Chapter 12 Refined Salt? It's not easy!
Although Lao Cao's headache was cured, he looked weak and couldn't lift his strength.
It seems that such an anti-heaven miracle medicine still has side effects.
Does not restore the patient's physical strength.
When a patient with a serious illness recovers from a serious illness, his body is still very weak.
So Lin Chuan simply cooked, preparing to give Lao Cao something to make up for it.
Previously, Lin Chuan had a lot of marinated and dried beef jerky and pork jerky.
These are all high-protein foods.
Lin Chuan directly put the food slices on the plate.
These plates and the porcelain pot for burning the pot were also burned by Lin Chuan himself.
"Lao Xu, come and help me."
Lin Chuan poked his head out of the kitchen and shouted.
When Xu Chu heard this, he immediately hurriedly ran over.
Now Xu Chu still thinks that Lin Chuan is referring to himself, and he is very attentive, and Lin Chuan will do whatever he wants.
Lin Chuan not only has a treasure in his hands, but he can also come up with a miracle medicine to eradicate the prime minister's headache and stubborn disease!
This man must be an immortal!
What's more, even if Lin Chuan is not an immortal, then Xu Chu will obey Lin Chuan unconditionally.
After all, Lin Chuan saved the prime minister's life, which was equivalent to saving his own life in Xu Chu's heart.
"What is this, boy?"
As soon as Xu Chu came to the kitchen, he saw the black and red slices of meat on the plate, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Meat."
Lin Chuan replied without raising his head.
Xu Chu walked in slowly, looked at the meat slices on the plate curiously, and asked suspiciously:
"What kind of meat, why is the color so weird?"
This can't be blamed on Xu Chu's loneliness, but there was indeed no cured meat during the Three Kingdoms period.
What's more, Lin Chuan also made some sausages, which originated in Mesopotamia and had not yet been introduced to China at this time.
Smelling the faint fragrance of the cured meat, Xu Chu really couldn't hold back, and secretly twisted a small piece with his hand and put it in his mouth.
"Incense!"
Xu Chu's first thought was incense!
Xu Chu likes to eat meat, and he is not happy without meat, and he has to go out to hunt and get some meat to eat when there is a shortage of food in the army.
But whether it is boiled or baked, it is far less fragrant than Lin Chuan's cooking.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Chu felt a little thirsty, this meat is delicious, but it is too bad.
"You help me get the salt from the cupboard, there's no more outside."
At this moment, Lin Chuan opened his mouth and commanded.
Xu Chu nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and immediately found the cabinet that Lin Chuan said, and took out the top salt packet.
The moment he opened it, he was dumbfounded.
Is this salt?
Xu Chu thought that the salt used by Lin Chuan was a salt block or coarse salt.
But I didn't expect that what Lin Chuan used was actually fine salt!
"Boy! How can you have fine salt here? ”
"Could it be that you were a member of the royal family before you were exiled on a desert island?"
Xu Chu really couldn't sit still, and looked at Lin Chuan excitedly.
In Xu Chu's impression, fine salt is an extremely difficult thing to make, and even the royal family may not be able to use much.
Not to mention ordinary people or officials.
Most of them eat coarse salt and salt.
"What's that? One will say that I am an immortal, and the other will say that I am a royal family, and I can't afford it. ”
Lin Chuan glanced at Xu Chu angrily:
"What's all the fuss, isn't it just fine salt?"
"I have a lot of this, the cabinet you just turned over is all in it, and I guess there are more than a dozen catties left after I finished it last time."
"This ......"
Xu Chu didn't know what to say for a while.
A dozen pounds of fine salt?
Is this really not a joke?
Not to mention a dozen catties of fine salt, it is only a few catties, as long as you take it out and sell it, it will inevitably be sold at a sky-high price!
"Young man, you just said that you made this fine salt yourself?"
Xu Chu swallowed.
Lin Chuan said indifferently:
"Nonsense, otherwise salt can fall from the sky?"
"Luckily, there is a mine on this island, and I found salt in it."
"Otherwise, it's all fresh water all around, and it's not over without salt?"
"This mineral salt is a good thing, much purer than sea salt, rich in minerals, eat some mineral salt, Lao Cao may be able to talk and laugh again."
Salt is so important to people, especially on this desert island, they can only eat coarse grains such as grains given by the system, and there are few things rich in trace elements.
And these things, mineral salt is there.
In addition, if a person does not consume salt for a long time, he will have no strength and his constitution will be weak.
At first, Lin Chuan was worried that he would not be able to get salt on Tamsui Island, but he didn't expect to find a mine cave containing mineral salt.
The appearance of these mineral salts has solved a lot of troubles.
Xu Chu almost couldn't listen to what Lin Chuan said at this time.
Of course, Xu Chu knew what it was, but he had never seen anyone who could process mineral salt into such fine salt.
The process of making fine salt is extremely cumbersome, and many craftsmen need to make it at the same time, and even then there are very few refined salt produced every year.
Moreover, Xu Chu has seen fine salts, and they are simply coarse salt compared to the fine salt made by Lin Chuan.
The salt made by Lin Chuan is like gravel, crystal clear!
Xu Chu looked at Lin Chuan excitedly.
The prime minister is right, this son is full of treasures!
There is such a method of salt making, and it can be completed by oneself, if you go out, you can become a high-ranking official and a famous salt maker with this alone!
And listening to Lin Chuan's meaning, it seems that he will also refine sea salt?
Sea salt is edible and large enough, but there are too many impurities in it, and it is very difficult to remove it.
If this is the case, it is not a dream that everyone in the world can turn salt into an ordinary seasoning!
Xu Chu secretly took this matter to heart.
If you are looking for a boat with your group, you must leave with Lin Chuan!
With Lin Chuan here, there will be no more famine in the world!
"Don't stick here, help me bring the water tank."
Lin Chuan saw that Xu Chu had been in a daze since he came in, and he suddenly said with some displeasure.
Xu Chu came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly moved the water tank outside directly according to Lin Chuan's instructions.
At this time, Cao Cao, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu also came out to breathe.
After years of being cured, Cao Cao felt indescribably comfortable, and although it was surrounded by fog outside, he still felt refreshed.
"Eh, what are you doing, boy?"
Cao Cao saw Lin Chuan Ling Xu Chu walking out of the kitchen carrying a big bag, and the direction seemed to be a water tank, so he couldn't help muttering curiously.
"Old Cao? Are you feeling better? ”
Lin Chuan heard Cao Cao's voice and said hello.
Cao Cao smiled:
"Thanks to the boy, I feel indescribably happy now."
Lin Chuan laughed and said:
"Okay, you've just recovered from a serious illness, and now it's hot, I'll make you something good."
After that, Lin Chuan asked Xu Chu to put all the saltpeter in the bag into the water tank.
Most of these saltpeters were picked up by Lin Chuan in the mine.
As soon as saltpeter and water came into contact, they reacted violently in an instant.
