Chapter 653: Cannon Fodder Licking Dogs in the Beast World Farming Story (45)
After speaking, a group of orcs behind Jiang Lai weighed the crossbows in their hands.
The leader of the Eagle Clan trembled.
"Seriously, teach us how to dry salt and grow food, so that our people can eat as much food as they want!"
"Don't worry, you go to the forest and inquire about the reputation of our new tribe."
"Hey, how many orcs are there in the forest that you don't control?"
Too domineering!
It’s really too much!
Each time the Eagle Clan had no time to resist and start a war, they were surrendered.
When he arrived, Jiang Lai had already prepared all the tools needed for drying salt, including a set of equipment for remodeling the site.
Those who followed were all good at work. Under the training of A Yuan and A Hai, they were already quite proficient in carpentry work.
There is almost no need to arrange command, everyone is already performing their duties.
These uniform movements and capable and orderly steps made the Eagle Clan dumbfounded.
"That...the heavy stuff in that box is all iron?"
There were three carts and a dozen boxes. After opening, there was a complete set of carpentry tools neatly placed.
The leader of the Eagle Clan, who was quite arrogant just a second ago, has now transformed into a curious baby. He no longer cares about his image, chasing after others asking questions.
Looking at the strange but exquisite ironware, his mouth almost watered.
Everyone was on the same continent, so why did he feel so disconnected from the world? Why didn't he recognize anything in this new tribe?
In just two days, that is, in the evening of the second day, a salt drying site was set up.
Jiang Lai chose this tribe because there is a large natural salt drying factory here, and the huge tidal flat can get enough sunshine every day.
In this way, after the seawater is poured into the crystallization tank, it can be dried in a short time to precipitate coarse salt.
After the salt drying site was set up, Jiang Lai began to train the first batch of salt drying workers.
The first step of drying salt is actually very simple. It requires workers to carry two baskets that can hold water and spread seawater evenly on the sand little by little.
After exposure to the sun, concentrated brine is precipitated, and then the brine is introduced into the salt tank, and finally high-concentration salt crystals are obtained.
These salt crystals are the bitter particles that the orcs who live by the sea often see attached to rocks and plants.
This kind of salt is very bitter and full of impurities and substances harmful to the human body.
Eating too much will harm your body, and even endanger your life.
So Jiang Lai set up a huge iron pot in the salt factory, and then arranged for his tribesmen to make an iron bucket about three meters high, which was connected from top to bottom.
Jiang Lai put several layers of filters such as stones, fine sand, charcoal, and linen inside, and then melted the salt crystals obtained by the sun again and poured them into the iron bucket. The concentrated salt water was filtered through layers and finally seeped out from the bottom of the bucket. .
The seeping salt water has filtered out most of the impurities, and the taste is not that bitter, but this is not enough. The final salt water must be added to the iron pot, and the bottom is heated and steamed over and over again. When the salt water boils and is boiled dry, the bottom of the iron pot is A thick layer of salt powder will precipitate.
The salt powder at this time was almost the same as the salt eaten by modern people. There was not much difference in taste and not much harm to health.
This kind of salt is perfect for daily consumption.
When the first pot of salt came out, the whole salt factory burst into cheers.
After this period of getting along, the people of the Eagle Clan and the New Tribe have been able to coexist peacefully.
After all, since the arrival of the new tribe, their quality of life has been greatly improved. They no longer have to eat those boring sea fish every day. There are so many different kinds of food that they can't wait to pack up and join the new tribe.
In addition to food, the new tribe also brought many things that they had never seen before. Not to mention rare resources such as iron, they taught them how to build dry latrines and brought them looms, and they even taught them how to use them. Fall feathers for weaving crafts, as well as brooms and dusters for daily needs.
After just getting along for a while, everyone came to believe that the new tribe was a place of gods blessed by animal spirits.
The process of making salt went very smoothly. There was enough sunlight and the site was wide. The local eagle tribe was a natural expert at drying salt. Their feet would not be corroded at all when they stepped on the salt-alkali soil.
Jiang Lai simply followed the tribe's methods and directly incorporated these Eagle Clan.
They work, earn iron coins, and can also buy things in the tribe.
The Eagle Clan loves fruits, all kinds of brightly colored fruits, and fruit wine made from the fruits.
It just so happened that Jiang Lai was most in need of these things.
Both parties were mutually beneficial, and everyone was full of praise after the first batch of salt was put into use.
Purified sea salt tastes lighter and saltier than mineral salt, and the amount of sea salt is large, so the price has dropped a lot.
As the reputation spread, more and more orcs came to the salt factory specifically to exchange salt.
There is no currency in the beast world, and the method of transaction is barter. Because salt is a scarce commodity, and the salt purified by Jiang Lai tastes better, so more and more tribes are willing to give gold or silver in exchange for sea salt.
In a short period of time, Jiang Lai accumulated a large amount of gold.
These things are of little use to Jiang Lai for the time being, but the world of beasts is developing faster and faster, and soon the value of gold will continue to rise. By then, she will have enough gold reserves in her hands, and she will naturally have it. Enough voice.
It didn’t take long for the reputation of the New Tribe’s Sea Salt Factory to reach the ears of the leader of the Snake Tribe’s First Tribe on the other side of the coast.
"No one comes to exchange for our salt now. The New Tribe gang bullied us too much and took away all our business."
The leader of the snake clan is sitting on a high position, with a human body and a snake tail. The fat and thick snake tail is entangled on the animal carpet in circles, like the roots of an old tree. The python patterns are intertwined. The color is bright and strange. The huge snake body sets off the human body above. Extraordinarily small.
Beside the snake's tail, Mu Mianmian listened to the informant's report with a solemn expression.
"Didn't you say that you are the only one in the world who knows this method?"
The leader of the snake clan looked at Mu Mianmian, his green vertical pupils flashing with faint light. Every time he spoke a word, his long tongue licked her face.
Mu Mianmian's back tensed, she suppressed her nausea and said calmly.
"Their salt is definitely not as good as ours."
"I asked my subordinates to buy their salt, and I also tasted it.
It's a pity, I think theirs tastes better than ours. ”
Mu Mianmian's face darkened.
"Impossible."
"Where do you get your confidence?"
"I know the leader of the new tribe, and she can't possibly make better salt than me!"
As he spoke, Mu Mianmian stood up eagerly.
"I'm going to see it, I'm going to see their tribe!"
"You don't have to go to their tribe. Their salt factory is right on the seaside. If you want to go, let's go together." (End of Chapter)
