Zhang Guoan listened to Xiao Shen Qianqian's words before he remembered this bamboo salt. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sources of salt in ancient China were mainly well salt and sea salt, due to the limitation of the process, the well salt had a halogen taste, and the sea salt had a fishy smell.

Rich and noble families are naturally reluctant to use it directly, so there is bamboo salt.

Because this bamboo salt not only has no peculiar smell, but also has the fragrance of bamboo, it has quickly spread among the middle and upper classes, and the scope of use has also expanded from the original "toothpaste" to bath salts and medicinal materials.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, the production process became more and more complex, and even extremely complex processes and very particular materials appeared, so that the bamboo salt made became a "luxury".

But in fact, its function has not been improved, and its effect and composition are not much different from ordinary table salt, except for the taste and smell, of course.

The salt is packed in carefully selected bamboo tubes, sealed with natural loess, and then baked with specific pine branches, and the final solid powder is bamboo salt.

This process is often repeated, and the "good" bamboo salt is carried out nine times.

Bamboo salt is a natural salt rich in minerals as a raw material, and it is put into a bamboo tube that has been grown for more than 3 years.

The fuel used for calcining the bamboo tube must be pine.

Some components in pine play a certain role in the calcination process of bamboo salt, affecting its quality, which cannot be replaced by other fuels.

The kiln used for calcination must also be made of loess.

Only in kilns made of loess using pine wood as fuel, calcined bamboo salt can take on a purple color.

After about 10 hours, you can get the first calcined bamboo salt. When the bamboo is burned, only salt remains. After calcining, the water of the bamboo has penetrated into the salt. At this time, the bamboo salt became in the shape of a salt stick.

Then the bamboo salt that has been calcined for the first time is crushed and then put into the bamboo to burn.

This process is repeated eight times, and on the ninth roast, the pine resin is sprinkled into the fire to adjust the temperature to the highest limit.

You can get bamboo salt with a purple glow. It is also called purple bamboo salt.

This kind of refining process is quite Chinese Taoist alchemy, selected materials, long-term refining, so in that world, some merchants often claim to concentrate "the essence of nature" and "dozens of trace elements" in the propaganda of bamboo salt. It has the effects of "antioxidant", "free radical scavenging", "anti-inflammatory", "sterilization", "detoxification" and "weight loss", which are all advertisements that fool people.

In fact, according to chemical theory, under the reaction conditions of baking, the types of minerals will not change, and even if they are combined in different forms after re-curing, they will be re-dissociated into individual ions in the human body, which is no different from a mixture that has not been baked at high temperature.

But those rich and wealthy people believe this, so Zhang Guoan immediately thought of this project.

He quickly decided on the implementation plan in his mind.

Bamboo salt sells for ten times the price of sea salt. Refined salt was sold five times as much, so that in the salt market of the Great Song Dynasty, he could meet the needs of all classes.

In other words, the wealthy class of the Great Song Dynasty will take the initiative to feed a lot of laborers for Liuqiu Island, and Zhang Guoan is very interested in the rich people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Guoan stepped forward and helped them quickly install the chicken cage, and Shen Qianqian learned to be quiet again. Piece by piece, the cage is fitted with a base plate made of bamboo.

This can be replaced, and the chicken manure can be removed at that time.

Quietly said: "Guoan." Are you going to make hydrochloric acid alone tomorrow? I'll be with you-----"

"No, it's safe."

Quiet said: "It's scary to think about------"

"Believe me, tomorrow will definitely be fine, I will protect myself."

After quietly watching Shen Qianqian finish his work, he jumped out of the chicken room and went to play by himself. Her eyes turned a little red and she said, "I know you're staying in this space because of me------"

Zhang Guoan stared at her eyes and said, "Yes, it's not, in short, which space are you in." I was right where I was. Besides, I've wanted to be an island owner for a long time------"

Quiet immediately smiled, Zhang Guoan did say that he wanted to be the owner of Peach Blossom Island before, at that time, it was a long time ago.

Zhang Guoan no longer ignored her worries, but looked at the eggs in the hatching bamboo box with concern, and looked at the temperature on the thermometer.

This time, he bought 500 eggs at once, so that he could quickly catch up with the chicken business.

He had no other way to disinfect it but to use wood vinegar.

This wood vinegar can not only sterilize and kill insects, but also can be used as a feed additive.

The wood vinegar solution is absorbed with charcoal powder and added to the feed, which can increase the reproduction of lactic acid bacteria, reduce the abnormal fermentation of animal viscera, especially in the intestines, strengthen gastrointestinal function, improve meat quality, improve the egg production and egg quality of laying hens, and prolong the storage time.

The addition of wood vinegar to the feed can also prevent the feed from mildew and reduce the odor of animal excrement, because wood vinegar is dispersed in animal feces and is also a good deodorant.

Cured and bacon from Ruguki Island are definitely more shelf-stable than those from other places, because they are soaked in this beforehand before they are processed.

Quietly led a group of women, so to speak, to solve the vegetable supply of this place.

At dusk, they walked hand in hand in the vegetable fields of more than 1,000 acres.

They saw many women carrying wooden buckets and watering them with coconut scoops, which was a picture of labor in the sunset.

Zhang Guoan sighed and said, "Let you women suffer too------ get through this beginning, everything will be fine."

Quiet and smiled: "Women are the same as some men, they are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, they are afraid of hopelessness. ”

Zhang Guoan nodded in approval.

This time they came back, and they summoned all the people who had the deeds of sale together, and burned them in public!

A group of people were dumbfounded.

Zhang Guoan said flatly: "The people of the Great Song Dynasty are free, how can they be used for trading?" You were just in trouble, and you couldn't do anything about it for a while. From now on, you are free men------ but you have to pay off the money from your wages until it is deducted.

You guys do a good job here first, if you go out in the future and you can't solve the difficulties, then it's my incompetence------"

After hearing this, a group of people were really surprised and delighted, there is such a thing in the world!

One person took the lead and knelt, and everyone knelt down, and they vowed to follow the Lord's family for the rest of their lives!

Zhang Guoan and Jing Jing turned around and drifted away, doing something that people are thankful for, which feels really good.

To be honest, they are not quite receptive to human trafficking, especially to the Great Song people.

As for the blatant purchase of Korean and Japanese women, it is really helpless, the ratio of men and women here is seriously imbalanced, or rather, they are not able to take care of other ethnic groups. (To be continued.) )
