Chapter 40: Salt Production Begins
The central square is destined to be quiet today.
After eating the first meal, the orcs began to get busy according to Han Shuang's instructions.
Today's first meal was the eight-pot beef and beef bone soup that the tribesmen arranged to cook early in the morning, because Bai brought back a rich prey, and the tribe finally had a full meal today.
Han Shuang secretly said goodbye to the last meal without salt, and then began to be busy making salt.
The steps of extracting salt from salt ore are somewhat cumbersome, because salt ore contains a large number of impurities, and the removal of impurities is particularly important, and the final taste and color of salt have a great relationship with the removal of impurities.
Feng and Bai led more than 30 people with the greatest strength to take turns beating the salt ore, and the first step in making salt is to dissolve it, crushing the salt ore and dissolving it in boiling water.
The orcs who boiled the water were also already busy, and in addition to that, there was a team of orcs who were responsible for transporting water to maintain the supply of water for the follow-up.
Feng's strength was very strong, and the salt ore was smashed into crumbs in his hand for a while, Han Shuang took the salt ore crumbs he sent and took Jian Hewu to the four large stone cauldrons that were burning, and then poured all the crumbs into the first large stone cauldron.
After a bag of salt ore crumbs was put into the pot, she picked up a wooden stick and stirred it back and forth in the pot, until the salt ore was all dissolved into brine, and then she said to the two people beside her: "Next, I'll leave it to you, Feng They sent all the salt ore crumbs like this, just let it completely melt in the water and turn it into brine." ”
After explaining the detention and Wu, she went to work on the filter.
After the salt ore is dissolved, the next step is to filter out the impurities in it, and filter out all the sediment and some harmful substances in it.
There is no filter in this world, but fortunately she found the kapok tree, and the cotton wool in the kapok fruit picked back is the best filter.
Before she met the kapok tree, she originally wanted to use her shirt as a filter, but now that she has a better choice than a shirt, she naturally saves her clothes.
Kapok wool is as soft and white as cotton, not only pure natural and pollution-free, but its most commendable thing is its use.
Kapok wool contains more than 85% fiber, fluffy texture and extremely high fiber density, and it is no less than a set of precision filtration equipment to filter brine filter screen.
This is also the intention of her to pick the kapok fruit in the morning, and this is the time for the kapok fruit to shine.
Pry open the shell, take out the cotton wool, spread it neatly in a basket, spread it to a thickness of five centimeters, and then fix the cotton wool with a rattan net on top and you can use it.
The basket was specially made for Granny He before, so that Granny He could use it to dry medicinal materials, but now the basket has a more important mission.
Thirty arm-thick and half-meter-long kapok fruits took out enough kapok wool to spread ten baskets, and the filtration equipment was available, and the next step was to start filtering the impurities in the brine.
When Han Shuang came to the square again with five filter baskets, it was already full of orcs.
Feng: After crushing all the salt ore, they collectively came to learn to dissolve the brine.
A group of orcs were concentrating on their studies, and people couldn't bear to interrupt them, but for the sake of follow-up progress, Han Shuang had no choice but to speak: "Let's let me go first." ”
She didn't make a loud voice, but the orcs who were watching and learning heard it, and they quickly cleared a passage like well-trained soldiers.
Holding the filter basket, she quickly walked through the passage to the front of them, and the passage behind her was quickly merged by the orcs.
Seeing that she was carrying five baskets, Bai Ma Li stepped forward and snatched it and said, "The thing is so heavy, I'll take it." ”
Han Shuang felt helpless about his enthusiasm, she could refuse the enthusiasm of others, but she couldn't stop others from showing enthusiasm to her.
