Chapter 043: Making Salt

Shen Miao took the orc to Lin Beastsheng's residence, and knowing that the latter could cure him, he went back first.

When he was about to get home, he saw the neighbor bird and beast coming back from the other side with a heavy heart, and when he saw Shen Miao, the bird and beastman opened his mouth and asked, "Shen Miao, did you buy salt at home?" ”

Shen Miao was stunned for a moment, and said vaguely: "My family's salt hasn't run out yet, what's the matter?" ”

The bird orc said: "Hurry up and stock up on some salt if you don't run out, today I heard a news, the orcs from the far sea, said that the price of salt is going to rise." ”

"Why?" Shen Miao asked subconsciously.

"What else can be the reason for this, the far-sea orcs want to increase the price." The orcs pouted.

Shen Miao was puzzled: "Then don't buy theirs, buy other people's cheaper." ”

The orcs looked at her with a strange gaze, as if they were laughing at Shen Miao for asking such a stupid question, and after a moment he said, "Salt is only available to the beasts of the far sea, and if you don't exchange it with them, there will be no salt to eat." ”

It turned out to be a monopoly on the market, no wonder it was arrogant.

After chatting with the birds and orcs, Shen Miao returned home and went to the kitchen to take a look at the salt in the house, no wonder she only remembered this question now, as soon as she crossed over, her supermarket followed.

After that, whether it was Shen Miao's barbecue or stir-frying, it was all refined salt in the space.

She pulled out a small bag of something similar to salt from the corner of the kitchen, a little yellow, it looked very rough, reached out and dipped it and licked it, it was salty, but there was a bitter taste.

If you use this kind of thing to grill meat, the meat won't taste much better.

Shen Miao didn't expect that the people here were eating this kind of coarse salt, she knew how to improve and purify it, but first she had to have raw materials.

Shen Miao went to ask Qingchen, Qingchen was similar to what the birds and orcs said, their salt was bought from the orcs of the far sea, this is the secret of their tribe, and outsiders don't know it, so the price of salt has always been very high.

Every year, they have to pay a very high price to buy salt from the orcs of the far sea, and they can't buy too much, because they can't afford to pay too much.

Hearing that the price of salt is going to rise again, Qingchen is worried.

"I'm running out of salt at home."

These days, Shen Miao is barbecue again, and she cooks all kinds of delicious food, so I don't mention how much salt she spends.

Shen Miao was a little weak-hearted, coughed and said, "There are still some more." ”

Qingchen just looked at her quietly.

Shen Miao shouted in her heart that it was not good, what does this look mean, could it be that the villain has seen something? It's also that she's been too arrogant lately, and a lot of things are directly taken out for convenience.

But it's all used, if Qingchen asks, she says it's good to make it up herself.

Thinking of this, Shen Miao was confident again, and even revealed a little bit that he could make salt, Qingchen was surprised: "You know how to make salt?" ”

"Yes, when I was a child, I met an orc who traveled to the square, and he said that he came from the far sea, and told me about the process of making salt, maybe he thought I was too young to take me seriously." Shen Miao became more and more proficient in editing, and even he believed it.

Qingchen didn't doubt it anymore, but asked, "Then can you make salt now?" ”

If they could, it would be a great thing for the entire tribe, which meant that they would no longer have to be subject to the Orcs of the Far Sea.

"Yes, you can, but you have to find the raw material, which is what makes salt." Shen Miaomiao's face does not change its color.

Qingchen asked, "What's that?" ”

"The sea." Shen Miao asked, "How far are we from the sea here?" ”

If not far away, she can directly use seawater to dry salt.

Qingchen shook his head: "It's not far, less than half a day's journey." ”

Shen Miao smashed her hands and said excitedly: "That's great, I'll go and see it tomorrow." ”

Qingchen couldn't stop her, Shen Miao went on the road the next day, the cubs and Qingchen entrusted it to their mother, she brought some dry food, stopped and stopped all the way, and finally saw the sea when the sun was about to reach the middle.

The blue sea stretches as far as the eye can see, the sea gently laps against the shore, and the wind blows with a salty and wet smell.

Shen Miao was instantly excited.

This is the actinium of the sea, I didn't expect to come to this world and see the sea.

Shen Miao ran on the beach for a while, and gradually calmed down, her main purpose is to make salt, which is a top priority, as for playing, when Qingchen is well, she can bring the cubs over with her.

Shen Miao immediately began to work.

She took out a large pot of stoves from the supermarket, lit a fire by the sea and began to boil salt.

When the seawater in the pot began to boil, Shen Miao went around the neighborhood, found a place to dig two pools, and injected seawater into the pools, so that the sun could soon dry the seawater, and she could harvest a lot of salt.

I worked until the sun was about to go down, and I finally got it done.

The seawater in the pot has also been boiled dry, revealing crystals with impurities, this is sea salt, but sea salt cannot be eaten directly, it must be purified.

But this step Shen Miao planned to go back to do, when she returned home with a bag of sea salt, it was already completely dark, and several cubs were waiting for her to come back, and pounced like little birds.

Shen Miao was in a good mood, calmed the little cubs one by one, and then went to Qingchen's room happily and showed him the coarse salt he brought back.

Qingchen's eyes widened in surprise, his face was full of incredulity, Shen Miao actually did it.

"This is not good, I have to continue to filter tomorrow, I am too tired today, I plan to rest early, how about it, I will do it." Shen Miao's tail was cocked.

Qingchen said with difficulty: "This is already the same as the salt sold by the orcs in the far sea. ”

Shen Miao pursed her lips, didn't she directly say that it was also called salt? She must make better salt to make all the smashed glasses!

The next day, when Shen Miao was refining coarse salt in the yard, a strange orc walked in, and several cubs stopped playing when they saw the orc, staring at each other vigilantly.

"Who are you?" Xiao Sibao asked in a milky voice.

The orc smiled kindly and asked Xiao Sibao, "I'm here to find a female beast named Shen Miao, she's ...... I saw her. ”

Shen Miao put down the work in hand, stood up, and looked at the other party: "Are you looking for me?" ”

The orc smiled: "You don't know me anymore? I'm the one you saved on the side of the road the day before yesterday, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I would have died there. ”

This orc is straightforward.

Shen Miao suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the orc, the cleaned up orc, it looked refreshing, no wonder she didn't recognize it at first.

This gap is too big, and I really can't recognize it without sharp eyes.

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture, and besides, it's Lin Beast who saved you." Shen Miao didn't care, she really didn't take it to heart.
