Chapter 025: Salt Witchcraft?
Jiang Heng collected five or six hundred catties of salty soil, and five people helped to carry it back with the help of the Black Feather Chief Shi Song and other five people, he didn't take it at all, he barely walked by himself with his physique, if he carried a hundred catties of things on his back, it would be his life.
Leaving in the morning, a group of people came back as soon as the sun was overhead, which made the tribesmen a little curious.
"Oh my God, look, the patriarch has dug up so much salt and come back, which is a lot more than ever."
"Yes, yes, how can there be so many, is it the favor of the sacred cow?"
When the tribesmen saw that the totem warriors had resisted so many bags and returned, they thought they were full of salt and cheered excitedly.
"This is not salt, but soil, the soil that Jiang Heng asked us to dig out!"
Shi Song snorted coldly.
"Dirt? What are you doing with so much soil? ”
A clansman asked puzzled.
"Because Jiang Heng said that he could turn this soil into salt, and he was ashamed to bet with me, saying that if he lost, he would be my slave, do you think it's ridiculous?"
Shi Song laughed.
Jiang Heng shook his head helplessly when he saw him like this, the reason why he said this was that he didn't want Shi Song to take people to pick salt under the stone wall, now the tribe is already short of manpower, if it is lost because of this unnecessary thing, it is really hopeless.
But this guy has been carried away by hatred and just wants to mock him, leaving no room for himself.
"What Jiang Heng said?"
"Maybe it's really possible, after all, Jiang Heng has invented konjac tofu!"
"Yes, the fertilizer made by Jiang Heng has also made the growth of white vine fruit and heart fruit better!"
Unlike Shi Song's imagination, the first reaction of most primitive people when they heard this was to believe Jiang Heng, after all, the konjac tofu that Jiang Heng handed over to them to make was really successful.
The effect of the fertilizer made is very good, which makes most of the people in the Shi tribe have a very good impression of him, even if it is a bit contrary to common sense to turn soil into salt, but if this person is Jiang Heng, maybe it can really be?
"Hmph, I'd like to see how you lie!"
Shi Song snorted coldly, he was very dissatisfied with the clansmen, these people were all blinded by Jiang Heng, an outsider. That's how the spy deceived them last time.
"Help me put all this rock and soil at the door, and then trouble everyone to get the biggest stone basin in the tribe."
Jiang Heng asked everyone to put the rock and soil in front of their wooden house, and then said.
"Go and bring that big stone basin."
Black Feather nodded and motioned for the two totem warriors to move.
asked people to move the stone basin, Jiang Heng asked others to build a simple stove, and used the stone basin as a cauldron for a while.
"Please bring your own wooden basin to me for use."
Jiang Heng looked at the tribe's clansmen again and said kindly.
"No problem, I'll go back and get it for you!"
"I have two in my family, and I'll bring them to you."
The clansmen were very enthusiastic about Jiang Heng's request, and Jiang Heng had only been here for four days, but these days, all kinds of magical operations had won the trust of the clansmen.
After waiting for the basin to be brought, Jiang Heng began his own operation.
He first poured the salt clay into several pots, and then poured in water and stirred it constantly, so that all the salt was integrated into the water.
Then let the water stand and settle, take the supernatant and pour it into a large stone basin and boil over fire.
"Are you making soup or salt? If you can't figure it out, just admit it, we won't laugh at you. ”
Shi Song didn't understand Jiang Heng's operation at all, thinking that he was playing tricks like this.
"Jiang Heng, do you really know how to make salt? You must know that once the salt dissolves in the water, it will dissipate, and the salt is afraid of water, so how can it be possible to get salt from the water? ”
Chief Black Feather also asked curiously, he thought Jiang Heng could have made a mistake.
Other primitive people were also a little confused, because they all knew that salt was afraid of water, and once it fell into the water, it would disappear, Jiang Heng could really make salt like this?
"Of course, you can just watch."
Jiang Heng didn't explain, but smiled mysteriously. Explaining this scientific problem to these primitive people is undoubtedly a good thing to do, so let's wait for the results to come out.
The battle for making salt was very large, and it didn't take long to attract Wu Ye, but he didn't speak, but watched quietly.
As time passed, the water was finally about to evaporate, and with Jiang Heng's continuous stirring, some people were surprised to find that white particles appeared on the edge of the basin.
"Look, it's salt, it's really salt!"
"Jiang Heng really made the salt, this is amazing."
"It's amazing, is this witchcraft, he really conjured salt out of the water!"
The clansmen looked shocked at the salt gradually precipitated in the basin, some were dumbfounded, and some couldn't help but rub their eyes.
This scene seemed to be a miracle for these primitive people, and it shocked them no less than Jiang Heng suddenly slapped the Tyrannosaurus Rex to death.
"It can't be!"
Shi Song's jaw was shocked, he was waiting for the water to boil dry Jiang Heng didn't make salt to slap his face, who knew that salt really appeared when it was burned.
Immediately he collapsed, rubbed a handful of salt in the basin with his hand and put it in his mouth, and when the familiar salty taste appeared, he knew that he had lost, and sat on the ground with a face full of disbelief.
"Is it really salt?"
Hei Yu also felt a little incredible, tasted it curiously, and then nodded with great certainty: "It's salt, it's really salt." ”
"Of course it's salt, I'm not going to lie."
Jiang Heng said with a smile, he asked people to put the fire out, and used the residual temperature to evaporate the water, and after another half an hour, white salt appeared in the basin, with fine particles, without any impurities, only a little yellowing.
The weight is at least more than ten catties, and this is only fifty catties of salt soil, and all the salt in the salt soil is at least one hundred catties.
"I have lost, and from this day on I will be your slave, at your beckon."
Looking at the snow-white salt stone pine in the basin, he had nothing to say, but he was also a bright and upright person, kneeling on one knee, giving away his beast tooth pendant, and willing to become Jiang Heng's slave.
The beast tooth pendant is the glory of every totem warrior, every time they kill a prey they will take a beast tooth, Shi Song's beast tooth pendant has more than ten dinosaur teeth on it, representing that he has killed ten dinosaurs alone in the past.
"You can take it back, if you really don't want to help me do three things.
I'm not betting to prove how good I am, but I don't want you to take the warriors to the bottom of the cliff to pick salt, because it's much safer.
But I'm afraid that you won't listen to me, so I made this decision, and I hope you don't care.
Because I also rely on the Stone Tribe to survive now, I don't want you precious totemic warriors to take those unnecessary risks. ”
Jiang Heng said something high-sounding with a kind face, but in fact, he was a little ashamed in his heart, because he had the idea of showing off his prestige when he bet with Shi Song.
But the effect of these words was undoubtedly very good, not only resonated with the clansmen, but also moved several totemic warriors who followed Shi Song, and they all bowed their heads in shame.
Thinking that he was narrow-minded compared to Jiang Heng, he was thinking about his own safety, but he thought that he was making a fool of himself, it was really better than a pig and a dog.
