Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 26 Filtration and Salt Making (Merry Christmas)
After only one night, not even one night, Wang Qian's emotionless voice sounded outside the door.

Under the service of Lao Zhong, he put on his clothes and even before he had time to eat, Feng Zhidai's horse face appeared in front of him.

"I said chestnut, can you hurry up? I have been waiting for you for almost half an hour. My father said that today we must produce finished salt, otherwise we will punish me!"

"It's none of my business to clean you up?" Zhang Yi held willow branches and snow-white salt while brushing his teeth with Wang Qian's distressed eyes. After brushing his teeth, he rinsed his mouth with water. Only to arrive: "Aren't you just making some salt? It's a trivial matter! Wait for the buddy to eat first!"

Wang Qian's face immediately darkened, and his huge fists were bulging with veins. He was already trying his best to suppress his emotions. If Feng An hadn't told him that he really had the urge to blow away the lazy guy in front of him!It's already Chen Shi, and the sun is coming out before him, but he is still dawdling. Doesn't this kid know how much more salt he can cook a minute earlier?

Slowly drank a bowl of gruel, and as for the food, he didn't touch it. A large group of boiled vegetable dumplings sprinkled with a few salts was disgusting at first glance. Compared with the kimchi he made in Haifeng It is simply a sky and an underground.

When the group arrived at the beach, there was already a large group of government soldiers sitting and waiting in groups.

"Second Young Master, Captain Wang"

The veterans stood up and saluted respectfully, and then waited for orders.

Looking at the cauldron set up next to him and a bunch of items listed last night, Zhang Yi nodded.Without making any discounts, the big tank is definitely big enough, even if it is the kind that Sima Guang can't break with a stone, there is also linen, and a whole dozen or so horses are neatly put aside, even the wood for the tank is freshly cut Bai Mu, it can be seen that both Feng An and Wang Qian attach great importance to this matter.

"Take care of the process, I'll just do it once, and then you guys will do it." Zhang Yi greeted two relatively strong veterans to help him, first hung the big tank on the cypress bracket, and then ordered them to make one under the tank. small hole.

"Okay, why did you make a hole?" Feng Zhidai was very disdainful when he saw Zhang Yi's prodigal behavior, although he didn't stop him, he still muttered.

"Do you understand filtration? It is to filter out the impurities in the sea water!"

After talking for a long time, looking at the blank faces of everyone in front of him, Zhang Yi felt that his words were in vain.He now feels the phrase 'the people can be made to know it, but not to be made to know it! ’ How true that statement is, because it’s really hard to explain to them.

When you tell them that the purpose of making holes in the bottom of the tank is for the seawater to flow out from there, they will ask you why you don’t just scoop the seawater into the iron pot. Zhang Yi wonders, if you can just scoop the seawater into the pot to cook Salt still needs to be taught by yourself?

Ignoring these uneducated guys, after seeing that the veteran opened a small hole the size of an egg in the bottom of the tank according to his own requirements, he spread the linen in three layers inside the tank and three layers outside, and then washed it again. The pebbles' clap clap! After pouring most of it into the vat, we started to spread the linen. In the end, there was only a little space on the top of the whole vat for pouring water into it later.

"Build a stone ladder here that is suitable for you to go up and pour water, and you can add water here on the stone ladder later!" Zhang Yi gestured, and beckoned to the rest of the people to follow his method and set it up next to him. Several such large tanks.

There are a lot of impurities in the seawater, and the preliminary filtration cannot meet the requirements for direct consumption. What he needs to do now is to filter it several times to achieve the best filtration effect under limited conditions.

Just made a sample, and Zhang Yi was exhausted. It really wasn’t material for doing physical work. Seeing the veterans working vigorously, Zhang Yi felt that he should repair his body in the next few days. If things go on like this, I estimate that it won't be long before it will become a pile of waste meat.

In less than half an hour, the five large vats were set up, and all of them were covered with stones and linen according to Zhang Yi's template.

"Can it be done?" Feng Zhidai watched the old soldier keep pouring seawater from one tank, then caught it with a bucket and walked towards the other tank. After several repetitions, his heart became more and more uncertain.

In his opinion, this is not salt making at all, but a children's play house. If he hadn't seen the snowflake salt that Zhang Yi took out earlier, he probably would not have doubts but affirmation.

Not only him, but also Wang Qian, and even the veterans at work felt that it was unreliable to make snow-white salt by pouring sea water upside down?

"What do you think?" Zhang Yi smiled at Feng Zhidai, squatted down and lit the firewood under the iron pot, and said, "Some things look simple to you, but in fact there are a lot of knowledge in them, which you can't understand with your current wisdom. This point, like the filtering I just told you, you don’t know the purpose of doing it!
For them, I just need to tell them how to do it, but you must know that the reason why I filter the seawater repeatedly is actually to remove the things we don’t need in it, and the seawater with a lot of salt is retained in the end. After cooking, we can get the salt we need!

Of course, even our repeated filtering is actually only edible, and it still takes a long way to go before it becomes the purest salt! "

You can't explain too much to Feng Zhidai, if you explain too much, you need to add chemical knowledge to it, so the little knowledge he has won't be helpful to him, and it may make him into a dead end From then on, he couldn't help himself and became a muddled fool.

As for Wang Qian, it is much simpler. Since Zhang Yi dared to do this, in his opinion, he is absolutely [-]% sure. Apart from staring at Zhang Yi's every process without blinking, he even allocated a The team members are on alert, if there is a guy who has eaten the guts of a leopard and dares to peek at the side, I believe that the horizontal knife in the hands of those veterans will definitely cut off the heads of those people without hesitation.

The seawater gradually changed from off-white to colorless under continuous filtration, and then it was poured into the iron pot. Watching the solution bubbling in the pot, Zhang Yi finally had time to rest. All he had to do now was wait, wait. When the moisture is completely evaporated, it reveals something that surprises everyone.
