"Making salt?" The little mermaid repeated Ji Yu's words in confusion.
Ji Yu nodded and confirmed again: "Yes! It is salt making."
The little mermaid asked calmly, "What is salt making and how do you make salt? Isn't salt a gift from the gods?"
The question raised by the little mermaid was indeed tricky. After all, in the minds of the ancient orcs, salt was a gift from God, and everything in this forest was a gift from God.
Ji Yu still wanted to try his best to explain to the mermaid about the issue of salt production, which might be more convincing.
"First of all, salt is not a gift from the gods. It already exists in the sea. What we need to do is to extract the salt from the sea."
After hearing Ji Yu's explanation, the two older mermaids showed a look of panic. On the contrary, the younger mermaid listened very seriously.
The little mermaid also raised a question: "Will the salt in the sea be used up? I'm afraid of losing my home."
Ji Yu shook his head: "Of course not, the salt we use is only one hundred thousandth of the salt in the sea."
"Then you provide me with the method of making salt. What do we need to provide you with?"
Ji Yu suddenly felt that doing business with smart people was really smooth.
"I need you to provide salt for our tribe. A small amount is free, and we will also exchange a large amount with meat."
The little mermaid nodded happily: "My name is Wei Lan, we will be friends from now on."
Mermaids are different from other orcs in that they have the right to be named at birth.
But when Ji Yu heard this name, he forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
It’s not for any other reason, it’s just because Wei Lan is also one of the heroine’s concubines, and he is worried that the two sides will become enemies in the future.
So Ji Yu added: "Don't ruin our agreement because of a woman."
"good!"
Then Ji Yu began to introduce to the little mermaid two methods of making coarse salt.
The first is to boil the sea to obtain salt: use firewood to boil sea water, let the water evaporate, and leave the salt.
The second method is to extract salt by wind and sun: taking advantage of natural conditions, pouring seawater into shallows or ponds, letting it be exposed to wind and sun, and then scraping off the salt after the water evaporates.
After hearing Ji Yu's method, the little mermaid showed an expression of disbelief on her face.
"Is it possible to make salt this easily?"
Ji Yu nodded. After all, it was very simple to extract coarse salt. But if it was to extract fine salt, it would be difficult with the current tools.
"Thank you very much, benefactor. If I can get salt using this method after returning safely this time, I will definitely return to the forest to give you salt."
Compared to the giant mermaid who was confused and listened nearby, Wei Lan, although younger, was smarter and more stable than the two adults.
He is indeed the male protagonist who ranks first in both looks and IQ. He is much smarter than the other orcs who are all muscle.
Ji Yu took out all the dried meat from the package and asked, "Is this enough food?"
Wei Lan said with some embarrassment: "This is only enough for us to eat for two days. It will probably take us three days to walk back from the forest. If we add today, I'm afraid this food will not be enough."
"Ouch." Ji Yu shouted.
Soon, the few wolves that came with Ji Yu emerged from the crowd.
"Wolf King."
Ji Yu looked at the hands of several people and saw that each of them was holding a small bag of salt.
"Do you have any dried meat?"
Each of the five people took out some of the remaining dried meat, and Ji Yu took it and handed it all to the little mermaid.
"Lord Wolf King, this is..." Several people did not dare to question Ji Yu's decision, but were still puzzled by Ji Yu's action.
"I was not cheated. This is the capital for me to do business with him."
As soon as Ji Yu finished his explanation, the wolves fell silent.
The little mermaid smiled and curved her eyes. She asked jokingly, "Lord Wolf King, aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
Ji Yu pointed at the person behind him and said threateningly: "If you lie to me, I will take my people to the seaside."
The little mermaid quickly stopped smiling and said sincerely, "Then I will go directly to the tribe to look for you next time!"
"good."
Ji Yu turned around and took the fox, ready to go back with his tribesmen.
The older werewolf was afraid that Ji Yu was being cheated, so he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of business did the Wolf King and the mermaid do?"
Ji Yu explained casually, "I reserved the salt for the next time in advance. I paid for the meat first and then received the salt."
The werewolves breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried that the Wolf King would be attracted by the beauty of the mermaid and give her free jerky!
Although most of the food in the tribe was hunted by the wolf king, sea orcs were not a good match after all, and even if they wanted to buy orcs, they would not choose sea orcs.
As the group left the ape tribe, they ran into a little wild cat.
Ji Yu took a closer look. Oh wow, he said, why does it look familiar? Isn't this the cat that Hook was holding today?
The pure white cat turned into a human form, and there seemed to be a vast ocean hidden in its bright blue eyes.
It was the first time that Ji Yu saw such beautiful eyes. They were much prettier than the rabbit’s red eyeballs.
"Lord Wolf King." The kitten walked with weak cat steps and pounced on Ji Yu without anyone noticing.
Ji Yu quickly dodged, but seeing that Ji Yu had no consciousness to hold on to him, the kitten swayed and then steady itself.
"I am sixteen years old, and I want to go back to the tribe with Lord Wolf King."
When Xiaomaoer said this, he looked up at Ji Yu no less than ten times.
But Ji Yu didn't even look at her, and just said calmly: "I don't like eating cat meat."
The kitten's expression became very ugly, and the corners of his mouth twitched again and again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and replied: "What I mean is that I want to go back to the tribe with Lord Wolf King and reproduce."
The little fox sharpened its not-so-sharp teeth at the cat, whining angrily, "Another wild woman who wants to snatch the wolf king from the fox."
Ji Yu's expression did not change at all, and he was unmoved by the sexy pose of the cat in front of him.
“I don’t like wild cats.”
A few words shattered all the kitten's fantasies.
In fact, she had heard recently that the Wolf King liked to keep pets and he got a little fox and couldn't let it go.
She thought that if she could follow the Wolf King, it would definitely be much better than following that madman Hu Qiang.
But she really didn't expect that the Wolf King looked down on her at all and had no interest in her charming figure.
The cat suddenly felt a little shocked.
"What about this?" After saying this, the cat immediately turned back into its original form.
Ji Yu's tone was still cold: "I only like to raise foxes. I am not interested in animals other than foxes."
"Besides, the entire forest knows that the cat tribe lives with the tiger tribe, and intermarriage is very common. Why would I let someone who might be a spy stay with me?"
After Ji Yu finished speaking, he ignored the little kitten that was left alone.
He transformed directly into a beast and ran towards the tribe with his people.
