Chapter 220: Learning from the Pain
After coaxing Qing Lingyu, Zhou Manman learned from his mistakes and decided to make a schedule. Although it was very embarrassing to say it, without this step, there would be more and more conflicts.
Thinking of Xiaoya's dictatorial and overbearing personality.
Zhou Manman had a headache and immediately decided, "Is this all right?"
There are seven days in a week, and Zhou Manman marked three days and let them choose for themselves, one day each.
Lin was a little disappointed. "But this is too little, isn't it? We can each have two days..."
Zhou Manman blushed and raised her hand to refuse, "Stop!"
"Okay, stop. Let's go check out the salt pan today to see if it's ready."
Qing Lingyu was very happy with this decision and responded, "Okay."
Finally, he asked, "Do you need to prepare anything?"
Zhou Manman thought for a while and said, "Let's go and have a look first. We have to try it out first. If it doesn't work, we have to think of other ways."
"it is good."
The three of them walked towards the salt fields.
The salt pan has gone through two or three rounds of evaporation, and now a layer of white crystals has formed on the surface.
Zhou Manman squatted down in one of the salt fields, picked up a bit of white crystal with his hands, put it in his mouth and tasted it. It tasted salty, but at the same time also bitter and astringent. Qing Lingyu had obviously discovered this problem as well.
Looking at Manman, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Zhou Manman smiled and said, "There is still a next step."
Zhou Manman asked two people to help collect the coarse salt, but because there was no plastic film underneath, most of the coarse salt was mixed with mud and sand. The two people were collecting it carefully, but when Zhou Manman saw how cautious they were, she quickly told them to do whatever they wanted, saying that it was okay even if there was some mud and sand.
After collecting a full bamboo tube, Zhou Manman waved his hand and said, "Okay, just let the water evaporate the rest."
After filling the water, several people went to the beach and picked up a lot of shells.
Anlina had picked up a lot of shells before. After she went back, she strung them together and tied them in front of the door. When the wind blew, they made tinkling sounds. When Manman passed by, she said they were beautiful. Could it be that Manman also wanted one like that?
Thinking this, Lin looked for the shells very carefully. He did not even look at the ugly ones and carefully selected many beautiful shells.
Zhou Manman wanted to say something, but seeing that Lin was very excited, she silently decided to keep the ones he had picked.
Zhou Manman was actually looking for shells mainly to obtain quicklime. He could also find limestone, but it was obviously more convenient to obtain it using shells.
After arriving home, Zhou Manman directed the two people to light a fire, then took out the stone mill from the space, fixed it in the middle of the yard, and then placed the shells in the stone pot to roast.
He kept Lin's portion aside and said, "Manman, aren't you going to make this shell into a hanging shape?"
"That's also the case."
Lin heard this and nodded happily.
Zhou Manman boiled coarse salt with fresh water, then used a stone mill to grind the shells into fine powder, added fresh water and boiled them into lime milk solution, and then added the lime milk solution to the boiled coarse salt. As time passed, impurities slowly appeared.
Qing Lingyu watched Manman handle everything with ease.
I couldn't help but feel curious about what would appear in a while.
Zhou Manman took out the animal skin that she had prepared in advance. It was covered with many tiny holes pierced by fish bones and had been washed clean.
After the pot of salt water cooled down for a while and was no longer boiling hot, Zhou Manman asked Lin to pour the salt water onto the animal skin to filter it. The filtered salt water was free of impurities such as mud and sand.
Continue to heat and evaporate the water that has been filtered out of impurities until the water is boiled dry, and what comes out is clean, white, fine salt.
This salt is better than the usual coarse salt and rock salt, but compared with the fine salt Zhou Manman used before, it is still not as white, a little beige, but it is very good in comparison.
Qing Lingyu picked up some and tasted it, his eyes suddenly lit up. The bitterness unique to sea salt was gone. The salty taste was very strong, even better than rock salt.
He looked at the little female with a complicated expression, "Manman, what kind of place is it that you live in?"
Talking about that place, Zhou Manman inevitably had some yearning in her heart, "It's a very beautiful place. Males eat the same food as females. Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Let's quickly take this salt to show the tribe leader. I believe the tribe leader will be very happy."
Zhou Manman said as he put the salt into the bamboo tube.
A few people went to the chief's residence to find him, but were told that the chief had gone to the beach and today was the day when the first group of orcs who went out fishing would return.
"So fast, I feel like they just went out!"
"They have been gone for more than half a month." Lin Ke knew the day they left, because this selection took away all the stronger orcs in the tribe, resulting in no one being able to beat him now. However, compared with Jiao and others, there was still a gap.
So Lin is now in a very complicated situation and can only practice his innate power every day.
"Then let's go and take a look."
When they arrived, the orcs had already disembarked in high spirits. There was no danger at all for them to go out this time, which was a huge encouragement to the orcs in the tribe!
You should know that there are no strong men who can refine the internal organs going with them this time, because the strong men in the tribe have gone to hunt the disgusting beasts. These beastmen who went there are indeed stronger, but they can still catch up if they try hard!
Inspired by this atmosphere, the tribe was filled with joy, and the nets were filled with fish.
Zhou Manman showed the prepared salt to the patriarch.
The clan leader took a closer look and his eyes lit up immediately. "This, this! Did you really make this, Manman? Is it made by evaporating seawater?"
Zhou Manman smiled and nodded, "Yes."
The clan leader laughed and stood up, saying repeatedly: "Good! Good!"
With this salt, plus going out to fish, how could their tribe not survive! Soon they would be able to win the first place in the tribal election, and then those orcs who thought he was leading a tribe in the mountains would be slapped in the face!
The patriarch stared at the vast sea with a slight gleam in his eyes.
The orcs were also shocked by the chief's smile. When had they seen the chief laugh so happily and unrestrainedly? What did that female say to the chief?
After a while, the orcs found out. After being shocked, they couldn't believe it.
how can that be possible!
Many people in the tribe knew that Zhou Manman cooked delicious food and was very smart, but Kashiwan didn’t know that. They were asking questions like crazy, and Millie’s look was the most complicated.
The beastmen passed the bamboo tube around, each of them took some and tasted it, and they kept praising Zhou Manman with joy.
