Chapter 88: Salt Making

Apparently, it was the people of the salt transport team who returned.

They stopped in a clearing. An orc flew in front of Zhong Xuyao: "Divine Son, what to do with these things?" ”

"Go find a larger stone pot. Then find some long grass and weave it into a mat larger than a stone pot......" Zhong Xuyao explained the next steps to them in detail.

Soon, a stone pot was covered with a straw mat with river sand on top of it, and another layer of mat was placed on top of the river sand. Then put the wood-burning ashes, and finally put another layer of mats. Motioning for the orcs to compact these.

These things can be found almost everywhere in the tribe, especially the wood-burning ash, and the stove has hardly stopped since she came to the tribe. It's burning all the time. Zhong Xuyao naturally didn't waste these ashes, and let them collect them every time. You know, these ashes are natural fertilizers.

Put the crystalline salt brought back by the orcs into a bamboo tube and add water. When it is fully dissolved, take a small spoon and pour water over the mat.

The brine passes through the wood ash, and then through several layers of filtration, and when it flows into the stone pot, it is already edible salt water. After that, they can collect the real table salt as long as it is boiled again.

Of course, this table salt is naturally incomparable to the refined salt of her original world. But fortunately, it is already ready to eat.

After learning how to make salt, the orcs immediately divided into teams and took out stone pots to start making.

Bamboo shoots, bamboo, wood, cocoons, and now with salt, these things are boiled, and the stone pot is actually a little insufficient. Barron hurriedly arranged for the other orcs to start making stone cauldrons in batches.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing with this thing? Do you think that Yi Xiu's anger is not big enough? Bernie grumbled weakly. She just glanced at the contents of the bamboo basket, which turned out to be the crystallization next to the saltwater lake.

Zhong Xuyao couldn't cry or laugh, "What are you thinking in your head?" These are salts. I asked you to eat hairy fruit because there was no salt in the tribe. Use hairy fruit instead. Didn't you drink blood before? It's because there is salt in the blood. ”

"Salt? However, this thing hurts when it hits the wound, can you really eat it? "Bernie

"Yes. Salt is a necessity for the human body and has many functions. However, it will be more pitted when it hits the wound. Zhong Xuyao spread his hands and said. She hadn't rubbed salt on the wound, and she didn't have an idea of how much it hurt. But in TV dramas, it is often played, and when Xing is used, sprinkling salt can increase some pain.

"Then it would be good for us to eat hairy fruit, and it would be convenient. Those hairy fruit trees are full of hairy fruits, and they can't eat them all. Why do you have to do it again? Bernie said a little depressed. In her eyes, there is no need for such a dangerous thing with hairy fruits.

"The salt of the hairy fruit is not enough at all. There are many functions of salt, such as disinfection and freshness. Don't you always say that things are hard to preserve? With salt, things can be stored for a long time. Zhong Xuyao explained to Bernie one by one.

"Can you save food?" Bernie exclaimed, his eyes full of incredulity. In their eyes, salt is poisonous, and it is difficult for her to understand that poisonous things are used to preserve food.

"yes. We usually rub the meat with salt so that it can be left for a long time after it has dried. "Zhong Xuyao

"Really?" Bernie

"Hmm." Zhong Xuyao shrugged, "In the past, our family was preserved like this. ”
