Chapter 55: Dog Leash
Filtering water is very simple. This is not the first time that Sang Ning has done it. In the past, when he traveled far in the wild and had no water, he would cut a mineral water bottle to filter river water to drink.
She asked someone to find a half-meter-high clay pot and chisel a hole the size of a fist at the bottom.
The bottom layer is covered with cotton, which blocks the holes and acts as PP cotton, and can filter out the oil and impurities that were not filtered out before.
The second layer is charcoal, which acts as activated carbon. I just instructed the villagers to make it.
The smoldering method is used.
Dig a hole, cut a piece of wood as thick as your wrist into pieces, put it in the hole, cover it with hay, and then cover it with mud, leaving only one vent hole.
Dig out an air inlet on one side, stuff it with hay and light it. When the smoke from the exhaust hole on the top is large, gradually cover it with mud to make it smaller.
After two hours (or overnight if time permits), you will have a pile of burnt charcoal.
Charcoal has a strong adsorption capacity.
Its microporous structure can remove odors, heavy metals, bacteria, etc. in water.
This layer can be added more.
The third layer is made of sand found from the river.
The fourth layer is small gravel.
The top layer is paved with pebbles.
These are all to filter out suspended matter and impurities in the water.
The villagers all gathered around curiously.
"You've all memorized the steps. The filter material here needs to be replaced every few days, otherwise the effect will deteriorate."
Sang Ning asked someone to fetch some water and pour it in.
"Other materials are easy to deal with, but cotton is a bit expensive." The villagers clicked their tongues.
These cottons were taken out from the unworn cotton-padded clothes at Shi Shen's house. If they were to be replaced every few days, they would really be unable to afford it.
"It's okay. I still have some medicinal herbs. Let Dali go out and exchange them for more cotton." Lu Shishen said.
He was thinking about the old ginseng that Sang Ning had given him. It was the only thing worth some money, so he would sell it for whatever he could get.
Thinking of this, I felt a little grateful to Sang Ning.
I couldn't help but give him a look of gratitude.
I didn't see that not far away, the young man was staring at this side with a serious look.
"Jintang, Jintang?" he called.
Jintang didn't even need to be reminded this time, as he ran to Sang Ning to watch.
"Fourth brother, is there something wrong?"
Others also gathered there to watch, including the old lady and the two little girls, Jinxiu and Jinxin.
Only Xie Yurou was here looking at Huo Changan.
The boy lowered his eyes: "It's okay."
There was a cheer from the other side.
Clear water came out.
"It's delicious! It has no taste at all! It's even better than before!"
"It's amazing! We used to drink it like piss!"
"Miss Sang, you are so amazing!"
Huo Jingya also thought it tasted good after drinking it, but of course it was not as good as the water soaked with medical stone by her fourth sister-in-law!
Haha, these people are so ignorant.
Sang Ning was surrounded, admired and praised by people.
She is like a luminous body, illuminating more than one person.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother... fourth brother?"
Xie Yurou called out several times before Huo Changan woke up.
"Fourth brother, your sister-in-law gave you a pair of chicken wings. She said...chicken wings are delicious, so she left them just for you." Xie Yurou said to him with a smile.
Huo Changan's eyes lit up with joy for a moment, and his depressed mood suddenly brightened up a lot.
He saw that it was the roast chicken that a woman had just brought over.
She was right, chicken wings were indeed delicious, the meat was tender and not greasy, and he loved them the most.
Xie Yurou ate chicken breast.
Jintang came back and squatted under the tree roots with a shy look on his face, pursing his lips. No one knew what piece of meat he was holding in his hand, but there was quite a lot of it.
Huo Changan frowned. What's with that naughty kid's expression?
"Jintang, come here."
There was a guilty look in Jintang's eyes.
"Fourth Uncle, are you okay?"
He felt very sorry for his fourth uncle because his fourth aunt praised him as the cutest and most capable, and said he was more sensible than his fourth uncle.
Huo Changan narrowed his eyes.
He saw Jinxin and Jinxiu grinning and looking at him with shining eyes, each holding a chicken leg and running towards him.
"Jinxin, Jinxiu, come here."
"Fourth Uncle..."
"Why are you so happy?"
To be honest, this guy's skill at roasting chicken is really bad, the skin is even black. Jinxin Jinxiu has eaten a lot of delicious food made by their fourth aunt recently, and she really won't be so happy over a chicken leg.
"Tell the truth, children will wet the bed at night if they tell lies."
Jin Xin Jin Xiu hesitated for a long time before she whispered, "Fourth Uncle, don't tell anyone, this is a secret."
"Okay, Fourth Uncle won't tell."
"Fourth Aunt said, hehe, Jinxiu and I are little fairies. If we eat a little more and gain weight, she will like us even more."
"Now Fourth Aunt also likes us the most." Jinxiu retorted quietly, looking shy.
"She gave us her favorite chicken legs."
Huo Changan: "..."
Look at the two little guys, and then look at Jintang who is happily eating meat.
Think again of a similar situation in the past.
He understood.
This is really treating him as a child!!!
…
It’s time to leave the valley.
They also returned the bags that had been taken away by the villagers, and stuffed some eggs, flatbreads and other things into them.
Egg Sunning is really not needed.
There are quite a few eggs accumulated in the space.
But she needed to cover up, so she accepted it.
However, she called Lu Shishen and told him the method of making pepper oil.
Oil and salt are scarce in the village.
What they ate before was the badger oil extracted from the badgers killed by Feng Dali.
It was good, but not enough to eat.
But there are a lot of pepper on this mountain.
Now that there is a source of oil, and everyone can collect and make it themselves, it's more than a few eggs can replace.
Lu Shishen bowed deeply, tears in his eyes.
"Miss Sang, Lu Shishen will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of his life."
"If one day you need Shi Shen to do something, I will go through fire and water, even if it means death."
At first, not knowing Sang Ning's identity, he had some delusions.
Now, he knows that he is not qualified and does not deserve it.
He buried his admiration deep in his heart.
Gratitude and respect.
Lu Shishen bowed to Du Shan and Tian Kaiwu again.
"I also ask the two officials not to mind our previous disrespect and take good care of the Huo family. If I can get out one day, I will definitely thank you two."
Du Shan made a bitter face, holding the chain in his hand and waved his hand.
"Yes, yes, you don't have to tell me."
He is almost worried to death!
At that time, the villagers took away a bunch of chains, but now they have returned all broken! Only a single loop of shackles remains!
They used it as a leash for cattle and dogs!
Now that we are outside Liangzhou City, what can we do with it?
Will that black-faced county magistrate sentence them for dereliction of duty?
