Chapter 296: Descending the Mountain

The found linen cloth was folded in two layers and placed on top of an empty bucket. Xiao Han personally pressed the sackcloth to prevent it from falling into the bucket, and then shouted to Xiaodong: "Okay, don't mess up!" Pour that bucket in! ”

Xiaodong has been stirring up for a long time at this time, and he already feels that his two arms are about to break! Hearing Xiao Han say that there was no need to stir it anymore, the tears were about to fall, so he and a family general quickly lifted the bucket of unknown liquid and carefully poured it into the empty bucket in front of Xiao Han.

The turbid water was initially filtered through the linen, and a lot of things were blocked by the linen, so I lifted the cloth to see the liquid in the bucket. Yes, it's a little brighter than just now.

"Not yet, come again!" Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, then took a new linen cloth and continued to cover it on a new bucket.

This time, Xiao Lizi no longer stood alone, and also came over to help Xiao Han pull the filter cloth.

The water in the bucket was filtered three times in total, until the impurities were no longer visible on the surface of the linen, and Xiao Han called to stop.

I took the charcoal that Uncle Stunned had found, and then found a slightly smaller bucket. Let the stunned tree poke the bottom of the bucket out, spread a layer of linen cloth, and pour charcoal on top.

Finally, he rinsed back and forth with clean water several times, until the bottom of the bucket was full of clean water, and Xiao Han poured the water that had just been poured several times into the charcoal bucket little by little.

Because the charcoal was pressed very strongly, the water filtered out of the small bucket flowed very slowly, Xiao Han patiently poured water into it little by little, and it took a stick of incense to completely filter the bucket of water. At this time, the water in the bucket is completely clear!

"Well, it tastes right!" Dipping it in a little water and tasting it, Xiao Han sighed secretly. Not bad, very pure salt water! There's no more taste of the mess in it!

After the filtration process is completed, the next step is crystallization. In order to be faster, Xiao Han decided to cook it directly! Anyway, the ready-made cauldron, no need for nothing!

Tell the family to light the cauldron of roasted tea, and fill it with firewood.

A bucket of water was poured into the pot and after a while it tumbled, and the steam was so strong that it was almost impossible to see people.

Xiao Lizi squatted on the side, watching Xiao Han boiling water, and didn't ask any questions, just watched.

Anyone who has ever used this open-air stove knows that it cooks very fast! In addition, Uncle Stunned kept handing wood into it for a while, and the half bucket of water poured into it almost faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ceasefire!" When he saw that the water in the pot was left with the last little time, Xiao Han, who had been paying attention to the heat next to him, immediately shouted to stop!

"Draw wood!" Uncle Stunned, they didn't dare to hesitate, and took out the wood under the stove as soon as they heard Xiao Han's order! And at this time, the little water left in the pot is still sizzling!

Xiao Han held a scoop of water and looked at the pot nervously! Boiling salt is fast, but if you don't master the heat well, the salt will be mushy!

Fortunately, Xiao Han's skills in roasting tea have not been practiced in vain these days, and he has mastered the heat of this cauldron just right!

Between the billowing white smoke, the residual temperature of the iron pot dried the last trace of water inside. When the smoke clears, there will be a layer of white salt at the bottom of the pot!

"It's... Is it salt? Xiao Lizi came around, looked into the pot, and couldn't move his eyes anymore!

After he came here, just seeing Xiao Han fiddling with a bucket of water back and forth, he didn't know how the bucket of water turned into salt inexplicably in the end, could it be that Xiao Han had a bit of a kung fu about turning water into salt?!

"Is it salt, don't you know if you taste it?" Xiao Han instigated Xiao Lizi with ill intentions on the side, wanting him to be the first guinea pig to eat salt.

"Taste it, taste it!"

What Xiao Han didn't expect was that Xiao Lizi didn't even shirk! Directly took out the dagger and knocked it the salt block at the bottom of the pot.

......The salt cubes at the bottom of the pot shattered like cracked ice cubes, like cracked ice cubes.

Xiao Lizi reached out and picked up a bean-sized piece from it. He looked at Xiao Han hesitantly, closed his eyes, and threw it into his mouth at once.

Then, one of Li Shimin's faces wrinkled together......

"Well, it's salt! It's really salt! It's still the best green salt! Xiao Lizi covered her mouth and shouted indistinctly! Looking at Xiao Han again, his eyes were like seeing a ghost in broad daylight!

You must know that he is no better than Xiao Han! Xiao Han has been secretly opening a small stove in the past few days in Xiazhou, and eating all the refined salt brought by the family!

But Xiao Lizi is really gnawing vinegar cloth with the soldiers these days! The intestines that have been eaten all the time are almost stirred together, and now when I eat salt, I feel like I am in a different world!

"Salt, really salt! It's better than official salt! ”

And after Xiao Lizi shouted Qingyan's name, Uncle Zizi and they all went crazy suddenly! rushed over and grabbed around the cauldron, each holding a piece of salt, and stupidly stretched out their tongues to lick! Like a group of Pekingese around the rice bowl......

Crazy, all crazy!

Xiao Han really didn't expect that after he really made salt, the entire Xiazhou City would go crazy!

Xiao Lizi had red eyes, and arrogantly moved all the things that Xiao Han made salt! And not even an IOU!

And the eldest grandson Shunde, who later learned the news, personally escorted the guide to find the homeless people in the mountains! If it weren't for the bitter advice of other people in the city, it would be estimated that they would have arrived at Xiaoyang Mountain by now!

I can't go anymore, and a few pro-soldiers are holding their legs to death! The eldest grandson Shunde could only viciously assign more than a dozen people to the guide, and these people were the best martial arts people under him! It's okay to hit ten of them! He originally planned that if the soft one didn't work, he would just come to the hard one! In any case, finding the salt mine is a big achievement!

Personally sent a few people out of the city, and watched these people ride horses and follow the guide to the location of the mountain pass. Don't worry that the guide will run, several large ingots of gold ingots are in the hands of his old mother, and he successfully comes back, this is all his! Dare to run! Hmph, don't say that the old man is not righteous!

Coercion and inducement are always the most useful methods! Not to mention that he was carrying a solicitation letter written by Xiao Lizi in his arms! The above is true, as long as they tell the location of the salt mine, they will give whatever they want! Even if they don't plan to go down, that's nothing! Pick up the grain cloth at will! Xiazhou City will also supply it to them as much as the whole city does!

In the afternoon, the group entered the mountain, but did not come out in the evening. Xiao Lizi and the eldest grandson Shunde didn't sleep all night!

Before dawn the next day, the two of them ran to the city gate tower with panda eyes, looking at the direction of the mountain from afar.

The sun rose and the people did not return......

The sun is in the middle of the sky, and there is no human figure......

Just when the eldest grandson Shunde and Xiao Li Zi were full of disappointment, a small soldier suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted: "It's back!" The man is back! ”

"What? Where is it? "In a word! The two of them, who were still depressed just now, instantly resurrected with full blood, and rushed to the top of the city wall with a bang!

"Right there!" The soldier stretched out his arms and pointed forward, almost falling off the walls!

"Oh! See! Li Shimin's eyes widened and he looked forward vigorously, until he saw that he was dizzy. Only then did I see that in the extreme distance, there was a faint group of figures walking towards Xiazhou City!

"Woo ......"

There was a horn sounding next to it, which was a warning sound from the spies when they spotted an unknown crowd approaching!

"Stop blowing! Don't blow it! "The eldest grandson Shunde on the city wall roared loudly! Blowing line? In case I scare people back again, these 100,000 mountains, you can find me a salt mine!

The crowd in the distance also heard the sound of the horn and rioted for a moment. However, it soon returned to normal, and under the leadership of the first few people, it slowly approached Xiazhou City.
