Chapter 68 68. Salt

At this time, I finally understand why this kid loves to buy coarse salt these days. Every time he enters the town, he will buy a few catties. It is useless for them to talk about it.

"Father needs a sieve, a small hammer, charcoal, a barrel, a funnel, sackcloth, an iron pot, and a stone mill."

The tools needed to purify salt have long been thought through these days, and they almost blurted out without thinking about Huajin.

There are all these homes, even if there is no space for her, they can be made together.

It is the funnel-shaped wooden shelf that needs to be made by Dad, and the family has prepared a lot of charcoal because of the cold weather.

These were not difficult for Hua Chengtian, and he made one after a while.

When the father and the three were preparing, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were making the medicine looked at the two men and the children in the family in a daze.

When the old man took out all the coarse salt in the house, Mrs. Hua finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Old man, what's the matter with you rummaging through boxes and cabinets? What are you doing with so much salt?" Mrs. Hua stopped the old man, pretending not to let him take the salt without explaining clearly.

"Help it purify," the anxious old man Hua only had time to reply, and he couldn't wait to pass by the old woman who came to the yard with the salt in her arms, and smashed the salt into as small particles as her granddaughter wanted with a hammer.

"It's not the old man, what did you mean by purification? What is purification? Isn't this salt good?"

Mrs. Hua was even more confused, and followed into the yard without understanding.

"Taste yourself" Old man Wang was too busy smashing the salt and didn't have time to talk to the old woman, but he took out the bag of salt that his granddaughter hadn't taken back from his arms, stuffed it to the old woman, and asked her to taste it by herself.

Mrs. Hua took what the old man handed her with a dazed expression, and then saw that some of it was poured into her hand at the breach.

Since the old man asked her to taste it by herself, let's try it, but to see what they are up to.

Then when he saw the thing in his hand, doubts flashed in his eyes, even so, he pinched a pinch and put it in his mouth, then he was stunned, looked at the thing in his hand in disbelief, and then looked at the old man fiercely.

Finally understood what the old man meant by the purified salt?
So the old man, his son, and his granddaughter are going to get out the salt in her hand.

Mrs. Hua felt dazed for a while, as if the old man and his son were hysterical.

There is nothing the government can do, can this thing be made casually?
For a moment, he forgot how the old man got the salt in his hand.

"It's not... his father, you..."

"Ma'am, if you have any questions, wait until we're done. You'll know later." The old man Hua is full of trust in his granddaughter. If the granddaughter says she can, she will definitely be able to, and the wife interrupts, knowing what it means as soon as she opens her mouth.

He's busy now, so he can't be distracted.

Old Lady Hua: "..."

Gritting her teeth, she glanced at him, but she also knew that since the old man said so, he obviously wasn't going to tell her right now.

No matter how anxious he was, he could only wait, and casually put the salt bag in his hand on the scorpion beside him, turned around and went back to the room, and when he came out again, there was an iron lump in his hand, which was a weight.

The old man Hua raised his eyebrows and watched his wife's mouth rise.

Although Mrs. Qi, who was making medicine in the kitchen, was also curious about what her in-laws said, she didn't come forward to see the medicine.

When the medicine was ready, Hua Chengtian drank it, and Qi Shi and her mother-in-law joined in after understanding the matter in shock.

The first is to put the crushed salt on graphite and grind it into powder, then put the collected salt powder into a bucket and add water to stir evenly. After it is fully dissolved, cover it with sackcloth and divide it into buckets, and then filter it several times continuously.

The next step is to detoxify the salt water. The crushed charcoal is wrapped in sackcloth and stuffed into the wooden funnel shelf that Hua Chengtian usually makes, and then the filtered solution is poured under the funnel shelf and replanted in the wooden barrel.

To be honest, although I know the steps, and I look confident to my grandfather and father, I have no idea what kind of brocade can be filtered out.

But looking at the obviously clean liquid Huajin, he suddenly became confident. The sticky liquid on his fingertips put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and the bitter taste in the salt water disappeared.

The daughter's expression, Hua Chengtian knew it was done, and hurriedly tasted it, and the old man Hua, the old woman Qi, put the sticky liquid in his mouth and tasted it.

Tasting the salty salt water without any bitterness, Hua Chengtian and the old man Hua blushed immediately with excitement.

"You tell me what to do with the rest of the girl..." Hua Chengtian couldn't help urging the child, and the old man nodded repeatedly, rolling up his sleeves and preparing for a big fight.

How dare Hua Jin dare to delay, believe it or not, the father who is in the excitement at the moment will give her a one-finger flick, and hurriedly told the remaining and last step to cook.

The next thing is much simpler, just one person guarding the stove and the other guarding the pot to boil the salt water and leave a thick layer of salt crystals at the bottom of the pot to scoop out and grind them with a stone mill.

At this point, the purification of salt is over.

Looking at the thick layer of white crystal brocade on the bottom of the pot, I knew it was a success.

The two brothers Hua Yunao and Hua Yunxiang came back from the academy. I found it strange that they didn't smell the expected aroma of rice. Except for the little sister and Xiao Si who opened the door for them, the grandparents and parents were all standing at the table in the main room in a daze.

The two brothers looked at each other strangely.

"Little sister, what's wrong with them?" The brothers looked at the younger sister.

"Brother, grandma, and the others are looking at the salt." Xiao Si opened her mouth in front of her sister while eating the tangerine in her hand, and a sweet and sour taste came out as soon as she spoke, attracting the attention of the two brothers.

"Xiao Si, what good food do you eat? Brothers treat you so well, you can't eat alone!" Brother Hua narrowed his eyes.

"I didn't eat alone, this is what my sister rewarded me." Frightened, Xiaosi hurriedly stuffed the satsuma orange in his hand into his mouth, fearing that the second brother would snatch the last one from him, he hastily covered his small satchel.

This kind of concealed action successfully made the two brothers laugh, and the second brother Hua deliberately extended his hand to Xiao Si with a malicious look.

"Give me a taste..."

"My sister rewarded me..." Xiao Si struggled but did not run away, his face was tangled, but his hand covering the small satchel loosened.

Seeing his brother's outstretched hand, his mouth curled, he reached into the satchel and took out a small golden orange.

"Here, my sister gave me three in total, so let me give one to my elder brother and second brother." The pain in the flesh on his face during the speech really made people laugh no matter how you looked at it.

"Brothers didn't hurt you in vain." Brother Hua flicked Xiao Si's forehead, and took the little orange in his hand under Xiao Si's reluctant gaze.

After smelling it, it smelled really good. A strange look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the little girl.

They have never seen this kind of fruit in the town, but they have smelled it.

Many of the students in the academy are from well-to-do families. I saw them eat it, but it is much bigger than this one, and it is not as strong as the sweet and sweet taste in their hands.
