Chapter 22: Refined Salt Comes Out
teased the little girl for a while, until she ran away with a red face, and then Yunyi remembered that she had to go to the county seat to send a post to Zhuang Jing'an.
In a panic, he took the manuscript and walked out of the courtyard, only to find that the scorching sun was already hanging high overhead.
This......
Why don't you wait until tomorrow morning?
Feeling the temperature outside, Yun Yi decisively turned his head and returned to the house.
Let's not talk about the remaining half a day, whether it is enough to walk back and forth by yourself.
With the ghost weather outside, it is estimated that you can't go far, and you will be fainted on the road by the heat.
Never mind.
One day late, one day later!
I hope Mr. Zhuang doesn't blame him.
Yun Yi walked back to the house in a daze, and saw Shen Youwei absentmindedly being a female celebrity.
Seeing Yunyi go and return, the little girl couldn't help but raise her little head in confusion.
"It's so hot, and it's almost noon, so I'd better wait until tomorrow morning to go!"
Yun Yi explained, and put the manuscript in his hand back on the desk.
"Yikes! It's almost noon! I'm going to get ready for lunch. ”
Listening to Yunyi's words, the little girl couldn't help but turn her head to look outside the house.
When she saw the shade of the trees in the yard, she instantly hurriedly put down the female red.
Just now, I was just talking to Brother Yi'er, and I forgot the time to cook.
Thinking of the thoughtful words that Brother Yi said just now, the little girl couldn't help but be shy for a while, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Looking at Shen Youwei's back, Yun Yi couldn't help but laugh.
I didn't expect this little girl to be so shy.
But when it came to eating, Yun Yi only felt a bitterness in his mouth.
During this time after the crossing, although he has been working hard to adapt to this world.
But for the green salt of this world, he has never been able to adapt to it.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Yunyi.
After all, he has become accustomed to the taste of refined salt in modern society, and now he has suddenly changed to green salt with a bitter taste, and he naturally can't adapt to it for a while.
The last time he went to the county seat, he also thought about buying some refined salt and coming back.
But when he told the man at the salt shop to buy refined salt, the man gave him green salt.
Yunyi told the guy that he wanted refined salt, not green salt.
But the man at the salt shop told him that this was refined salt, and that it was the best salt in their salt shop.
Later, the salt shop guy was forced by him, so he had to roar at him helplessly:
"Are you a scholar who is stupid to read?"
"Our Great Zhou Dynasty, even the emperor eats this kind of salt, where do you want me to find better salt for you?"
"If you want to buy it, you can buy it, if you don't buy it, leave quickly, if you mess around again, I'm going to report to the official!"
From the discussions of the people around him, Yun Yi finally determined that there was really no refined salt in this world.
When he learned the news, he was excited for a while.
Isn't this another way to get rich?
Don't say that green salt is purified into refined salt, it is a salt mine that has just been dug up, and you know how to make refined salt.
But when he remembered that he was in ancient times, he suddenly became a deflated ball again.
You must know that strategic materials such as salt and iron have been government since ancient times.
Even if he knew the method of refining refined salt, he categorically did not dare to sell it.
Otherwise, once it is reported, it will be light to raid the family and exterminate the family.
The problem of salt cannot be accommodated, after all, there are many impurities in green salt.
If you eat too much, it will not do you any good for your body.
Or like soap, secretly refine some by yourself and hide it at home to eat it slowly?
Well, it doesn't seem impossible.
I think that as long as you don't take it out and sell it, you should have no problem eating it yourself.
Just do it.
Yun Yi rolled up his sleeves and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
The fire on the stove had been lit by Shen Youwei, and white smoke was billowing from the chimney.
Yunyi lifted the lid of the pot and took a look, and found that the water in it was not too much, not too much, just right.
So in Shen Youwei's shocked gaze, she grabbed the salt shaker and poured all the green salt inside into the pot.
"Brother Yi'er, what are you doing?"
Seeing Yunyi's movements, the little girl stood up from the stove all of a sudden.
That's a whole jar of green salt!
It's enough for the two of them to eat for a year or two.
"Don't panic, keep burning the fire, this green salt is too unpalatable, I'll refine some refined salt."
Yun Yi waved his hand at Shen Youwei, then picked up the spatula and stirred.
Seeing Yun Yi's serious look, Shen Youwei couldn't help but squat down suspiciously and continue to start a fire.
Is green salt hard to eat?
Compared to the salt I ate before, it's already much better!
However, Yi Ge'er is a scholar, and this refined salt should be similar to the original soap, which is a rare thing.
The little girl thought so, and she was relieved at the moment.
Taking advantage of the boiling water, Yunyi found some charcoal powder and put it in the pot.
Looking at Yunyi's movements, the little girl's heart that she had just put down couldn't help but rise again.
If Brother Yi fails, won't this jar of green salt be completely wasted?
Fortunately, Yunyi didn't let her worry for too long.
After seeing that the liquid in the pot began to become clear, he asked Shen Youwei to find a cloth and filter the liquid inside into another pot.
After cleaning the pot and filter cloth, Yunyi began to repeat the steps just now.
After repeating this several times, the originally turbid liquid in the pot finally became clear and transparent.
"Burn the fire harder."
Yun Yi saw that the impurities in the salt were almost filtered, so he prepared to boil the salt out of the pot.
As the water evaporates, a thin layer of white powder is left on the walls of the pot.
Yun Yi scraped some powder with a spatula, then put some with his fingers and put it in his mouth.
Pure salt taste.
Picked up some more and put them to Shen Youwei's mouth.
The little girl shyly stuck out her tongue.
The tip of the tongue touched the fingertips, and a pure salty taste bloomed on the tip of Shen Youwei's tongue.
"Brother Yi, there is no bitter taste."
The little girl's eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Of course, if it's still the same taste, then wouldn't we be busy in vain?"
Seeing the little girl's sweaty appearance, Yun Yi couldn't help but reach out to help her wipe it, which instantly made the little girl blush.
After the water in the pot was completely boiled, Yun Yi collected all the salt in the pot into the jar.
Seeing that half of the salt in the jar was missing, the little girl couldn't help but feel distressed again.
"Don't feel distressed, since you can eat refined salt, why should you eat bitter green salt!"
"Besides, the two of us don't eat much, and it won't cost a few more dollars if we calculate it carefully."
"Besides, if you eat too much of that green salt, your body will have problems."
"If I get sick at that time, won't it cost more money to buy medicine?"
Yunyi is half comforting, half threatening.
In the end, he even made up a nonsense that eating refined salt would help him study, which calmed down the little girl who was full of regret.
Yun Yi put down the salt shaker, and his eyes couldn't help but sweep to the sugar jar next to him.
