the grease at the door of her crystal house!

If it wasn't for Xiao Ye seeing that Yun Duo's expression was not right and stopping him in time, the snow at the entrance of the crystal house would not be white.

This time, even Beimu joined the oil grabbing army, holding a pot of tallow, hid aside and fiddled with something.

Out of curiosity, Chenchen and Xuanye squatted in the corner of the crystal house with Beimu, watching with great interest.

"Brother, what are you doing? Do you also want to make oil lamps?" Seeing Beimu keep adding inexplicable things to the butter, stirring, kneading, Chenchen asked curiously, holding his head.

Focusing on the oil basin in front of him, Bei Mu said triumphantly, "Is the thing made by brother so simple? Wait, it will be ready soon, and brother will send you off first."

Xuan looked at Bei Mu's hands covered with condensed grease, and raised his eyebrows noncommittally.

After the liquid in the basin was completely condensed, Bei Mu used a dagger to cut the condensed matter into squares, then pressed them out and handed them to Chen Chen, "Smell it, does it smell good?"

"Huh? It smells good, and it has a very faint herbal smell. Brother, what is this?" Chenchen exclaimed holding the solidified butter.

Xuan's eyes had the same doubts as Chenchen's, now Beimu's tail was up to the sky, it's not easy to feel proud.

"This thing is called soap. It is used to wash clothes and take a bath. It is very clean and healthy. I specially added herbal ingredients to it, which can also protect the skin."

"Soap?!" Chenchen's exclamation attracted Yun Duo and Xiao Ye who were at the door. Hearing that what Bei Mu had been working on for a long time turned out to be soap, Yun Duo felt incredible,

"Is that thing made of chemicals?"

Beimu caressed his sleeves, the corners of his mouth slanted, and he said domineeringly, "Grandma, have you ever heard that people who study medicine don't understand chemistry?"

"..." The corners of Yun Duo's mouth twitched, are her children all monsters?However, is this expression too arrogant? "Xiao Ye, do you think this expression is a little beating?"

Thinking of the bitter gourd feast before, Xiao Ye raised the corners of his lips, and said softly, "It seems that the previous lessons are not deep enough, it is very necessary to communicate again."

"..." Bei Mu was confused.

He just made soap, right?If that thing is thrown out, it will be popular in at least half of the continent, right?

How can he be considered a major contributor to the family, right?But why is Mao's treatment different from what he imagined?
When Bei Mu looked up to the sky and asked himself, the basin of soap was divided up in an instant, and then he was sad.

"Chenchen! You traitor! I just gave you the first bar of soap!"

"Oh! Don't chew, are you a puppy!"

"Holy shit, dead face, don't you dare to be so insidious, you actually tripped labor and capital!"

While being guarded by his father and mother, and being chased and intercepted by Xuan and Chenchen, Bei Mu wanted to cry but couldn't understand it, and finally came to a conclusion that his status must have dropped!
As the patriarch, Herman was the busiest this afternoon.He was busy directing the tribe to carry back the musk ox, and he was also busy commanding the tribe to dig back some coal mines.

When the black pulverized coal was piled up next to the crystal house, Yun Duo jumped wildly on his forehead.

She couldn't imagine that next to her dreamlike crystal house, there were not green grass, no singing birds and flowers, but piles of black hills standing upright.

That scene completely shattered her fantasy of the dreamy crystal house.

"Yun Duo, I'm afraid you don't have any materials to make briquettes, so I asked the clansmen to dig up some of them first, so you can figure out how to use them."

Heman ignored Yun Duo's slightly distorted face and smiled authentically.

Staring at Heman, Yun Duo bit his lip bitterly, is this guy a black-bellied person?

This is a world of ice and snow, even if you make briquettes, there is no place to dry them.

Put it directly on the ground, then it is not black briquettes, but ice briquettes, can it burn?
After accepting the facts, Yun Duo first got entangled in the issue of where to put the briquettes.

"Grandma, why don't you make a cave and put these things?"

Chenchen has always been thinking about the issue of digging holes, you know, his idea was just rejected in the morning, which makes him seem useless.

Put a cave?
Yun Duo's eyes lit up, icebergs are also mountains, aren't the mountains hidden under the ice and snow the same as ordinary mountains?

If a cave is made, the briquettes are placed inside, at least they will not freeze, and there are other ways to dry the briquettes besides drying them in the shade.

Holding Chenchen's head, he said, "Chenchen is so smart, she helped grandma solve a big problem!"

"Really?" Chenchen opened her eyes wide and happily asked for confirmation.

"Of course it is true." Yun Duo replied seriously.

"Then can Chenchen make a request?"

"Okay, just ask for anything, Grandma will definitely help Chenchen do it!"

"Grandma, can I not eat bitter melon at night?"

"..."

Beimu's face was filled with joy, and he looked at Chenchen with a grin, this proposal was too much for him!It's not in vain that he loves Chenchen so much!
Xuan lowered his head, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and Grandma's forehead twitched again.

In view of the principle of not dampening the enthusiasm of the little friends, Yun Duo gave up the idea of ​​having a three-day bitter gourd feast for the whole family.

"If you can make a cave to store briquettes, can you also make a cave for people to live in?" Xiao Ye wondered, after all, living in an igloo is elegant, and it can't stand the cold weather.

Bei Mudao, "People don't need caves to live in. You can dig out the structure of the house in the mountains. Isn't that more comfortable?"

"Dig out a house in the mountains? If it doesn't collapse, it is indeed feasible." Xuan also joined the discussion.

The words of the father and son made Yun Duo think of the cave where the dwarves live in fairy tales, which is the underground palace.

"It's a good idea. As long as the structure is reasonable, the house in the mountains is also very safe and practical."

Yun Duo nodded affirmatively. As for the design, no one in the family can compare to Bei Mu, "Son, I will give you a chance to redeem your sins, and I will leave the structural design of the house to you."

"..." Didn't he say a wrong sentence, why should he be enslaved?Bei Mu dared not speak out, the bitter taste in his mouth has not dissipated yet!

Yiluo on the side wanted to join the family several times, but couldn't get in.

She didn't understand what they were talking about. This gap made Yi Luo feel frustrated, and she tried her best to hide her emotions so that she didn't show her emotions on her face.

It doesn't matter, she has a lot of time and opportunities to study, she is not bad.

Taking a gloomy glance at Xiao Ye who was smiling lightly beside Yun Duo, Yi Luo's eyes flickered.

When the whole family had an idea of ​​what to do next, they began to cooperate with each other tacitly.

Xiao Ye and Heman went to the mountain to check the mountain conditions, and Yun Duo left a few Icelanders to start making briquettes together.
