Chapter 282 (1/2)

The thick liquid in the stone pot bubbled with white gas and blisters.

The cold stone house began to fill with a special smell of beeswax.

Ye Xi was afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning, so he removed the stone plate used to block the door, revealing a gap.

Outside the house, the cold air was blowing. Ye Xi sat beside the burning fire, stirring the liquid in the stone pot with a spoon. After the honeycomb fragments inside completely melted, he stamped out the fire with his feet.

At this time, there are many black gray impurities floating up in the stone pot. Ye Xi patiently scoops up the impurities with a spoon and filters them out until there is only pure yellow viscous liquid left in the stone pot.

He put down the spoon, picked up the Gaga in his arms and stuffed it to the broken feather: ”you are in charge of Gaga here, I'll go out for a visit.”

Broken feather nods: ”good.”

”Chirp!”

Ye Xi went out of the door and came back after a long time. When he came back, he still held a large bundle of very long things like straw sticks.

The cold air and the falling snowflakes were brought into the stone house by Ye Xi.

Now it's snowing outside, and ye Xi's head and shoulders are covered with a lot of crystal snow.

As soon as ye Xi came in, duanling jumped up from the ground and said anxiously, ”my Lord, the things in that pot have changed!”

”Don't worry.”

Ye Xi comforted him. He slowly put down the bundle of grass and patted the snow on his body. Then he went to the stone pot to have a look.

At this time, the yellow liquid in the stone pot has all solidified and completely turned into paste.

Ye Xi said with a smile: ”it's OK, that's it. Now come and help me peel the grass.”

”Weeding?” Duan Ling looked at the bundle of grass curiously.

Ye Xi sat down on the ground and took one of them out of the bundle at will: ”you see, that's it.”

He pinched off the bottom of the grass, then pinched the white wick with his fingernails and pulled it hard. A long white straw wick was pulled out.

Broken feather curiously sniffed the tender grass core, and like a wild animal, he stretched out his tongue and licked it: ”it's sweet!”

Ye Xi waved with a smile: ”don't lick it. Come to help me peel it together. Time is tight. Everything should be done before the evening.”

”Oh.” Duan Ling sat next to Ye Xi obediently and drew the drafting core one by one according to his appearance.

It was half an hour after all the wicks had been pumped out. Ye Xi picked up the bundle of tender and tender straw and made a fire to dry the moisture in the wick.

While he was baking straw cores, he took some logs and began to make a pile of cuboid molds.

The moisture content of the grass core was gradually dried. Each of the grass roots was nearly one meter long. So ye Xi cut them into several sections and put them aside.

The fire under the stone pot was raised again, and the solidified things melted again. Ye Xi filtered out the impurities again, and then slowly poured the melted, hot yellow liquid into the mold.

Ye Xi: ”Xiaoling, you can insert the grass core.”

Duan Ling nodded and her bright black eyes carefully looked at the liquid in the mold and carefully placed the straw core in the center of the mold.

”My Lord, what is the use of this thing?” Xiao duanling finally couldn't help asking.

Holding the large stone pot full of liquid, ye Xi said, ”it's something used for lighting. It's called a candle. It can be lit like a torch. A candle can burn for a long time, and it doesn't smell like a torch. ”

As long as anyone who has used the candle knows, it is not only the two advantages mentioned above. Generally, no one will use the torch in indoor places where candles can be used.
