All the savage is jealous, I will farm

The bull is strong and strong, a bit stronger than the most powerful buffalo Su Yao has seen in modern times. The load of the cart should be about 900 catties, but it is difficult to walk on the plains. More than [-] catties of salt were collected.

Each of the other two wooden carts contained more than 200 kilograms, and two people pulled the carts alternately. The weight on everyone's bodies was reduced, and it was easier to walk.

Walking briskly along the way, I could see from a distance that the potatoes and sweet potatoes outside the tribe were growing very well, and there were also a large number of paddy fields on the plain near the river. The black soil was obviously very fertile.

The patrolling people had notified the people in the tribe when they saw them coming back. Although they only separated for more than 20 days, the relatives of the soldiers had tears in their eyes and smiles full of joy.

The priest was obviously relieved. Su Yao noticed that everyone's expressions were wrong. Unfortunately, there are so many people who can't care about this now, so he can only suppress this question first, and bring the returning team to the specially designated courtyard. go.

The yard is a huge courtyard, which was specially designated by Su Yao to smelt fine salt, and all the tools for smelting salt are ready.

The salt in the baskets was neatly piled up in the house. The soldiers took off their clothes that had already been stained with salt and salt particles. revealed.

The priest quietly wiped away his tears, and before he could say his distressed words, he was interrupted by Chu Shan and Qing Shui: "Did Grandpa Priest prepare us something to eat? I'm so hungry."

The priest quickly replied: "Yes, yes, I guess you should be back in the next few days, and the broth has been stewing on the big stove."

Dazao refers to the common pots and stoves in the tribe. The soldiers ran out to rest and eat after receiving Zhongli's order, and met their families by the way.

They received a secret order before they left.The method of making salt is a secret. Those who have participated in the making of coarse salt should keep their mouths in check, and they should not be with their close parents and people next to them.

Shi Shi came from another direction with [-] other people, and they wanted to take over the work of Chu Shan and others to further refine the coarse salt they brought back into fine salt.

Su Yao had to personally watch the step of making fine salt. Under his instruction, the coarse salt was poured into the bucket and refilled with water to form a new brine. First, take out a bucket of brine and put it aside for later use.

The remaining brine was poured into a large pot and continued to boil. Su Yao held a few large black bean pods in his hand, which were saponins. They acted as a catalyst in the process of making fine salt, just like some like tofu.

The concentration of the new brine was very high, and within a few minutes the hot brine reached the state where the salt was analyzed. The 'salt flower', that is, the salt crystals condensed at the bottom of the pot. Su Yao saw the timing and sprinkled the saponins into it, and the brine was successful. .

The addition of saponins makes the saturated salt crystals precipitate faster, and pure salt blocks like ancient rock sugar are formed in the bottom layer of the brine. Some people are responsible for pulling out these salt blocks and drying them in advance. on the shelf.

The shelf is also called "shower bed", which is built layer by layer with wood or bamboo plaques, and the person in charge continues to add new brine to the pot.

In this large courtyard, thirty people have a clear division of labor, those who add brine, those who fetch salt, and those who specialize in adding firewood and pulling stove ashes perform their duties without disturbing each other.

In the process of frying salt at high temperature, other substances that are harmful to humans in the salt block will be separated due to different melting degrees, and a very small amount of harmful substances that have not been separated need to be further processed.

The salt blocks on the shower bed were smashed and spread on the straw mats. The brine that had been put aside before came in handy, and the brine was sprinkled on the shower bed. The salt on the shower bed was saturated so it would not It is taken away by the moisture of the brine, and those harmful substances will melt in the water and flow out together.

The salt produced in this way is already edible. If you want better quality salt, use the same method to continue to use brine for several times to get better quality 'Snowflake Refined Salt'.

Su Yao looked at the first batch of salt that was about to come out, and his heart was a little excited, and his usual calm expression also changed: "Go and call the priest and Zhongli."

Shi Shi blushed with excitement and went out, and after a while Zhong Li walked in with the help of the trembling priest.

Once in the house, the first thing that catches the eye is the sharp white fine salt emerging from the clay pot.

"This is..." the priest murmured, losing his voice for a moment, and a line of tears fell from his face.

The eyes of the people around him were red like him, and it was nothing more than crying with joy.

"This is fine salt, Grandpa Priest." Su Yao had passed the excitement, but now he was in the mood to tease the priest: "I'm afraid you have never seen such white salt!"

The priest nodded again and again: "I have lived most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen such white salt." As he spoke, he twisted a little bit with his index finger and thumb, and put it in his mouth to savor it carefully.

After a while, the priest nodded again and again: "Okay, good salt, without a trace of bitter taste, hundreds of times better than the salt exchanged at the tribal assembly."

It took a long time to calm down from the excitement. The priest leaned on his crutches and laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

The new salt is still being refined, and the first batch of finished product is only [-] catties, and it is gratifying to look at in two special large clay pots.

And Su Yao finally had time to take care of what happened in the tribe during this period, and handed over the salt making to Shi Shi, and the three of them left the house together.

"Priest, what happened in the tribe after we left?" Su Yao asked bluntly, and the priest would not hide it:

"On the sixth day after you left, Suya learned from the new slave that there was another tribe in the west, but this slave also heard that tribe mentioned by others, and he didn't know the rest."

"We are afraid that you will meet people in that tribe. If it is a big tribe, you will suffer a loss. These days, not only me, but other people in the tribe are also worried about you."

Although Su Yao and Zhong Li were following, but seeing them come back safely, I was always uneasy.

Su Yao was interrupted by Zhong Li before he had time to comfort the little old man: "I never saw you so timid before."

The priest choked on Zhongli's words, and the originally warm scene suddenly changed: "Stinky boy, you put on a stinky face every day, and you can't even speak."

Even so, the priest is still happy, and he is in good spirits on happy occasions. He feels that he seems to be several years younger again, and the sentimentality just now has disappeared, and he is concerned about the affairs of the tribe again:

"When is the envoy going to distribute the salt to everyone?"

Su Yao looked at the sky, and the sun was only a foot away from the distant mountain: "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, gather in the big field, and the priest remembers to let your Ah Huoman cowhide drum."

Su Yao and Zhong Li sent the priest home, and they finally had time to take a breather. Although Su Yao didn't do any physical work during this time, he was exhausted from the mental output.

Su Yao, who grew up in the south, is the most uncomfortable with the saline-alkali climate. He didn't feel much about looking for salt before, but now he feels uncomfortable when he is free. He has to take a good bath and then sleep.

"I'm going to wash up, don't call me after dinner." After greeting Zhongli, he got up and put on a comfortable cotton robe. He didn't even bother to put his hands on the water, and the tub was filled with hot water, Su Yao Lie down and sigh contentedly.

Zhong Li tensed his back when he heard his voice, and it took him a long time to relax. He went to the bedroom with a gentle face to make the bed for the two of them.

Early the next morning, people in the tribe waited in advance on the field.

After the eight o'clock drum beat, the sound of assembly also sounded, and everyone stretched their necks with wooden bowls in their hands, waiting for the people on the high platform to appear.

Su Yao and Zhong Li were dressed in white clothes and stood on the high platform. Shi Shi led ten warriors to lift five large pottery vats.

Su Yao stood on the stage and raised his hand gently, and everyone calmed down and listened to him: "Salt is divided according to the head, two taels per person over the age of two, and half for those under the age of eight. According to the household registration statistics in the tribe, the family is the most important." The unit will send someone to pick it up."

Now most people in the tribe have learned characters, and the registration of household registration was completely perfected after Chu Shu handed it over. Soon there were three long lines in the big field, supervised by Su Yaozhongli and the priest. Individuals are responsible for weighing.

Chu Shu took the bamboo slips and compared everyone's household registration one by one, and those who were inappropriate were invited down.There were people at the back of the line watching the dwindling amount of salt and starting to riot.

"This salt is enough for everyone to temporarily overcome the crisis of salt shortage in the past few days. After a while, the tribe will distribute salt to everyone, so you don't need to rush to grab it."

While Su Yao was explaining to everyone, he was also beating those who couldn't bear their temper.

Su Yao's words were like divine words to the people of the Huangping tribe, they quickly calmed down and waited quietly.

The benefits of the zodiac scale are reflected at this moment, there is absolutely no more than two taels per person, and no one will accuse the weigher of being unfair and biased.

After working for more than two hours, the residents of the Huangping tribe had already received their own salt, and the rest were slaves owned by the tribe. Su Yao treated them equally and did not lose their share.

As soon as the salt was distributed, Chu Shan ran over in a hurry: "Master God Envoy, please go and have a look. Daman and Xiaoman are fighting."

Su Yao finds it interesting. The relationship between the two has always been very good. It stands to reason that they should be very affectionate after seeing each other for so long. How could they fight?

"It's really fighting, Xiaoman can't beat Daman.'"

Su Yao and Zhong Li looked at each other and smiled, since they were idle anyway, why not follow along to have a look.

In the corral where the bulls are imprisoned, the little man can't beat the big man as Chu Shan said, obviously the little man is crazy and uses his sharp horns to hold the big man, and the big man just avoids and defends passively. I didn't mean to hurt Xiaoman.

"I see how the one who suffers is Daman?" Su Yao questioned.

Chu Shan scratched his head in embarrassment: "I came to you immediately when I saw the two of them fighting. It stands to reason that Xiaoman should not be able to beat Daman, hehe."

People are biased. Chu Shan and Xiaoman lived together for such a long time, so their psychology naturally favored Xiaoman.

Hearing Su Yao's voice, all the barbarians stopped their movements and defended each other.

Su Yao reached out and knocked on the wooden fence: "Come over here, what's going on?"

Daman put his head against Su Yao's palm, and the vague consciousness came over. Su Yao almost laughed out of breath after hearing half of it.

Tomorrow the [-]D will drop hehe!
