Traveling through ancient times to flee from famine, take the time and space gate with you

Liuliu suddenly realized, "Oh, you are talking about the kind of salty stone. There is one on the mountain on the other side of the cliff. We will go to the mountain over there to lick the stone every once in a while, otherwise we will lose strength."

Jiayin doesn’t know where the salt is extracted from, but from what Liuliu said, it should be similar, right?

Walking over, the other person Youwei said: "Uncle, where do you get the salt? Can you only buy it in the town?"

Fang Youwei said: "No, if we can find salt stones, we can boil the salt ourselves. We have boiled the salt ourselves before."

Hearing the good news, he looked happy. Liuliu was talking about the salt stone just now. This is great!

He quickly asked: "Is there any salt stone in this mountain?"

Fang Youwei said uncertainly: "There should be. Wherever there are goats and wild donkeys, there should be salt rocks. Otherwise, they would not survive here, and they cannot live without salt."

The good news took advantage of the situation and said to the other party Youwei: "Uncle, how about you take Liuliu to look for it? It must know where the salt is."

Fang Youwei thought it made sense, so he didn't rest any longer and took Liuliu directly to find the salt stone.

Liuliu had already received Jiayin's instructions, so he took Fang Youwei directly to the direction of the salt rocks without him having to say anything.

They went out from the mountain col and went around to the back of the mountain col. All the way up, there was a large pool there. There were no trees around it and it was all stones. It was like a big stone pot filled with water.

Fang Youwei looked at the direction of the pool. This should be the source of the creek in the col.

Liuliu walked along the mountain wall next to the pool and stopped in front of a large gap in the middle of the rock wall.

The gap was six or seven feet wide. Fang Fang Youwei followed him, and Liuliu walked directly in.

Fang Youwei followed closely behind, and after walking for another half mile, the front suddenly became wider and they came to the other side of the rock wall.

The view suddenly changed to looking down, and they were actually standing on the cliff!

Below are lush woods, the surrounding mountains are clearly visible, and even the city walls surrounding the town can be faintly seen in the distance...

Fang Youwei was in a daze for a moment, suddenly feeling so small.

Before he could finish his emotion, Liuliu nudged him with his head.

Fang Youwei came back to his senses and looked at Liuliu, only to see Liuliu nodding his head on the ground next to him.

Fang Youwei looked over and saw a lot of rocks with white crystals scattered on the ground.

He was overjoyed. He didn't expect to find it so quickly. He took out the machete from his backpack, squatted down and picked up the thicker part of the crystal, pried it off, and put it into the cloth bag he had prepared in advance.

The salt will have to be boiled for a while before it can be used.

After prying for a while, I finally filled the small cloth bag, which only weighed about ten kilograms. It would be good to have half of it when I go back.

He decided to go back and cook these first. After all, the pork couldn't wait too long and it would spoil if it wasn't marinated. He could come back tomorrow.

When they returned with a bag of salt, Li was quite surprised. She didn't expect to come back so soon. Then when she saw the rough particles in the bag, she knew that they had just been knocked off the salt stone.

Mrs. Li quickly went into the house and took out the iron pot, put it on the fire pit, first crushed the salt in a wooden basin, poured in water and dissolved it, and then put it into the pot to boil.

While it was boiling, he said: "Now we have no way to make soy milk. We can't extract the milk. We can only mix it together first. The salt will be a bit bitter. Anyway, we are marinating pork. The taste should not be too obvious when eating. Do it.

When eating, we still have to use the salt we used before."

After it was boiled, he filtered it with cotton cloth to filter out the impurities, and then dried it in the sun. He repeated it again. Li felt that it was almost the same, at least it looked no different from ordinary salt.

It only took two days. Fortunately, the sun has been quite abundant these days, so I can dry whatever I want in the middle of the day.

Because I was afraid that the pork would spoil, I marinated the first batch of pork with salt. When the second batch came out, I smeared another layer on top of the pork so that it could be stored for a longer period of time.

The marinated meat is hung under the eaves to dry.

When the stone house was built, not only were two small windows left for ventilation, but an eave was also built, which consisted of a few sticks braided with twigs and covered with thatch, so that rain would not drift into the house.

The house happens to be facing the sun, so the meat can be dried by hanging it there for a few days.

After that, Fang Youwei went to get salt several times, and they boiled a lot of it for marinating the meat.
