Infrastructure maniacs from the East

Melaire who came over the next day had swollen eyes, was red all over, and was only wearing a loincloth... Xu Tian actually didn't know how to describe it, but he only wore a piece around his waist to cover his The point... well, you know.

After one night, the soil salt water has turned into a yellow solution, and there are still a lot of impurities in it. Xu Tian asked the housekeeper to go out. Two female slaves spread out the clay pots, and carefully spread layers of straw and grass on top. Ye, then directed Melelle to pick up the clay pot filled with soil salt water, and slowly pour the water down.

Knowing that the unattractive solution in his hand could extract precious salt, Melelle's hands and feet stiffened nervously. His hands were as hard to move as wood. After Xu Tian waited patiently for 5 minutes, his hands finally began to tilt. It flowed down and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"faster."

Xu Tian was speechless and helpless, he knew Meler's concerns - pottery was very precious, and so was salt, if it was accidentally broken or a hand trembled, it would be an unforgivable crime.

"Hurry up...faster...faster...continue to speed up..."

Xu Tian’s voice became hoarse, and as a result, the amount of water flowing down changed from one strand to two strands, and from two strands to three strands... Lord Xu really admired this young man to a certain extent—the ability to add water accurately It is also a skill to have so much that it is invisible.

As long as the old saying of kung fu deep iron pestle grinding into a needle still makes sense, Xu Tian finally controlled the inclination of Melaler to the proper position, and a trickle flowed down the mouth of the clay pot, and the impurities visible and invisible to the naked eye were eliminated. It is left on the blade of grass so lightly and delicately that only clean water can pass through it smoothly.

Merrell's water was finally drained, and now his face is covered with sweat, but unfortunately, this is only the first step of the long march.

The grass poles covered with a lot of sand were mercilessly thrown into the stove that had just been erected to destroy the corpses, and they would turn into plant ash and sprinkle it on the ground as fertilizer. Pushing the earthen pot with straws to Melelle, Xu Tian looked at the young man who had just been released and looked at him with disbelief, but just nodded with a smile.

Merrell showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and resigned to his fate, he picked up the clay basin that was still on the ground just now, and another yellow line fell down, this time the action was much cleaner.

The third time... the fourth time...

When the young man habitually bent down to pick up the clay pot, a long stick hit his hand, preventing him from moving. Merrell looked up suspiciously, and met the Lord's eyes.

"enough."

He heard the lord say so.

Xu Tian let Melelle rest for a while, and directed the mother and daughter to do things again.

Don't even think about the funnel, it is still feasible to poke a hole under the clay pot.

Yes, Xu Tian was still uneasy after the grass blade filtering, and decided to filter it twice with various materials. Since there were too many ugly and oddly shaped pottery before, he picked a few with sharp bottoms and tried to punch a hole in the bottom. ——It is prescient to prepare multiple in advance. The first few smashed out are either too big or too small. Finally, there are moderately large and small ones, which are directly broken when picked up. The tenth successful luxury funnel makes the The butler trembled in distress.

In junior high school chemistry class, I taught how water is filtered. Yesterday Xu Tian asked the housekeeper to find materials.

At the bottom of the pottery, a larger piece of charcoal was placed to prevent it from falling directly from the outlet. The cracks in the charcoal were carefully filled with boiled sand, and the top was carefully popped out with similar-sized stones. , and above it is another layer of sand and a layer of stones, which piled up the small pottery.

This time, it can’t be poured directly from the clay pot. The water now is a beautiful golden brine, which looks very clean, but Xu Tian said that his eyes may deceive him, so he needs to filter it a few more times .

The pottery is small and the pottery basin is big, and it is impossible to pour the brine all at once. Fortunately, Xu Tian, ​​who thought of everything, prepared a spoon, which is ugly and not big but easy to use. The daughter holds the pottery in her hand, and the mother scoops up the brine and pours it down Instead, Melelle watched all this attentively, and after changing the charcoal twice, Xu Tian was finally relieved.

"Don't touch it, you guys deal with those."

Xu Tian signaled them to pour the brine into a clean iron pot, and pointed to the white clay piled up in the corner with his cane. Seeing that the materials just used up were packed separately, he finally walked out with confidence.

Yes, this time Xu Tian invested a lot. The iron pot in the castle used charcoal to burn pottery. He also specially hired a carpenter to make a long, straight stick as a walking stick to guide all activities. The whip was wrapped around his waist. Yes, you can only practice at a fixed time every day to save yourself from being really useless. It is reluctant to use it to beat people, after all, his whip is so clean.

The wooden stick sounded like a cane, but it was as good as Lord Xu's in gestures. The carpenter specially found a small tree that grew well, and the thickness of the top and bottom was almost the same. Before handing it to the Lord, it was hardened with boiling water After watering it several times, it was polished very smooth. Xu Tian didn't carve any patterns to save time, but it looks good in his hand.

Now the lord's obsession with cleanliness has been gradually used by everyone, and he used to mutter whether it was not holy enough, but since the shaving incident, few people dare to break their mouths, and no one dares to say it after Baicaoshuang appeared That's all, but there are quite a few people who would scoop up some water to wash their faces when they are free. Although they are less busy with work, a good start is half the battle.

The requisition of the iron pot did not have a big impact on the castle. After all, clay pots can also be used for cooking. In the past, it was really inseparable. Now the iron pot has been used exclusively by the lord, and other people’s meals are cooked in clay pots. , and Lord Xu’s three meals a day now are boiled eggs that have remained unchanged for thousands of years. Just burn it a few times with fire first.

When Xu Tian walked to the open space where the acorns were drying, he saw a woman picking up something among a large pile of acorns. She moved up to it and then backed away curiously. With her good eyesight, she saw the true face of Mount Lu—Bai Bai Yes, soft bugs, the small ones are not as long as fingernails, and the big ones are as long as fingers. At first glance, Xu Tian was also taken aback. It's kind of like that.

Wood flower bug!

Xu Tian quickly reacted and swallowed his saliva. After all, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and then he saw the little dots on the woman's body that kept beating in the sun, and he lost all appetite in an instant. Gone.

"who is she?"

The servant following the lord suddenly heard the lord speak, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the lord's wooden staff, and a woman they were very familiar with came into view.

The servant recommended by the steward was not bad, and he told you in the simplest terms everything about the woman the lord may or may not know—the mother of the girl who explained the stick to you, the stonemason's wife.

Xu Tian didn't know about Emily's past. The servant was keenly aware of this, and explained it before the lord opened his mouth. From Emily's break with her father to becoming a castle maid with a ruler, even the previous grievances and resentments They all explained all sorts of things, so that Lord Xu, who didn't gossip, had a good bite, and he also had extremely complicated emotions towards this poor-looking woman.

If I had to explain it, it would be the gratification of the good bamboo shoots from the bad bamboo and the anger at her. Although I know this is a common phenomenon in this era, Xu Tian is still in a state of mind, frowning and rolling his eyes, I thought of an idea that would allow me to vent my anger and benefit this woman.

Without staying here for too long, Xu Tian took the two knights to the carpenter in a hurry, and asked him to cut a few thin wooden sticks out. He didn't need to touch it himself, so he didn't add the process of boiling water. I quickly walked back to the woman's side, afraid that if I accidentally walked slowly, the person would run away, but luckily I didn't miss it.

"come here."

Nick was sighing while picking out the worms that came out of the acorns. Her daughter hadn't come back since that day, and occasionally she would just bring some food to her, and when Emily saw that she was about to After giving the food to the mason, he never gave her anything directly again, and even pretended not to know her when they met on the road.

And her husband has never encountered such fierce resistance, and now she is not even pleasing to the eye. Although her husband would take most of her food away, she can still eat half full. Now the mason is the best Sometimes, she only left a bottom of the bowl for her, and she had to add a lot of water to make her stomach growl less loudly, often waking up in the dark, and then the thunderous stomach made it difficult to sleep.

Nick doesn't know what's wrong with Emily, how can a woman rebel against a man?She was given a boy's name by her father, didn't the stonemason's shop be passed on to a man's stonemason in the end?Isn't it just that she doesn't give food, she has come here since she was a child, why Emily can't figure it out.

Isn't it just beating and scolding, she came here like this, her mother came here like this, her mother's mother, mother's mother's mother came here like this, why can others bear it, but Emily can't.

Thinking of the stonemason's increasingly violent emotions recently, Nick couldn't help shaking, and actually felt a trace of resentment towards Emily in his heart.

It's ridiculous, she doesn't resent the stonemason who abused her, she doesn't resent the pregnancy in October, but she takes it for granted that the mother should die for herself, the tall and strong son, but resents the thin and small Emily who has no fault .

How absurd, but in this day and age it is jaw-droppingly taken for granted.

However, does she really not resent, or does she dare not resent?

The woman didn't realize that besides the fear of Emily's slamming the door, she also felt the envy and comfort hidden in the deepest part, which she didn't realize at all.

"come here."

The woman was worrying that it would be difficult for Emily to marry without a father and a dowry, when she heard an indifferent voice, she subconsciously raised her head, facing the lord... the servant beside her, subconsciously got up and walked over.

"Take it."

The lord gave the order again, and the servant handed over the stick. Nick caught it subconsciously. The cold touch made her a little puzzled, but the noble lord didn't give her any time to think. Her brain analyzed what was in her hand. Before it was of any use, the lord's order came again.

"Put those white worms on."

This order made Nick full of confusion, but he obeyed subconsciously. The previous wood flower bugs were thrown directly into a broken pottery filled with water and drowned. No one had any idea about these bugs.

There are many wood flower insects in pottery, but there are more wood flower insects in acorns. Even when the sun-exposed acorns are picked up by others and opened, there will be many times when the fruit disappears and the white insects show off their power. Scenes.

The wood flower bugs crawling out of the acorns in the sun are like white spots on black paper, and they are quickly picked up by Nick skillfully, and then put on wooden sticks mercilessly, long and short The body was still twisting, which made Xu Tian frowned in discomfort, swallowed when he thought of its taste, and lost his appetite when he saw Nick's hand. When the woman was catching insects, the above scene has been in an infinite loop.

"Take it and follow me."

Nick almost made one command and one movement, but when she stood up, she felt a blackness in front of her eyes, and she almost staggered and fell down. Previous experience told her that she was hungry, but she had no choice but to keep up with it almost by instinct. Following the footsteps of the lord, he arrived at the kitchen almost unconscious, lit a pile of flames, and the beautiful flames burned obediently, and occasionally a few sparks popped out like a prank.

"Put it on the fire."

The lord's order came again, and Nick subconsciously followed suit. The white and fat wood flower worms were quickly roasted to a burnt brown color, and a faint fragrance also wafted out. Although it felt disgusting, he was never full. Nick swallowed anyway.

"hiss--"

There was a burst of pain when her cheek moved slightly, and Nick subconsciously wanted to cry out in pain, but at the very moment, he remembered that the lord was still in front of her, so he forcibly endured it, only uttering a little symbolic Breath of pain.

Dirt blocked Nick's face, but the abnormal protrusion on his head was still clearly visible. Xu Tian liked the woman in front of him who moved much slower, moved his lips but still didn't say anything.

Some things can only be done if you understand them. Before that, no one else can really help them.

Let the servant warn you—Xu Tian never meddles in his own business, but he can give those who sleep too deeply more time to wake up.

"Eat it."

The lord's final order came, making Nick's eyes widen in surprise and fear.

Nick couldn't believe what she just heard. She subconsciously turned her eyes to the servant beside the lord, hoping to get a negative answer. The servant moved his lips to say something, but closed his mouth tightly under the lord's words. mouth, and Nick fell into utter despair——

"She eats or you eat."

Xu Tian's words were always so sharp, the servant who was about to move had not had time to stretch out his jio to test it, but was thrown back by the lord's 40-meter-long machete, and decided to make a quiet decoration.

The wood flower worms on the wooden stick stopped moving. They bent their bodies quietly, exuding a tempting smell of meat. Nick didn't know if it was his own illusion, but she always felt that the smell was familiar—— Every winter, the stonemason will buy a chicken together with other people, and then take a little home to share with his son. Their faces have similar salivation and greed, and the bones of the chicken will be chewed and swallowed into the stomach. , Even hands that are stained with grease will be licked repeatedly.

Nick never dared to ask for meat, because even when she was not married to the mason, the meat in the wooden bowl was always exclusive to her father. If she shamelessly made this treacherous request, it would be Being ridiculed by her father, and then going through a beating, even people who knew about it would not plead for her.

"Do women want to eat meat too?"

"The old mason didn't beat his daughter to death. She is really favored."

Women can't eat meat, this is the knowledge taught to Nick by pain, so when she has a daughter, when the stonemason and his son eat meat, she will stand aside with her daughter in her arms, even if her daughter rolls around greedily, she will not soften her heart— —With her efforts, her daughter has never eaten meat, but she has never been beaten for eating meat.

Occasionally, when the stonemason father and son encountered a big bone that could not be chewed, they would throw the bone that could not absorb half of the meat flavor to their mother and daughter like a dog, and laughed when they watched them scramble for it. , and scolded them for their greed, and proclaimed their love for them to their neighbors, usually at this time the stonemason is always triumphant——

"I gave them the bones to eat."

This is the love of masons.

"You really love your wife and your children."

This is everyone's praise to the mason, which he can accept with peace of mind, because he is willing to give his wife and daughter a bone.

Nick grew up in such an environment, and she didn't think there was anything wrong, but her daughter Emily couldn't understand all this. She was still so young, but she would ask "why my brother eats meat but I don't", "Why do we only get the bones they don't want, but others say that he (referring to the mason) loves you very much?", "Why does our mush add water to the bottom of the pot, but it takes a long time for them to hold it in their hands?" Will it fall?" Waiting for a question that Mingming Nick has become accustomed to, but will never be able to answer.

She tried to explain these truths to Emily, but the final result terrified her—Emily couldn't understand why the stonemason and his son were only of different genders, so they could take the best things for granted and give them alms Only the leftovers that they themselves despise.

The word Emily used was charity, which made Nick feel very unbelievable. She tried to argue with Emily again and again, but ended in a fiasco every time. Her daughter could never understand why there was such a big difference between men and women , just like she didn't understand that her talent in stone was much higher than that of her brother, but her father never let her learn this craft.

Nick didn't know how to explain this unreasonable but acknowledged fact to Emily. She tried to make it clear to Emily that the stone masons were very good to them, at least not because Emily was a daughter. They returned to heaven within 5 minutes of birth, and did not sell her to such a shameful place, and even gave them bones to eat.

The other daughters on this street were forcibly returned, and even the ones left by chance were already earning money to support their families at a young age. This is the life of a woman, and many women have never smelled the smell of meat until their death.

But Emily couldn't listen, many of her thoughts were contrary to what this world takes for granted, so she lived in pain, but no matter how painful she was, she never gave up on herself and became an 'ordinary woman' like Nick, accepting what the world took for granted. It's not fair, even if her resistance is just a wishful thinking.

"eat."

The lord's voice, which had become a little impatient, recalled Nick's mind that had been addicted to the past. The scent was wafting from the wood flower worm, and it was somewhat similar to the smell of meat she had smelled in winter.

The long-term hunger made her stomach unable to bear the temptation. She swallowed, and the wood flower worm in her hand approached her mouth. Under the instructions of the lord, she removed the head of the worm, and Nick finally opened his mouth and bit down.

The skin broke easily, and the taste was not unpalatable as Nick imagined. It was a completely different texture from mush, tender and soft, and it was much better than the dried beans she had eaten.

Maybe the meat the stonemasons ate tasted like this.

The face of the aging woman is almost blank, with transparent water marks from the corners of her eyes to the ground. She eats food that she has never thought of before bite by bite, with an indescribable bitterness. , no one can know Nick's emotions at this time, even she herself is in a daze, only feeling that she seems to have longed for it for many years.

Xu Tian frowned and looked at the woman in front of her who was about to faint from hunger, but still insisted on eating worms in small bites. Her head was swollen from being beaten by her husband. The servant could easily see that she was on the verge of death due to hunger. , but there is still a fire of life that ignites for no reason, like a candle in the wind but has never been extinguished.

"It's delicious."

He heard her exclamation, but he didn't know what to say, all the words now seemed to be pale.

"Mother--"

A voice broke the silence, and the woman's little Emily ran in from the door, carefully avoiding the lord and the servants, and gently encircling her mother from behind. It is worth mentioning that until now she has not moved Put that ruler down.

Emily didn't know what happened, and Xu Tian didn't know how to explain it... Fortunately, Xu Tian didn't need to explain it. The housekeeper can rest assured that the servants are all-rounders. This servant never thought about the lord Will explain all this to a maid, and automatically and consciously step forward to act as the lord's tongue.

"%#￥...&...$%()*&￥%...that's it."

This servant is worthy of being able to put the butler next to the lord. His language is straightforward and eloquent, turning Nick's eating of bugs into a gift for her, and Emily was taken aback for a while. God knows his true intentions, and he probably regards himself as a good person.

He wasn't, but he had a clear conscience.

Eating bugs is a bit unacceptable by the people here, but it is nothing compared to death. Nick was already on the verge of starving to death. If Xu Tian hadn't brought her here to add a little protein, it would probably be the two days. God's business.

To sum up, he made a small joke, but promoted the consumption of bugs and saved a life. Emily's gratitude to him was taken for granted.

So this stinky and shameless Lord Xu persuaded himself so easily, accepted Emily's thanks on the surface reserved, and then quietly paid for little Emily to let Nick eat the food she sent. gimmick -

"Put it directly in her mouth, and cry if she doesn't accept you. A mother who loves her child will never be able to bear her child's tears."

"Make sure she eats it before letting go, and tell me about the hard-won food."

These two simple sentences caused a bright light bulb to pop up in the head of the smart Emily. Xu Tian vaguely felt that he had opened the door to a new world for Emily... Later, he saw Emily's methods Lord Xu was sure that the little girl had successfully turned black-bellied, but it was too late.

But this is all for the future, and now Xu Tian's focus is still on the few wood flower insects left.

"One skewer per person, eat it."

His cane touched the shoulders of the servant and little Emily, with an unquestionable expression on his face, causing the two of them to change their expressions in an instant.

"It tastes very good, just like meat."

There is still a big difference between watching others eat insects and eating insects yourself, but the lord's order is unquestionable. Although they doubt the authenticity of what the lord said, the word "meat" still deeply stimulated their nerves. There is also a lot less doubt and fear in the gaze of the wood flower insect.

After all, the lord has said that this is the taste of meat.

"Emily, don't look."

Nick didn't understand Emily's heart, but he could still see the resistance. After thinking about how he took the first bite before, he carefully covered his daughter's eyes, and then put the wood flower worm in her daughter's mouth. At the edge of his mouth, he carefully removed his head.

"Open your mouth."

Emily hadn't heard her mother's gentle voice for a long time. She opened her mouth subconsciously, and Nick quickly threw a wood flower worm into her daughter's mouth, and closed it before Emily could react. Then rock her jaw up and down to help chew.

Emily finally realized what happened just now but it was too late now, and the taste in her mouth was not as bad as imagined, she chewed it easily and swallowed it, but the strange but mouth-watering taste was still lingering between her lips and teeth.

"It's so fragrant!"

Nick put down his hand covering his daughter's eyes, watched as Emily hesitated and took a big bite, expressing his feelings vaguely while eating.

Is it really that delicious?

The servant watched Emily's speed getting faster and faster, and finally he closed his eyes and took the first bite of the wood flower insect meat he had never eaten before.

Human beings are always similar, such as Nick who was the first to eat bugs, such as Emily who was forced to eat, such as the servant who now treats death as home——

"It's so fragrant!"

There is a stark contrast between the tragic face before the bite and the present, and the essence of human beings is vividly reflected at this moment.

Xu Tian didn't eat those bugs from the beginning to the end, not because he didn't want to eat them, but simply because he couldn't touch the things they touched. Seeing the three of them devouring them, Xu Tian silently swallowed his saliva, feeling the first in his heart. Thousands of times, I miss the knights who went to trade and return quickly, preferably with a large amount of food.

When the hygienic environment here is up to standard, he must give himself a feast of insects!Whether to eat or not is secondary, mainly to satisfy one's inner obsession.

It’s not that people didn’t expect or dare to do many things, it’s just that a leader was missing. After the wood flower insect incident, Nick and the others became obsessed with this kind of food that is much more delicious than mush, but the image is not very good. The wood flower worm that was thrown into the water and drowned became the food to fill the stomach. The lord said that this was the same as meat, which aggravated the appetite of the three of them.

The strange actions of the three were quickly discovered by other people. If they showed it openly, it might be unacceptable to people, but their sneaky behavior aroused people's curiosity, especially the one that always seemed to have If there is no saliva, the mouth-watering fragrance drifts out.

People often don't cherish free things, and take good care of what they get at a big price; what they are chasing is never a business—people are always so strange, what they get after coaxing and persuading them is often resistance and scrambling What is delicious is delicious, even if the taste of the food does not change, but the mood changes and everything is different.

Especially after it was rumored that this was what the bishop and the others ate, people became even crazier.

Seeing how the mother and daughter were being chased and intercepted, Xu Tian finally felt that the time had come, so he gave a hint to the servant beside him, and the servant nodded to show that he understood.

So the next day, the servant 'accidentally' placed an order, and then was 'surrounded' to the hiding place, and was 'forced' to take out the roasted wood flower worms, trying to 'break through' when people were hesitating. ', after 'failure', 'try' to eat all of them, but they were still divided up by crazy people.

When a person eats something that others have never seen before, he may be regarded as a different kind, but when many people taste it, it will become a trend. The hottest hotspot in the castle is the lord, so when the lord treats the wood When the compliments of the flower bugs came out, the wood flower bugs became a high-end delicacy for the servants of the castle. Those who had eaten and those who hadn’t were automatically divided into two circles. Later, Nick became a dedicated bug catcher. , Roasted wood flower insects have also become a limited delicacy for servants to eat.

A few years later, wood flower worms have been regarded as a rare delicacy by people, because they ate too much before, and now it is difficult to find them. Later, the first wood flower worm farm appeared here, and the owner was a man named Nick. woman, people wondered why she took a male name, and she never answered...

But this is all for the future, the current Lord Xu is busy boiling salt.

It is not difficult to boil salt, but it requires a lot of patience. The golden brine is slowly poured into the iron pot, and a raging flame has been burned underneath. The firewood is specially placed on the other side of the room. Wash your hands to continue.

Two pottery sticks - very long but not too thick. Xu Tian asked someone to knead and fire them in advance. He didn't know if these would be useful, but he definitely didn't want to get a stick from the sticks they used when cooking. A few bugs and some invisible eggs floated out slowly, for which he would rather spend a little more effort.

The fire was very strong, and the brine in the pot boiled quickly. Xu Tian asked Merrell to slowly stir the beautiful golden liquid. The two sticks were replaced in turn because they were afraid that the heat would conduct too quickly. The female slave touching the firewood carefully took the heated pottery stick, put it on a clean pottery board, and passed the other one over, and the above actions repeated endlessly.

Boiling the salt is a rather boring process, but watching the yellow color in the pot gradually decrease and the white lens gradually appear is still very magical, at least for Merel and the two slave girls.

The fire turned into a low fire, the older female slave took over the stick in Meler's hand, let the steward's son rest for a while, and then continued the previous turmoil, the poor boy—— he was only thirteen or fourteen The body shape, which can be described as a young man, is in the past-he is sweating profusely now, and subconsciously wants to reach out to wipe it, but shrinks back under Xu Tian's gaze, and gets up to wash his hands obediently.

The salt in the pot no longer increased, and the female slave turned the fire even smaller under Xu Tianshi's signal. The pottery stick was pulled out and replaced with a pottery spoon with a shallow bottom and a large mouth. Fish it out and put it on a special pottery basin. Its edge is very low, but there are many densely packed small holes in the bottom. This is a sieve that Xu Tian made after a long time of pondering.

Maybe you don't believe it, but this is indeed a sieve, which is even more useful than a real sieve. It is specially used to filter out the water in the salt. In order to make it, Xu Tian almost broke his head. The hairline of the butler is one centimeter higher than before. Fortunately, the hard work pays off, and there must be a brave man under the reward. .

The holes at the bottom were pierced by thin grass stalks and approved wooden sticks. In the fire, all the wooden products were reduced to ashes, leaving densely packed eyes. Taobi also specially pinched a few ears to prevent Could not find a suitable pottery catcher.

Fortunately, the effort was worth it after all, they succeeded, and the effect was very good.

After a while, the moisture in the salt gradually decreased and dried up. It finally took shape under everyone's expectations. It was white in color without any impurities, and it was much better than the one bought by the former lord at a high price.

"Success."

Xu Tian scooped up a little salt with his own hands and put it into his mouth. The familiar salty taste had a slightly bitter taste, but it made him close his eyes with a smile.

"Ahhh-"

The mother and daughter hugged each other when Xu Tian said that they succeeded, speaking in a language that no one could understand, their faces were full of tears, but the corners of their mouths were raised sharply.

Xu Tian asked Merrell to scoop out the salt with a clean earthenware spoon, and carefully put it into two jars. The two jars, the two jars, and the jars looked ordinary, but the only special thing was that there was a well-matched lid on them.

"Leave these for you, you can put some when you eat mush."

Pointing to the small white jar that barely covered the bottom, Xu Tian said under the disbelieving eyes of the three.

"Take this back for you and let your family taste it."

Slaves don't have family members, but the relationship between Melale and his family should be pretty good, so Xu Tian generously scooped up... a small fingernail of salt and gave it to the steward's son.

It's really not that he is stingy, he still knows the truth of going too far, and there is only five fingernails of salt in the small pot, and only a shallow layer in the big clay pot.

The two female slaves had no objections, and in fact no one asked for their opinions, but Xu Tian still solemnly warned Merrell—if he thought of only letting the two female slaves do things or with any of them Anything below the neck, voluntary or not, will result in direct expulsion from Febrina.

Xu Tian believes in human nature, but he doesn't believe in people's hearts.

The salt was made, but the thrifty Xu Tian would not give up anything useful.

All the salt in the pot was fished out, and the remaining water was the real brine. Xu Tian, ​​who refused to let go of a single stitch, made the three of them boil the brine into brine cubes because he would use it to make tofu in the future. , Use another shovel to scoop it up and put it in a clean clay pot. In theory, the brine block can be stored for a long time without water, but Xu Tian is still thinking about burning a few more lids.

Do you think this is over?

of course not!

White salt nitrate formed under the mouth of the salt pot. This is actually fire nitrate. It is a good thing that can be used to make □. Thinking about it, I put this layer of salt and nitrate that I don't know if I will use it in the future, and put it in a clay pot, and compacted it hard, and prepared a cover for it.

Merrell never knew why the lord wanted to make so many rules. You have to use the two pre-washed wooden sticks for eating mush, you have to wash your hands after excreting, and you have to wash your feet before going to bed at night... It's really troublesome. up.

Until he saw the appearance of salt with his own eyes, his earthenware bowl was filled with some salt whiter than snowflakes by the generous lord, and asked him to take it back to him.
