Chapter 141 Making Ancient Candles
Cang Xiao thought so in his heart, but he knew he couldn't, because it would hurt Susu and the cub. He lowered his head and kissed Bai Susu, carefully leaving a kiss on her lips.
Cang Xiao was sensitive and humble when he was with Bai Susu. He usually stayed behind her silently and never dared to be intimate with her. But today he took the initiative to kiss her and looked at her cautiously, with temptation and desire in his eyes.
Seeing that she did not refuse, Cang Xiao continued to kiss her. The hot kiss took her breath away, and she became excited. She felt the changes in Cang Xiao. He became more and more excited, and the wolf ears on his head trembled slightly, showing his excitement.
Bai Susu's remaining rationality pulled her out of her excitement. She pressed her hands against his chest and said, "Cang Xiao, you can't do that now. I'm in the middle of my pregnancy and I have a cub in my belly. I can't..."
Hearing her voice, Cang Xiao controlled himself, lowered his head to Bai Susu's chest, rubbed his head against her body, and whispered: "Susu, don't worry, I won't..."
Cang Xiao endured the discomfort all over his body. He didn't dare to move, fearing that he would have evil thoughts again. Bai Susu turned around and hugged him: "Cang Xiao, after I give birth to the beast cub, the next one will be your wolf cub. Can you wait a little longer?"
"Okay." Cang Xiao was very excited when he heard it and raised his head to respond to Bai Susu's kiss. Then Bai Susu fell asleep in Cang Xiao's arms, and Cang Xiao held it in for the whole night.
……
Day two.
Cang Xiao didn't sleep well the night before, and he felt listless the whole day. He had dark circles under his eyes and his eyes were dull.
The beastly husbands knew what he had experienced last night as soon as they saw him. He was very depressed because they had been going through the same thing these days.
After breakfast, Mei Wuzhi went out to summon the fox orcs to collect the ashes from the tribe. Lan You, the only one who was not injured, took care of the tribe's affairs and then continued to go out hunting, looking for prey to bring back and raise.
Bai Po went to find insects and leaves to feed the captive prey, while Cang Xiao stayed by Bai Susu's side to accompany her.
Bai Susu realized that it would be inconvenient for everyone without lights at night. In order to avoid causing another fire, she asked the system: System, is there any way to change the current situation?
[Host, you can exchange candles with me for those orcs. The orcs can use the candles to get light, so that they can still gather together for warmth at night. The old orcs and cubs will have a light source and don't have to worry about not being able to see at night.]
She needs to exchange candles and distribute them to everyone. There are more than 400 orcs in the three major tribes. How many points does she need to spend to exchange them?
She thought about it: After so many days and nights, and with so many orcs, I won’t have enough points if I keep exchanging them. I might as well think of other ways.
Bai Susu thought about it and asked again: System, do you know how to make candles?
[Of course, this system isn't omnipotent, but I have everything and methods that the host needs.]
Bai Susu was delighted: System, tell me how to make candles. I want to make candles and teach everyone the method.
She thought that she was going to try making candles, and when she succeeded, she would teach everyone the method.
In this way, after everyone masters the method, they can find the materials and make it themselves without having to pay points from her to redeem them. Once this method is passed down, it will be convenient for everyone from generation to generation.
You can take it to Beast City for trading in the future.
【Fine. 】
The system responded, and an interface popped up in front of Bai Susu, which recorded the method of making candles using ancient methods:
【Materials: Chinese tallow tree, Method:
1. Put the white granular Chinese tallow tree seeds into a pot and boil them with water until the white waxy layer on the outside becomes soft, then take it out and peel it off easily.
2. Place it on a fine sieve and rub it to rub out the white wax on the surface. Put the rubbed wax into the pot and continue to boil it to get the wax oil.
3. Use fine gauze to filter out the wax oil and let it solidify overnight to obtain solidified white wax. Then melt the white wax, put it into a bamboo tube and add cotton thread to shape it. Then take it out and use it.
"Is this the ancient way to make candles?" Bai Susu stared at the method on the interface, frowning. She understood the method, but what was Chinese tallow tree made of? She had never seen it before and didn't know what it was.
Bai Susu's eyes were attracted by a picture in the corner. She clicked it lightly, and the picture popped up on the page instantly.
[Host, the tree in the picture is a tallow tree. It is a sun-loving plant that prefers high temperatures and sunny environments. This system has detected that this plant is found near the Fox Clan Mountains.]
[The Fox Clan's mountain range is high and has many sunny sides. The Chinese tallow tree is nearby, so the host doesn't have to worry about running out of materials.]
After the system introduction, Bai Susu looked at the picture carefully. The appearance of the Chinese tallow tree is oval and white in color. One seed is about the size of a peanut. Several seeds are concentrated in a cluster and hang on a branch, like balls of cotton.
It is said that this white layer is the wax layer, which is the material for making candles. What she needs to do is to purify this wax layer.
This thing is also a traditional Chinese medicine, which can promote diuresis, reduce swelling, detoxify and kill insects.
"System, you said there are Chinese tallow trees near the Fox Clan Mountains. I need you to provide me with their location."
【no problem. 】
As Bai Susu spoke, she took out a white paper and a pen from the system space and drew the appearance of this thing. She looked at her drawing with disgust on her face. How could the beastly husbands recognize this horrible look?
When Mei Wuzhi returned, she showed him the drawing and described the appearance of the Chinese tallow tree. Mei Wuzhi was very clever. Combining what she said with what she had drawn, he knew what she was talking about. He tentatively asked, "Could it be that what Susu wants is a medicinal tree called the white seed tree?"
Bai Susu was distracted.
[Host, this tallow tree is called the white seed tree in this world of beasts because of its white fruit.]
Bai Susu understood immediately after hearing this and nodded. "Yes, Wuzhi, I need this thing to try to make something that can illuminate the dark - called a candle. I need you to find the material."
Hearing that she wanted to do some "experiments" again, Mei Wuzhi smiled indulgently and took the drawings from her hand. The tenderness in his eyes was like water: "Okay, we will go find them for you. You just wait for us at home and don't go anywhere."
"it is good."
Mei Wuzhi took Bai Po and Lan You away, leaving the strongest Cang Xiao to protect them, and then went to look for Bai Zishu according to the location Bai Susu said.
After dark, the three beastmen found the three beast bags of Chinese tallow tree materials and came back. In the next few days, Bai Susu tried to make it herself according to the method given by the system.
During this period, the beastly husbands watched by her every time she took a step. Including the number of failures, she did it more than ten times in total, and the beastly husbands also learned the steps and methods.
Bai Susu wrote down the reasons for her failure and continued to improve her method. Later, Bai Po and Lan You took this method and taught it to the people in the White Tiger and Mermaid tribes. For a time, a craze for wax making swept the tribe.
Fortunately, many orcs succeeded and participated in sharing their experiences to help other orcs.
Time flies, and a month passed in a flash. It was the day when Bai Susu gave birth to the cub. Several beast husbands were guarding the door, looking inside anxiously.
Bai Po paced back and forth, looking anxious: "Will one of the cubs Su Su is pregnant with be mine?"
