Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Chapter 42 Cooking Salt
The fishing came to an end for the time being, and Wen Xian focused on refining fine salt.

These days, driven by fresh water and fine salt, the reservoir is full.Even the newly dug reservoir next to it, which was twice the size, was filled to the brim.

Therefore, coarse salt is naturally indispensable for cooking.

The method of refining fine salt is very simple. First, dissolve the collected coarse salt into water, and then add the prepared plant ash to the water.

When it is stirred thoroughly, impurities will precipitate out.At this point, you have to filter out the impurities with a cloth.

The water used to refine the fine salt is the water stored these days.If there is no pot, this step will be carried out in an earthen pot.

The cloth used for filtering is made by sewing together outer shirts.

After the first pass of filtration, the brine still needs to stand for a period of time to allow it to fully contact with the air.After this, impurities will precipitate again, and secondary filtration will be performed.

After the secondary filtration is completed, the brine that has been filtered twice is distilled to obtain the fine salt of Baihuahua.

The earthen stove was still distilling fresh water, so Wen Xian directly lit the fire and set up the earthen pot, boiled and distilled the water in the earthen pot, and finally got half a pot of refined salt.

Half a pot of refined salt, eat sparingly, it will definitely be fine if you eat it for half a year.As long as they don't make bacon or bacon.

Bacon consumes salt, but it is also an indispensable way to preserve the meat.

In order to be able to eat meat without going out in winter, Wen Xian decided to refine fine salt from time to time in the future.

After all, in addition to making bacon and bacon, you also have to account for the losses caused by improper storage.

Moreover, salt is a necessity and it never expires, so there is no harm in saving more.If given the chance, it can also be used to exchange items with others.

Wen Xian stared at the half-pot of fine salt with a thoughtful expression on her face. Her thoughts had already gone to the sky, but the chatter of voices woke her up.

Wu Junlan praised without hesitation: "Madam is really a god, she can even refine refined salt. If it can be popularized, people in this world will have no need to worry about not having salt to eat."

Especially the army, only when it has salt to eat can it have the strength to fight.If the army could produce its own refined salt, why bother waiting to ask the court to allocate grain and salt?

Jiang Jingwan said quietly: "Selling illegal salt is a capital crime that implicates the nine clans."

Wu Junlan:......

It’s over, I’m so chatty.

Wen Xian said in time: "It's just a last resort to get salt. The most important thing for us now is to find something suitable to store these fine salts."

With so much salt, if it gets destroyed by moisture, it will really make you sick to death.

As for the army and the people, she couldn't care about it.There is a saying that if you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world.

It's hard for her to be alone now, so she doesn't have the time to worry about that.

Jiang Lingling waved her fist to cheer herself up: "There are still many places that I haven't looked for yet. I'll just go into the mountains to look for bamboo."

She had to be useful so that she could keep up with Madam.

"Why do you have to use bamboo?" Zheng Rou looked puzzled, "I think it's okay to use an earthen pot, or maybe dig a hole in the wood for storage."

She felt that Madam was obsessed with bamboo and that her heart and eyes were full of bamboo.

Hu Keer took over the words: "The points are still open, and some are put in each method. The eggs cannot be put in one basket. If there is no one here, there will be another one."

Speaking of this, she felt slightly sad, thinking that when she was in the palace, even if she used jade pots or gold pots to hold things, she would not feel bad, let alone consider the issue of separate insurance.

Now, if we are just trying to survive, we not only have to worry about food and drink, but we also have to take precautions and prevent risks.

Fang Jiaren agreed: "You are right, let's divide our troops into three groups. Some will continue to look for bamboo in the mountains, some will dig soil to make earthen pots, and the rest will carve wooden sticks in the holes."

It's always faster to move separately, even if you don't find bamboo there are others. "Yes." Jiang Jingwan nodded in agreement, "It's not convenient for me and the fourth child, so we can carve wood in the cave. You can allocate the rest among yourself."

She was pregnant, and even if she wanted to, no one else would allow her to venture into the mountains.

Zhou Hui injured her foot. Although the wound has scabbed, it has not fully recovered and it is inconvenient to go out.

The two of them were carving wooden jars in the hole, and they could make one no matter what.

Jiang Jingwan turned her head and looked at Wen Xian: "What do you think of this arrangement, madam?"

Wen Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "That's great."

Finally, she is no longer a weak concubine who makes love every now and then and cries.

Although I still feel tired after working for a while, and my work is still extremely slow, I have made great progress.

In this way, even if she is not here, they will not starve to death.

As arranged, Wen Xian went to find the Bamboo Team.This time, besides her and Jiang Lingling, there were also Xia Zhi and Wu Junlan who went to the mountains to look for bamboo.

She left the dagger with Jiang Jingwan and Zhou Hui, and went out with the big knife on her shoulder.

Seeing her carrying the knife so casually, Wu Junlan's eyelids jumped, and she quickly said: "Let me get the knife, madam. I have learned some boxing and kicking skills from my father and brother in the past, so I won't accidentally hurt myself."

She was really afraid that the knife would accidentally slip and hurt Wen Xian.

Wen Xian paused slightly, pointed at herself and said in disbelief: "You mean I will hurt myself?"

She wrapped a long section of the blade with grass and vines, and, fearing an accident, she always carried the blade on its back.

Wu Junlan quickly shook her head and denied: "No, madam, I'm just afraid that madam will be tired."

"It's no problem." Wen Xian waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "This knife is not heavy. It can be carried easily. There is no need to worry."

She cherished her life very much, how could she not pay attention to her own safety.

Seeing this, Wu Junlan had no choice but to give up and could only keep an eye on Wen Xian so that she could discover any accidents as soon as possible.

Due to many previous failures, Wen Xian decided not to take the usual route this time. Instead of going directly to the mountains, she followed the seaside and first came to the other side of the mountains.

The other side of the mountain is where Jiang Jingwan picked up the baggage.

The water there is very fast and they rarely go there.

Walking along the seaside and looking at the steep mountain road, Jiang Lingling couldn't help but ask: "Are we going in from here?"

Wen Xian nodded without hesitation and said: "Come in, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. This place is destined to us. Maybe we can get what we want if we enter the mountain from here."

"Madam, do you believe it?" Xia Zhi said suddenly.

Wen Xian paused and said with a serious look: "Zi Buyu has strange powers and chaos, it's just a woman's sixth sense."

She didn't want these delicate beauties to scare her every day.

Xia Zhi gave her an unclear look, then followed her into the woods.

Wen Xian's expression remained unchanged and she still maintained her serious face.

Only she knows how weak she is in her heart. After all, she got here by relying on her strange power.

And to say that this place is destined to be fateful, it is true...
