A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 487

In the middle of the night, when the night wind on the side of the salt lake wiped the face with salty wetness, it was sticky and weird.

Lang Mo got up and began to prepare for the night's work. When he caught a glimpse of Jiang Qing, "Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, it's just that the salty wind has been blowing for a long time, and I feel uncomfortable all over." Jiang Qing shook her head slightly, it's not a question of whether she's tired or not, the side of the salt lake is even more uncomfortable than the seaside.There is a strong salty and damp smell in the wind. After smelling it for a long time, everything I eat feels salty, and even the coating on my tongue is about to fail.

Lang Mo raised his hand, tapped Jiang Qing's head lightly, and said with a smile, "No way, this salt lake is no better than the sand lake on the side of the Wind Tribe, why don't you hug your head and try?"

Jiang Qing raised her eyebrows, smiled, and said angrily: "Forget it, what's the matter with holding your head?"

The fun of ridicule disappeared in the blink of an eye, but I felt sweet and warm in my heart.She is very content to be held in the palm of her hand by someone who cherishes so much.

Staring at Lang Mo's slender figure, he couldn't help being fascinated.Taking a deep breath, and brushing away all the complicated thoughts, the two cooperated tacitly and started to act.

As the night deepened, the two of them left the concentrated salt water to stand and then filtered it with sackcloth, and poured pots of salt water into the pot to boil.She doesn't know how to build a salt field, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome. The temperature of Taoyuan is suitable, and drying salt is actually very convenient, but unfortunately she doesn't know much, so she has to spend a lot of trouble to cook it.

Although it is troublesome, the result is very gratifying.

In the middle of the night, the two collected more than [-] catties of snow-white salt. Jiang Qing had seen that the salt was in good condition.It is very clean, and it can be ground into powder with a mill when you go back. It can be eaten directly as fine salt, but it has a bit of a bitter taste.The taste is slightly worse than the current food eaten by the tribe. After all, the salt eaten by the tribe has been processed by Jiang Qing and the others, and it is boiled with salt blocks, so it is naturally slightly better than the salt boiled.

Pour the concentrated salt water into the pot again, Jiang Qing couldn't help but started to yawn.At this moment, the sky was faintly white.

At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps in the cave.

After a while, Lance and Cao met and came out. He seemed to be in good spirits. Seeing Jiang Qing looking tired, Cao lifted up his sleeves and said to Lang Mo: "Patriarch, take Jiang Qing to the meeting, and I will leave it to you here." Lance and I will just keep watch."

Seeing Jiang Qing's sleepy expression, Lang Mo nodded.

After explaining the process in detail, he led Jiang Qing into the cave. He might add some stoves tomorrow. If the iron pot was not enough, he would use clay pots to make up for it, and get as much fine salt as possible.After all, people have come here, so they are naturally reluctant to enter Baoshan but return empty-handed.

"Grass, Lance will trouble you next time! Let's go to bed first." Jiang Qing said in a hurry, her eyelids began to fight, she was extremely tired!

Grass waved his hand and smiled as he agreed.

Boiling salt is not a troublesome job, just keep an eye on the fire and pack the fine salt in time.Pour the concentrated salt water into the pot, add firewood, and repeat, which is a bit boring.

There was nothing to say all night, when Jiang Qing woke up again.

In the wooden shed outside the cave, everyone was very busy.

Jiang Qing owed her waist, and now three more stoves were added to the wooden shed, but because there was no extra pot, she had to use clay pots for cooking.And the animal skin bag that originally contained fine salt contained a lot, and there were about forty to fifty catties of fine salt at a rough scan.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Jiang Qing rolled up her sleeves, stuffed two mint leaves into her mouth, chewed for a while, spit out the mint leaves and rinsed her mouth with water.I wiped my face casually, there was not much water, so I had to save it, I took a coconut from the side and poked it open and drank it.

Su Li jokingly said: "The patriarch sees that you are sleeping soundly, why would you want us to wake you up?" As soon as the joking words were uttered, everyone immediately laughed.

Jiang Qing shrugged, ignored Su Li's joke, and glanced at the place where the wooden shed was close to the cave, and there was not much salt.At this moment, I didn't see Lang Mo and the others, maybe I went to the salt lake to transport the salt soil, there was a lot of water-soluble salt soil standing in the wooden basin next to it, all of which had been filtered two or three times, and they were just waiting to be boiled in the pot.

"It's progressing well, so much has been cooked!" Jiang Qing randomly found a place to sit down, Cao Cao took out a large bowl of barbecue from the side of the stove, and held two hard-boiled eggs in her hand, handed it over, and said: "Eat something first, the patriarch and the others went to transport the salt soil."

"En!" Jiang Qing responded.

He took the straw and handed it to the barbecue and hard-boiled eggs, and lowered his head to eat.

The light rain turned into moderate rain. Fortunately, a deep ditch was dug outside the wooden shed, so that the accumulated water outside would not flow back into the cave and wet the inside of the cave.

Not long after, Lang Mo and his party came from the side of the salt lake carrying baskets of salt soil.

Soon, the part of the wooden shed was filled with salt soil.

On this side, Cao Cao and the others quickly poured the salt soil they carried back into the lake water to dissolve and filter it.

After a series of movements, Jiang Qing tidied up her movements neatly, and Jiang Qing took some time to sit and eat while watching everyone's familiar movements.The cooperation is very tacit, there is almost no need to speak, and everything is coordinated very orderly.

"According to this progress, we can cook hundreds of catties of half-fine salt when we return to Taoyuan." Su Li said happily, staring at the snow-white half-fine salt, Su Li's heart was filled with a deep sense of satisfaction.She still remembers the first time she saw Jiang Qing smearing barbecued meat with salt cubes in the Forest of Death, and the wonderful taste was still fresh in her memory.

Every time he cooks, Su Li doesn't dare to waste salt.I am afraid that I will never have the chance to taste that delicious and slightly salty taste in the future. Every time, I am cautious.

For them, salt is a gift from the beast god Jiang Qing'en.

This gift is to be cherished by all like precious food.No one was willing to waste it, and now looking at the snow-white salt, Su Li was extremely happy!
"Hmm! It is indeed possible." Jiang Qing bowed her head. The speed was a little slow at first, but now that the speed has increased, she can naturally cook the salt faster.Boiling hundreds of catties of salt is not a joke, but it is indeed possible. Thinking that they will be able to carry hundreds of catties and a half of fine salt back to Taoyuan, everyone feels their hearts burning.

"That's great!" Cao said excitedly.

Ya's cold face rarely showed a smile after hearing the words, and said with a smile: "Even if you take out a part of the hundreds of catties and a half of fine salt and go to the market to barter, the rest will be enough to support the tribe for more than half a year."

"Oh! It's rare to hear Ya talk so much, let me see if the sky is going to clear up outside?" Su Li teased, walked outside the wooden shed and looked up at the dark sky.

The corner of Ya's mouth twitched, and he turned around, too lazy to talk to Su Li, who didn't have any rules.Su Li's mouth is well-known in the tribe, if she breaks up with her, sooner or later she will be half-dead from anger.

Colin saw that Mocha's expression was wrong, so he quickly pulled Suri behind him, and told her that Mocha's expression was wrong.If he continued, he couldn't protect her.Who told him not to be Mocha's opponent, don't let the two of them be dealt with by Mocha at that time, it will be a lot of fun at that time.
