Chapter 021: Beauty Bathing
If the golden year does not come again, it will be difficult to regain the morning in one day. Be encouraged in time, and the years will not treat others. - Tao Yuanming
"Salt gone?"
Li Baoqiang and Professor Zhao couldn't help but gasp when they heard the news.
Salt is so great for humans. Before the end of the world, whoever has no salt at home, they go to the supermarket to buy a bag, as if the supermarket produces salt, and the fool only keeps salt at home, and he doesn't think about how salt is produced, and even people are still worried about eating a little less salt, because high salt intake will also lead to hypertension cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
"Sichuan is a salt producer. However, it seems that salt is not produced here in Hope Village. Professor Zhao was thinking about it while popularizing science to Li Baoqiang and Zhang Juncai. He's a professor of geology, and he's very authoritative on this subject.
The word "salt" originally meant "to boil and marinate in a vessel". It is recorded in the "Shuowen": Those who are born are called halogen, and those who are boiled are called salt. Legend has it that during the Yellow Emperor, there was a prince named Shusha, who boiled and marinated in seawater and fried it into salt, and the colors were green, yellow, white, black, and purple. It is now inferred that the Chinese began to boil salt around the time between the Shennong clan (Emperor Yan) and the Yellow Emperor. In ancient China, salt was boiled with seawater. In the 50s of the 20th century, there were cultural relics unearthed in Fujian, including salt decoction utensils, which proved that the ancients had learned to decoct sea salt in the Yangshao period (5000 BC ~ 3000 BC).
According to the above information and physical evidence, in China, the origin of salt occurred in the Yanhuang era 5,000 years ago, and the inventor Shu Shashi was the originator of seawater salt decoction with fire, and later generations respected it as "salt sect". Before the Song Dynasty, in the southeast ten miles of Anyi County, Jiezhou, Hedong, a temple was built specifically for worshipping the "Salt Sect". During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the salt transport made Qiao Songnian build the "Salt Sect Temple" in Taizhou, the temple is enshrined in the main seat is the Shusha clan who boils the sea for salt, the glue of the brine salt is transported on the occasion of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the Guan Zhong who implements the "salt administration official camp" in the Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period is placed in the position of accompanying the sacrifice.
China is also the place where the salt well was invented. "King of Shu Benji": "Emperor Xuandi Festival (69 BC to 66 BC) began to wear dozens of salt wells. "Since the Han Dynasty, salt ponds have also been used to extract salt. Wang Hui (yƬ) "Luo Du Fu": "There is a salt pond in the east, the jade is clean and fresh, it is not boiled, and it is natural." Liu Zhen's "Lu Du Fu": "There are also salt ponds, frying the sun, scorching the spring, scorching the foam, sparse the salt from Yin, do not damage it, and do not take it diligently." ā
In the early stage of salt production, it is directly boiled in an iron pot on the stove frame. This primitive boiling of salt is time-consuming, fuel-intensive, yields less, and is expensive. In ancient times, there were many kinds of salt, and there were many kinds of salt in terms of color: snow, peach blossom, blue, purple, white and so on. From the point of origin: sea salt is made by sea brine decoction, well salt is made by well brine decoction, alkali salt is scraped and refined by alkaline soil, pool salt is dried from pool brine, and cliff salt is born between earth and cliffs. Sea salt, well salt, and alkali salt come from people, and pool salt and cliff salt come from heaven. "History of the Ming Dynasty" recorded: "The salt of Jiezhou is knotted, the salt of Ningxia is scraped to get it, the salt of Huai and Zhejiang is boiled, the salt of Sichuan and Yunnan is drawn to the well, the salt of Fujian and Guangdong is brine, the salt of Huainan is fried, the salt of Huaibei is dried, and the salt of Shandong is fried and dried.
Li Baoqiang and Zhang Juncai were confused by Professor Zhao's explanation of the scriptures quoted from the classics. Professor Zhao saw that the two of them looked dazed, and went back to the classroom to sleep boringly.
"Let's season with other spices first, there seems to be wild peppercorns on the mountain." Li Baoqiang suggested. The salt has run out, and there is no salt production in the local area, so it seems that the next step is to expand the search, and some may be found in other towns, Li Baoqiang secretly pondered.
"Lao Zhang, I'm itching all over, where is there a place to take a bath?" Li Baoqiang actually wanted to go to Zhang Juncai's security room to take a shower, and deliberately tactful. This month, I slept in the open air, but now that I am stable, I realize that my body is rancid. Everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention a young man in his prime.
"Yes, yes, it's still a hot spring, but it's just ......" Zhang Juncai suddenly thought of something, "Oh, look at my brain, it's okay with you!"
Li Baoqiang was confused by Zhang Juncai's upside-down words. It turns out that there is really a hot spring in a valley near Hope Village, the water temperature is more than forty or fifty degrees, because it is located in a remote area, the road is not easy to walk, and it has been desolate for many years, and the location is known to some old people in the village.
Zhang Juncai went there once three or four years ago, but found that it was occupied by a group of macaques, and he never went there again for fear of being scratched by monkeys. Zhang Juncai should not have such a thing, where can you not take a bath in modern society. Now that Li Baoqiang mentioned the matter of bathing, Zhang Juncai suddenly thought of this hot spring, with Li Baoqiang's skills, even if Sun Wukong came, he must have been trampled underfoot.
The road is far away and remote, and the macaques occupy it, which is not a problem for Li Baoqiang. asked about the direction and location, said to go, Li Baoqiang went back to the house to clean up, and was ready to go. The female soldiers have followed, and now their existence is a beautiful mistake for Li Baoqiang, probably when Li Baoqiang goes to the toilet, the female soldiers will wait next to him, because Li Baoqiang has become their spiritual pillar, and they don't want to leave half a step.
Anyway, it's time for the female soldiers to take a shower. The fat men were already asleep, Li Baoqiang didn't alarm others anymore, and set off with weapons and half-big wolf dog Candy. As soon as Li Baoqiang walked out of the school gate, a figure suddenly crashed into his arms. Li Baoqiang quickly stepped back, pushed his hands outward, his hand was soft, and he pinched it, it turned out to be a woman's chest, and a faint fragrance came to his nose, it was the girl Zhao Xiaoxiao.
Zhao Xiaoxiao has a habit of taking a walk after eating at night, and tonight the girl ate a whole bowl of meat that she had never refused, and held on, so she decided to take advantage of the moonlight to go out for a walk and dispel the girl's thoughts. When it got dark, Zhao Xiaoxiao turned around and walked back to school, and almost collided with someone as soon as he entered the door, but the person actually pressed his chest with both hands and pinched it.
Zhao Xiaoxiao's face is full of shame, don't look at Zhao Xiaoxiao's polite and delicate appearance, in fact, she is a Lori on the outside, and a wild sister on the inside, but as long as she doesn't touch her bottom line, she generally won't break out, and now she is about to break out, "Dare to eat my mother's tofu, I want you to look good!" "I just wanted to scold, and I just wanted to raise my foot and kick the other party's life.
Suddenly seeing that it was Li Baoqiang and the female soldiers behind him, Zhao Xiaoxiao's anger disappeared all of a sudden, and he just asked angrily: "Where are you going so late?" I'm going too. Zhao Xiaoxiao had a hint of grief in her eyes. Yes, on different occasions, Zhao Xiaoxiao has hinted that he wants to follow Li Baoqiang's side, including the last time he went to find food and training in the mountains, the girl's mind has been undoubtedly revealed, but unfortunately Li Baoqiang saw the girl's thin body and never agreed.
"I'm going to wash...... Eh, I'm going for a walk, I've eaten too much tonight......" Li Baoqiang rubbed his nose embarrassedly, he was a little reckless just now, he already knew that it was a woman's chest, and he pinched it in a ghostly way. Li Baoqiang was embarrassed to say that he went to the hot springs. "That's just right, let's go together." Zhao Xiaoxiao walked beside Li Baoqiang without doubt. "Well, uh, you can bring some change of clothes." Li Baoqiang said vaguely.
"A change of clothes?" Zhao Xiaoxiao looked at Li Baoqiang and the female soldiers suspiciously. She suddenly understood, turned to leave, and ran back out of breath for a while, carrying her backpack, "Let's go!" The stars are sparse and the moon is bright, Li Baoqiang didn't notice that Zhao Xiaoxiao's face was feverish at this time, and a trace of ruddy reflected on his cheeks.
The first date turned out to be a shower together. Zhao Xiaoxiao regarded going out together this time as a date, and her heart was churning, and she had an inexplicable expectation. In fact, Li Baoqiang is also quite embarrassed, although he likes Zhao Xiaoxiao's beautiful appearance and straightforward personality in his heart, but this first brother of love is too immature, coupled with the recklessness just now, he is very embarrassed, and he just bored his head along the way.
"Silly melon! Big fool! I like you so much, you'll die if you like me. Zhao Xiaoxiao complained about Li Baoqiang in her heart, do you want a girl to speak first? In addition to finding the way, Li Baoqiang was also thinking about how to open his mouth, so in the embarrassment of the way, Li Baoqiang led everyone to finally find the legendary hot spring, and a faint smell of sulfur filled the air.
"Wow, there's someone in the hot springs." Zhao Xiaoxiao was surprised. Li Baoqiang has already seen that it is actually a group of macaques. A waning moon hangs high in the starry sky, the surrounding rocks are covered with snow, and a group of macaques in the hot springs, steaming hot overhead, with their eyes closed, enjoying the gifts of nature, everything is so quiet and peaceful.
With a long roar, Candy rushed over, and the macaques panicked and ran up the rocks and fled in all directions. From that howl, they heard the unique pride of the noble leaders of the wolf clan, and since then this has become Li Baoqiang's territory, and the macaques no longer dare to harass them, everything is as simple as that, because the law of the jungle is that the strong is king. If Zhang Jun knew about it, he would definitely be shocked.
Li Baoqiang and the women came to the hot spring and looked at it. I saw that under the moonlight, several Tan spring water is scattered, distributed in the valley, the hot spring water surface is rippling, like broken silver, spread out, the mist is steaming, floating in the spring water sky, reflecting the distant mountains and forests, it is really a wonderful place, and the fairyland Yao Pond is nothing more than that.
Li Baoqiang first walked around the hot springs, and found that there was no other danger, so he tried the water temperature, about forty or fifty degrees, a little higher than the body temperature, and the temperature was very suitable. took a sip of spring water and tasted it, with a faint sulfur smell, Li Baoqiang was relieved and motioned to the women to wash it first. Zhao Xiaoxiao twisted for a long time, and said fiercely to Li Baoqiang: "Go to stand guard quickly, don't look back, if you turn back, you will look good!" His eyes stared fiercely at Li Baoqiang's lower body.
Li Baoqiang had a chill, remembering that when he collided with Zhao Xiaoxiao, the girl raised her foot and wanted to kick her own life, she was really a ruthless character. Li Baoqiang rubbed his nose awkwardly, took Candy, walked behind a rock, put down his backpack, and leaned lightly on the rock, Candy pricked up his ears vigilantly on the side, listening to the movement in the valley. Li Baoqiang's body relaxed, but his head was thinking wildly.
Can you not think about it? Li Baoqiang, as a hot-blooded young man who has maintained his virgin body for twenty-four years, is surrounded by the sound of all the women undressing, then the sound of walking into the spring, and finally the sound of girls giggling and playing, even the gods will be half-hearted. Even if Li Baoqiang covered his ears, he couldn't bear the head that could be associated.
