These people were noisy, completely ignoring the lively Satsuki who was watching from the sidelines.

She also happened to observe the situation here, and had heard that there were two salt wells in the town, but in fact, it was an oversimplification to say that the salt wells were completely oversimplified.

A salt farm was also built around the salt well, where there were salt wells, wooden cranes, ox-drawn carts, and cabinet houses, as well as some equipment that Satsuki couldn't understand.

However, what surprised her the most was that she actually saw something similar to natural gas.

She wondered if she had entered the town when she smelled a strange smell, which turned out to be the smell of natural gas not being heated enough.

However, the use of natural gas here is very simple, and it is only used to fry salt in the nearest fire.

Hearing them talking about the imperial court's acquisition of the salt well, Xiao Yue thought to herself, maybe these salt workers could help her escape here.

So, she said to Ergouzi: "It's so hot here, don't you go out to breathe?"

Ergouzi didn't want to stay with these sweaty and smelly salt workers for a long time, and now he has the upper hand, so he just took the opportunity to hide.

So, he glanced at Da Niu, and then said: "Meng Gongzi, it's stinky here, if you don't dislike it, then I'll wait for you outside." Da Niu, you can stay and 'serve' the son. ”

Da Niu didn't have any scheming, he only knew that he nodded innocently, "Ergouzi, I know you don't like it here, don't worry, I will take care of my son." ”

"Yes. Ergouzi turned around and threw a roll of his eyes at Tianmazi, and hurriedly left the salt farm.

Tian Mazi glared at him and spat on the ground in disgust.

Da Niu said to Xiao Yue, "Childe, what's there to see here, let's go out too, it's hot." ”

"What's hot," Xiao Yueman said nonchalantly, "It's still cold outside, and there's nothing else to do anyway, I'll take a look." She smiled suddenly and said, "If you feel hot, you can go out too." ”

Da Niu is much fatter than Ergouzi, and his forehead is already densely covered with beads of sweat at this moment, he shook his head, "No, I can't go." ”

Satsuki chuckled, "That's up to you." ”

Tian Mazi heard them talk like this, and asked with some curiosity, "Da Niu, what is this son standing here looking at, what is he doing?"

Da Niu said in embarrassment: "I didn't tell you just now, it's the guest of the eldest young master, but I don't know what he's looking at here." ”

Xiao Yue smiled slightly, and said to Tian Mazi, "This brother, I just haven't seen salt making, so I'm just curious." ”

Tian Mazi said disapprenously, "Outsiders are usually not allowed to come in here, if you are not the eldest young master's person, the door will not be opened for you." ”

Xiao Yue didn't mind his words, but nodded and said: "These salt-making processes must be secret, but... She pointed to the flames that came out of the tunnel of the stone, and said with a smile: "This thing is used for many purposes, it is only used to fry salt, and it is a bit wasteful." ”

When Tian Mazi heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and he looked at Xiao Yue in surprise, "Do you know what this is?"

Satsuki smiled and nodded.

Tian Mazi still didn't believe it, "Impossible, you seem to be coming to our salt farm for the first time." ”

Xiao Yue pointed to the flame and said with a smile: "Your pot can be raised a little higher and heated with an outer flame, in addition, your flame is a little wrong, the normal one should be a blue flame." ”

As soon as Xiao Yue's words came out, not only Tian Mazi was dumbfounded, but even the salt workers who were sitting next to him to rest were so frightened that they quickly stood up.

Tian Mazi didn't have the same strength as he did to Ergouzi before, and stammered and asked, "Dare to ask this son from that salt farm?"

Xiao Yue shook her head and said, "I've never been to any other salt farm, and this salt farm of yours is the first one I've come to. ”

Tian Mazi glanced at a salt worker beside him, and the salt worker nodded, stood up and ran, and left the salt field as soon as he slipped away.

Xiao Yue looked at their actions a little inexplicably, but she still said quietly: "However, if this thing is not used well, it will be a big disaster." Looks like you're still using it well. ”

Tian Mazi cautiously tentatively said: "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname?

Xiao Yue smiled slightly and said, "You may have misunderstood, I will only use it, and I won't use it." ”

She looked back at the cauldron where the salt was frying, and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter what its name is, what matters is that it is more useful than coal." ”

Tian Mazi's eyes suddenly revealed a trace of admiration that was not noticeable, "Childe is really good, and it is very similar to what my master said." ”

Xiao Yue waved her hand, and then said: "I'm not good, I really admire you salt farm." ”

"Why do you say that?" asked Tian Mazi, puzzled.

Xiao Yue pointed to the big bucket with brine, and said with a sigh: "There are so many impurities in this brine, you probably haven't studied chemistry, and there is a way to decompose it, it's really amazing." ”

"What is Chemistry?"

Satsuki touched her nose and said with a smile, "It's not important, it's how you do it." ”

Tian Mazi said proudly: "This salt well takes salt, which is completely different from the kind of Qiongguo that directly dries the sea water to get salt. However, this technology cannot be passed on to outsiders. ”

Satsuki nodded, "I haven't learned this method either, but I know some simple principles, and saying it will make you laugh." She suddenly noticed a few soybeans spilled on the edge of the pan where the salt was frying, and then said with a smile: "Is your method the same as making tofu?"

Tian Mazi was said by her, her face was flushed, and she said hesitantly: "You... You... What are you talking about?"

At this time, a shriveled old man walked in, saw Tian Mazi so embarrassed, and scolded, "Tian Mazi, why can't you even speak clearly!"

Xiao Yue looked back and saw that the old man was very weak, and he couldn't even walk a little unsteadily, holding a cane with a pestle in one hand and supporting the salt worker who had just left with the other.

While Xiao Yue looked at him, this Lao Tzu's gaze also swept over her.

Don't look at this old man's thinness, but his momentum is still very strong, he said unceremoniously to Xiao Yue: "The eldest young master hasn't sent a new overseer for a long time, I don't know what this son is called?"

Xiao Yue politely replied: "Uncle, I'm not an overseer, my surname is Meng, just call me Xiao Meng." ”

"Not an overseer?" the old man's eyelids rolled, and his tone became even more unceremonious, "Then what are you doing in our salt works?"

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "I haven't seen it, so I'm curious to take a look." ”

At this moment, Tian Mazi hurriedly walked to the old man's side and whispered to him.

Xiao Yue saw that the old man's tone was not good, and she didn't know if these people were trustworthy and could help her escape from here.

So, she thought for a while and said, "Since the old man doesn't want me to watch again, then I won't bother and leave." "Half fate through the world and half fate
