C7 Salt Making

When he went back, he saw Auntie Lin put a stone board in the fire with a piece of wet clothes in her hand. When the water on the stone board was almost burnt dry, she squeezed the water on top of the clothes evenly. Repeat this action...

Wang Yao was very curious, "Auntie Lin, why are you roasting that stone? Do you know that we've caught a sheep and want to cook a stone barbecue?" This was what she was thinking. She was still squatting beside Auntie Lin with her hands supporting her, looking so cute that she couldn't even pay with her life …

"Silly girl, I'm using the method of distilling seawater to make salt. For the past two days, there hasn't been any salt. Don't you feel that the grilled fish are light?" Auntie Lin said with a smile. So Auntie Lin's hometown was by the sea. Many years later, we sent Auntie Lin back to her hometown to experience the real sea water drying salt... sea of salt

"Oh?" Wang Yao seemed to be deep in thought.

"Look, look! Look at the salt!"

We turned our attention to the stone slab. After the water was dried, we saw a layer of white crystals on the slab. Auntie Lin used her car keys to lightly scratch them a few times, and we saw granules like white sugar, but their appearance was still different from our salt. Auntie Lin carefully scraped the salt off with a piece of paper that looked like a big spoon.

Wang Yao was still in a daze as she lowered her head …

Li Yan and I have brought the wild sheep to the seaside. Although the weather is not very hot, it will deteriorate after a long time. Because there was only one knife, he had to skin it. Very quickly, I peeled off the wild sheepskin. When I peeled it, I was very careful not to cut off the lamb and skin. Liyan had been supporting me with the wild sheep's feet. There was a fishy smell, really sad her, sometimes I wonder if Li Yan can endure anything, unintentionally met her eyes, she was a bit evasive, her facial features were very delicate, is the kind of traditional Oriental woman's beauty. There was not a single flaw on her delicate face. Her large eyes felt like they could see through everything. Her lips pouted, but her pure face was still as devastatingly beautiful as before. Even if she was wearing inappropriate clothes, it still couldn't cover up her good figure.

I admit that I was distracted, Li Yan noticed that I blankly looked at her a bit shy, a bit at a loss of what to do. I don't know why Li Yan seemed to have changed since she arrived here. She became more reserved and cautious …

We didn't leave the beach, partly because I still hadn't figured out what was going on in the forest, and partly because I wasn't sure if there were any big predators in there, and partly because we had always thought that rescue teams would come and save us. Afraid that the rescue team wouldn't be able to see us, Wang Yao and the others even set up a large SOS on the ground …

I cut the wild lamb into pieces, feeling the texture of the meat so tight that all the entrails were left behind except the intestines

The intestines were supposed to be there because I had no experience dirtying them. When we split up the meat, Auntie Lin and Wang Yao came over to help. My heart was filled with joy as I carried the heavy mutton in a single shoulder bag.

Just as Wang Yao said, we roasted mutton on the stone slab. Looking at the mutton shrinking on the stone slab, making sizzling sounds, and listening to the laughter of the women playing around, I feel that there was nothing that could be happier than this …

Holding the homemade chopsticks and holding the roast lamb in her hands, Wang Yao said that she didn't need to add salt because she had already soaked it in salt water. It really didn't taste that light anymore. Feel very fragrant, deeply understand that if there is no salt then the deliciousness of the mountain and sea taste will also be indifferent tasteless... We also baked fish on the stone, but the fish is not easy to roast, Wang Yao asked me to fish into small pieces... Li Yan didn't say anything during this time, but she would give us the roasted meat … She really is a caring beauty... She was actually the perfect daughter-in-law in my mother's eyes. It was just that how could a parent who had a beautiful job and a glorious life like me, who had nothing at all, take a liking to me. It's not that others are too outstanding when they can't do it themselves. Wang Yao and her are all those kind of girls that are close to perfection, but usually, many especially outstanding girls are single. It's not that others don't like them not to admire them, it's because others are like me, feeling that they are too outstanding that no one dares to get close to them …

However, there was still one more problem. Where could he put the meat that was not finished to prevent it from spoiling? Later, Auntie Lin said that she didn't have much salt so she could only soak it in salt water. He also said that she would make more salt tomorrow, so she could use it to preserve meat in the future … Auntie Lin also told me that this kind of salt can't be eaten directly, because there are a lot of things that we can't eat, but if we put this kind of salt in fresh water to make salt water, then we can relax and use those that can't be easily dissolved …

It had to be said that Auntie Lin knew a lot. With her, we are all like children, this is the experience of life, time will make us who once contended with each other become calm, we will let us who weighed everything down become tolerant, we will make us who are indifferent become passionate, we will make us who are heartless understand and cherish, to put it bluntly, time will make us mature more and more, more and more stable, more and more responsible …

But we don't have a container of salt water that can hold a lot of meat. Auntie Lin told me to make a thin slice of mutton and put it on the branch like a skewer. Then she told me to pick the raw leaves of the coconut tree and after I picked them up, he put them in the fire and after a while the whole fire was full of smoke, but the smoke was not pungent and had an indescribable smell. Auntie Lin put the skewers on the leaves and let the smoke dry. Auntie Lin taught us a lot of things...

Due to the bed being made up, Li Yan, Wang Yao and the rest could all sleep. I placed the sharpened steel bar on the side of my hand and leaned against them to sleep as well … Wang Yao woke up once in the middle of the night because Wang Yao had woken up to go to the toilet. However, she didn't dare to go anywhere in the dark, so she accompanied her, and Wang Yao told me to stay there and watch. They were squatting behind a big rock not far from me, and Wang Yao even mischievously warned me not to peek, telling me to turn my back on them …

Although fair ladies like everyone and every man likes beautiful girls, I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of the situation to enter a place where others are in danger, and I don't force anyone to be with me. Right now, we are in a precarious situation, so if there's not even a place to shelter from the rain, what kind of thoughts would we have if it were to rain … Besides, they also had to be willing to do it. No matter what the circumstances, you have to have your own bottom line...

After returning home, they chattered for a while before falling asleep. I lay down and fell asleep, because tomorrow I want to look into the depths of the forest …
