Chapter 37 Saline Plants, Wolf's Tail
When Han Che heard this, he was immediately a little puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Mo Lan smiled and said, "Do you remember? I was sick when I first came to the Wolves, and I was dragged to warm ground by the fellows of Rabkani, and it really killed their hearts! But when the brown bears appeared, none of them tried to escape, and they all stood up to protect me! ”
"At that time, Rab said something that touched me very much, so I didn't run away alone, and chose to stay and fight side by side with them!"
"Rab? What did he say? ”
Thinking of those few clansmen who had harmed Mo Lan and committed heavenly evils, Han Che couldn't help but frown.
Mo Lan smiled and said, "Rab said that it is the responsibility of the male to protect the female!" Their willingness to risk their lives to protect a female shows that they have a sense of responsibility in their hearts, and no matter what the purpose is, this behavior is commendable! ”
"So, don't be afraid of them resisting, maybe they won't be able to accept it for a while, but I'm sure they will accept it if they understand that it's for the females they want to protect!"
Han Che listened to Mo Lan's words and finally figured it out.
If the tribe wants to develop, it must always accept more and fresher things, and it cannot be abandoned because of temporary resistance. For example, the tableware advocated by Mo Lan and the ban demanded to be imposed. Without the determination to break and stand up, you will not get the desired results. This time, he chose to obey Mo Lan!
"Good! I agreed. I'll pick a suitable time to issue a ban among the clan. ”
Han Che finally nodded, and Mo Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hungry, huh? Eat something. This is what Sue asked Silu to bring just now. ”
After speaking, Han Che also relaxed for a while. He turned around and picked up a bag of minced meat and brought it to Mo Lan, intending to dine with her.
Mo Lan smelled the smell of flesh, and her brows couldn't help frowning.
It's been a long time since I've been here, and every day it's either a piece of meat or minced meat, and she's about to die of exhaustion!
In particular, the meat has no taste, and it is really unpalatable!
"What's wrong?"
Han Che saw Mo Lan's sad face, and couldn't help but ask.
"I can't eat it."
Mo Lan pitifully tugged at the corners of her cold clothes.
"Aren't you hungry?" Han Che was puzzled.
Mo Lan had a bitter face and complained: "I'm hungry, but I can't eat this every day!" And there is no taste in this meat, how to swallow it! ”
Speaking of this, Mo Lan suddenly remembered something, and said to Han Che: "By the way, didn't Han Ying just say that there is salt here?" Han Che, can you get some salt back? The food tastes salty! ”
When Han Che heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he paused before he said: "Lan, salt is extremely rare in the Kumo Snow Plain, and it is currently only owned by the Snow Wolf Clan. However, they don't have much storage, and they usually don't easily take it out and exchange it with others! ”
"The horned wolf clan once came to provoke and wanted to rob it, but the patriarch of the snow wolf clan, Xue Shen, is brave and good at fighting, and is very good at tactics. After that, no one dared to make the idea of salt! ”
"Oh, is it? So where did the snow wolf get the salt? ”
Mo Lan is more concerned about this issue.
Han Che replied: "Near the territory of the Snow Wolf Clan, there is a wolf's tail grass growing, which is very peculiar and can precipitate salt powder. Every year in the warm season, the snow wolf clan collects salt powder. ”
"It's a pity that there isn't much wolftail grass, and the amount of salt obtained by the snow wolf clan is also small, and sometimes even they don't have enough for themselves, and they won't exchange it with other tribes! Therefore, no other tribe has been able to exchange salt powder from the Snow Wolf Clan. ”
"Wolftail grass that can precipitate salt powder?"
Mo Lan listened, but she was pleasantly surprised! Could it be that this wolftail is a saline plant? Since there are saline-alkali plants, there may be a salt lake near the Snow Wolf Clan! If you have a salt lake, you won't have a problem getting salt!
Thinking of this, Mo Lan hurriedly asked, "Han Che, do you know that there is a lake in the territory of the Snow Wolf Clan?" ”
"Lakes?" When Han Che heard this, he shook his head and said, "No! ”
When Mo Lan heard this, he was immediately disappointed. It seems that it is only by chance that there is such a saline-alkali land in the territory of the Snow Wolf Clan, and a small number of saline-alkali plants will grow!
But the output is so small, it's a drop in the bucket! No wonder the Snow Wolf Clan treats salt as a treasure and doesn't make a move easily!
"I've heard that when you sprinkle salt powder on food, it tastes better. Moreover, eating salted food can also make the people stronger! It is also for this reason that the Snow Wolf Clan has become the tribe with the fewest deaths in the Kumo Snow Plains in the cold season! ”
Han Che continued, a rare hint of envy on his face.
Mo Lan sighed and gave him science listlessly.
"That's natural! Salt is composed of sodium chloride and a small amount of iron, iodine and water, which plays an extremely important role in the human body. Sodium and chloride regulate water and osmotic pressure in the human body, maintain acid-base balance in the body, and enhance neuromuscular excitability. Therefore, eating foods with salt can not only make the body healthier and stronger immunity, but also make the body's muscles full of strength. Therefore, salt is not only an indispensable condiment in life, but also an important food to maintain the balance of life! ”
Although Han Che didn't understand some of the words in Mo Lan's mouth, he probably understood the truth.
He nodded and said, "I also know that salt is a good thing, but unfortunately not everywhere has wolftail grass, how can it be so easy to get salt powder?" I once took people to the Kumo Snow Field to look around, but there was no trace of wolftail grass! ”
After that, Han Che also sighed helplessly.
Mo Lan glanced at him and said, "Actually, in addition to saline plants, there are many ways to obtain salt. According to the natural conditions, salt can be divided into four types: sea salt, lake salt, well salt and mineral salt, and if these conditions are present, salt can be obtained. ”
Speaking of this, Mo Lan frowned and said, "However, it is really difficult to say that there is no salt mine in this Kumo Snow Plain, and even if there is one under our current conditions, it is not easy to mine it." Not to mention well salt! The only thing that can still hold on to hope is lake salt! Han Che, are you sure that there really is no lake on the Kumo Snow Plain? ”
Han Che listened, shook his head affirmatively, and said, "There really isn't!" Not to mention the lake, it's just a small puddle that I've never seen. Besides, even if there is a lake, it will definitely freeze, and after the ice and snow are covered, it will be even more difficult for people to notice! ”
When Mo Lan heard this, he immediately shook his head and smiled: "No! Ordinary water freezes at zero temperatures, but salt lakes don't freeze even in the cold of winter! ”
"A lake that doesn't freeze? Is there such a miraculous lake in the world? ”
Han Che obviously couldn't believe it, his face was full of surprise and disbelief.
Mo Lan smiled and said, "Yes, this is because after the salt content in the salt solution reaches 20%, its freezing point will be reduced to -16 °C. The freezing point of the saturated salt lake water can be lower than -20°C, so if it is really a salt lake, even in the high mountains and snowfields, it is still in a state of water flow and does not freeze. ”
After listening to Mo Lan's explanation, Han Che suddenly realized, but he still exclaimed: "If there is really such a lake on the snow field, I am afraid it will also be regarded as a divine lake!" ”
When Mo Lan heard this, she could only shrug her shoulders speechlessly.
"Human beings will always deify the unknown, in fact, as long as they understand the truth, the so-called magic is just a manifestation of ecological nature."
"Ecological nature?" Han Che was stunned.
