Chapter 20 Yantian

Hua Gu's adulterer was actually Zhao Da, which really surprised Ji Mingyue, after all, it seemed that the two people who couldn't beat the eight poles at all, how could there be that kind of relationship!

However, it is not a relationship that can be said openly, so it is natural to hide it a little deeper!

Anyway, now that the matter has come to this, Hua Gu has nothing to hide. told all about how she and Zhao Da met and how they developed to Ji Mingyue later.

It turned out that Zhao Da originally liked Hua Gu, but at that time, Hua Gu's husband was embarrassed in front of the big boss and married Hua Gu forcibly. Zhao Dazheng couldn't fight but also gave up. But later, Hua Gu's husband lost a leg when he went to sea with the big boss, and from then on he was no different from a wasted person, and Zhao Da's originally dead heart began to stir again.

Later, Hua Gu was beaten by her husband who lost a leg, and she couldn't live her life, Hua Gu couldn't think about it for a while, and when she went to the beach, she was about to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, and she happened to be rescued by Zhao Da. Since then, Zhao Da has sent something to Hua Gu every once in a while, or fish, shrimp and seafood, or salt, rice, sauce, vinegar or oily flour cloth.

Relying on Zhao Da's help, the life of the Hua Gu family can barely be maintained. This is Hua Gu's husband's temperament is becoming more and more violent day by day, the more her husband treats Hua Gu, the more Hua Gu will think that Zhao Da is good. And she couldn't repay Zhao Da's kindness, after a long time, Hua Gu felt that she owed Zhao Da too much, and finally the two developed that kind of relationship......

After listening to what Hua Gu said, Ji Mingyue couldn't help sighing, although Zhao Da was not treated well in the back kitchen of the dock, but he was not a bad person in the end, at least he was sincere to the person he liked.

It's just that Ji Mingyue was already strange, it stands to reason that the dock should be the place that the big boss attaches the most importance to, even if the island is poor, but the food in the dock shouldn't be so bad, but at this moment, he suddenly figured it out, this Zhao Da probably secretly deducted the materials in the back kitchen to help Hua Gu.

Thinking of Zhao Da's distressed and resentful expression when he fried fish and put oil and salt that day, Ji Mingyue was a little funny at this moment. This Zhao Da was so jealous of himself before, and he was afraid not only because he was afraid that he would threaten his position, but also because he was afraid that there would be no oil and water to fish in the future, and he would not be able to help Hua Gu!

"Sister, I know you're also working in the back kitchen of the dock, I think you probably guessed what he did, will you go and expose us to the big boss?" Hua Gu suddenly grabbed Ji Mingyue's hand and pleaded with a face.

Ji Mingyue held Hua Gu's hand, smiled, and gave Hua Gu a reassuring expression, "Don't worry, you are also forced to do it, I will not expose it to the big boss!" ”

If this was elsewhere, Zhao Da's behavior would be really despicable, but now that he is in a pirate's den, Ji Mingyue doesn't need to sue a pirate from the big boss, and it is Hua Gu who suffers in the end.

Hua Gu breathed a sigh of relief. However, she originally confessed to Ji Mingyue, that is, she believed that Ji Mingyue would not betray her.

Ji Mingyue has been here for a while, and after talking for a long time, she suddenly remembered, "Sister, have you eaten?" ”

Ji Mingyue remembered that it was the time to eat in the back kitchen of the dock, and Zhao Da went to the dock to cook, so Hua Gu must have not eaten.

Hua Gu smiled a little embarrassedly, "Not yet!" Girl, you haven't yet, have you? Why don't you go back to dinner first, it stands to reason that I should give you some food to entertain you, but my sister is now covered in injuries, I'm afraid I can't do it! ”

Ji Mingyue was a little angry when she heard that Hua Gu hadn't eaten yet, Huo Ting could think about making a bowl of noodles for herself, so Zhao Da still specializes in cooking, why did he only care about his own errands, and didn't think about cooking something for Hua Gu to eat before leaving!

But thinking so, Ji Mingyue still didn't say it, after all, people can be together openly now, and saying these things by herself doesn't mean that you really provoke other people's relationships!

Ji Mingyue sighed, got up and prepared to cook something for Hua Gu, not wanting Zhao Dazheng to enter the house with a food box.

As soon as Ji Mingyue and Zhao Dafu met, they were all in the same place, and then without waiting for Ji Mingyue to speak, Zhao Da walked in front of Ji Mingyue first, knelt down for Ji Mingyue with a plop, and knocked his head three times.

"Mrs. of the third master, in the past, it was me Zhao Dayou who was blind and blind, I don't know how righteous Mrs. is, how offended! I Zhao Da will not say anything beautiful, today's matter, I Zhao Da will be grateful to you for a lifetime, what do you have in the future, just inform me, I Zhao Da has no words! ”

Ji Mingyue never thought that Zhao Da could change so quickly, and looking at Zhao Da's attitude, it was indeed sincere.

Ji Mingyue thought about it carefully, during the time she was in the back kitchen, compared to these pirates on the island, Zhao Da had not done anything particularly excessive to herself, and she didn't pay attention to those little things at all.

Smiling, Ji Mingyue helped Zhao Da up, "Chef Zhao is serious, I only did this because of Sister Hua, but I don't want anything in return." But right now, I do have something to ask Chef Zhao to help with. ”

"Madam, as long as you say, go up the mountain and down to the sea, I will do it for you!"

Ji Mingyue was helpless, "It's not that serious." I just wanted to ask you, there are salt pans on our island, is there anyone who can dry salt? ”

Ji Mingyue has known that there is a lack of salt on the island since she went to the island, but it is obviously close to the sea, why is there a shortage of salt, this question Ji Mingyue has always been very curious. And this Zhao Da is from the island, and he specializes in dealing with firewood, rice, oil and salt, and no one should know these better than Zhao Da.

"Huh?" Zhao Da Yileng, he never thought that Ji Mingyue just wanted to know this, thought for a moment and said, "I won't tell you, there are no salt pans on our island." Also, what did you say about drying salt...... Where does this salt need to be dried? Isn't this sunburned, our island is already short of salt, where can we dare to put salt out to dry! ”

"There are no salt pans, so you don't know what salt drying is all about, and no one on the island can dry salt?" Ji Mingyue raised her eyebrows.

Zhao Da looked embarrassed, "Madam, this is not a question of whether it will be, this is a ...... no one will do this"

"It's not!" Ji Mingyue smiled and waved her hand to interrupt Zhao Da's words, "The dried salt I said is a way to make salt, but I didn't expect you to know it!" ”

Ji Mingyue suddenly had an idea, if she could dry the salt, would she be able to control the lifeblood of the entire island? Although because of Huo Ting, the pirates on the island are a little jealous of themselves, but after all, they are still not safe, and Huo Ting also has times when he can't care about himself, just like today. But if you can make salt yourself, no one on this island will dare to touch themselves at will!

"How to make salt?" Zhao Da's face was full of doubts, "I've only heard of boiling the sea for salt, and I haven't heard of drying salt!" ”

"Boil the sea for salt? Does anyone on the island boil salt? ”

"In the early years, the salt on our island was boiled by some experienced old people, but it took a lot of wood charcoal to cook the salt, and the trees on the island were cut down too much, and then there was a flash flood, and many people's houses were washed away by the flash flood, and the people were gone. The old man on the island said that this is offending the sea god Niangniang, and God will punish her! ”

"Then no one dared to cut down trees to boil salt, and then the skill gradually disappeared. There are also people who secretly cook it for their own home, but the boiled salt is poisonous when eaten, and people can't eat it, and after eating, they will vomit and diarrhea, and they can't even keep their names. It is said that this is the curse of the sea god Niangniang, and we islanders are not allowed to cook the sea again, if we are going against the sky, there will be a more serious punishment! ”

"I see!" Ji Mingyue suddenly realized.

Ji Mingyue understood that the people on this island used seawater to boil salt, but due to the serious damage to the vegetation on the island due to the felling of trees, it could not conserve water and soil, and there were many heavy rains on the island in summer, which caused flash floods, but the people on the island thought it was a gods.

As for those who secretly boil salt in private, it is probably the wrong method, and the boiled salt contains too many impurities and some trace elements that are harmful to the human body, so it causes salt poisoning, and it is not a curse that the islanders think.

"Chef Zhao, since I can't boil salt, if I can make salt in other ways, can I break this curse?"

Ji Mingyue naturally doesn't need to explain soil erosion and trace elements, on the one hand, it explains that people may not be able to understand it, and if they do, they may not be able to accept it, in addition, Ji Mingyue feels that it is still good that the ancients are sometimes a little in awe of ghosts and gods, as long as it doesn't mess around!

Now that the decision has been made, Ji Mingyue did not delay for a moment, and immediately went to survey all over the island to see if there was any suitable place to be a salt pan.

As for the location of this salt pan, the location chosen must be close to the sea and must be flat, so that it is easy to introduce seawater. Of course, adequate lighting conditions must also be met. However, the most important condition is that the sea water is not easily infiltrated, and the silty coast is the most suitable for this condition.

However, the silty shore on the island was not easy to find, and Ji Mingyue searched for a day before finally finding a beach that met all the conditions. When Ji Mingyue was finally satisfied and ready to return, she found that it was already ten years of sunset, and the bay where Ji Mingyue was now seemed to be a little far away from her home......

As soon as the sea breeze blew, with a little coolness, Ji Mingyue regretted it a little, and she knew that she would have brought Zhao Da with her. Zhao Da is familiar with the island, even if he walks at night, he should be able to walk back, but now he is alone...... Seems a bit hard!
