Li Lanzhen laughed and said, "Mom can do magic. Hahaha. Come on, work hard."

When Li Lanzhen found that the boiling water in the big pot was almost gone, she opened the lid and carefully tilted it towards the wooden barrel on the ground.

The water droplets gurgled along the lid of the pot and rolled into the wooden barrel.

At this time, everyone saw a layer of white crystals in the iron pot.

Xue Nizi's eyes turned, she reached out and picked up some white crystals from the pot, put them on her tongue, and then looked at Li Lanzhen with sparkling eyes, "Mom! This is salt!!!"

When everyone heard this, they reached out their hands to pinch some white crystals and smashed them on their tongues.

They were all pleasantly surprised and said, "It's really salt! It's saltier than the big-grain salt I bought. It's fine and white."

When Xue Nizi saw that more and more people were gathering around, she used a shovel to shovel out all the salt in the pot, put it in a small wooden jar, covered it with a lid, and took it away.

The people who came later only heard about it but didn’t see it, and they were all asking what happened?

Li Sanya told everyone in a loud voice, "Oh, let me tell you, our aunt-in-law is amazing. She asked us to fetch river water to boil this pot of water, and then put a lid on the pot... In the end, the wooden barrel underground is pure drinkable water. In the pot is fine, white, and salty salt! Oh, my aunt-in-law is amazing!!"

After her explanation, everyone's eyes opened wider and wider, and finally they clapped their hands excitedly, looking at Li Lanzhen with grateful and excited eyes.

The old village chief laughed, put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes, and looked at Li Lanzhen as if he were a treasure. "Lanzhen, can we all use your method?"

Li Lanzhen looked at those pairs of eager eyes. She knew that in ancient times, a skill one possessed would not be passed on to others unless the person himself agreed. Just like in the mountains, everyone followed Li Erhan to learn how to build carts.

However, she had no intention of monopolizing this method.

He nodded and said, "Okay, everyone can try this method. We can extract some pure water that we can drink, and at the same time we can extract some salt."

She looked at the old village chief and asked, "Old village chief, how long are we going to stay here? Should we walk along the river or go out through the stone forest?"

The old village chief laughed and said, "We just walk along this underground river. It's the same direction. When we get out, we'll see the mountains. After we climb over the mountains, we'll reach Youzhou at the foot of the mountains.

We originally thought that we would walk in the underground river, at least we wouldn't be exposed to the sun, but we didn't expect you to bring us such a big surprise. How about this, we stay here for two days, everyone can make some pure water, and then we can extract some salt, and then we can leave."

When someone heard this, he immediately said, "But we don't have any firewood. There is nothing but rocks on the beach. There is not even a blade of grass. The same is true in the river. There is not even a blade of green grass."

Han Shunde stepped forward and said, "How about this. When it gets dark, every family that needs firewood can send one person out. We'll go up the tunnel and walk two kilometers from the stone forest, where we'll see dry firewood. Just pick up a little every day and it'll be enough."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

Li Lanzhen taught them this method, and she stopped caring about these things. She and Han Mingjiang and Han Minghai decided where to rest at night. Both sides of the river are wide and close, and the side near the stone wall is okay, not damp.

She ran to the mule cart, dug out some dry firewood from the space, and asked them to put down a few more straw mats so that Zhang Yu Niang could have a rest and not work, and gave the dry firewood to Xue Nizi.

Zhang Yue Niang was reluctant to say that she had not been feeling unwell these days and that she also wanted to do some work.

Li Lanzhen waved her hand and said, "What can you do? Can you fetch water or light a fire? Just lie down here and rest. Get some energy. When Mina walks, don't hold her back."

Then he handed her a paper bag with brown sugar in it, "Help yourself with some snacks. Drink a bowl every day to take good care of my grandson in your belly."

Zhang Yueniang is not afraid of Li Lanzhen at all now. She knows that although Li Lanzhen's tone of voice is bad, she knows that her mother-in-law is the best mother-in-law in the world.

Zhang Yueniang's mother, Zhang Li, looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a smile. She told her husband and son more than once, "My aunt-in-law is such a good person. Why did people say she was a top-notch person in the past? If the top-notch people are so good, I want to be one of them, too."

This made everyone in their family laugh. Li Sanya whispered, "Mother-in-law, don't you know? My sister-in-law's mother-in-law is really a top-notch person. She is amazing.

But since fleeing the famine, she has become so nice. Have you forgotten that year, she bullied my sister-in-law, and I chased her to her doorstep in their village, jumping and scolding her.

As a result, when I fled the famine, she treated me so well. At first, I was worried, but in the end, I realized that she was really kind to me, so I felt relieved, worked harder, and listened to her. "

Zhang Li patted her and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to be disrespectful and call her aunt. Work hard and follow your aunt. I think your aunt is very capable. Our family will enjoy great happiness if we follow her."

Zhang Deshui and Zhang Songshu, father and son, also nodded, "Yes. My aunt-in-law is really a very capable person. It was the right decision for us to follow her this time."

Big Cow, Second Cow, and Third Cow also said with their bellies sticking out, "Yes. It is the right thing for us to follow our grandmother out. She is so kind to us."

Li Lanzhen looked at the people from Hanjia Village and the other two villages, who were setting up their positions along the river bank. Some were boiling salt water, some were extracting pure water, and they were busy.

Nizi was watching the stall at home, so she held Miaomiao and Linglong's hands and walked along the river bank. She wanted to take a look. Is it true that there is not even a single plant growing here?

They walked forward about a hundred meters, and a bright sunlight shone through the underground river, shining on the surface of the river, shining like a mirror.

Li Lanzhen wondered why there was a hole here?

The two children let go of her hands and ran happily forward.

After Li Lanzhen arrived here, she looked up and saw that it was indeed a cave, but it was surrounded by large rocks and no green trees or grass.

Looking back at the river bank, a bright sunshine was shining on the river. The river water was like a mirror, and the reflected light was shining on the stone wall opposite the river bank.

As she watched, Li Lanzhen's expression changed.

Honey, please have a cold drink. Give a free one to cheer for love!
