After learning from Wen Lie that table salt is really extracted from salt water, Miao felt strangely excited.

Thinking of the unhappiness he encountered in the Shark Salt Tribe when he changed the salt last time, he had a strange expression on his face.

But immediately, he looked at his great witch with burning eyes, and he believed that since the other party said that salt water could be used to make salt, then the other party would definitely be able to do it!

Then they don't have to go out to the Salt Tribe to exchange salt.

Moreover, if he went out to change the salt, he would leave the non-orcs in the relatively safe valley, and he couldn't help worrying.Without him, if Wencheng is attacked by wild hands, can his non-orcs escape?

Miao dare not gamble.

But if they could make salt themselves, all problems would be solved at once.

Wen Lie didn't answer his question first, but asked, "What kind of salt water does the Shark Salt Tribe use to make salt?"

It should not be sea water.

Even coarse salt extracted from seawater is not so dark in color, and it also has an indelible bitter taste.

Miao shook his head, expressing his ignorance, frowned, and introduced the Sharkyan Tribe to him, "Although the orcs of the Sharkyan Tribe are sharks, they can live in water, but they can't survive in salt water, and they have humanoid forms. At that time, they still lived on the ground, because they had to exchange salt with other tribes.”

So they built the tribe by the river where the water was not salty, and they lived by catching fish in the river while satisfying the needs of the animals.Because of their extraordinary fishing ability, the mermaids are never short of food.

But the fish is unpalatable. As people in the whole continent become more and more accustomed to cooked food, the life of drinking blood has gradually become a state affairs. Even the shark salt tribe, which makes a living by hunting fish and eats fish, has begun to reject the smell of fish. Bitter.

As a result, the tradition of exchanging salt for other food was formed in the shark salt tribe.

This happened later. At the very beginning, the Shark Salt Tribe was not called the Shark Salt Tribe, but the Shark Man Tribe.

When the orcs of the merman tribe are in the form of beasts, their upper body is human and their lower body is fish tail. They are good at swimming and can swim.However, when they turned into human form, all their abilities disappeared, and their strength was no different from that of ordinary human-shaped orcs. Even because the animal form was hydrophilic, once they landed in animal form, their energy would be consumed rapidly, and it was difficult to Maintain animal form on the shore.

This kind of helpless ability allowed them to avoid the invasion of foreign tribes in the water, but they couldn't attack other tribes, so they began to gradually seal themselves up.

However, because the living habits of the merman tribe are completely different from those of the mainland orcs, and most of the orcs in the merman tribe are beautiful and beautiful, like females, but to people who are used to the rough appearance of orcs, they think they are not masculine. Not female, looking at it is indescribably uncomfortable.

Everyone thinks they are ugly, so they don't have much contact with the shark tribe.

At that time, because the Merman tribe was not popular with non-orcs who generally liked burly and tall orcs, their fertility was once reduced to the lowest level. There was no newborn cub in the tribe for more than ten years.

Of course, even now, the orcs of the Shayan tribe still occupy the top spot on the list of the most unpopular orcs in the mainland, and the tribe maintains a relatively low birth rate of cubs.

But because they have salt, the surrounding tribes are willing to make friends with them. In these tribes, some non-orcs are willing to move here because the orcs of the shark salt tribe can exchange salt for them. , and the orcs of the other tribe formed a partner.

Therefore, although the birth rate of cubs in the Shark Salt Tribe was low, it was stable anyway, which made everyone quite satisfied.

People in the outer tribes are also satisfied. Before the Shayan tribe, they went to exchange salt, and they had to go further to the salt tribe in the north of the mainland.

Now that the nearby tribes have salt, they don't have to travel thousands of miles to go to the north of the mainland. Of course everyone is happy.

The reason why the Shark Tribe changed its name to the Shark Tribe was because the news that the Shark Tribe could exchange salt was completely spread at a grand meeting of the East and West tribes at that time, probably because everyone was too impressed with salt. It is often called the Shark Salt Tribe.

Called a lot, everyone got used to the later "nickname", and even only knew the nickname, not the shark.

After all, the Merman Tribe existed before that, but no one wanted to associate with it.

The patriarch of the Shark Tribe saw it, so he simply held a feast to worship the gods, and officially changed the name of the Shark Tribe to the Shark Salt Tribe, which was also more conducive to the spread of their tribe's salt.

After Wen Lie heard it, he rarely laughed out loud: "What kind of eyes are they, they think mermaids are ugly."

It can only be said that it is really a bit miserable for mermaids to live in this orc continent with a single aesthetic.

He listened with questions all the way, which really made him sort out a little bit of thinking.

Since the Shark Salt Tribe doesn't live by the sea, the salt they extract should not be sea salt.

Combined with the characteristics of this kind of salt, it reminded Wen Lie of a kind of salt - well salt.

And it is unprocessed well salt.

In ancient China, the producers of table salt did not all dry salt from sea water. Due to inconvenient transportation and geographical location not close to the sea, people in those remote sea areas came up with a method to extract table salt from well water.

It's just that the brine, which is called brine, shows different colors due to the impurity ions contained in it.

The more common ones are yellow and black.

Wen Lie guessed that the salt water used by the Shark Salt Tribe should be black brine.The black brine is dried directly in the sun, which is probably the salt they eat now.

As for what the other party used to turn the black halogen into white and remove the colored ions in it, he had no way of knowing.

But he felt that it was necessary for him to go out with Miao and the others to exchange salt and find out.

"To extract table salt from seawater, you only need to divert water to dry it, but the salt produced in this way is coarse salt, and it is easy to flood and agglomerate. If you want to get better quality salt, such as the white salt that the shark tribe eats Salt, you need something else.” The Shark Salt Tribe might have it.

As Wen Lie said that, he was eager to try, wishing to follow Miao and the others to the Shayan tribe now!

Mermaid!Salt that is neither bitter nor astringent!

But he still held back. They can make coarse salt to eat first. For higher-level pursuits, let’s wait until there is no shortage of salt and food.

Salt is a very important thing here, and the high-intensity physical labor of the orcs is absolutely inseparable from them.

And the cost of exchanging salt from outside tribes... With their current situation, they simply cannot exchange extra food for salt.

As for their specialties, such as clay pots, meat marinating methods, deep-frying methods, and jams, tribes that are not particularly lacking in food and love sweets probably won’t trade with them, after all, they can’t even fill their stomachs. Where is the mood to pay attention to these.

But now they have a lot of fish here, and it is a profitable idea to process the fish meat with their own methods, but the long-term preservation of fish meat also requires salt.

"So instead of changing the salt, let's look for an intersection in the pool that leads to the sea, first make rough salt, and then marinate various foods. When the tribe gathers in the warm season, we can exchange it for things!"

Although the high tide brought seawater to the water pool, the salt content of the water pool was still too small, and the time of high tide was limited, so it was basically impossible for them to produce a lot of salt from the water pool.

Only to find the sea.

As long as he can find the sea, he can make coarse salt.

He believes that even if it is coarse salt, its whiter appearance compared to black salt will definitely be liked by everyone!

At that time, there will be more opportunities to exchange for other things at the tribal gathering.

Wen Lie saw in the "Guide to Planting Plants in Another World" that there are staple foods in the beastman continent! !

Relying on the strength of a few of them to find these foods is too difficult, but the tribal gathering held by all the tribes in the entire continent is definitely the best place for him to find treasure.

He originally planned to go to the tribal gathering after the warm season arrived, but he hadn't come up with a good solution because he didn't have any valuable "specialties" to exchange.

but now!

As long as they can find the sea, extract coarse salt, table salt, and specialty food, all problems will be solved!

Miao couldn't wait more than him, took off the animal skin, jumped, and jumped down with a "plop" like a fish, "I'll go look for it below!"

Seeing that the patriarch went into the water again, the people fishing next to him became even more excited. They often catch fish recently, they have learned how to swim, and they are not afraid of water anymore.

Wen Lie: "..."

Most of his excitement went away, originally he wanted to call someone over to explain the matter of salt making, and ask them to follow him to find a connection.

After a while, Wu and the others came back and saw that everyone was in the water, and they became anxious. There was never any brotherhood at all in the matter of grabbing food. diving.

Fortunately, Wen Lie yelled in time this time and stopped them, "Come here!"

"All transform, call me up! Kui, go call Luo Luo, the little guys, and the priest! Call everyone to the quarry."

Wu and the others looked at each other, but seeing the serious expression on the big witch's face, they didn't dare to ask questions, so they quickly split up and called for someone.

Soon, the orcs ran back to the quarry in water, and when everyone was present, Wen Lie stood on a big rock, slightly looking down at the unidentified people underground, and looked at the orcs standing next to him on the flat ground. With a glance, he made a quiet gesture, "I called everyone here today because I have something very important to say."

When Wen Lie said something about the sea, drying salt, and finding the entrance to the sea, the discussion of the crowd could not be suppressed completely.

In the memory of the orcs living inland, they have never seen the "sea" described by the big witch. In the places where the orcs in the mainland can find their footprints, there are rivers, mountain streams, lakes, pools, and more. The Shark Salt Tribe was told about the miraculous salt water, but the sea, the sea full of salt, was an unimaginable existence for them.

That is a miracle.

Everyone was very excited. The shock of the house had not passed to them. The first time they learned that there was boundless salt water waiting for them to discover and dig in front of them. To go diving, the sensational posture is no less than a show jumping into the river to commit suicide.

Fortunately, their patriarch had come to his senses, and each of them smashed a pile of ice hockey pucks. When they were honest, they said, "Listen to the big witch."

Miao also thought about it, since the sea is called the sea, it must be very big, at least much bigger than the pool in the valley, and although they can swim and have strong physical strength, it is impossible for them to cross long distances did it.So, after finding the mouth of the sea, how do they get there?

As if he had already guessed what he was going to ask, Wen Lie couldn't hold back the serious expression on his face, and said excitedly: "We build a ship!"

There are many towering ancient trees, just dig a hole in the middle of a section!

Knowing what the boat was, everyone was excited again.

They slightly looked up at the non-orc standing on the boulder, their great witch, and the blood and gratitude in their hearts were unspeakable. Everyone knelt down, bowed their heads, and tapped their chests with one hand to show their eternal loyalty and follow.

"Ding Dong, you have a new reward item, please check it."
