Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 457: Secret of the salt mine

Why do tribal people value salt so much?

In the absence of salt, in fact, it can survive, but after the salt, the strong ** is completely excited. ☆ →,

Whether it is the people here or the tribe over the sea, they believe that salt can strengthen their physiques, strengthen people's minds, and is a gift from heaven. Only with it can life have passion.

The tribe fought for territories and prey, and salt was also one of the factors that provoked the war.

Wa Cha said that the salt mine occupied by the tribe was discovered hundreds of years ago. The first person who discovered the salt mine failed to hold the salt mine, and even the tribe was battered. I heard that in the end the entire tribe moved to The town was gone, and there was no way to defeat the other tribes, and in order to prevent further blows, they ran away.

After that, the battle for salt mines became fierce, and Flaming Horn Tribe did not give up this piece of fat. Finally, it crowded out other people and grabbed a position, but it had to be monopolized. It was not possible because of their ability at that time. There are few people, less than a thousand, who can grab a place. In addition to their own strength, Tai River Tribe plays a big role in it. This kind of Flaming Horn person has always remembered that he has also cooperated with Safe River people over the years.

After hundreds of years, the competition for salt mines has never stopped, but the five tribes have not changed. It seems that the front has been unified, and no one is allowed to intervene. So inconsistently, the outside looks like they have an agreement and the five tribes are cooperating, but in fact, there is a secret inside.

The five tribes occupying the salt mine can have fewer people, but definitely not more people!

"That salt mine is a treasure!" Wa Cha sighed. This is one of the reasons why he has always stressed the need to grab salt mines.

"Elder, do you know Chi Lu?" Wa Cha asked.

Chi Lu? Shao Xuan thought about it and nodded, "Have heard it. I just heard someone else mention it when I entered the city, and I didn't know much."

Chi Lu Tribe is a tribe that believes in salt. Their tribe has many legends about salt. It is said that the earliest salt was discovered by them. It is said that an ancestor of Chi Lu Tribe saw a strange animal. The animal took him to a lake, and then he saw a miracle. The miracle mentioned is a salt lake.

The Totem of Chi Lu Tribe is that strange-looking animal called the "salt beast". No one has seen that animal yet. Some people say that it is a fictional Chi Lu person, but the Chi Lu people have always believed There is salt beast existence.

What is true and false? No one can tell clearly, but later the six major tribes rose to build the city and became the noble Slave Master, which also led to changes in other tribes.

The salt lakes of Chi Lu Tribe were seized, and the salt lakes occupied by the six tribes were unable to **** them back. The entire tribe was dispersed. The scattered Chi Lu people entered the six towns and sometimes made salt for the nobles. I made a living from it, but in the past few years I heard that the nobles found a new salt spring. Some people called Chi Lu Tribe to build the city there, named Chi Lu Salt City, heard the sound went to Chi Lu city Salt City.

Of course, Wa Cha mentioned Chi Lu people. It is not for Shao Xuan to understand the history of aggrieved people in Chi Lu.

"Chi Lu people's salt-making skills, like Gongjia family's metal forging technology, are well-known among the tribes. Even Slave Master, please ask people to make salt. Most people are looking for Chi Lu people. The salt made by the Chi Lu people is very expensive, and most of them are used by the nobles. Others want to buy it, and it takes several times more money. ”Wa Cha said.

Shao Xuan can understand this. Just like golden grain produced by golden grain farmstead of Ji Ju, they are all famous everywhere, from Chengyi to Shanye tribe.

"But, except for the five tribes we occupy, there is no one who knows that the salt from our salt mine does not need to extract industrial arts in detail. The salt obtained is better than theirs. Many more! "With that said, the Wa Cha faces are all proud, and their tribe can seize such good resources, of course, it is worth being proud.

No wonder the salt mine is rarely mentioned, this is deliberately desalinating the existence of the salt mine, so that fewer people are aware of it. Even tribe people, more than half of them do not know exactly what the salt mine really looks like. The people of the tribe were only told that the salt they used should not be traded externally. If they wanted to trade, they should find someone who was responsible for this kind of trade, and they would naturally arrange it. The tribal people have always followed this instruction and have never made an exception.

It's not just Flaming Horn Tribe, the other four tribes, Liehu, Sen, Shanfeng, and Safe River, they all do the same thing and hide it.

High-quality salt can indeed sell for a higher price. It can even step on the famous Chi Lu people and change more things from the six cities, but the danger is equally great.

If it is sold, such a thing will surely provoke six cities. With their style of work, they will definitely get involved in the salt mine. Chi Lu people are the lessons learned! Therefore, the five tribes will not leak the news at all! !!

Because of this, the five tribes will abide by the same rules after discovering the quality of the salt mine, and will never let the new tribes intervene or release the news.

As for the salt traded to other tribes ... even in such an excellent salt mine, there is a difference between salt and salt.

"We pick salt in the salt cave. The top of the salt cave will be put aside after picking. Those are good salt and are reserved for our tribe. We will secretly transport Hui tribe / return to tribe in the future. Others have found the difference here. "

"The salt at the top of the cave you said is what we usually eat?" Shao Xuan asked.

"Yes, those are the ones. When you look at them, are those salt pieces a little red?" Wa Cha asked Shao Xuan.

"Indeed." At that time, Shao Xuan found that the salt pieces that he had assigned were different in color from those he had seen before, but the taste was very good. Everyone was assigned the same. At that time, Shao Xuan didn't think about it. There is a hidden mystery inside.

"The salt from our salt mine is stronger than the salt produced by Chi Lu people and the salt produced by the new salt springs of Slave Masters. It has a strong sense of vigor, and usually has nothing else when barbecued. Add, just add these salt, it ’s good taste and good mood. After eating, let Warriors eat unsalted barbecue. It may not have such a big appetite. We once exchanged some salt from Anba City to try However, the taste is not comparable to the salt of our salt mine! Sometimes the trading team that goes out will change some salt back, but the replacement is of lower quality and cover it. "Wa Cha thinks that the tribe is very clever. Not eye-catching, but also cover.

For tribal people. That's not meat, but strength! And salt plays an important role in it.

"The salt at the top of the salt cave was collected for my own use. Then salt from other places was traded?" Shao Xuan asked.

"Yes, the salt we traded is from other places in the cave. Although the salt quality is OK, it is not much better than the top. Some places pick up more salt. At the same time, everyone will not use it. The salt produced will also be sold to others. "

The tribe people do n’t save money and save the inferior things to themselves, but keep the better things to sell. This behavior is extremely stupid for them, so they leave it to their own. They are the best, and the ones that are sold are of worse quality.

This is true for Flaming Horn people, as are the other four tribes. Especially in the salt caves they dug, the salt mined near the salt cave ground. No piece will be left alone. This secret five tribes hold the same mind.

So, except for the five tribes that are here. Other tribe people do not know how good the salt is in this salt mine. Even if you take the salt you bought from the five tribes and trade with people in Chengyi, others will not have too many ideas. The idea will not be strong, after all. Now more and more salt springs and salt ponds are found in already. Although most of them are occupied by the six nobles, there are still some in the hands of the tribe, so that they will not run into the wild mountains all the way because of a salt mine Come.

There was an accident at the salt mine. Liehu and Forest tribe used salt to enlist some people to help them. The salt used is also less salt, the core secrets will not be revealed at all.

"Oh, Elder, you must have never seen the original salt mines we just picked." Wa Cha said, stretched his hands to the side waist, and found an beast skin bag that he took with him, which contained a wide mouth. Small pot, the pot is made of a kind of Ominous Beast animal bone, the size of a fist, and it is blocked with a wooden plug.

Wa Cha Unplug the cork, and place a clasp on the open palm with the mouth of the pot down.

When the jar was opened, Shao Xuan saw the salt block on Wa Cha's hand for the first time and thought it was a fresh piece of meat! Red and white distribution, I do n’t know if it melts a bit, looking at it even with a delicate feeling, just like a piece of meat just chopped out and washed with water again!

"This is ... salt ?!" Shao Xuan took a closer look at it. If you look closely, it does have the solid texture of the crystal block. When it was first mined, the crystal stone feeling was definitely clearer, but it was carried by Wa Cha with some changes. .

Wa Cha looked at the salt stone in his hand, his eyes seemed to have a burning temperature, "This is what we picked at the top of the salt cave. When we cook again, the salt will be lighter, just like Elder The kind we got. But the people who keep the mine usually use it directly without cooking. Two days before the accident at the salt mine, I put a small piece of salt stone just out of the box and took it in the jar. I thought Put it in while cooking the broth with your brothers. "When Wa Cha said here, the hot eyes staring at the salt block cooled down, and seemed to think of the day's events.

Most of the Warriorss that go out will grind and carry salt pieces, but some are more accustomed to bringing the whole piece, like the Wa Cha stationed at the mine, they are all carrying salt piece by piece. In addition to brewing tea with some herbs, Warriors sometimes consumes a lot of energy, and puts a little salt into water canteen, and rushes to drink. This is not what they know about the theory, but because of intuition and the thirst of the body, what the body needs, they do it according to this intuition.

In addition to the salt that is usually used, hunted prey will also be salted and marinated, because the salt will make the meat less likely to rot, and it can be air-dried for longer.

I heard that some tribes who are good at weaving and dyeing cloth also deliberately buy salt of lower quality. The method of dyeing cloth involves salt, so the dyed cloth can be directly sold to those who sell it at a high price of King City. Slave Master people.

For the tribal people, salt is distributed in all matters of life. The dispute over salt land has always been existence. Even if there is no Fire Crystal and salt mine, Flaming Horn Tribe will rob it back.

"Elder, when you go to the salt mine, we will take back the salt mine, and you will see more salt. When we sleep in the salt cave, we dream of all these pieces of salt Stone. ”Wa Cha put the salt block in his hand carefully back into the jar, and licked his palm, thinking about it, suddenly said,“ I dreamed about Fire Crystal yesterday, but I forgot all about it when I woke up, I think, if If we continue to dig down the salt cave, maybe we can see Fire Crystal.

They usually dig along the horizontal line to dig, and then continue to dig down after mining, but the mining method on the fox side is different, maybe, they have to dig down before they finish mining.

Shao Xuan thinks this idea is also possible. The Fire Crystal he found in Bat Mountain sky pit that year, except for those in sky pit, many of them are deep in the mountains.

Perhaps, salt in salt mines is different and related to Fire Crystal. With so many salt mines, how many Fire Crystal are in or under the mountain?

"Three days later, right?" Wa Cha asked.

Because of the injury, this time Zheng Luo didn't want Wa Cha to follow. He didn't call him at the meeting, but the weapon assigned to Wa Cha was kept. Zheng Luo wanted to wait until he recovered.

"Well, three days later, we will go there separately from the Safe River people. We will go in three lanes." Shao Xuan said.

Wa Cha grabbed his head, he didn't want to miss the action, "I went up the mountain to find the leader, and now I am almost recovering from already, I will definitely be able to go out with the team together in three days!"

Looking at Wa Cha going up the mountain, Shao Xuan didn't follow it, but went to the duck shed.

The green fat duck just got a head out of the duck shed and probably wanted to go out for a walk, and saw Shao Xuan coming over, and quickly retracted its head.

Pushing the door open, Shao Xuan saw fat ducks squatting in the duck's nest, and the duck eggs covered with large wings, the hardness of those duck eggs must be good, otherwise the fat duck squatted.

Shao Xuan walked over, regardless of the duck's blasted hair, "The wings are raised, I'll see how many eggs you grabbed."

The fat duck doesn't move, hesitates a little.

"I won't grab you, I'll see how many there are." Shao Xuan said again.

The fat duck slowly regained its wings.

"Get up and stand on the edge. You can squat this large area here, I can't see clearly." Shao Xuan waved to the side.

The fat duck is reluctant to move away.

Shao Xuan was counted. Thirty-one eggs were different in color and size. They were not grabbed from the same nest, but they were equally resistant to hatching. If they were the same as those ducklings, they would have hatched early.

"Keep working hard and hatch early."

When coming out of the duck shed, Shao Xuan found that the sky began to snow.

This year's snow came earlier. I hope there will be no blizzard in the salt mine battle. (To be continued ...)
