Chapter 1893: Extracting Salt
Ye Xuan rode the wind, and after more than an hour, he had returned from the Rabbit Tribe to the Snake Tribe.
"God! ~~”
"God, you're back!"
Seeing Ye Xuan flying down from the sky, everyone in the Snake Tribe couldn't help but exclaim, but maybe they had seen too many miracles of Ye Xuan, but they didn't kneel on the ground and worship like the Rabbit Tribe.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Xuan put back the ten warriors of the snake tribe who had been put away, and gave another order to let the leader of the snake tribe and Wu come over, and then walked back to his home.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then the leaders of the snake tribe, Snake and Witch, had already rushed over.
"God, you're back!" Seeing Ye Xuan sitting on the Taishi chair at home, after the leader of the snake tribe and Wu walked in, he bowed to him and bowed to him.
"Well, no need to be polite, let's all get up!" With a wave of his hand, Ye Xuan helped the two of them up from the ground, and then asked the two of them to sit down, and then said, "This time, I went to the Rabbit Tribe for three days, has anything happened to our tribe?" ”
"If you come back to your senses, you have been gone for three days, our tribe is still the same as before, everyone's food is still sufficient, no one has died or sick, and there are more prey." Wu hurriedly replied.
After listening to Wu's return, Ye Xuan bowed slightly, and then said, "I went to the Rabbit Tribe this time, and I have already formed an alliance with the leader of their tribe and Wu, and the Rabbit Tribe will be our brother tribe in the future, if they come, you can no longer regard them as enemies." ”
"Yes, God, we'll treat them as a brother tribe." The leader of the snake tribe and the witch nodded.
Ye Xuan bowed slightly, and said, "By the way, this time I went to the Rabbit Tribe, the most important thing is to trade with them the things they brought before, I found that their things are quite useful to us, so I went to form an alliance with them, and I have already made a trading rule with them, the same prey, in exchange for three times the ore." ”
"Come, I'll take out the ore first, and then I'll teach you how to refine it." With that, Ye Xuan stood up and walked outside with the snake and the witch, and then with a wave of his right hand, a large pile of iron ore and salt ore appeared on the open space of the thatched house.
"This stone, which I call iron ore, has a metal called iron in it, and if it can be refined, it will be a very hard metal, much harder than the stone tools you use." Ye Xuan pointed to the iron ore to the snake and the witch road.
"God, is this iron really much harder than our stone tools?" Wu walked to the iron ore, touched the piece of iron ore in front of him, which was half a person high, and asked with some curiosity.
"It's nature!" Ye Xuan nodded, and then walked to the piece of iron ore, stretched out his right palm and slapped it on the stone, only to hear a click, the original whole piece of iron ore was directly slapped into pieces by Ye Xuan's palm, and then Ye Xuan picked up one of the palm-sized pieces of iron ore, ran the true yuan, and suddenly there was an extra real fire in his hand, melting the iron ore, separating some molten iron, and finally turning it into an ordinary iron bar.
"Come, take it and give it a try, this is an ordinary iron bar I refined from this piece of iron ore, I don't use any refining methods, you can see if you can break it." Ye Xuan first wiped off the high temperature on the iron bar, and then casually handed the iron bar refined in his hand to Wu.
Wu took the iron bar in Ye Xuan's hand with both hands, and as soon as he started the iron bar, because Ye Xuan eliminated the high temperature brought by the refining above, it was a little cold, and it was heavier than ordinary stone tools, and then Wu first tried it with his hands, and found that no matter how hard he tried, the iron bar did not break, and handed the iron bar to the snake on the side.
As the leader of the snake tribe, the snake is also the strongest person in the snake tribe, and its strength is very great, that is, even a horned deer can break off its horns, and ordinary stone tools will shatter as soon as they are broken, but Wu saw that even if the snake used the strength of milk, its face was flushed, but the iron bar in his hand was only bent, but there was no trace of breakage.
"This, this is really a good thing, God, if our tribe can have this kind of iron gifted by God, it will be even stronger!" Wu saw all this, and then said with excitement on his face.
Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said, "Don't be happy too early, there are still some difficulties in iron-making for our tribe now, and our tribe is still too weak now, but don't worry, I will help you arrange how to make iron-making when the time comes." Okay, come on, let's take a look at this again, this is another ore that I brought back from the Rabbit Tribe, I call it salt ore. ”
"Salt is a very good thing, eating it can make your body stronger, less likely to get sick, and with salt, your food will be much more delicious."
"Did God say that the kind of thing that wood brought before tasted a little salty and bitter?" Wu thought for a moment and asked towards Ye Xuan.
Wood had stayed with the Serpent Tribe for one night and had brought some salt collected from the rocks, but the salt had not been diluted and had a bitter taste.
However, it is already a rare seasoning for everyone such as the snake tribe who have not eaten salt.
"Not bad!" Ye Xuan bowed slightly, walked to the salt ore on the other side, patted the salt ore and said, "However, the salt of the rabbit tribe is not pure, and it tastes a little bitter, and if you eat too much, you may be poisoned and sick and die." ”
"Ah, how can this be?" Hearing this, the witch and the snake exclaimed.
Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry, since I brought these salt ores back, I naturally have a way to make delicious salt that will not be poisoned after eating." Now, you go and get the people to come and bring this salt ore over and crush it, and then I'll teach you how to make the real salt." ”
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Wu and Snake did not suspect it, and hurriedly went to ask the clansmen of the Snake Tribe to come over, first carry a few large pieces of salt ore over, and then break these salt ores with stones first.
In fact, Ye Xuan only needs to raise his head to help them get it right, but he didn't do it, it's still the same sentence, teach people and fish, not give people fish, the human race is born, and many things are best done on their own.
After the people of the snake tribe smashed a huge piece of salt ore, nearly an hour had passed, and then Ye Xuan asked them to drop the broken salt ore powder into a huge wooden barrel that had been prepared, fill it with water, and let people stir it with wooden sticks.
After the salt in the salt ore powder had been completely integrated into the water, Ye Xuan asked people to prepare a wooden barrel, and then asked someone to take some straw mats made of fine grass and put them on top of the wooden barrels, and then slowly poured the bucket of water that had been mixed with salt from the straw mats.
After a while, when the water was poured, the straw mat was already covered with gray-black slag, and the barrel was naturally filtered salt water.
It's just that these salt water are still poisonous and inedible, Ye Xuan prepared another bucket, and then picked up some wood charcoal from the fire that burned last night, broke the wood charcoal, and then wrapped the wood charcoal with the previous straw mat, and finally threw it directly into the bucket, which made people stir it up again.
After another half an hour, when the charcoal had reacted with the brine in the barrel and detoxified, Ye Xuan let people filter the impurities in the brine in the barrel again as before.
At this point, the brine in the barrel is already edible, but this brine is not conducive to preservation and consumption, and it needs to be boiled dry to get real salt.
If you want to boil dry salt, you naturally need a pot, but the snake tribe naturally doesn't have it, Ye Xuan, who didn't plan to interfere, had to directly refine the iron in the piece of iron ore he got before, and make a huge iron pot, which gave the snake tribe a tool that could cook salt.
After another two hours, the raging flames below finally boiled the water in the pot, and then a thick pile of cyan crystals appeared at the bottom of the pot.
"Salt, salt here!"
"Ah, when you add it to the food, the food seems to be even more delicious!"
"Really, I'll try!"
"I'll try it too!"
"Ah, it's so delicious!"
After a toss, the night of the flood has come, when the salt came out, the people of the snake tribe picked up a little salt and put it on the food, and suddenly all the people of the snake tribe let out bursts of admiration.
Looking at the smiles of admiration and happiness on the faces of the people of the snake tribe who were eating food with salt, Ye Xuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling that it was worth it to do these things.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan seemed to think of something, muttered for a while, suddenly raised his head to look at the void, and said in a low voice, "The way of heaven is above, today I found a kind of salt that can be used for the food of the human race, named it, the salt is edible, and it can also make the human race less susceptible to disease, which will help the human race to reproduce, please learn from it!" ”
