Chapter 238 - 239 - Boiling Salt
After the group had left, Su Tang instructed the remaining Beastmen to gather large rocks to set up several temporary stoves.
Gaiyin conjured up six large iron pots, six large iron spoons, and two small buckets, all of which were neatly arranged on the makeshift stoves.
Before long, Tian Ding and the rest emerged from the Forest, arms full of firewood.
"That’s enough, enough. Tian Ding, come here. I’ll instruct you on how to make salt. You start the fire, and three people are enough to chop the wood," she said.
There happened to be exactly ten Weasel Beastmen which made it convenient: one on each of the six stoves, three going to chop wood, and one fetching water. Perfect!
Tian Ding walked over to Su Tang, looking rather cautious, "Saintess..."
To avoid wasting time arguing about titles, Su Tang said: "Making salt is actually quite simple. Do you see the water in front of you? Have someone fetch water, pour it into the pot and keep heating it. Don’t add too much water at once, after each bucket of water is boiled dry, add another one. After repeating the process a few times, a layer of white crystal will appear at the bottom of the pot, that’s salt. Use a spoon to scrape it off and put it into another bucket."
Tian Ding swiftly nodded, "Understood, Saintess. I got it!"
