Salt, a must-have condiment in every household in the previous family, is cheap and affordable, and it seems to be inconspicuous. However, it is an indispensable material component of the human body, and if you take less of it, you will get sick, and if you take too much, you will also get sick.

After Qin Song's observation, under the high-intensity devil training, this group of pirates had a lot of physical exertion every day, and the dripping sweat would further aggravate the consumption.

Although some salt can be obtained from animals and fish, it is still a drop in the pan.

Especially during the two days of training, those pirates gritted their teeth and tried their best to persevere, but some people continued to have symptoms of limp limbs, nausea and vomiting. This is an instinctive reaction of the human body that cannot be suppressed even by a curse.

After Qin Song's preliminary inference, it should be caused by the lack of salt intake, and he had seen many students have this symptom during military training, and the way was to supplement salt water.

Table salt, in the Dark Ages, was not as expensive as spices and honey, and it was also a precious commodity. Salt, which was indispensable, was often determined by the trade routes, and a thriving metropolis was often located at the choke point of the salt routes, or occupied the salt mines themselves. And the smaller city-states and local territories are basically in the places where the salt road must pass.

For example, the source of salt in Blackstone Collar is the salt road from Daotan Town to Deepwater City. Salt brings considerable taxes, and it also represents status, for example, at the banquet of the nobility, the place of the salt shaker is next to the most noble person - the position of the salt shaker is the main position. 手机端 一秒記住『→m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m』 provides you with wonderful \ novel reading.

The nobles could eat salted meat to supplement their salt, and the peasants ate only air-dried meat dipped in pitiful salt.

The Black Stone Collar is adjacent to the sea, but the terrain is mostly steep and steep cliffs, and it does not have the important condition of drying salt - salt farms. And boiling seawater directly, you can get coarse salt.

But coarse salt, which contains too many impurities, is not something to be eaten casually, this is basic common sense. If you are unlucky, you will eat nitrate and phosphorus for a long time, and you will not even be able to save your life.

The pirates believed that their masters took pleasure in torturing them, but Qin Song was actually training them and purifying their bodies and minds, and there were not many of them in the first place, so it could be said that everyone was a valuable human resource.

Seeing that the pirates would be useless if they continued to practice, Qin Song had to put salt making on the agenda.

The clever tongue Mons flapped his wings and soared through the air, and under the bright midday sun, the scenery on the ground was scattered and the vision was clear. In coastal areas, due to the infiltration of seawater, or geological changes, there is a high probability that some natural salt deposits exist. Top starters

Soon, Mons made a surprise discovery. Along the banks of the rushing rivers, a number of long-washed reef shores appeared, and the surface of the reef shimmered in the sunlight with a white water-like sheen.

Falling lightly on a beech tree, you can clearly see that the reef is covered with a layer of pale yellow crystals. And not far away, there is a herd of wild deer, led by a stag, wagging their tails and swatting mosquitoes, while quenching their thirst with their tongues by the river. And the wild deer that drink enough water will stick out their tongues and lick the crystals on the beach.

People need salt, and so do animals. Carnivores can ingest it from blood and meat, while herbivores tend to go the other way, eating special crushed ores or licking natural salts.

If Qin Song guessed correctly, the crystals on the beach reef were some kind of naturally formed salt. As long as it is salt, edible salt can be obtained through a common process of crushing, dissolving, filtering and boiling.

This is also a valuable knowledge of nature.

In the camp of the Sage's Canyon, as soon as the queue exercise ended, five or six pirates bent over and vomited violently. First mate Ralph, on the orders of his master, allowed them to disband the group for a short break.

"Ralph, do you say you still have a mission today?" Cascent, a little man who had just finished squatting in the toilet outside the camp, caught up with Ralph in front of him, his face a little depressed: "I didn't finish the master's fishing task, but I feel like I can't hold it anymore." ”

"If you can't hold it, you have to hold it. Ralph touched his unevenly shaved bald head, his scrubbed face was extremely white, with a little impatience: "The master is merciful enough, but you can't even catch a few fish, what a waste." ”

Ralph, who was in charge of the discipline of the team, was granted immunity almost every day, which made him feel more comfortable, and he also had authority among pirates, and he became more and more in awe of his master, and became a veritable hardcore dog.

"My hair is dizzy and my eyes are often black. Cascent's face was pale, and his legs were sore when he walked: "Both legs are almost out of order." ”

"What are you doing with me?" Ralph glared at him, "If you don't want to die, you should talk less nonsense and focus on your work." ”

There was a look of despair in Cascent's eyes, and before the two of them could reach the camp, they heard the cheers of many people.

"Master, leave it to me!"

"Master, I'm willing to go!"

"Choose me, master. I'm trying. ”

Needless to say, the great master promulgated new tasks. Ralph glanced back at the wilted Cassente and scolded, "You stupid, you're still grinding, don't hurry up and grab the task." ”

"Oh...... Oh. Cascent gritted his teeth, spread his legs and ran over, forced his way through the crowd, and knelt on the ground with a big stride, crying bitterly: "Please, master." I want to be exempted, and I will be sure to complete the task. ”

Standing on the branch, Mons looked at the weeping fellow, his head tilted and he laughed: "It turns out that you stupid person who can't even catch a fish." ”

"Please, master, give me a chance!" Cassente shivered as his head arched to the ground.

Mons glanced at him before he spread his wings and said in a loud voice, "Merciful master, today I give you all the most generous gifts!

Group missions?

That means that everyone can get today's immunity! The pirates who reacted erupted into a burst of cheers: "Thank you for the kindness of our master, we will definitely work hard to complete it!"

"It's a holiday, it's a holiday!" even Ralph's expression was excited.

"Now, Ralph, get everybody ready with containers for stuff. Then, the whole team, ready to go with me!"

"Yes, master!" Ralph cried in the loudest voice, "Everyone, go and prepare the containers." When the horn sounds, line up here!"

Whew...... The excited pirates scattered in all directions, burrowed into the shacks, and scrambled to find the containers, and then quickly returned, standing in two neat columns, all with excitement on their faces.

"Run, walk, left, right, left, one, two, three, four!"

Amid loud slogans, the procession marched methodically along the riverbank. After nearly ten miles of trekking, I finally came to the bare reef shore of the riverbank.

"Listen, everybody!" Mons hovered in mid-air, "see that layer of yellow powder on the stones, scrape as much as I can, load them all up, and bring them to the camp before sunset!"
