The linen cloth he found was folded in two layers and placed on an empty bucket. Xiao Han personally pressed the linen cloth to prevent it from falling into the bucket, and then shouted to Xiaodong: "Okay, stop disturbing it! Pour the bucket in!"
Xiaodong has been messing around for a long time now, and he already feels like his arms are about to break! Hearing Xiao Han say that there was no need to stir it anymore, tears almost came down. He quickly picked up the bucket of unknown liquid with a general and carefully poured it into the empty bucket in front of Xiao Han.
The turbid water was initially filtered by the linen cloth, and many things were blocked by the linen cloth. Open the cloth and look at the liquid in the bucket. Not bad, it's a little clearer than before.
"Not yet, come again!" Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, then took a new piece of linen cloth and continued to cover a new bucket.
This time, Xiao Lizi no longer stood alone, but also came over to help Xiao Han hold the filter cloth.
The water in the bucket was filtered three times in total. Only when impurities were no longer visible on the surface of the linen did Xiao Han stop.
He took the charcoal that Uncle Fool had found and found a slightly smaller bucket. Let the lunzi tree poke out the bottom of the barrel, lay a layer of linen cloth on it, and fill it with charcoal.
Finally, he rinsed it back and forth with clean water several times until all the water came out from the bottom of the bucket. Then Xiao Han poured the water that he had just poured several times into the charcoal bucket bit by bit.
Because the charcoal was pressed very hard, the water filtered out of the small bucket was very slow. Xiao Han patiently poured water into it little by little, and it took him a stick of incense to completely filter the bucket of water. At this time, the water in the bucket was completely clear!
"Well, it tastes right now!" After dipping it in some water and tasting it, Xiao Han sighed secretly. Not bad, very pure salt water! You can no longer taste the messy smell inside!
After the filtration process is completed, the next step is crystallization. In order to be faster, Xiao Han decided to use boiled ones directly! Anyway, the ready-made big pot is useless if you don’t use it!
He ordered his family to light a fire in the big pot for making tea, and it was filled with firewood.
A bucket of water was poured into the pot and it started rolling in a moment. The steam was so high that no one could be seen.
Xiao Lizi squatted aside and watched Xiao Han boil water without asking any questions, just watching.
Anyone who has used this kind of open-air stove pot knows that it cooks things very quickly! Coupled with the fact that Uncle Fool and the others kept passing wood inside, the half bucket of water poured in almost disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Cease fire!" When he saw that there was only a small amount of water left in the pot, Xiao Han, who had been paying attention to the fire, immediately shouted stop!
"Hurry and pull out the wood!" Uncle Lengzi and the others did not dare to hesitate, and immediately took out the wood from under the stove as soon as they heard Xiao Han's order! At this time, the little water left in the pot was still sizzling!
Xiao Han held a ladle of water and looked nervously into the pot! Although cooking salt is fast, if the heat is not controlled properly, the salt will burn out!
Fortunately, Xiao Han's tea-frying skills have not been in vain these days, and he has mastered the heat of this big pot just right!
While the white smoke was billowing, the remaining heat of the iron pot dried the last trace of water inside. When the smoke dissipates, there is only a layer of white salt cubes left at the bottom of the pot!
"Is this...salt?" Xiao Lizi came around and looked into the pot, his eyes couldn't move anymore!
After he came here, he just saw Xiao Han fidgeting with a bucket of water, and somehow the bucket of water turned into salt inexplicably in the end. Could it be that Xiao Han had some ability to turn water into salt? !
"Can you tell if it's salt or not?" Xiao Han maliciously encouraged Xiao Lizi, wanting him to be the first guinea pig to eat salt.
“Just try it!”
What Xiao Han didn't expect was that Xiao Lizi didn't even refuse! He took out his dagger and struck hard on the salt block at the bottom of the pot a few times.
"Bang bang..." The salt cubes at the bottom of the pot shattered in response, breaking into countless small pieces like cracked ice cubes.
Little Plum reached out and picked up a soybean-sized piece from inside. He looked at Xiao Han hesitantly, closed his eyes, and threw it into his mouth.
Then, Li Shimin's face wrinkled up...
"Well, it's salt! It's really salt! It's still the best green salt!" Xiao Lizi covered his mouth and shouted vaguely! Looking at Xiao Han again, his eyes looked like he had seen a ghost in broad daylight!
You know he is no better than Xiao Han! During the past few days in Xiazhou, Xiao Han secretly opened a small stove and ate all the refined salt he brought at home!
But Xiao Lizi has been eating vinegar cloth with the soldiers these days! The intestines that I have been eating are almost mixed together. Now when I eat salt, I feel like I am in another world!
"Salt, really salt! Better than official salt!"
And after Xiao Lizi called out Qing Yan's name, Uncle Lengzi and the others immediately went crazy! They rushed over and gathered around the big pot, each holding a piece of salt and stupidly stretching out their tongues to lick it! Just like a group of Pekingese people surrounding a rice bowl...
Crazy, all crazy!
Xiao Han really didn't expect that after he actually made salt, the entire Xiazhou City went crazy!
With red eyes, Xiao Lizi arrogantly moved away all Xiao Han's salt-making equipment! And he didn’t even pay an IOU!
Changsun Shunde, who later learned the news, wanted to personally escort the guide to find the refugees in the mountains! If it weren't for the remonstrances of other people in the city, they would probably be in Xiaoyang Mountain by now!
He couldn't go there, and several soldiers were holding his legs tightly! Changsun Shunde could only viciously assign more than a dozen people to the guide. These people were all the best in martial arts under him! It's no problem to fight ten of them! He originally planned to do it hard if he couldn't do it softly! No matter what, finding the salt mine is a great achievement!
I personally sent a few people out of the city and watched as these people followed the guide on horseback to the mountain pass. There is no need to worry about the guide running away. Several large gold ingots are left in his old mother's hands. If he returns successfully, it will all be his! Dare to run! Hum hum, don't say I'm unjust!
Intimidation and inducement are always the most effective method! Not to mention that he had a recruitment letter written by Xiao Lizi himself in his arms! What is said above is true, as long as they tell them the location of the salt mine, they will be given whatever they want! Even if they don't plan to go down the mountain, that's okay! You can choose whatever food, cloth, or fabrics you like! Xiazhou City will do its best to provide it to them!
A group of people entered the mountain in the afternoon, but did not come out at night. Xiao Lizi and Changsun Shunde didn't even sleep all night!
Before dawn the next day, the two of them ran to the city gate tower with panda eyes and looked at the mountain from a distance.
The sun has risen, but no one has come back...
The sun was at its peak, and there was no one around...
Just when Changsun Shunde and Xiao Lizi were filled with disappointment, suddenly a soldier pointed in the distance and shouted: "He's back! He's back!"
"Where? Where?" One sentence! The two people who were dejected just now were instantly resurrected with full health, and jumped to the top of the city wall with a bang!
"Right there!" The soldier tried his best to stretch his arm and point forward, almost falling off the city wall!
"Oh! I saw it!" Li Shimin widened his eyes and looked forward until he felt dizzy. Only then did I see a large group of figures walking toward Xiazhou City in the far distance!
"Woooo..."
There was a horn sound nearby. This was the warning sound made by the spies when they discovered that unknown people were approaching!
"Stop bragging! Stop fucking bragging!" Changsun Shunde on the city wall roared loudly! Blow hair? If you scare people back again, you can find salt mines in these hundreds of thousands of mountains!
The crowd in the distance also heard the sound of the trumpet, and there was a commotion. But it soon returned to normal, and under the leadership of the first few people, it slowly moved towards Xiazhou City.
