Chapter 93: Salt Mining Begins
Liang Dawei looked down and saw the blood on the ground, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking.
"How can there be blood here?"
The others were also shocked when they heard this, knowing that Fu Minglai had vomited blood, and their eyes were about to fall out in shock.
Liang Dawei suddenly realized, "The little lady and Uncle Liang just knew that this would be the case, so they kept asking the leader to recuperate." ”
The others had more guilt on their faces, to Fu Minglai, but also to the little lady and Uncle Liang.
When they saw that the head could walk and dance, they looked as usual, and they thought that Uncle Liang and the little lady were exaggerating, but the head was actually fine.
Everyone's eyes showed worry, "Boss, you ......"
Fu Minglai interrupted their relatives' words, "That's pretty much it, you guys are like this, I thought I was dying." ”
As soon as he said this, the others had to retract their expressions, hey, the head was so cold.
Qin Min gnawed on the leg of mutton and comforted him gently: "Fu Minglai is fine, as long as he rests well for more than half a month, he will be able to recover as before." ”
It will even improve a lot.
Everyone put their hearts at ease, looked at each other, and came to Qin Min's side, "Little lady, you eat more, why don't you eat a leg of mutton." ”
There are many little ladies who come to take care of the head, only those who have big hearts, maybe they won't react until the head dies.
Liang Dawei thought for a while, "Boss, or you will be responsible for leading the way tomorrow, and we will go to the salt mining." ”
Fu Minglai had no objection, "Okay." ”
Qin Min was overwhelmed, quietly took digestive medicine, and immediately seized the time to sleep to replenish his strength.
The next morning, as soon as the sky was revealed, everyone was ready to go.
Qin Min followed them out of the cave, and walked nearly a thousand meters of saline-alkali land before reaching the foot of the salt mountain.
This salt mountain was formed by the ancient saltwater lakes that dried up and then changed the earth's crust.
The craggy ridge is covered with layers of white crystals, which from a distance you think are covered with a thin layer of snow, but when you look closely, you can see that those white crystals are all rock salt.
Salt that was scrambling for the outside and was extremely expensive was just left bare on the surface in large chunks and exposed to rain and wind for many years.
Qin Min could see that his hands were itchy.
There is so much salt here, you can make a small amount of money by shoveling it casually and taking it back to dispose of it, which is really low-cost and high-income.
Qin Min turned his head to look at the others.
When they began to dig up the rock salt attached to the mountain, she also took the opportunity to stuff some rock salt into the space.
Unexpectedly, they did not stop, and continued to walk towards the salt mountain.
Qin Min followed them, picked up a piece of yellow-brown rock salt on the ground, and said curiously, "Where are we going?" Don't you pick salt anymore? ”
Liang Dawei shook his head, "There are too many salt impurities outside, and there are some bitter ones, and the taste is very poor, and there are better ones in the mountains." ”
Hearing this, Qin Min silently threw away the rock salt.
As soon as she stepped into the salt mountain area, she felt the feeling of the soles of her feet change.
The mountains of the Salt Mountains are a mixture of rock salt and earth, which is much harder than ordinary mountains and very inhospitable.
Qin Min was wearing thin straw sandals, feeling like he was walking on a cobblestone road.
She slipped and almost slid downhill.
Under the sunlight, the thick layer of rock salt under the slope is eroded and shaped by the rain, like countless sharp knives facing upwards, revealing a sharp and hard light.
Qin Min's expression froze, and he couldn't help but be a little careful.
The group entered a cave.
The entrance to the cave is not large, but it is very deep and long, like an anthill or a huge labyrinth, with many forks and many large and small burrows.
The caves were like stalactite caves, with white awls hanging from the walls as if they didn't need money.
Qin Min remembered that this kind of cave was called a salt cave, and the white awls on the cave were all salt blocks formed by the evaporation and crystallization of salt brine, and the salt purity was very high.
These huge pieces of salt should be sold for 100 or 10 gold when they are sold outside.
Qin Min was itchy to see it, and quietly fell behind the people, and screened the tools in the space that could quickly and quietly harvest the salt blocks.
Liang Dawei turned around, saw Qin Min falling behind, and hurriedly walked to her side, "Little lady, why are you lagging behind, hurry up, the terrain here is very complicated, it's easy to get lost." ”
Qin Min, "......"
She was led to the center of the procession, and she had to discourage the idea of picking salt and followed the pace of the procession.
She knew the road at first, but after more than a dozen forks, she had to give up.
She looked up at Fu Minglai, who was calmly leading the way at the front, and sighed a little more in her heart.
In this twisting and turning place, even the compass is not necessarily good, if it weren't for Fu Minglai to familiarize himself with the road, all of them would have lost their way long ago.
Fu Minglai stopped in an inconspicuous narrow cave, "It's here." ”
Compared to other stalactite-like salt caves.
This salt cave is as beautiful as a huge crystal, and the rock salt inside is white and clear, and obviously the impurities are very low, and the quality is very good.
The others picked up their tools and began digging for the rock salt on the cave walls.
Liang Dawei looked at Fu Minglai, "Boss, you go back to the cave first, and come back to pick us up in the evening." ”
Fu Minglai nodded and left.
After a moment, he turned back again, looked around lightly, and slipped out of Qin Minti in the crowd and took him away.
Fu Minglai's brows furrowed slightly, and he said puzzledly: "They want to mine salt here, what are you doing here?" ”
Qin Min said seriously: "I can also help with salt picking." ”
Don't look at her thin arms, she can also wield an axe.
Fu Minglai, "......"
People are small, but their ambitions are not small.
He took the axe pinned behind him, held the handle of the axe in his right hand, and handed it to her vertically, "Then take it." ”
Qin Min held it under his palm.
Fu Minglai let go of his hand.
Qin Min knew that he would let go of his hand and hold the handle of the axe hard, but his hand fell straight down by the unexpected weight.
With a bang, the axe hit the ground.
Qin Min, "......"
I felt that I could hear Fu Minglai talking, he couldn't even catch an axe, and he dared to say that he could do such hard work as salt mining.
Fu Minglai naturally didn't say anything.
After he made her realize the reality, he picked up the axe and pinned it behind him again, and said lightly: "Let's go." ”
Qin Min only felt a pity, he came to Salt Mountain, but he was looked at by people and had no chance to mine salt at all.
Fu Minglai did not take her back to the cave, but went around to other salt caves.
Qin Min vaguely remembered that the way he came was not like this, and he was puzzled, "Aren't we going back to the cave?" ”
Fu Minglai paused, "Does the little lady want to go back to the cave?" ”
Qin Min hurriedly shook her head, if she went back to the cave, how could she still have a chance to pick salt.
Seeing this, Fu Minglai continued to walk forward.
Qin Min followed him step by step, "Then where are we going now?" ”
"The little lady came here for the first time, you might as well take a look at the caves here, there is a unique view."
Qin Min's eyes lit up, and he felt that there was an opportunity to mine salt, "Is it okay?" Won't it delay your time? ”
Fu Minglai shook his head with a flat expression.
