Salt baked from seawater cannot be used directly because it contains many impurities and harmful elements, and long-term consumption will cause serious harm to the human body.
If you want to turn this sea salt into table salt, you still need to continue filtering and diluting it.
Nalant ordered Kenbi and others to pull the carriage to bring in fresh water. When the fresh water came, they would pour the sea salt into the fresh water.
Once the sea salt has been redissolved into the fresh water, filtration can begin.
Due to limited materials, Narant could only use the most primitive methods.
Cut a few holes in the bottom of one of the wooden basins, then lay a tablecloth inside the wooden basin, and then use sand and charcoal produced by just burning salt as filter materials. Layer by layer, sand, charcoal and tablecloth, this wooden basin will be Becomes a simple filter.
After one operation, the filtered salt water is put into the iron pot again and boiled again.
When all the water in the pot is finally evaporated, what remains at the bottom of the pot is the sea salt that can be used.
"Ah! Sir, this salt has turned white!" Looking at the greatly changed sea salt, Kenby Cowdung, Quick and others were stunned.
At this time, the sea salt in the pot was no different from what they usually eat. Although it was not white enough, the original red color was no longer there.
"Taste it again!" This simplest technique of refining coarse salt was taught in the chemistry class of the third grade of junior high school in the previous life. In the eyes of Kenbi Cowdung and others, it is more magical than magic.
After hearing the order, Kuik and others eagerly came to the pot, then dipped some white salt in their mouths.
"Oh! It's really salt! It's exactly the same as the one we bought from the Baron of Quint!" Kenby Cowdung immediately jumped up from the ground.
Snapped!
"Keep your voice down, this salt-making technology is your unique skill! If anyone hears it, I will hang you to the Maiye Village Square!" Although Quake was also shocked, but when he saw Kenby Cowdung He exclaimed, but couldn't help but give him a headache.
Kenby suffered a blow to his head and finally shrank his head and calmed down!
Nalant just smiled and said nothing. This was just a refining process. If you want to achieve the flawless white salt of the previous life, you only need to repeat the refining method.
Of course, Nalant would not say this now. He fully agreed with Quaker's cautious sense. Making salt was different from catching fish.
Even if the lure does not spread, some powerful lords can send troops to drive away the fish-man sea monster and then fish.
If salt can be made, even an earl or a king, if there is no salt mine elf, can only buy it elsewhere for consumption.
Therefore, this salt business is a real money-making business, and it is even more profitable than in the previous life, because extracting sea salt from sea water is unique to the Nalant family.
"Kenby Cowdung!"
"Sir, the little one is here!"
"Immediately go to the village and recruit twenty serfs. You don't have to be strong and can plow the land, and there is no distinction between men and women. But there is one thing. You must ask for other members of the family."
"Yes, sir!" Kenby Cowdung knew what the lord wanted to do, and immediately ran towards Doom Village excitedly.
"Quick, now send someone to Maiye Village and ask Peter to send forty strong serfs over to build a simple fence around the coast. From now on, this coast will become a restricted area of the Storm Territory!"
As Nalant issued orders one after another, the Storm Territory finally made its first big move.
Narant's idea was very simple, that is, to designate the coast as a restricted area, and no one else is allowed to approach it except those he ordered, so as to ensure that Haiyan's affairs would not be leaked.
As for the people who make sea salt, Nalant asked them to have relatives for this reason. At least with family members around, the serfs would be more controllable.
Moreover, the people in Doom Village were basically exiled, and there was no other place to stay except the Storm Territory. This also added a layer of lock to Haiyan's confidentiality.
Of course, this is only a stopgap measure. If possible, Nalant would even build a large salt-producing base and send troops to patrol it regularly, so that the production of sea salt can be foolproof.
After the order was issued, the serfs took their places one after another. Nalant once again taught the serfs how to boil salt before returning to Doom Village!
"Kenbi Cowdung, I will leave the matter of the coast to you! Tell the villagers that in the future, no one is allowed to go near the coast without my permission. If there is any violation, I will hang him in Maiye Village!"
"Of course, the villagers can also be responsible for supervision. If anyone with evil intentions is caught, I will reward you heavily!" Nalant's face had never been more majestic, making Kenbi Cow Dung tremble.
"Yes, Lord Lord!" Kenby Cow Dung cautiously agreed.
In fact, Nalanthe didn't say anything, he was also prepared to protect the coastline to the death.
Because just now, Nalant appointed him as the captain of salt boiling and fishing. Well... although I have never heard of this official position before, it was appointed by the lord himself, as serious as nobles conferring vassals.
What's more important is that he will do nothing after this official position. He only needs to maintain order and manage the salt boiling and fishing on the coast, and he will be rewarded with ten silver coins every month.
This is the same reward as the guards. Anyone who wants to destroy his good deeds will kill him.
"Yeah! I will send someone to register the names of those serfs later, and you will help collect and forward their salaries in the future!"
If you want the horses to run, you have to give them grass. Although he gave the serfs whale meat on credit just the day before yesterday, Narant can still afford the thirty copper coins a day, so that the serfs can be more satisfied. Cohesive.
"Yes, sir!" After listening to this, Kenbi Cowdung felt that his burden was getting heavier and heavier. This also meant that he was more and more valued by the lord.
"It's not good, Lord! The Daughter of Doom has appeared in the village!" Just as Nalant finished explaining the matter, several villagers suddenly ran out of Maiye Village and came to report with horror on their faces.
"The Daughter of Misfortune?" Kenby Cowdung and other villagers immediately became frightened after hearing this.
