through the ancient times

The things in the bag were prepared by the team leader who took them into the jungle. His disappearance may have caused a lot of trouble for that honest veteran man.Thinking so, Yang Jun put the things back into the bag one by one in his hands, leaving only the anti-inflammatory ointment, and led Adi to the water's edge to wash his scalded blisters, then blotted the water with the animal skin and rubbed the ointment.

Adi watched Yang Jun draw the floating white liquid onto his hands, and the burst of coolness reduced the heat a lot.

"No, dip, water," Yang Jun pointed to the water, indicating not to dip in the water after applying the ointment.In the end, I took a replacement hiking shoe for Adi to change. Unfortunately, the shoe size is not enough and I can only walk with it, but it can relieve the burden of scalded feet.

"Ayang, you, yes," Adi took off his shoes and re-tied them into his backpack. He didn't know much Chinese so he couldn't explain clearly, but he had already shown it with actions.His foot injury is not serious, and he doesn't want to waste Yang Jun's things.

Yang Jun couldn't screw him, so he buried his emotion in his heart and took care of Adi more attentively.In two days, the burn wounds on Adi's body were fully healed. On the same day, Adi took Yang Jun to a lake.

The lake is not big, about three or four acres in size, the water is clear but bottomless, and the breeze brings a slightly wet and salty smell.Yang Jun sniffed hard, stepped forward to dip his hand in the water in the lake in surprise, licked it, and spit it out.

Eddie smiled and blinked.

Yang Jun didn't mind either. He knew that Adi came to the lake to collect salt. Compared with the meager and unclean rough salt collected from rocks, he had a way to get a lot of salt and it was refined salt.However, in order to retaliate against Adi, Yang Jun did not explain in advance, but went to get a large piece of clean leaves and buried them in the low-lying area he dug, and then dug the soil to introduce lake water.

Adi didn't know, and thought Yang Jun was just playing.He lowered his head and continued to carefully touch the salt grains on the rocks.

When the lake water was drained, Yang Jun clapped his hands and saw that Adi was still making salt on the rock, raised his eyebrows and hid in the shade to sleep.After waking up, the low-lying water had dried up, and the fine gray-brown coarse salt grains settled on the leaves. Yang Jun collected these coarse salt grains and poured them into clay pots, added some lake water, and put them on the fire. All the salt grains are dissolved into the lake water, and another clay pot is covered with a fine cotton hanging shirt, and then the dissolved salt water is poured into the pot, so that fine sand or impurities in the salt water can be removed by filtration.For the second filtration, Yang Jun folded the cotton hanging shirt to make two layers. It took a lot of effort, but the salt obtained after filtration is almost the same as the refined salt eaten in modern times.

The fine white refined salt of one-fifth of the earthen pot is incomparable in weight with the coarse salt of the half-ceramic pot picked by Adi, but at night Yang Jun roasted the fragrant roast rabbit with very little refined salt, Adi was overwhelmed by the sheer delicacy.There is no earthy taste of coarse salt and no danger of coarse salt grains breaking the teeth, and only half the amount of coarse salt can fully prepare food.

Adi touched Yang Jun's face, and the next day he went into the woods to pick some wild fruits for Yang Jun to pick and eat.Using actions instead of words, Adi rewarded Yang Jun in his own way.

After breakfast, Bi Adi helped dig three low-lying areas, spread the leaves to divert the lake water, wait for the lake water to dry, collect coarse salt grains, and use yesterday's method to filter out a clay pot full of refined salt.

Yang Jun dipped some refined salt with his fingers and put it on his tongue, perhaps because the salt water was boiled more today and the poisonous substance was evaporated, and it felt finer than yesterday's refined salt.This is a good sign, Yang Jun shook his head and tied the mouth of the can tightly with a kind of leaf that would not break easily, and went to bed early to prepare for the journey tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Adi left it for another day, brewing and filtering out the refined salt in a clay pot according to the law.

One clay pot is enough to hold fifteen catties of refined salt, and two pots are thirty catties. According to the amount of 15 grams per person per day and 30 grams for two people, Yang Jun broke his fingers, 10 grams for 300 days, 900 grams for one month, 1.8 catties It weighs two catties, 30 divided by 2 equals 15, Yang Jun touched his forehead and sweated wildly, one year and three months, is this the only salt lake in this continent? !

Yang Jun thought that there was too much salt. After all, carrying a weight of thirty catties was a burden, but Adi insisted that he could walk like flying with two clay pots in one hand. Yang Jun's eyes twitched when he saw it.

As the sun rose and the sun set, Yang Jun followed Adi and walked up the stream for five days, wading through mountains and rivers to find a source of water when Yang Jun's feet were callused.A clear spring spouts from the ground and splashes crystal waves. The clear and cool spring water flows down to a small waterfall. Not far from the waterfall is a large flat land. Standing on the flat ground and looking forward is The hills and hills piled up with peaks and ridges look back at the steep mountain walls.

It is a very beautiful place, the most important thing is that Adi found several dry and habitable caves in the mountain wall.

"Yi, later, here." Adi said each word in Chinese, and Yang Jun raised his hand to show that he knew.Surrounded by mountains and backed by water, the mountain wall is steep and there is no need to worry about being attacked from all sides. Because the water is the source, there is no need to worry about being contaminated by wild animals. The flat land in front of the mountain wall is the best place to build a house.Of course, it's still a bit early to talk about the house, the first thing to do is to settle down in the cave.

Yang Jun put all his things away in the cave, took a bundle of dead animal skins from the boss to the deep valley downstream to wash them, and reluctantly opened a piece of concentrated soap.In order to save money, Yang Jun first spread out the animal hide with clean water to rinse it, then spread it out and use concentrated soap to walk it quickly, knead it into rich foam with his hands, rub it carefully, and don't rush to wash it.

Adi cut and cleared the weeds on the flat ground and waist, walked over and pressed the large animal hides into the water, washed them clean, and spread them out in the sun.

Yang Jun straightened his back, the animal skin that had been soaked with water was so heavy that he could hardly lift it, but Adi could shake it like a play.Sigh, people are more popular than others, even if they refuse to accept it!
