Chapter 191: Fried refined salt
There is a burger and a ratio of proportions, but now the most important thing is that ordinary and inferior alcohol. Without them, the paste cannot be really used to match clean water, right?
That's another real super waste!
Now, we can only buy ordinary wine from the Hatan family and the Tsuga family until spring is in full bloom, and then we can handle the mixing of fine wine. ([] )
Then, we need to travel across the East Japan Sea and start a business journey to the Longduan Mountains on the western continent.
It is said to be a poor and backward area, but most of them are Jurchens, Rakshasa, and Shiwei people. They are divided into hundreds of tribes and are scattered in every corner of the Zongduan Mountains.
The characteristic of these nations is that they are very heroic and not care about details.
For such a crowd, the favorite thing is to eat meat and drink wine in big mouthfuls.
Moreover, because the Zongduan Mountains belong to the north, it is cold and cold, if you have a sip of wine, it will taste so comfortable.
But the problem is that their place is even more remote than ours. If I were a traveling businessman, I would be sorry for myself if I did not make the pants that were covered with shame!
We are very kind.
real.
At least you have to leave a pair of pants for them.
The remaining 123 kilograms of wine, except for the ten kilograms that were broken by the jar, were put into the core warehouse intact. Dad Lauren said that because of the brewing of at least a hundred years, the mud wine cans are also full of wine. If you mix the wine at that time, the effect will be better with these mud wine cans.
What we can pay attention to now is naturally the production of rock salt mines.
The first batch of rock salts were carried back by ourselves, and were operated by Dad Lauren himself to make them into fine salt.
My sister, three mothers, ten beautiful logistics supervisors, and twenty farmers selected from the initial villagers of our Sanguo Village stood behind Lao Lauren and watched his operation process.
Dad Lauren is so busy all day long that he has to take charge of various civil affairs and conduct various experiments. He also has to lead military training, so the process of refining refined salt can only be done by him after he demonstrates it a few times.
After calling us over, Dad Lauren particularly emphasized that it is very simple to extract refined salt from rock salt, at most the process is a little more complicated. If this method is spread, it will cause great harm to our great business of selling refined salt. Therefore, anyone who has learned this technique is absolutely not allowed to say it to the public, not even his own family, otherwise don’t blame the village’s rules for being rude.
The beautiful logistics supervisor and the farmers naturally nodded repeatedly.
In fact, they are the most trustworthy people, otherwise Dad Lauren would not have chosen them, so this is just to alert them again.
Dad Lauren first filled the medium-sized iron pot with water, then put large pieces of rock salt into the water, and stirred it a few times.
Then he lit the moving earth stove and quickly heated the charcoal into the iron pot. The water in the iron pot slowly began to heat up, which quickly melted the rock salt that had not dissolved before.
Once the stirring was completely salted, Dad Lauren immediately moved the iron pot aside and poured it into it and prepared the bamboo bucket.
There were two layers of gauze on the bamboo bucket, and the salt water was soaked in it, but many small black and white impurities just stayed on the gauze.
After removing the gauze, Lauren's father poured the salt water from the bamboo bucket into the second same bamboo bucket. The gauze would be thinner, so that a lot of impurities remained on the gauze, but the quantity would be much smaller.
After repeating this three times, Dad Lauren poured the salt water from the bamboo bucket back into the iron pot.
The charcoal was very hot, and the salt water in the iron pot quickly boiled. When the water boiled until granular salt appeared, Dad Lauren clamped out two pieces of charcoal from the air outlet next to the earthen stove, and then slowly started stirring with flat thick wood pulp.
The salt water without color turns into particles and turns into a snow-white color.
The particles are getting more and more, and the moisture is getting less and less. While stirring, Lao Lauren said, "Did you see it? When the moisture is only so thin, remove the iron pot from the earth stove, and then slowly evaporate the water to dry under the residual heat. Finally, the dried salt particles will not become browned due to excessive fire."
While speaking, he placed the iron pot on another earthen stove that was not on fire and continued to speed up the stirring.
Sure enough, within a while, the moisture in the iron pot completely disappeared, leaving only hot white salt particles.
"Come on, you all come and taste it."
Dad Lauren, whose forehead was already covered in sweat, sat next to him tiredly and said.
We quickly squeezed to the iron pot, twisted a little salt granules slightly, felt the soft touch between our fingers for a while, and then put it in our mouths.
The first time everyone tasted the salt, their eyes lit up and they praised them one after another.
"Well... the salt tastes so pure, not bitter at all, not astringent, and is even better than the salt we bought at high prices!"
"Look at its color, it is the authentic color of 'White as snow' written in the book."
Listening to everyone's praise, Lao Lauren laughed, "Actually, this is just rough processing. If you want to make its quality a higher level, you can repeat the action just now, and finally use a very thin bamboo dustpan to slowly sift out the impurities inside... Such salt is first-class."
"There is no need to be so particular, right?" Xiaoxuan's mother said in a daze: "It takes so much effort. We sell salt, not for the emperor to eat."
"You're right to say that." Dad Lauren nodded and said, "There is no need to be such a trouble for the time being, but if we want to sell salt to the prosperous towns of the Song Dynasty in the future, we need to do this. They don't lack money, and the higher the quality of things, the higher the price they can sell."
Instead of participating in their discussion, I poured all the fried salt into my pocket and placed it on the scale to weigh it.
The rock salt blocks used to weigh ten kilograms, but now the finished product is only eight kilograms, which suddenly suffers 20% of the loss.
The most important thing is that the rock salt blocks we took out this time are the best quality inside, at least there are no large stones inlaid in it. If they were replaced with too many impurities, the most salt rate would be 50%.
I have already investigated that the rock salt mines with high quality may account for about 30%, and those with poor quality may account for 30%. In the end, 40% are mixed with too many stones, sand, etc.
If the veins of the rock salt mine are big enough, it would be nothing, but if it is really only five million kilograms, the final salt yield rate can only reach three million kilograms, which is much less than we expected.
But then I shook my head and laughed slightly again. I was just called worrying about nothing.
It was obvious that there was no rock salt mine before, but our Sanguo Village could still develop well. Now that we have more than a few million kilograms of fine salt, we are still feeling melancholy and nervous. It is really not worth it.
After talking about the topic, once the demonstration was successful, Dad Lauren taught them step by step for two days, and the thirty men and women began to work hard and secretly fried salt.
The large pot cannot control the heat well, and salt is a very delicate thing. If it is slightly hot, it will turn yellow and black. So they all chose a medium-sized iron pot and slowly stir-fry the fine salt. At the end of a day, there are a total of 300 pots, which are about 2,000 kilograms.
The rock salt blocks I carried back for the first time were at least 10,000 kilograms, which was enough for them to practice their techniques and techniques.
After they get familiar with each other, we will select 300 loyal and reliable children to quickly learn good skills. The next thirty first disciples will take on the position of team leader and be responsible for leading their disciples' work.
With two or three months in winter, I believe that when spring comes, our two secret weapons, salt and wine, will definitely bring rich benefits to Sanguo Village!
Of course, these are all later stories, so let’s not mention them for now. After finishing my study of frying salt, I started to organize another major event.
The big thing is naturally... my sister's birthday is coming!
December 16th, ten days after my birthday, is my sister's fifteenth birthday. This is my sister's first birthday after we obtained Liuyin Harbor. Naturally, we have to express some special expressions and gifts to express my love for my future wife.
My sister has a very elegant and quiet personality and doesn’t like to hold her birthday on a large scale, so I don’t work hard on a big banquet. I spend some time cooking a few good dishes for my sister is a serious behavior that shows my feelings.
But, what should I do?
With this thought, I walked into the kitchen again and observed the ingredients inside everywhere.
In winter, even the weeds have withered, so wild vegetables are naturally impossible to have, so most of the steamed and cooked dishes in the kitchen are meat.
As I looked around, the familiar ingredients were everywhere, which disappointed me a little.
Just now, I saw a stool next to me. I was tired of walking and sat on it and wanted to rest for a while.
Backwards was the wall. I leaned against it and stretched my waist. Suddenly, I felt a big furry thing touching my raised hands.
I subconsciously looked up and saw that my hand was touching a huge furry palm. The sharp nails on the palm were so eye-catching.
"ah!!"
I didn't realize what it was, so I screamed in surprise and jumped up quickly.
What the hell is this!
Strangely scary!
