Chapter 18 Seafood Powder

In this way, the people who originally watched the well went to report to the villagers, but left the patriarch and Shen Yunting to watch by the well, and Shen Xiaoquan also went to report the news, and when the people in the village knew, Shen Xiaoquan returned home, and immediately instructed the wife and daughter who made bamboo utensils to hurry up and boil the salt first, and the other work was thrown away first.

When she saw the mobilization of the whole village, every household was full of smoke, Shen Lan really didn't expect that her cheating would cause such a big reaction, and she couldn't help muttering a little in her heart, and took this opportunity to ask Shen's mother something about salt, and at this time Shen Lan knew how expensive salt was in this era.

A pound of official salt costs 220 wen, and when the price was high in the past, it was sold at a price of 360 wen, and the minimum price of private salt was 50 or 60 wen, and when the price was high, it also needed 160 wen, and at this time, the price of labor was only about 12 to 20 wen, that is to say, an adult laborer could only get 12 to 20 wen for a day's work, and such a price was a very expensive burden for a family, and many poor families did not see salt all year round.

When she first heard the news, Shen Lan was very excited, she had a sea of seawater, how much salt she had to boil, as long as she took out the salt and sold it, she would make a fortune, so thinking about it, Shen Lan was secretly happy in her heart, but before she was happy for too long, Shen's father told everyone with a stern expression on his face, this brine thing cannot be publicized, otherwise it will cause death to the whole village, because salt cannot be sold privately, if it is discovered by the government, the light one will be distributed to the frontier, and the heavy one will be beheaded for public display.

At that time, Shen Lan was taken aback, fortunately she had not started to implement the plan of boiling salt and selling salt, otherwise she was afraid that she would incur a catastrophe for herself, she was a little glad when she thought about it, thanks to her urgent thought of a way to turn well water into seawater, otherwise how would she know these things.

Shen's mother saw Shen Lan's slightly pale face, and thought that she had been standing for a long time and her body couldn't bear the load, so she hurriedly persuaded her to go into the house to rest, after all, her body had not healed, and she still needed to recuperate.

Shen Lan was indeed a little tired, so she returned to the room without refusing, changed her clothes and shoes, Shen Lan lay down in the quilt, and fell asleep after a while, until about the afternoon Shen Shi woke up leisurely, at this time the matter of boiling salt has come to an end, after all, Shen Lan put limited seawater, although Linchun Village is not big, there are more than ten households, but they can't stand every family to pick up water to boil salt, so it didn't take long for the sea water to be picked up, and then the water that came out of the well was naturally fresh water, where there was a trace of saltiness.

When Shen Lan got up, when she left the house, she saw the Shen family sisters and brothers sitting quietly in front of the house weaving bamboo utensils, but the Shen family and his wife were not among them, Shen Lan stood at the door and yawned, looking like she had just woken up.

"Ah, what about Daddy and Mommy? Are you salted ready? Shen Lan asked.

"Well, my father and mother went to the third grandfather's house, saying that there was something to discuss." Shen Mei replied while doing the work in her hands.

"Oh." Shen Lan nodded, and didn't ask, just reached out and touched her hungry stomach, this day she just drank some porridge in the morning, and now she is really a little hungry, but she understands the situation of the Shen family, so naturally she won't say anything like cooking, so she silently turned back and entered the house.

After returning to the house, Shen Lan went straight to the stove, then found an empty basket, took a flint and a firewood handle, and took an earthen pot and chopsticks to boil water, and then flashed into the space.

In fact, Shen Lan didn't want to eat alone, but the things in the space couldn't be taken out lightly, so she could only eat by herself, after all, she was not in good health now, and she was pregnant with a child, so she really couldn't stand the hunger, so she wanted to open a small stove.

Although she hadn't had time to explore the island, it didn't prevent Shen Lan from going to the beach to pick up some shells and conch shells to satisfy her hunger, so with her things, Shen Lan found a sheltered place, put down the firewood and grass, earthen pot and flint, and walked towards the beach with the basket herself.

The sea she went to was not a beach, but a place with a lot of reefs, because there were reefs, so there were a lot of creatures hidden under the reefs, such as shells and conchs, and even small abalone and some kelp, seaweed and other things.

So Shen Lan carried the basket, stepped on the reef exposed to the sea, and then searched for creatures that were easier to catch, and after a while, she caught a small half basket of seafood, mostly shellfish and seaweed, looking at these things, Shen Lan felt that it was enough for herself to have a good meal, so she carried the basket and walked back.

After lighting a fire, Shen Lan placed the earthen pot in the fire, poured some of the washed shells and seaweed into it, and roasted the others on the fire, and after a while, she could smell the unique umami of seafood, and Shen Lan couldn't help but take the chopsticks to pick the shells to eat.

Because the seafood is very fresh, even if it is just boiled in water, it is very delicious, so Shen Lan soon couldn't stop chopsticks, these seafood are much more delicious than what she used to eat, one is because it is fresh, and the other is because this sea area has not been polluted, everything is original.

After eating the boiled seafood, Shen Lan also picked out the grilled conch and shells to eat, but unfortunately there was no garlic and seafood soy sauce, otherwise the grilled seafood would taste even more delicious.

Since Shen Lan came to this world, it was the first time she had eaten so full, she could barely move, it turned out that it was a kind of happiness to be able to eat until she couldn't move, in the past, Shen Lan always didn't dare to eat too much in order to maintain her figure, and she was picky about food, but since she came here, she hadn't eaten a full meal, and the feeling of being hungry and having to endure it was too uncomfortable, and she couldn't complain.

So for the first time to eat so unscrupulously, she really felt very happy and happy, how good it would be if she could live like this forever, although she thought so, but Shen Lan still didn't dare to stay, after all, it was too lonely to stay on a desert island alone, and she was still a pregnant woman alone, and she had no ability to fight for a paradise on this island, so when she had the opportunity in the future, she would definitely take good care of this desert island.

After lying down and eating, Shen Lan walked on the beach again, after all, she didn't want to look very strong after going back, which would easily arouse the suspicion of others.

When she felt that she was no longer so supportive, she began to pack up the things she brought in, but the first time she came in to open a small stove, she made a lot of things, but she couldn't bear to throw them away, but at this time, she couldn't eat it anymore, and she suddenly felt embarrassed.

But after a while, she didn't bother with it, but removed the shells of the seafood, and then spread the meat in the basket, then packed up the other things out of the space, and then after putting the things away, she began to observe the light beads in her hand, and when the halo was almost dim, she immediately flashed into the space and came out with the basket.

The seafood in the basket has been somewhat dry, but it is not completely dry, so Shen Lan carried the basket and continued to wait, and when the light beads changed from no light to light, Shen Lan went in again, and after repeating it many times, the seafood in Shen Lan's basket had been completely dried, and the seafood that was originally quite a lot was now only dried for less than half a catty, looking at these dried seafood, Shen Lan suddenly had an idea.

Dried seafood can be used for seasoning, in this era there is no monosodium glutamate, the taste of food is still very scarce, if she grinds these seafood into powder, and then sells it as a condiment, can she also make money?

Since she came to this world, Shen Lan has become a proletarian, she has always been penniless, she can't go on like this, not to mention anything else, she is now pregnant with a child, and there will be more places to use money in the future, so she can't reach out and ask Shen's father to take it, after all, she is a married daughter, and it is a little too much to say if she reaches out to her mother's family, as for the Song family, it is even more impossible, the Song family can give her a full meal, and it is impossible for the cost of giving birth to a child in the future to come from the hands of the Song family.

You can't let her give birth to the child by herself like in the TV series she watched when she was a child, and then cut the umbilical cord and bathe the child by herself, she feels no courage when she thinks about it.

So she still had to plan ahead, thinking about it, Shen Lan turned around and entered the space again, she found a flat reef, put it in the sun to dry, and then took a palm-sized pebble and began to grind the dried seafood.

At this time, Shen Lan really missed the grinder at home, as long as she pressed the switch, everything would turn powder in a few minutes, but now she had to slowly beat and grind it with her hands, which was really hard.

Shen Lan spent a lot of time in the whole process, and finally turned those dried seafood into seafood powder, Shen Lan found a small jar that was thrown behind the water tank and was covered with dust, cleaned it with seawater, and then put it in the sun, and then put the seafood powder in, and then it really came out of the space.

Although it seemed that Shen Lan had been tossing for a long time, it was actually only a matter of a few minutes, so when Shen Lan hid the jar and came out again, the Shen family sisters and brothers didn't notice anything unusual, they just thought that Shen Lan had gone into the house to drink water or do something else.

And Shen Lan was also very obedient, but instead brought out a teapot, naturally the water in the teapot was still hot, and she also boiled it in the space, and at this time she took it out to win the trust of the Shen family sisters and brothers.

Continue to ask for tickets, ask for recommendations and collections, and thank you for the reward of Biluo Qingwu's classmates, it is just one word short of Xiao Wu, what a fate.
