Chapter 58

The ocean near the Qiubo tribe is flat and easy to make salt pans. According to Meng Sheng's understanding, there are few rainy seasons and mostly sunny days here. It is simply a good place for salt drying.

In fact, Meng Sheng can teach the natives to boil salt with sea water, but considering that the procedure is equally complicated, it is better to teach them the method of drying salt directly, which will be much more productive.

Hearing that they wanted to learn a new method of salt mining, and it was also taught by priests of the Yilin tribe, the indigenous people of the Qiupo tribe were eager to participate, but Meng Sheng interrupted the enthusiasm of the indigenous people to learn.

There are too many troubles to talk about, and he doesn't have that much effort and speech, so he asked Zhan to choose a dozen or so nimble and smart natives to come out.

Salt fields are not fields where salt is grown, but are equivalent to enclosing plots for drying salt.

According to the encyclopedia, the process of making salt mainly includes five steps: tidal absorption, brine making, crystallization, salt mining, and storage and transportation. Meng Sheng asked the natives to dig the salt fields first. , a total of two pieces, he wants to teach the method, not to help make a lot of salt right away.

After the salt field is built, the ditches are dug to divert the seawater to accumulate, and the seawater will evaporate less through sunlight. After the concentration of seawater is increased, the seawater with high concentration will be introduced into the crystallization pond, so that the seawater will continue to evaporate in the crystallization pond. Crystals are formed and finally coarse salts are formed.

In fact, drying salt does not require a strong labor force. Just like metal smelting and pottery making, the old or young indigenous people can participate. These people cannot hunt and have more free time to do these things. Patience, unlike the impatience of young adults.

"That's it?" On the

first day, Meng Sheng could only dry the salt until the water was brought into the fields. The natives came in confused, and followed the priest back in confusion. Finally, Zhan asked the doubts in his heart.

Afraid of contradicting the priest, when Zhan still wanted to go to the tribe, he made sure that Meng Sheng had no other tricks before he asked carefully.

"Of course it's not that simple, we'll continue tomorrow."

After a few days of doubts, Meng Sheng carried out the steps one after the other. After introducing the concentrated seawater into the crystallizing pond, he kept guarding the salt field every day. The natives were afraid that they would not be able to make salt and that the method of salt mining would be stolen by natives of other tribes. On the second night, they rushed to Meng Sheng's residence like a gust of wind.

"Leader, sacrifice! Salt has already appeared in the salt field!"

"Really?" Zhan, who was sitting opposite Meng Sheng, got up: "I'll go take a look!"

Meng Sheng was sucking coconut milk, and he held Zhan with his backhand: "No hurry, now salt It's not completely crystallized yet, and the effect will be better when I see it tomorrow."

If you guessed correctly, what can you see in the dark at night, the native guarding found that the salt in the crystallizing pond had crystallized, and they touched the sea in private. At this time There are already some crystals at the bottom of the crystallization pool.

Zhan suppressed the excitement in the center, and sent the natives first: "Priest, I didn't expect your method would really work."

No matter how embarrassed it is to show it off, can it still sit in the priest's seat. Meng Sheng smiled and said nothing.

On the tenth day since arriving in the Qiupo tribe, the salt crystals of Baihuahua lay quietly in the crystal pond, and the natives of the Qiupo tribe were very surprised and cheered.

Meng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief because of this, and it was finally completed.

The natives of the Chupo tribe shouted priests to express their gratitude and respect to Meng Sheng, and the salt fields were bustling with activity.

The aboriginals of the Yilin tribe saw the priests of their tribe show their extraordinary wisdom once again, and they were proud but at the same time unhappy: "Tang Dun, the people of their tribe are really close, and our priests have become them. "

The priests also helped the Chupo tribe for our tribe. Now they have learned how to make salt pans, and they will be able to provide salt to our tribe for free in the future. Salt fields produce several times as much salt as theirs. Don't worry about the use of salt." Tang Dun, who knew the inside story, couldn't restrain his joy and told the people of his tribe.

"Really? Isn't that a good thing for the two tribes!" The indigenous people who learned the truth immediately followed the Qiupo tribe and called the priest to express their excitement and respect.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, so Meng Sheng and the Qiubo tribe said goodbye. Counting the time spent back and forth, this trip has been out for half a month. When he thinks of his wife at home, he can't keep it for a moment.

Zhan tried to keep the salt fields to no avail, so he prepared a lot of seafood for the Yilin tribe, and also set a time with Meng Sheng. After the tribe developed the salt fields, they would fulfill their promise and deliver the salt to the Yilin tribe.

Meng Sheng wanted to remind Zhan a few words to be optimistic about Yantian, and not to be learned by other tribes, but thinking that these days, the indigenous people are still guarding Yantian with suspicion, and feel that their reminders are superfluous.

The natives of the Yilin tribe said goodbye to Binhai and set foot on the road back to the tribe......

"Hu, it's time to get up!" The

sunlight penetrated into the cave and hit the edge of the stone pot. Luo prepared to She had already prepared breakfast. Today's food was prepared a little late. She was worried that she would delay her son's meal and go out to hunt, but after the food was ready, no one got up yet.

Walking into the small cave, her son was still asleep under the quilt. She smiled helplessly and walked over to gently wake Ai.

Qiu Juan opened his eyes in a daze, and found that it was already bright, so he sat up quickly: "It's so late?"

Luo patted his son's head: "During the day, I was growing vegetables and feeding and hunting, so you're tired? ."

Qiu Lan rubbed his eyes, put on his shoes and went out to eat, he was indeed a little tired recently, his body didn't seem to be as tough as before, and now he still slept for so long.

After he hastily ate the food, he absent-mindedly went to the hunting ground. In fact, the archery has been taught in the tribe. He has already learned what he wants to learn. He has nothing to do with him, but he still goes there because that It is the only way for Meng Sheng to come back.

"Yo, Qiu Lian, this listless look isn't like usual." A

yin and yang strange voice sounded from behind, he turned back subconsciously and saw Tang Tong with a big belly, he didn't want to pay any attention.

"You tell me, we priests have been gone for so long, why haven't we returned to the tribe? They don't all settle down in the Qiupo tribe, right?"

Qiu Lian narrowed his eyes: "Of course there's a reason why we didn't come back, let's go to the tribe. With so many people, it's hard to settle down in Chengdu."

Tang Tong smiled: "No, I just see that you are unhappy, I just want to make fun of you." In a

blink of an eye, he said: "But I'm also worried, you It takes at most five or six days to go back and forth. Why did it take so long? I heard that the mountains and roads are dangerous, but it is not because of danger. I saw that Zhongyang has already started to convene people to find them today. If nothing happened, how could Zhongyang act?"

Qiu Lian's back tensed and he didn't speak.

"Oh, look at what I'm talking about, don't mind, I'm just worried about my second brother." Tang Tong covered the corner of his mouth, apologetic for saying the wrong thing.

Qiu Lian's brows trembled, his fists clenched tightly, and suddenly his stomach turned upside down. He covered his mouth and ignored Tang Tong, and hurried away first.

Tang Tong, who was left in the same place, was confused, what, what does it mean?

She only saw Ya Fei lowered her head, raised her hand, turned and ran away, very fast, not knowing whether it was covering her mouth or her eyes, she couldn't help but say to herself: "Is it possible that I was told to cry?"

Rolling her eyes: "What's this called?"

Qiu Yan ran to the place where no one was, and then slowly squatted down. When he was about to release, he suddenly realized that he couldn't spit out again. He didn't know what was going on with him.

It's been like this since a few days ago. He wanted to vomit after eating. He originally thought that after Meng Sheng left, he had been busy a lot. The things that the males did in the past fell on him. He may be tired. How to think.

But the bad situation became more and more obvious, and he had to suspect that something was wrong with his body.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel sad. His partner promised him that he would come back sooner. Now that he has been gone for so long, there is no news. I don't know if it is safe or not, and I don't know if my body is suffering from some strange disease.

Two days ago, he was worried that Meng Sheng would not be able to come back safely, but now he is worried about whether he can live to wait for Meng Sheng to come back. Seeing Meng Sheng again, his eyes turned red as he thought about it.

"Qiu Juan, what's wrong with you?"

A passing native was shocked when he saw his red eyes. In the cognition of the native tribe, Qiu Juan was a very strong person. When did he see him so vulnerable? Pass.

Qiu Wan felt very ashamed, and waved his hand quickly: "It's nothing, my eyes got sand, I'll go back first."

"Hey!" The native wanted to stop Qiu Juan, there were sods all around, where did the sand come from, but they felt that Qiu Wan would not want to be seen by others.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing the companions

, the native hurriedly whispered: "I saw Qiu Fan crying here just now.

"

Instead, he was very angry: "I saw Qiu Fan talking to Tang Tong just now. I don't know why Qiu Fan ran away after talking for a while. I was wondering what happened.

" What did you say to Qiu Juan, why would Qiu Juan be so sad?"

"What can I say! It must be the priest."

"This woman is too bad. If something really happened to the priest, she would blame her for talking nonsense.

" In the morning, Qiu Juan was told by Tang Tong that he cried all over the tribe. When Zhong Yang heard about this, he was discussing with Tang Yu whether Meng Shengrang made too many bricks. matter.

"How is that possible!" Tang Yu first expressed disbelief, she knew Tang Tong's personality, maybe he really said something unpleasant, but Qiu Fan is not someone who can be said to cry at will.

"It's true, Deputy Chief, some natives saw the two arguing with their own eyes, and the quarrel was very fierce. Later, Qiu Lan covered his eyes and ran away, crying very loudly, but sad!"

Zhong Yang scratched his hair, and he Tang Yu looked at each other in dismay, and the natives were so eloquent that it really didn't look like a lie: "Then, why don't we go see Qiu Lian together."
