Chapter 21 You can't, but I can (first update, please recommend, please collect)
Seeing the head of the family walking over, everyone dispersed, and Sun Liu, who was surrounded by people, quickly saluted.

"The little one has met the eldest lady."

Glancing at Sun Liu, Yan Ruyu asked.

"Sun Liu, everyone said there was no fish today, what's going on?"

Looking at the river, she said again.

"There's nothing wrong with the river."

"Back to Miss, there is no problem in the river, just, that's..."

When asked by the eldest lady, Sun Liu murmured in embarrassment but was speechless.

Another fisherman next to him saw that he was silent, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Miss, it's not that there are no fish in the river, it's that the fish has been caught for several days, and this net will be useless if it is not dried!"

The fishermen who were surrounded said one after another.

"Miss, look at the nets that are drying over there. It has been broken in the past few days. The younger ones can't mend it even if they mend it all night. This net must be dried!"

When they said this, the people around them were immediately unhappy.

"Post the net, once you post the net, what shall we eat?"

"Isn't it, is it possible that we are going to starve?"

"Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, this is an ancient principle, there are people who fish without drying their nets..."

"You can put the net on the net, but who said that the fish in this river is enough for us to eat!"

Seeing that someone was intentional or unintentional, she pointed the finger at Shi Yiwen, Yan Ruyu's face darkened, and she said in a deep voice.

"There are things to talk about, no matter big or small, have you forgotten the rules in the village?"

When the scolding sounds sounded, those minions realized that the lady in front of her was indeed a young lady, but... she was also a master!
Just in time!
Shi Yiwen walked over and asked.

"Well, Sun Liu, right! Come and tell the eldest lady what is going on with this website?"

Needless to say, Shi Yiwen knew what was going on.

After the invention of nylon, fishing nets were made of hemp fibers, which swell easily when absorbing water, and are also perishable and easy to tear. Therefore, after two or three days of use, fishing nets have to be repaired in the sun for two days. This is actually for Extends the life of the fishing net.

"My lord, miss, this net must be exposed to the sun for at least two days before it can be used again, otherwise, this net will definitely be broken."

In case the eldest lady would not believe it, Sun Liu said again.

"If you don't believe me, go and tear off the net. After three days of use, it's almost soaked."

"Don't talk, I believe you!"

Sun Liu was taken aback for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment:
"Young master, I'm a vulgar person, I don't understand righteousness and injustice, but I know that if the old master didn't take us over from our hometown and give us a bite to eat, we would have starved to death by now. Conscience, the young master built this trawl net, and we thought about catching more fish to repay the old master's kindness, but now this net has been used for a few days, and it is almost soaked, and it really can't be used anymore."

Look how true this man is.

The smile on Shi Yiwen's face became even brighter. People in ancient times were really simple...

You all look and learn a little.

"This net must be dried, but why don't you fish more often...well, when you fish in the future, you can fish more and just pickle it with salt."

There is no freezer in this era, let's eat salted fish.

"Brother Stone..."

Yan Ruxue tugged at his sleeve, opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything.

"Kicked fish? We don't have that much salt here!"

Without waiting for others to speak, Yan Ruyu explained.

"Master Shi just came here, so I don't know about our situation."

"No salt?"

Shi Yiwen said in surprise.

"By the sea, there is no salt?"

Yang Tiansheng, who was standing beside him, glanced at him and said.

"Mr. Shi, not everyone knows how to make salt. Although we know that salt is boiled with sea water, it takes time and trouble to cook salt. No one in the village knows how to cook salt. Now the salt in the village is from Shengfan. What you get in exchange is enough to eat and use, if you want to pickle salted fish, you need to exchange more salt, but Shengfan is not a salt dealer, so it is estimated that there is not much extra salt for us to exchange, unless we cook it ourselves."

Boil the salt!

Dazed for a moment, Shi Yiwen thought to himself that during the Tianqi period, many salt fields in the Ming Dynasty were still at the stage of "cooking the sea into salt". Although the sun-dried salt method had been invented as early as the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the promotion of ancient technology was really lagging behind. It wasn't until the early Qing Dynasty that the sun-dried salt method was popularized on a large scale, and even until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Lianghuai salt field still mainly boiled salt.

Seeing Shi Yiwen's stunned look, Yang Tiansheng laughed, stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said:
"Mr. Shi, this has been specialized in art since ancient times. The salt cooking has to be done by the salt households. You don't know. There are three or six grades in the salt households. Generally, the salt households do it. Coolies, but those who can "make brine", just open their mouths next to them, and use their hands when needed. This skill of making brine is passed down from generation to generation, and outsiders can't learn it. Even if we make some salt, that salt can't It’s just that it can be used together…”

Looking at Yang Tiansheng with a smile, Zheng Yiguan felt so refreshed!
Boy, you have today too!
How does it taste deflated?
Suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared.Just listen to what Shi Yiwen said.

"Brine making? I can!"

what?
Although the words were not loud, the clear voice still reached everyone's ears. Zheng Yiguan stared at Shi Yiwen with wide eyes, and his expression changed a little.

His heart skipped a beat, he can make brine?

This is impossible.

The work of making brine... is a secret!

Could he really?
"You, really will!"

Yang Tiansheng opened his eyes wide.

"Can you make salt?"

"I will!"

Shi Yiwen said calmly.

Isn't that just making salt?What's the problem.Back then, I got a full score in chemistry in the college entrance examination, which was close to...

Everyone can see from Shi Yiwen's calm attitude that he is not talking outrageously.

"That……"

Zheng Yiguan, who opened his mouth slightly with a surprised expression, stared at Shi Yiwen for a while and was actually speechless.

He is afraid!

He was afraid of making a fool of himself again!

What if he really did?Isn't it just a joke.

But after thinking about it, Zheng Yiguan's heart moved, and he stepped forward and said.

"Oh, Mr. Shi is a great talent, I'm ashamed of myself, but, even if it is salted fish, there must be fish to pickle, right? Look, what should I do with the net now? It's just that it can't be helped by drying it like this. Drying the net, how can you catch fish?"

Zheng Yiguan's words made the atmosphere around him a little strange.Everyone once again turned their attention to Shi Yiwen.

And Yan Ruyu also looked straight at him... Could he be unexpected again?
"It's not easy. In the final analysis, there are not enough nets, so let's compile a few more nets. Sun Liu, how long will it take to compile a new net?"

After thinking about it, Shi Yiwen gestured.

"The mesh can be bigger, um, just as big as a palm, and small fish and shrimps are not needed. Make the net bigger, so that you can catch more fish in one net."

"My lord, if we work together, we can make a new net in half a day, but my lord, this net is too big to use thin rope."

Sun Liu said truthfully.

"Why use thin rope? Then use thick rope and directly use thick rope to weave a net."

"Thick rope..."

Zheng Yiguan suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Shi was joking. Just now, Sun Liu said that the nets are drying. Such a thin rope will take two days in the sun. A net made of thick rope will take five or six days to dry. The rope is too thick. The core of the rope is difficult to dry out, if the core is rotten, it will be ruined, and besides, the hemp rope itself is difficult to dry out."

Slow words came out of Zheng Yiguan's mouth. At this moment, he had a warm smile on his face, as if he was helping Shi Yiwen out of the siege.

His eyes fell on Zheng Yiguan, Shi Yiwen's face suddenly turned cold, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Who said you need to use hemp rope!"
