Chapter 856 (1/2)
The practice of salted fish was brought into full play by Xianxiang restaurant, and attracted countless diners. We all like this heavy taste dish very much, especially the various salted fish delicacies made by Tian Yuqiao, which are very popular.
Tian Yuqiao was in a good mood. He turned over the account book sent by someone from the Xianxiang hall and kept nodding.
Xiaoyu kept feeding fruit into her mouth. Tian Yuqiao ate happily. Lying on the rocking chair, he kept shaking his legs, what a leisurely and happy attitude of a small landlord.
”Miss, someone over there sent a cart of stones, saying there was salt in it.” Xiaoyu reminded.
Tian Yuqiao put down the account book, stretched himself, got up from the chair and said, ”go, let's go with your young lady.”
As early as after making the plan, Tian Yuqiao had someone prepare a large filtering device.
There is a big wooden bucket next to a sink. The top of the barrel is a large inverted funnel, which is also made of bamboo.
In the narrowest part of the funnel, several layers of charcoal filter cotton are placed. From top to bottom, the particles of charcoal are becoming more and more delicate. Tian Yuqiao tried it once. The filtering effect of this thing is really good.
Tian Yuqiao asked people to smash the stones into pieces and soak them in a bucket. Salt can dissolve in the water. As for other impurities, they are easily filtered out by gauze.
After the first filtration, the brine turned red. Tian Yuqiao touched a little with his hand and tasted it in his mouth ~ the taste is really bitter. It must contain a lot of toxic substances.
The filtered brine was filled in wooden barrels, and people stared at the ladder and went up the barrel. With a ”crash”, pour the brine in the bucket into the big funnel.
In the sink at the bottom, clean salt water that is no longer muddy flows out slowly. This time, the salt water is no longer red, but more transparent.
Tian Yuqiao tasted it again and felt that this was the taste of salt water.
After the first bucket of water was successfully filtered, it was ready for a big fight.
The salt stone smashed into pieces by the cart was quickly filtered out, and the filtered salt water was carried to fry.
Looking at more and more white salt frost on the pot, Tian Yuqiao was relieved. After they scraped out the salt crystals in the pot, Tian Yuqiao tasted it. Then he nodded again and again and said yes, so he asked people to send this bag of salt to the palace.
Fang Wenhao was overjoyed, because according to the proportion of salt given to him by Tian Yuqiao, the salt she got by this method was several times more than the salt that the salt digging workers had taken pains to get before.
Originally, ten kilograms of salt stone could not produce half a kilogram of salt, but now it can be filtered out three jin of salt, and it is still clean snow-white refined salt.
Tian Yuqiao also found that this method of extracting salt was faster than drying salt directly from the sea water, so he sent this set of equipment for filtering salt water to the salt mine.
