Chapter 322 (1/2)

PS1: above!

”this is the food base of the whole Camelot.” Pointing to the endless wheat fields ahead, Keller said, ”in this neighborhood, an average of more than 30 million kilograms of grain is produced every year, and these will be bought by the royal family.” Keller said, with a graceful finger, the endless wheat fields.

Alcatel was really shocked by the huge granary at first, but he was stimulated by Keller's words and then satirized him. ”And sell it at a high price? Do you make twice, or triple, as middlemen? ”

”No, we put the grain in the warehouse and store it as food for disaster. Then we take out half of the grain we stored last year and sell it to you. The other half makes wine and then sells it to you three times the original price.” Keller smiles. When it comes to eloquence, how can Alcatel be his opponent? A gentle word makes Alcatel speechless.

”Let's go.” Kylar rode the unicorn. The strong light of the unicorn made Alcatel move two steps, and the unicorn snorted because of Alcatel's dark breath.

They were followed by Denise, but Denise's speed was obviously not to be worried about by either of them. She kept a speed of 30 km / h. twenty minutes later, they came to the west of Camero, an endless port, with huge quantities of fish on each ship, which Dracula had never seen before.

Under a huge piece of wood, there is a thick hemp rope thicker than a strong man's arm. At the end of the rope, there is a huge iron hook. On this hook is a huge net. There are many fish in the net that Dracula will never forget.

Below, there are more than 20 strong men pulling a huge rope. The rope is divided into two sections, each with more than 20 people. One section is pulling and the other end is keeping balance.

There's the simplest mechanical gear on it, but it's such a small thing that makes the biggest difference in the laborious fishing industry.

Alcatel has yet to discover what makes Camero's fishery so prosperous: a net made of countless fist sized holes! When the fish were completely hoisted and suspended for two or three meters, more than 50 people on each side pushed the triangular pillars with wheels under them to the inside of the harbor.

About 10 meters away from the water, the huge net was put down, just like the treasure of heaven and earth. The fish was splashed out like an open treasure chest, and people from all over the world cheered loudly.

A lot of women rush up with fish baskets in their waists. They are sorting out the fish. The best tribute is given to the royal family and their own family. This is only a small portion today. Although the royal family may not eat it or even directly reward the servants, it should be a kind of etiquette, a gift to those who do not forget to dig the water. In fact, this is not what Kellar thought of It came from his disciples' wisdom and strength. Keller provided a gear, and then he produced the device that could lift thousands of Jin of fish.

The size of the fishing net is determined by all of us. To give the small fish a chance is a rite to return to the sea. Besides, unlike the small fish in the inland, they can be fried directly. Most of the small fish in the sea have thorns and are poisonous. Therefore, the hole of fist size is just the net covering the sky and the earth for the big fat fish!

Sturgeon and perch, salmon and herring are very large sea fish, and occasionally even larger salmon can be caught. However, it is very difficult to meet lost salmon in this area of the English Channel. On the contrary, a lot of COD are caught downstream because of the warmer weather.

The fish would be sorted and sold to merchants, or dried in salt according to the way Keller had given them. The dried fish needed only one piece to make a dish or soup. It was very popular in Rome, even more popular than fresh fish. The poor people who cooked with dried salted fish did not need any more salt! In this way, a piece of salt will be saved!

Although Carmelo does not lack salt, or even a large amount of salt for export, after adding salt from Carmelo's salt drying method into brine, there is no shortage of salt in Carmelo all over the country. The so-called salt drying method does not mean that salt fields pasted with a large amount of cement are poured into sea water, and then continuously stirred with brine. Instead, it refers to the method of hollowing out huge wood In the big sun, four barrels of brine are added to a huge wood and then exposed to the sun for 15 days. Under the wood, there is a layer of salt with white flowers. The salt will be taken out, crushed and finally turned into fine crystalline powder. This kind of salt is very popular among nobles. It is 500 grams of 20 dinars, which is almost the same weight of silver coin value!

In addition to Carmelo's own eating, this kind of salt is exported, and most people in Rome still use rock salt, that is, the layer of fecal yellow particles left after boiling the salt from salt mines.

This kind of grain is not only the size of sand and stone, which can't be swallowed when eating, but also can't be melted when cooking.

The other is a better salt well. The salt of this kind of salt well is in the next stage of underground rock layer all the year round. That is to say, this kind of salt can only be mined after digging through a layer of rock.This kind of salt well is deep and narrow, even worse than that of African black slaves who dig diamonds. If this kind of narrow well is more than ten meters deep, it can crush people directly in it, but ordinary slaves can't collect salt. So few Roman citizens are willing to go to salt wells to collect salt. This kind of fine salt containing minerals is a special thing of aristocrats, except No This kind of salt has been replaced by camelor's sea salt. Camelo has a large rock salt mine in the mountain area, but only a small number of people are mining it. The advantage of this salt is that it contains a lot of nutrition, and even needs little vegetables. Only putting salt in meat can make up for the vitamin in the body. Kailar has already put these salts into the body It has been sealed up as a reserve grain for altoria's future expedition. Lily is a carnivore, and seldom eats vegetables except meat. Keller is very upset for her nutritional balance. Fortunately, there is rock salt.

This is a strategic reserve.
