Chapter 1138 [1137] Little Lady of Taste 31 (3000+)

There are many stones at the entrance of the cave, and it is obvious that it is a pure natural cave with no trace of human mining.

The hole looked quite deep. When the torch was shining up, the black bat flapped its wings and ran out, scaring her so much that she squatted down and shook it with the torch. From later generations, she felt terrible when she saw a creature like a bat.

After the bat flew away, she calmed down and continued to walk down. The cave didn't seem to be big from the outside, but it was winding inside and kept walking down. Occasionally, she could see the condensed natural columns.

"Lin Sen?" She called his name, and the whole cave echoed with 'Lin Sen Forest...' Oh my god, it's so scary.

The shapes of the solution on the stone walls are different. If they were placed in later generations, they might have been transformed into a natural scenic spot.

The further I walked down, the cooler I felt, and there was a gust of moisture in the air. I turned around and looked up, and couldn't help but get cold air. Before I knew it, it was so deep?

Of course, there was more than one road in this cave. She followed Lin Sen's smell and found it all the way, but no matter how she shouted, she couldn't get the response from that person.

As she walked, the solution on the wall seemed to turn white. At first, she didn't care, but as she touched it, she felt something was wrong with the white solution. Some crystals were large, some were small, and the cylinders were in front of it at first, but the lower the cylinders were more dispersed. Put them on the tip of her nose and sniff them gently, as if they didn't smell anything. She put them in her mouth for a slight purse. She was stunned.

Is this the smell of salt?

She took the torch and approached the wall, but saw that the crystal on it was very thin, and when she just came down from it, it seemed that there was not yet.

She thought of something and walked down more nervously. As expected, the crystals went down as she went down, the deeper the thickness.

It has not only appeared on the wall, but also the white layer of the place under the feet.

My carp...what luck is this?

Soon, she walked to the bottom of the cave, where there was a very small stream that winded out all the way, surrounded by stones.

Due to the surrounding humidity, a layer of white frost condenses on the surface of these stones.

She ran over and tasted the water here, and it was indeed a bit salty.

This is a small salt mine. Although it is not large and the concentration is not that exaggerated, she undoubtedly confirmed that this is a salt mine.

When I first arrived, it was a road. Now I have been wandering around at the bottom. Without discovering Lin Sen, I still saw a lot of salt crystals.

She kicked the stone under the kick, squatted down casually and grabbed a handful of soil. There were a lot of impurities in the soil, but it could taste a salty smell.

She continued walking forward with a torch, and finally found a way out along the stream, walked out along the empty cave, and finally walked around the back of the mountain.

Compared with the above, there are obviously fewer plants below, and there are not even weeds on the empty ground, which is enough to show that the salt composition here is higher than the above.

Shen Qing calmed down and thought about it carefully, feeling that with this probability, the people nearby could not have discovered this. As for why they have not been mined so far, maybe... it is because the salt content here is not as high as imagined?

But……

Looking at the bare area at the foot of the mountain, even on the flat ground in the distance, it seems that winter wheat is not planted, so it shouldn’t have low salt content!

Why no one knows the situation here and then protects or mines?

"Why did you follow me? Are you not afraid?"

At this moment, Lin Sen was holding a chicken in his hand and quietly jumped down from the hillside behind her.

Shen Qing's heart skipped a beat. When she looked back, Lin Sen's eyes were falling on the torch in her hand.

"Oh, I, I found it in the corner of the cave entrance above."

Cave entrance?

Lin Sen frowned, but said nothing. He looked at the sky, took the torch from her hand, and asked her to pull his clothes.

"It's getting late, let's go back, otherwise my sister-in-law and the others should be anxious."

Shen Qing hesitated for a while and asked her doubts: "This cave...is a salt mine?"

Lin Sen had already turned around, but when he heard Shen Qing's words, he turned around in surprise: "You just left this time and you discovered it?"

Shen Qing's eyebrows thumped: "It's really a salt mine? Then why...?"

"You mean, since it's a salt mine, why can it still be retained so well without being coveted?"

Shen Qing thought for a while, nodded, and Lin Sen smiled: "That's because this salt mine is owned by the government. It is illegal to buy and sell salt privately. Moreover, the salt here is very bitter and cannot be eaten at all."

The bitterness is because the refining is not good enough, so it becomes bitter. Under normal circumstances, the salt from this place is bitter.

But she also heard the implicit sound. Because it was too bitter, it could be preserved so well. Even if it was open up and down, no one would do it.

Lin Sen pointed to the stream under his feet: "The people downstream will receive the water here, but the more they go down, the lighter it becomes. The water also contains salt. Although it is not much, the bitter taste is very light and barely in the mouth. As for the hole, no one will dig it because it is too bitter and has a bad taste. Everyone is not interested in it. Moreover, if you buy salt seriously, you can still afford it. If you can't afford it, you can drink this water."

bitter?

Shen Qing thought of something, turned around and ran back to the cave, Lin Sen was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Wait for me, I'll go." Shen Qing, who returned to the cave, found a piece of cloth from the space, then took the stone to scrape the salt from the wall into the cloth, scraping it into two or three pounds, and finally ran out with the salt.

Lin Sen followed her all the way, so she arrived incredible: "What do you want to do?"

"Oh, I just thought of a way to purify. The reason why these salts are bitter is that they have not mastered the method of purification. If the purification step can be done well, these salts will not be bitter."

Modern people know how to purify it. There are many movies and TV series. She has boiled salt in sea water in other worlds, so purifying is easy to be familiar to her.

Lin Sen looked at her curiously: "So what if you do? These salt mines and other things are all from the default country!"

Shen Qing curled her lips: "It's default. We don't sell it. Isn't it okay to eat it yourself? I can save a little bit!"

Lin Sen was amused and crying, "I can't tell that you are a HIA who is good at living."

"Then of course, let's go quickly. If you don't go back, you really can't see anything."

When Shen Qing grabbed Lin Sen's clothes, followed him step by step, and slowly walked back to the village, her sister-in-law were indeed looking around at the door.

When I saw them coming back, I felt relieved: "Oh, where are you going? We have all gone to the mountain for a while, but we have not seen anyone."

"She got lost. I went to search for it for a long time before I found it. It made my sisters-in-law anxious. You don't have to wait for us."

"Oh, it's good to be back. Hurry up, wash your hands and prepare for dinner. In the afternoon, we went to dig shepherd's purse, cooked vegetable nests, and cooked brown rice porridge. The children have eaten it, and only a few of us adults are missing."

"Oh, I'm just patronizing that, I forgot all the wild vegetables I dug into the ground."

In fact, I have put the space in, but I haven’t found a suitable opportunity to take it out, so I can only talk about the change of life.

It's dark and the salt cannot be purified, so I have to talk about it later.

After dinner, I realized that there was something embarrassing about each other. She is now a man, so naturally she has to squeeze on the same kang with those big men.

When she slept in the afternoon during the day, she was at the edge of the corner, and it did not affect others, nor did anyone delay her sleep, so she didn't think anything was there.

Now at night, when there are many people, Yu Jingtian can sleep next to her, but the current situation is that everyone else has left, and only one kang needs to be burned, so the family naturally has to sleep in the same room. If they want to burn a kang, wouldn’t they have to sleep on the same kang?

"I've already started to burn your kang. Let's take a look when you sleep. If there is not enough firewood, just take it in the corridor."

After the sister-in-law explained, they went back to their respective rooms, leaving them to stare at each other.

Finally, Shen Qing reacted first, and she pointed to both sides of the kang: "I sleep here, if you sleep there, no one should affect anyone!"

Lin Sen saw her reaction and couldn't help but find it funny, but instead of teasing her, she gave the position of the kang to her.

"I'll just sleep at the end of the kang."

A woman is born with cold and afraid of cold. When his mother was there, she asked him this question. It is natural that she is suitable for sleeping on the head of the kang.

Seeing that he was quite sensible, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was not sleepy, it was dark and there was no entertainment. She could only climb onto the kang in the dark and take off her coat in the quilt.

This was the first time the two of them were in the same room. There was a rustling sound, and they finally calmed down after they took off their clothes and lay down.

Lin Sen originally wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but because he was too nervous, he couldn't scare people, so he simply shut up and turned around.

Hearing her slowly exhaled, his lips curled and his eyes closed.

I was just trying to calm down, but I didn't expect that I would fall asleep soon.

Shen Qing was shocked when she heard the little snoring sound of him. She thought that this person would sleep when he was touched by the bed. How long has it been before he fell asleep?

Then she thought that it was because she woke up too early in the morning, so she took a nap in the afternoon, but she didn't sleep.

Because she was free, she simply sneaked into the space to pick vegetables.

Before I could wash the wild vegetables I picked in the afternoon, I took advantage of my boredom and harvested the vegetables in the space and planted them. Then I sat on the stool to sort the shepherd's purse and the chen.

She plans to make dumplings with meat. The tangerine can be dried and soaked in water. After cleaning, sprinkle flour and steamed in a pot. After cooking, eat with porridge. It does not need to sprinkle any seasonings and it is delicious. You can also stir-fry with chili in the oil pan. The taste is also very good.

This is a reward from nature, so she cherishes it no matter when she eats it.

There is another chapter in the afternoon.
