Doom Girl Must Die
Chapter 24: burnt salt
"Well, why can't Baron Quint buy white salt?" Black Rock Territory is the second neighbor who travels a day and a night from Storm Territory. Narant doesn't know what happened in Quint Territory, so he is far away from the serfs. Some curious, even three times the tax, it doesn't cost too much salt to salt the fish.
"My lord, I can't buy it anymore, Baron Quint..." Kemppi Cow Dung carefully explained what happened yesterday.
"Refused to sell white salt to Storm Collar? Even the tax on the sale has been doubled?" After hearing this, Narant, who was still in the presence of the old god, suddenly became angry. This was too deceiving.
"This bastard! Sooner or later, I will let him know why the flowers are so red!" Normally, a good relationship will be established between noble neighbors.
After all, distant relatives are not as good as near neighbors. In case of any danger, nobles can also form an offensive and defensive alliance. Now that Storm has a lord, Quint even wants to sew wool on them, which simply doesn't take him as a lord seriously.
"Sir, calm down!" At this moment, Thomas brought a cup of tea made with tulip powder. "My lord, I heard the aristocratic lords talk about it at the Tulip Castle ball before, saying that this Baron Quint is notoriously mean and mean! He is not only mean to the serfs, but also to the nobles!"
"Last time, Baron Delin from Tulip Collar went to it to buy white salt, but after he bought it, he found that it was mixed with a lot of sand!"
As a servant of the Tulip Castle, Thomas had also heard a lot of interesting things the nobles were talking about, and he told Narant about it right away.
"Huh? He is so bitter and mean, and there are nobles who go to him to buy white salt?" The transactions between nobles are still fraudulent, and after that reputation spreads, I am afraid that no nobles will trade with him.
"My lord, there is no way to do this. Baron Quint has three elves that have opened a salt mine, so the nobles who have no salt mine nearby can only go to him to buy white salt. After all, salt mine elves are relatively rare. !"
"My lord, according to rumors, Baron Quint is the illegitimate son of Earl Black Iron. Although the canonized territory is relatively remote, the three salt mine elves were given to him by Earl Black Iron, so this Baron Quint is actually more than the average viscount. To be rich."
"The Count's illegitimate son? Salt mine elf!" Suddenly, Narant reflected that there seemed to be no naturally formed mineral deposits under the world, and both iron ore and gold mine were bred from yellow elf.
"Then have you ever heard of someone using seawater to make salt?" Narant suddenly asked a few people.
The people who heard the words looked at each other, Thomas was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Sir, white salt is also a mineral, and it is also transformed from the yellow elf! Although the sea is also salty, it doesn't seem like it can be turned into salt!"
Thomas reminded as quietly as possible to avoid damaging the majesty of his own adults.
This time, it was Narant's turn to look weird. In the past life, sea salt accounted for the largest proportion of the salt people ate.
But this world also has an endless sea, and people actually only rely on the elves of the salt mine to get well salt for food.
"Thomas, what is the market price of white salt per pound?"
"My lord, it's basically ten cents a pound, unless you go directly to a territory with salt mines like the Baron of Quint to buy it, usually five coppers a pound, but that price is only for the caravan sent by the nobles, the commoners. You can't buy cheap." Thomas replied immediately.
"Ten cents a pound is as expensive as wheat?" Narant felt incredible when he heard the words. In his previous life, only one or two yuan of salt was a pack, which was enough for a long time.
Narant slapped the armrest of the chair and stood up, "Thomas, go and bring a big pot to the carriage, the bigger the better, and another tablecloth and a few wooden basins!"
Although the minerals in this world are all transformed by elves, Narant felt that since the seawater is salty, it should also contain salt.
So, he wanted to give it a try. If salt could be extracted from the sea as in the previous life, then he would let that Quint cry and sing conquest.
"Yes, my lord!" Although he didn't know what his lord wanted to do, Thomas still obeyed.
Soon, two carriages drove from the baron's castle to the village of doom.
……
"Kenby Cow Dung, find some sturdy serfs!" At the entrance of Doom Village, Narant ordered to Kempi.
Soon, Kenby brought several serfs to the seaside.
There are two ways to make sea salt in the past. The first is to use firewood to burn seawater to obtain sea salt.
The second is to use the salt field to make sea salt.
As for the second type of drying sea salt, Narant obviously has no way to do it now. After all, the beach is all occupied by murlocs, so he can only choose to use firewood to burn it.
Fortunately, this world lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of green mountains and rivers, and large tracts of forests have not yet been cultivated.
He instructed a few serfs to set up a simple stove, pick up firewood, and scoop up seawater, and Narant's salt-burning in this other world officially began.
"Sir, are you going to cook something? Do you want to go back to the village to get two pieces of fish!" Kenby Cow Dung shrank his head and looked at the empty cauldron with only sea water, and was courteous.
Snapped!
Quick gave Kenby Cow Dung a head-scratcher with his backhand. The lord of his own family was doing a big job, and the cow dung with no ambitions only knew how to eat it.
Although he didn't know what the big thing the lord was doing, it was definitely not for food.
Kenby Cow Dung became honest after being beaten with a head, and kept watching the seawater in the cauldron burn less and less.
"Well, you guys, take this cloth, filter the water in the iron pot and pour it into the wooden basin!" Seeing that a quarter of the seawater was burned, Narant commanded a few people.
Soon, a few people quickly began to filter the sea water with a tablecloth.
Although the tablecloth is not silk, it is also a delicate linen that can be used by nobles, so the filtering effect is still good~www.readwn.com~ I quickly filtered out a dark brown turbidity.
"Well, pour it over and continue to burn!"
The filtered seawater continued to be put into the pot, and this time it took a longer time to burn.
When the sea water was burned like thick gruel, red and white crystals had appeared around the iron pot.
"Okay! This time, I will dump all the water in the pot!" At this time, the water in the pot is commonly known as brine, which can be used to make some tofu, but Narant doesn't need it at the moment.
Brine contains many toxic substances, which are not friendly to the human body.
When the brine was poured out, Kenby Cow Dung and the guards looked curiously at the red and white crystals sticking to the pot.
"My lord, what is this thing? Why does the originally crystal clear sea have these things when it boils!" Quick felt very miraculous and couldn't help but ask.
"That's salt!" Narant smiled, his mouth closed.
No wonder he was so happy. When crystals began to appear at the bottom of the pot, Narant knew that the seawater in this world could also produce salt.
"What? This is salt?" Everyone looked weird. Although they didn't usually eat snowflake salt like the nobles, the color wasn't so outrageous, it was almost catching up with red.
"If you don't believe me, try it!"
"Ah! Bah!" Quick, Kenby and the others really raised their hands and put a little sea salt in their mouths.
But the next moment, he hurriedly started to spit.
"Sir, it's really salty, but it's too bitter!" Quick and the others said with bitter faces and disgust.
"Maybe this is the reason why Lord Narant can become Lord Lord!" Kemby Cow Dung thought to himself
"Bitterness is right, because this is just coarse salt and needs to be refined!" Narant smiled and looked at everyone.
