"Chief, can you make a good one?" The leader of the messenger looked at the chief expectantly.
"Is that much?" asked the chief.
"There are many. I chose the white ones and the pink ones, which look scary." The person replied.
"Just transport it back. There's actually limestone there, right? There's no need to use lime to purify table salt. It's very simple."
The director said it so lightly, I thought it wouldn't be any difficult, just turn mineral salt into edible salt!
"There's limestone, you're so awesome growing in it, and there are other stones! The craftsman said there is indeed gold there, look at the plants buried in the snow."
The man smiled and felt relieved. The chief said it would be OK.
"Then use yellow mud?" Zhu Xi thought of the operation of boiling the sea into salt.
"Did Your Highness forget about the beach-drying method? The beach-drying method does not require adding anything. The salt is purified one after another and the impurities are removed.
Let's make the pool first, then pour the salt mine back into the pool to dissolve with water, and let it slowly dry in the sun. It will sublimate even in winter.
There is enough salt now, but when the weather warms up and the frozen salt ponds melt, it’s time to do the beach drying method. "
The director gave the simplest method, such as filtration and chemical reaction! No need to wait.
Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, and the people around them: "..."
"Oh! I thought it required a lot of steps! Yes, the beach drying method, the last salt is very clean, there are more pools on the left than on the right."
Zhu Chong had no sense of novelty at all. He just saw the stone-like salt, and he still wanted to use what he had learned to deal with it.
Such as yellow mud, plant ash, lime, gauze, frying pan...
The quantity is small, so we have to do this, and we even have to add other things.
Since there are a lot of stones, if they are brought back and processed according to the beach drying method, a lot of salt will be left to be precipitated and wasted. The last pool will have no impurities.
Those wasteful things can actually be cooked in places where there is no salt, or fed to livestock and poultry?
"Everyone, get moving and find a good road to transport things back. Now we are not busy drying them. We have enough salt to build the pond."
Zhu Biao ordered that anyway, this method is to obtain quality through quantity.
The sea salt sold in the Ming Dynasty is this kind of sea salt, but for the palace and for myself, Xiaqiu Village seems to have gone through more processes.
More people are moving to mine salt mines.
Zhu Biao looked at those beautiful stones and smiled. He could take them home and carve them into something. Anyway, there are many craftsmen.
He turned to look at the palace where he lived in Xiaqiu Village and shook his head slightly. An expert is an expert. He hides himself secretly but never disappoints others.
Ask yourself about the treasure. I actually found salt by the way. Maybe these beautiful stones are just the way. The real treasure is salt!
"We need to build a fort in that place. We need to build a circle of forts. No one can go there. That's the salt mine of the Ming Dynasty. If you have salt here, you'll have everything."
Zhu Xi was shouting, his eyes were red, salt! The herdsmen were willing to trade good furs for something.
He had seen how the herdsmen put salt when grilling fish. He tore off the fish and carefully dipped it in a few grains of salt. He then threw it into his mouth with a satisfied look on his face.
It is definitely a military base and the hope of all the herdsmen here.
Word spread quickly and everyone knew that the team sent out had discovered gems and rock salt.
For herdsmen, gems are not as good as salt. They can easily be killed by others, and they can eat the salt themselves.
Herdsmen even know that livestock must eat salt, especially those who are sick, so they must save the salt at home to feed livestock, such as horses, cows and sheep that are pregnant with their babies.
If there is a lot of salt, which is very cheap, it can be fed to livestock and reduce the risk of illness.
The herdsmen cheered and told each other their joy. They also wanted to know how much salt they would get in the future. How to change?
Most people were guessing, but Xiaodoudou's sister didn't want to guess. She took the bag of goat's milk she had just received and went into the city to meet the people in Xiaqiu Village.
After an announcement, she entered the palace of Beiyuan, and the little girl greeted her warmly: "Xiaoji, is there something going on at home?"
"No! I'll give you goat's milk, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the King of Qin!" The little girl saluted Zhu Biao and Zhu Ping.
"Okay! It's time to have dinner. You stay for dinner and ask someone to come to your house to say something." Zhu Biao nodded and invited the other party to have dinner with him.
The pie baked today is stuffed with chives, shrimps, and eggs, and has a vegetarian soup with bamboo fungus, fungus, hazelnut mushrooms, dried tofu shreds, cucumber shreds, and carrot shreds.
There are a lot of side dishes, including beef in sauce.
"Okay! I've never eaten it before!" The girl said frankly. She would eat as much as she was told, and she would not miss this meal.
Someone ran to her house to tell her, and brought pie and soup along with her.
When the little girl entered the hall, her eyes widened instantly: "It's so warm! How many stoves are there?"
"The heater is not suitable for you because you are always running around with the livestock. If you are willing to build a house and live in it in the winter, you can have a heater."
The little girl pointed to the radiator. There was a wet hand towel on it, which had just been washed.
"Sister Ling'er, building a house will cost a lot of money, right? What can I exchange for it? Yes! I'm here to ask. Everyone wants to know how to sell salt?"
The girl remembered important things, and salt was the most realistic.
Zhu Biao looked at the other person's water bag containing goat's milk: "One bowl of milk for one bowl of salt."
"Ah?" The girl was dumbfounded and her voice trembled: "A bowl of milk for a bowl of salt? That's what His Highness the Crown Prince said? Sister Ling'er, right?"
She couldn't believe it. What was the difference between that and giving it away for free?
"Your Highness, how could you be joking? This is how we changed it. We can feed the livestock vigorously in the future, but we can't change it now. We have to wait until the weather gets hot and we can take out the salt."
The little girl nodded, it was originally given to you, how many of you are there? If it wasn't for free, I wouldn't want a bowl of milk.
"Yes, it's not urgent, it's not urgent. If everyone knows, they will be very happy. They will wake up laughing from their dreams, hey hey hey..." The little girl smiled first.
After finishing the meal, she patted her belly and jumped back to the herdsmen's residential area. When she saw the herdsmen, she told them about a bowl of milk in exchange for a bowl of salt.
In less than half an hour, all the herdsmen knew how the salt had been changed. The adults took their children and knelt down in the direction of the palace to express their gratitude.
…
"Quick, go a little further. Hukou Waterfall has no ice so early? Come from upstream, you will be shocked."
Tang He wiped cold sweat and shouted to the team that they were walking on the Yellow River, but the ice gave out and they hurried to the shore.
Then a group of ice, yes, a group of large and small ice blocks rushed down, and they sailed on land in advance.
After passing Hukou Waterfall today, there was still ice, so they did not dare to go down, so they could only continue walking on land using wheels.
We have to find a good spot to enter the river and change it into a boat. The speed of the windlass is slow.
Today is February 14th, and it took us nine days to get here, all of which was delayed by land.
The Yellow River is basically open along its entire length, with turbulent waves and rapid water flow in the waterfalls. You have to go some distance below to enter.
It's the third update today, and the farmhouse will have to clean up early tomorrow morning. Make up for it later!
