The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

Chapter 239 Follow me for a lifetime

We didn't wait too long. In about half an hour, buckets of water were placed in the courtyard, and the handymen came back with two bags of plant ash.

The method of making salt will need to be kept secret for a short time. Lin Xiaofan called Wu Fengxue and Liu Sisi and went to an empty room.

"Husband, why did you call us here?"

Liu Sisi asked with confusion on her face.

The husband came with a bag of salt, a bag of ashes, two buckets of water, and a bag of stones.

She couldn't understand, were these things related to each other?

Guan Fengxue on the side was also full of questions.

"Refined salt."

Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to explain.

"what?"

Hearing this, the two became even more confused. Make refined salt from ashes and stones?

"Using these, the salt can be further refined to make it taste better and less harmful to the human body."

Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to explain, took out some of the plant ash, put it in a cloth bag, and gave it to me to avoid the wind and snow. Get another bucket and put it underneath.

And he poured water down there. It didn’t take long for the bucket below to collect water to be filled.

"Husband, are you sure the salt refined with this water is edible?"

Liu Sisi looked at the bucket of black water in front of her and felt a little disgusted, and she also had some doubts about Lin Xiaofan's actions.

It’s outrageous to say that you can use these useless ash to make salt that tastes better.

"This is called pure lye, and it can remove some impurities from the salt."

Lin Xiaofan said.

Pure lye?

Liu Sisi and Guan Fengxue were even more puzzled. They had never heard of this word.

"Counsel Lin, I admit that you are smarter than me. If you can save the defeated Qingzhou battlefield, you must be more knowledgeable than me. But you said that you can use this black water to make salt that is better than fine salt. I will never believe it. of."

Wu Fengxue opened the cloth bag, and it turned into a dark mess inside.

"Don't believe it? How about we make a bet?"

Lin Xiaofan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Come on, Brother Lin, just make the bet."

Wu Fengxue rolled up her sleeves, her face full of arrogance.

No one wanted the ashes from burning vegetation, so he didn't believe it could have such a useful effect.

"If I can use these plant ash and stones to make refined salt, you will follow me for the rest of your life."

Lin Xiaofan said with a smile in his eyes.

When Wu Fengxue heard this, she paused.

"Brother Lin, aren't you just asking me to sign a deed of betrayal? Then tell me, what should I do if I can't make it?"

"If I can't make it, I'll teach you some weapons that are several times more powerful than a repeating crossbow. One of them, even for people who have never practiced martial arts, can deal with an army of more than a dozen people. If the quantity is large, even It can make an army of hundreds of people disappear into thin air.”

Lin Xiaofan said.

What he said has basis.

In the last battle in Qingzhou, he used Lei Zhenzi to destroy an army of thousands of people.

Although there was help from Jianfeng's army, it was indeed Lei Zhenzi who killed him.

"An ordinary person, against an army of hundreds of people? Haha, Brother Lin, are you kidding me?"

Guan Fengxue laughed and said, thinking that Lin Xiaofan was fooling him.

But soon, he discovered that Lin Xiaofan's eyes were very serious and did not look like he was lying at all.

For a moment, he had some doubts about his thoughts.

No, is what Lin Xiaofan said true?

"Brother Wu, what my husband said is indeed true. That weapon can make a sound like thunder, and it can make a big hole in one go."

Liu Sisi on the side opened her mouth to explain.

Judging from Liu Sisi's silly look, she obviously didn't look like someone who could lie. And it didn't look like Lin Xiaofan was joking, let alone lying to him.

Wu Fengxue's eyes kept changing.

Is it possible that there really is such a weapon?

"Brother Lin, you really didn't lie to me?"

Lin Xiaofan nodded seriously.

Seeing this, Wu Fengxue took a deep breath. He understood that Lin Xiaofan did not lie to him, but he still didn't believe it. In other words, with his knowledge, he couldn't accept such an outrageous thing.

In his opinion, fighting mainly depends on one's own strength, and the gap between weapons is not big.

Even drawing a bow and shooting an arrow requires a certain amount of proficiency and strength, otherwise you won't be able to draw it or shoot accurately.

But the repeating crossbow invented by Lin Xiaofan solved this problem.

As long as you know how to use a repeating crossbow, even an ordinary person can kill two or three well-equipped soldiers.

However, this weapon was still within the scope of his understanding. It was the epitome of the giant crossbow in the army and an enhanced version of the bow and arrow.

But the kind of weapon Lin Xiaofan just mentioned was completely beyond his comprehension.

"What? Brother Wu doesn't dare to gamble?"

Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth and said provocatively.

"Hmph, what do I have to be afraid of? Just bet!"

Wu Fengxue waved her hand and came down.

He originally wanted to be with Lin Xiaofan for the rest of his life, so even if he lost, there would be no loss. If he wins, he can also learn the weapons Lin Xiaofan mentioned, which is worth it no matter how he looks at it.

"Okay, then Brother Wu, you should keep an eye on it."

Lin Xiaofan took out the salt, poured it all into the small bucket, and poured the salt into it little by little.

The yellowish salt gradually dissolves into the water, less and less, and a small amount of impurities also precipitate out. Lin Xiaofan didn't stop until the last bit of salt dissolved.

After settling for a while, Lin Xiaofan separated the water and solids in the bucket. Now, the saturated brine is ready.

After filtering out all the impurities inside, Lin Xiaofan added hydrated lime and finally plant ash.

This salt, after being purified with soda ash and carbonate, is expected to be much better.

After waiting for a long time, Lin Xiaofan filtered again and poured the salt water into the bucket.

"Brother Wu, Sisi, we still need to go out."

Lin Xiaofan said.

Now the last step is to evaporate the water and let the salt crystallize again.

Wu Fengxue nodded thoughtfully. He had been watching the process of the salt dissolving just now.

When adding water in the first step, some impurities did precipitate.

In other words, after this step, the salt does become purer than before.

Moreover, after Lin Xiaofan added stones and gray water, more impurities appeared.

Could it be that what Lin Xiaofan said is true? Can this method really make the salt purer?

But soon, he shook his head again. How is it possible to further purify salt using plant ashes and stones? I think the impurities should be already in the gray water.

This winter courtyard has its own kitchen, which saves you a trip out.

Lin Xiaofan lit a fire, poured saturated salt water into it, and waited for it to slowly evaporate.

This process took a long time, but the three of them did not find it boring. Instead, they stayed in front of the pot, looking forward to the appearance of the new salt.

If Lin Xiaofan succeeds, it will be enough to take over the salt market of the entire Daqian Kingdom.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Sisi's eyes lit up and she said excitedly:

"Look, there's salt!"
