Chapter 55 055 Cooperative Salt Production Plan
Hearing the girl ask her, Si Ye asked back: "Why, do you want it?"
Xia Tian choked and said, "No, I'm just curious, so I asked. These salts are very precious, I won't take them for nothing."
She can refine refined table salt. If there are enough raw materials, there will be an endless supply of refined salt, which is equivalent to having the "money" of this world. Isn't she the money printing machine of this era?
It is the hot season now, and supplies are not in short supply, but the surrounding tribes often hold barter trade fairs. If she has salt, she can exchange it for some things that are not convenient for her to get here.
"I dug these salt blocks from the Salt Mountain. There are strange beasts guarding there, so it's very dangerous for you to go there alone." Si Ye paused. "By the way, you know how to make snow salt, right? I'll provide you with the raw materials, and when you're done, you can give me half. How about that?"
The salt blocks on the salt mountain are guarded by strange beasts. Even if he goes, he can only bring back these. If Xia Tian goes, there is almost no chance of winning.
And from what the girl said, she seemed to want it, but she was different from other females and seemed not used to accepting gifts directly from males.
"You called this snow salt?" Xia Tian took out the salt granules sealed in a shell bowl and asked, "Have you seen me make it?"
Si Ye took a look and said, "I haven't seen you make salt, but I don't think you have any other way to get salt. But you use snow salt when cooking, so I guess you can make it."
He had only seen snow salt when he was very young. He heard that the production method was very complicated and that it was given as gifts for communication between city-states at that time.
Although the salt made by Xia Tian is not as delicate, it is still much more beautiful than the salt blocks dug directly from the mountains.
Such salt placed in such a remote place is top quality.
Xia Tian felt that the other party had spoken her mind, and she immediately agreed to Si Ye's terms. "No problem. I can make as many salt blocks as you give me."
After discussing the salt-making plan, Xia Tian replaced the herbs for Si Ye, and he quickly disappeared into the jungle.
She stayed in the camp to process the smoked meat. Just as she turned it over, she saw from afar the children of the tribe, surrounding a middle-aged woman with a big belly.
The woman's waist and abdomen looked like she was almost full-term, but her face was pale and sallow, and her lips were even slightly purple. It was probably because she was obviously out of breath after the long journey.
Xia Tian recognized her. This was the Aunt Meng that the children had mentioned before.
He was also the person closest to the original owner and these children when the original owner was still in the tribe.
They are like elders and sisters, and their relationship is very good.
When the original owner was kicked out, Aunt Meng was recuperating at home because she was almost full-term, and she didn't even get to see him for the last time before he passed away...
"Aunt Meng, why did you come in person?" Xia Tian guessed the original owner's memory of how she interacted with Aunt Meng and smiled kindly, "It's almost full term, right? The roads outside are hard to walk on. What if she falls?"
She turned to the children around her and pretended to be angry. "You too, the weather is so bad. How are you going to get home if it starts to rain heavily? And why didn't you tell me in advance if you had something to say? Why did you have to bring people here?"
The middle-aged woman subconsciously blocked the children's way, took Xia Tian's hand and gently comforted her, "Don't blame them, I came here on my own. I know how my body is doing, and I'm always... worried about you."
