Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

Use bamboo strips to make a funnel-shaped support, and then place the clothes on the funnel.

The bottom layer is covered with a layer of very fine sand, followed by a layer of gauze; on the gauze, a layer of fine gravel is placed, and on the gravel, another layer of gauze is placed...

So on and so forth.

Until the top layer has turned into pebble-sized stones.

A simple filtering device is ready.

Filtering seawater just once is not enough.

Although this ancient seawater is as clear as a layer of glass, psychologically speaking, it is more reassuring to filter it a few more times.

So Sang Tian made several filtering devices with gauze.

Hang this filter device on the pot support.

At this time, the sea water is already in the bucket.

The male uses a scoop to scoop the water from the bucket into the filter device little by little for filtration.

The filtered seawater will flow into the pot at the bottom of the funnel.

Filtered four or five times in succession.

In fact, the sea water is already very clear. Even after filtering several times, the difference in color is not that big.

There is not much residue on the gauze visible to the naked eye.

The seawater in this pot has been filtered.

The other tribesmen moved to another pot to filter the sea water.

Sang Tian was doing the evaporation.

Duo sat on the beach and cooked a pot.

During the heating process, Sang Tian needs to stir constantly with a spoon.

Prevent local temperature from being too high, causing seawater to splash in the pot.

slowly.

Seawater evaporates.

It was visibly visible that the amount of sea water in the pot was getting less and less.

A little bit of white salt remained on the dried-up pot wall.

But his eyes were pure.

Sang Tian took a little and put it in his mouth to taste it.

Ah!

Yes, that’s the taste!

The salt made by coastal tribes probably doesn't know how to filter it because there are too many impurities in the seawater.

So the color is yellow and the salt tastes bitter.

When more white salt crystals appeared at the bottom of the pot, Sang Tian told Duo to stop adding firewood.

Now all we have to do is use the residual heat from the fire to evaporate the remaining moisture.

Do not stop heating until the solution is completely evaporated.

Otherwise, these salt crystals may splash due to uneven heating.

Finally, the remaining water in the pot has completely dried up.

Cang used tongs to remove the iron pot and placed it on the ground to cool.

The tribesmen gathered around to watch.

The crackling bonfire cast a red glow on the white salt grains at the bottom of the iron pot.

The tribesmen first widened their eyes, then let out a short scream.

"Is this the salt we Tianlang made ourselves?

So white! "

"That's right, the salt from the Sea Cliff Tribe is yellow, not this white!"

"Like snowflakes."

It was something finer than the frost flowers in the early morning and purer than the ice crystals on the cliff.

Lei put a little on his fingertips.

Licked it.

The salty and astringent taste exploding on the tip of the tongue instantly awakens the instinctive desire for taste in the blood.

"Everyone, try it! It's not bitter at all. It's much better than the salt made by the coastal tribes!"

Everyone also dipped their fingertips in salt and tasted it.

Someone leaped up first, swinging their powerful arms high into the air, scattering salt grains into the night sky. The crowd erupted in deafening cheers. A pinch of salt, pinched between their fingertips, was instantly greeted by the burst of fresh, fragrant flavor, making everyone want to jump for joy!

This is not stone or soil, but a "gift from God" that can make meat fresher, heal wounds, and preserve food from spoiling.

They gathered around the salt blocks that were still solidifying at the bottom of the pot, the firelight casting shadows on the beach, their faces full of smiles and joy.

Like a group of wild beasts that finally caught the starlight, they carved this miracle, boiled out of the bitter brine, into their bones.

"We, Tianlang, have successfully produced salt!"

"I didn't expect that making salt is so easy. Sigh, I've been paying exorbitant salt prices for so many years."

……

Sang Tian wasn't shocked at all.

In modern times, every junior high school student has seen this in their chemistry textbooks.

There was only a thin layer of salt at the bottom of the pot.

Moreover, the salt particles are uneven in size and need to be ground later.

But the only thing is...

The quantity is too small.

A full iron pot of salt water, only a little bit of salt crystallized at the bottom of the pot...

There are about 100 grams of salt in every 3.5 grams of seawater.

This iron pot can hold about ten liters of water.

With so much sea water, only about 350 grams were produced.

350 grams!

This is only the amount of a small can of Coke...

faint……

How long will it take for this to be accomplished?

Fortunately, I don’t lack time.

I also brought enough pots.

Three hundred of my tribesmen, I don’t believe that in three months, from morning to night, we can’t produce a salt mountain for you.

After cooling, the salt is transferred to a long table where the females sit and grind it.

Then put it into a clay pot.

……

Three hundred people were busy until late at night.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the sea breeze is howling.

Sang Tian made pineapple beef, stewed longan chicken, and lychee ice drink. He also made honey eel, spicy shrimp tails, garlic oysters, and so on.

There is also a big pot of crab roe and sea urchin soup.

There was also a pile of octopus feet burning on the fire.

It doesn't take much effort to live a prosperous life at the seaside.

Wait for a while to stabilize.

Sang Tian led the tribe to collect kelp, seaweed, etc. They also started making dried fish.
