Chapter 24 Refining Salt
In the evening, Ye Hesu didn't cook with much fanfare, she tried the remaining few bamboo shoots, and padded her stomach a little.

Before going to bed, she carefully inspected the surrounding dangers to avoid lurking beasts and mutant creatures nearby. Fortunately, this place is not very suitable for mutant creatures to survive, so Ye Hesu is still safe for the time being.

She lit a fire at the entrance of the cave, and gradually fell asleep.

There was nothing to say all night, Ye Hesu slept soundly.

She woke up several times during the night, and after checking that there was no danger on the map, she fell asleep peacefully until dawn.

After a brief wash, she took another bamboo rat and an iron pot, and came to the riverside. The riverside is very lively today, probably because yesterday's bloody smell was too strong, which attracted many carnivorous animals.

Includes a big cat, the tiger.

Ye Hesu was speechless, so he could only run to the upper reaches of the river, slaughter the bamboo rat, and then throw the bamboo rat's internal organs on the river bank. The purpose of doing this was also to attract the attention of those carnivorous animals.

Sure enough, after a while she saw the tiger walking up the river on the map, and she hurriedly took the washed bamboo rats around in a big circle, and came to the place where the clay was placed yesterday.

She first checked the degree of drying of the reeds, "It's not too dry, it's almost enough to dry for a day today."

Put down the reeds, carry the clay on your back, scoop up a pot of clear water, and quickly return to the shelter.

Ye Hesu set up the pot, made a simple bamboo rat and stir-fried bamboo shoots, took a bite, and shook his head with a look of disgust, "It's too bland, eating like this is a waste of food, it seems that we must extract the reed salt tonight Just do it."

After eating, she started to collect firewood nearby. She collected a lot, and it took most of the day. When there was enough firewood, she started to carry water again.

Some of the bamboos that were cut down before were specially made into bamboo tubes to hold water. Although not too much can be filled, it is barely enough to make a few more.

Ye Hesu ran back and forth four times before filling all the bamboo tubes. When everything was ready, he began to make mud.

She put the clay on the big rock and broke it piece by piece.

After crushing, use a fishing net folded several layers to filter out all the impurities in the clay, so that a pot of relatively fine clay is obtained.

After that, muddy the clay with clear water, and then settle it quietly. After the soil has settled down, pour off the excess muddy water on it, and you will get a large piece of clay that can be fired into pottery.

While waiting for the clay to settle, Ye Hesu began to refine the salt.

First of all, she cut out a thigh-thin bamboo as a bamboo tube, pierced a few holes in the bottom of the bamboo tube, and then piled the dried reeds on a large rock, lit a fire, and burned them. Heap of ash.

Ye Hesu carefully collected the reed ash, put it in a bamboo tube with holes, and placed a bamboo tube without holes under the bamboo tube, and then slowly poured clean water from above.

The clear water and reed ash slowly merge, and then drip into the bamboo tube below to form dark gray water, and then filter the gray water with a bamboo tube filled with cotton.

Where does the cotton come from?
She unpacked some of the sleeping bag and got a small handful of cotton.

After secondary filtration, Ye Hesu obtained a small bamboo tube of reed ash water.

This time, she needed to use a big iron pot. When she came to the big iron pot, she looked at the sedimentation level of the clay. At this time, the muddy water in the pot was no longer so turbid, and the clay had obviously settled down.

Ye Hesu smiled, and said to the aerial camera, "Now the clay has settled, just pour off the water on it, and we can knead pottery.

As she spoke, she tilted the iron pan, and the water in it flowed out from the edge. After the water was charged out, she dug out the sticky clay inside and placed it on a large rock to dry.

"Let's dry it for a while, and when the clay can be kneaded, it can be cast." Ye Hesu pointed to the clay and explained.

"Okay, next I'm going to rinse the iron pot and start refining the aloe salt."

Clean the iron pot, put it on the fire, put the reed ash water in the iron pot, keep pushing the reed ash water to the wall of the pot with bamboo sticks, and when the water evaporates completely, milky white crystals will form on the wall of the pot .

And these crystals are aloe salt.

Ye Hesu carefully scraped out the aloe salt, wrapped it with a palm leaf, and put it in the charcoal fire, letting the loose aloe salt crystals solidify together to form aloe salt block.

The moment they saw Lu Yan, the netizens in the live broadcast room went crazy. What kind of fairy operation is this?
Since Ye Hesu said yesterday that he wanted to refine table salt, netizens were not optimistic about it. They had never heard of anyone who could use reeds to refine table salt. This seemed like a fairy tale.

And there are many netizens who are so bored that they found a reed and chewed it. Not to mention, the reed stalk really has a little salty taste, but this salty taste is basically negligible, so netizens I don't believe that Ye Hesu can extract table salt from reeds.

Then, when they saw Ye Hesu scraping out a small jar of reed salt from the side of the pot, they all fell silent.

"Maybe, isn't that salt?"

Some netizens said unwillingly.

"Wouldn't it be salt if we did an experiment?"

At this time, a self-proclaimed botanical expert jumped out.

"I can testify that reeds can indeed extract reed salt, and this reed salt is delicious, better than sea salt, but due to the coming of the end of the world, many of these ancient cultures will disappear. I saw it on the show of Survival of the Last Days, and I am really grateful to this contestant."

"Damn it. The upstairs is a real-name certified expert. It seems that Susu's wave is stable again."

"666, Susu really knows a lot, even an expert knows it, but I don't know where she learned it from."

"Don't understand +1"

"Look, Susu is going to knead pottery, and I don't know if she will succeed."

"A woman who can extract reed salt, I guess pottery should not be a problem for her."

"This is not necessarily the case upstairs. The firing of pottery is very difficult, and the degree of heat is very particular. If it is not good, there is a risk of frying the furnace. If you are not particularly skilled in pottery, it is difficult to control this process, let alone still in this It was completed under difficult conditions, and I think it should be impossible without the aid of tools."

"Why do you care so much, don't you know if it's okay after a while?"

"Come here, do you want to take a gamble? I bet that Susu can make pottery, and I bet a hundred doomsday coins."

"I'm coming too, I can't bet, three hundred doomsday coins."

"If you want to come, come to the big one, I will give you a thousand doomsday coins."

"Upstairs, my brother will tell you what is big, and I will give you five thousand doomsday coins."

"There are so many rich people, so I'll come for three thousand, bet!"

Soon, the live broadcast room on the 15th became the gathering place for this group of netizens to gamble. It was just a joke, but in the end, the gambling became bigger and bigger, and finally the live broadcast room was warned by the platform.

But the netizens had already started a fight, so another group chat was formed in private.
It has to be said that the appearance of Ye Hesu actually allowed this class of netizens to find a way to get rich.
