Chapter 986: Flower of Salt
"The most expensive salt here, the so-called first-class salt, is the salt that crystallizes naturally in the center of the salt lake, and it is said that it can be harvested only one month a year, and the quantity of the harvest is very small, and because of the pink color of the salt, these salt dealers named this salt the salt of roses. ”
"This rose salt is scarce in quantity, so it is very expensive, and it is said that if you sprinkle a little rose salt on something that is unpalatable, it will make it taste better. However, this salt, which is said to be the best in the world, seems to be hard to come by now. ”
Su Qingqing directly informed Huo Chi of the answer, but it made him more and more curious. The name "Salt of Roses" is similar to the expensive salt of the original world called the Flower of Salt.
Both kinds of salt are natural crystals, both are harvested in few months, the salt flower has a clear and rich taste, and a faint violet fragrance, so what about the salt of roses? Is it the smell of roses?
Salt is arguably the most important of all seasonings, and most dishes will taste bland if they are not seasoned with salty agents such as salt.
Salt is the king of all kinds of flavors, and without it, cooks would not be able to cook a wide variety of foods.
The reason why the salt flower is delicious is because there are a large number of trace elements in the natural crystalline salt, so the taste is rich and soft, which will not rob the taste of the food, and can highlight the delicious taste of the ingredients themselves, so it will be expensive.
What about the salt of roses? Is it as delicious as the flower of salt? Huo Chi's foodie soul instantly burned, he was so curious, the first-class salt here, no matter what, he had to buy a little bit to taste, otherwise it would be a waste to come to this world.
"Just know how to eat!" Abu popped up at some point, seemingly dissatisfied with Huo Chi's personality that was always attracted to ingredients.
"How can you upgrade if you don't eat it?" Huo Chi couldn't help but ask, "Abu, do you know this rose salt?"
"Of course I know pull. Abu said, "Can I not know such a famous salt?"
"Then I'm really more curious, I'll buy some later. Huo Chi's heart was full of reverie, and the legendary rose salt seemed to bloom before his eyes.
"Stop!" In the distance, a guard seemed to start checking the passing vehicles, and Huo Chi noticed that the paid man had already gotten out of the car, and he handed the customs clearance materials and the caravan's documents to a soldier wearing a light gray military uniform with a long turban wrapped around his head.
Huo Chi suddenly found that these soldiers looked like people from those oil-producing countries in the desert of the original world, and they also wore similar white turbans around their heads. The soldiers' skin was almost a light brown color, which contrasted sharply with the light clothing.
There are also a small number of subhumans among the soldiers defending the city, and the species of subhumans are quite peculiar, in addition to the less common lizard people, there are some subhumans who look like camels.
These camel subhumans also have a big bag bulging behind their backs, as if they are humps, and they are very heavy to look at.
"Qingqing, are those camel people?" Huo Chi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Well, they are camel people, and it is said that most of the camel people in the subcontinent are concentrated here. Su Qingqing's answer confirmed his thoughts. Soon, Huo Chi saw several stranger subhumans among the soldiers.
They are well-proportioned, slightly shorter than camels, and have a layer of fine pale hair on their faces, which makes them seem to bear some resemblance to dog people.
But their faces are round, not as long as dog people, if it weren't for the fact that their eyes are all sharp, Huo Chi would think they look cute.
"What kind of subhumans are they?" Huo Chi obviously didn't study the history of subhumans on the continent well, and he basically relied on Meng for the varieties of subhumans except for the common ones.
"Well, they're snow sealers. Su Qingqing said: "It is said that 80% of the snow seals in the subcontinent are also concentrated here. ”
"It's strange that camel people are drought-tolerant in such a place, so why are seal people here? Huo Chi's heart was full of questions, no matter what, the living habits of the subhumans were still very close to their kind.
Terrestrial subhumans prefer to live on land, and aquatic subhumans certainly prefer to live near water. If they are called Snow Seal People, why do they stay in this dry Gobi Desert and not go to the beach?
"Because it used to be an inland sea connected to the sea, but then the climate changed here, and the inland sea was cut off from the sea, and it gradually became the so-called Dead Sea. As the water evaporated further, the place eventually became what is now Salt Lake Town. ”
Su Qingqing explained: "These snow seal people are the descendants of those snow seal people who migrated from the open sea, and although the sea water is gone, they stayed. ”
"Oh, I see. Huo Chi nodded, no wonder he saw a lot of sub-people by the sea here, it turned out that this place was originally an inland sea.
It's hard to imagine that this was once the sea. The sea has completely disappeared, replaced by the endless Gobi Desert.
This place is bare everywhere, because the salt content of the ground is too high, almost no grass grows, in the huge Gobi, except for the tall white city wall in front of it, there is nothing prominent.
Huo Chi sighed, it was really a vicissitude, the great changes in this world continued, and I don't know where this monster incident would eventually lead the world.
"Alright, it's finally released. Xiao Jian kept looking ahead intently, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he returned to the car with a smile.
Seeing that it was getting late, if I didn't enter the city, wouldn't I have to spend the night in the terrible Gobi, there was no shelter in this place, and the monsters attacked me, and there was no place to hide.
The convoy started slowly again, and after the truck blocking the view in front was slightly away, Huo Chi finally saw the true face of this salt lake town.
The white walls, which were also made of salt, had now been dyed golden red by the setting sun, and the salt particles on the walls reflected a little light, as if the fiery red starry sky was sprinkled on the city walls.
He had never seen such a magnificent and poignant scenery before, and Huo Chi felt that if Salt Lake Town did not sell salt in the future, they could make some money from tourists with such wonderful scenery.
"Click. Huo Chi couldn't help but pick up his mobile phone and take a standard photo of this salt lake town, Su Qingqing watched Huo Chi's relaxed actions from the side, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"I remember that there was no military headquarters and no expedition camp in this place, and we still had to live with them who paid for it, and it was really troublesome for a long time. The light in the car was getting dimmer and dimmer, Fu Ze had to put away the map, he looked ahead with some concern, the street lights on both sides of the street had been lit, but the road ahead was still a little dim.
