Chapter 363: Conquering a wise woman to farm in Huangxing (22)
In case another woman volunteered to be "his" woman, Xu Yin asked Mrs. Simon to pass on a few words: She had been heartbroken by feelings, and unless she completely thought about it one day in the future, she would never be the same in this life. If you are tempted again, you will never have any entanglements with women again.
Finished that she was worried, and added one more thing: Her orientation is normal, and although she was heartbroken by a woman, she would not choose a man as her partner because of this.
The reason why I added this is because I am afraid that some men will have their thoughts on her, then she will really thank you!
Mrs. Simon acted as a mouthpiece conscientiously. She felt that Xu Yin's original words were a bit harsh, so she explained it euphemistically: "Don't think that the hero is ignorant of good and bad. He has really suffered serious emotional trauma. He just You have all seen his face when he came. Those scars were caused by his former lover and his collaborators. As long as the scars are still there, he will never be able to escape the shadow of betrayal in his life. So don't disturb him and communicate normally. He said he was welcome, but words that crossed the line should not be mentioned again from now on."
"I didn't expect that someone as powerful as a hero would suffer such a heavy betrayal. And it was betrayal by the person next to him. It's so infuriating! The hero is so charming... Could that woman be dissatisfied with the fact that the hero is weak, short, and looks like a child? Girls?"
"If you don't like it, just break up normally. Why would you hurt the hero? Fortunately, this woman didn't come to the Exile Star. Otherwise, it's up to me to deal with her! How dare I do this to the hero...my poor hero brother..."
After listening to Mrs. Simon's explanation, these women discovered that men as powerful as heroes could sometimes be injured and wronged. They suddenly changed from the original eagerness to become the women around heroes to the ones who cared about and protected heroes. , no longer let him be hurt and wronged, and one by one began to call themselves sisters.
Xu Yin heard about it and said: “…”
Okay, let’s just be a sister. It’s better than being around her and flirting with her like last time.
She has been worried about the dwindling salt supply recently.
As each family grows more and more vegetables, there is not enough salt to eat on the surface.
Occasionally there will be a bottle of special seasoning salt for barbecue in the supply package. The supervision office probably knows that the exiled prisoners will hunt some insects and beasts to roast and eat. But every dish needs salt, and the salt used for barbecues is quickly running out.
Xu Yin then turned her brain to the saltwater lake and decided to bask in the sea salt herself.
I remember that during the Yan Dynasty, I exchanged a book on drying salt techniques with the system, and it came in handy now.
The saltwater lake is surrounded by saline-alkali land, and it is impossible to grow anything except salt-alkali resistant crops.
She now has no energy points to plant saplings for crops that are resistant to salt and alkali. She might as well open a salt farm to dry the salt and make the best use of it.
Just in time, a group of new people have recently arrived. They are still in shock and confusion after a few days. They haven't started to open up wasteland for farming yet. Let's just let them go to the saltwater lake to dry the sea salt.
“Salt out the salt and exchange natural ingredients with others, both parties will benefit.” Xu Yin gave each of them a watermelon and said to them.
These people thought it was reasonable, and followed Xu Yin happily to the salt water lake to bask in salt, holding watermelons in their arms.
Petry and others watched from a distance as Xu Yin tricked these newbies into drying out sea salt, and they all expressed sympathy.
Hin said these fools! I was given a melon and followed happily. I didn’t even think about how easy it was to dry the salt.
Of course it’s not easy!
Especially because these people don't have Xu Yin's strong strength and don't have an automatic thermostat. They are drying salt in the open space without shade under the scorching sun, which is like being tortured.
But Xu Yin would cut a large watermelon soaked in Lingxu Sect mountain spring water for them every day, and cook a pot of sweet mung bean soup with rock sugar, which made them feel that they had put in a little labor in exchange for not having to eat or see anything before. The natural ingredients I have seen are worth it.
This sunshine lasts a whole summer.
With the sun-dried sea salt, it is not only enough for everyone to eat, but also enough for Xu Yin to pickle various pickles, kimchi, and sauerkraut.
Mrs. Simon and others all wanted to learn from her. As a result, the clay pots Xu Yin took out were not enough. She thought about burning the kiln again.
But clay is needed to fire the kiln. Where can I find clay? It seems that there are no muddy beaches in this area.
"River beach?" Card Xiu thought for a while and said, "There seems to be a lake in the Insect Beast Forest. The soil around it is moist and sticky. Is it the mud you mentioned? But it is close to the core area and is full of dangers. I am just getting lost. I’ve been there since then and haven’t been there since.”
“Is the danger referring to insects and beasts?”
Xu Yin thought that if it was an insect beast, with her strength level being able to kill a giant beast with one punch, she didn't seem to have to worry too much.
But Card Xiu muttered: "Insect beasts are one thing, but the most dangerous thing is not insect beasts. Simon came earlier than me. He once heard an old man who had been here for fifty or sixty years say that the core area of the Insect Beast Forest The geology of the forest is very special. When walking, you will suddenly sink and be unable to pull out your feet, and then be swallowed by the giant beast with a big mouth. Many people tried to walk through the forest before, but a few of them were swallowed by the giant beast as soon as they fell. , no one dares to go there anymore. I still don’t know if anyone has successfully passed through the core area.”
Xu Yin Why does it sound so much like a swamp in a tropical rainforest environment? Could it be that the giant beast that devours people when they fall into the swamp is a crocodile?
Think about it being a real tropical rainforest, it is indeed very dangerous.
But speaking of which, the periphery of the Insect Beast Forest looks like either temperate or subtropical vegetation, but the core area is actually a tropical rain forest?
She couldn't help but click her tongue: "How big is the Insect Beast Forest?"
Kaxiu shook his head: "I don't know, but it's very big anyway."
Unable to find clay suitable for firing kilns, Xu Yin planned to use soil dug up by deep plowing to try.
"Hero, you can also burn kilns? I've only seen it in star history books." After hearing this, Mrs. Simon began to praise her again.
Xu Yin has heard her praises a lot in the past few years, and has developed a thick skin: "The kimchi jar is not enough, I want to see if I can burn a jar out of clay."
“How much soil do you need? I’ll dig it for you.”
“We don’t need too much for now, I don’t know if it can be used yet.” Xu Yin sighed, “Actually, it’s best to use mud from rivers and lakes, but it’s a pity that we don’t have river beaches here.”
“Beside a river or a lake? Is it okay to go to a saltwater lake? I think there’s some pretty muddy mud on the saltwater lake side. I’m not sure if it’s the clay you’re talking about.”
Xu Yin’s eyes lit up: That’s right! Sea mud can also be used! Who says it has to be light cement?
There are still some artists today who choose to use sea mud to burn kilns.
“Thank you, Mrs. Simon!” Xu Yin almost hugged her and kissed her.
Thinking about her identity as a woman disguised as a man, it’s better to say goodbye so as not to cause Simon to misunderstand.
Seeing how happy she was, Mrs. Simon also laughed: "I hope I can help you. I'll call Simon and ask him to find a few people to dig mud with you."
“Okay! Once the cooking is successful, we will have an endless supply of jars to pickle pickles and make kimchi.”
