Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 42 Her hairline is about to fall!
In the small courtyard of the Li family, everyone in the family was busy doing their own thing, and no one said a word.
Even the two little ones who usually like to hang around Lin Taowei, seeing grandma looking bad today, were lying quietly against the window of the west wing.
Lin Tao went to the stove shed to grab a handful of grass and returned to the main room carrying the basket of copper plates.
After twisting the straw rope, I started to thread the money.
Here, a bunch of money means fifty.
A pennies is one hundred.
Guanqian refers to one thousand.
Today's fried fish scales sold for one hundred and twenty-six cents.
There were about thirty or forty coins among them, which was the reward given by that stupid boy Li Si who thought he was doing something wrong.
This money will be returned to others in the future.
Calculating, I can get about eighty or ninety cents from selling fish scales. In terms of profit, it is already pretty good.
After all, the cost is only sixty cents for the fat, two cents for the fish scales, and three cents for the spread.
What's more, the lard bought for 60 yuan can be used several times!
It’s just... Lin Tao looked at the kang with only one straw mat.
The night is getting colder. How can she resist the cold autumn night with her righteousness?
Look at my thin clothes again.
She really didn't want to stuff grass into her clothes to keep warm like the original owner remembered.
And above the head, there is this unique hollow roof!
During the rainy season, this house looks like a water curtain hole.
And food!
Although I ate rice in a short period of time.
But I almost forgot what salt tastes like!
If you don't eat salt for a long time, your body will suffer from weakness in the limbs, skeletal muscle contraction and nerve conduction problems.
What follows is systemic edema, decreased digestion, and even life-threatening conditions.
A thought flashed through Lin Tao's mind: Why not just die?
Death is not difficult, the question is whether you can go back!
She couldn't even understand that it was also a time travel, and it was either a space or a system.
What about her? Nothing! It all depends on her own hands!!
Thinking of this series of problems to be solved, Lin Tao scratched her head in frustration.
When I opened my hands, I saw several hairs in my palms.
Her hairline is about to fall apart!
Is it true that no one wants to travel back in time to take over her script? She tried her best to survive for seven episodes, but without a substitute, she was worried that she would not survive the eighth episode.
Keep the measly one tael and six hundred and fifty-two penny.
Lin Tao stood up and straightened her clothes!
If you can’t go back, you have to live well!
Let’s solve the salt problem first!
After leaving the main room, Lin Tao called Li Er and Li Si over.
"You two go cut some reeds and come back."
Brothers, look at me and I look at you. Go out obediently.
Lin Tao went to the row room in the east house and took a look at Li San's injuries.
The wounds that opened yesterday have scabbed over again. Fortunately, the wounds are normal and there is no redness or swelling.
Back in the yard, Xiao Li Qian and Xiao Linglan gathered around.
"Grandma, tell us a story."
Little Linglan, who was silent, had a pair of big expectant eyes, full of stars.
Lin Tao smiled and continued talking about Journey to the West from the last episode.
About four-quarters of an hour later, Li Er and Li Si came back carrying reeds on their backs.
"Okay, grandma has to be busy for a while, and then I'll tell you about it after dinner."
The two little ones clapped their hands happily and went to sit on the steps obediently.
"Mom? What are you doing with these reeds?"
"Make salt."
She had inquired about it and found out that the salt sold in salt shops in the town was not cheap.
There are so many things that need to be purchased at home, and it is not worth spending money on something that you can make yourself, like salt.
"Here, salt can still be used for making things? No, doesn't it have to be stolen from the toilet secretly?"
As soon as Li Si mentioned this, Lin Tao found some fragments from the original owner's memory.
Co-author, there are two ways for people to eat salt.
Or, buy it from the official salt shop in Qingyuan Town.
Or, get up early and go to the dry toilet to collect nitrate salt.
That's it, if you don't pay attention, you will either fight with someone or you won't be able to grab it!
It wasn't until later that every family would dig a hole to build a latrine, that it stopped.
However, with fewer people using dry toilets, there has been less nitrate and salt.
Even though that thing is boiled, it is also made from human excrement, so no matter how you think about it, it is a little bit weird.
Compared with that, the potassium salt extracted from reed is more acceptable.
Lin Tao went to the stove shed to get a big iron pot, rolled up reeds and started cooking it inside.
Even though they carried two large bundles of reeds, the ash from the burned plants was not even enough to fill a pot.
Lin Tao picked out the large pieces from the ashes of plants and crushed them with stones.
Next to him, Li Er pulled Li Si into the corner and whispered: "Old Si! Is our mother sick? How can we mistake plant ashes for salt?"
Li Si rolled his eyes at Li Er and continued to watch the old lady's movements without saying a word.
Here, Lin Tao added water to the finely ground plant ash, and then simply filtered it, leaving a large pot of gray-black plant ash liquid.
"Don't stand there, lift the pot onto the stove."
Li Si dragged his second son over and worked together to put the pot on the stove.
Mrs. Xu had a sharp eye and added firewood to the stove.
Soon after the fire started, the liquid from the plant ash was boiled.
Lin Tao thought the stove was too hot, so she went to the courtyard to enjoy the cool air.
Li Er whispered: "Come on! Salt can be made so easily, and can it be sold so expensive?"
"Second brother is not just a younger brother. Do you think you can do it better than my mother? I think if my mother says she can do it, then she will definitely be the same."
Mrs. Xu also said: "If mother says it will happen, it will definitely happen."
"Haha! Just wait! Boil the water dry and you won't be so stubborn."
Lin Tao, who had been tired for a whole day, was too lazy to argue with that idiot.
Until in the stove shed, there was an exclamation that almost lifted the roof.
"Mother! Mother! Come quickly!"
"It's done! It's really done!"
"Mom! Mom, come and see me!"
Just hearing this cry, those who didn't know it might have thought she was dead!
"What a fuss!"
Lin Tao entered the stove shed and looked at the white-gray lumps on the edge of the pot, feeling a little dissatisfied.
Because the filtering was not fine enough, there was still a little carbon powder in the potassium salt block.
But thinking about it is better than nothing, so forget it.
"When it's done, take the pot down."
After cooling slightly, Li Si used a knife to scrape off the potassium salt block.
Li Er couldn't wait to put the salt block into the stone pound.
Until it was ground into fine powder, a group of people just knelt on the ground and looked at the potassium salt in the stone pound.
"Salt! Our family can finally eat salt!"
This is quite true.
In the memory of the original owner, he would only buy a small amount of salt in spring, summer and autumn, when the herbs on the mountain were easy to dig.
In winter, if you want to eat salt, you can only steal it secretly from other people's dry toilets.
Lin Tao grabbed some salt and sprinkled it into the fish fillet porridge, and asked Zhu to put the rest in a bamboo tube.
Then he sent the second elder and his wife to invite the second elder to come down for dinner.
Maybe it was because of the salt at home today, but Li Er came back very quickly.
Just like yesterday, everyone had a bowl of fish fillet porridge.
The two elders frowned and took a sip. They were both shocked!
"Lin, Mrs. Lin, you..."
"Do you want to send us, the old couple, to earthen jar graves?" This chapter has been completed!
