Survival on a deserted island, a fake daughter raises a tiger cub and makes the star cry

Chapter 201 Coconut
When Shi Nianqing took a shower at night, her body felt sticky and she always felt like she couldn't get clean.

Suddenly, an idea I had before came to mind: making soap.

I've wanted to make soap for a long time, but various things kept getting in the way, so I put it off. I didn't expect to remember it while taking a shower.

However, making soap in the wild is not so easy; it requires a lot of materials and takes a long time.

Shi Nianqing silently thought to herself as she washed the Heinz stains off her body.

When I go back to my room to sleep, I always feel sticky all over.

Especially in such a hot place, after eating and drinking to one's heart's content, one wants to pursue hygiene.

The method of making this thing is not that difficult; the main difficulty lies in the difficulty of collecting the materials.

Shi Nianqing lay on the bed thinking. In ancient times, soap was usually made from pig pancreas, but this kind of soap usually smelled terrible and was disgusting even to use for washing dishes.

In her past life, Shi Nianqing had used it once and still couldn't forget the disgusting smell, so this kind of soap made from animal ingredients was the first thing to rule out.

Nobody likes this thing.

What else can be used as a substitute?

Shi Nianqing thought for a long time, and many alternative solutions came to mind, but she just couldn't decide.

The next day, Wu Xuan and Su Muge went out to look for supplies as soon as they got up. No one knows where they went, and they haven't returned yet.

Shi Nianqing had just finished preparing breakfast and was wondering what was going on when she saw Wu Xuan return looking dejected.

Su Muge didn't seem to be in a good mood either. Shi Nianqing raised an eyebrow, wondering if something had happened.

Curious, she asked, "What's wrong with you all?"

Wu Xuan held a brown coconut in his hand. The coconut looked very old, with a small tuft of tender shoots growing on it.

"The coconuts are very old now, and there's hardly any water left. Does this mean we won't be able to eat fresh coconuts until next year?"

Wu Xuan and Su Muge originally planned to pick some coconuts, as they hadn't had them at home for a while and were inexplicably missing them.

Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the place where they usually hang coconuts, we found that all the coconuts had fallen to the ground, or the ones on the trees looked very old.

I picked one from the tree, and it had already sprouted new buds. Not to mention the ones on the ground, the coconut trees had all grown into tiny little buds, which was really disheartening.

They could only search the surrounding area and bring back some simple supplies.

It's a real shame, though, because I didn't realize the coconuts had already sprouted.

Su Muge looked at the coconuts that had grown small teeth, but none of them had any, and felt it was a pity.

Instead, after removing the outer layer of skin, it was split open with a dagger.

"Sister Shi, why are you still going to bother? There's hardly any water left inside. I just shook it, and there's practically no water left."

Wu Xuan and Su Muge had opened several coconuts before. After opening them, they found a small white ball inside the coconuts. The water inside had no taste, and the flesh was hard and not tasty at all.

They couldn't even bite into it, and apart from having a slight coconut flavor, it was completely different from any coconut they had ever eaten before.

Upon hearing their words, Shi Nianqing continued working, quickly cracking open the coconut in her hand.

Inside, a fist-sized white sphere was revealed, with fine, dense patterns on it, which looked rather attractive.

Shi Nianqing broke off the small ball, took a bite, and it tasted like foam, but with a faint sweetness and a rich coconut flavor.

Besides these, there's also coconut meat, about the thickness of a little finger. Having this solves the problem I've been thinking about all night. "This is coconut meat, it's edible, you guys try it."

As Shi Nianqing spoke, she broke the coconut into several pieces, giving each person a small piece.

Several people spoke with skepticism.

Wu Xuan initially frowned, saying, "This thing tastes so strange, it's like eating a tasteless sponge."

"Hmm? It tastes pretty good, with a faint sweetness and coconut flavor. It's alright."

After eating it, Suya nodded silently: "This thing gives me the feeling that it's okay to eat, but not to eat. It seems a bit wasteful to put so much effort into eating this thing."

Su Muge nodded in agreement. Although the coconut was a little sweet and had a coconut flavor, the texture was really not good.

It even feels like chewing on a sponge. It's really unnecessary to waste so much energy climbing a tree and going to such lengths to pry it open.

Shi Nianqing then revealed a mysterious smile: "Actually, this coconut treasure is just a bonus. What's really useful is the coconut meat in my hand."

Shi Nianqing placed the coconut meat in her hand in front of her friends.

Wu Xuan frowned: "What use is this thing? It's rock hard, completely different from the soft and tender coconut meat I ate before."

Su Muge initially thought this thing was edible, so he put it in his mouth and took a bite. It was hard and he couldn't chew it at all.

Although it smells quite nice, I really can't think of anything I could use it for.

The viewers in the live stream were quite curious, mainly because this thing looked really hard, and they couldn't even break it by hand.

I'm also curious, what exactly is the purpose of this thing?

[It looks rock hard, and the little ball in the middle doesn't taste good either, so why is Sister Shi so happy?]

[I'm so curious! Could this thing have some other use that we don't know about?]

I have a feeling that Sister Shi is about to give us another amazing surprise. I've already got my seat ready and am studying hard.

……

"After cleaning the coconut meat, you can put it in a jar and soak it in water to preserve it for a long time. You can use it to stew chicken soup. After stewing, the coconut meat will become soft and tender, and the taste will be better than before."

"Also, this stuff can be used to make coconut oil. Do you know what coconut oil is?"

The three friends shook their heads in confusion.

Shi Nianqing was speechless.

Yes, how could people in the interstellar age know the wonderful uses of coconut oil?

"Coconut oil can be used not only for cooking, but also as a hair mask to nourish hair, for rinsing, or for skin care. Most importantly, it can be used to make soap, which makes bathing much more convenient."

Shi Nianqing explained the uses of coconut oil, and the three friends stared wide-eyed.

"This thing is actually quite useful?"

"Wow, that's amazing!!"

"Wow!!"

This was the first time they had ever heard of it; they had thought it was useless, but they never expected it to have so many hidden uses.
