Chapter 252 Refined Salt
Drying salt is a very complicated matter, and the results cannot be seen in a day or two.

After introducing seawater on the first day, it will take a relatively long process until the seawater is basked out of salt.

During this process, the water canal must be frequently dug, and the seawater will be let in when the tide is high. After the water is stored, the water canal will be blocked again, and the water will be continuously added in this way. The salt content in the sea water will become higher and higher, and it will White sea salt precipitated out.

It is not time to harvest after the sea salt has crystallized, and it is necessary to continue to irrigate and expose to the sun until the sea salt that has been sun-dried can be piled up, so that the salt is truly sun-dried.

However, this is only the first step in real salt production. Sea salt contains a lot of impurities, including some floating matter, small fish and shrimp, shells, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, etc., which are still far away from being edible. some distance.

Since the first water storage in Yantian, everyone has come to Yantian every day to have a look, just like visiting their own children.

Now there is a step path from the cave to the beach, which is very convenient, and it saves trouble to go back and forth.

In this way, I came to check every day. Until the seventh day, the salt field stopped letting in water. On the tenth day, the water inside was evaporated and there was not much left. Two tall salt piles were piled up in the salt field. .

On this day, everyone came to Yantian and looked at the dazzling white salt pile. The sense of accomplishment in their hearts was unparalleled. No words can describe the mood of everyone at this time.

For the first time, sea salt was successfully exposed on the island.

It is not only the salt that is exposed, but also means that they have mastered the technology of drying salt since then, which means that they can conquer the sea and obtain the salt necessary for life from the sea!

When I came to the island, I started from scratch. At first, even making a fire was a crushing thing. Now I can use seawater to dry salt. This step seems easy. Only those who have experienced it can understand the hardships, but for For a few people on the island, it was enough to move them to tears.

"What beautiful salt!"

Tang Guo was the most childish among them. When he saw the salt piled up in a small hill, he couldn't help but pounce on it, as if plopping on a pile of cotton candy.

In addition to being happy, Tang Guo dipped a little sea salt into his mouth with his fingers, and the moment he entered the mouth, his two cute little eyebrows frowned, and he shook his head quickly: "Bah, bah, bah, it's so bitter!"

The appearance of the little girl caused everyone to laugh.

Song Zhixi said from the side: "The freshly dried sea salt cannot be eaten directly, it has to be processed and purified, so that the refined salt produced can be eaten."

Tang Guo looked curious and asked, "How can I process and purify it into refined salt?"

"Well, then I have to ask Brother Fang, he has already figured out a solution." Song Zhixi looked at Fang Gengly.

Tang Guo came to Fang Fang and asked excitedly: "Brother, how can we purify sea salt?"

Fang Fang looked confident, patted his chest and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago, everything is on me."

"Can you tell me a little bit?" Tang Guo looked forward to it.

"It's not impossible to disclose it to you, but you have to help me with one thing." Fang Fang kept it close.

Tang Guo couldn't help but nodded, "Yeah, I'll definitely help."

Fang Fang proudly said: "That's easy, go and make clay pots with your sister Qingman."

Li Qingman was also curious, and asked: "Aren't there still many pottery pots in the cave, why do we need pottery pots?"

"It's not a small pot for cooking. This time I want a big one, preferably the size of a water tank."

Equation specially picked up a branch and drew the shape of the clay pot he wanted on the ground. The shape of the pot is similar to that of an ordinary wok, but the bottom of the pot is flat and the pot is very shallow.

"You want this?"

"Yes, such a pot is most suitable for boiling water to make salt."

"If you want, I have no problem here."

"How long will it take to make it?"

"At least three days."

Fang Fang said: "Okay, in three days time we will come here to make salt with pots. In addition to the pots, remember to prepare a few large tanks for storing salt."

Li Qingman nodded and said: "This is not difficult, it just takes some time, just leave it to me."

Tang Guo jumped out, hugged Li Qingman's hand, and said cutely: "There is also me, I can also help Sister Qingman."

"Okay, then this difficult task will be entrusted to you two."

"Thank you brother, we will definitely complete the task!"

Seeing that Li Qingman had a mission, Song Zhixi asked, "What about us?"

Fang Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, we also have our tasks."

To make refined salt, it is not enough to have a pot, but also a stove, so the three of Equation and the others stayed to build a stove.

Considering the problem of transportation, the place where the salt is produced should not be too far from the salt field, and the best place is in the woods next to the salt field.

So Fang Fang brought A Yue and Song Zhixi here to reclaim an open space, and built a simple and strong stove with mud and stones on the open space.

After the stove is built, it is time to prepare firewood. When the time comes to purify the refined salt, there needs to be a fire in the stove all the time, and all preparations must be done in advance.

Although it is true that it is busy, everyone is very busy and positive.

Li Qingman and Tang Guo were conscientiously making the special pottery pots needed by the equation at the pottery base on the east side of the island; the equation took Song Zhixi and A Yue to build the stove and prepare firewood.

Time passed quickly, and three days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time to make refined salt.

On this day, everyone first went to the pottery base in the east of the island, where they witnessed the birth of the special pottery pot, and then brought the pottery pot to Yantian.

The forest next to the salt field has already been cleared out, and there is an extra earthen stove, a pile of firewood, and several large water tanks.

The stove and firewood are understandable, but those big water tanks make people a little confused. Seeing that they are all filled with water, Tang Guo's head is full of question marks, and he pulls the equation and asks: "Brother, what are you doing?" Why have you prepared so many water tanks?"

Equation explained triumphantly: "The water in it is not ordinary water, it is a filtered sea salt solution, and all of it is sea salt from which impurities have been removed."

"Oh, no wonder! So yesterday you asked me to borrow clothes for filtering!" Li Qingman who was on the side suddenly realized.

"That's right, to purify the sea salt in the salt pan, it has to be dissolved in clean fresh water first, and then the impurities in it are filtered out, and the filtered salt water can be processed to get the refined salt we want." The equation is telling everyone. Explain the method and steps of how to extract the refined salt. With these filtered brine solutions, the next step is to pour the brine into the special clay pot for cooking, so that the refined salt can be precipitated quickly.

Li Qingman couldn't wait, and urged: "Then what are you waiting for, let's start."
