Chapter 10 Salt Production from Seawater
Compared to the first meal I had on the island last night, Long Zhan and Mu Yanfei, who became Xilong Island at noon the next day, had naturally had a lot of food. At least in Mu Yanfei's opinion, with Long Zhan by her side, she didn't have to worry about being hungry.
Boil various conchs and seashells, boiled octopus, charcoal-grilled sea fish and charcoal-grilled potatoes, and sea treasure juice poured into bamboo cups. Such a rich food makes Mu Yanfei feel that she is not on an isolated island, but on a holiday by the sea.
Seeing that Mu Yanfei didn't move her chopsticks, Long Zhan also smiled and said, "Eat! It's already noon, aren't you hungry?"
"Well, eat! Brother Long, thank you really!"
"How many words have you said from yesterday to now? Don't you feel annoyed? Eat quickly, I'll have to sleep for a while later!"
"oh!"
Mu Yanfei, who was not talking about anything more, looked at Long Zhan’s charcoal-grilled potato peeled for her and felt that this way of eating was fresh and delicious. With the octopus strips cut with bamboo knife, you can occasionally bite a piece of grilled fish, and this meal was really delicious.
If you really want to be picky, maybe all the ingredients are light. Fortunately, the seafood itself tastes good, and even if it doesn’t have any saltiness, the two of them still enjoy eating it. Just like last night, the remaining food was wiped out by Dragon War.
After the two of them finished their meal, they cleaned up the stone table that served as the dining table. The dishes and garbage they used were cleaned up by Long Zhan. Long Zhan, who returned to the shelter, also said directly: "Do you want to sleep?"
"Um!"
I always feel a little embarrassed when I sleep in broad daylight. But when facing Long Zhan’s inquiry, Mu Yanfei, who seemed to have misunderstood, seemed to have misunderstood, just like a girl waiting to enter the bridal chamber, still nodded with a blushing face and agreed to Long Zhan’s invitation.
Unexpectedly, she was carried into the shelter. Long Zhan took off the clothespin from the clothespin, and wrapped her delicate little feet again. Just like last night, she was allowed to sleep inside, while Long Zhan still slept outside.
Just as Mu Yanfei was waiting for something, Long Zhan smiled and said, "Accustomed to taking naps will help restore your mental strength, go to bed!"
Long Zhan, who said this, looked very regular in his hands and feet. Instead, Mu Yanfei, who was snuggling in his arms, was ashamed of shame. She was even worried that her unconsciousness would make Long Zhan misunderstand that she was a frivolous girl?
But she didn't know that for Long Zhan, he really wanted to do something to her, at any time. The reason why people call human beings is perhaps because human nature has its glorious and commendable side.
If you can't even resist this kind of temptation, how can you talk about achieving great things? Good food is not afraid of being late, this is also the idea of Long Zhan!
Mu Yanfei, who was nestled in Long Zhan's arms, had no idea from the beginning to when she fell asleep in the end. On the other hand, Long Zhan, who lay down and quickly fell asleep, hugged the girl tightly in his arms.
Even if this is a bit domineering, Long Zhan is also worried that when he sleeps well, what will the girl do? For example, if the dragon horn dagger placed beside him, he will definitely be killed if he just stabs him.
This kind of thought may make people think too dark. But Long Zhan understands that if he had not made the worst plan in his previous life, he would probably not have been able to achieve the title of Adventure King. Compared with the various traps in the adventure land, humans traveling with him are the biggest threat.
Holding the girl in her arms, as long as the girl wants to break free from his restraints, she will wake him up from a deep sleep. What makes him feel relieved is that when she wakes up naturally, the girl is very obedient and even sleeps more steadily than him.
Looking at the position of his palm, Long Zhan also smiled bitterly and said, "I still don't control this hand!"
Removed the palm of his hand from the comfortable place to touch, freed the girl from Long Zhan, and left the shelter with a light step. He glanced at the location of the sunshine. Long Zhan knew that it should be a few hours before dark.
Thinking that the remaining ingredients at noon should be enough for the two of them to eat at night. But at noon, Long Zhan still felt that there was no smell. While it was still dark, Long Zhan planned to extract some sea salt and set aside.
If you don’t eat salt, people will lose their strength. Although Long Zhan doesn’t know, this person who understands practicing in time and space may be able to do so through practice without eating or drinking. But Long Zhan knows that he will definitely not be able to do it now.
Even if one day he practices to that level, he should not practice his verbal desires. In his opinion, food should not be disappointed. If he only knows how to practice every day in the future, what is the meaning of such a life?
From the campfire burned last night, take out some charcoal and rinse it repeatedly with clean water. Make sure that the charcoal particles no longer flow out of black water, Long Zhan then put it into a bamboo tube for use. The cleaned micro-grained charcoal will also be used to filter seawater.
In addition to charcoal filtration, the sea water used to make sea salt will also be filtered through fine sand and cotton cloth. Compared with the sea salt directly cooked, the sea salt cooked after three-level filtration will not have a bitter taste and will be safer to eat.
Worried that the girl would not find her when she woke up and prepared the salt-making stuff, Long Zhan said: "Yan Fei, wake up!"
"Uh! Brother Long, have you gotten up? When has it been?"
"It's okay! It's still early! I'm going to go to the beach. Are you going to continue sleeping or coming out?"
"I won't sleep anymore, I'll come out!"
Mu Yanfei, who was woken up, also felt a little embarrassed. Compared with Long Zhan, her alertness was undoubtedly much worse. When she relaxed her mind and became weaker in her body, she naturally seemed a little prone to sleep.
Just like before, he went into the shelter and took her out, put a bamboo tube next to her, and Long Zhan said: "The water we drink in the future must be boiled water. If you feel thirsty, wait until you pour it yourself, I'll go down first."
"Well, then be careful and remember to come back early."
"Okay, I understand!"
After responding, Long Zhan, who jumped off the rock wall with several bamboo tubes on his back, quickly disappeared from Mu Yanfei's sight. Looking at the things prepared on the stove, she was also full of curiosity, but she did not dare to walk around casually.
Even if she woke up after sleeping, she felt that the soles of her feet were no longer as painful as before. But thinking that because of her injury, Long Zhan had to take care of her so hard, she could only sit honestly and dare not cause any more trouble for Long Zhan.
When he came to the beach and saw the clear sea water, Long Zhan also sighed: "If there was such an island in the past, it would probably have become a coastal resort!"
After saying this, Long Zhan, who knew that he might not be able to return to his original time and space in this life, would be filled with bamboo tubes of sea water quickly. He fucked the water and returned to the shelter. Seeing Mu Yanfei sitting honestly, Long Zhan still smiled with relief.
"It seems that it's not bad to have such a mascot!"
"Are your feet better?"
Mu Yanfei, who heard Long Zhan’s questioning, also smiled and nodded, “It’s much better, I don’t even feel that it hurts much!”
"Then let it bear it! If it's fast, it's okay to take a few steps occasionally tomorrow."
"Hmm! What are you going to do?"
"Make salt! Don't you think what you eat at noon is a bit boring?"
"It's okay! Actually, I'm eating lighter at home."
"That's not possible! You still need to eat salt. If you don't eat it for a long time, you will lose energy. But sea salt cannot be cooked directly. If the sea water that boils the salt is not clean, you may be poisoned after eating it. It should be possible to use it for a while."
"Brother Long, you are so amazing. You even know the method of making salt in sea water!"
Faced with the girl's praise, Long Zhan didn't know what answer he should have. He walked directly to the stove and poured the sea water into the bamboo tube containing cotton and fine sand. As the sea water poured in, the bamboo tube containing fine sand and cotton began to seep water.
After the sea water filtered by cotton cloth and fine sand, pour it into a bamboo tube filled with charcoal for filtering. Long Zhan tasted the outflowing sea water and found that it was still very salty, but it lacked the bitter taste before, which means that the filtration effect was still very good.
