Chapter 25 Salt Refining
Under the scorching sun.
Tribal hideouts.
Ye Xi commanded the warehouse tray to pick up a pot of salt soil water that had been dissolved and precipitated overnight, and slowly poured it towards the stove covered with thick hay.
Cangpan's forehead was faintly dripping with sweat, holding a stone basin like a dinosaur, carefully controlling his strength.
Ye Xi looked at the faucet where the water flowed as if it couldn't squeeze out the water, and poured down one by one, and couldn't help but say, "It's too slow." ”
The whole person in the warehouse shook, and the angle of pouring water suddenly increased, and a large lump of water was poured into it.
The corners of Ye Xi's forehead jumped: "It's too much!"
The warehouse blushed, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, and poured water down one by one.
Ye Xi covered his forehead.
Qi, who was watching from the sidelines, sneered: "Look at your scared look, it's not even good to pour water." ”
The warehouse was annoyed: "Then you come." ”
The contract was stagnant for a while, and he stopped talking.
Ye Xi immediately decided: "Deed, you come to replace the warehouse." "How long will it take to get such a slightest.
Ye Xi spoke, and Qi had no choice but to take the stone basin and assert: "I must do better than the warehouse." ”
Hearing him say this, Ye Xi was relieved, after all, not everyone is like a warehouse, pouring water is like pouring gold.
So the deed that reassured Ye Xi began to work.
The deed lifted the stone basin, and the deed gradually tilted the stone basin, and then the deed's face began to rise rapidly red!
Then in Ye Xi's dull gaze, the water began to flow down a little, a little bit.
“......”
Qi was in the sneering eyes of the warehouse, his face became redder and redder, and his forehead began to sweat. No, when I think that the current action is related to whether or not I can bring out the salt, I don't dare to pour it hard. He finally realized the taste of the position just now.
Ye Xi took a deep breath: "You put it down, I'll come." ”
Dejectedly, he lowered the stone basin.
The two of them were called by Ye Xi to help, and the two of them were very excited after knowing their task, but they didn't expect that they were so useless, and they made Ye Xi do it himself.
Ye Xi has been transformed by different flowers, and his strength has increased, and it is not a problem at all to hold such a large stone basin.
The muddy water poured down unhurriedly, filtered through the thick hay on the stove, and leaked into the stone basin held underneath.
The water in the stone basin is grayish-yellow after a filter, and there is a lot of unfiltered sediment in the middle, but it is much cleaner than the muddy water before it was filtered.
Gradually, more and more sediment on the hay.
Ye Xi: "Warehouse, change a layer of grass." ”
"Oh. Cangpan hurriedly replied, and then quickly threw away the layer of grass with dirt and replaced it with clean grass.
Seeing that the warehouse was not evenly spread, he hurriedly tidied it up on the side.
Seeing that they couldn't pour water, and the grass was good, Ye Xi nodded approvingly to them: "Not bad." ”
Cangpan and Qi touched their heads and smiled, and they were very happy to be praised.
Gradually, the water in the stone basin was poured, and Ye Xi filtered the water that had been filtered again, and slowly filtered it according to the method just now.
Finally, the water that has been filtered five times becomes without a single sand, golden and clear, translucent and translucent, which is the brine.
"Wow, it ended up being this color. Che squatted on the ground and looked at the stone basin with a sigh.
As he spoke, he stretched out an index finger and wanted to dip it on his finger to taste it, but he was slapped away by the warehouse and scolded: "Don't touch it, you haven't washed your hands, you dare to touch it if it's so dirty?"
He withdrew his hand in resignation.
Ye Xi looked at the sky and announced, "Okay, let's leave it overnight first, and we'll continue tomorrow." ”
Cangpan: "It's going to be left overnight, but there's no sand in this water?" He originally thought it was unreliable to use clods of soil to refine salt, but when he saw the yellow and clear water that came out now, he couldn't help but have the hope of refining salt in his heart.
Ye Xi: "There is also a layer of invisible impurities, which need to be precipitated, don't be in a hurry." ”
Early the next morning.
Ye Xi woke up and opened his eyes and was startled, two big faces reflecting the dim yellow firelight, and the gloomy face was on the tip of his nose.
Frightened, Ye Xi reflexively aimed at a face with a hard punch, and then rolled and quickly avoided to the side.
"Hmm. The man who was beaten screamed in a muffled voice.
After pulling away and seeing who these two people were, Ye Xi angrily reprimanded: "Cangpan, deed, what are you doing!"
These two men actually held torches and sneaked into his cave to stare at him!
Cangpan rubbed his nose, Ye Xi's punch hit him in the nose, although Ye Xi was not a warrior yet, it was still a little painful to be hit like this on his nose.
Qi saw that Ye Xi seemed to be frightened by them, a little weak and short of breath, and laughed embarrassedly: "Aren't we in a hurry to refine salt, we see that it's not too early to see that it's almost time for you to wake up, so I'll come to you." ”
Ye Xi repeated with a strange expression: "Isn't it early?" and then silently stared at the torches they held in their hands without speaking.
Qi hurriedly said: "Ye Xi, your cave is too dark, I don't believe you go outside the cave to take a look, the sky is already bright." ”
The warehouse nodded in agreement.
Ye Xi suddenly smiled and said to them very gently: "Even if it's already noon, you will come to my cave like this in the future to scare me, believe it or not, I will make you regret it." ”
As soon as anyone woke up, two ghostly faces reflected in the firelight came together in front of him, and he couldn't help but get angry.
The warehouse and the deed neck cooled a little.
It was the first time they saw Ye Xi angry, and their hearts were weak, and they hurriedly promised not to do this again.
Ye Xi glanced at the two of them and walked out.
Outside the cave, the sky was still faintly bright, the air was filled with mist, the birds chirped in the jungle, and the little pterosaurs, which usually hunted insects in the clearing, were now nowhere to be seen.
The sun has not yet risen on the horizon, the temperature is pleasant, and the air is fresh.
Ye Xi took a deep breath and said to the two people who were carefully looking at his face, "Let's go." ”
Now it's just one last step.
After a night of precipitation, the brine was layered again, and Ye Xi took matters into the prepared stone pot by pouring the upper layer of brine into the prepared stone pot.
The deed and the warehouse set up firewood and lit the fire.
Ye Xi noticed that the firewood they brought was red pine wood, and the barbecue meat made of this wood would have a rosin fragrance, but it was far away from the tribe and the yield was small, and the tribe occasionally had the luxury of using this wood to roast meat, which was usually reluctant.
The fire gradually flourished, illuminating the faces of the warehouse and the deed.
They stared intently at the firewood, adding some hay from time to time to make the fire bigger.
Ye Xi then realized that their eyes were bloodshot.
"You haven't slept all night?"
The position and the deed were stunned.
Cangpan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't sleep." ”
Ye Xi was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a stumbling movement coming from the jungle behind him, which was very slight, and if it weren't for Ye Xi's transformation through different flowers, he wouldn't have been able to catch it.
Ye Xi turned around.
The jungle in the rear was calm.
Ye Xi stared at the jungle for a while, and sighed helplessly: "Come out, what are you doing hiding." ”
After a while, there was a strange noise in the jungle, and then four people emerged from the inside of the warehouse and the deed's hellish eyes.
It turned out to be the chieftain, Yong, Luo, and a warrior with two flame marks on his chest.
