Daming One Piece

Chapter 56 Turning Decay into Miracle (Second update, please recommend, please collect)
Sour smell!
A strong sour smell filled the air, in order to avoid that smell, Shi Yiwen even retreated to a distance on purpose, Yan Ruyu stood beside him, looking at Zheng Zhifeng who was vomiting in the dark, she asked.

"This should be okay?"

"Uh……"

Shi Yiwen smiled.

"I do not know either!"

"Then, why did you let him smell the footcloth?"

The next answer made Yan Ruyu dumbfounded.

"It might help!"

In fact, until now, Shi Yiwen didn't know what happened to Zheng Zhifeng.Just a handful of salt?It wasn't the brine that Huang Shiren drank.

The brine is deadly, and this kind of bitter salt is deadly, but the problem is the dosage!
Is it salty?
The sudden change made everyone dumbfounded.Chen De came over in astonishment and asked.

"Master Shi, this salt, this salt, can really eat the dead?"

"can!"

Shi Yiwen nodded.

The people who were still skeptical before, seeing the appearance of the brothers of the Zheng family, did not dare to have the slightest doubt. Even the minions who made a fuss before were dumbfounded. Many people felt uncomfortable, why are they uncomfortable? Well, these days they are not eating that kind of bitter salt.

"Then, let's eat this salt!"

Chen De swallowed his saliva, and when he came here, what he ate was bitter salt, which he bought from Shengfan.

By the way, why didn't the students die?
When Chen De cast his eyes on Barris, Shi Yiwen said.

"Don't look at them. This salt may poison people to death, but it also depends on the dosage. Salt is bitter, not because the salt is poisonous, but because the impurities in it have not been removed, so the salt is bitter."

Shi Yiwen's words made Chen De ask quickly.

"What does that son mean, is this salt still edible?"

"You can eat it, but you have to deal with it."

After thinking about it, Shi Yiwen said.

"If I'm not wrong, they missed a process when making salt, so the salt is bitter. Fortunately, we didn't use this salt to marinate fish, otherwise people might really die!"

"Young master, this, this... Is there a way to remedy this process?"

Looking at the earnest Chen De, Shi Yiwen sighed, then turned to see Yan Ruyu again, her eyes were also full of anticipation.

"That's right, Brother Shi, the entire village must eat salt."

In fact, in the past, they also ate the same salt, but now they saw that someone was almost poisoned to death, so how dare they eat this bitter salt again.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Shi Yiwen thought for a while, and then said.

"Bring ten mats and buckets."

……

When he was busy over there, Zheng Yiguan didn't even look at it. Nothing is important now. That's why he didn't stuff the foot wrap back into his mouth.

"Big brother..."

Zheng Zhifeng, who had already vomited half his life, was completely exhausted. He was sweating profusely as if vomited out of the water, and murmured,
"what?"

"Really, it stinks..."

Before he could finish speaking, he took another breath... of air.

It really stinks.

"Is your stomach still hurting?"

"No, it doesn't hurt anymore!"

Zheng Zhifeng waved his hands again and again, and when he moved towards the foot cloth, his eyes were full of fear, that thing really stinks!

He who came back to transport his soul, he was afraid that his elder brother would stuff the dirty and smelly foot wrap into his mouth again, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Brother, what are they doing?"

"It's nothing, it's just to make the salt non-toxic, no, it's to turn the bitter salt into good salt."

Seeing the bitterness on his brother's face, Zheng Yiguan comforted him.

"Third brother, this matter... Hey, I was careless on my brother's behalf!"

It's not careless, what can I do, it's really careless!

Knowing that boiling salt is a technical job, but still force himself to let the third child do it, thinking that he can cook salt after he has read the book, and the salt is boiled, but this salt... is it for human consumption?

Hey, shame on me!
"Careless? Ah, yes, it's careless..."

Zheng Zhifeng stood up, stared at Shi Yiwen and the others who were busy over there, and said.

"I'll have to see, though, to see how he turns bitter salt into good salt."

Zheng Zhifeng doesn't understand!
Until now, I don’t understand why the salt he boiled is bitter and can kill me. My stomach hurts at that time!
"Yes, it's worth it, after all, he saved your life,"

When he said these words, Zheng Yiguan's mood was so complicated!

Today... shame!

Not only did he fail to be that kid, he even got a favor.

When Zheng Yiguan and Zheng Zhifeng approached, they saw a wooden shelf, on which was a multi-layered platform bound with wood and bamboo, and each platform was covered with mats.

"Crush the salt cubes and spread them on the mat."

When Shi Yiwen ordered people to work, Zheng Zhifeng walked over and bowed.

"Master Shi, thank you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Yiwen turned around and smiled.

"never mind?"

"Well, it's all right, thank you just now for saving my life, young master?"

In any case, he owed this life-saving grace.Zheng Zhifeng, who was in a complicated mood, looked at the wooden frame bed and asked.

"Master Shi, I don't know what this is?"

"Show the bed."

Shi Yiwen explained.

"Actually, the salt you boiled is not bad, it's just that there are a few processes missing, and a filtration and purification process is missing, so there are too many impurities in it. Those impurities are less harmful to people, but if Too much, but it can hurt people's lives..."

When answering Zheng Zhifeng's question, Shi Yiwen didn't hide the slightest bit. This is not a secret in itself. In fact, in the process of frying salt, the cooperation of the stove household is needed. Some of the key procedures, from making brine, especially checking the temperature of the fire, are all important. It is a technique that can only be mastered after being familiar with the operation.For these relatively high-level craftsmen in the kitchen, this is their unique craft for a living, and it cannot be easily disclosed.

In fact, the slow progress of ancient times is directly related to this kind of "preserving oneself with a broom". Many craftsmen maintain technological monopoly through such secrecy and even pretending to be mysterious. What is the monopoly?It is the "eating business" of father and son handed down from father to son, and son to grandson.Take salt production as an example. China until the Manchu Dynasty mainly used fried salt. The reason why the sun-dried salt method could not be popularized is because if it is changed to sun-dried, the skills of a large number of people in the past will be useless and affect their vital interests. .Therefore, they must do everything possible to resist reform. The so-called "conservative forces" have their roots here.

"Now we put the salt on the frame bed, and then sprinkle it with salt water from top to bottom. In fact, before frying the salt in the salt field, they will pick out a spare "sprinkling brine", which is now in handy. Well, we didn't drench the brine, so we used high-concentration brine to pour the brine on the shower rack and soaked it layer by layer. The brine itself is a nearly saturated brine solution, so after sprinkling, the salt on the mat Most of it will not dissolve again, but the already small amount of impurity salt such as magnesium chloride will dissolve again, and the purity of the salt will be further improved through the process of brine rinsing, and the salt can be eaten at this time.”

In fact, this craft seems to be advanced, but it is actually just a junior high school chemistry problem. Of course, Shi Yiwen doesn't know how to explain the reasoning, just tell them how to do it.

"Okay, Barris, pour some water."

Listening to the instructions, Barris poured a bucket of strong salt water onto the shower bed while everyone was watching.
