Chapter 142: A lot of firewood is needed
There are many ways to turn seawater into drinkable water, but the conditions here are limited and it is not that simple.
But it's not impossible.
Zhu Ruru plans to use the distillation method.
It's a bit of a hassle, but it's not too complicated. All it takes is a few simple tools to do it.
Distillation is mainly about heating seawater to turn it into steam, and then condensing it......
This process requires a lot of wood.
Collecting firewood is a very hard job, and Zhu Ruru has no intention of doing it alone with her family.
There are still many people who owe her money, just so that they can work to pay off their debts.
Zhu Ruru directly opened a load of wood that can be deducted from the price of 20 yuan, and in addition, you can also send two white flour steamed buns for each meal.
When most of the people who owed her money heard this, they came running over and said that they were willing to do the work.
A load of firewood costs 20 yuan, and it is not surprising that they should be able to get more than a dozen yuan a day, and they can also deduct two or three hundred yuan.
In addition, there are two white flour steamed buns for each meal, which is a very generous reward, and of course they are willing to do it.
"Ruru girl, can we do this job?"
There were some people who didn't owe Zhu Ruru money, and they were also very moved when they learned about it, and they came over to ask her.
Zhu Ruru glanced at them and nodded, "Yes, the price for you is the same, twenty wen a load of firewood, but you need to give me at least ten loads a day to give you white flour steamed buns." ”
"Yes, thank you for being girl."
When they heard this, they were very happy.
It's much better than going to the beach to pick up fish, shrimp and seashells to sell! Even if you don't give white flour steamed buns, it's cost-effective.
In the next few days, Zhu Ruru didn't go anywhere, waiting at home for the villagers to bring firewood.
It wasn't until the open space outside the wall was almost filled that Zhu Ruru asked everyone to stop.
"Qinglan, what do you want so much firewood for?"
Ji Chunxiang came to Tang Qinglan for something, and was shocked by the pile of firewood piled up outside her house.
In fact, Zhu Ruru has been buying a large amount of firewood in the past few days, and Ji Chunxiang is also aware of it. The village is so big, and there is such a big movement, how can their family not know about it.
Ji Chunxiang is really puzzled, what is his family doing with so much firewood?
If it's just used for cooking and cooking, I'm afraid it won't be used up for a few years!
Tang Qinglan said: "If my family wants to get it, she said that it is used to boil seawater, saying that it can turn seawater into drinkable water...... I don't know exactly how to do it. ”
Tang Qinglan was actually very puzzled about this matter, even after listening to Zhu Ruru's explanation, she still didn't understand anything.
However, she trusts her family Ruru very much, and what her family Ruru wants to do, even if she can't figure it out, there will be no objection.
Ji Chunxiang listened to Tang Qinglan's answer, and was also full of doubts.
"Seawater can be boiled and turned into drinkable water? This, this can't be, right? ”
It is said that when she first came to Hai'an Town to settle down, she tried it, and after burning it with fire, the sea water was still salty!
Zhu Ruru, who was standing not far away, interjected with a smile: "It is definitely not possible to burn it directly, I will use tools to get some devices, and you will know when you come and see." ”
When Ji Chunxiang heard this, she was soon full of expectations.
She also trusts Zhu Ruru very much.
Along the way, Zhu Ruru has brought her too many surprises. She said that she could turn seawater into drinkable water, and Ji Chunxiang did not doubt it at all.
Of course, there must be curiosity.
……
After getting the device, Zhu Ruru began to boil seawater. For the first time, she did not directly introduce the water into the pool, but into the tank.
In one night, a whole tank of water was filtered.
In the morning, Tang Qinglan and Feng Bo came to the backyard for the first time, and they were very surprised when they saw the tank of clear water.
"This water was still muddy yesterday, but today it has become so clear, I'm afraid it can really be drunk!" Feng Bo exclaimed.
Tang Qinglan directly took a wooden bowl and scooped it inside.
After a slight hesitation, he brought it to his lips and tasted it.
"How's that, can you drink it?" Feng Bo on the side couldn't wait to ask.
Tang Qinglan didn't reply to him immediately, but took two more sips before raising her head.
"I can drink it, it's not salty at all, and it seems to taste pretty good!"
Tang Qinglan's eyes were full of surprise.
Her family is so amazing, this firewood can really turn seawater into drinking water!
When Feng Boyan heard this, he also took a wooden bowl over and scooped a bowl, and when he tasted it, he was also amazed.
Zhu Ruru looked at the two people in the courtyard who were amazed, her eyes narrowed, she was not surprised at all, but she was still happy.
The fact that the water is drinkable shows that she has succeeded.
After a few more days of boiling seawater, the pool will be full.
……
Zhu Ruru was able to turn seawater into drinkable water, and within a few days, the news spread throughout several nearby villages.
Everyone came to visit.
Zhu Ruru didn't hide it, and generously let them in.
It's not that hard to figure out this method, and it's a good thing that they can really learn it.
There are only two springs in the vicinity that can be drunk, and it is very difficult to get water, but if they can use this method, it can reduce a lot of water stress.
After Meng Jianye learned about this, he also came over to visit, and after reading it, he specially asked Zhu Ruru for advice.
After figuring out the principle and how to get those devices, within two days, he also found someone to get it up.
After successfully purifying the seawater, Meng Jianye came to the door to thank Zhu Ruru.
"Our family has also succeeded in turning seawater into drinkable water, Ruru girl, your method is really amazing!"
"It's good if it works." Zhu Ruru smiled.
"By the way, Miss Ruru, the person contacted by my third brother-in-law has already transported the grass seeds, and it should be there in a day or two." Meng Jianye chatted with Zhu Ruru about grass seeds.
Zhu Ruru was very happy to hear this, as soon as the grass seeds arrived, they could plant pasture.
The sheep at home consume a lot of grass, and these days, for the rations of those sheep, Feng Bo even stopped the barbecue business.
Zhu Ruru Tang Qinglan's mother and daughter, as well as Meng Huaiyan, as soon as they are free, they will also go to the mountains to cut grass.
The point is that fresh and lush grass is not easy to find in the mountains now, and sometimes it takes a while to cut a basket full.
Now it's okay to say that there are fewer sheep, and when there are more lambs, the demand will be greater.
If you can grow a lot of pasture and drive the sheep directly, it will be much easier.
Two days later, the grass seed arrived, and a cart full of them.
"Ruru girl, there are more than 30 kinds of these grass seeds, because I don't know which ones are suitable for us to grow here, so there are not many of them, only a sack."
"Is this enough, if it's not enough, I'll let my third brother-in-law contact them."
Meng Jianye looked at the pile of unloaded grass seeds and spoke to Zhu Ruru.
Zhu Ruru said: "For the time being, it should be enough, let's try to see which ones can be planted, and which ones can grow fast and well, and then we can be targeted." ”
Meng Jianye smiled and nodded: "That's what I mean." ”
