Chapter 443 The City Lord's Other Side! The Rubber Factory!
"Hehe. That's easy." Xiao Yu laughed heartily.
He directly sent a telepathic message to the fire unicorn working in the forging area, telling it to come over quickly.
A moment later, a flame shot into the sky and flew into the city lord's mansion.
"Alright, when it comes to controlling flames, it's the most professional." Xiao Yu patted Xiao Cao's head and said with a smile, "Come on, let's try again."
"But mulberries and bodhi fruits are too precious," the little grass said uncertainly.
She had already wasted a lot of rare and precious materials in order to refine the Qingyuan Pill.
She was afraid that Xiao Yu would be angry with her and blame her for wasting things, so she would rather not refine pills at all.
"Not afraid!"
Xiao Yu smiled and encouraged, "There are plenty of these things, use them as you like."
"Ah."
Encouraged by Xiao Yu, Xiao Cao instantly recovered.
He touched the crystal bracelet on his left hand and took out a bunch of herbs from it.
As Xiao Yu's alchemist, she naturally possessed a spatial bracelet.
"Fire Qilin, light the fire!"
Once Xiao Cao had prepared the necessary rare and precious materials, Xiao Yu patted the fire unicorn that had transformed into a puppy in his arms.
"Woof woof!" The fire qilin barked twice and immediately spewed out a ball of crimson fire.
The flames seemed to come alive, drilling into the bottom of the furnace.
Instantly, the temperature of the entire furnace, forged from deep-sea black iron, rose sharply.
Soon, the entire pitch-black cauldron was tinged with a faint blue light.
"That's enough, this temperature is perfect." Little Grass's eyes lit up with delight, and she quickly reminded him.
In the past, it would have taken her at least half an hour to heat the cauldron to this level.
But now, with the arrival of the Fire Qilin, the temperature has already turned the furnace red-hot.
Soon, the fire in the cauldron reached a sufficient temperature, and Xiaocao began to add the ingredients one by one.
Then, use a wooden stick to stir it continuously to prevent the bottom of the pot from burning and sticking to the bottom.
Soon, a familiar scene appeared: a large number of dark green bubbles emerged.
This time, just as Xiao Cao was about to use a slotted spoon to scoop it up, Xiao Yu stopped her, saying seriously, "From now on, you don't need to do these kinds of small things yourself."
As he spoke, he telepathically communicated with the slime.
Soon, a Tier 3 slime clone hopped over.
The third-tier slime has higher intelligence and can help the little grass a lot.
"From now on, it will be your assistant. Make it do whatever you need to do, and you're not allowed to refuse this time." Xiao Yu reached out and pinched Xiao Cao's little face, leaving two red marks on the girl's pretty cheeks.
The little girl pouted, but inside she was secretly delighted.
With the help of the Fire Kirin and the slime clone, and with Xiao Yu watching over them the whole time, they were able to get things done.
This time, everything went very smoothly, without any unexpected incidents.
Finally, a fragrant aroma of medicinal pills wafted over.
With a 'boom', a slight energy fluctuation was emitted.
The lid of the cauldron was opened.
Xiao Yu saw that there were ten pills lying inside the cauldron.
Crystal clear.
It's obvious at a glance that this is no ordinary person.
"Hahaha... It's finally done!"
Seeing this, Xiaocao burst into laughter.
Then, her eyes rolled back and she collapsed.
"Little Grass!" Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise, and immediately reached out to hug the girl.
After checking, it was confirmed that the girl had been staying up too late.
Those dark circles under his eyes are the best proof.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu had a thought and reached out to place his hand on the girl's forehead. A stream of emerald green light flowed into the girl's body, quickly helping to regulate her physical discomfort.
"Sigh, this girl is really something."
Looking Xiaocao over, I noticed that she still had a head of fluffy hair, covering half of her face.
Furthermore, those hands, which should have been delicate and fair, had turned a bright green.
It's obvious at a glance that it must have been contaminated by various herbal juices from washing all sorts of herbs every day.
"From now on, we can't let her wash the herbs with her hands anymore."
Although the slime has gained sentience, it can't do everything.
It does a great job of clearing away herbs and cleaning up all kinds of trash.
However, it doesn't quite understand when it comes to specific details.
"Perfect timing, now that we have so many rubber trees, let's get her a pair of gloves."
At dinner time, Xiaocao was groggily woken up and brought to the city lord's mansion restaurant.
"Little Grass? What happened to you?" Everyone stared wide-eyed when they saw Little Grass.
"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Xiaocao looked at the girls blankly, with a cute and innocent expression.
Chu Ling Shuang pulled her to a basin of water, and Xiao Cao looked down and was completely stunned.
Before, when Xiao Yu left, he saw that Xiao Cao's hair was fluffy and messy, so he patiently braided it into two small braids for her. Coupled with the little girl's plain and unremarkable small body and her somewhat silly expression, he added to that.
Looking at her like this, she's definitely a total village beauty.
"Does brother-in-law have a taste for this?" Xinglan asked, her eyes darting around as she looked at Xiaocao.
The women looked at Xiao Yu with strange expressions.
I never expected that the city lord would have such a gentle side.
"Ahem..." Under the gaze of the women, Xiao Yu blushed and said in a serious tone, "Xiao Cao is usually either refining medicine or pills. From now on, you should take better care of her."
Hearing this, Chu Ling Shuang felt embarrassed.
She shared a room with Xiaocao.
But she herself is very easygoing, so asking her to take care of others would be asking too much of her.
Didn't you see she always has short hair? It's for a clean and neat look.
Honglian smiled and looked at Xiaocao, saying, "From now on, I will help Xiaocao comb her hair every morning. It looks quite nice this way."
Xinglan also spoke up, "I will make sure she eats."
"Huh?" Little Grass was stunned.
Everyone was so enthusiastic; she felt a little uncomfortable.
But she hadn't said anything yet.
"It's settled then." Xiao Yu waved his hand, making the decision directly.
As he spoke, he took out a pair of thin, flesh-colored rubber gloves from his pocket and handed them to Xiaocao, saying, "Wear these when you're cleaning herbs or something, and your hands won't get dirty."
"Oh, thank you, Lord City Lord." Little Grass blushed and accepted the gift, nodding obediently.
The city lord was too kind to her; she simply couldn't refuse.
"Hey, Lord City Lord, what is this?" Qi Sha asked curiously when he saw the thin thing.
She thought the thing looked very bouncy and really wanted to own a pair.
Xiao Yu smiled and explained, "Rubber gloves, made of rubber, you don't need them."
"Rubber can be used to make gloves?" The women all looked puzzled.
They had heard Xiao Yu say before that rubber was a magical plant.
I never expected it to have this effect.
“It can be used to make not only gloves, but also many other things,” Xiao Yu said earnestly.
Rubber was crucial to the entire Industrial Revolution in Earth's past.
"Brother, are these gloves expensive to make?" Honglian asked.
She noticed that the grass's hands were all green and guessed what it was.
In fact, the women on the plantation also faced similar situations.
Every day, when people are busy fertilizing and harvesting vegetables, their hands get covered in green foliage.
Moreover, these bluish-green colors are difficult to clean.
Xiao Yu and Yingzi no longer need to work in the fields, but the greenish-blue color on their hands still can't be washed off.
If you're not careful, you can sometimes get scratched by plant roots and stems.
If such gloves could be widely adopted, this problem could be avoided.
"Sure, let's just open a rubber factory."
