Chapter 197 Brine tofu

Salt is a necessity for life for many organisms.

For humans, if you don't eat salt, you may not die, but you will definitely lose your strength.

But the salt of this era is very unpalatable.

The lack of a complete purification process resulted in a large amount of impurities in the salt, which affected the taste.

There are also some mineral salts that contain a lot of nitrite. If you eat too much, you will die.

Therefore, whoever has a way to purify salt can make a lot of money.

There are three processes required to turn sea salt into refined salt: drying out coarse salt, washing salt impurities and brine, and evaporating into refined salt.

Therefore, after soaking Xinqu's salt cloth in sea water, it needs to be lifted to the rocks and shores to dry and dry in the sun until white crystals initially appear.

This is the first coarse salt process.

After that, the second process was placed in Xin's workshop.

Xinqu took out the salt cloth soaked in the water tank and gave it to his men to take outside to dry.

Then scoop out the salt water that has soaked the salt cloth.

There is a special pottery-bottomed filter beside the water, which contains a lot of activated carbon and sand to initially filter out impurities.

The salt water penetrates into the underground water tank, and the first half of the second process is completed.

Xin Qu placed the second half of the second process on the other side of the workshop, and Xin's clan members were responsible for the intermediate transfer. After all, Xin Qu would not leak out the key technology casually.

The second half of the second process requires a lot of time and energy to repeatedly wash the salt and filter it to remove brine impurities in the brine.

It was troublesome at first, but not anymore.

Xinqu poured the soaked soybeans into the millstone, and then the soy milk began to pour out while he was busy.

Then Xinqu started a controlled experiment and adjusted the ratio. It took about a day to finally get the ratio of the brine.

"Hmm... tofu, so delicious."

Xin Qu squinted his eyes. If he simmered a pot of fresh tofu with some ginger and pickled cabbage, it would be a perfect match!
"Chi! Chief, do you call this tofu? It's so slippery!"

Qingyan ate it with big mouthfuls, and many people fought for it. In just a short time, the tofu was completely wiped out.

Xin Qu burped and tutted and said: "In the future, before boiling salt, we must first wash it three times, evaporate the original juice left after filtering the brine twice, and make the salt brine, filter and separate it separately.

Used to order tofu.

People don’t like to eat soybeans and rice, so they eat tofu.

There is something special about this tofu. After boiling, you can scoop out the tofu skin.

You can drink soy milk by itself, but if you don’t like it, you can make tofu curd after ordering it.

Then cover the soy milk and bean curds with a cloth and compact them, drain them according to time.

For about half a day, it was the soft tofu we ate.

After that, there are old tofu, hard dried tofu, dried bean curd and soybean slices.

Soybean meal is also a treasure and can be used as feed for livestock, especially war horses. In addition to fodder, some tofu must be added.

Of course, we old Beiping men have to drink bean juice.

I remember that bean juice is made from mung bean juice. If anyone disobeys me later, I will reward him with a bowl!Keep him obedient! "

Xin Qu's smile became a bit ferocious as he spoke, which made everyone trembling in fear. "Clan leader, could this Douzhier be a torture instrument?"

"Hmm... more or less. But if you like eating smelly fish, this will be a good choice."

"Really?!" Someone looked at Xinqu in surprise, "Chief, how about we make a share?"

"Go, go, I'm not free now." Xin Qu rolled his eyes, "The subsequent salt is boiled over firewood and stirred continuously to turn it into refined salt.

The process is just like this, and each of you will be responsible for one. "

"Don't worry, Patriarch! We will definitely have no problems!"

These tribesmen who were missing arms and legs said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll pay you a salary later and ensure that your annual income is no less than one thousand catties of millet."

"Thank you, patriarch!!!"

This sound was real and hearty, and they were very excited.

They were originally worried that life would be difficult in the future, but Xinqu left the salt cooking to them and guaranteed them a minimum income. It can be said that their worries were eliminated and good days were just around the corner.

Xin Qu said calmly: "It's all what you should do. If you pay for the Xin family, the Xin family will naturally give back to you. As for the naturalized people at other tables, the same goes for you. Work hard. The policy may change at any time in the future. As long as You have mastered the skill of boiling salt. When the Xin clan expands to the coast in the future, we will all give you the identity of the clan and let you each lead a team to cook salt, which will generate income for the Xin clan and create a better living environment for you. "

"Yes!"

……

Xin Qu walked out of the workshop, and there were several new households in the workshop area.

"It's a bit crowded. How about moving to the mausoleum area?"

Xin Qu murmured that the workshop area was running out of space.Moreover, the iron smelting industry has also begun. The furnaces are already drying in the shade. They are waiting for it to be completely dry in a few days before they can begin to completely smelt the siderite ore collected from the market into iron tools.

"Qu, you came just in time." Xin Qu was still thinking about the structure of the Quyuan plow. Gulu Xiaogui came out and saw him, and greeted him excitedly: "I have made the loom and spinning machine you wanted!"

"Oh, it's coming." Xinqu was stunned and walked over quickly.

Gulu Xiaogui took him into the workshop and said, "It's been raining heavily these days, and it's not suitable to smelt bronze, so I thought about the loom. It's really easy to use your pattern. You see, I Even the rollers were taken out.”

Xin Qu looked at the loom in front of him and had an inexplicable illusion, as if he had returned to the scene when his grandma played with old objects when he was a child.

After trying it on the machine for a while, there are still some flaws, but it can basically perform the functions that a loom should have.

"It's not just this, there is this." Gulu Xiaogui squatted on the ground and shook the spinning machine at a constant speed. Under the rotation of the spinning machine, three small strands of hemp threads merged into one. Such threads were dense. And tight.

Gulu Xiaogui took the coiled stick and pulled out the thread in front of him, and then stretched it hard, his smile brightening: "With this thread in our hands, no matter what we make, it will be good every time! I I think we can make high-quality clothes! If this cloth is taken out, outsiders will definitely have to grab it.

The most important thing is that I also discovered that the spinning machine can spin wool!
look! "

Gulu Xiaogui secretly took out a small box from the corner and took out a ball of thread.

When Xin Qu saw these lines, his heart skipped a beat.

He hasn't taught the old man to try blending yet.

Has this old man begun to use his many years of life experience to draw inferences?

Should I say it or not, I am truly worthy of being a car builder.

Sure enough, the most highly integrated mechanical technology of any era is a car!

With excitement, he slowly pulled the thread in his hand with trembling hands.
