Chapter 106 The Iron Pot Has a Hole

The hole is not small, it is as big as two fists.

The man looked at the hole, a little dumbfounded.

Everyone sighed helplessly, but their mood was not affected, and they were still very good.

Liang Dawei laughed and scolded, "You say you, we only have two iron pots left, why did you break one?"

The others looked at the iron pot. The gap was too big. They might not even be able to repair it, so they could only sell it as scrap iron.

They shook their heads involuntarily, but there was no anger in their eyes.

Gao Zexia thought he would be severely scolded, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thanking his brother Sun for his legs to recover, and thanking the little lady for telling the news at this moment.

He quickly avoided the hole, and carefully scraped the salt grains from the side of the pot into the salt jar beside him.

Only then did he put the holed iron pot aside and put out the fire on his stove.

The others looked at another intact iron pot, "But to be honest, I don't think the remaining pot will last long."

Now they only have an iron pot left. The outer edge of the pot is covered with thick grease coating. It has obviously been used for many years, and it is afraid that it will crack again at some point.

"But this iron pot is not easy to buy." Liang Dawei frowned, and corrected: "No, you can't buy it at all."

They are tall and big, and they are fine in the village or in the wild. Everyone is polite to them, but once they enter the county, they will be regarded as dangerous elements.

If you buy some herbs, you will get gossip.

Not to mention iron tools, which are controlled items.

The last time they went to buy an iron pot, the shopkeeper was suspicious and asked them many questions.

They were annoyed by the question, and couldn't help but make their voices louder. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he called the officers and soldiers, and they almost wanted to take a day trip to the prison.

Someone thought of a good way and said, "You can let the little lady buy it!"

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help looking at Qin Min.

Ask the little lady to buy an iron pot? ? ?

After watching them cook salt, Qin Min was about to go back to the thatched cottage, but he didn't expect to have his own business, so he froze in place.

The person who proposed was directly slapped on the back of the head severely by others.

"You are crazy, let the little lady buy it."

The man clutched the back of his painful head, gasped and said aggrievedly.

"Little lady, it's easier than us to go shopping. Don't you also see the eyes of those merchants? Every time they look at us, it seems that we are some big villains who are going to do something bad."

"There are also those officers and soldiers who have been staring at us, and their eyeballs are almost glued to us."

Qin Min looked at their burly figures.

She... seemed to understand the thoughts of those merchants.

These people are too strong, if they are not the children of the rich family, they are the guards raised by the children of the rich family.

It's just that the children of rich families wear brocade clothes, and the guards wear commoner clothes, but the clothes they wear are unstandardized sackcloth.

Ordinary people who are still strong and strong during the famine are not serious people, and they are most afraid of being the kind of people who have no bottom line and eat X.

Those officers and soldiers were afraid that once they came to the county, there would be a few more missing cases.

Qin Min said softly: "You don't necessarily need me, you can find someone in the county to buy for you."

The others got acquainted with each other, and sighed in unison, "We have searched for it three times, and we have been tricked miserably all three times."

Qin Min didn't understand why.

Liang Dawei explained to Qin Min that someone had collected their money before, but did not help them buy the pot, and even reported them to the officers and soldiers.

It is said that they secretly bought iron tools with evil intentions.

They narrowly escaped unharmed.

Qin Min was tongue-tied when he heard that, this purchasing agent is such a scam, isn't it swallowing the purchasing agent fee and the pot fee?

"Didn't you bother that person?"

Liang Dawei sighed, "The account post is forged, and people can't find it."

He told many more stories about how they had been cheated.

Others felt sorry for them when they recalled, "Anyway, we don't dare to hand over to others when we buy things now. If we can buy them ourselves, we can buy them ourselves."

Liang Dawei glared at the others, "It's not like you don't know how chaotic it is outside, but you just bought a pot and brought the little lady into the fire pit. You are too embarrassed."

The others said coldly: "Stop talking sarcastic, if we have a way, can we say that? If you are so capable, why don't you come up with a way?"

Liang Dawei raised his head and said confidently: "Isn't it easy, we covered our faces at night and went to rob the blacksmith shop."

Qin Min fell silent.

With all due respect, there is really no difference whether they cover their faces or not.

The others rolled their eyes, "I see you are trying to push us all into the fire pit."

Qin Min said softly: "Why don't you find someone to see what's going on outside first, maybe the control is not strict now, and you are allowed to buy iron tools."

Someone shook his head, "No, they just refused to let us buy it all the time. I almost wondered if we offended someone."

"You have less conspiracy theories without evidence."

"Otherwise, it's not that we can't pay, why can't we even buy this iron pot, even these two iron pots were picked up."

"It's just buying a pot, why is it so difficult?"

Liang Dawei squatted next to the stove, and stuffed firewood into the stove mouth, "I'll discuss with the boss later, how to get another pot."

Someone said weakly: "Actually, I think it's good to let the little lady buy it."

Qin Min smiled.

She didn't mind running errands, so she could take the opportunity to see what the ancient streets and food were like.

Liang Dawei was silent, "Let's ask the boss first."

He was heated up by the stove, and wiped off his sweat, "Let's boil the salt first, I don't know how long it will take to cook all the rock salt in one pot."

Everyone nodded, and continued to chop firewood, crush and dissolve rock salt...

Qin Min looked at the rock salt and the salt particles they scraped off, his eyes flickered.

Why did she feel that after cooking the rock salt, it didn't seem to lose much, and it became these salt grains.

Their cooking action is actually a process of heating, evaporating and filtering out impurities, so a lot of impurities should be lost.

Qin Min narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the color of the rock salt.

Most of the rock salt will appear pink, green and other colors because of impurities, and only pure rock salt will be white or transparent.

Their rock salt, or, does not need to be refined at all, and can be directly smashed and used?
It's just that she doesn't have any equipment, so how can she prove this?

Liang Dawei stuffed firewood into the fire of the stove, and persuaded: "Little lady, don't listen to what they say, the county town sells things expensively, and it's always cheating people, it's not a good place."

The little lady is pure-minded and doesn't think too much, lest she will be coaxed by those people to do stupid things.

Qin Min responded with a smile.

But her eyes fell on the crushed rock salt. Without the instrument, there would be no instrument. It was just to verify the impurities. She had passed the chemistry back then!
