The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

However, Shen Zhiqiu stopped his daughter in front of Dabao and said, "Yoyo, Dad knows what you mean, but in our current situation, it's better to have no salt. If the water is wasted, it will be a big problem. We haven't seen much green grass for so long."

Shen Dabao also had an expression that showed he agreed with his uncle's words.

Shen Youyou suddenly realized that the eldest brother didn't move because he was afraid of wasting water: "Don't worry, I won't waste water. I will make salt later, and Dabao brother, you guys can make a few stoves like the ones I use to distill liquor. When the time comes, we can distill the dirty water, it will be the same."

After hearing this, the boys started to act. Shen Zhiqiu was no longer worried. He sat aside with the men, waiting to watch the children's performance.

Shen Youyou asked her brothers to add water, and she taught her sisters to start stirring. The water had turned into yellow mud soup.

"Sisters, bring a few more tubs."

The few sisters who were watching without taking any action responded crisply and ran to get the basin.

It’s really real. He brought more than ten at once.

Shen Youyou first let the mud slurry sit for a while, waiting for the sealing layer, the mud to sink, and the water on the upper layer to become cool.

"Brother, pour the water into the basin carefully, without any mud."

Shen Dabao nodded: "Yes!"

Shen Youyou called to her mother again: "Mom, don't we still have a piece of new cotton cloth left? Pick up a few pieces for me so I can filter the water."

Li Jingshu responded and turned to get the cloth. Mrs. Hua felt so distressed: "Oh, no matter what kind of cloth is used, you have to use new ones."

"If there is no other way, then we must use whatever cloth is available, but this is definitely unhygienic. Since there are better options, we should still choose good ones when making things we eat."

Shen Youyou smiled ingratiatingly at her grandmother.

Old Mrs. Hua was also helpless. Her little granddaughter was good in every way except that she was too generous.

Seeing that her grandmother didn't say anything, Shen Youyou continued to work. It was impossible for you to hear her words of agreement from her pacifier. Even if you knew in your heart that what she said was true, you couldn't say it openly, "You are right. What's the big deal if I waste something just to avoid getting sick?"

Her grandmother would just think, since everyone is eating together, why do they have to use her cloth?

Every family should contribute one piece. What's the big deal if it's dirty? Just wash it clean. You won't get sick if you eat it dirty!

At this time, Li Jingshu took the face cloth and handed it to Shen Youyou. Looking at the area of ​​the cloth, Old Lady Hua glared at Li Jingshu and winked at her.

What it means is: "Why do you take so much? You can use the good cloth to make clothes for Youyou when you get to the city!"

Shen Youyou took the cloth, placed it on a clean wooden barrel, asked her two sisters to hold the two corners respectively, and asked brother Dabao to carefully pour the salt water to filter it.

After repeating this many times, Shen Youyou put some bamboo charcoal in.

This step is mainly to better filter and adsorb pigments and impurities.

After the water became clearer, Shen Youyou continued to filter it and asked her eldest brother to pour it into the distillation stove made by the other brothers for boiling and distilling.

This way the water is still clean and you can make salt. Of course, if you are not short of water, there is no need to go through so much trouble. You can just boil it in a pot.

When the dripping stops, open the lid and what appears before everyone's eyes are snow-white crystals.

At this time, Shen Zhiqiu and the others had already gathered around to watch. He was the first to pinch a little to taste it, and felt that the salt was much purer than those he bought in the county town.

"Not bad, just make more of this, it's purer than the ones I bought."

Mr. Shen, Old Man Shen, Shen Changqing, Hunter Gao, Doctor Guo... many people also tasted it and found that it was indeed purer than what they had eaten before, and this salt was free.

The salt here costs 7 cents per pound, but this doesn't cost a penny! It just wastes some water. But they can afford it.

Without salt, they might not have the strength to travel. Even if they found a place with water and grass, digging a well would be a hassle.

Of course this all depends on, that very little water is actually wasted.

Shen Luming and Shen Yuanbao looked at Shen Youyou with admiration, their eyes almost sparkling with stars.

Shen Luming has always admired his sister. He feels that after escaping the famine, his sister is no longer the sister who only knows how to read books, but seems to be able to do everything.

No wonder his sister used to tell him that there is everything in books, and he learned all these from books, right?

Shen Yuanbao felt that he was really dissatisfied with Shen Youyou in the past. Why did his grandmother love her the most as soon as she came back? Why did everyone side with her, even his own father side with Shen Youyou?

My mother also said that Sister Yoyo was a demon and had drugged the whole family.

This is not a demon, but a god. He can make salt with mud. If he is not a god, then what else could he be?

The other kids also jumped and shouted: "Yoyo sister is so awesome!"

In fact, how many children know the importance of salt? They just follow the adults in praising it and join in the fun, haha!

In this way, they took turns sleeping at night, some in the first half of the night, some in the second half, roasting chestnuts and cooking salt at the same time.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Shen Youyou opened her eyes dazedly. Her ponytail was loose and she was yawning with one hand covering her mouth.

Everyone had almost packed their things and were ready to set off. Shen Youyou was pulled up by sister Erya, and Shen Daya and Taohua hurriedly packed bedding for their sister and put it on the cart.

Shen Yuanbao and Shen Luming looked helpless. Even Sister Yoyo, who could make salt out of soil, was still so sleepy and woke up later than them.

After washing her face, Shen Youyou ate a grass seed cotton cake and drank a bowl of wild vegetable soup. As a result, her grandmother secretly gave her some roasted chestnuts.

"Yuanbao and his friends have already finished their five each, so we all agree to give you five as a reward for making salt. Eat them secretly, otherwise Yuanbao will see and try to grab them."

Shen Youyou acted like a thief and quickly wrapped it in a piece of cloth, planning to eat it secretly with her sisters on the way.

"Grandma, how much salt did you make in one night?"

Old Mrs. Hua has been very happy recently. Although she is tired from fleeing famine, her son and her lovely grandchildren make her proud. Several old women in the village either praise her son or her lovely grandchildren, which makes the old lady unhappy.

Of course, anyone who believes this is stupid!

"You have two jars of wine, which will last us a long time. We have no meat to pickle."

Speaking of this, the old lady felt a little disappointed. If there was meat now, it would be great. She wouldn't mind adding any amount of salt, because it was free!

The dried and undried chestnuts are put into baskets or bags. At worst, we can take a rest at night and continue roasting.

Even the four newly found large stones were put on the car and have been shaped into a rough shape, so they cannot be thrown away.

As Father Shen said, "Let's go!"

Pushing carts, everyone set out on a new journey again.

However, this time they had water, food, and salt, and everyone had a smile on their face. This moment also made their hesitant hearts more determined to go to the north and start a new life!
