Chapter 020 [Purification]
Don’t forget, a pound of salt is worth the price of a piece of silk. It refers to the large brown salt sold in government salt shops, which is sea salt that is directly dried or boiled to crystallize without filtering!
Not to mention the flawless pure salt made by Bai Yuqi, even the green salt that has not been processed by him using [Refining Technique] or [Extraction Technique] to remove harmful substances is much more valuable than the large brown salt.
More than twice as much!
Considering that the absolutely non-toxic "snow salt" is worth several times more than the slightly toxic "green salt", right?
If "Yihe" brown salt is worth 3,200 Kaiyuan Tongbao, then "Yizhao" brown salt is worth 32 Kaiyuan Tongbao.
This conversion is incredible. Doesn’t it mean that one snow salt coin is equivalent to hundreds of Kaiyuan Tongbao?
Of course, salt coins are not real currency after all.
The value is only calculated. Whether it is worth the price depends on whether there is a victim who is willing to take it.
So after thinking about it, Bai Yuqi simply asked the villagers to save the steps of making salt and directly boil some brown, red, and cyan salt blocks to make salt coins of different colors.
But how to detoxify has become a problem.
As soon as he uses [Refining Technique] or [Extraction Technique], the salt will directly turn into white.
And because there are more impurities, the scope of the skill will also become smaller.
Bai Yuqi calculated how to use [Refining Technique] or [Extraction Technique] to refine green salt.
When he releases his skill once, he can get one cubic meter of pure salt, which is almost more than two tons!
However, if you use [Refining Technique] or [Extraction Technique] to refine unfiltered salt blocks, the pure salt obtained will be halved for each missing step, which is not cost-effective.
Just thinking about it, the system projected: [It is recommended to activate the holy technique: [Purification Technique]]
After looking at the skill introduction, Bai Yuqi couldn't help but scold the system, since there are skills that can purify toxins in substances.
Why did you recommend such troublesome skills as [Refining Technique] and [Extraction Technique] to him before? Was this a deliberate attempt to deceive the faith he had finally earned?
Also, the previously recommended skills were all "spell" skills. Is there any difference between this "sacred" skill and the "spell" skill?
In other words, the system cannot speak, otherwise I would probably be aggrieved.
Bai Yuqi's previous idea was to refine "clean and non-toxic" table salt.
To achieve that effect, the system naturally can only recommend these two skills that meet the requirements to him.
But his current thinking is that "non-toxic" is fine and he does not pursue "clean".
Then the natural system would recommend [Purification Technique] to him, which can only purify toxins in substances, but cannot purify impurities in substances.
Now, salt blocks of different colors are shaped into snow salt coins, green salt coins, red salt coins, and brown salt coins of different values.
But there must be very few people who can afford high-grade salt.
Therefore, Bai Yuqi mainly processes brown salt coins, except for the "Salt Treasure Yichao" which is 1.3 grams each.
We also made a lot of "Salt Treasure One Spoon" with 13 grams each and "Yan Bao Yihe" with 130 grams each.
The 1.3kg "Salt Treasure One Liter" and the 13kg "Salt Treasure One Bucket" were not made... They were made like a millstone, and no one would be willing to have them.
After working for a while, Bai Yuqi found that the light around her had dimmed.
There was also a gurgling sound in his stomach, and then he realized that he had forgotten to eat lunch after a busy day!
But none of the busy villagers around showed any intention of having lunch...Wait a minute? In ancient times, people seemed to only eat two meals a day, and there was no concept of lunch at all!
Damn it! Life in ancient times is too miserable, right?
Bai Yuqi suddenly felt that she still had a long way to go to improve the living conditions in Kushui Village, which was so poor that it was almost smoking!
Seeing that after working all day, Bai Yuqi had cooked a lot of salt cubes, she simply stood up, patted her butt, and shouted: "Call it off!"
The villagers were stunned for a moment, looking at the pots and pans that were still being cooked, and shouted with unfinished content: "Sir, it's still early! Can you make some more?"
Are you addicted to boiling salt?
Bai Yuqi ignored them, pulled out some firewood, activated the [Light Technique] and released it on the firewood.
After making some luminous torches for them to illuminate, he summoned his "mountain" Gouzi and rode him home to have a meal.
Back at Yang Zhao's house, Yang Zhao was sitting in front of the earthen stove with her little girl in her arms, watching the fire. Something was simmering on the stove, and it smelled delicious.
Apparently, Yang Zhao, who stayed at home to take care of her children, had already heard from the villagers who returned to the village to pick up things that the entire Yang family in Kushui Village had pledged their services to Bai Yuqi. She saw Bai Yuqi coming back on a dog.
He quickly stood up and solemnly saluted and said hello: "The eldest master is back."
"You don't need to be polite... By the way, why do you all call me eldest brother? How can there be such a small old man as me?"
Bai Yuqi jumped off Gouzi's back, walked up to Mrs. Yang Zhao and teased the little girl who was staring at him with her big black eyes. The baby giggled and stretched out her little hands to hug her.
Relying on her own strength, Bai Yuqi picked up the little girl.
Unfortunately, the hands are too short and difficult to hold. I was afraid that the little girl in the hoop would be uncomfortable, so I could only hold her horizontally like a princess.
"The great master is an immortal, so of course the immortal should be called the great master."
"Well, I heard that the Taoist priests in the Taoist temples on the mountain call their temple masters like this!"
Gouzi leaned in front of the earthen stove, sniffing the fragrance in the earthen pot with saliva, and asked Ms. Yang Zhao with a playful smile: "Sister Zhao, what delicious food did you cook for the eldest man?"
Isn't the co-author "Big Master" an exclusive title for fat landlords and wealthy people?
Some Taoist priests with higher status will also be called Da Laoye, which is a relatively close and respectful title.
Bai Yuqi didn't take it seriously at all. Whether he was an immortal, an immortal, a real person, or a great master, he, a modern person from later generations, didn't have much particularity in terms of titles. Since he had traveled to the early Tang Dynasty, he naturally followed the local customs and let the villagers call him whatever they liked.
Bar.
"When I got up in the morning, Uncle Tieniu brought a rabbit, and the old patriarch sent a lot of grain and dried vegetables."
Yang Zhao whispered nervously: "I just stewed a can of dried vegetables and rabbit meat for the great master. I don't know if it will suit the great master's taste."
"I told you that my adoptive mother doesn't need to be so polite..."
Bai Yuqi saw her looking at the little girl she was holding with some uneasiness.
Knowing that she was worried that he had dropped the doll, he smiled and returned the little girl who was slapping his face to Yang Zhao, without forcing her to change her story.
Looking at the earthen pot on the earth stove still bubbling, I guess it will be a while before we can eat.
