Volume 1 Building the City Chapter 47 Pickling Bamboo Pottery

You have to eat the food one bite at a time, and you have to do things one by one. The production of salt and horses was carried out in an orderly manner, and all the existing animal skins of the tribe were thrown into the dug soaking pool.

The discovery of salt provides more mature material conditions for the nitrate of hides: the deodorization and deodorization of hides will be more perfect, and the softness of hides will be strengthened.

Wang Tian now has the data of three ores in his hands. Among them, the salt yield of single crystal rock sugar salt reaches an astonishing 97%, considering the volatile loss in the production process, it is certain that this is pure single crystal sodium chloride crystal. This one can be eaten directly without refining.

The second type of natural salt containing impurities, the proportion of finished salt has reached more than 60%, its salt rate is directly related to the content of rock sugar salt, if it is only a layer of skin on the surface, then his salt rate is almost no different from pure rock sugar salt. The ore was thrown directly into the nitrate pools where the hides were soaked.

The third type of soil rock salt ore gets two catties of pure salt from ten catties. This proportion is already quite high, and the salt yield of general rock salt is about 10%, which has mining value. (The nutritional content of rock salt is much higher than that of sea salt, even if it is not a luxury in later generations, it is also a high-end commodity)

This variety of salt ore is the main raw material for salt production, among the 1,000 catties of raw materials collected today. There are 200 catties of pure rock sugar salt, and 300 catties of the second type of salt containing magazines, which are calculated according to the salt production ratio of 60%. 180 catties of pure salt can be obtained, and 120 catties of pure salt can be boiled out of the remaining nearly 600 catties of third-class soil rock salt.

Based on this calculation, the total salt yield reaches an astonishing 50%. A total of nearly 500 catties of salt can be harvested. According to the calculation of the minimum daily intake of 6 grams of salt per person advocated by the United Nations in later generations, this 500 catties of salt is enough for one person to use for 40,000 days. In other words, there is enough salt for this life.

According to the life expectancy of primitive man, the current population of the tribe only needs to dig like this 70 times, which is enough for everyone to eat. Of course, this does not include the amount of food used to store it.

Wang Tian decided that rock sugar and salt should be directly used for the daily life of the tribe, and the other elements it contains have great benefits for the body of the tribe, and the minors and future children in the tribe should be able to grow taller and bigger, and the physical fitness and brain development can also be comprehensively improved. This will bring a qualitative leap in the quality of the tribe's personnel, Wang Tian thought excitedly.

The boiled salt can be directly used to process the salting of 400 catties of fish obtained today, without the need to use it after drying.

The amount of salt used for cured meat varies from place to place in China. For example, the famous Jinghua ham in Zhejiang, his salt meat ratio is 10% to 12%. It can be stored for 3~5 years at room temperature.

Tujia bacon in Guizhou and Hunan can be preserved for more than 10 years. In later generations, on the Internet, Wang Tian even often saw someone posting decades or hundreds of years of bacon saved by his grandfather or grandfather. The authenticity is unknown.

In Hunan, Wang Tian knows that some places are salted and bacon is made according to the ratio of one pound of meat and one pound of salt. Bacon cured in this proportion is generally smoked. There are also pickles that are 20:1 or 10:1.

In Sichuan and Guizhou, there is a kind of cured meat called sauce meat, which is only pickled with salt and star anise, cinnamon, pepper and other spices, and is not smoked or dried, just hung in a cool and ventilated place, which can be preserved for a year without deterioration.

Either way, cured bacon can be kept for more than a year without any problems at all. Wang Tian decided to use a 10:1 method for pickling, which would save salt and ensure that the food would not spoil. He loves good food though. But you don't have to taste the bacon and bacon of those decades.

So when the salt reached a certain amount, everyone divided the work again. Crushing ore, filtering salt solutions, curing fish, and weaving fishing nets are mainly carried out by adult women in the tribe. The fire, boiling salt, and kneading the straw rope are the responsibility of the older minors.

The production of the rejection of the horse was also carried out intensively under the leadership of the second brother of King Kong. Wang Tian hopes to complete the project before sunset today. This allows you to continue making salt at night on the observation deck.

With the use of salt, there are more and more requirements for the number of closed containers, and clay pots are required to store salt, cured bacon, and preserved fish.

Although the wild fruits collected by the tribe are now loaded in bamboo baskets and placed on wooden platforms to slow down the decay rate, a lot of them are still discarded every day.

If there are enough clay pots, then you can try to make fruit wine, which is also half a catty! This way, you don't have to worry about spoilage again.

Wang Tian called Shang Ling'er to carry a basket on each arm, and in each basket there were two cans of boiled water with table salt and walked towards the brick factory.

The current varieties of bamboo in the tribe, with the continuous efforts of Ling'er, have been very diverse. Wang Tian provided the design styles, and Ling'er was responsible for bringing them to life.

Baskets, bamboo lids, toothpicks, cutting boards, bamboo sieves, bamboo fences, baskets, bamboo steamers, brooms, bamboo baskets, bamboo buckets, bamboo rakes, bamboo brooms, bamboo hats, bamboo pipes, etc., which can be used or not needed now, have all been made.

Even in the Yunguichuan area in later generations, the kind of bamboo basket used to take the baby can sit and stand on it. If someone travels to the Qinglong tribe now, there will definitely be a sense of time and space separation!

Even the mats already have five, and the four giants of the tribe plus Wang Tian have one bed for one person. Of course, the real meaning of the mat is only the one of Wu, and the other four can only be regarded as bed boards made of bamboo: bamboo is cut and then made of mortise and tenon with a hand drill, and connected with bamboo nails.

Anyway, young people sleep on hard beds, which is good for the body. And Wu liked his picture very much. Lian Kua Xiaoling is smart and capable.

In the future, Wang Tian will continue to make bamboo stools, bamboo chairs, bamboo tables, bamboo coffee tables, bamboo reclining chairs and other bamboo furniture.

After the wall was built, Wang Tian could lie on the bamboo deck chair on the observation deck in the hot summer and taste the cool and white, and count the stars with his head up. Instead of staying in a hot and stuffy cave/sauna.

Wang Tian was very satisfied with Ling'er, who was thoughtful and had a pair of dexterous hands, and he decided to bring Kuroko on the road of pottery that could be independently developed as soon as possible, so that he could be much easier.

He went to the brick factory and gave the salty cool white to the chief, and told him to let everyone come and drink it. Salt is not only a flavor for the human body, but also maintains the balance of the body's osmotic pressure and other physiological needs.

In a word, eat more salt to have strength.
