Chapter 543 - Food Distribution at Home (2) (2/2)
The tribal head couldn’t understand their conversation but also instinctively felt that things weren’t good.
“Did something happen to the City of Beastmen? The earthquake was very serious?”
Winston said, “There’s no more City of Beastmen.”
The tribal head’s body swayed a little, and his expression instantly became even more defeated.
“Why don’t we try extracting salt from the seawater ourselves?” Bai Qingqing asked meekly at the side.
Although she hadn’t been to the sea before nor seen the places where salt was dried, she had seen it before on television.

There was a period when “A Bite of China” was extremely popular, and she would watch every episode seriously while eating cup noodles. In the show, they did explain how salt was produced from salt wells through heating, and then used to make a certain specialty food.
If the water from the salt wells could be heated into salt, then it’d definitely work for seawater.
“We aren’t merfolk. How are we going to extract salt?” The tribal head no longer had the same enthusiasm from the beginning and said impatiently. After saying that, he felt a chill and quickly shut up.
Winston understood her. He knew that she must have the confidence to be saying this, and thus asked, “Do you have a way to do it?”
“I do know of a method, but I haven’t put it into practice personally. But I’m sure that as long as the method is done properly, it’ll definitely succeed!”
Bai Qingqing fell silent for a moment before exhaling and saying, “Since we don’t have any other way now, why don’t we give it a try?”
“Alright.” Winston agreed without any hesitation.
The one the most concerned about having edible salt wasn’t the tribal head, but Winston.
He had to let Qingqing live in the village with her head raised, and not to be discriminated against.
“Gather some males and prepare to head to the seaside.”
Winston instructed the tribal head expressionlessly. He then turned toward Bai Qingqing, changing into a gentle expression. “Tell me how to do it.”
“Alright. It’s very simple. You just need to keep on adding water and boiling it.”
Bai Qingqing gave it some thought. If it was put through too many rounds of boiling, remnants might be left behind. So, she said, “Bring back what has been boiled. I’ll sieve them with snakeskin.”
