Chapter 213: Salt Making
The old wizard was very pleased to hear the divine envoy teach him how to calculate time, and recorded it with the unique symbols of this place.
Yun Xingzhu looked at the old wizard's symbols written on the animal skin and said, "Wizard, we have our own writing, if you want to learn, I can teach you or Chi, and you can also teach it to other people in the tribe." ”
When the old wizard heard this, a dazzling light burst out of his eyes. He thinks that the words that God has taught them are the words of God, and how wonderful it is to be able to learn the words of God.
The old wizard immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yun Xingzhu in thanks.
Yun Xingzhu couldn't get used to the people here kneeling at every turn, she quickly picked up the old wizard and said, "You and Chi can both learn, I will teach you some words every time I come in the future." ”
Yun Xingzhu decided to go back and find some books with pictures for children to learn words, with pictures they should learn words much faster.
It's the end of summer season, and it's going to be autumn soon, so it's time to start stocking food.
With Yun Xingzhu's method of preserving meat, the young and middle-aged people in the tribe who did not participate in the construction of houses went hunting, and Yun Xingzhu took the women, old people and children of the tribe to catch the sea.
Don't underestimate the children, their mobility is not weak, after Yun Xingzhu taught them what seafood can be eaten, they are all very flexible, not slower than adults.
Every day, Yun Xingzhu and women, the elderly, and children can pick up a lot of seafood, and then if they can't eat it, they dry it and put it in the central warehouse of the tribe for preservation.
Two days later, the salt pond could be used, and Yun Xingzhu asked people to fill the salt pond with some seawater. It's late summer, and it's not just the sun on the beach, but the sea breeze is hot. The water in the salt pond evaporates quickly.
Chi took people to hunt, and now there is a way to preserve meat, so everyone can hunt as much prey as possible. If you can't eat it, marinate it with salt and air dry it to make bacon.
The old wizard watched the food in the warehouse increase every day, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Soon the water in the salt pond evaporated, leaving a layer of yellowing crystals at the bottom of the salt pond. This is sea salt.
Yun Xingzhu tasted the sea salt, which was salty, bitter and astringent, and it could be seen that there were many impurities in it.
Yun Xingzhu asked people to collect the sea salt and carry it back to the tribe.
The people of the Chiyan tribe were all jubilant when they saw that the divine envoy had really made salt.
Chi and the old wizard looked at the yellowing salt excitedly and couldn't stop laughing.
Yun Xingzhu saw that everyone was happy and said: "This is not processed table salt, the current sea salt is not only salty, but also bitter and astringent, we have to remove this bitterness and astringency." Remove most, if not completely. ”
Chi said happily: "Lord Divine Envoy, what you need to do next, just ask." ”
Yun Xingzhu nodded, and asked people to put a cauldron on the shelf, pour the sea salt into the pot, add some water according to a certain proportion to dissolve the sea salt so that it is basically a saturated solution, and then take out the filter she prepared in advance to filter the salt water.
The filtered salt water looks much clearer and no longer so turbid.
Then it is to crystallize and precipitate several salts at different stages through the different solubility of different salts, and finally leave the salt sodium chloride.
This is a very rough production process, and although the salt produced is not very pure, it is very good compared to the salt originally eaten by the Chiyan tribe.
Looking at the final preparation of the salt red and the old wizard danced happily.
Many people in the tribe dipped their fingers in some salt and put it in their mouths to taste, it was really salty salt. And this salt only has a little bitter taste, and the color is also white, which is really good.
They will also make salt, and they will no longer have to exchange so much fur and food for salt.
The whole tribe was boiling, and everyone was singing and dancing.
Yun Xingzhu smiled happily as he looked at the primitive people dancing hand in hand. Happiness can be spread, and she feels extremely happy in her heart.
Yun Xingzhu couldn't explain the solubility to the primitive people or anything, she could only use a few containers and thermometers to teach them how to use them, and operate according to the fixed data she had given, so that the salt produced was not too much, at least much stronger than the yellow, impurities, bitter and astringent salt that the Chiyan tribe had exchanged before.
The salt pond has refilled some seawater, and in two days you will be able to get it again, so that you can make salt once in a few days.
Now they had to marinate the meat every day, and the amount of salt was very large, and they began to use these salts that they made themselves.
As for the surplus in the future, they can store the salt and exchange things with other tribes in the future.
Yun Xingzhu will also supply them with some salt, and now the Chiyan tribe is no longer short of salt to eat.
The salt was made, and Chi didn't forget to give Yun Xingzhu the jade and diamonds collected in the tribe before.
Yun Xingzhu looked at the jade piles that were piled up like a small mountain and a large pile of diamonds that sparkled in the sun, and felt that her heart was numb.
Such a precious diamond was piled on the ground by the people of the Chiyan tribe, and Yun Xingzhu didn't know how to describe her feelings.
Among these diamonds are pink diamonds, which are rarer and more expensive than regular diamonds.
These diamonds, if sold as jewelry, would be an astronomical amount. She felt that she should help the Chiyan tribe more.
Yun Xingzhu left some salt for the Chiyan tribe again, and her salt was all in large packages. There are also large packages of sugar. He also taught the women of the Chiyan tribe to steam steamed buns, and then left some flour.
Seeing that the Divine Envoy had left them so much delicious food, the old wizard Chihe knelt down to Yun Xingzhu to express his gratitude.
Yun Xingzhu hurriedly pulled up the two and said: "These grains are actually grown in the land, and I will slowly teach you to grow grain in the future, and the grain is easy to preserve, so you don't have to starve in the future."
In addition to this rice and noodles, there are also some high-yield foods, which I will also bring to you and teach you how to grow them. ”
Yun Xingzhu plans to introduce wheat, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes into the Chiyan tribe first, so that they can grow their own food, and then the primitive people can move from the hunting stage to the farming stage.
In the future, hunting will no longer be the main source of food, the chances of people being injured and dying will be greatly reduced, and the average life expectancy of primitive people will be extended.
Yun Xingzhu thought about it and felt that he had a long way to go.
However, every time she helps the Chiyan tribe to do something, she increases her experience points, which also makes her full of energy.
Knowing that there would be more food in the future, Chi and the old wizard excitedly knelt down for Yun Xingzhu again.
Yun Xingzhu pulled up the two people again and said very helplessly: "You don't have to kneel to me in the future, everyone can just be casual." As long as you respect me in your hearts. ”
Two men bowed in obedience.
This Yun Xingzhu is not hindering, bowing is much better than kneeling.
