Chapter 100: Rock Salt

Palet noticed the change in Jing Zhan's mood, she approached Jing Zhan, took a deep breath, and held Jing Zhan's hand, Jing Zhan, who was holding his hand, was a little stunned, and he looked at Palet.

At this moment, Palet felt a little embarrassed, she cleared her throat and said, "I'm going to eat roast sheep later, are you looking forward to it?" As soon as Palet said it, she regretted it, and it felt even more embarrassing about what she said.

Jing Zhan noticed Palet's intentions, he held Palet's hand back, and replied very seriously, "Looking forward to it." ”

Palet looked at Jing Zhan's serious appearance, feeling that the air around her was heating up, her heart was beating faster, and her face was turning red.

General Yu, who was observing Jing Zhan and Palet on the side, saw this scene, and the doubts in his heart were completely put down, he originally thought that Jing Zhan was the son of a high-ranking official who came to spy on them, but now that he was so close to his wife, he guessed that Jing Zhan should be a civilian.

Over the years, he had never seen a child of an official family who would be so attentive to a girl.

"You two, we're going to roast lamb soon, can you tell us your story before that?" General Yu let go of his doubts and began to be curious about the identities of palet and Jing Zhan.

Jing Zhan listened to General Yu's words, glanced at palet and said, "Yes." ”

General Yu saw that Jing Zhan agreed, he smiled heartily, and asked the soldiers to bring two stools for Jing Zhan, and Jing Zhan and they began to say their identities.

"My surname is Jing, I am a businessman, I made some money selling rice a few years ago, but I met a villain, and from that day on, I took my wife and started to play around." Jing Zhan summed up his identity and his purpose in two simple sentences.

General Yu nodded after hearing this, "Gongzi Jing has a bold temperament, and he thinks things are quite clear." ”

"General Yu has won the award." Jing Zhan bowed his hand politely.

Yu Tong listened to their unnutritious chat, feeling very bored, he came to General Yu's side, shook General Yu and said, "Daddy, I'm so hungry, can't you roast mutton now?" ”

General Yu listened to Xiao'er's words and said with a smile, "You, Daddy has already gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy when you are your age, and you still think about eating and drinking every day." ”

"Daddy, I'm not worried about eating and drinking, you ask them how brave and ugly I am along the way...... Sister Hua, you tell Daddy, are I brave when we save that patient? Yu Tong was about to shout palet ugly woman, but in front of his father and brother, Yu Tong suddenly didn't want to shout like this.

Palet rarely heard Yu Tong call her sister, which made Palet a little relieved, "Yes, thanks to your help this way, I'm really brave." ”

The handsome soldier was Yu Tong's elder brother Yu Yan, and he heard his younger brother say that the patient felt a little interesting, so he asked, "Patient, what patient?" ”

"It's a group of ......" Yu Tong saw that his brother was interested in this topic, and he hurriedly told his brother about the hardships along the way.

Yu Tong didn't look young, but his speech was very clear, and everyone listened to it with relish.

When Yu Tong finished speaking, everyone's eyes were different when they looked at palet, it turned out that this girl was so powerful and kind, Yu Xin looked at everyone's recognition of palet and clenched his fists.

Palet has already taken a lot of things from her, and her family must not be taken away by her.

"General Yu, the sheep are here." Outside the door, two soldiers carried a bloody sheep into the tent, and Palet gasped when she looked at the sheep, didn't you wash it?

Yu Yan looked at the change in Palet's face and understood that this sheep was scaring this girl, and he explained, "Flower girl, we don't have clean water here, so this mutton is roasted directly. ”

"Sister Hua, this sheep tastes good." Yu Tong had been here before and had eaten this kind of mutton, and the taste of this sheep was still acceptable to him at that time.

"Uh-huh." Palet listened to the words of the two and nodded, but she still couldn't accept it in her heart.

Yu Xin looked at Palet like this, felt that Palet was very hypocritical, and said, "Flower girl, you dislike this roast mutton so much, you should leave the border quickly, this place is not suitable for you." ”

Palet listened to Yu Xin's words and raised her eyebrows, this person is really interesting, she didn't provoke her, she just came over to provoke herself, "Miss Yu, I think you misunderstood me, the first time I saw this way of eating, I was a little surprised, and I didn't dislike it." ”

"You ......"

"Xin'er, the flower girl is a guest." Before Yu Xin's sophistry could be spoken, General Yu blocked her words.

Roast sheep began.

Palet watched the bloody sheep roasted on the fire without any seasonings, and she could vaguely think of the strong smell of mutton when she ate it for a while.

Palet doesn't like to eat food that tastes great, and she's thinking about how she can eat less for a while.

When palet was thinking about it, Jing Zhan had already become friends with Yu Yan, the two were about the same age, had similar personalities, and had many common topics.

"It's baked, it's ready to eat." General Yu put a piece of mutton in his mouth, chewed it, and judged that the mutton was edible.

After a few people divided it, everyone began to eat.

Yu Tong tasted a bite of mutton, his expression became ugly, this mutton was really unpalatable, his stomach had been nourished by palet along the way, and this kind of mutton couldn't enter his mouth at all.

Palet was in a similar situation to Yu Tong now, she frowned and chewed the mutton in her mouth, wondering if there was any way to change it.

Yu Xin looked at Palet's expression and knew that her chance to find fault had come, so she quickly pretended to be concerned and asked, "Flower girl, I don't think your face is very good, but this mutton is not delicious?" ”

Palet listened to Yu Xin's fault, and the corners of her eyes twitched, does this girl have a hole in her brain, why is she always staring at herself!

"Flower girl is not to your taste?" General Yu looked at palet and didn't answer, he asked again.

The general asked palet and had to answer, so he said, "It's a little uncomfortable, the taste of this mutton is a little strong." ”

General Yu looked at Palet and nodded, "There is no way, the water here is salty, and everyone can't drink water on weekdays, so they all rely on the imperial court to transport water." ”

Because water is so precious, they have a special treasure for water, and if they wash mutton with water, it will be too wasteful.

"Saltwater?" From General Yu's words, palet extracted what she was interested in.

"Yes, saltwater, the stones here are salty." General Yu replied.

"Can General Yu take me to have a look?" When palet was younger, she had seen an anime that taught her how to turn salt water into fresh water, and she wanted to see if the salt water here was the same as the one described in the anime.

If it's the same, that's great.

General Yu listened to Palet's request and was a little surprised, how could this girl be interested in saltwater, but since she proposed it, he would take her to see it, "Okay, Flower Girl, please." ”

Yu Xin watched palet escape again, she was dizzy with anger, "Daddy, brother, my daughter is a little uncomfortable and went back to rest." ”

With General Yu's permission, Yu Xin went back to the tent to rest.

And palet followed General Yu to the water source here, and before he reached the water source, palet was attracted by something - rock salt. With this thing here, it's impossible if you want the water not to be salty, "General Yu, why is the barracks set up here, can't you change the position?" ”

"It's like this for dozens of miles here, we can't retreat that far." If you retreat so far, it's easy to lose.

The environment here is evil enough.

While talking, palet and the others came to the water source, palet squatted down and dipped her hand in water, salty, very salty. But don't be afraid, she now has measures to deal with it, one is to use the distillation method, the other is to use the freezing method, in this environment, the freezing method is obviously unrealistic, only the distillation method can be used, thinking of this, palet stood up and asked, "Do you have wood here?" ”

"Yes, usually the barbecue is made of wood." General Yu was a little curious, what does this have to do with wood.

"Wood can be used at will?" In this environment, plants and trees are basically not growing, and palet wants to determine how much wood can be used and whether it is worth distilling.

"Wood can be used as you like, we have a hole here, and it's all dry wood, Flower Girl, what does this wood have to do with salt water?" The doubts in General Yu's heart are getting bigger and bigger, how can he feel like a spy.

"Wood can turn salt water into fresh water." Palet can't wait to make a batch of fresh water out now.

"Can wood turn into fresh water?" General Yu didn't believe it, how could these two things that had nothing to do with each other turn salt water into fresh water.

"General Yu, I can turn salt water into fresh water now, do you have a pot and a fire fold?" Palet proposes what she needs.

General Yu nodded and said, "Yes, come on, you go and fetch the pot and the fire fold." ”

Following General Yu's order, the soldiers quickly brought the pot and the fire fold, and Palet looked at the pot and shook her head, "General Yu, is there this type of pot here?" Palet said as she drew a pot on the ground that she needed.

General Yu looked at the pot painted by palet and shook his head, "Flower girl, we don't have this kind of pot here." ”

"General Yu, then I will use this pot to demonstrate roughly, there will be a little fresh water, if you need a lot of fresh water, you must use the kind of pot I said." Palet finished setting up the pot, lit the wood and began to make distilled water.

Once, twice......

Two quarters of an hour later, palet extracted distilled water, she filled some with the lid of the pot, and handed it to General Yu, "General Yu, taste it, fresh water." ”

General Yu took it and took a sip, his face full of surprise, this flower girl really turned salt water into fresh water, it was really amazing, "Flower girl, how did you do this?" ”

Palet looked at the joy on General Yu's face and said, "I'll boil the salt water to make distilled water." “

Distilled water? General Yu had never heard of the word before, and he found it very interesting.
