Chapter 25 Salt Refining

Under the blazing sun.

Tribal hideout.

Ye Xi instructed Cangpan to pick up a basin of saline water that had dissolved and precipitated overnight, and slowly poured it towards the stove covered with thick hay.

Cangpan's forehead was dripping with sweat, holding a stone basin like a dinosaur, carefully controlling his strength.

Seeing the water flow, Ye Xi looked like a faucet that couldn't squeeze out the water. It fell down filament by filament, and couldn't help but said, "It's too slow."

The warehouse pan trembled, the angle of pouring the water suddenly increased, and a large lump of water poured into it.

Ye Xi's forehead jumped: "Too much!"

Cangpan blushed, and quickly closed his hands, pouring down another filament of water.

Ye Xi covered his forehead.

Qi, who was watching from the side, sneered: "Look at your scared look, you can't even pour water."

Cangpan was annoyed: "Then you come."

Qi Yi stagnant, did not speak.

Ye Xi made a decisive decision: "Qi, you come to replace the warehouse." When will I get such a trace?

Ye Xi spoke, and Qi had no choice but to take the stone basin and asserted, "I must do better than Cangpan."

Hearing what he said, Ye Xi felt relieved. After all, not everyone is like a warehouse, pouring water is like pouring gold.

So Qi, who reassured Ye Xi, began to work.

Qi raised the stone basin, Qi gradually tilted the stone basin, and then Qi's face began to quickly turn red!

Then, in Ye Xi's dull eyes, the water began to trickle down.

"..."

In Cangpan's mocking eyes, Qi's face became more and more red, and his forehead began to sweat. No, when I think that the current action is related to whether I can lift the salt, I don't dare to pour it with force. He finally realized the taste of the warehouse just now.

Ye Xi took a deep breath: "You put it down, I'll do it."

Qi lowered his head in despair and put down the stone basin.

The two of them were named by Ye Xi to help. After knowing their task, the two of them were extremely excited, but they did not expect that they would be so useless, and Ye Xi had to do it himself.

After the transformation of different flowers, Ye Xi became stronger, and holding such a large stone basin is not a problem at all.

The water mixed with sand and sand poured down unhurriedly, filtered through the thick hay on the stove, and leaked into the stone basin below.

The water in the stone basin has been filtered once, and it is grayish-yellow, with a lot of unfiltered sediment in the middle, but it is much cleaner than the unfiltered muddy water.

Gradually, there was more and more sediment on the hay.

Ye Xi: "Cangpan, change a layer of grass."

"Oh." Cangpan responded quickly, then quickly threw away the layer of grass along with the dirt and replaced it with clean grass.

Seeing that the warehouse tray was not evenly spread, Qi hurriedly sorted it out.

Seeing that they couldn't pour water, but the grass was well laid, Ye Xi nodded to them approvingly: "Not bad."

Cangpan and Qi rubbed their heads and smiled, very happy to be praised.

Gradually, the water in the stone basin was drained, and Ye Xi filtered the water that had been filtered, and then slowly filtered it backwards according to the method just now.

Finally, the water that has been filtered five times has become free of sand, golden and clear, translucent and translucent. This is brine.

"Wow, it turned into this color in the end." Qi squatted on the ground and looked at the stone basin with a sigh.

As he spoke, he stretched out a forefinger, wanting to dab a little on it to taste the taste, but was slapped away by Cangpan and reprimanded, "Don't touch it, you haven't washed your hands, how dare you touch it when it's so dirty?"

Qi San shyly withdrew his hand.

Ye Xi looked at the sky and announced, "Okay, let's leave it overnight, and we'll continue tomorrow."

Cangpan: "Let's leave it for another night, but there is no more sand in the water?" He originally thought it was unreliable to extract salt from clods, but when he saw the yellow water that came out now,

He couldn't help but hope that he could extract salt.

Ye Xi: "There is still a layer of invisible impurities that need to be settled, don't worry."

Early the next morning.

Ye Xi woke up and opened his eyes, startled, two large, gloomy faces were on the tip of his nose, reflecting the dim yellow fire.

Frightened, Ye Xi's conditioned reflex aimed at a face and punched hard, and then tumbled to the side quickly.

"Hmm." The person who was beaten let out a dull voice.

After pulling away and seeing who the two were, Ye Xi shouted angrily, "Cangpan, Qi, what are you doing!"

These two even held torches and sneaked into his cave to stare at him!

Cangpan rubbed the tip of his nose, and Ye Xi's punch hit him on the nose. Although Ye Xi was not a fighter yet, it still hurt a little bit on his nose.

Qi saw that Ye Xi seemed to be frightened by them, and felt a little guilty and short of breath, hehe smiled embarrassedly: "Aren't we in a hurry to make salt, we see that it's not too early, think you should wake up soon, just come to you."

Ye Xi repeated with a strange expression: "It's getting late?" Then he silently stared at the torches in their hands without speaking.

Qi hurriedly said: "Ye Xi, your cave is too dark. If you don't believe me, go outside and take a look. The sky is already bright."

Cangpan nodded in agreement.

Ye Xi suddenly smiled and said to them very tenderly: "Even if it is noon, you will come to my cave to scare me like this in the future. Believe it or not, I will make you regret it."

No matter who just woke up, two ghostly faces reflected by the firelight were in front of him, and he couldn't help but get angry.

Cangpan and Qi's necks froze.

It was the first time they saw Ye Xi get angry, they felt guilty, and they hurriedly promised not to do this again.

Ye Xi glanced at the two of them and walked out.

Outside the cave, the sky was only a little bright, the air was swirling with mist, and the birds chirped one after another in the jungle, and none of the pterosaurs that usually hunted insects in the open space were now seen.

The sun has not yet risen on the horizon, the temperature is pleasant and the air is fresh.

Ye Xi took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."

Now only one last step is left.

After a night of precipitation, the brine was layered again. Ye Xi himself poured the upper brine into the prepared stone pot.

Qihe put the firewood on the warehouse tray and set it on fire.

Ye Xi noticed that the firewood they brought was red pine wood, and the barbecued meat made from this wood would smell rosin, but it was far away from the tribe and the output was small, and the tribe only used this wood extravagantly. It is usually reluctant to come to barbecue.

The fire gradually grew stronger, illuminating Cangpan and Qi's face.

They stared intently at the firewood, adding hay now and then to make the fire bigger.

Only then did Ye Xi realize that their eyes were bloodshot.

"You haven't slept all night?"

Cangpan and Qi were startled.

Cangpan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't sleep."

Ye Xi was about to say something when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a rustling movement in the jungle behind him.

Ye Xi turned back.

The jungle behind was peaceful.

Ye Xi stared at the jungle for a while, then sighed helplessly: "Come out, what are you doing hiding?"

After a while, there was a strange noise in the jungle, and then in the eyes of Cangpan and Qi, four people emerged from it.

It turned out to be the chief, Yong, Luo, and a warrior with two flame marks on his chest.
