C6 Birth of Salt

"Chu, you said salty water. I know there is a lake, and the lake is very bitter and salty, so we can't drink it. We call it two days and two nights away from our tribe, but we can't drink the water. Can we really use it to make salt?"

Gaang Gu asked with a hint of suspicion. He couldn't completely trust this foreigner.

Chu Dong patted his shoulder and said confidently, "I will let you see this stagnant water become salt and use my life as a guarantee!"

Since Chu Dong said so, Gaang Gu had nothing else to say. It was just stagnant water, and the water couldn't be drunk. There weren't any wild beasts or other tribes living nearby, so there was no danger.

"Ma, bring Hunting Wasteland Team to retrieve dead water!" Gaang Gu turned around and ordered Ma Ma Ma.

"Yes, Chief."

With a heavy nod of his head, he brought the few people from Hunting Wasteland Team and the beast skin water bag to go fetch the dead water.

After the few of them left, Gaang Gu revealed a strange smile, "Chu, after the salt is refined, you and Xia can officially join Rock Tribe. Of course, we can only do this after the ceremony."

Chu Dong nodded carelessly. Turning salt water into salt is simple!

Two days later.

"Chief! "Found it, we've found it!"

After leaving for two days, his Hunting Wasteland Team returned worn out from the journey.

"Chu, this is what you wanted!" Chief Gaang Gu waved his hand and behind him, several Gaang Gu's Warriors carried five or six beast skin bags and placed them in front of Chu Dong.

Looking at the clear water, Chu Dong's eyes lit up. He opened the bag and dipped his finger in the water, tasting it gently. After tasting it, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Thank you! With it, we'll have salt! "

Xia scratched his head in confusion. With a cautious gaze, he asked, "Chu, can this water really turn into salt?"

"Of course! Just look at me! " This water was indeed salt water, and that lake was also a lake of salt. Besides seawater, it was the only water that could produce salt! Now, he needed a set of distilling tools to distill the brine that was full of impurities and extract the pure salt!

Chu Dong nodded in satisfaction: "I still need some things right now, big stone bowls, a few big stones and some wood!"

"It can turn into salt just like that?"

Chief Gaang Gu couldn't help but ask when he saw Chu Dong's confident look.

"Trust me!"

Chu Dong was still confident in the application of the simple distillation technique.

"Alright!"

When Chief Gaang Gu saw Chu Dong's expression, he waved his hand and said, "Get me the things that Chu wants!"

Following Chief Gaang Gu's order, everyone scattered in search of what Chu Dong needed.

"Come on, put the stone basin here!"

Then, he placed the stone basin on top of the stone. Then, he let the women start drilling wood for the fire, igniting the fire from the bottom of the 'oven' and licking the stone basin above the residence. At this time, Chu Dong poured the salt lake water from the Animal Skin Bag into the pot.

The higher the temperature, the more volatile the water would be and the more the salt would be.

Saline is not saline and cannot be eaten directly.

This was also why Chief Gaang Gu said that the water was stagnant.

The time it took to refine the salt was exceptionally long. The other people of the tribe stretched their necks to look at the continuously decreasing amount of water in the stone basin, wanting to find out what was going on.

"It's out!"

"It's out!"

The thick stone pots were not susceptible to heat, and a snow-white steam was slowly rising from the surface of the water.

As time passed, the brine began to bubble, the water evaporated, and the bottom of the water was continuously seen. Beads of black and yellow crystals were continuously produced.

Salt appeared!

When the water was completely dry, Chu Dong ordered two tough soldiers to carry the stone basin down.

Looking at the contents in the bowl, Chu Dong frowned slightly. He felt that there were still more impurities. It was already not bad to be able to use these simple and crude tools to vaporize the salt.

Very quickly, his train of thought was interrupted. Everyone was staring excitedly at the crystal stone basin, while a person had already extended his' evil 'hand towards the stone basin.

"Is this salt? "Why is it so much whiter than our salt?" Tong Chui squatted on the ground and curiously stared at the salt in the basin. He was very curious about the depths of his index finger and wanted to try it.

"Pah!"

With a crisp slap, a fist-sized palm landed on Wu Tie's face and sent him flying. Chief Gaang Gu shouted with a loud voice, "You stinking brat, don't hit me like that!"

This was an incomparably precious salt, how could he so casually come into contact with it?

"I'm fine!"

Chu Dong smiled and looked at the water in the basin, "Soon, just wait a little longer."

Very quickly, as the temperature increased, the stone pot revealed the salt grains of the grains.

Chief Gaang Gu suddenly walked up, stretched out his neck and stared at the salt in the stone pot. He exclaimed, "It's really salt?"

"You can try!"

Chu Dong did not stand on ceremony and directly scooped out the salt from the pot with a stone spoon, then handed it over.

Chief Gaang Gu tasted the food lightly and suddenly exclaimed. Wu Tie around him also tasted it one by one.

"Salty!"

"Salty!"

"It's salt!"

Gaang Gu stomped his foot excitedly and shouted: "Salt! Our Rock Tribe, has salt too! "

Primitive Tribe, salt is really too precious. It was not only an important strategic item, but also an essential addition to the food!

Chu Dong saw the crowd shouting like this and venting the emotions in his heart.

Looking at the full pot of salt, she was unable to contain her joy as she cried out loudly, "Our Rock Tribe has actually managed to produce its own salt one day."

Tong Chui nodded again and again, "It's salt!" It's salt! "

"Chu Dong is a witch!"

It was unknown who shouted this, but the crowd immediately quietened down.

Chief Gaang Gu suddenly stared at Chu Dong.

Only a middle-sized tribe or higher would have a Magus. The existence of a Magus could not only guide the tribe in the future, but also help the tribe get out of trouble, similar to the existence of a spirit totem.

If they had a Magus in their Rock Tribe, they would have a good chance of becoming a mid-sized tribe.

"I'm not!" Chu Dong shook his head and argued.

How could he understand those spells? Salt production was nothing more than the use of modern knowledge, nothing more than these profound and mysterious things.

"If you weren't a Magus, how could you have been able to give people blood transfusions and make salt?!"

Obviously, Chief Gaang Gu didn't believe Chu Dong's words.

"This …"

Chu Dong looked hesitant. He knew that since Xia came with him, he wouldn't be able to lie to him.

Now that he found so many things, if I don't have a reasonable explanation, I might be treated as a monster. Now, I have to find a reasonable excuse for myself!

Chu Dong suddenly realized something.
