180 plucking a Maori world (the fourth watch, happy Lantern Festival)

I really can't see that the guy's skills are so good, he stretched out his right hand like lightning and fished the ball back in the air, and wrapped the ball layer by layer with cloth like life, and glanced at Cheng Huailiang very resentfully.

Cheng Yanjin is very unaccustomed to Cheng Huailiang's loser approach, you must know that although this salt is not very good, but it can be eaten, it is better than nothing, and walked directly to Cheng Huailiang's side and slapped it with one hand, slapped Cheng Huailiang's ass hard, and roared loudly: "Don't you know that the salt is his life?" ”

Anyway, he had to fight again, Cheng Huailiang dodged vigilantly, and kept apologizing to the guy in his mouth, saying that he didn't know the importance of this salt ball to him, salt was too common in later generations, and he bought a pack for one dollar, enough for you to eat for a month, I didn't expect that salt was so precious in ancient times, and the quality was so poor.

Seeing that Cheng Yanjin was going to beat him unrelentingly, he hurriedly said loudly: "Daddy, I know how to make salt, and it's all refined salt, which will not be worse than those refined salts on the market." ”

Cheng Yanjin stopped and asked suspiciously, "When did you go to steal the teacher?" ”

At present, the practice of making refined salt is only in the hands of the officials, and the people are not allowed to make their own salt, which is too profitable, and the speed of production is very slow. So only the aristocracy and the like eat, the average people eat coarse salt, the poor people eat the thing in the hands of the man, and they don't dare to add it to every meal, that thing is a rare product for them, you must know that because there is no salt The strength of the soldiers is always not enough, and the transportation of salt is very troublesome, so it has led to the situation that Longyou has not been able to open the situation, and the road is very bad.

Without salt, man has no strength, and man is soft. What else to fight?

"I learned it myself from books, and it was much faster than the official salt I make now, and I didn't steal it from them." Seeing the impending outbreak, Dad hurriedly explained, otherwise he would have to be beaten again if he misunderstood, because Li Er would be killed by stealing the teacher to learn salt.

Hey, it's better to be a prairie. No one cares about me, no one dares to be ready to spank their ass all the time.

"Really?"

"Really, it's more real than real gold, I just can't see that the brothers who are born and die can't even eat a mouthful of salt, so I told you, otherwise I wouldn't bother to care about them." Cheng Huailiang said proudly.

Cheng Yanjin strode forward, took Cheng Huailiang's collar and dragged it outside, make salt with me now, and make it a moment earlier. And everyone will suffer a little less.

"Where is the salt made?"

"Just find a place with a salt mine."

"That thing is going to die if you eat it?"

Cheng Huailiang rolled his eyes directly, too lazy to pay attention to Cheng biting gold, it's terrible to be uneducated, there are so many minerals and heavy metals in it, eating it like this will definitely kill people.

Feeling despised, Cheng Biting Jin beat Cheng Huailiang again, Cheng Huailiang suddenly became honest, although he has practiced very well now. But it still hurts Daddy to beat people, and he is looking for your weak place to mess with you.

Cheng Yanjin pulled Cheng Huailiang in front. Later, Niu Jinda ordered the people to prepare hammers, shovels, iron pots, sacks, wooden barrels, and charcoal. There is also the stone mill of the stone, a group of dozens of people walked towards the nearby river, these dozens of people are people that Cheng Yanjin trusts very much, don't worry about the leakage of the salt making method, Cheng Huailiang doesn't care about leakage at all. But Cheng Yanjin was very worried, so he looked for someone he could trust.

A few kilometers away will soon arrive, Cheng Huailiang asked everyone to dig a large piece of ore over, let them watch it well, and teach them that it is easy to teach themselves, I don't want to stay here all the time to make salt, it's not boring to death.

All the people gathered in a circle, surrounded Cheng Huailiang in a circle, and watched how he made salt, and Cheng Chumo was also interested in watching it.

Cheng Huailiang smashed the salt ore into small particles with a hammer, and then asked Cheng Chumo to come over to help grind the stone mill, he threw the small particles of salt ore into the stone mill, with the rotation of the stone mill, the stone powder slowly overflowed from the surrounding of the stone mill, when dozens of catties of rocks were ground off, Cheng Huailiang found a few wooden barrels, put the stone powder into it, which was filled with water, so that the salt could be integrated into the water as much as possible, and at the same time took a wooden stick and kept stirring in several wooden barrels.

After estimating that they were basically dissolved, they covered several clean wooden barrels with three or four layers of linen, Cheng Huailiang and Cheng Chumo slowly poured the solution in this poke into the wooden barrel covered with sacks, and after a while, there was a thick layer of black slag on top of the sacks, and the color of the solution in the wooden barrel also changed from black at the beginning to brown, and the color became lighter.

In the same way, Cheng Huailiang operated a few more times, and the color of the solution completely faded, and finally turned into a light red solution, it seems that the impurities should have been cleaned up, and now it needs to be detoxified.

Cheng Huailiang smashed the charcoal he brought, and then wrapped the charcoal tightly with a burlap and put it into a prepared large funnel, Cheng Huailiang lifted the wooden barrel and slowly poured the solution in the barrel into the funnel, and the cyan liquid slowly flowed out under the funnel, Cheng Huailiang took a handful and tasted it, there was no bitterness, it should be edible, but although some of the salt was lost, it must be edible when cooked.

Seeing Cheng Huailiang's movements, Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda also took a handful and tasted it, feeling no bitterness at all, and his eyes were full of surprise.

Cheng Huailiang didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he ordered someone to set up a cauldron, light a fire and start boiling salt.

The raging fire ignited, and Cheng Huailiang poured all the solutions in several wooden barrels into the cauldron and began to boil.

In less than half an hour, the water in the pot basically evaporated, and a thick layer of cyan salt was spread at the bottom of the pot.

Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda looked at the scene in front of them and expressed disbelief, grabbed the salt in the pot and stuffed it into their mouths, Cheng Huailiang suddenly saw that the faces of the two of them twitched but they were reluctant to spit it out, hey, they are not afraid of salty death.

There was an excited look in the eyes of the two, it turned out that salt production was so simple, and the amount of salt produced was so high, the army here would not be bothered by salt at all in the future.

The two laughed excitedly.

They ordered people to go back and ask people to bring more guys, and then called a group of people to prepare for a big job, so that the people of Datang would no longer suffer the sin of not being able to eat salt, which was a great achievement.

The two didn't dare to be ambiguous, so they quickly began to write a briefing and quickly sent it back to Chang'an City. (To be continued.) )

PS: I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival!
