"It smells so good!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is merciful, I'm afraid that you haven't eaten meat for so long, so I caught a pike crab for you to eat, and everyone got one, this pike crab shell can't be eaten, knock the shell open, there is meat in it."

"There are still people who feel that they can't breathe smoothly when they eat pike crabs, and those who have red spots and vomit should not eat them!"

"This, what is this pike crab?"

"Oh, that's it, look at it, you can eat it here, you can't eat it here......"

"Thank you."

"Your Highness, salt, salt, salt!"

Gu Chang rushed up from under the city tower in a panic, shouting at Sima Shao like a madman.

"Salt? What salt? ”

"Your Highness, in the pot, salt is boiling in the pot!"

"Huh? Is the salt boiled out? Go and have a look. ”

Sima Shao was stunned for a moment, seawater can dry salt Sima Shao roughly knows, but he doesn't know that salt can be boiled, but Sima Shao doesn't know the specific operation method.

Soon Sima Shao followed Gu Chang to the front of a cauldron, only to see that the pot was still emitting heat, there was no water in it, but there were pieces of white crystalline things underneath, which should be salt.

"Your Highness, it's salt, I tasted it just now, it's salty, it's salt!"

"Nonsense, the sea is still salty!"

Sima Shao gently picked up a large piece and looked at it, it was a little cloudy, the ancient salt did not have modern technology, even if it was fine salt, it was very rough.

Licking it with his tongue is indeed very salty, Sima Shao thought carefully, the method of boiling salt, thought about it for a long time, and really found a little bit of something for him.

"Well, don't boil it so directly, half of the water is gone, just continue to add seawater to it, and try it while steaming the pike crab!"

"Whoa!"

Sima Shao stared at the side, according to Sima Shao's method, after boiling for an hour and finally boiling the water dry, the salt cubes were indeed slightly cleaner, but Sima Shao looked at the burned firewood, and then looked at the burned salt, the cost was too high.

"I remember that there was a way to make salt in ancient TV dramas and movies, and how to do it!"

Sima Shao patted his head, he really hated less when the book was used, why didn't he study hard in the first place?

"Your Highness, this is salt, a happy event, if this sea water can be turned into salt, I will never be short of salt again!"

“…… Look at how much wood was burned to make this bit of salt? Don't report it yet, there should be a better way, I'm thinking about it, but this method will be written down, and let's do some according to the way first, and see if there are any side effects! ”

"Whoa!"

Sima Shao looked at Gu Chang's disappearing back, and didn't understand why he was so excited, but it seemed that there was really a shortage of salt in ancient times, as if salt and iron were as important.

"Your Highness, I've seen other pots, and I haven't found this kind of salt, it's all some brine or miscellaneous salt!"

Gu Chang said in a low voice, his tone was a little decadent, Gu Chang, who was worried about the country and the people, thought that he had found something terrible, but now it seems that it was just an accidental incident.

"Has it all turned into brine?"

Sima Shao had a rough idea in his heart that boiling salt would not be so simple, and Sima Shao remembered that it seemed to need to be constantly filtered, because there were a lot of impurities in it.

"Look at the difference in the pot where the salt is boiled!"

"Whoa!"

Soon the reason was found, the pot that could boil out the salt, spread a piece of gauze underneath, and filtered a lot of things, as for why there was gauze, it can only be said to be a coincidence, as for Sima Shao knew why he needed gauze filtration, it may be because he had seen it in modern times.

"Find some gauze to try, strain back and forth when cooking, remove all the large particles, and the bottom should be salt!"

"Whoa!"

The results of the test Sima Shao didn't care too much, after already having an experience, it was very close to success, and even if he could boil salt, Sima Shao couldn't rely on this to make money, so Sima Shao didn't have much interest, after all, salt and iron were monopolized in this era, and if he wanted to interfere, his father might not be willing to be cheap.

However, in line with the idea of serving the country and the people, Sima Shao decided that after going back, he still had to study the method of drying salt, on the one hand, to find a way out for the people of Jiankang, and on the other hand, to solve the domestic salt shortage, after all, the matter of salt is related to the people.

The pike crab is very popular, and the soldier who said that he would not eat it when he caught the pike crab ate it in one go, and he couldn't get enough of smashing it in his mouth, and looked at his companion: "I don't know if His Highness will attack Stone Bay tomorrow!" By the way, why don't you eat pike crabs! ”

"I want to eat it too, but I don't feel like my mouth is my own!"

The soldier next to him slowly raised his head, revealing his sausage mouth.

......

When Sima Shao woke up the next day, he received statistics, in the end, there were less than dozens of people with seafood allergies, and it was not uncommon for there to be less than dozens of people with seafood allergies among tens of thousands of people, and they didn't eat much, and they wouldn't be fatal.

"Your Highness, when are we going to Stone Bay today!"

Early in the morning, Gu Chang waited for Sima Shao, full of energy, when he ate the pike crab yesterday, he didn't rob the maids, he only ate two, and Gu Chang never forgot this.

"I won't go today, it rained yesterday, right?"

"Yes, it rained heavily last night, and the dirt roads are now all mud, and the surrounding rivers already have some flow!"

"Well, it would be useful to organize some people to open up a vacant lot near the sea!"

"Whoa!"

Last night, Sima Shao thought about it for a long time, so he almost pried his head open, and then sorted out the memories inside, and finally found a trace of ideas about drying salt, after all, he grew up watching TV dramas and movies, and he was also watched Discovery Channel when he was a child, and he knew some history, and he still had some ideas in his mind.

First of all, you need to dig a river to divert the seawater into the salt pans, and then the salt pans need to be leveled and divided into different depths, and then you have to wait for the sun to shine, and the dried sea water will form crystals on the salt pans, and then these crystals will be filtered to remove magazines and other things.

The big lump of salt left at the end, filtered through gauze, and what came out was salt, well, that's pretty much it, it should be like this!

Half of the ideas were thought of by Sima Shao, and half were speculated by Sima Shao according to the common sense of his later generations.

Well, just do it.
