Chapter 145 Salt Making
After Tang Yue changed direction, she did not rush into the sea to fish. She planned to find an island first. The island should not be too big, so she would try to find a big one with trees on it. This should be a good place, right?
After searching for about an hour, I finally saw a big island. I rowed the boat over there and tied the boat to the island with a rope. Then I found a good place on the island, took out a shovel from the space, and directly dug a deep pit.
Tang Yue felt that it was a bit disrespectful to put it directly into the pit, so she first used a piece of meat to wrap the bones, then covered them with a layer of oil, and then put the bones into the pit. To be honest, my heart was pounding when I was wrapping them for him. It felt like she was only one meter tall, so she should be a girl, and her skeleton was not very big. Of course, these were all wild guesses.
After refilling the soil, I made a mound for him. Because I didn't know his name, I didn't put a name tag on it. I just put a plate of apples and a plate of steamed buns on the side and lit three incense sticks for him.
After everything was done, I felt relieved. Even if I took his things, I wouldn't feel guilty.
Tang Yue returned to the boat, tied a rope around her waist, and went into the space to tidy up. She had not entered the space since she returned home yesterday.
I came to the space and put the kelp I collected yesterday in the second room. 100 square meters is enough space. I put all the kelp in it and turned it over when I have time in the afternoon. I think it should be dried in the sun at night. After all, with such a high temperature, a person will become a dried corpse if he stays in there for less than a day.
Come to the fourth room, set up to make brown sugar from sugar cane, give permission to let him keep doing it until all the sugar cane in the warehouse is used up.
Then we come to the fifth room and set up the making of steamed buns. We need 1,000 each of vegetable and meat buns, brown sugar buns, cornmeal buns, and slightly sweet white buns, 2,000 of each. We'll make these first, and then make some side dishes after these are done.
After Tang Yue set up all the machines inside, she left the space. She was going to get some more seafood today!
When Tang Yue came up to eat at noon, there were a lot of kelp and fish in the space, as well as a lot of squid, claw fish and the like. The most important thing was that I had been thinking about the grouper all morning, and I didn't expect there were so many here. As long as they were over one kilogram, I would collect them. If they were less than one kilogram, I would let them grow more!
I also collected more than ten lobsters, and picked up the big sea cucumbers, which weighed 20 to 30 kilograms. The only thing I didn't see was abalone, but there was none in this direction. Next time when I look for a place, I will use my mental power to check first. If there are a lot of good things in the sea, then go! Save time.
After lunch, I rowed the boat back for half an hour. Since I was not going to go out to sea in the afternoon, I planned to enjoy some fishing and make some side dishes for Zhao Shengrui with the machine. I didn't want him to eat steamed buns!
Tang Yue used the machine to make a lot of beef jerky and pork jerky, 200 kilograms at a time, and each time took about half an hour. The longer the food was kept, the faster it would take to use.
I feel like it might be too high-profile to fish while waiting for the fish to be done, so I'll give them five pounds each, and add a little more beef sauce, mushroom sauce, chili sauce, and the like.
Pack up the things you want to take home first. Put the fish into two sacks like I did yesterday, put out two sacks of kelp, put out one sack of lobsters and sea cucumbers, and put one sack of grouper to take home.
Suddenly I remembered that I wanted to try making sea salt yesterday, so I quickly stopped making sugarcane brown sugar and put in two buckets to try making sea salt. Unexpectedly, it showed two minutes. It seems that this method can be used.
Tang Yue stretched her hand into the sea and collected some more seawater into the space. After seeing the salt produced and what it looked like, she would decide whether to get more.
The two minutes passed quickly, and I saw sea salt coming out of the exit. I didn't expect that it was actually snow-white refined salt. Although it was only about two taels, it didn't look like much, but it was good for nothing.
Think about this sea of seawater, and I don't know how much to release at a time, so I plan to do an experiment to see how much the machine can collect at the entrance. I use my mind to control the seawater to release in, and it feels like there is no pause. When it has collected almost ten tons of seawater, the machine turns on a red light to indicate that it can't release any more. I quickly control it with my mind to stop. Ten tons is not a small number.
I pressed the switch, and it showed that it would take an hour to complete the processing. One hour did not count. I was lucky enough to get refined salt, so I quickly set up the exit to store it in the warehouse. Then I wouldn't have to keep collecting it myself.
They came to the processing workshop in the next room and prepared all the things. They were put into glass jars. As for the steamed buns and the like, they could just give them to Zhao Shengrui when the time came. Anyway, the inside of the storage ring was not dirty.
Coming out of the space, Tang Yue fished while waiting for the salt to be ready. This machine is very smart. It can be set for refined salt and coarse salt. After the ten tons of seawater are purified, another ten tons of purified coarse salt will be added. She plans to prepare all the salt she will need in her life before the New Year.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon. Tang Yue packed up the things on the boat and prepared to go back. She had a great harvest this afternoon, not seafood, but salt. Ten tons of seawater can produce one ton of refined salt. Two tons of refined salt were extracted this afternoon, and the rest was coarse salt. Ten tons of seawater can produce two tons of coarse salt. Now there are more than 10 tons of coarse salt in the warehouse.
Tang Yue felt that it was a bit too much, but maybe it was because of high technology, otherwise how could there be so much salt? She would just get a little more next time, as long as she had enough for herself. She didn't plan to sell it on the black market. It seemed that private trading of salt was strictly prohibited. Anyway, she didn't mind making that little bit of money.
It was getting late, and if he didn’t go back, Zhao Shengrui would find him, so he found the right direction and rowed back.
Before we went out, we rowed slowly because we were looking for an island. When we went back, we rowed faster because we had nothing else to do. It took less than half an hour to reach the shore. After tying the rope, picking up the sacks, we headed towards home.
Sure enough, Tang Yue's guess was correct. Halfway through the journey, she ran into Zhao Shengrui again, who was walking towards her hurriedly from a distance.
"Brother Shengrui, why are you here to pick me up again? Didn't I tell you not to pick me up? The stuff isn't that heavy."
Zhao Shengrui took the things his wife had brought with her, but unfortunately his wife only wanted him to take two bags, fearing that he would get tired carrying more. "I thought that since I had nothing to do at home and the babies were asleep, I came to pick you up, fearing that you would be scared if you came back too late."
Tang Yue knew that this was just an excuse for him. He was clearly worried about her, but he just couldn't say it out loud. Anyway, it was fine as long as she understood.
