After listening to Yang Hao's explanation, everyone was still shocked.

"Chief, is this really made out of the mud and sand?" Qu was a little skeptical about this.

Yang Hao said: "This is natural, is it possible that I will have some immortal means, conjure this thing out of thin air, if I have that kind of ability, why would my clan be so down." ”

"In this case, then our tribe will not have endless salt in the future." Shuo Xiang said excitedly.

Yang Hao nodded and said: "Don't be too happy, the salt obtained by this method is very difficult, how much salt can be obtained, don't have too much hope." ”

"Then how much salt do we need?" Yin asked.

"The weight of three large clay jars should be about the same."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of exclamations.

"Chief, you're right, three large clay jars, so many, we've been eating dogs for several winters."

Shaoyan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in surprise.

Yang Hao said: "These may not be enough, for the time being, let's get so much out first, and then look at the situation." ”

"So much salt, can we finish it?"

Everyone was puzzled by this.

Regarding this doubt, Yang Hao explained: "Summer is about to pass, if we don't reserve food, we will have a hard time this winter, our rice is not enough for us to survive a winter, in order not to let us starve, we can only reserve a lot of meat." ”

"But what does meat have to do with salt?"

Yang Hao smiled and said: "Naturally, it has a relationship, if under normal circumstances, the meat is easy to rot and cannot be eaten, but if it is treated with a large amount of salt, it can be preserved for a longer time, as long as enough meat is collected before winter, we can worry about it in winter." ”

"Chief... This... What you say is true? ”

Yin said excitedly.

"If that's the case, then we don't have as much meat as we want, and that's great."

Everyone fantasizes about a better life in the future.

But Yang Hao ruthlessly poured a basin of cold water to pull them back to reality from their unrealistic fantasies.

"How can there be such a good thing, although salt can be stored for a long time, it does not mean that the meat will never rot, it is only a short-term storage means."

Hearing this, everyone's excitement suddenly decreased a lot.

Yin thought for a while and said, "Chief, when are we going to get salt over there." ”

Yang Hao looked at the canal and asked, "What's the situation over there, can there be a tribe?" ”

Qu shook his head, "It's very desolate over there, except for some more ferocious beasts, I haven't seen anyone. ”

Yang Hao pondered for a moment, thinking in his heart whether to transport the sediment to be processed, or to process it directly over there, and then transport it back.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both ways, and it is very troublesome to transport raw materials to the current capacity, but there is no need to consider the safety of refining in the tribe.

If it is processed locally on the riverbed, although the transportation cost is greatly reduced, it is easy to encounter danger if there are people moving there for a long time.

This danger may come from other tribes, or it may be from the beasts roaming around, and if you want to improve your self-protection ability, you need to increase the number of people.

Yang Hao thought about it for a long time, and decided to use the second plan.

The main reason is that he can't afford to wait, it takes a lot of time to ship the raw materials back for processing, and they don't have that much time to waste.

Collecting salt is accompanied by fishing, and as soon as the salt is brought back, it is salted immediately.

In addition to pickling, smoking is also a good method, and Yang Hao will naturally not leave this way behind.

quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and said: "I will start this matter tomorrow, Qu, Liyang, you two will prepare tomorrow, and I will bring fifty prisoners of war with you." ”

"Chief, you want to go too?"

Yin hurriedly asked.

Yang Hao nodded and said: "Well, the method of making salt can only be known to a few people, this is the secret of our tribe, in order to save time, I decided to make salt over there, in addition to the soldiers, the fifty prisoners of war I brought, to write down the names, in the future their main task is to make salt, without my order, no one is allowed to use them without authorization, I will probably stay there for four or five days, these days the tribe is temporarily in charge of you." ”

Yin saw that Yang Hao had made full arrangements, so he didn't say anything.

Next, after Yang Hao explained some details, the meeting ended with everyone's yawns.

The next day, before leaving, Yang Hao once again told the people left behind to guard the tribe, and then drove the ox cart out of the tribe.

Yantian is not far from here, it took only two days to get here, and this is because the speed of the large-scale march is slowing down, and if you travel lightly, you can reach it in almost a day.

It would be more accurate to say that this dry river is a river than a small lake.

In the large open space, there are only a few wild grasses growing sporadically, and it is not an exaggeration to describe that there is no grass growing at all.

Compared to the lush greenery around it, this clearing area is very abrupt and gives people a very incongruous feeling.

"Chief, this is it, I used to take the dirt over there."

Qu pointed in the direction not far away.

Yang Hao nodded, "Liyang, your department is responsible for checking the surroundings, canal, you take these prisoners of war to build a residence, and we will settle down first." ”

Everyone suddenly got busy, moving things and setting up tents.

After a lot of hectic work, a small camp was set up in the woods next to the riverbed in just over an hour.

Yang Hao did not rush to boil salt, for the sake of safety, he sent an army to carefully search the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no danger, he rested for one night before starting to collect sediment.

In order to improve efficiency, this time, Yang Hao brought the largest containers in the tribe, even so, it is ideal to have five or six catties of salt in a day.

For Yang Hao at this time, time is food, and he doesn't dare to waste it at all.

Several cauldrons were erected, and the prisoners of war were busy in the river like ants.

Qu and Liyang watched baskets of soil poured into the pot, and they were very curious.

Yang Hao didn't have time to explain anything to these two people, so he selected ten people from these prisoners of war and personally demonstrated to them how to make experiments.

For these ten people, being personally guided by Yang Hao was simply flattered, and their spirits were highly concentrated, and they didn't dare to miss a single step.

This is a rare opportunity, and if you grasp it, you may be able to change your own destiny.

From dissolving, filtering, boiling, every step, Yang Hao explained very carefully, telling them what the reason for doing this is.

These people listened very carefully, and after the initial panic, they were already able to have the courage to ask Yang Hao some questions of their own.

For these questions, Yang Hao naturally answered them one by one.

However, the sun was not very good today, and the clouds in the sky blocked the light, which made the drying very slow, and it was not until noon the next day that the first batch of salt particles was completed.

The three major pots, a total of more than 100 catties of soil, and the final finished salt product are only a small jar, Yang Hao estimates that these may not even be seven catties, which is less than the output he estimated.

The low yield made Yang Hao a little helpless, and at that time, it was a miracle for others who witnessed the process, pure salt was born in their hands, and at this moment, both soldiers and prisoners of war cheered, and some knelt on the ground, bowing to the sky with great devotion.
