After crossing over, I was busy with the infrastructure construction in the beast world.

Chapter 76 Salt Making
After a lot of effort, Su Yue finally managed to get two brown horses.

Although there are only two horses, because the palm tree grows so big, it looks like a black mattress when spread out.

Su Yue took it in her hand and tugged it, and found that it was very secure, at least as good as modern nylon ropes.

Su Yue looked up and looked around, and found that it was still early, so she sat down and continued to collect brown hair.

It wasn't until night fell that Su Yue returned to the cave with the stripped brown hair in her arms.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ah Hao quickly looked towards the entrance of the cave, and then saw Su Yue walking in with a bundle of brown hairs in her arms.
"You're back, didn't you meet anything?"

"No, this brown hair is too difficult to get, so it took some time."

"Need any help from me?"

Su Yue looked at the brown hair in her hand, and simply sat down next to Ah Hao,
"Then get me some rope."

Ah Hao made the rope under Su Yue's guidance, and Su Yue poured out the burning charcoal with water.

Take out a particularly large wooden barrel from the space, fix the brown hair on top of the wooden barrel, and finally put the charcoal that has just been extinguished on the brown hair.

Since the charcoal had just been soaked in water, it was quite heavy, and the brown hair sank quickly, but the edge of the brown hair was fixed to the wooden barrel by Su Yue, so it didn't sink to the bottom of the barrel.

After doing everything, Su Yue slowly poured the bucket of dirty salt water into the wooden bucket.

The turbid brine was filtered through charcoal and brown hair, and flowed drop by drop into the wooden barrel below.

Soon Su Yue finished filtering the bucket of very turbid salt water, and she quickly removed the brown hair and charcoal on it.

After Su Yue's observation, he found that the concentration of salt water was quite high, because now there was a layer of salt crystals on the inner wall of the wooden barrel.

But looking at the slightly dull brine in the bucket, Su Yue changed into a clean brown hair and continued to filter it again.

Ah Hao sat on the ground and tied the rope. He didn't forget to observe Su Yue's side. Seeing the long-lost smile on Su Yue's face, he said jokingly.

"What the hell are you doing, Yue? It's mysterious."

Looking at the filtered salt water, Su Yue didn't hide anything,
"Salt making!"

As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, Ah Hao stayed where he was, looking at Su Yue in disbelief, not even knowing that the rope in his hand fell off,

"You just said what you are doing, making salt, is that what I mean?"

Looking at Ah Hao with wide eyes and a surprised face, Su Yue nodded.

"I'll see, I'll see."

Su Yue looked at Ah Hao who was too excited to climb up several times but didn't get up, and hurried forward to help him up.

"Okay, calm down, it's just salt water and not real salt. If you want to turn salt water into salt, you have to work hard."

With Su Yue's support, Ah Hao finally walked to the side of the wooden barrel. Looking at the gray-white salt water in the wooden barrel, he didn't know how to place his excited hands.

Now he is sure that Su Yue must be able to produce salt, because he saw some salt particles on the inner wall of the barrel.

"What should I do? I'll help you, I'll help you."

"I don't need any help from you now, just sit there and heal your wounds."

"No, no, I must help you. I want to see with my own eyes how the salt comes out."

Looking at the persistent Ah Hao, Su Yue was helpless,
"That's all right, you help me light the fire!"

"Fire?"

"Correct!"

Su Yue moved out the stone pot they usually used for cooking from the space, put it on the fire, and poured the salt water in the bucket into the pot.

"Don't you want to witness how the salt comes out? Now you add fire to the bottom of the pot, boil the water dry, and the salt will come out."

"Okay, okay, I promise to burn the fire vigorously."

Su Yue looked at the excited Ah Hao, shook her head helplessly, walked over and hugged those brown hairs to the stone pot.

While making the rope, Su Yue observed the salt water in the stone pot. After about an hour, the water in the stone pot began to boil.

Su Yue took a clean stick and stirred it, and immediately found that a thick layer of salt crystals had appeared on the edge of the stick and the stone pot.

Su Yue took out a bow and arrow made of bamboo from the space, and split a small bamboo board with a stone knife.

Then they cleaned the bamboo boards, took out the bowls they used to eat, and wiped off the water inside.

Finally, I carefully scraped the edge of the stone pot and the salt on the stick into the bowl.

"I'll see, I'll see."

Just as Su Yue scraped the salt from the edge of the stone pot into the bowl, Ah Hao who was at the side couldn't wait to reach out and snatch Su Yue's bowl.

"It's really salt, it's really salt, our tribe will be saved, our tribe will be saved."

"Yue, I thank you, on behalf of all the people in the tribe, thank you."

As an upright resident, Ah Hao really understands the importance of salt.

In the past, in order to exchange salt, they exchanged all the things that could be exchanged in the tribe, so many people starved to death.

Now they can also make salt. Does that mean that they don't have to trade things from the tribe for salt in the future?

Seeing the excited Ah Hao, Su Yue was not so happy, because she found that the salt was still not very pure.

She tasted it just now, and in addition to the salty taste, it also had a very bitter taste, and the color was also yellow. Overall, she was quite dissatisfied.

Looking at the yellowed salt in the bowl, Su Yue suddenly remembered the funnel now.

If she dilutes the salt with water and filters it through a funnel several times, wouldn't it be much better?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly said to Ah Hao who was at the side,

"Hao, can you dig something out for me with your claws?"

"What, you say!"

Su Yue made gestures and explanations, and finally let Ah Hao understand,

"Don't worry, what you want is quite simple, I will make it for you right away, is this thing also used to make salt?"

Su Yue nodded,

"Then help me get some wood, I can't get away if I want to make a fire."

Seeing Ah Hao who was unwilling to leave for a moment, Su Yue could only shake her head helplessly, and found a piece of wood suitable for making a funnel and handed it over.

Because Ahao's fire is very hot, and the stone pot is boiled, he will drink a lot of water.

In about an hour, there was only one bottom left in the full pot of salt water, and a large amount of salt crystals appeared at the bottom.

Su Yue was afraid that the salt would be burnt, so she quickly asked Ah Hao to take it down and put it aside to cool slowly.

When the stone pot was cooling down, Su Yue scraped off all the salt in the stone pot with a bamboo board, and found that it was about half a catty.

If the two of them save a little food, they will have to eat for a long time.

"Salt, it's really salt, so much salt." Ah Hao looked at the bowl in Su Yue's hand and exclaimed.

Well, if so much salt is exchanged for animal skins, how much animal skins would it take to get them.

　I'm sorry, it's a bit late today, and the old saying is long and I'm asking for a ticket.
