Chapter 78 Brewing wine and making salt!
Chapter 78 Brewing wine and making salt!
After dinner, the six of them sat outside to enjoy the sea breeze for a while, then went back to the house to rest.
Since there was no time to arrange new beds, Wen Shanshan and the others slightly modified their own beds and made a large bunk bed, where the five of them squeezed together.
Su Yuan completely ignored this.
He would never do anything to humble himself and give up his bed.
After all, Shang Shuping was not a member of his team, so providing her with food and accommodation was already the most he could do.
The next day.
Everyone got up, washed, ate something, and started working immediately.
Shang Shuping was not idle either when she saw this. She could not do things that required walking, such as collecting firewood and fetching water, but she could sit there and make a fire.
Although it was very painful to be burned by the fire and smoked, it was the only way she could show off.
If you want to stay here, you must show some effectiveness.
Otherwise, she would feel bad if she just eats and does no work.
The tasks of collecting firewood and fetching water were given to Zhang Ru and Zhu Ting, while Su Yuan took Wen Shanshan and Zheng Leyi to make "bamboo boards".
'Bamboo board' is made of bamboo strips and is used to dry cassava.
Su Yuan split the bamboo strips, and the two clever girls, Wen Shanshan and Zheng Leyi, weaved them, and soon they made four or five.
Soon, all the cassava that had been peeled yesterday was cooked.
Everyone worked together to spread the rotten cassava flat on a bamboo board and placed it under the cool shade of the trees.
Then, Su Yuan divided it into two parts.
One part was evenly sprinkled with the product fermented from raw cassava last night, and the other part was sprinkled with the product fermented from cooked cassava.
Now we just need to wait until the cassava cools down a little, and then put all the cassava into clean buckets according to the different "fermented products" and seal them for storage.
Basically, the effect can be seen in three or four days, and whether the winemaking can be successful depends on the follow-up.
Looking at the bamboo board full of cassava, everyone admired it for a while with a sense of accomplishment.
Su Yuan said at this time:
"Okay, let it cool down here for a while, let's do something else!"
——"Okay!" Wen Shanshan and the other three responded in unison.
Shang Shuping, who was a beat slow to react, was stunned and looked full of emotion.
Why is there such a big gap between the two groups?
That's the gap!
On the other hand, whenever someone wants to do something, they have to argue for a while or even quarrel first, right?
What about here?
Su Yuan said this, and everyone agreed happily.
In terms of execution and efficiency, there is a world of difference.
As a boss, she has a deeper understanding of the gap within her team!
Whenever there are two project teams in a company that make competing plans for a project, the project team with better cohesion and atmosphere will definitely be the winner in the end.
Thinking of this, Shang Shuping looked at Su Yuan's back, and said to himself with full of admiration: With Su Yuan's leadership and ability, he can shine in any industry.
"Shang Shuping, hurry up, we need your help with the next job!" Su Yuan suddenly turned around and said.
Shang Shuping was stunned for a moment, then followed with joy in her heart.
She asked, “What’s next?”
Su Yuan led everyone to the entrance hut, took out the utensils and tools collected during this period, and asked:
"I remember your company is engaged in environmental monitoring and governance, right?"
"Yeah, how... did you know?"
Shang Shuping's eyes lit up with joy, and she thought to herself, has Su Yuan been paying attention to me for a long time?
Su Yuan packed up the tools around him and said:
"Before joining the show, I collected information about other contestants and had an impression of them."
"As I recall, the work of environmental monitoring and governance, to put it bluntly, is to use chemical methods to serve the cause of environmental protection, right?"
Shang Shuping nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"
Su Yuan nodded: "As the founder of the company, you should be a chemistry major, right?"
"Yes, I graduated from Imperial University, which is the best university in the country for chemistry!"
"Well, then you will be the main person in charge of the following work, and I will assist you. I hope you can perform at your best and not bring shame to your alma mater!"
Shang Shuping was stunned: "Uh, what are we going to do?" "Purify salt from sea water!"
Su Yuan smiled faintly and took out a small bottle from the side and said:
"This is what I purified last time. The quality isn't very good, but it's edible. However, there's too little of it. This is all I have left to eat."
"Now there are five survivors, and your teammates don't know how to take you back, so that makes six people."
"That's great. Take this opportunity to use your professional abilities to do more."
"It's just a small expense for you to stay with us!"
Shang Shuping was a little surprised when she took the salt from Su Yuan.
After hearing this, she said in a daze:
"You said you purified the salt here by yourself?"
"The fish last night was so delicious, not because of the natural salt content of marine life, but because... you sprinkled salt on it?"
Su Yuan laughed dumbly: "I thought you knew."
Shang Shuping: …
Who knows!
Anyone who tastes salty food in this environment would subconsciously think it is naturally salty, right?
Who would have thought that you could actually make salt in such a simple environment!
Next to them, Zhu Ting and Zheng Leyi couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they saw Shang Shuping's reaction.
They had a similar reaction when they first saw Su Yuan take out the salt a few days ago.
It was a little hard to believe, as if I was in another world, but in the end it all turned into admiration for Su Yuan.
At this time, Shang Shuping laughed at himself:
"Come to think of it, with my knowledge, extracting salt from seawater in this environment is a piece of cake for me!"
"But after surviving for so many days, I just didn't think of doing it. I was immersed in all kinds of negative emotions every day!"
"On the contrary, it was you, Su Yuan, who did it first!"
"Maybe this is the difference between knowledge and ability!"
Su Yuan waved his hand:
"Hey, don't underestimate yourself. Whether we can eat salt-baked lobsters next time depends on Boss Shang's knowledge!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Shuping rolled up his sleeves with confidence:
"Okay! Then I'll show you my skills!"
"Come to think of it, the reason why I chose chemistry as my major in college was because I fell in love with chemistry after doing the crude salt purification experiment!"
"I'm familiar with this!"
After saying that, he immediately took action and began to select utensils and tools, with Su Yuan helping him.
As for the task of fetching sea water, it was left to Wen Shanshan and the other three.
After a while, they brought back enough sea water and then stayed quietly by the side and watched.
Salt is something too common and ordinary to them.
Especially Zhu Ting, I come into contact with her almost every day when I am at home.
But this was the first time they had seen salt being made from sea water.
After all, not every high school has the conditions to allow students to conduct experiments, and the raw materials in the school are basically salt water, not real seawater.
The experiment went smoothly.
With the first wave of coarse salt in hand, the rest is much easier.
New salt is precipitated by different purification methods of saturated sodium chloride solution.
Shang Shuping's operation was more delicate, and with Su Yuan's help, her efficiency was much faster than when Su Yuan boiled the seawater in a tin can by himself.
It was around two in the afternoon.
Everyone had already filled two bottles of salt, and all they needed to eat salt-baked lobster was the lobster.
And this time.
Four uninvited guests came here.
