Shoufu's favored wife is sweet and sassy

Chapter 584, Coarse Salt Purification

In the end, the three of them were completely soaked, and only caught two fish and a few small crabs, which was far worse than what the fishermen had harvested. The fish went back to the inn.

It was already late after I went back to take a shower, and the cook on the stove had already closed, so Xiaoqing fulfilled her promise and cooked by herself, making a steamed sea fish, a crab roe tofu, and a braised prawn in oil. happy.

Xiaoqing asked Zhao Rui to take Xiaoan to bed first, and she would have to work in the kitchen for a while.

Zhao Rui carried Xiao An back to the room, and the two stared at each other.

Zhao Rui: "Sleep."

Xiao An: "No!"

Zhao Rui: "Your mother told you to sleep!"

Xiao An: "Coax!"

Zhao Rui: "A man doesn't need coaxing!"

Xiao An patted her belly: "Children!"

Zhao Rui took a deep breath: "How to coax?"

Xiao An scratched her head: "Papat, story, kiss, sing!"

Zhao Rui looked pensive, stretched out a finger, looked at Xiao An tenderly, and poked at the child's expectant face.

Xiao An didn't know where the big dung egg poked her, she just felt like she was floating in the clouds, and fell asleep on the bed with a thud.

Satisfied, Zhao Rui turned around to look for his wife.

Surprised to see Xiaoqing struggling to move a few big tanks over, and took out all the salt from the warehouse of Dongxing Building, a whole three big sacks!

"What are you doing? Pickled salted fish?"

Without raising her head, Xiaoqing asked him:
"Where's Xiao An?"

"Hmm... asleep."

Zhao Rui touched the tip of his nose.

This time Xiaoqing raised her head and looked at him in surprise:
"Why so fast? It takes a long time to coax each time?"

Zhao Rui felt a little guilty when she saw it, and argued:

"Well... this is friendship between men, you don't understand."

Xiaoqing rolled her eyes, I believe you a ghost!

But she couldn't care less about talking to Zhao Ruibai now, the two cauldrons on the stove were boiling water, she instructed Zhao Rui to help her pour a sack of salt into one of the cauldrons, so that the light brown coarse salt gradually melted.

"Come and help me stir."

Xiaoqing asked Zhao Rui to help her keep an eye on the pot, and stretched a thick and dense white silk cloth on the other cauldron. After the salt on Zhao Rui's side had dissolved a lot, she began to scoop out the salt-free salt from the top of the solution, and put it into the pot. In the stretched silk pot, some turbid salt water left khaki marks on the white silk.

"The salt from Dongxinglou is already the best salt. The salt used by the common people has more impurities."

While talking, Xiaoqing filtered all the dissolved saturated salt water with silk, and then added more water to the pot that was not completely dissolved, so that the coarse salt was completely dissolved.

The filtered salt water was added to the large pot, and the fire was vigorously boiled. One pot was not enough, so three large pots were set up to cook together. For a while, the kitchen was filled with clouds and mist. If someone came in, they might think they had arrived at the Heavenly Palace.

After burning for an hour and a half, all the water in the cauldron evaporated, leaving behind white salt grains, which were quite different from the light earthy ones before.

Zhao Rui sneered.

"You girl, you don't take anything else seriously, the most important thing is to work hard on eating."

Toss and sweat all over the night just to wash off the salt?
"Hey, where is this, just wait and see, my sister will make magic for you in a while!"

Xiaoqing giggled, revealing two small canine teeth, poking her head proudly, God knows how hard she endured the salt of this world, because there are no chemical reagents, the salt extracted directly from seawater contains a lot of impurities , and magnesium chloride, calcium sulfate, substances that are harmful to the human body, also taste bitter. This is what it means to say that salt is bitter and salty in the past.

I can bear it for daily use at home, but when I see a mountain of coarse salt, the desire to make money in my body dominates everything. These days of contemplation include this purely physical purification method.
