Chapter 216 is done!
Chen Yuan suddenly caught a glimpse of several large basins on the ground, so he asked Qianxia curiously.
"Chinatsu, what are you doing...?"
Chinatsu smiled and said, "Oh, I was just planning on trying to make salt."
Shen Yuan looked at Qianxia in shock.
"You, can make salt?!"
"No, I'm just trying it. There's no loss if I can't do it, right?"
Chinatsu still smiled faintly.
Chen Yuan glanced at the several wooden basins on the ground again, and when he looked at Qianxia again, there was a trace of inquiry in his eyes. He wanted to say something, but stopped in the end with a deeper meaning.
It takes a lot of time for the mermaids to make salt, but Chinatsu and the others only plan to stay here for one day.
He was very curious about how salt was made in such a short time.
Yin Feng looked at the beautiful pearl in Qianxia's hand and walked to Chen Yuan with a smile.
"Um... Chen Yuan, are you going to hunt in the sea later?"
Shen Yuan glanced at the sky and nodded.
"Um... could you also find me a bead like Chinatsu's? I want to give one to my partner as well. What do you need? Or I can give you spirit stones as a reward!"
Speaking of spirit stones, Yin Feng suddenly remembered that he had temporarily put Xuan Qi's spirit stones into the space because of a small incident that happened before.
Yin Feng immediately released the spirit stones from the large animal skin bag from the space.
"Xuan Qi, I put the spirit stone away earlier. I forgot about it while I was cooking."
Xuan Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and put the spirit stone into the space.
He was so worried about the kid that he didn't even remember about this.
Chen Yuan looked at Yin Feng and smiled: "There are probably no more similar to Qianxia's, but there are some smaller ones."
"Yes, yes. A smaller one is also fine. Do you think spirit stones are okay? Or do you want some energy beast meat from the Misty Forest?"
Yin Feng looked at Chen Yuan with gratitude.
Spirit stones and energy beast meat are the most valuable things on him. I don't think Chen Yuan will need animal skins or the like.
"No need, just keep it. It's a convenient thing to do. Just consider it a gift for your family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Feng suddenly hugged Chen Yuan.
"Chen Yuan! You are my good brother!"
Xuan Qi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Yin Feng: "You said the same thing to me before."
“Pfft…hahahaha…”
Chinatsu couldn't help laughing, and then everyone else started laughing too.
Chen Yuan pushed Yin Feng away with a polite smile on his face, then added fuel to the fire.
"Then the question is, who is your brother, me or Xuan Qi?"
Yin Feng looked at the two of them with a strange expression and waved his hand.
"Oh, don't say things that are detrimental to unity. You and Xuan Qi are almost family, which means you're also family with us. We're one family, and we're inseparable."
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Hearing these words, the corners of Shen Yuan's mouth couldn't help but rise...
When the sunlight became soft, the sea water finally drained out and the melon seeds were dried. The next step was to officially make salt.
The filtered seawater is placed in a stone pot and boiled.
When the full pot of sea water was boiled down to one-tenth of its capacity, a layer of white substance had formed on the edge of the stone pot.
Qianxia specially selected two pieces of animal skins to cover the small wooden basin, poured one tenth of the sea salt water in the pot on the animal skins, and waited for the second filtration to be completed.
The process of filtering the animal skins was quite long. As the sun gradually set, it was almost time to prepare dinner.
Chen Yuan looked at the sky and felt a little anxious. After his mind raced, he made a decision.
"Chinatsu, I'm going to go hunting first. I'll be back soon."
He actually wanted to ask if he could continue making salt after he came back, but it seemed too deliberate, so he gave up.
This sudden report made Chinatsu startled, then she smiled and nodded.
Chen Yuan turned around and ran towards the beach, then jumped into the sea.
Chi Hua watched the figure disappear from the sea and muttered, "Why is this guy so anxious to go hunting? Is he afraid that we won't give him food?"
Xuan Qi glanced at Chi Hua calmly, then glanced at the sea.
Time passed minute by minute, and when the sea salt water ran out, Shen Yuan came out of the sea with a few prey in his hands.
Qianxia looked at the several extra-large lobsters in Chen Yuan's hand and her mouth twitched again...
Seafood that was previously unaffordable in modern times can now be eaten.
Chen Yuan held four lobster tentacles in his left hand and a larger salmon in his right hand. He walked quickly to the shore and put the prey in his hands on the ground.
Everyone looked at Chen Yuan and the prey on the ground in surprise.
"I saw you were quite fond of this prey today. I happened to have a bigger one, so I caught it."
Chen Yuan looked at everyone and smiled, then bent down, took out a pearl from the fish's mouth and threw it to Yin Feng who was looking at him expectantly.
Looking at the round and beautiful pearls in his hand, Yinfeng was extremely happy.
It’s so beautiful!
"Thank you, Chen Yuan! Good brother is in my heart!"
"puff......"
Hearing this, Chinatsu couldn't help herself. She immediately thought of a celebrity's advertisement...
Qianxia smiled and met Chen Yuan's smiling eyes...
My heart suddenly skipped a beat again.
"Invisible seduction is the most deadly!"
Chinatsu turned her gaze away and muttered quietly, the tips of her ears feeling slightly hot.
"Xia Xia, what should we do next?"
Kanchuan held the filtered Caspian Sea salt water in a small basin and looked at Chinatsu, waiting for the next instruction.
With a calm expression, Chinatsu looked at Hanchuan with a smile on her face.
"The next step is to make the salt!"
When they heard that the salt production was about to begin, everyone gathered around.
"Put this small basin of sea salt water in a new stone pot and boil it over high heat."
Following Chinatsu's instructions, Kanchuan poured sea salt water into another clean stone pot, and Chihua immediately lit the fire on the stove.
Soon the sea salt water in the pot began to boil, and Chinatsu immediately stirred it with a wooden spatula.
As the water evaporated, white salt crystals slowly appeared in the pot.
When it was cooked to a consistency that looked a bit like thick porridge, Qianxia immediately asked Chihua to turn off the fire, took out the animal skins that had been selected and slightly processed before, poured the salt in the pot on them little by little, and then set it aside, waiting for the remaining moisture to drain away bit by bit.
After a while, the wet salt had formed a little clumping. Qianxia immediately poured the salt into the clean stone pot and continued to stir-fry over low heat.
Soon the salt was fried dry and after turning off the heat, white salt grains were left in the pot.
Chinatsu took a little salt and tasted it. It didn't have a bitter taste and was very similar to the table salt she was used to eating.
The color of the salt is a little yellow, but it is quite close to white.
"We've made salt, and it tastes better than the salt we used before!"
