Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Village Chief Li once again realized the role of reading. Scholars are great and know everything. In the future, if conditions permit, all children and grandchildren in the family will study.

The remaining carpenters were also shocked when they heard Lin Shuangshuang's words. This thing was very powerful just by hearing it.

If they can really build this thing, they will definitely be able to brag about it to their descendants for a lifetime.

At this moment, they had no selfish intentions at all, and no one felt that they were working for Hegou Village for free.

Instead, they all participated actively and wanted to use their own hands to create this good thing that would benefit the country and the people.

After everyone got excited, someone asked: "Ms. Lin, can such a big wheel really move in the water?"

"Don't you need many people to work together to turn it?"

“With such a big wheel, a lot of people are needed, right?”

Lin Shuangshuang replied: "No need."

"This is a waterwheel that runs on water power."

"If you don't believe it, you can try it on a small scale first, and then you will have more experience when you enlarge it."

Everyone immediately agreed and said that if they work together, they can make a small one that day.

It may take several days to do it. After all, it is difficult to make a circular track that big.

In the evening of that day, all the women who went up to the mountain to dig yams and pick mushrooms came down, and everyone gained a lot.

Almost everyone dug some yams and wild vegetables in their hands.

Later, the men also came down. Although they didn't catch any prey, they dug a lot of traps. They didn't know if they would get anything from going up the mountain tomorrow.

That night, every household was cooking yams. Although they were not very tasty, to the victims who had been hungry for several days, these yams were nothing short of delicacies on earth.

"Ms. Lin, are these reeds enough?"

Lin Shuangshuang asked: "Is this all by the river?"

"There are a lot more."

"As much as you want, I will use these reeds to dry the salt."

"Now every household is out of salt, and we can't go out. If we don't eat salt for a long time, we will get sick."

Several people were shocked: "Can these reeds produce salt?"

They have heard of people who dry salt on the seashore and dig salt underground, but they have never heard that reeds can dry salt.

"It can be dried, but the yield is less, so I asked you to cut down all the reeds by the river."

"When you find salt bricks, you won't have to worry about not having enough salt."

Someone asked out of curiosity: "How to find salt bricks?"

"Are there any salt mines on our mountain?"

"No, but there must be salt bricks. As long as you follow the path of the animals, you will definitely find them."

"Animals, like people, also need to replenish salt. They usually lick salt bricks. As long as you follow the animals and find that they have been licking a certain stone, that stone must contain extremely high salt content."

"As long as it is processed and refined, it can reach the standard of coarse salt for human consumption."

Several people listened to Lin Shuangshuang's words and said with admiration: "Ms. Lin, you know so much."

"Readers are just different."

"Studying is good. When I have money in the future, I will also teach my children to study."

Lin Shuangshuang listened to everyone's compliments and sent them away with a few polite words.

"Sister, the meal is ready."

Yaomei said, bringing out a pot of steamed buns, a pot of cooked yams, and the pickled radish strips from the kitchen.

Although she could buy rice, flour, grains, oils, vegetables and fruits in the space supermarket, she didn't do that.

While everyone is eating wild vegetables and chewing tree bark, her delicacies are a taboo.

It will make people jealous and cause unnecessary trouble.

There are no pretentious people in the Gu family, and they ate yams with great enthusiasm along with everyone else. No one was picky about food and complained.

Even Xiao Chen and Hai Mingzhou didn't say anything. They were not squeamish at all and just ate and slept with everyone.

At noon the next day, all the reeds by the river were cut down and piled up as high as a hill.

Lin Shuangshuang asked them to pile the reeds on the threshing floor of the village and leave them in the sun for four days to completely dry the reeds.

After the success of the small waterwheel experiment, the craftsmen immediately started working day and night to build the large waterwheel.

Others continued to go up the mountain to dig yams, pick mushrooms and hunt game.

Although there is less and less food to be dug every day, people are no longer starving to death.

Everyone is looking forward to the ripening of potatoes in a month. Although they don't know what potatoes are, they heard from the villagers in Hegou Village that they are a kind of magical food that can produce tens of thousands of pounds per acre.

Everyone is looking forward to it. If this can produce tens of thousands of pounds per acre, then no one will starve to death again.

Therefore, people from other villages take better care of the potatoes in the field than people from the same village, for fear of accidentally stepping on them.

After four days, all the reeds were dried.

A woman asked curiously: "Ms. Lin, what should we do next?"

Lin Shuangshuang pointed to a bundle of reeds and said, "I'll make a little to show you first. Whoever needs it can make it themselves in the future."

"Okay, thank you Madam Lin."

With that said, she directed everyone to start working: "Burn all these reeds into ashes."

"Row."

"Bring me the clay pots I made a few days ago."

With that said, Yaomei Xiaochen and others ran over holding several clay jars.

These jars are specially made, with more than a dozen small holes in the bottom, the kind that can leak when filled with water.

"Ms. Lin, the reeds have been burned to ashes. What should we do next?"

Everyone looked at her curiously, wondering how to make salt from reeds?

Can reeds really make salt?

Then in the future, you don’t have to spend money to buy salt, and you can make it at home?

Lin Shuangshuang directed several people: "Put all the reed ashes into these jars."

The dust is not very fine, the hole at the bottom of the jar is very small, and only a little bit of the reed ash leaks out.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Shuangshuang began to ask people to add water to the jar, and the salt would dissolve in the aloe vera ash.

A large iron pot had already been placed at the bottom of the jar, and the gray-yellow salty liquid dripped into the iron pot along the small holes in the bottom of the jar.

After filtering out the impurities with gauze, start cooking.

Onlookers watched as the water in the iron pot became less and less. After the water evaporated, some earthy-yellow sticky substance remained at the bottom of the pot.

"Ms. Lin, are these slimy things just salt?"

"Can this be eaten?"

"Is it salty?"

"Does it taste like salt?"

"Why isn't this salt white?"

Lin Shuangshuang shook his head: "You can't eat it now, you have to bake it."

As she spoke, she asked someone to find a few large leaves to wrap the sticky objects and bake them in hot ashes.

"Okay, let's all get busy. It will take another hour and a half to bake here before it turns into salt."

After hearing what Lin Shuangshuang said, everyone hurried up the mountain to find food, otherwise they would be hungry tonight.

About three hours later, a group of curious children were the first to come around to watch the fun. These dolls were all looking forward to the results.

After all, today they saw with their own eyes the process of turning reeds into salt, and they found it very magical.
