Chapter 23 (I) Do not go a day without salt

"Well, so that we can bring back a lot of salt spring water, and there will be no shortage of salt in the near future!" Thinking of using the cart he made to transport it back, Ma Li knew that he would be able to bring back enough salt spring water this time.

It is good to have a means of transportation, which can transport materials to another place, which is a convenient and fast activity to realize the spatial location change of people and things.

In the past, Grandpa carried a bucket of salt spring water back alone enough for their family to spend nearly a month, but now if you use a cart to transport it, it is at least ten times more than Grandpa carrying it alone.

The cart made by Ma Li is sturdy and big enough!

Even if there are a lot of fish and shrimp that need to be pickled, it can be used for ten days and a half months.

If you do a good job in trolley transportation, you can save natural resources, human resources and energy, and at the same time, you can save costs.

It may seem like a big deal, but at least a small cart can bring real benefits to the home.

"Okay! In that case, let's make a lunch meal quickly, and we don't need to make a fire in the stove, but just use the stove you made to cook, and see if it's practical! Grandpa said with a smile on his face.

Grandpa is still an old man, no matter how good he says, it's useless, it's better to look at the actual effect.

The trolley simply pushes a few things, and you can't fully see the effect of filling things.

Let's take a look at the effect of cooking on the stove now.

The stove made by Ma Li was larger than the one sold in the ordinary bazaar, and could hold more firewood and burn more vigorously.

"Okay, then grandpa, you and my little sister can try my skills of stir-frying on the stove!" Ma Li thought about it for a while, and there was nothing urgent needed for the time being.

When you can upgrade your intermediate skills, you might as well upgrade your cooking skills to intermediate skills.

When Uncle Wei Ze held a wedding banquet, he showed his hand.

You must know that Uncle Wei Ze holds a wedding banquet that day, and usually his family and the bride's relatives, friends or fellow villagers will have a dinner together during the wedding.

It is conceivable that more than 200 people get together and have no topic to talk about.

Once the food is cooked well, and the chef in the nearby Qili Eight Village has a stroke and is unable to cook, he will not be able to listen to Ma Li one by one.

In this way, not only the whole village knows that Ma Li is good at cooking, but even the relatives and friends of Uncle Wei Ze and his bride's family know that Ma Li cooks well.

With a little more publicity, can you still find Ma Li for happy events in the nearby seven miles and eight villages?

What if the junior culinary skills could be praised by the villagers and reach the pinnacle of the skills of a village-level chef?

That intermediate skill is at least comparable to the craftsmanship of the top chefs in the township.

Grandpa and Ma Xiaomei were eating lunch and felt that this meal was really rich.

There are a lot of fish and shrimp, and although these fish and shrimp have just died, they have no taste, and they are no different from fresh.

In particular, Ma Li made a bowl of sauerkraut fish with wild vegetables pickled by Grandpa, which made Grandpa and Ma Xiaomei full of praise, and both of them ate an extra bowl of rice with a great appetite.

"Little sister, you eat more shrimp, shrimp has no fish bones, it is easy to eat some!" Ma Li was still a little worried that Ma Xiaomei would easily get stuck in fish bones when she ate fish.

Don't say that children are easy to get stuck in fish bones, even cats will get stuck in fish bones, not imagine that cats eat fish is no problem.

Theoretically, a domestic cat's small, thin, flat, barbed tongue can "comb" fish meat from large bones.

However, if you don't have sensitive lips and tongue, and you eat quickly, you may increase your eating speed again if you are stimulated or affected.

So!

Cats are easy to swallow some foreign objects in their daily life, or get stuck in fish bones when eating fish.

This is actually a phenomenon of esophageal infarction, which refers to a problem caused by food or other foreign bodies in the esophagus, which is a condition that cats are more likely to appear in their daily lives.

"Brother, shall I go to the mountains with you later?" Ma Xiaomei said suddenly.

Ma Xiaomei had heard Grandpa say that he would take her to the mountains to play, and the little girl felt very happy.

But I still have to confirm with Ma Li, so as not to be happy in vain.

"Well, Grandpa said that it is at the edge of the mountain, you don't need to go too far into the mountain, there is a spring there, but this spring is not sweet, but bitter!" Ma Li nodded, when he was eating just now, Grandpa had already mentioned that he would go to the mountain to get some salt spring water after lunch today.

Ma Li and Ma Xiaomei reminded me first.

Lest the little girl see the clear and transparent spring water and have to drink it, and then it will not taste good, so she will not cry!

First of all, instill in her the concept that not all spring water is sweet.

There are also bitter ones.

One cannot live without salt for a day, and most of the salt comes from the endless sea, which should be free of charge.

But in reality, those in power have learned how to use salt as a tool for profiteering.

For generations, there have been controls on salt, on the one hand, to let the common people have salt to eat, and on the other hand, it is also a kind of windfall tax, which should be beneficial to both the government and the people.

But in the mountains, it's different, there is no money in the first place, and you have to spend money to buy salt to eat, so the price is not something that people in the mountains can do.

Fortunately, there are miraculous species such as salt spring water in the mountains, which can provide free salt for the villagers of the mountains.

"Ah! The spring water in the mountains is not sweet, but bitter, so what else do we want to do there? Since it is not delicious, don't we go for nothing!" Ma Xiaomei was surprised in her heart, and she really couldn't figure out what was delicious about this salt spring water.

Ma Xiaomei didn't know the purpose of going to the salt spring water, the little girl just knew that she would take her to the mountains to play.

Now I know that the spring water is not sweet, but also bitter!

I really can't figure out what these adults think.

"Hey, little fool, though it's a bitter spring, it's very useful to us, because it can be used to make salt, you see?" said Ma Li jokingly.

Tasteless, salty and tasteless, which means that the amount of salt used should be appropriate in order to play its unique function.

Salt is a thing that I use every time I eat.

But Ma Xiaomei is not too clear!

Occasionally, Grandpa put more salt, and it was too salty to explain it.

Generally speaking, it's really not too understandable.

Salt provides a large amount of sodium, which plays a number of vital roles for the human body.

It promotes the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates, the propagation of nerve impulses, and muscle contraction, regulates hormone and cellular oxygen consumption, controls urine output, thirst, and produces fluids (blood, saliva, tears, sweat, gastric juice, and bile).

Salt is also very important for the production of stomach acid.
