Chapter 36 Salt Making (2)

That aunt also often goes back to her natal home. When she goes back to her natal home, she likes to describe the fishing village on her husband’s side with her nephews, and then Qin Muyu remembers what the aunt said about the fishing village on her husband’s side. some of the local environment.

Qin Muyu told Qin Zhongyuan in detail how to dry salt, divided into several steps, etc., how to dry clean and delicious salt with a high yield.

Qin Zhongyuan listened to what Qin Muyu said, he was really unimaginable, and interrupted Qin Muyu with difficulty, "Is what you said true? Sea water can really dry salt?"

"Of course." Qin Muyu smiled, "Abo, you have also tasted the sea water, and you must have tasted its salty taste. Since it is salty, it must be able to dry out the salt."

Qin Muyu also told Qin Zhongyuan that sweat is also salty. If there is enough sweat and then dried, it can be seen that there is a thin layer of salt, but it is rare.

Although Qin Zhongyuan couldn't quite believe Qin Muyu's saying that seawater can dry salt, he had to think carefully, if this method is really useful?
"If you don't dare to believe the sea salt, you can actually ask your aunt to boil the salt." Qin Muyu suggested. He said that he can try to return the sea water first and then boil it until it reaches the moisture content. What's left after it dries is salt.

It's just that boiled salt is definitely not as clean and free of impurities as sun-dried salt, but boiled salt is easier than sun-dried salt, and it is not so exciting.

"This method of sun-drying salt, if my aunt's experiment yields results, I can also tell the method to that Qin Da." Qin Muyu said, "We will definitely not be able to keep this recipe on our own. We must know the method of making salt. It is much more important than the method of squeezing the oil."

Qin Zhongyuan nodded with a serious expression. Of course he knew that salt was very important, and all the salt merchants were extremely rich.Moreover, it is even more difficult for those who have no skills to make and sell salt.

Salt is basically produced and sold by the government, so even if Qin Zhongyuan knows how to dry salt now, his sister can dry salt, and they can't sell salt.

However, he still has to experiment to see if this method of drying salt is feasible. By then, he will be able to find a profitable business for his sister and nephew.

Qin Muyu was in poor health, so he only told Qin Zhongyuan how to dry and boil salt. He did not go to the fishing village where Qin Zhongyuan's sister lived. I went to the fishing village with my daughter-in-law and youngest son.

The relationship between Mu Lian and her eldest sister-in-law is relatively good, and her eldest sister-in-law was already married when she married in, but even so, their relationship is still good.

Now that her husband and son are going to marry and see the eldest sister-in-law, Mu Lian also prepared a lot of things for the eldest sister-in-law. She embroidered some small patterns for the eldest sister-in-law, and brought some sweet potato vines for the eldest sister-in-law. She planned to plant some for the eldest sister-in-law.

She planted the sweet potato vine that Chen Qiuxiang gave her family before, and she planted it in the corner of her vegetable garden. Now it has grown tender leaves, and it looks pretty good.

The village where Qin Zhongyuan's sister Qin Songlan lives is called Pingdong Fishing Village, and the fishing village she married is also a relatively large village, similar in size to Qin's Village.

Although Pingdong Fishing Village is not named after a clan like Qin's Village, [-]% of the people there are named Liu. Qin Songlan's husband is named Liu and his name is Liu Quanmin.

The distance between Pingdong Fishing Village and Qinjiazhuang is not very far, about [-] miles away. Qin Zhongyuan, his wife and youngest son did not go there on foot. They have cattle at home, so they took a ox cart to go. The distance is about [-] miles. It takes about an hour to get there.

Qin Zhongyuan's family of three went out after eating in the morning, so it was not noon when they arrived in Pingdong Fishing Village, and everyone was still busy at the moment, and it was not time to go home and cook for lunch.

Although Pingdong Fishing Village is a fishing village, there are also farmers. Most people in the village also have one or two pieces of land. At this time, people in Pingdong Fishing Village have almost planted their own land. Everyone basically goes to the sea. fishing.

Qin Zhongyuan's relationship with his sister is not bad, and he used to come here often, and Qin Shuyan also came here often when he was a child, and he is familiar with Pingdong Fishing Village.

"Hey, is Village Chief Qin coming? To see your sister?" A middle-aged woman who was about the same age as Qin Songlan greeted Qin Zhongyuan and the others with a smile.

"Yes, come and see my sister." Qin Zhongyuan nodded and said, "Does sister-in-law know that my sister is at home?"

Although Qin Zhongyuan knew that his sister was 50 years old and it was impossible to go to sea with her brother-in-law. Of course, it was impossible for his brother-in-law to go fishing at such an old age. Usually, his nephew and the others went there.

But he also knew that neither his sister nor his brother-in-law were the kind of people who could live at leisure. Even if they didn't go to sea, they might go to the beach for a stroll, so he had to ask if his sister was at home.

"I'm here, your sister is at home with her grandson, and she didn't go out." The middle-aged aunt said with a smile.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Qin Zhongyuan thanked the aunt, and then sent his son to his sister's house.

Qin Songlan's house.

"Xiao Mao, don't touch the pig food!"

"Xiao Mao, don't touch the knife! Who of you put the knife here? Can't you put the knife out of the reach of children?"

"Xiao Mao, I told you not to touch those knives! Don't move the hoe!"

As soon as Qin Zhongyuan arrived at the door of his sister's house, he heard her sonorous voice. The roar was full of anger, but the tone was full of irritability.

Mu Lian couldn't help bursting into laughter when she heard her sister-in-law's voice, it was because she sympathized with her sister-in-law and thought it was fun.

Although she also takes care of her grandchildren, her daughter-in-law takes care of the children most of the time. She mostly does embroidery or painting flowers, and is rarely busy with housework or taking care of the children.

Every time she sees her life different from others, she can't help feeling that it's fortunate that she had a good vision and chose to marry Qin Zhongyuan. She hasn't suffered much in these years.

Although she is good at embroidery, Qin Zhongyuan and his family are also forced to embroider day and night to support their family, which is very kind to her.

Of course, she didn't mean that her sister-in-law was having a bad time. Liu Quanmin was also very kind to Qin Songlan, but the children in the family were more naughty, and she was pissed off by her own children.

It was Qin Songlan's children who were naughty in the past. Her children were all lively and active when they were young. Now her grandson is also lively and active.
