Chapter 57: Crystal Salt
The door of the storeroom.
Zhou Baiqi, Qiu Yuancai, Wei Zhi, Qi Zhicheng, Li Tao, Xu Jun and other officials who rushed over after hearing the news, looked at the animal skins and timber full of warehouses, their mouths opened wide in surprise, and the eyes of everyone in the combat group were different.
"Old Zhou, you came just in time." Liu Zhi saw Zhou Baiqi coming, and hurriedly pulled him over: "You organize the manpower to make these animal skins into leather armor, leather boots and gloves, the style is according to my body, there is only one requirement, you must ensure that all members of the combat group have a set, if there is any left, you can watch and deal with it yourself." ”
Zhou Baiqi nodded and wrote it down, Liu Zhi's eyes swept around again, and said loudly: "Is Wang Yimin here?" ”
"Come, chief, I'm here, let go, let ......" Wang Yimin squeezed in from outside the door.
Liu Zhi glanced at dozens of hexagonal woods, turned to him and said: "These woods will be handed over to you, first break down the long knives, spears and daggers, if the logistics team and the technical team need tools, you can also help them do some depending on the situation, but the main focus is still on weapons, don't worry about the lack of wood, I will let Jing Ning make a forest out." ”
"Oh, yes." Wang Yimin responded with a smile, although he knew that the workload was extremely huge, he was willing to do it, and he didn't feel half dissatisfied.
After explaining this matter, Liu Zhi turned to Qiu Yuancai again: "Old Qiu, you go and pick a chef with the best skills, who is specifically responsible for Wang Yimin and Jing Ning's food, oh yes, I remember that there is a nutritionist in the medical team, let the chef communicate with him, figure out how to match meat and vegetables, how to be nutritionally balanced, and most importantly, there must be demon beast meat for three meals." ”
Qiu Yuancai was puzzled: "Brother Zhi, the chef and nutritionist are fine, but this demon beast meat ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it for long. ”
Well? Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?" ”
In addition to the one-eyed bear man, the six demon beasts that he hunted later, he sent someone to send five back, even if the whole camp ate together, it would be impossible to eat it in ten days, not to mention that he had already issued a strict order, only the awakened could eat the demon beast meat.
"It's a matter of expiration date." Qiu Yuancai sighed lightly: "We have already tested it, although the shelf life of demon beast meat is much longer than that of ordinary meat, it is not more than twenty days, after twenty days, the meat will turn sour, and the spiritual energy in it will disappear, the crocodile demon beast you hunted back last time will deteriorate in about twenty days." ”
Liu Zhi furrowed his brows, in the past, the food they hunted would only be eaten for two or three days at most, and then they would eat it on the day of hunting, so they didn't have to worry about long-term preservation at all, and the large demon beasts were often several tons, and the number of awakened people was small, so it was obvious that they couldn't eat it in a short time.
At this time, Zhou Baiqi also spoke, he added: "Because there is no salt, we can't save the meat by salting, we can only hang it up and dry it in the sun, but even so, the shelf life is about thirty days, this is also the first thing I am going to report to you, if you can't find a proper solution, the shortest ten days, the longest fifteen days, the tens of thousands of catties of demon beast meat in the camp will all spoil." ”
Liu Zhi subconsciously covered his temples, then remembered something, looked at Huang Han on the side and said, "Duan Qi, how long will it take for them to come back?" ”
Huang Han calculated for a while and replied, "At least the night after tomorrow." ”
Hearing the two of them say this, everyone realized that there were fifteen people when they set off, but there were only thirteen standing here, and Duan Qi and Tu Wei were not there.
Liu Zhi thought for a while, and instructed Huang Han: "In this way, you take a few people to bring those new members back, and let Duan Qi and Tu Wei take the three wolves to go directly to the nearby salt pond or salt mine, if the three wolves can't find it, let Duan Qi catch the nearby beasts and ask." ”
"Okay, I'll go right away." Huang Han responded, took Liu Zhi's six-square gun and dagger, called Shaochuan above, ordered five more people, and quickly ran out of the camp.
"Okay, now we can talk about the rest."
"The second thing is the distribution of the house......
Next, a group of camp "senior officials" held a brief meeting directly in the warehouse, Liu Zhi adhered to the management policy of opening up the way of speech, let everyone express their opinions, and they themselves were as good as flowing, two hours later, many problems finally finalized a specific solution, and then the officials accompanied Liu Zhi to inspect the fifty round earthen houses that had just been completed, and cordially expressed their condolences to the people who were working - well, in fact, this is not, Liu Zhi's character really can't do this, he just told Xu Jun, Let him build the rest of the house to the two caves.
The next day, Huang Han returned to the camp with seven new members, and Liu Zhi put all the members of the combat team into production, which greatly improved the efficiency of building houses.
Three days later, Duan Qi and Tu Wei successfully found a salt mine, which was only more than fifty kilometers away from the camp, and Liu Zhi immediately organized people to mine and refine it, but when they brought the rock back, a small accident happened.
The rock is covered with crystal-like transparent crystals, pale pink, Wei Zhi after a little inspection, directly peeled one and threw it into his mouth, tasted it for a while, and then said to Liu Zhi excitedly: "Chief, this is pure natural crystal salt, crystal salt, this time we have made a fortune, we have made a fortune, with this salt mine, we can completely ......"
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, he was stunned, and then sat down on the ground, "I forgot, we have all crossed, and there is no difference between coarse salt and refined salt." ”
Liu Zhi had never seen him lose his temper so much, so he couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked, "Teacher Wei, what is crystal salt?" ”
Wei Zhi was still a little depressed, and replied: "It is a very pure salt, which is usually formed after more than a million years of underground extrusion, and the 'Himalayan rock salt' on our earth belongs to crystal salt, especially this pink-like, which is worthy of the name of the 'king of salt'." ”
"Very pure?" Liu Zhi's focus was obviously different from his, and he asked, "Does that still need to be refined?" ”
Wei Zhi shook his head and said: "Of course not, this salt contains a higher proportion of sodium chloride than edible salt, and it is also rich in dozens of minerals and trace elements needed by the human body. ”
Hearing him say this, Liu Zhi remembered that the upper-level officials of Xinchun City in the previous life seemed to be eating such a kind of powdered salt, could it be from the same salt mine?
Thinking of this, Liu Zhi asked Tu Wei on the side, "Old Tu, how big is that salt mine?" ”
"The outcropping is about ten meters wide and three or four meters high, and I can't see how deep it is." Tu Weidao.
Liu Zhi thought for a while and instructed: "Lao Tu, you bring more people back in the past few days, first ensure the pickling of animal meat and the normal needs of the camp, and when the building of the house is done, we will discuss the specific mining method." ”
"Okay, I got it."
