Early the next morning, Chen Hao went to Shi Sanjia again.

"Uncle Shi, when are you going to collect medicine again?" Chen Hao saw Shi San and asked

Shi San and Ah Yue are processing medicinal herbs, some need to be sun-dried, some need to separate the rhizomes and leaves, and some medicinal herbs need to be sliced and fumigated.

These rough jobs, which are done well and then sold, can earn some additional income. Compared with going out to collect medicine, this kind of live earning salt is not a lot, and it is relatively safe and easy. Therefore, every time Ah Yue's uncle and nephew come back from collecting medicine, they will delay for a few days before going out.

Looking at some of the herbs that had not yet been processed, Shi San said, "It will take another day tomorrow, and we will not go out the day after tomorrow." Teacher Chen, is there something wrong?"

"I'd like to go with you and come back from picking some salt vegetables outside. Chen Hao said.

After pondering last night, the method of drying sea salt and making well salt is not feasible. Chen Hao thought of the salt-related local salt-related vegetables here, and decided to try to extract salt from salt-related vegetables. So I came to find Shi San today, and wanted to go to the wetland with him to get some salt vegetables back.

"You want salted vegetables? This thing is also sold in the vegetable market, and it is better than the wild ones we pick outside. Shi San said: "I also have some at home, you can see if you have enough, take some." ”

Chen Hao thought about doing this salt refining experiment, and he didn't know how much salt vegetables would be used, so he said: "I'd better go to the vegetable market to buy some, where is the vegetable market?"

"There are several vegetable farms in the city, and there is one outside Tsing Yi Lane. Ah Yue, you take Teacher Chen to recognize the way. ”

When the two came to the vegetable market, Chen Hao saw a vendor specializing in selling salt vegetables at a glance. The large baskets in front of him were all salted vegetables, and they looked much fatter and more tender than those picked in the field.

In comparison, the price of salt vegetables is cheaper than rice but more expensive than animal meat.

Carrying a large bundle of salted vegetables, Chen Hao thought that it was not convenient to do experiments in the inn, so he simply went to Shi San's house.

So he said to Ah Yue: "Ah Yue, I want to borrow your kitchen." ”

"Brother Hao, you can use it as you like. "Ah Yue has some admiration for Chen Hao, and always feels that he is a person from the heavenly realm, which is different. On the other hand, Chen Hao's easy-going also made him happy to approach.

Chen Hao asked Ah Yue to lead the way, and went to the cloth to buy a few feet of fine white cloth, and the grocery store bought a few jars.

There are no other conditions, so let's try the easiest way for the time being.

Returning to Shi San's small courtyard, Chen Hao greeted Shi San again, leaving Ah Yue to continue to process medicinal materials with Shi San in the courtyard, and he went to the kitchen to get busy.

He didn't know if this would be successful or not, and he didn't think about avoiding Shi San's uncle and nephew.

He first found a stick, and in the thickest jar, he pounded the salt cabbage into a paste. With the body of a qi practitioner, it is relatively easy to do this job.

The pounded salted vegetables still look a little coarse. In this case, all the water-soluble ingredients in the salted vegetables may not be able to dissolve into the water.

Chen Hao had an idea and remembered a spell that seemed to be useful for this situation.

When practicing, some materials need to be powdered, such as the air-entraining stone powder used to depict the magic circle, and of course, there are other more advanced materials, which will need to be crushed.

Therefore, most refiners will learn a technique called "dissociation", which can directly separate materials into powder. When performing dissociation, it also takes different amounts of time depending on the grade and robustness of the material, and it is necessary to maintain a fixed position. Therefore, this spell is almost exclusively used for refining weapons, because it is not suitable for combat.

Of course, if the material is too advanced, then the caster's own cultivation needs to be very high.

When Chen Hao was learning the refining weapon, he had also learned this technique, but he didn't expect to use it in this situation.

Salt cabbage is not a high-grade material, nor is it very strong, so Chen Hao can completely deal with it.

It only took two or three breaths for the originally rough salted vegetable paste in the jar to turn into a fine and uniform vegetable paste that could not be finer under the rotation and squeeze of the aura.

Chen Hao poured the vegetable pulp into a larger jar, filled it with water, stirred for a while, and waited for a while.

How long does it take for the inorganic salt in the salt dish to dissolve all in the water, Chen Hao is not very clear.

Estimates are less reliable. Chen Hao rinsed his mouth with water, then took some light green salted vegetable solution with a water scoop, took a fine white cloth and filtered the solution back into the large water jar, and then used all his strength to squeeze out a little residue in the white cloth, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

"And a little bit salty. ”

The salty taste in this residue is unpleasant, but Chen Hao's soul is strong and his perception is keen, as long as he pays special attention to the sensations of the senses, he can distinguish subtle taste differences!

Then Chen Hao stirred, waited, tasted, and repeated it three times before he couldn't feel the saltiness in the residue at all.

He strained all the salted vegetable solution in the big jar with a fine white cloth. Then put the filtered water into the cauldron of Ah Yue's house, and began to make a fire to boil salt.

"Brother Hao, I'll help you light the fire. Ah Yue saw what Chen Hao was cooking in the pot, so he didn't ask, he just ran over to help.

Chen Hao was really not very skilled in burning fire, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Brother Hao, do you want to do alchemy?" Ah Yue added firewood to the big stove, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chen Hao laughed: "Do you think salt vegetables can be used for alchemy?"

"I don't know. ”

When the water in the pot gradually dried up, Chen Hao asked Ah Yue to reduce the heat and boil slowly. At this time, some white marks have begun to appear in the pot, but I don't know if it is a water mark or a salt that has begun to crystallize.

Until lunchtime, Chen Hao's salt had not yet been cooked. So he took out some bread and ate it with Ah Yue and Shi San.

At this time, Shi San couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Chen, what are you cooking?"

"Boil salt. Chen Hao didn't hide it, and replied while tearing the dry and hard dough.

Shi San's eyes widened suddenly: "Can this be done?"

"Maybe. Chen Hao said.

"You don't need a spell to get salt out of these things?" Shi San couldn't believe it.

This is the disadvantage of the white horse cave being too narrow, and everyone's thinking has fallen into a misunderstanding, and the things that are more difficult should be solved with magic.

It has to be said that spells do solve most of their problems, so they ignore other methods.

"It can't be said that the spell is completely useless. Chen Hao said: "It's a combination of magic and local methods." ”

Shi San's eyes were full of admiration, and he was almost the same as Ah Yue: "Teacher Chen, you are worthy of being a person from the heavenly realm." If you can do that, you'll be the richest man in Overwatch!"

Whether it will succeed or not, we have to wait until the water is almost burned to know.
