Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 16 is salty!

On the edge of the beach, pools of different sizes were dug by the serfs.

But this time, Old Ford didn't stop him, because a vague idea came to his mind... maybe his master's method of drying salt is really useful.

Of course, the most important reason is that blocking is of no use.

Almost half of the serfs who were originally responsible for boiling salt were transferred to speed up the excavation of the salt pond.

Fortunately, several salt ponds have been excavated, allowing Bruno to conduct experiments as soon as possible.

After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Although Bruno has learned the steps of making salt from seawater, he only wrote on the test paper. If he really started to do it, he was actually a little scared.

The salt pond that seawater enters first is the evaporation pond. Seawater must be concentrated in the evaporation pond to increase the concentration of saltwater. In this step, people often add some salt that has been prepared long ago to make the concentration of saltwater reach saturation as soon as possible. .

Therefore, when Bruno threw a lot of salt into the salt pond, the servants and serfs who were watching felt a twitch in their hearts. This was too... a waste...

Old Ford's complexion became a little not so good. If this fails... it will be a big loss. After all, price-to-platinum is not just talk!

When the salt water concentration reached saturation, Bruno asked someone to open a simple gate on the side of the salt pond, and the saturated salt water flowed out of the gate and poured into the crystallization pond on the side.

Seawater salting is a long process, so the brine entering the crystallization pond has to wait for several days before a large amount of crystals can be concentrated.

Not in a hurry to return to the city in a short time, Bruno stayed briefly in a small coastal village, waiting for the brine to crystallize.

Bruno had read the letter sent by Shabby and was satisfied with Shabby's efficiency, so he wrote a letter to praise him and asked the chef in the castle to prepare his favorite black pudding for Shabby.

Sabi must be grateful when he sees the black pudding, Bruno thought in his heart.

Bruno has been at the beach for several days. He was first busy picking seaweeds, then taking Lópida out to sea for fishing, and then supervising the serfs to build salt ponds. Therefore, it is not until now that he is really free.

Now that he had free time, Bruno naturally turned his attention to eating. After all, the delicious food of the previous life was not something that could be easily forgotten.

Add water to the earthen pot, add freshly picked seaweed and a few eggs, and finally sprinkle some salt, and a delicious pot of seaweed and egg drop soup is completed.

Some villagers feel that seaweed is not reliable. After all, it looks messy and dirty when it is first picked. But since the Earl has used it for cooking, it must be no problem.

It happened that Luobida came over, and Bruno scooped a bowl for him himself and brought it to him. This moved Luobida very much.

He was just a servant... The Earl actually served himself a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup. For a moment, Luobida suddenly felt like a man would die for his confidant...

"Master, you can eat too..." Luobida said with a trembling voice, holding back the tears in his eyes.

"No, you eat first." Bruno said with a smile, "After all, it was you who suggested coming to the beach to look for food. You are the number one contributor..."

When Luobida heard this, you can imagine the excitement in his heart. He took the bowl and drank it in one gulp without blowing: "Hiss... it's... a bit... a bit hot..."

Seeing that Lópida had already drank it, Bruno was not in a hurry to drink it, but he was patient and filled another bowl for Lópida.

"If it tastes good, drink more."

Luobida was not polite, he didn't care about burning his mouth, and he was stuffy again.

After all, my master didn’t even drink the fresh seaweed and egg drop soup, so he served it to himself. When had he ever received such a favor? He... was the person his master trusted the most!

Bowl after bowl, until Luobida drank most of the pot of soup and was almost unable to walk, Bruno felt relieved and served himself a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.

After all, Luobida is still alive and kicking after drinking so many bowls, which at least proves that the seaweed in this world is still the same seaweed, not poisonous and edible!

It’s no wonder that Bruno thinks too much. There are so many seaweeds on the beach, but the fishermen on the beach are still hungry. If no one tries to take a few bites first, Bruno still feels a little uneasy.

Dark seaweed paired with light-colored egg yolks is not very delicious, but the taste is delicious enough. Didn’t you see that the children watching next to you were crying?

Bruno took a small bite. It tasted good, but it was no different from the seaweed on earth.

On the other side, grilled fish is also ready.

The grilled fish are all newly caught and extremely fresh.

Ever since Bruno taught the fishermen a brand-new fishing method, the fishermen, who had been hungry for a long time, felt like they had been given a shot of chicken blood. They fished in shifts day and night, and harvested a lot.

There is no need to worry about overfishing, because there are so many fish in this vast ocean, and with so few people, it is difficult to flatten the growth curve of fish.

What's more, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The technological level of this world lags far behind that of the earth. A fist can fit through the gaps in the fishing nets. Not only are smaller fish impossible to catch, but even smarter fish are impossible to catch. , can also escape through the holes in the fishing net.

Although fish is delicious, it can be a bit greasy if you eat it every time. The days of waiting for the brine to crystallize are indeed a bit boring. After all, even on a hot summer day, it takes three or four days to crystallize, and today In season, it takes longer.

But fortunately, the scenery at the seaside is quite good, and you can practice horse riding when you are bored. After all, you have just traveled through time, so you are still a bit unfamiliar.

Bruno would go to the edge of the salt pond every day to take a look. When the salt ponds lined up in rows were basically dug by the serfs, the brine in the earliest completed crystallization pond had basically completed crystallization.

The serfs who had been waiting for a long time opened the valve under Bruno's order, and the bitter brine in the crystallization pond flowed back to the sea along the pre-dug waterway, and what was left in the crystallization pond was mixed with residual brine. Take it with a grain of salt.

The serfs used wooden boards or discarded paddles to push together the salt grains and thin salt blocks scattered at the bottom of the salt pond. The crystallized salt grains were like a low hill, shining in the sunlight. Pure white light.

It's like the wheat grains piled up next to the barn after the autumn harvest, except that the golden grains have been replaced by snow-white salt.

It's that simple?

Is this salty?

Many of the serfs and civilians who were watching were still in a state of confusion. Thinking back to the past, they had to work hard all day to get so little salt, but now...

Just by digging a pond, you can easily get a large amount of snow-white salt grains. This huge psychological gap made them speechless for a while.
