Chapter 139: 139th Salt Lake
Chapter 139 Chapter 139 Salt Lake
Yang Lan'er looked at the lake in the distance, and she guessed that it might be a salt lake.
In her previous life, she went to the Chaerhan Salt Lake in the south of the Qaidam Basin. The scene is a bit similar, except that the lake in front of her is a smaller version.
Yang Lan'er shook her head: "Master, I don't know either. We'll see later and we'll understand."
Even if you know it, you can't say it.
Tan Anjun nodded, took out a pot of stewed wolf meat and some baked potatoes from the ring, and said to his little wife: "Miss, you are right, let's go and have a look after dinner, but the color of this lake is pure blue. .”
"Well, my husband, the weather is a bit abnormal today."
Yang Lan'er feels very stuffy and hot. Today she was a little out of breath when walking and climbing the mountain. It should rain these few days.
Tan Anjun looked at the white clouds in the sky and said with a smile: "Well, it should rain in a few days, but I don't know how long or how big it will rain?"
I really hope that the rain will be heavier and longer, so that the ground can be completely watered. If so, the people who fled famine this year can return to their hometowns to replant the previous season's grain, and there will be more or less harvest in autumn.
Otherwise, how many people will starve to death and freeze to death this winter, and the border will not be stable.
Yang Lan'er finished eating the potatoes in his hand, and said: "I hope it will rain more, the second brother has been waiting for the rain, he wants to reclaim all the wasteland in the valley and plant food."
Her second brother has already mentioned several times in front of her that when the house is built, he will start to open up wasteland, and if it rains before July, he will plant all the wasteland with grain.
"Well, that's a good idea. After the house is completed, let Zeng Qingsheng and others open up wasteland together. Let the second brother be responsible for the arrangement. I don't know anything about farming, so let's help."
Tan Anjun is 100% in favor of growing grain. Due to the drought in the past two years, the food in Daying Country must be in short supply, and the price of grain will remain high. Don't panic if you have grain in hand.
Yang Lan'er nodded and said: "In this case, let's go back tomorrow after visiting the lake below. If it rains heavily in the deep mountains and dense forests, it will be troublesome."
The most important thing is that the safety in the mountains cannot be guaranteed under heavy rain.
Tan Anjun nodded.
The couple, plus a tiger, took a break after lunch, and then headed towards the lake in the basin.
Yang Lan'er took the hand of the cheap husband and ran forward, full of surprises: "Sister, what a beautiful scenery, what a beautiful lake, let's hurry up."
The two ran to the lake, and saw a strip of white gauze several meters wide around the lake. They squatted down and looked closely, but it was white fine sand crystals.
Yang Laner confirmed her guess when she arrived at the lake.
Tan Anjun twisted a grain of fine sand into his mouth, tasted it, took a sip, and exclaimed: "My lady, these white crystals on the shore are salt."
Looking at the salt under his feet, Tan Anjun was shocked beyond words. Everything was like a dream, and he felt that all this was unreal. When did salt be so worthless?
Yang Lan'er twirled the white crystal in her hand, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "This is green salt, but it's not table salt, and it needs to be processed again."
Tan Anjun squatted down and looked at the salt again. Some were pure white, some had impurities, and he couldn't understand it: "Lady, I see that the quality of these salts is better than the salt we bought in the county."
Yang Lan'er thought about it for a while. Indeed, the coarse salt eaten by ordinary people is not as good as the salt in front of them, but it cannot be compared with the refined salt eaten by the rich, honored and officials.
"Sir, if our family eats it, the salt needs to be reprocessed for the health of the family."
Tan Anjun smiled and said, "Of course."
