"Brother Ye!"

Seeing Ye Fan coming over, Wang Yu quickly stood up with a very respectful expression.

"Oh, I'll come over for a walk, you can go about your business!"

Ye Fan smiled slightly.

"OK."

Wang Yu stopped talking and continued to be his sawyer.

Ye Fan walked briskly through the woods.

The morning sunlight shines on the forest, creating all kinds of strange shadows, which is really beautiful.

"Um?"

A gray shadow flashed past Ye Fan's feet.

He looked carefully and saw that it was a squirrel.

This was an adult squirrel that looked like it should be the mother of the baby squirrels he had found in a tree earlier.

It was probably the sound of Wang Yu sawing the tree that alerted the squirrel family, and the mother squirrel came out of the tree hole to check the situation.

Seeing Ye Fan coming, the mother squirrel immediately hid in a bush.

After a while, probably feeling that there was no danger, the mother squirrel stuck her head out from the bushes and looked at Ye Fan with her big gray eyes.

"Haha, so cute!"

Ye Fan thought for a moment, took out a sausage from his body, and threw it into the bushes.

He had brought the sausage with him before going out yesterday morning. He had been busy smoking the meat since he came back last night and hadn't had time to take it down yet.

The mother squirrel seemed taken aback. After a long time, perhaps sensing Ye Fan's kindness, she had the courage to stretch out a paw from the bush and snatch the sausage away.

"Hey! It's delicious. It's made from wild pork."

Ye Fan smiled, walked out of the woods, and came to the edge of the pond outside the forest.

"The fathead fish seems to be recovering!"

Ye Fan has not come here to catch fish in the past ten days, and from time to time he collects some weeds to feed.

The number of fatheads seems to be higher than before.

Of course, this should be an illusion. After all, the growth cycle of fish cannot be so fast.

"Well, are there any shrimps in here?"

Inadvertently, Ye Fan noticed that a fat-headed fish seemed to have something in its mouth.

He leaned down and took a closer look, only to realize that it seemed to be a shrimp leg.

Ye Fan's heart moved and he searched around the pond.

This time, he really found a clue.

In the middle of the pond, near the edge, several large rocks lay quietly in the water.

There seemed to be some kind of tiny creature swimming in the gaps between the stones.

Ye Fan searched carefully and found a few small shrimps swimming happily.

"Unfortunately, the number is too small."

Perhaps it was because there were too many fathead fish and not much of the shrimp was left.

Ye Fan didn't intend to kill them all and let these weak creatures go.

He shook his head and turned to leave.

After returning to the grove, Ye Fan saw the mother squirrel again.

This little creature was currently holding a small stone and kept sticking out its tongue to lick it. Ye Fan's heart moved.

"Is there salt on this stone?"

An idea came to Ye Fan's mind.

He walked towards the mother squirrel and wanted to take a closer look.

As a result, the mother squirrel put down the stone and ran away as fast as possible.

Ye Fan picked up the stone and looked at it carefully.

I saw a layer of extremely fine white crystals on the stone.

"Is it possible that there really is rock salt here?"

Ye Fan, with the mentality of giving it a try, started looking for the location where the mother squirrel had been moving just now.

Ten minutes later, Ye Fan came to the edge of the grove, in front of a stone wall.

He peeled off the soil on the surface of the stone wall, and soon, a stone with a large amount of white crystals appeared in front of him.

"It looks like it could be salt!"

Ye Fan was thoughtful.

He continued to dig up more dirt and found a large number of these stones.

Ye Fan tried to lick the crystal of one of the stones gently.

"It's salt!"

Ye Fan was finally sure that this was salt.

Unexpectedly, the mother squirrel was a big help and solved the problem that had troubled Ye Fan for several days.

"Ha ha."

Ye Fan found more such stones and brought them back to the camp.

"Brother Ye, what are you doing with these stones?"

An Xiaoya was a little confused when she saw Ye Fan's behavior.

"This is rock salt, and we can make table salt from it."

"Salt? Oh, that's so good!"

An Xiaoya was very happy.

"I'll go get some more and start refining them after we finish breakfast."

"Uh-huh."

More than half an hour later, after eating breakfast, Ye Fan began to prepare coarse salt.

"First break these rocks containing rock salt, then boil them in a clay pot to let the salt dissolve in the hot water."

"After that, add water and cook until salt crystals form."

After Ye Fan finished speaking, he began to knock stones.

Han Ruying and An Xiaoya both came over to help.

The three of them worked together to smash the rocks Ye Fan brought back into powder.

After several rounds of cooking, the three finally saw white coarse salt particles.

A full half bowl of coarse salt was enough for them to eat for a long time.

"Is this okay? Brother Ye."

An Xiaoya tried to pick up a small piece of granules and took a taste.

Sure enough, it tastes almost the same as the salt you usually eat.

"Change to a cleaner clay pot and cook it twice more!"

Ye Fan was a little worried that there were other harmful impurities mixed in the salt and touched his nose.

"Then let me do it!"

An Xiaoya volunteered and took over the job.
