The correct way to open the sprite

Chapter 42
It has to be said that the natural environment of the camp is much more suitable for drying salt than the small town where Feng Yu grew up. The evaporated brine was poured into the pool for crystallization and formed a thin layer on the bottom within two days. Thin granular crystallization.

It was impossible for Feng Yu to work. He directed a few strong halfling men sent by Allen to shovel out those salt crystals and pile them on the side. Within two days, a pile of pure white salt crystals appeared on the drying platform.

At this moment, the salt pond was already full of onlookers, not only dwarves and halflings, but also many elves.

Nicole rushed over after finishing her training. Airo wanted to solve the big problem of salt for the camp, so how could Nicole not care.

Xiao Nizi ran over to look at the white salt flowers on the drying platform, happily took Feng Yu's arm, and kept asking excitedly, completely oblivious to the fact that Anthony's face next to him was turning black into the bottom of the pot.

Alan and Dick have already started to do it themselves at this moment. The two of them shoveled out the salt crystals in the crystallization pool little by little, and carefully piled them on the salt pile to dry.

"Cough cough" Anthony walked to Feng Yu's side and coughed twice, Nicole pouted and let go of Feng Yu's arm.

"Won't you get sick if you eat this kind of salt made by adding a secret recipe?"

It was very simple for Feng Yu to come up with this small pile of pure white salt. Anthony asked the dwarves and halflings who helped him, and knew that apart from his sticky secret recipe, the rest of the expenditure was just three meals for a few workers. That's all, it's not from him.

He couldn't help thinking that if such a method could be produced on a large scale, the benefits represented would be too great.

Feng Yu looked at the urgency on the old man's face, and before answering, he held Nicole's hand in front of the old man Anthony. The long beard of the old man Antony trembled, he looked at the white salt, and said nothing.

Hey, I'm not taking advantage of others!
Seeing that Anthony didn't 'cough' anymore, Feng Yu was very happy, but he still shook his head with a serious face.

"This is just the first process. This kind of salt is only coarse salt. Although half of the toxins in it have been removed, it is still inedible. There is another process, and then the refined non-toxic table salt is produced. We call it Refined salt."

Feng Yu 'invented' a bunch of nouns and continued to fool around.

He directed the halfling workers to shovel out the salt and put it into a large pottery jar he made, adding the limestone powder from the Qingshui River filtered after boiling with plant ash and continuing to stir until it became a saturated salt solution that could not be dissolved by the salt.

There is a small hole at the bottom ten centimeters high of the large pottery vat, like a beer barrel with a hose underneath, which has been blocked by a cork at this moment.

The patriarch Ai Lun, a halfling worker, stepped on a ladder and stirred by the tank. When the salt could no longer dissolve, he looked at Feng Yu: "Brother Da Lun, this is ready, can I add it?"

"Have you recorded how much salt was melted in it?"

"Write it down, when those tanks are all melted, I'll bring them to you together."

Feng Yu nodded and said: "Okay, then I can write down an average value and save it from trying to stir it. Add it, and make sure you don't make a mistake in the dosage."

Allen patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry brother, you can't go wrong. I practiced for half the night last night."

As he said that, Allen took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms, took out a delicate spoon that was not too big for ear picks, and carefully placed a small spoonful of the porcelain bottle in each tank where the salt water was melted. Put the white powder in it, put it away and stir it.

This is the second recipe in Feng Yu's secret recipe, dried and crushed sweet potato starch, because this thing is handmade by Feng Yu alone, and there are not many finished products, so the so-called dosage is pitifully small.

The secret recipe is not how much, the important thing is to keep it mysterious.

"Okay, the salt water in this big tank has been settled all night. When the sun rises tomorrow, pull out the cork and pour the clean salt water from the upper layer into the clean drying salt pool left behind. What comes out after drying is edible. salt."

Feng Yu believes that the secondary crystallized table salt after the alkaline water purification reaction made of limestone water and plant ash can be regarded as edible table salt even on the earth.

Although there are still a few days before the real salt comes out, the spectators still stare at the white salt piled on the drying platform, unwilling to leave for a long time, which also let Feng Yu know the preciousness of the salt here.

Anthony asked: "How is the quality of the refined salt processed in the end compared to the table salt that is currently drying?"

"It is definitely much stronger than the table salt we eat now, both in appearance and taste." Feng Yu promised.

"Before the salt is made, I have a small gift for everyone." Feng Yu invited Anthony and others to the kiln where he burned the mud.

He took out the two furnaces of white porcelain that had been fired before from the box covered with dry thatch, and placed them on the table in front of the kiln.

Nicole looked at the smooth porcelain and said in surprise: "My God, is this what you burned out of mud these days?"

"Yes, this is our tableware."

Nicole carefully picked up a plate, and gently stroked the smooth glaze. She couldn't believe that such a beautiful and delicate thing was actually made of mud.

Anthony also picked up a small bowl to observe carefully, and used magic to summon a ball of water into the small bowl to test the water permeability of the small bowl in his hand.

"Although this thing is a bit brittle, it is not suitable for naughty children, but it is more practical, easy to scrub, impermeable, and beautiful and exquisite. They are called porcelain, which was researched by our master craftsmen there.

But I will only make some of this relatively common style of porcelain, the more delicate porcelain can even be fired to form beautiful patterns, they are usually regarded as works of art, among them expensive porcelain, such as small bowls The bigger one is worth more than ten thousand gold. "

After hearing Feng Yu's words, Grandpa Anthony was surprised, but he turned around and thought about it. Even Feng Yu, a layman, can make this kind of exquisite tableware. If a master who specializes in this kind of technology can make it How beautiful things are!
"Darren, do we really want to eat with such exquisite things? What if we accidentally break them?"

Feng Yu picked up a small bowl and let it go, but before the small bowl fell on the ground that could hardly break it, the great magister Anthony caught it with an instant magician's hand spell.

Feng Yu looked at the old man in a daze: "Um, I just want to tell you that this thing is very difficult to break as long as it doesn't fall on something hard."

Anthony ignored him and continued to look at the porcelain in his hand.

Feng Yu didn't care, he picked up a straw basket and packed a basket of tableware and handed it to Nicole: "Take it, these things are ours, when the salt is made, I will use them to make a table for you at our place." gourmet food.

Father, I leave the rest to you. "
