Chapter 9: The Taste of Sea Salt
Tian Xiaoqian saw that Qin Hao not only didn't appreciate it, but shook his head there, and he didn't get angry, seeing that he was leaving, a somersault landed in front of him, and said slightly angrily: "Qin Hao, what are you doing, you want to leave if you don't make it clear?" ”
"If I don't leave, will you still invite me to lunch?" Qin Hao tilted his head slightly, pretending to be a little stupid, "I heard that Wanghailou tastes good, why don't we go there and eat?" ”
"Would you like to have lunch, do you think you are beautiful? You are full of anger. Tian Xiaoqian replied angrily, "Let me ask you, why do you want to be so jealous of that slave surnamed Lai, are you so afraid of him in your heart?"www.biquge.info ”
"I'm afraid of him or not, it doesn't seem to be your business, don't you boast of your strong martial arts? Isn't it self-comparing Mulan? Then kill him in the past, I believe that with your martial arts, you will be able to do it. Qin Hao shrugged his shoulders with a hint of mockery on his face.
"Kill him? It's easy to say, killing people to pay for their lives, paying debts for money, you really treat me stupidly, do I deserve to pay for my life for this kind of person? "There is a reason to kill someone, there is a reason not to kill someone, and Tian Xiaoqian's reason for not killing Lai Ba is very simple.
"Hmm!" Qin Hao nodded deliberately, "What you said seems to have some truth, since you don't dare to kill him, then arrest him to the government, like him to bully the market and disrupt the traders, you hand him over to the government to be successful." ”
"It's easy for me to arrest him, but you have to ask these petty traders and peddlers, do they dare to testify? If he cannot be convicted, or if the conviction is too light, it will not be the traders who will suffer when he comes out. ”
Tian Xiaoqian's expression looked very helpless, it was easy to deal with a gentleman, but she really couldn't deal with this kind of scoundrel, not to mention that behind this Lai Baye was Shamen Island, and most of the income he collected had to be handed over to Shamen Island in the end.
"Oh!" Qin Hao pretended to suddenly realize, "You can't kill him or arrest him, so why are you stopping me?" Miss Tian, they all say that good dogs don't get in the way, please get out of the way, right? ”
"You...... Just know to bully me! Tian Xiaoqian pursed her mouth, although she hated Qin Hao so much, she couldn't do anything about him, so she had to step aside angrily.
Qin Hao ignored her, but came to a little girl who set up a stall, took out the usual money from the chain, handed it over, and said, "Little sister, these things of yours can't be sold for a few dollars, take this money back to your mother and relatives to see a doctor." ”
"Thank you, Brother Hao." The little girl took the copper coin from Qin Hao's middle hand, and after saying thank you, she didn't even want the stall, turned around and ran into the pharmacy to grab the medicine.
Looking at Tian Xiaoqian, who was huffing and puffing, Qin Hao said with a smile: "Helping others is fun, people are happy, Miss Tian, everyone knows that your family is the richest man in Dengzhou, don't you blow your beard at me with a whip all day long, can't you help these people who can help when you are free?" ”
"Blowing beard and glaring, do I have a beard?" Tian Xiaoqian was obviously unconvinced by Qin Hao's admonition, and grabbed Bai Dao there, "Besides, my Tian Hengzhai has been here for thousands of years, and there are still few people to help?" ”
It is also said that no matter how strong a female man is, it is impossible for a female man to grow a beard, Qin Hao shook his head, ignored her, but packed up his chain and walked straight out of Penglai Pavilion.
Home can not be returned, at least in the past three days, when he went out this morning, Qin Wang very stubbornly warned him, either come back with fifteen yuan or don't come back.
If you don't earn the money you should earn, going home means compromise, Qin Hao is not a person who likes to compromise, he came to the vegetable market, bought some jars and jars, and then hired an ox cart to pull these things to the Chenghuang Temple on Tianheng Mountain.
It was a temple that could not be broken again, and it was full of cobwebs, and from time to time it emitted a foul-smelling musty smell, and mosquitoes and flies flew everywhere, making a buzzing sound of battle.
Put these altars and jars in place, pull a handful of weeds to make a simple broom, clean the inside and outside of the City God Temple, and then carry two broken barrels to the beach, and come back with two buckets of seawater.
Before returning to the City God Temple, he looked at Tian Xiaoqian leaning against the temple door with a soft whip from a distance, looking at the seawater in the barrel, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he sneered: "Qin Hao, isn't your brain sick?" Can you eat this seawater? ”
"Alas, I said Tian Xiaoqian, you are a big girl who is sticky all day long, do you think it's interesting?" Qin Hao looked at Tian Xiaoqian impatiently, and always felt that this little girl was a little unreasonable.
"Hey, hey......" Tian Xiaoqian suddenly sneered, "Do you have any intention of waiting for two days for you to know, and you must not beg me when the time comes." ”
"Please?" Qin Hao felt that this sentence was a bit clueless, he really couldn't understand where he begged her?
To say that this little girl is not useless, her kung fu is still commendable, but although Qin Hao doesn't want to continue studying, if he wants to choose between martial arts training and studying, he will still choose the latter.
Tian Xiaoqian didn't answer Qin Hao's question, she left the City God Temple with a smile, her smile was a little innocent, and innocence also contained a little insidious, which made Qin Hao's heart very unsteady.
Qin Hao didn't have time to pay attention to Tian Xiaoqian, using three stones as the fulcrum, and put the newly bought large clay pot on the stone to form a simple stove.
Then weigh the seawater and pour it into the clay pot, the City God Temple lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of firewood and other fire-making things, Qin Hao casually walked around the mountain, and he could bring back the big bundle of cracked branches.
Although lighting a fire or something like that can stump Qin Hao in his previous life, because the Qin Wang clan never let him into the kitchen at all, for Qin Hao in later generations, these are just some pediatrics.
Qin Hao, who was born in engineering, can even burn the boiler, not to mention this small stove, first put the branches in the stove, then knead the weeds, light it and put it under the branches.
The fire was very strong, and Qin Hao's face, which was already white and red, was even more red at the moment, and in a moment, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down from his forehead.
Qin Hao wiped his sweat while adding firewood, the heat absorption performance of the clay pot was not bad, and in about half an hour, the seawater was boiling happily in the tank.
The steaming steam kept dissipating around, and as the sea water gradually decreased, a layer of yellowish-white solids slowly condensed on the walls of the tank, which was salt.
Looking at these yellow-white things, Qin Hao's face gradually showed a satisfied smile, wiped the sweat stains on his forehead with his hand, and then handed the big branch to the stove.
The fire was stronger, and the seawater evaporated faster, until all the seawater in the tank was evaporated, and then all the salt in the tank was taken out, and he put his fingers in his mouth to put it in his mouth, and the salty taste contained a bitter taste.
Sea salt cannot be eaten directly, because it contains a large amount of magnesium chloride and calcium chloride, what Qin Hao has to do now is not only to remove these two things, but also to calculate the ratio, only in this way can the requirements of large-scale production be met.
Weigh the coarse salt taken out, put it in a small crockpot, then dilute it with water, then add a small amount of miscanthus nitrate, stir and mix, and gradually form some granular solids in the solution.
The newly purchased gauze is folded in a double layer, covered on a crockpot to make a filter bucket, and then the salt water is slowly poured into the gauze for the first filtration.
This is repeated until there is no more solid matter in the brine, and then an appropriate amount of caustic soda is added to it, and the effect of this step is naturally to remove those magnesium ions.
After repeated filtration, and then the salt water is evaporated, and the edible refined salt is obtained, and the weighed that 100 catties of seawater contains more than four catties of salt, which is slightly higher than he imagined.
In order to verify whether his data is correct, he tried and tested again and again until the sun went down and the sun set in the west, and then he gave up, packed the refined salt in a cloth bag and hid it in the City God Temple.
