Chapter 123 Real Materials
After hearing this, Lianyi was not angry and said straightforwardly:
"I shoulder the mission assigned by the beast god. I came to the mermaid tribe because I have better salt-making skills. The salt you make now is still too rough, and the astringency in it is too strong.
Furthermore, I also want to be lazy and use your mermaid tribe to summon various beast tribes to bring me the specialties and newly discovered things of each tribe at the large gathering in the harvest season next year, so that I can identify them one by one. "
The amount of information in Lianyi's words was too great. Li and Wu looked at each other with much more solemn expressions, especially about the method of making more fine sea salt.
"Meng, take some and show them to Chief Carp."
He nodded fiercely, took out a small animal skin bag from the large animal skin package on the ground, and carefully dug out some with a small wooden spoon.
Chief Li walked over directly, let Meng pour the small spoonful of fine white sea salt into his hand, crushed it with his hands, then put some in his mouth, his brown eyes lit up, he was sure it was salt. And it doesn’t have that bitter taste.
Then, like Meng, he carefully poured the salt from his palm into a white shell and let Wu Ye take a look. After the witch test, he nodded. Although he was not as excited as Li, his purple eyes were still shining brightly.
"Angel, will you really teach us this method of making salt?"
"Of course, with this fine sea salt, I hope you can lower the exchange standards for the coarse sea salt. Not all tribes in the Beast World can harvest enough every year. Even you mermaid tribe will encounter natural enemies in the sea. and danger.”
Lianyi said matter-of-factly.
"We understand what the envoy said. Five years ago, our mermaid clan encountered a storm at sea, which submerged the island we were stationed on. We couldn't even make sea salt that year."
The leader Li sighed with emotion, that year was indeed dangerous. After entering the rainy season, the sea became unstable and various fish migrated in groups.
He and Wu were very vigilant and found that something was wrong. They abandoned the island and led their tribesmen into the deep sea reefs in advance. Even so, two of their tribesmen were lost and they didn't know where they were swept away. It has not been found yet.
"Indeed, it is not easy for all races to survive. The beast god knows the difficulties of the orcs, so he sent me."
Lianyi said boldly.
"Yes! The request made by the divine envoy is very reasonable. We will comply with it. We are lucky to have the blessing of the beast god."
Clan leader Li said immediately.
Then the topic turned to salt production. Lianyi listened to the method of making sea salt mentioned by the clan leader. It is indeed simple and crude. It is to gather seawater and let it sit in the sun for a hot season, and you will naturally get coarse sea salt. As for precipitation, There is no filtration or secondary distillation.
After listening to this, Lianyi felt that there was still some grinding, but at least she had the fine sea salt she brought out. The clan leader and the witch trusted her very much. The salt in the small animal skin bag was made with more than half a bag of coarse sea salt.
After thinking for a while, Lianyi said to Chief Li:
"Now is about to enter the cold season, which is not suitable for drying salt. However, you can take some of the salt you have dried and let Meng show you the secondary processing method. As for the method of making salt from scratch, I will tell you separately. You can also Some corresponding equipment needs to be made.”
Both Li and Wu listened very carefully, nodding frequently, and would ask detailed questions about things they didn't understand. It was related to the future status of the entire mermaid clan. They were very serious and cautious, and were unwilling to make any mistakes.
"As for the distillation equipment, you can make your own set out of stone, and I will give you the drawings."
Wu immediately nodded and opened and closed his mouth. After a moment, Wei Lan came over with a roll of animal skin and respectfully handed the roll of animal skin to Ripple.
Wu Ze presented something similar to a pen and a small shell of squid ink. It seemed that it had been processed and the smell was not so bad.
Lianyi saw their impatience, so she rolled out the animal skin without delay and began to draw. She even asked Wu specifically about the size and proportions.
At this point, she felt that the world of beasts still had a long way to go before it could develop, but the standards of weights and measures in each tribe were different.
Tuanzi watched Ripple being busy, so he was not idle either. He ran over to join in the fun and found that his female animal would dip into the black water every time and then draw something on the animal skin. He also stretched out his little paw and secretly After dipping a little black ink, he happily printed his little paws on the animal skin roll.
After Lianyi finished painting, he saw Tuanzi's masterpiece and was not angry. He just nodded his forehead and said:
"This is my signature."
After that, whenever he made ripples or wrote or drew something, Tuanzi would be very proactive and put his paws on it. It was not until he became an adult that he stopped this childish behavior.
However, the animal skin rolls with his little paw prints on them eventually became precious treasures in the world of beasts. They were the kind of things that no one could ask for, but they were the dark history of Tuanzi. Every time he was mentioned, he blushed a little. In fact, he was too young at that time and did not know the importance of those things painted by the mother beast, which promoted the development of the beast world.
Back to the present, Ripple handed the painted animal skin scroll to Wu and temporarily left Meng on the island. She left the island with Du and Tuanzi, but before leaving, she told the clan leader straightforwardly that she liked all kinds of animals. I wanted to plant different colors of pearls and make some bead strings for decoration. The clan leader immediately understood and made arrangements immediately.
When the group of people returned to land, Ripple harvested an animal skin bag with pearls of different sizes and colors. These inedible things were not considered precious in the eyes of the mermaid and could be obtained at any time, so they were given extremely generously.
There was also an animal skin bag containing various kinds of dried sea fish and sea plants, which were dried during their hot and abundant seasons this year, and were given to the envoy for her to taste.
Tuanzi wrinkled his nose in disgust and got back into Lipple's arms. Du actually liked these sea fish, they looked very delicious.
"Angel, the cold season is about to begin. Do we want to spend the cold season in the mermaid tribe?"
"Next year's harvest festival will most likely be held here. I'm too lazy to run away, but I don't want to go to the mermaid island. The wind and waves are too big for Tuanzi to grow up. He still has to grow up on land. We are nearby. Find a place to stay and spend the cold season here.”
Duo nodded in agreement.
"Find a high-lying place. The weather will clear up in the first ten days of the cold season. This is the last preparation time for the orcs. We need to store more firewood."
Yuan She is afraid of the cold and has to store a lot of firewood every year during the cold season. Although Lianyi is not afraid of the cold, he still has to prepare some things as he has Tuanzi and Du Du, who is going to hibernate.
"Just look around the temporary cave we live in now."
"yes!"
Du was now very accustomed to completing the various tasks assigned by Lianyi, so he turned into a snake and went into the woods. The next afternoon, he brought good news.
