Chapter 94 It's really burning!
"Wow! It smells so good!"
"Fat meat? The smell alone makes me hungry."
"You're craving meat again!"
The goblins' reaction was the complete opposite of the saint's.
Ziyi and Zian were somewhat puzzled.
Zi Yi glanced at the goblin, then turned back and asked, "Master, why boil fatty meat in water?"
Are you planning to eat it now?
Even if every goblin is a carnivore, they still can't eat this much even if they eat until they're sick of it!
Zi'an nodded.
She and Ziyi shared the same doubts.
Li Mosi turned her head to look at her two disciples, and then at the saintess with her nose wrinkled.
He began by saying, "This is called rendering oil, extracting the fat from the meat separately. It's better for preservation this way."
Although the question was answered, the curiosity in the eyes of the two disciples did not dissipate.
Now it was Li Mosi's turn to be puzzled.
"Haven't you seen that jar of white oil? That's rendered from pork fat."
Ziyi suddenly understood: "So that's how that kind of oil is made?!"
He once obtained it from humans!
Zi'an scratched his ear on his head, a little embarrassed.
She said, "I do know that. But why boil it in water?"
Shouldn't it be roasted over fire?
"Hmph." The saint suddenly exhaled a breath from her nose: "Because this way more oil is extracted, you foolish savage."
She couldn't take it anymore!
This oil has a strong, unpleasant smell, just like wild boar meat!
"Hey! You!"
Upon hearing this, Zi'an raised his hand to slap him.
"Ugh~"
Haki Saint scared her off with a bout of dry heaving.
After the saintess finished speaking, she took another breath, and this time her dry heaving was even more severe than before.
Fearing that she might actually vomit, Li Mosi simply handed the vines holding the saintess to Zi Yi.
"Go and supervise the goblin warriors as they work. Take her with you, just in case she actually throws it up."
There was no time for anyone to change their clothes.
Especially for someone like Zi'an, her figure requires a custom-made fit.
There weren't even any clothes in the seized clothing that were her size to change into.
Zi Yi nodded: "Okay, Master... okay."
He was somewhat worried that refining oil here might attract wild animals or something.
But knowing that Zian is here, it seems there's nothing to worry about.
Zi'an asked curiously, "Master, last night when we were reciting the first section, I saw you observing these fat areas. Is our next plan related to oil?"
Zi Yi had only taken a few steps when he turned back: "And there's pine resin, isn't that related to fire?"
"Ugh~" The saintess exclaimed in surprise, retching, "You're going to burn me with fire?"
"ah?!"
Ziyi and Zian both stared wide-eyed.
Burn it?
They exchanged a glance and then looked at Li Mosi.
Li Mosi nodded: "That's right. If the enemy is really that strong, we'll use fire this time."
The two disciples' eyes widened even more.
Li Moss noticed that their pupils were visibly trembling.
The saintess, ignoring her gagging, asked, "It really burns?"
"Burn it? If you can't win, why not burn it?"
Li Mosi nodded calmly and explained her worst-case scenario plan.
"If we really can't win, we'll burn it down and run north. If they want to chase us, they'll have to go around this mountain."
The mountain pass was completely engulfed in flames.
Who dares to chase?
It's true that slave hunters value money over lives, but there's always a limit.
Forcing a hunt during a wildfire will likely result in losing not only money but also your life.
What's the point of risking your life with just a hundred goblins?!
Burning is the only way to fight.
That's good.
Zi Yi relaxed a little.
But Zi'an still felt something was off: "Isn't all that oil a waste?"
She subconsciously began to cherish the food.
Li Moss raised her hand and patted her arm: "We need to survive first before we can think about whether we're hungry or not."
Zi'an's expression was conflicted for a moment, but in the end he accepted the explanation.
Dead people don't need to worry about whether they're hungry or not.
Li Moss added, "And I also have ways to control the fire. No matter what, I will get you through this winter."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yi suddenly relaxed.
He nodded: "Okay, Master. I'll go get to work now."
Li Mosi glanced at this and asked if he had any doubts, but he never doubted his disciple.
He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Zi'an turned to look at Zi Yi, then at Li Mosi.
She went to review yesterday's calculation problems by herself.
Li Mosi glanced at it while rendering the oil and nodded in approval.
Although this orc disciple's calculation skills are so poor that he can't even understand how to play Hearthstone Battlegrounds, his desire to learn is still good.
The effort he needs to put into education is significantly less than it was before he time-traveled.
With everyone busy, the day passed quickly.
The goblins finally roasted all the meat into jerky.
Li Mosi also rendered all the fat and lard into white oil.
The whole day went very smoothly.
The only minor incident was that the oil-making process during the day attracted some animals from the surrounding area.
However, the vast majority of them are small fry that are not worth bothering with.
Just get rid of them.
The slightly larger ones were two groups of wild boars of different sizes and an adult bison.
They were naturally no match for Zi'an.
It's turned into dried meat.
The oil that Li Mosi rendered filled many containers, and their originally abundant containers were suddenly reduced to just two cooking pots.
Even at night, the goblins were still working in the dark, processing logs and collecting resin.
Zi Yi looked at Li Mosi eagerly: "What's the second part? Master?"
Zi'an didn't speak, but her eyes were also fixed on Li Mosi.
The saintess bowed her head, but she listened attentively.
Li Mosi spread the paper on the ground.
He began by saying, "The second paragraph discusses the requirements for personal cultivation and the ways and methods for getting along with others."
"This is what you will teach others when you take over their management roles. So you must remember this well."
This made the saintess's eyes sharpen instantly.
She had already understood the difference in the craftsman in front of her when she heard the previous part.
This made her even more curious about what was to come.
Ziyi and Zian nodded: "Yes, Master."
Li Mosi took out a pen, pointed to the first sentence of the second paragraph, and began to read:
"Our body and hair are governed by the four elements and the five constant virtues. Our bodies are able to be born because of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, as well as the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness."
The saintess paused, her eyes filled with confusion.
The preceding part sounds like magical knowledge.
But it doesn't match the knowledge in her mind.
The two disciples were also puzzled by the second half of the sentence.
Zi'an asked, "Master, I know what 'benevolence' means. But what does 'righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness' mean?"
Judging from the pronunciation, it should be five words.
But she didn't remember the last four.
Although Zi Yi was puzzled, he subconsciously said to Zi An, "Righteousness is to reciprocate the actions of others, and propriety is to establish rules and follow them."
"That's right, that's how I taught you."
Li Mosi nodded.
"Wisdom is intelligence, and trustworthiness is keeping one's word..."
He didn't teach the first section in such a rough and straightforward way as he had before.
At the time, a bunch of terms were left unexplained because it was unnecessary; without physical examples, it would be difficult to explain them.
The two disciples only need to know the general outline for now.
But not this time.
The professor's personal cultivation and ethical principles in the second paragraph, when applied to this era, become a "practical manual for grassroots unity and mobilization based on the family unit."
He had to break it down and make sure his two disciples fully understood it.
