Lin Feng nodded: "Yes! Watch carefully, Princess Hui'an is really capable! Just watch!"
Nalan Jinnian: "Princess Hui'an doesn't have much time to do the same thing over and over again, so be careful this time."
From now on, the salt farm will produce salt, and the secret recipe for making salt will be kept secret. He will be responsible for the entire operation of the salt farm.
Yan Han immediately straightened his back: "Yes! I will definitely look at it carefully and remember it in my mind."
Being able to make salt from sea water is simply a blessing to the people of the world!
There is so much sea water, why should they worry about Dongling Kingdom not paying tribute to them in salt in the future
Why worry about the salt merchants of Dongling Kingdom deliberately raising the price to sell salt to them
With their own large salt farm, they can be proud!
Yanhan has been dealing with the salt merchants of Dongling Kingdom for many years, so he is often angered by the arrogant attitude of those salt merchants in Dongling Kingdom, and his adrenaline surges.
Recently, Dongling Kingdom compensated Nalan Kingdom a lot of money and lost two cities.
Deliberately looking for all kinds of trouble and not selling salt to them.
He was so angry that he slapped them hard!
But you can’t! They all had to endure it.
Otherwise, they really wouldn’t sell salt to themselves!
Many people in Nalan Kingdom can no longer afford salt.
For this reason, he almost suffered internal injuries!
After all, there are not many salt mines in Nalan Kingdom.
This is the misery of living a life dependent on others.
right now! Once the salt farm is built and the first kilogram of salt is produced, he will use it to smash the faces of those Tangling salt merchants!
Fill their mouths with salt!
Damn it, more salt mines would be great!
So Yan Han took out his pen and ink, widened his eyes, looked at Wen Nuan, and felt a faint expectation in his heart, but of course he was also a little worried.
After all, everyone knows that there is salt in sea water, but this salt cannot be eaten, it is poisonous!
Throughout the ages, no one has been able to think of a way to separate the toxins in sea salt. Can Princess Hui'an really do it
Wen Wen poured the salt water he brought back into several beakers and began to boil the salt.
While boiling the salt, Wen Nuan observed the changes in the seawater in the beaker and took notes.
Seeing this, Yan Han made a registration aside.
Several people watched patiently as the seawater in the beaker gradually evaporated, crystallized slowly, and then got a fairly white brine salt.
From sunset to dark, it was finally cooked!
Looking at the white crystals slowly released from the beaker, Yan Han clenched his fists.
It’s done, it’s done!
"This sea salt is quite white." Lin Feng praised.
Wen Nuan dipped his finger into a little salt and tasted it, then waved to Yan Han: "Guanshi Yan, try it and remember the taste. This is the first time that the salt is cooked. It is poisonous and cannot be used!"
Manager Yan couldn't wait to step forward, dip his hands into some salt, taste it, and write down his feelings on paper.
"Now I'm starting to purify! It's to extract the poisonous things inside. This step is the key. It may take a few more attempts to get the best formula and refining method. You have to record it!"
"yes!"
Without measuring tools, everything can only be gained by doing it a few times to gain experience.
The warmth will evaporate the salt, leaving a portion behind.
Then it was weighed and divided into five small portions.
Then she began to dissolve one by one, filter, and use to remove those Ca and Mg ions...
She registered each one.
She was so busy until dawn that she successfully purified five-fifths of the brine salt and then steamed it.
Wen Nuan tasted them one by one, and then said to Nalan Jinnian and the others: "Come here, have a taste, and tell me which salt you think is the best."
The three of them still stepped forward, dipped their chopsticks in a little salt, and tasted it.
Wen Nuan looked at them with a smile and asked expectantly: "How is it? Which salt do you think is the purest?"
Nalan Jinnian's tongue was the pickiest. He pointed to the middle portion: "This portion has almost no bitter taste!"
Lin Feng nodded excitedly: "Yes, this one has no bitter taste at all. Princess Hui'an, is this considered a success?"
Yan Han also nodded: "The third and fourth portions are relatively pure, especially the third portion, which tastes better than the salt from Dongling Kingdom! Haha... I will take these salts tomorrow, Go and shut that salt merchant’s mouth! Tell him that I won’t buy his salt anymore.”
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Haha, don't! Let's wait until after the Longevity Festival! This workshop hasn't been built yet!"
Nuan Nuan nodded: "Then the third formula is the one for purifying sea salt! Strictly managing things, have you memorized it? If you haven't, I've copied some proportional formulas here. You can take them and copy them."
Manager Yan nodded: "Don't worry, Princess Hui'an, I have remembered it all!"
Wen Nuan stood up after hearing this: "Okay, you can refine it once and see if you can make it! The rest of the sea water will be left to you to practice."
"Okay!" Yan Han was already ready to make a move.
This is not difficult to copy for people with good memories.
What's more, Yan Han took detailed notes on every step.
He spent the entire day and night refining salt there!
After Nuan Nuan had a good sleep, he and Nalan Jinnian went to the second beach to have a look. It was indeed not as good as the one yesterday.
In the days that followed, Nuan Nuan and Nalan Jinnian visited many beaches.
The same beach that I saw for the first time is not suitable.
Whenever Wen Nuan goes to a sea area, he will take some sea water back and use evaporation method to make some salt to see how the quality is.
Finally, I discovered that there is a beach that can be used as a small salt field.
After choosing the place, Wen Nuan began to plan the salt farm.
Draw the design drawing of the salt field, and ask Yan Guanshi to recruit people, and start building the salt field and workshops.
When the recruitment information spread, the people in Changning Town were shocked!
"The imperial court wants to build a salt workshop on our beach? Use seawater to make salt? Can the salt made from seawater be eaten? It is poisonous!"
"The imperial court should have a solution! Otherwise, why build a workshop?"
"Oh my god! If this is really the case, it would be a great thing! There is so much sea water, and if it is made into salt in the future, the salt cannot continue to be sold so expensive! If the salt becomes cheaper, then what about the fish we pull up? , salt it and it won’t stink so quickly!”
"Oh, I don't care if the imperial court can produce non-poisonous sea salt! The important thing is that this workshop recruits people! And the wages are high! Ten taels of silver a month! Such wages can't be found even with a lantern. It's better than going out to sea to catch fish. You’ll make more money from fish! And you don’t have to worry about losing your life! Hurry up and sign up!”
"Yes! Sign up quickly! We are only recruiting two hundred people now. If we are too late, if we recruit others, we will have no chance!"
... ..
So everyone rushed over to sign up.
This time we were looking for people in several batches.
The first group were those who built salt pans and workshops.
The second group is the people who manage the salt fields, and they need training.
The third batch is for people who purify sea salt. This needs to be kept confidential, so the selection of this batch of people will be stricter!
Moreover, a confidentiality agreement must be signed. Anyone who leaks the purification method will do so intentionally or unintentionally! They all have to pay a lot of money, go to jail, and even be punished by the court!
Salt is a top priority for the country!
As soon as everyone heard that there would be a fine of silver, many people were deterred!
Only those who are truly sincere and firmly believe that they can sign up
Because the money is really much given!
