Chapter 15: Sea salt is better than snow, price is better than platinum

When the full fishing boat gradually approached the shore, the old Ford, who was standing on the reefs by the sea, was already in tears...

Why is his own master so worry-free?

When he heard the news that the Earl was sailing away, he almost fainted again, and he was a sin...

Fortunately, Old Ford had already experienced hardships in Bruno's countless absurd actions. If there was no big impact, he would not have fainted again.

As soon as the ship was level with the shore, Bruno jumped out of the ship and landed steadily on the shore.

"Old butler... I was in a hurry to leave and forgot to notify you." Bruno felt embarrassed when facing the old man over 50 years old.

"As long as the master comes back safely, it's fine... Luo Bida fools the master all day long, and this time he goes out to sea to catch fish must have been bewitched by him. This man is really hateful. Please punish him severely..." Old Ford glared at the close male servant who followed Bruno with his head down.

Luo Bida was originally a little dizzy due to the bumps of the sea storm, but when he heard the old butler clicked his name, he immediately woke up a little and said quickly: "Sir, I really don't care about villains..."

"That's right!" Bruno immediately responded, "Lobida did something wrong, I will criticize him in the future, but... because we caught a lot of fish and shrimp in the sea of ​​fruit, let him spare this time..."

"Fish was caught?" Old Ford was stunned.

"Yes, isn't that full of deck?" Bruno gestured at the fishing boat behind him with his fingers.

Previously, Old Ford was busy talking to Bruno but didn't pay much attention to the fishing boat, but after Bruno mentioned this, he realized that the fish were piled on the deck of the fishing boat.

Old Ford's eyes widened, his face full of incredible.

"This...how is this possible..."

"Thanks to Lobida's idea..." Bruno patted Lobida's shoulder with a smile.

Luo Bida's body shook suddenly, "This is all the master's credit..."

Old Ford didn't have time to pay attention to the master and servant who were praising each other. At this time, his sight had been attracted by the full harvest on the fishing boat. Going out to sea... can he catch so many fish?

He remembered that he had heard people say that fishing... was entirely due to the protection of the sea god!

Therefore, in Old Ford's impression, fishing should not be such an easy thing...

"What are you still standing there? Hurry up... Help bring all these fish down..." Old Ford's voice trembled, and he ordered the serfs to transport the piles of fish and shrimp to the land.

The serfs crowded on the shore had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. When did they see so much food?

"Is there any trick to fishing this...?" Old Ford, who came to his senses, asked quickly.

"Of course there is. This time, I plan to let Lobida stay and specialize in fishing." Bruno replied.

"This is a good thing! If you can catch so many fish every time you go out to sea, then the food... will not be so nervous." Old Ford agreed.

On the side, Lobida was in pain and joy at this time.

The master handed over such an important task to him, which must have made him extremely excited, but... when he thought of the wind and waves and bumps in the sea, Luo Bida was a little scared.

"Since the master gives me this opportunity, the younger one must do his best!" Luo Bida said with a tough bullet.

Since they have already arrived, there is basically no need for Bruno to worry about the next thing. Serfs will carry the fish on the ship and then sort them out, pickle, or dry them. However, no matter what method is used to deal with it, the fishing catch at sea will definitely become one of the important food sources in Idal in the future.

"Let's go to the salt farm to have a look." Bruno suddenly suggested while walking.

After dealing with the issue of food, the next issue is naturally the issue of funds. The seawater salt production is the most important source of wealth in Idal. Bruno naturally has to go and see it in person to rest assured.

"I will lead you." Old Ford volunteered.

As the steward of Idal, all the funds in the territory were handled by Old Ford himself before, so he was naturally extremely familiar with the salt farm by the sea.

The salt field is actually not far from the dock, and you don’t need to ride a horse. You can get there in a few steps.

There are a lot of serfs required for operation of the salt farm. You can hear loud noises from a distance.

The method of making salt in seawater in this world is still very backward, and it is not much different from the method of making salt in ancient China a long time ago. They are boiled salt in seawater.

Although boiling salt and drying salt sound different, they are completely different in actual operations.

The manpower required to cook salt is very large. First, someone needs to be responsible for picking up sea water, and then someone needs to cut trees and chop firewood in the mountains. Steam the sea water in a pot. After steaming and cooking over and over again, a little bit of salt can be made.

It is precisely because the investment required to make salt is huge that in many places, high-quality salt is regarded as "platinum" by many people. A small bucket of salt can be replaced with a house, which is a well-known hard currency.

As for salt drying, it seems... it has not appeared in this world yet...

However, Bruno knew that the sea water was drying salt. After all, this was high school knowledge in the compulsory education stage and it was necessary to take the exam.

only……

"Old Ford, within the jurisdiction of Idal, there is still a place with stronger light than here?"

The old butler thought for a while before saying, "Yes, from here, there is a coastal mudflat that is not blocked by reefs and cliffs. It is full of light on weekdays and is no longer inhabited by people."

Bruno couldn't help laughing. He really wanted to doze off, so someone gave him a pillow: "Really? That's a good place to dry salt!"

"Dan...salt?" Old Ford was obviously stunned for a moment, but he didn't know that this was his master's fantasy idea.

During these days, his master brought him too much impact, which made Old Ford a little at a loss.

Before this, the master's nonsense was really simple nonsense. Apart from wasting money, it would not bring any good changes to Idal.

But from these days, every Bruno's nonsense would bring some changes to Idal's tie.

Just before Bruno returned to the voyage, he had just received a letter from Idal City. It is said that under the management of the Shabi guy, the appearance of Idal City is still not completely new, but it is much stronger than before. At least... there is no need to worry about stepping on the grains and reincarnation after going out.

In addition, when Bruno went out of the city this time, he not only picked a large amount of seaweed, but also went out to sea with Lobida to catch a large amount of fish and shrimp, greatly expanding the grain reserves of Idal.

Although the reason for this all seems to be because his master wants to plan a more massive plan for prodigality - building a sky garden.
