Chapter 40 Salt

Luo Ziqing did not see these.

"It's just the beginning of summer, and we still have a lot of time to prepare!" Aunt Hongye rubbed her hands as if she was going to do a big job.

"From tomorrow onwards, the females will go to collect fruit, and we will be responsible for hunting more wild beasts back! Do you agree?" Arthur was so excited that he directly jumped over Baidi and volunteered to arrange it.

"Okay!"

"That's it!"

Bai Di put his arms around his arms, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Although Arthur skipped him and arranged for him directly, he was not angry. Now it is such a happy and happy time, and everyone is full of expectations for the future. This kind of atmosphere is very good.

"Don't worry, everyone. We can only make dried fruits first. To make bacon and jerky, we must have salt. With our current strength, we can't do it." Luo Ziqing said regretfully.

"Salt? What is salt?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. They had never heard of this thing.

Bai Di had heard that there was such a thing, but he didn't know what it was.

But Priest Yasuo knew something about salt.

"Salt? I heard that only the Sea Clan in the Southern Continent has this kind of thing. Some big families will exchange them with excellent things." Priest Yasuo thought about it.

"Sea Clan from the Southern Continent?" Sea water... ah!correct!Luo Ziqing's eyes suddenly shone with stars, and she thought, "Sea water has salt, we can directly extract salt from sea water!"

"There is salt in seawater? Then, can our Moon Bay also extract salt?"

Luo Ziqing shook his head, "No, our Moon Bay is fresh water, and there is no salt in it. There is a lot of salt in the sea water, and the salt can be extracted by boiling the water dry."

She thought for a while, and then said: "Salt can not only be used to make preserved meat, but also the barbecue we usually eat, so that the taste will be more delicious, and our body also needs to be properly supplemented with salt, so that the body will be better and grow longer." Lack of salt intake in time will cause electrolyte imbalance, resulting in dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and poor skin elasticity."

At this moment, Aunt Hongye slapped the stone table and said, "No wonder I always feel tired! It turns out that I didn't eat salt!"

"What Hongye said is true. I also often feel dizzy and tired."

Several older females echoed.

Baidi turned his head and asked, "Then I haven't eaten salt either, why didn't I feel dizzy and weak?"

Some of the males also nodded, while the other thinner males also said they were weak.

Luo Ziqing thought for a while, "I think it should be that your males eat more flesh and blood. The flesh and blood of animals contains a very small amount of salt. Females eat less, which is not enough for the body's needs, so there will be a salt deficiency reaction. And you males eat a lot, so you don’t notice it obviously, like them, maybe they don’t eat as much as you, so they have symptoms.”

"So that's the case, so we can eat more meat, right?"

Luo Ziqing smiled lightly, "No, even though you eat a lot and have no obvious symptoms, your body still lacks salt. Only by eating enough salt will you be stronger, and if you really eat salt, you will be stronger." , Food without salt, you won’t even look at it again, hehe.”

Thinking of the salty meat, Luo Ziqing couldn't help swallowing.

"Is this far from the sea?" She asked Bai Di.

"It's not very far. It's almost three days' walk along the south side through the forest."

"Okay, then we will set off tomorrow, and while there is still enough time, we can make salt, so that we can stock up on food before the cold season comes!"

"How many people are needed?"

"You don't need too many people to cook salt. We will go for several days this time. Once you leave, the tribe still needs the protection of warriors. Arthur can just go with us."

Suoya originally thought that Luo Ziqing would choose her, but now she was unhappy, and hurriedly took her arm and shook it, "I want to go too, I want to go too! To such a far place, I will accompany you It's not better, and I'll do the heavy work, you just have to open your mouth!"

Luo Ziqing was dizzy from being shaken by her, so he quickly pulled her hand off, and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, you go too, you just have a companion, okay!"

"Yeah!" She jumped up from the ground happily.

Seeing Sonia's happy look, everyone shook their heads helplessly.

Here, Jia Luo hesitated to speak, she really wanted to go to make salt with Luo Ziqing.

Her disappointed look fell into Luo Ziqing's eyes, "Jia Luo."

Hearing Luo Ziqing calling out to him, Jia Luo shuddered and tensed his body: "I'm here!"

"We'll go for several days this time, and I'll leave the fruit collection to you! You're careful, I'm at ease!"

Jia Luo, who was originally lost, thought that Luo Ziqing had forgotten her, but now that she entrusted such an important matter to herself, Jia Luo nodded excitedly, "Yes, you just need to rest assured!"

Luo Ziqing smiled with satisfaction, "After the fruit is collected, wash it clean, and then take advantage of the hot sun during the day, cut the fruit into thin slices, spread it on clean pebbles and expose it to the sun, and when it is dry, take it back and seal it in a clean bamboo tube , When we come back from making salt, I will teach you how to make clay pots."

Jia Luo wrote down the steps she arranged one by one in her heart, "Okay, I wrote it down! I will make dried fruits with Aunt Hongye and the others and wait for you to come back!"

"Oss, you don't need to hunt too many prey back. Before we come back, you can just do as usual. There is no salt. If you bring back the prey now, it will be broken."

"Yes."

During the whole process, Baidi watched her quietly and arranged everything without disturbing or objecting. Everything she said and did was the most correct decision, even more thoughtful than the leader he thought.All this made him obsessed.

Early the next morning, the four gathered in the square.

"Don't we need to bring anything?" Arthur asked, scratching his head.Anyway, to make salt, so empty-handed?

"No, I'm ready." She made two shovels out of bamboo slices last night, and took out two stone pots and put them in the space. She also keeps other things in the space on weekdays. Whatever you need to use at that time, just take it out.

Arthur and Sonia looked her up and down round and round, seeing nothing, looked at each other and shook their heads in doubt.

"Okay, don't guess and let's go!" Seeing that they still wanted to do some research, Baidi directly ordered to set off.

After speaking, he strode towards Luo Ziqing for two steps, his diameter changed back to a beast shape, and he shook the hair on his body. The white emperor who turned back into a beast shape retained some primitive habits. Beside Luo Ziqing, he had a pink nose Unconsciously sniffing her pleasant smell, my heart softened into a piece of clear water.
