The two of them didn't waste any more time.
The jellyfish orc came out of the water at some point. He stood beside the sea snake orc and whispered to him.
He watched the entire process of Meng Yuqing making salt, and after returning, he repeated the entire process.
They also tried to boil it several times themselves and were successful every time. When they were trading a few days ago, they put out all the salt they boiled.
The process of boiling salt is a bit boring, and most of the time is spent waiting for the water to dry up and crystals to precipitate.
The only troublesome thing is filtering, and the other is to be careful not to boil the sea water completely dry.
By filtering it several times, you will get relatively purer salt.
Although the whole process was boring, no one made a sound.
Even if someone makes a noise while moving around, it will attract the attention of others.
While Meng Yuqing was cooking, he would occasionally explain it to them.
During the filtration process, Meng Yuqing specifically told them, "If the water source you can find in the wild is extremely dirty, you can also use this method to make the water clean.
Although it is okay for you orcs to drink dirty water, it is not okay if you are carrying a sub-beast. It will easily make the sub-beast feel uncomfortable in the stomach or even sick.
If possible, it is best to boil clean water before drinking it. If you are afraid of the heat, just let it cool down.
The main thing is to heat the water. Drinking boiled water will reduce the risk of getting sick, just like eating cooked food."
Many people nodded subconsciously when they heard him say this.
After three boils and two filtrations, the salt in the pottery jar is visibly much cleaner.
Meng Yuqing and the sea snake orc poured the salt from the clay pot into the stone bowl for others to see.
"This is sea salt, but everyone must remember to boil it at least twice and filter it once before eating it. Also, you must not boil it dry. Only in this way can you get useful salt, otherwise it will be a waste of effort." Meng Yuqing was not prepared to explain too much chemistry to them.
Even if I explained it to them, they wouldn't understand, so I just told them simply and rudely that they had to do this in order to get useful salt.
Then he picked up a filter and a hairless animal skin that served as gauze. "This thing is called a filter. It can remove some things that are not salt to prevent us from accidentally eating them, such as small sand and small stones. The production method is also very simple. All you need is a wooden barrel and stones.
Everyone should have access to this animal hide. Just poke some small holes like this on it. Remember, filtering is also necessary, otherwise the salt you make will be useless."
After explaining some precautions, Meng Yuqing and the sea snake orc put the salt they had boiled into a large stone bowl. An evolved orc from the Blue Water Tribe then took it and walked into the crowd, randomly selecting people to taste it.
The people who were chosen were from both large and small tribes. Those from the larger tribes were fine. They just dipped a little and put it in their mouths, and then their facial features wrinkled because of the saltiness.
After taking two sips of water, he nodded to the people around him and said, "It's salt. Very salty, saltier than salt rock. It should be more edible than salt rock."
When the small tribe that was chosen saw the people from the Blue Water Tribe walking up to them, they became a little terrified. They looked at each other, and no one dared to offend others.
Finally, the young orc who had complained couldn't stand it anymore. He walked up to the Blue Water Tribe orc holding the salt and asked, "If they don't want to eat it, can I have it? Just a small bite, and I can exchange it for plants from our tribe."
The orcs from the Blue Water Tribe didn't care who was trying the food. When they heard him say that, they handed the bowl to him and said, "It's a tasting. I won't charge anything, but you can only eat a little."
"Okay." The young orc responded, wiped his hands on his animal skin skirt to remove the dust, then reached into the stone bowl, dipped a little and ate it.
Although his face was wrinkled from the saltiness, his eyes were sparkling.
"It's salt, it's salty. This method makes salt. What they said is true. We will all have a way to make salt in the future, and we won't have to live without salt anymore." He took his hand out of his mouth and wiped it on his animal skin skirt.
His words resonated more with people than those of the people in the big tribe. The people in the big tribe never worried about not being able to exchange for salt, but only worried about how much they could exchange for or how much they had to use to exchange.
For many small tribes, salt is a luxury. In this scene, nothing can make them more excited than the words "We will no longer have to live without salt."
Many people looked at Meng Yuqing and the sea snake orc with red eyes and gratitude.
Even some of the more sentimental beastmen covered their mouths and began to cry, while others squatted on the ground, buried their heads in their knees, and whispered, "Thank you, thank you."
Meng Yuqing tilted his head and listened to these voices, feeling indescribably complicated.
He lived in a good era in the modern world. Although his family was not rich, they never had to worry about food and clothing. Everyone had something they could own, and the family would never lack him.
After arriving at the Beast World Continent, he joined the Qingshan Tribe, which was considered a fairly powerful tribe in the south. He never lacked food, and they even had a salt mine, so he never had to worry about salt.
And he will always be protected by Xuan, and may even get more than others.
The existence of the system and the knowledge he learned in modern times also allowed him to help the Qingshan tribe survive a winter with sufficient food.
Whether in modern times or in the Beast World, he is considered a very lucky man and has never experienced a truly hard life.
