Chapter 123: The Real Thing

After hearing this, Ripple was not angry, and said bluntly:

"I am tasked with the task given by the Beast God, and I came to the Mermaid Clan because I have better salt-making skills, and the salt you make now is still too coarse, and the astringency in it is too heavy.

Besides, I also want to be lazy, and I want to gather all the beasts through your merfolk to bring me the specialties and newly discovered things of each tribe at the big gathering of next year's harvest season, so that I can identify them one by one. ”

The amount of information in Ripple's sentence was too great, and the carp and the witch glanced at each other, and their expressions were much more solemn, especially the method of making more refined sea salt.

"Meng, you take some and show them to the carp patriarch."

Nodding violently, he took out a small animal skin bag from the large animal skin package on the ground, and carefully dug out some with a small wooden spoon.

The carp patriarch walked over directly, let Meng pour the small spoonful of delicate and white sea salt into his hand, crushed it with his hands, and then dipped some into his mouth, and his brown eyes lit up, confirming that it was salt and there was no bitter taste.

Then, like a fierce man, he carefully poured the salt in his palm into a white shell and let Wu also take a look, Wu nodded after trying it, although he was not as excited as the carp, but his purple eyes were also shining.

"Divine Messenger, will this method of making salt really teach us?"

"Of course, with this refined sea salt, I hope that the previous coarse sea salt can lower some exchange standards, not all tribes in the Beast World Continent can harvest enough every year, even if you mermaid clan will encounter natural enemies and dangers in the sea."

Ripple said on a case-by-case basis.

"We know what the oracle said, five years ago, our merfolk were hit by a storm at sea, which flooded the island where we were stationed, and we couldn't even make sea salt that year."

The patriarch carp sighed with emotion, that year was indeed dangerous, after entering the rainy season, the sea was not very peaceful, and schools of various fish migrated.

He and Wu were very vigilant, and found that the situation was not right, so they directly abandoned the island and led their clansmen into the reef group in the deep sea in advance, even so, two of their clansmen were lost, and they didn't know where they were swept away, and they have not been found back yet.

"Indeed, it is not easy for all races to survive, and the beast god knows the difficulties of the orcs, so he sent me."

Ripple said unashamedly.

"Yes! The envoy's request is reasonable, and we will do it, and we are lucky to have the protection of the beast god. ”

Patriarch Carp immediately said.

Then the topic turned to salt making, Ripple listened to the patriarch said that the method of making sea salt is indeed simple and crude, that is, the sea water is gathered, and after a hot season, it will naturally get coarse sea salt, as for any precipitation, filtration, and secondary distillation, none of these are there.

After hearing this, Ripple felt that there was still grinding, but there was the refined sea salt she took out, and the patriarch and Wu trusted her very much, and the small bag of salt in the animal skin was made out of half a bag of coarse sea salt.

After thinking about it, Ripple said to the carp patriarch:

"Now it's about to enter the cold season, it's not suitable for drying salt, but you can take some of the salt you have dried, let Meng show you the method of secondary processing, as for the method of making salt from scratch, I will tell you separately, you also need to make some corresponding utensils."

Both the carp and the witch listened very carefully, nodding frequently, and asking more carefully about what they didn't understand, it was related to the future status of the entire mermaid clan, they were very serious and cautious, and they didn't want to make a little mistake.

"As for the distillation equipment, you can make your own set out of stone, and I will give you the drawing."

Wu immediately nodded, his mouth opened and closed, and after a while, Wei Lan walked over with a scroll of animal skins and respectfully handed the scroll to Ripple.

Wu gave a pen-like thing, as well as a small shell of cuttlefish juice, which seemed to have been processed and did not taste so bad.

Ripples saw that they couldn't wait, and they didn't procrastinate, and unfolded the animal skin roll, and began to draw, and she also asked Wu specifically about the size ratio.

At this point, she felt that the beast world would have to go a long way to develop, but the standards of each tribe in this area of weights and measures were different.

Tuanzi saw that the ripples were busy, he was not idle, ran over to join in the fun, and found that his mother beast would dip in black water juice every time, and then draw something on the animal skin, he also stretched out his little paws, secretly dipped a little black ink, and happily imprinted his little paws on the animal skin roll.

After the ripples were finished, he saw the masterpiece of the danzi, and he was not angry, but just clicked his head and said:

"That's my signature."

Later, whenever he wrote or painted something, Danzi was very active in imprinting his paws, and it was not until he became an adult and sensible that he stopped this childish behavior.

However, the animal skin scroll that had printed his small paw prints eventually became the precious treasures of the beast world, or the kind that could not be begged for, but it was the black history of the danzi, every time he was mentioned, he blushed a little, it was really too young at that time, he didn't know the importance of the things painted by the mother beast, and those things promoted the development of the beast world.

Back to the present, Ripple handed over the painted animal skin scroll to Wu, and temporarily left Meng on the island, while she left the island with Duhe Tuanzi, but before leaving, she told the patriarch very bluntly that she liked pearls of various colors and wanted to make some beads as decorations.

When the group returned to the land, Ripples harvested a bag of animal skin with pearls of different sizes and colors, these inedible things are not precious in the eyes of the mermaid, and they can be obtained at any time, so they are extremely generous.

In addition, there was a bag of dried fish and sea plants of all kinds, which were dried during the hot and good seasons this year, and were given to the oracle for her to taste.

Tuanzi wrinkled his nose with some disgust, and got back into Ripple's arms, but he liked these sea fish very much, and they were very delicious when he looked at them.

"Divine Messenger, the cold season is about to begin, are we going to spend the cold season in the mermaid clan?"

"It's very likely that next year's gathering in the harvest season will be held here, and I'm too lazy to run, but I don't want to go to the island of the mermaid clan, the wind and waves are too big for the group to grow, he still has to grow on land, let's find a place to live near here and spend the cold season here."

Du nodded in agreement.

"Find a place on high ground, the first ten days of the cold season, the weather will be clear, this is the last time for the orcs to prepare, we need to store more firewood."

The original body is afraid of the cold, and a lot of firewood must be stored in the cold season every year, although the ripples are not afraid of the cold, but there are dumplings, and there is only this guy who wants to hibernate, and he should prepare some.

"Just look around the makeshift cave where we live now."

"Yes!"

Du was now very accustomed to completing the various tasks assigned by the ripples, so he turned into a serpentine and went into the woods, and by the afternoon of the next day, he brought good news.
