That morning.

Wolf King and Sheep Cloud both went out hunting with the hunting team.

The windy season is just around the corner, so stockpiling food is of utmost importance.

After breakfast in the sweltering summer, I wandered aimlessly around the yard.

Suddenly remembering the large vat of salt in her storage space, her eyes lit up.

Let's purify salt today!

She bought the salt to smoke cured meat, and she needed to refine the salt before the hunting party returned.

In the height of summer, she planned to conduct the exercise in a spatial dimension, where she would only need to use her mental energy, not her physical strength.

She can't do such strenuous physical labor.

In the height of summer, he put the flint and the neatly arranged firewood in the yard into his space, and finally put the large pot inside.

She was stunned when she brought the things in—there was no stove!

It still has to be done outside.

Fortunately, moving things was not difficult; with a wave of his hand, everything appeared in the yard.

She put the pot on the stove, added firewood, and started a fire.

Add salt to the pot, then add water and stir to make salt water.

Add the prepared wood ash and stir until sediment forms.

Use the animal hides from last time to filter the brine, remove the impurities, and leave clean brine.

Add firewood and bring the brine to a boil over a large fire. When only one-tenth of the brine remains, filter it again with clean animal hide.

Then it is burned dry to obtain relatively clean salt water crystals.

In the sweltering summer heat, a layer of light yellow crystals appeared at the bottom of the pot, and I smiled with satisfaction.

"Are you home in the middle of summer?"

A familiar voice came from outside the gate. When Shengxia opened the gate, she saw that it was the chief bringing meat with several males.

During the height of summer, both partners went out hunting, and the chief specially arranged for someone to deliver fresh meat to her every day.

"Chief, why did you come in person today? You bring me meat every day, thank you so much." Sheng Xia said with a smile.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all." The chief looked at Sheng Xia with a kind expression, becoming more and more satisfied with her.

The female had changed so much that he couldn't believe it; this was the same dirty, lazy, and annoying Sheng Xia from before.

The chief was filled with excitement as he thought about the vast expanse of wheat on the back mountain; he needed to personally oversee the matter to feel at ease.

He grinned from ear to ear: "It's the height of summer, isn't the wheat on the back hill ripe? When are you going to go check and see if it's ready for harvest?"

The wheat in the Midsummer Space is ripe and ready to be harvested at any time, and the wheat on the back mountain should be almost ready as well.

With a smile, she readily agreed: "I'm refining salt right now, I'll come over and check on it when I'm done."

Refining salt?

It was another language the chief couldn't understand.

His keen intuition told him that Sheng Xia was getting things ready and he couldn't miss this opportunity.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "In the height of summer... is this for refining salt?"

Upon hearing the chief's tone, Shengxia knew that he was once again trying to improve the tribe's welfare.

She didn't hold back, and led the chief and several males directly to the pot.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons: "Chief, look, I'm refining salt. The sea salt we bought is bitter and astringent if we eat it directly."

“Long-term consumption will harm the orcs’ bodies. This kind of refining makes the salt tasteless and beneficial to their health.”

The chief's eyes grew brighter as he listened.

He had tried various methods to address the bitterness of salt, but all his efforts were in vain, leaving him with no choice but to continue eating it this way.

Now that there's a way to purify salt into odorless fine salt during the height of summer, this is great news for the tribe!

He was overjoyed, his solemn face beaming with pride, and his eyes and brows revealing undisguised happiness.

"Shengxia, you've been a huge help to the tribe!"

"Haha, having you is our blessing. May I have the beast come and learn this refining method?"

His booming voice revealed his overwhelming joy and excitement.

Sheng Xia smiled gently, happy to have such a chief who cares about the people.

She smiled slightly: "Great! I happen to have a lot of salt that needs to be purified. Could you please arrange for a few beasts to come over? I'll teach them step by step."

Shengxia has always liked mutually beneficial and win-win situations, and she was just worried that she couldn't handle so much salt by herself.

The chief acted quickly, and soon he summoned two orcs from each household, and a large group of them surrounded Shengxia's house.

She sighed again, saying that it was great to have a big yard without neighbors, as there was room for so many people to stand.

The chief requisitioned several large pots and built three temporary stoves at the entrance of the courtyard in the height of summer.

"You few, listen to Shengxia's command. The rest of you, keep your eyes peeled and learn carefully." With the chief's order, they busied themselves in an orderly fashion.

With many animals comes great strength; some fetch water, some stir, and some filter.

The first batch of salt was brought out shortly afterward.

In the height of summer, I pinched a handful of salt water crystals that hadn't cooled completely.

The snow-white salt blocks looked extremely clean. One bite, and the intense saltiness filled my mouth, with no unpleasant taste!

With Sheng Xia's permission, the chief also took a bite, his eyes gleaming as he looked at her: "Is it done?"

"Yes, it's done!" Sheng Xia said with a smile.

Everyone cheered and quickened their pace. The summer family had plenty of salt, and even more beasts.

All the salt was purified in one morning.

In the end, we harvested more than half a vat of snow-white fine salt, with about one-tenth of it containing impurities, which was much better than expected.

The chief directed the males to clean up Shengxia's house, dismantle the makeshift stove, and everything returned to normal.

Finally, with a wave of his hand, he told everyone to go home and refine salt themselves.

This kind of thing can't be forced. Those who are willing to refine can do so, and for those who aren't, the chief can fulfill his responsibility by teaching them.

Of course, no beast would be unwilling to accept such a good thing.
