Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 145 Salt Mine (Part )

The light of the firewood deep in the dark cave illuminated a stone wall red, and a crisp voice came from the innermost part:

"Yes, that's it, add it in, do you see the precipitate? Filter it out, put the filtered part into the pot here and cook it."

"Add more! Don't you see any sediment? Keep adding, and stop when there is no more sediment."

"Look! The salt is out!"

"Really are!"

The voices of Mei Qian and Wang He came from the depths of the cave.

After dinner, Chang Ping brought Chang An to see Mei Qian and Wang He. When he heard Mei Qian say that salt came out, Chang Ping couldn't help but speed up his steps.

As soon as they entered, they saw Mei Qian holding a wooden shovel and happily showing off her snow-white fine salt to everyone.

Suddenly, Chang Ping's breathing stagnated.

Fine salt!

The person who was sent by Chang Ping to help saw Mei Qian displaying salt and forgot what he was doing for a moment.

"Oh my God! So good!"

Wang He was not too flustered, so he pinched a handful and put it directly into his mouth, and kept saying, "It's great, this salt is so good!"

"Really? I'll try it too."

Chang Ping and Chang An had been noticed by Mei Qian when they came over. Now after hearing what Chang An and the others said, Mei Qian also brought over the salt that first precipitated from the pot for the two of them to taste.

When Chang Ping discovered the salt mine and told them about it, he had already gone to the top of the mountain to inspect it. Although the salt stone that had not been refined by Mei Qian at that time had a salty taste, the bitterness in it was also very obvious.

But now the fine white salt has no bitter taste at all, and the simple salty taste surprises him!

"I have to tell the prince this good news!"

Changping was very excited. He had never expected that there would be a salt mine here after being their stronghold for so many years!
Who would believe this?
Mei Qian didn't care that these few people were so excited that they didn't look like they could sleep tonight, but she was exhausted today. After mastering this set of salt refining tools and processes, she only felt tired all over. Come on, she has to go back and get some sleep.

So, Mei Qian waved her hand and said she would leave first.

After she finished this process, she still had one or two hundred pounds of salt water waiting to be boiled out tonight. She didn't want to wait for a "miracle" to happen like everyone else.

Mei Qian thought about it, and after leaving the cave, when no one was around, she drank a bottle of nutrient solution to replenish the nutrients she had lost from running around in the past few days.

When she returned to the cave, Water chestnut was squatting beside her bed, waiting for her to come back as if she was dozing off.

As expected, Mei Qian poured the water and Watershed Jiao woke up immediately. When he saw Mei Qian, he immediately rubbed his eyes to wake himself up. He came to Mei Qian's side and said, "Girl, have you been busy for so long today?"

"Yeah. What about you? Is everything okay in the cave?"

"It's very nice here. There are still people patrolling from time to time."

Since Lingjiao followed Mei Qian, she had a lot of time every day, which made Lingjiao a little uncomfortable.

"Girl, why don't you take me with you next time you go on an errand?"

Hearing Ling Jiao say this, Mei Qian felt very different and asked, "Why do you suddenly think of coming with me?"

“It’s not like I suddenly remembered it, it’s just that I have been following the girl these past few days, and I do feel uneasy because I am always taking advantage of you.

I am stupid and don't know what else I can do for the girl. "

After hearing this, Mei Qian couldn't help but smile. "How can I get free food? Why don't you open a small stove for me and clean the cave?"

"Every day I just clean the cave. Girl, I will finish this job very quickly every day."

Mei Qian never thought that someone would actually want to do more work.

"You are with me, but some things involve confidentiality, and Mr. Wang may not agree."

It's not that Mei Qian was suspicious, even if Mei Qian didn't mind, Wang He and Changping couldn't say they cared about it.

After all, the salt mine can be considered a secret nowadays, and Chang Ping's people have been helping them deal with the salt mine in the past few days.

Mei Qian's dilemma was naturally understood by Lingjiao, and she also seemed to understand that her request just now was a little too much, and quickly explained: "Don't worry, girl, I just want to do more things with her, and serve her tea and water when she is busy. If not, For convenience, can you please allow me to take on some tasks assigned by adults after finishing my daily work?"

"Of course. If you feel bored, you can naturally find someone to talk to. Well, you can also find some easy tasks."

Mei Qian looked at the little girl in front of her, and realized at this time that maybe she didn't really want to work, but just wanted to talk to someone.

"girl……"

Realizing that Mei Qian had noticed, Lingjiao lowered his head in embarrassment and explained in a low voice: "I just thought there were people around..."

When she is alone, she can't help but be afraid, can't help but think wildly, and feels like she is the only one left in the world.

Mei Qian thought of the work she and Wang He had done there. In fact, many of the jobs were not easy. Mei Qian was worried that Ling Jiao would be a little tired after cleaning and doing other tasks for her, so she said, "If you are not in a hurry, I'll talk to the adults later. You can go to the cafeteria and help me make some breakfast and dinner."

"it is good!"

The water chestnuts in the cafeteria are ripe!

She used to work in the kitchen as a helper, and she was almost like a helper in the canteen. She can do this well!

Seeing Ling Jiao smiling happily, Mei Qian was also curious. Is this really so happy?

Mei Qian couldn't help but reflect on herself, did she give her very little work?

For the past two days, Lingjiao cleaned the cave for herself every day. When the weather was nice, she would take out the leather on her stone bed to dry it.

Sometimes she and Wang He get busy, and they are still busy during the evening meal, and Ling Jiao has to find her everywhere to get food.

Mei Qian just thought about it, if there was any V letter step count, then the step rate of Lingjiao's busy walking around every day would be in the tens of thousands.

When Mei Qian went to work at Wang He's place early the next morning, she saw that Wang He, Chang Ping, and Chang An all looked like they had not slept well, and their faces were haggard.

But the excitement in their eyes couldn't be concealed. It looked like they had spent the night in the cave where salt was boiled yesterday.

Ugh!
Yesterday, she had clearly gone through the process of making salt, but even when she saw the white salt in her shovel, she still insisted on staying there and staring at the other salt.

These people were so excited that Mei Qian didn't even notice. She remembered that when she was simply purifying salt on the boat, Li Baizhou was just surprised for a moment and didn't say much else.

The difference between people - Huh?

Suddenly, Mei Qian thought of her friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

I don’t know what is happening to Li Baizhou who got off the ship now...

Li Baizhou: Finally remembered me?

Mei Qian: Don’t talk like a resentful woman.
