I Really Didn’t Want to Become a System

The electronic sound was silent for a while, as if searching and scanning something, and after a while he replied, "A valid command, I haven't died for the time being, but I might die if I wake up."

Chen Chao frowned and asked, "What is his situation now? What was the cause of his death?"

"hunger."

Looking at the boy's swollen belly, he could clearly see the blue veins and blood vessels under the skin. The whole body has become thin and skinny, not half the weight of Huang Yan in his arms.

Thinking of the salty tribes outside, all of them were fat and fat, and thinking of their leaders wearing extremely precious linen clothes, and the two dozen stone basins, Chen Chao's heart once again filled with anger. .

He could not wait for a thunderstorm to drop this tribe to ashes.

But Chen Chao changed his mind, no, it would be too cheap for them. I want them to finally wake up, and then let them watch everything they have been taken away, and watch the tribes that were plundered by them surpass them one by one, and they will lose their future forever.

Now that the salt is gone, Chen Chao waited for Yu Ting to return to the Xian tribe to cook a pot of rice soup, put a few pieces of bacon and broken cabbage leaves. At his strong request just now, he used up some of the progress points tied to Huang Yan to exchange for a designated privilege.

And his choice is to wake up the boy.

But the little boy still didn't really wake up, because his current state is too bad, Chen Chao tried to feed him a little rice soup. Fortunately, although he hasn't really recovered yet, the little boy can already start swallowing subconsciously.

Chen Chao took the animal skin off again and wrapped it around the little boy. Because he was worried about being alone, and considering that it was best to feed him some rice soup every once in a while, he put the little boy again. Brought back the salt mine.

So Chen Chao took care of the little boy while picking salt.

In fact, the extracted salt cannot be eaten directly, and it has to be finely processed. Fine processing is no longer possible now, but it is okay to steam it and do a preliminary extraction.

In fact, the salt in this place should be called mine salt. Chen Chao observed that the salt mines were mainly salt rocks (salt rocks) produced in shallow landmarks, about the size of a fist, and accompanied by natural brine underground.

The raw material sources of salt can be divided into four categories: sea salt, lake salt, well salt and mineral salt. The salt made from seawater as a raw material is called "sea salt"; the salt made by mining modern salt lake mines is called "lake salt";

The salt produced by sinking shallow ground or underground natural brine processing is called "well salt"; the salt produced by mining ancient rock salt deposits is called "mineral salt". Because rock salt deposits sometimes coexist with natural brine salt mines, and the advent of the drilling water solution method for mining rock salt deposits, there is a collective name of "well salt" and "mineral salt"-"well salt", or generally called "mineral salt" .

The salt mine of the Xian tribe is one of the mine salt, but for the convenience of memory, it is still called the salt mine.

Don't look at Chen Chao's making a lot of them in a short while, but if he will process them later, he may not be full of an animal skin bag.

The Xian tribe should not have mastered the method of fine processing of salt, because Chen Chao saw that they had large-grained salt stones or salt crystals in the animal skins, which were similar to a yellow-brown crystal.

In fact, the salt rock in this state cannot be eaten. The salt that has just been mined is actually poisonous. If you eat that salt, you can die of diarrhea.

The salt itself is not poisonous, and there is no problem with the accompanying organism brine. The ability to mine salt still depends on its accompanying organism brine. But its symbiosis mine also contains many toxic things, and the taste is extremely poor. In addition to salty, there are various strange flavors.

I don't know how the salty tribe endured it, but it seems that most of them are used to marinate bacon. It is not ruled out that because of this, some of the problematic areas are diluted.

Chen Chao looked at the little boy next to him, before he woke up, he fed him some rice soup, and he began to wonder how to turn the pile of things on the ground into refined salt, at least to make it directly edible.

In ancient times, sea salt, lake salt, and well salt were mostly made from bittern, or tormented with firewood, or exposed to the sun, and the water evaporates to obtain salt.

As for reaching the standards of modern society, it is basically impossible. At present, it depends on the tools at hand, but the extraction method of well salt is also mainly by boiling.

This time, Chen Chao plans to use the repeated crystallization method, first dissolving the mined coarse salt in water, and then filtering it to remove impurities. Evaporate and crystallize the water solution or boil it in a pot, and it will be ready later.

After checking the principle and general process, the rest is simple. Chen Chao spent several days processing the salt, and packed five animal skin bags.

After eating the bacon rice for several days, Chen Chao felt a little bored. At this time, he missed the tribe's fresh fish and wild pork stewed chestnut soup.

Now that I have the salt I brought back, I think the taste can be improved. And I’ve been out for so many days, I don’t know how well the animal skins in the tribe are made, have Yuan noticed the problem of water leakage in the pond.

I don't know how the pottery pot is burning. If there is a broken pottery pot, I hope that One-Eyed will not be too sad. Rabbit House No. 2 should also be able to live in. I hope that a certain old man will not occupy it. After all, people who live with a bunch of rabbits for a long time will really get sick.

And the caves are so densely populated.

Has the grass rope army started work, and the women of the collection team continued to weave hemp nests and straw sandals.

At this moment, Chen Chao suddenly missed them a bit.

Looking at the processed salt, the province should have enough for the tribe this winter. What's more, there is also the bacon that I brought, which is also full of salt. The province can also eat for a period of time.

Chen Chao searched for vines suitable for weaving rattan baskets all over the mountains and weaving two dense rattan baskets. One is behind the front and the other is behind.

The one on the back was covered with animal skins wrapped in rice and salt, and the top was covered with some Chinese cabbage. When I was young, the cabbages were all wrapped in animal skins with mud. The rattan basket in front contained Chinese cabbage and the little boy.

Put the little boy in the rattan basket, and then fill him with cabbage and bacon. The pots and bowls were casually covered on the top of the boy's head, the pig urine bubble filled with water was tied to the waist with straw rope, and the stone axe was inserted on the other side of the waist.

The two spears were folded into short spears and inserted diagonally into the rattan basket behind. The dried meat brought from the tribe has been eaten early, and the bacon in the rattan baskets are now the specialty of the salty tribe.

The little boy was not awake yet, but when Chen Chao fed him rice soup, in addition to swallowing himself, he occasionally made some murmurs in his sleep.

His face was not as sallow as before. Chen Chao named him a name called Stone, mainly because he was rescued from the stone by himself, and also hoped that his life could be as tenacious as a stone, and the wind could not fall. , The rain can't move, and lives tenaciously in the world.

After checking and confirming that there was nothing else to bring, Chen Chao just carried two large rattan baskets back and forth and embarked on the journey home.
