With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

Chapter 320 Uncle Wang, I’m here to weigh the salt!

Sister Chunyan took Zhou Yue to the side of an old lady who was probably around 40 or 50 years old.

When she saw the person coming, Aunt Sun had a gentle smile on her face.

"It's Chunyan girl. The salt has been stored in the warehouse. Just weigh as much as you want!"

While she was talking, Aunt Sun did not stop working at all.

At this time, Aunt Sun was filtering sea water to remove impurities in the water.

Aunt Sun held a small bamboo winnowing basket in her hand, with several thick layers of gauze spread on top.

This small dustpan and gauze can be used to filter the seawater preliminarily.

After filtering the seawater for a period of time, some dirt visible to the naked eye will remain on the gauze.

The filtered seawater is poured into the salt fields.

Zhou Yue was a little curious. Although the sea water looked clean, it still contained many impurity ions.

Zhou Yue soon understood the principle behind this: the concentration of seawater can be increased by drying salt.

When the concentration of salt water is too high, it will crystallize out in the form of crystals.

A salt field is a place where the concentration of brine increases through sunlight exposure, allowing the salt to precipitate.

Zhou Yue secretly sighed in her heart, the wisdom of the working people is indeed infinite!

To be honest, the scale of this salt field is quite large, and it looks like the output is quite good.

Zhou Yue followed Sister Chunyan to the salt warehouse in the village.

This is a collective adobe house in the village. There are many winnowing baskets placed in the yard of this adobe house.

There is a thick layer of salt on the winnowing basket, which is drying out the moisture so that it can be bagged and stored in the warehouse.

At the door of the warehouse, there was an old man dozing off on a stool.

"Uncle Wang, I'm here to weigh the salt!"

After being awakened by Sister Chunyan, Uncle Wang opened the door of the warehouse and took out a large scale specially used for weighing things.

After Zhou Yue followed Sister Chunyan into the warehouse, she found many cloth bags neatly stacked in the warehouse, and the bags were filled with salt.

The quality of this salt is quite good. Although it is not as good as modern refined salt, it is very good in this era.

The salt in this warehouse is actually the common property of the village.

Almost every household will contribute manpower and help out at the salt drying field.

Those who come to help with the work will record the working hours.

The salt in the warehouse will be distributed to everyone according to the working hours of each household.

There are many people in the base, and many people go to the salt fields to help with the work.

When the comrades were not going out to sea, they went to the salt fields to help and earn more working hours.

Because the comrades in the base area did more work, they received more salt.

Sister Chunyan weighed a total of more than 200 kilograms of salt, which was what they had accumulated over the past month.

Now weigh all the salt and bring it back to the base later.

Tomorrow we will drive a big truck to deliver supplies to the victims, and we will take the salt with us.

These disaster victims not only lacked food, but also salt.

In places that are not close to the sea, it is naturally difficult to get salt.

These two hundred kilograms of salt really look like a lot, enough to fill several large cloth bags.

If we only eat at the base, it would take a long time even for more than a hundred people.

The basic salt intake for a person per day is about 3 grams.

With so many people in the base, they could only eat less than a pound of salt a day.

If we save a little of these two hundred grams of salt, it will be enough for the base to use for a year.

But if we distribute it to the disaster victims, it won’t be enough!
