Chapter 41: Salt Stone

Now that it was determined that this was the salt stone, everyone turned their heads to look at Qian Yan, waiting for her to say what to do next.

Qian Yan thought for a while and said, "Let's go over and see if there is a lot of salt on the stone." ”

After saying that, he led everyone forward, and the stone on this side was probably licked by those goats or other animals, and the surface was already very clean.

Below, closer to the dirt, there is a thin layer of hoarfrost.

She was overjoyed, pointed there, turned her head and said to everyone: "It seems that there is a lot of salt on this stone, and you can see that the salt on this stone is frosty." ”

After saying that, he wiped a little bit of hoarfrost with his fingers, licked it with his tongue, and then quickly spit it out.

It was bitter and astringent, with a salty taste, so you can be sure that it is indeed salt.

She recalled that she could probably remember the refining steps that her father had told her, so she might as well give it a try later.

Tilt Yan moved the stone to the side and looked at the dirt on the ground, although there was no planting here, the leaves were still a little, and they should have been blown by the wind.

She pulled the dead leaves aside to reveal the dirt on the ground, and found that there was a little white light on it, and it seemed that the dirt also contained a lot of salt.

Then he said to everyone, "This is indeed salt stone, shall we get these stones and soil back, or will we just use local materials to refine salt here?" ”

In fact, if you want to save trouble, it is more convenient to boil salt here, but the orchids are still waiting over there, if they don't go back for a long time, I'm afraid they will be in a hurry, thinking that something happened to them.

Li Hao looked at Yang Dashan, he knew that the people in Yang Jiaping were faintly led by Yang Dashan.

"Lord Dashan, if you move these stones and dirt back, not to mention the long distance, you won't be able to get much back and forth, and there is still a danger of being discovered.

This forest is relatively hidden, so it's more convenient for us to do anything here, so let's refine it here. ”

As the son of the General's Mansion, he knows the importance of salt, which is related to people's livelihood, and it is not a trivial matter.

He really didn't expect that this Xue girl was not very old, she was so capable, not only can martial arts but also refine salt, such a talent is rare among men.

Yang Dashan heard this, and muttered for a while, this is not like the outside, you can bring the frame over, although they brought the donkey over, at that time, they were afraid that if someone came, the donkey suddenly barked, and someone would find those villagers who were left.

The second is also to think about using donkeys to carry baskets and get more back, but looking at the big stones and some damp soil on the ground, those two baskets don't solve anything at all, they thought too lightly before.

After thinking about it, he said: "There are still carts and salutes over there, no one can watch them, it's better like this, let's divide into two wheels to refine salt here, so that we can keep doing it, let's stay here for two days, we should be able to get a lot."

I heard Miss Xue say that boiling salt is not a one-time effort, we men work harder, half of us are here, half of us go back there to rest, and then come over to change, so that when it is a turn, there is no need to stop here, and the safety over there is also guaranteed. ”

Qian Yan and Li Hao's eyes lit up, this is a solution, the two sides are not very far away, it's just that the mountain road is not easy to walk.

If several men take turns walking back and forth, there is not much danger on the road, not to mention that they can separate people who have kung fu on their bodies.

And women can actually come over to help, just burn the fire and boil salt and filter something, and the women do it more finely.

In fact, if they couldn't let go of those two precious carts, they would have moved here to camp directly.

Qian Yan sighed in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that she couldn't expose the ugly space, it wouldn't be a matter of minutes when the board car was closed.

Those two cars are indeed very precious to the poor people, and it is definitely not possible to let them put down those two cars, and this is the only way.

After it was decided, Yang Dawang, Yang Dashan, and Wang Gan went back first, brought the pot, hammer and shovel, and the rest of the people began to collect stones.

First of all, the stones with hoarfrost on them are gathered together, the stones are large and small, the stones that have just been moved away are about sixty or seventy centimeters in diameter, and if you really want to put this stone directly in the pot, you can't put it, you have to break it.

This is also the reason why they are going to refine directly here, if they get it back, they really can't get a few pieces in that basket, and the basket is not so strong after all, if it is directly loaded with so many large stones, maybe it will directly fall through the bottom of the frame.

And those dirt is not easy to say, the gap in the basket is not small, directly loaded with soil, all the way to the place is estimated to be almost sprinkled, so the best way is to boil salt directly here.

However, there is another concern here, and that is the beast.

It's okay outside, as long as a few men are left, it's not a big problem, next to the roadside relatively close, there are no footprints of big beasts, and Ugly Chou also said that the vicinity is not the territory of big beasts, only small animals such as pheasants and hares.

It's different here, Ugly said that there were wild boars and leopards here, but fortunately the wolf didn't find out.

Although the leopard is very good at sneak attack, and its movements are flexible, but fortunately it is alone, it is estimated that there are so many of them, and then they have been boiling salt and lighting a fire all the time, so they should not dare to come, and there is no big problem.

And the wild boar is different, it doesn't care about these, if there are a few big wild boars, everyone may not be able to bear it.

It's okay that the ugly ugly is here, they can be killed by directly entering the space, and then they can't use the coercion of the ancient divine beast to shock it, and then they can find a way to solve the wild boar.

If the ugly and ugly and she are not there, relying on them alone, one end and two ends are fine, but it's hard to say more......
