Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 38 Destination

What can Mei Qian do?
That is to say, heat and evaporate the water. At the moment, she doesn't have any chemical purification methods such as baking soda or alkaline water. She can only slightly filter the salt from her breasts, which already looks good in color.

"Ah, can this filter out the salt?"

At this time, except for the uncle and nephew who were rowing the boat, everyone in Lao Mei's family was watching how Mei Qian got the lost salt back.

It was just a filtering process. Han's mind was already spinning and she couldn't help but ask if salt could be obtained in this way. Mei Qian only replied: "I just remove the dirt in advance."

After hearing Mei Qian's words, everyone became honest again. Li Baizhou, who helped Mei Qian light the fire, was also curious about Mei Qian's behavior. Mei Qian only put the filtered water in the pot to boil.

During this period, Mrs. Mei also asked: "Is this all right?"

Mei Qian looked at the large pot of water. It would take a long time to boil. She couldn't help but feel impatient while waiting. So Mei Qian kept stirring the water. When she saw that the top edge of the pot was slightly white, Mei Qian used her chopsticks again. He scraped it there and handed it to Mrs. Mei.

Mrs. Mei didn't know why, so Mei Qian said, "Taste the milk."

Mrs. Mei followed Mei Qian's action and licked it slightly, her eyes widened immediately, and she said in disbelief: "Salty!?"

"Yes." Mei Qian nodded, "When the water in this pot is gone, the salt will naturally appear."

Now that she understood what Mei Qian meant, Mrs. Mei looked at the pot of water like a treasure and said, "Can there be salt in this?"

"It's not raw milk. The salt has not disappeared in the water. It's still there. We just need to find a way to separate the water from it."

Mei Qian tried to keep it simple, but this involved the physical changes of water, so Mei Qian couldn't say more, lest the more she talked, the more her family would have to wonder how she knew.

"So that's it."

Just as Mei Qian said this, Mrs. Mei was thoughtful and didn't ask any more questions.

But Han was obviously what Mei Qian thought, so he was surprised and asked how Mei Qian knew this.

Mei Qian just said lightly that she had seen cooking at home, and when it was put out, there was still some leftover at the bottom of the pot. When it was her turn to wash the pot and dishes after the meal, she discovered that the little vegetable juice at the bottom of the pot had dried up.

Mei Qian only said that she was a little reluctant to part with it, so she used a little to pick up a layer of skin from the bottom of the pot. She couldn't help it and unexpectedly discovered that it had a salty taste.

"So that's it~"

Han is the best to fool, "So you girl is more greedy than me, so you eat all that stuff?"

Mei Qian: "..."

What does this say?

Mei Qian twitched her lips and smiled awkwardly: "Weren't you still young at that time?"

Although the others also had doubts, they were not interested in delving into it at the moment. Everyone was eagerly watching to see if there was really salt in the pot.

Sure enough, as the water in the pot boiled, it became less and less. At the same time, the pot began to become turbid. Finally, white crystals visible to the naked eye sank into the water.

"Ah! Really! Really salty! Oh my god, it's so white!"

Mei Qian really admired Han's voice. He could shout it out anytime and anywhere. A group of people couldn't even pretend to be dead.

Especially Mrs. Mei, she was even more surprised and confused when she looked at the white salt!
She wanted to fool her but she heard Li Baizhou's uncalm voice: "This, this is how this snowflake salt is produced?"

Li Baizhou was no longer calm, and Mei Qian was frightened by the other party's words!
"Ah, I don't know about this, either? The first time I tried it was like this..."

Mei Qian refused to admit that this was how the "snowflake salt" in Li Baizhou's mouth came out. Mrs. Mei also trembled her lips and said nothing.

But no one present knew why everyone was shocked!

"The cheapest salt on weekdays costs several ounces for a small jar, and the snowflake salt...a small jar costs 2 taels of silver."

After Jiang finished speaking, she covered her chest with her hands and exclaimed: "In the end, this is all about a few bundles of firewood?"

Huge profits!

Similar words flashed through everyone's minds, and Li Baizhou added: "The snowflake salt here only costs two taels?"

Mei Qian looked like he was taking advantage of Li Baizhou, with a shocked look on his face. Mei Qian thought to herself that this guy probably paid more than this for the snowflake salt.

However, there are not many people like Mei Qian who save face. Her aunt Han replied directly: "Yes~ but sometimes it is a little more expensive in bad years. Why, isn't your snowflake salt the same price?"

Although he didn't know where Li Baizhou was from, he obviously found that the salt prices were different, but Han didn't realize that Li Baizhou was shocked because of the huge gap in salt prices.

Li Baizhou opened his mouth with difficulty and said, "For those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, it is said that this jar costs more than ten taels."

Mei Qian: 0.0
Mist grass!

For a moment, Mei Qian didn't know whether she wanted to lament that the old man who was an official was rich, or whether she wanted to say that they were really wronged! "Perhaps the snowflake salt of the wealthy officials and us ordinary people are not the same thing. In addition to being the same white, I guess there are other benefits?"

In fact, Mrs. Mei was thinking the same thing as Mei Qian. What kind of take advantage of these rich people?
But for Li Baizhou's sake, Mrs. Mei also spoke a little more gently. She must have been her eldest uncle, and she carried out her bad words to the very end, muttering: "Can you become an immortal after eating so expensively?"

Mei Qian: "..."

Li Baizhou: "..."

"Tsk!" Mrs. Mei glared at Mr. Han and told her to stop talking. Ms. Han immediately shut up and continued to stare at the precipitated white salt.

"It looks less than when it was salted."

Mei Qian also noticed that the water in the pot was almost dry, so she stopped adding firewood and used the remaining heat to dry the water in the pot.

After shoveling it with a shovel, Mei Qian said, "It's less salty than before."

"Less is better than nothing, and it's all good salt..."

Mrs. Mei stepped forward and stared at the pot of white salt, her eyes lovingly as if looking at some treasure, and sighed: "I haven't eaten such good salt in many years~"

Mrs. Mei muttered, Mei Qian couldn't help but glance at her breasts, and she was stared at by the vigilant Mrs. Mei.

Mei Qian turned her head silently, okay, her milk has a story.

Mei Qian put the freshly baked white salt into a bamboo tube under the gaze of everyone at home, and then offered it to her with both hands.

There was still a small handful in the pot, and Mei Qian's intention was already clear, she wanted to keep it with her small bag of food.

Mrs. Mei took the bamboo tube containing the snowflake salt and hummed again: "Put it carefully."

After saying that, she agreed with Mei Qian's approach.

Just thinking of the method of making the salt, Mrs. Mei's eyes flashed with worry. She looked up at Li Baizhou and saw that Li Baizhou was also staring at Mei Qian with an incomprehensible expression.

"Where is this ship planning to go?"

After being on the boat for so long, Li Baizhou seemed to have just remembered to ask Qimei's family where they planned to go.

"In the south, we have to cross the Yuanjiang River anyway."

Mei Qian cleaned up the boiler at the stern of the boat before answering. She turned to look at Li Baizhou and asked, "What about you?"

"I plan to go to the capital."

"Oh my god!" Mrs. Mei's face changed when she heard this, "Are you crazy? The Xirong soldiers are going all the way to the capital. Maybe by the time you get there, there will be a war in the capital!"

Mrs. Mei looked at Li Baizhou's somewhat stubborn face and couldn't help but persuade him.

Mei Qian was even more rude and said: "If you go to the capital, we won't go. As I told you before, either listen to our family and go together, or find a place and go down by yourself."

"I know, so just put me down when your canal reaches the Qianxian River section. My family members are all in the capital."

After Li Baizhou said this, his family members all moved out. What could Mei Qian and Mrs. Mei say?
But they both kept their mouths shut, but Han still couldn't help but ask: "At such a dangerous time, is it possible for your family to wait for you to come back before escaping? Maybe your family will be gone if you go back." He just ran away."

After Han finished speaking, Mei Qian and Mrs. Mei both turned to look at her.

What were you saying at this time?

Since the other party said this, it means that most of his family members have not left.

"I, am I not worried about this child? He is alone outside in the chaos of war..."

Being stared at by her mother-in-law, Han scoffed and explained the reason in a low voice.

Li Baizhou also raised his hand to express his gratitude, saying only that he had made up his mind and must return to the capital.

Mei Qian also wanted to open her mouth to persuade her to stay like her aunt, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she just stared at Li Baizhou and asked in a low voice, "How long does it take to get to Qian County from here?"

"If we go downstream at this speed, we still have about five days."

　Mei Qian: It’s over. The chef is not good enough. Is he leaving now?

　　Li Baizhou: Wait for me to come back.

　　Mei Qian: I wonder if I can catch another one on the way.

　　Li Baizhou:? ? ?
