The Empress’s Gigolo

Chapter 50-Well Salt

Ren Baqian heard Nagu’s words and was quite sure in his heart.

When he heard about the poisonous salt water, he had an idea. Although toxic, all substances in the world are composed of ions and molecules, so chemical reactions are bound to occur under certain conditions.

That is, the salt can be extracted, or the toxicity can be eliminated.

The black water still smells of rotten eggs. It is probably a kind of black brine. There is this thing on Earth, and it was used by the ancient people using wisdom and refined it nearly 2000 years ago. .

This is the predecessor of the famous “well salt”. After learning about this World, he deliberately inquired about various information about well salt. In fact, it is not only the seaside that can produce salt, but the people in Sichuan, Tibet and other places use various methods to extract salt from nature, which is an essential material for life.

There are also various methods. The natural brine on the surface and the salt crystallization of the saline-alkali land are just the simplest. Without such conditions, many other methods are used to make salt. Well salt is one of them.

Among them are black brine wells, yellow brine wells, and Shiyan wells. It is mainly to extract the seawater accumulated in the ground after the evolution of the crust. Or it is metamorphic seawater.

Among them, black brine well refers to this toxic black brine. This kind of metamorphic seawater is generally below 300 meters underground, but springs or puddles may occasionally be formed due to earthquakes or other reasons.

It was precisely because of this that Ren Baqian immediately thought of this when he heard them talk about toxic salt water.

“Do you have that brown water? It’s salty and poisonous.” Ren Baqian asked immediately.

The reason for asking this is because there are a large amount of sulfate in black brine, and barium ions in yellow brine. Both brines are toxic to the human body, but if fuse together in a proper ratio, the sulfate and barium It turns into barium sulfate crystals to eliminate toxicity and extract well salt.

Of course, the premise is that the black liquid pool is indeed black brine. And there are no other toxic ingredients in it.

According to just a few sentences, Ren Baqian thinks that the first point of probability is very big, and the second point is hard to say.

“No”. The big man coldly said, even if he knew that Ren Baqian was working in the Beast Garden, it just made him less hostile, but it didn’t mean that he would be happy with Ren Baqian. In fact, Ren Baqian has a thin body. He looks like Yun Guoren and Great Xia. He will not like him when he sees such a person. This is already deeply rooted.

“Yes!” Nagu suddenly remembered something, and turned to retort the big man: “The one in the mountain we met last time, Da Gong took a sip of thirsty, and without energy all afternoon, he shot the animal face with an arrow. Go on, you almost got pierced by the tooth beast. Isn’t that water what he said?”

“Hmph” the big man coldly snorted turned his head.

Nagu turned her head to look at Ren Baqian and said, “There is a crevice in the mountain where the water is what you said, but it’s only brown, so you can’t drink it.”

Ren Baqian was delighted to hear her.

I just asked by the way, I didn’t expect it to be.

“Where is your stockade?” Ren Baqian asked.

“What are you doing?” Nagu immediately became alert.

“I don’t know where your stockade is. Where can I find the black liquid pool and the other water you mentioned?” Ren Baqian said.

“What are you looking for this thing for? You thought it could be used as salt? I told you it was poisonous.” Nagu looked at Ren Baqian suspiciously.

“Since it is poisonous, there is a way to detoxify it. Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing and restraining.”

“Hmph, don’t believe it!” Nagu said directly.

“You have to try to find out. If you are really looking for it, how about hiring you as a guide and paying with salt?” Ren Baqian lured him.

Nagu rolled her eyes and stretched out a finger: “I am a good hunter. I want to hire me as a guide. I need at least half a catty of salt a day.”

Ren Baqian looked at her outstretched finger and thought about what she said. He was very curious. What would she do if she wanted a pound of salt? Stretch 2 fingers?

Thinking of this, Ren Baqian subconsciously stretched out two fingers: “What’s this?”

Nagu was taken aback for a moment, and then furious: “Are you a fool?” She showed her fist that was a circle bigger than the Earth woman, and she didn’t forget to bark her teeth at Ren Baqian and the enraged cat. Like.

Ren Baqian estimated the strength of Great Yao, and then looked at Nagu’s fist. He estimated that if he was punched in the chest with such a small fist, he would have to spit out his liver.

“Half a catty of salt, agreed.” Ren Baqian immediately changed his words.

“En? Well, if you have a hunter like me as a tour guide, you can make a lot of money!” Nagu retracted her fist, raised her face and raised her head proudly.

“You really belong to the Beast Garden?” Nagu thought for a while and asked again.

Ren Baqian took out a sign in his arms: “See it for yourself.”

“I don’t know, I don’t understand.” Nagu spread her hand.

“I told you earlier, this is the steward of the Beast Garden, can I pretend to lie to you?” Tie Dao said on the side.

Nagu looked at the iron sword, then at Ren Baqian, and then said: “Believe you first. Our stockade is on the 9 top mountain. You can reach it by a day’s walk southwest from the city. There is a Loon Cape below the mountain. I heard it when it blew.”

“What’s the corner under the mountain? Where can I find it?” Ren Baqian said in his hand. How can I find a corner under a mountain? What is the difference between to find a needle in a haystack?

“It’s not a corner, it’s Loon’s horn. You don’t even know Loon’s horn? There is a stick standing under the mountain, and Loon’s horn is hanging on it.” Nagu looked at Ren Baqian with wide eyes.

Ren Baqian saw Na Gu’s expression that you are an alien, ah, that you don’t even know the corner of Luoweng, and turned to look at the iron knife: “What is the corner of Luoweng?”

“Luo Weng is a kind of wild beast in the mountains. It has a single horn and is as fast as lightning. When the horn on the head is taken off, it can sound 10 li.” Said the iron knife.

“Can 10 li really come out?” Ren Baqian looked suspicious of expression. What is the concept of 10 li? 10 li is 5 kilometers, and it takes about an hour to walk.

Even if it is an open place in the wild, it takes about 5 100-20 decibel to spread 30 kilometers.

Probably the sound of an airplane taking off, or the sound of thunder.

Ren Baqian couldn’t believe that an animal horn could make such a loud sound.

The iron knife rattled his mouth: “In the cottage there are usually big-eared monkeys and the like. If you can hear the sound of Loon’s corner in the distance, the people in the village will know that there are guests.”

Ren Baqian just suddenly.

Turning her head to see Nagu wanted to ask where Naluoung’s corner was, she probably didn’t know clearly, so she didn’t ask at all.

“In this case, let’s go back first. If we go to find the black liquid pool, then we will go to Nine Peaks Mountain to find you.”

“Remember to bring salt.” Nagu warned repeatedly.

“I can’t forget. Then, goodbye.” Ren Baqian arched his hands.

After going out for a certain distance, the vine bottle gourd asked: “Just take care of it, can the black liquid pool really pick up salt?”

“It’s not scouring, it’s refining. As for whether it can be refined and harmless, it depends on the situation.” Ren Baqian said. I’m not too sure in my heart, I can only say half and half.

“It would be great if that.” Vine bottle gourd was a little excited.

“This matter must be approved by Your Majesty.” Ren Baqian said at a moderate pace.

“As long as there is a way to manage things, Your Majesty will definitely support it.” Vine Bottle Gourd said. “There will definitely be official rewards.”

Ren Baqian grinned. This is one of the reasons why he asked about it. Now that you are here, you can’t always be a steward in the animal garden, right? Or just get some things from Earth to make some money to satisfy?

If it were in an ancient world similar to China, he might really do that. There is nothing wrong with being laid back.

But this World has too many unknowns. And without status, you can’t understand much.

For example, that Qilin, he has not seen it again until now. I heard that there is someone in the Imperial Palace in charge.

In addition, in this powerful world, the difference between himself and others makes it difficult for him to feel safe. And status obviously brings a certain sense of security.
