My deep sea fishery

"What about your labor? How time-consuming? What about the equipment? Are these without money?" Xiang Yang asked.

In fact, human labor is really not very valuable, this machine can be operated by Fatty Zuo himself.

Xiang Yang watched the whole process of Zuo Fatty's refining salt. First, it was heated and concentrated, cooled and crystallized, filtered, and then distilled. At this time, the snow-white coarse salt was refined.

The whole process was too cumbersome, and Xiang Yang felt that if he really wanted to refine salt, he could make edible salt in the sun.

In fact, many coastal fishing villages have the habit of drying salt on the beach.

The use of salt in our country has a history of thousands of years.

The salt man in "Zhou Li" was the official position in charge of salt affairs during the Zhou Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty even set up salt officials to manage the salt tax, and subsequent feudal dynasties have regarded salt tax as an important source of finance, and this is also the case abroad.

Many peoples in ancient times often caused wars for salt. Among them, in 98 AD, in order to seize the resources of salt, a war broke out between the two tribes of the Germanic people, Hatt and Hillenpung, and the Hatt tribe was extinct.

In the history of salt development, it has undergone many changes, mainly divided into three major changes.

The first time it is edible, people basically have no standard for the composition of table salt during this period. As long as it is salty, it doesn’t matter whether it is dirty or bitter. This salt is directly extracted from seawater or brine. Yes, without any other treatment, the quality is very poor, and it also contains some harmful substances.

However, even today, there is still an ancient well in Zigong City that still continues the ancient method of making salt. That ancient well has now become an intangible cultural heritage and is an important means for us to understand the ancient method of making salt.

Xiang Yang knows the soil method of refining salt, but he certainly would not recommend the villagers to use this method of salt refining.

Because this method of refining salt first needs to prepare brine, its raw material is brine, which is divided into two types: yellow brine and black brine. Yellow brine is a brown solution containing a large amount of barium ions, and the salt flavor is cooked with it. Bitter and poisonous.

Black halogen is a black solution, which contains a large amount of sulfate ions, which is also a substance that is not good for the human body.

Although only the yellow bittern and the black bittern are blended together in a certain ratio, the barium ion and the sulfate ion will combine to form a white precipitate. Finally, removing the precipitate can make the brine slag clear.

However, there are often some residues that cannot be removed. It is actually no problem to eat such salt by yourself, but the Bureau of Industry and Commerce will not agree to it if it is to be sold on the market.

The second change is that the whiter the better. After the industrial revolution in the 19th century, science and technology have developed greatly, and the level of salt extraction has also been greatly improved. People's requirements for edible salt have changed, and the standard is color. The whiter the better, the finer the particles the better, the higher the purity, the better, and the less impurities the better, which is the kind of salt that most of us are eating now.

The third change was only proposed in recent years and has not yet been widely popularized. The approximate time point is that in recent years, a large number of medical studies have shown that excessive salt intake can easily cause high blood pressure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. One salt concept.

The meaning is to avoid excessive intake of salt. Experts suggest that each person's daily salt intake should be less than 5 grams. It is best to eat coarse tea and light rice without salt. Therefore, low sodium salt was invented, or simply use potassium. Various health care products companies have also launched various health salt products in sequence. A pack of normal salt-sized health salt is about a dozen yuan cheaper and hundreds of thousands yuan more expensive. Is it true health care or fake health care?

Xiang Yang feels that he can also do that kind of health-care salt. The production method is not difficult. In fact, it is still a common method of drying salt, which many people in the village understand.

After the sea salt is exposed to the sun, you only need to add some trace elements that are beneficial to the human body, which can supplement the human body trace elements, even if it is a healthy balanced salt.

Xiang Yang didn't hide it, he said his thoughts when he thought of it.

Fatty Zuo was very excited, and rubbed his hands, "Brother Yang, what healthy salt you said can really sell for a few yuan per jin?"

Even the head of the village Zuo was slightly excited. Salt is not as good as seafood. Once the seafood in a piece of sea is finished, it will take a long, long time for the fishery resources to be enriched next time.

And what about salt?

See the blue sea outside?

Any scoop of sea water out of it is salt.

It is simply an inexhaustible golden sea.

Xiang Yang thought for a while and felt that he couldn't afford a bigger ship in a short time. Rather than keeping the remaining money in his hands and waiting for depreciation, it would be better to throw it out to do business. If he succeeds, he can still make money. That's the case.

"A few bucks per catty is the least. The formula is troublesome. Although it is nothing more than adding potassium, iron and other elements to the salt, we don’t know the exact matching weight, but if I really want to dry it, I can use the formula. Ask my teacher." Xiang Yang said in a deep voice.

"Brother Yang, shall we do it?" Zuo Fatty asked in surprise.

Even some of the crew on the Xiangyang ship are ready to move.

Village Chief Zuo slapped Fatty Zuo’s head, “Fuck, fuck, fuck, you know how to do it, do you have money?” After speaking, the village chief Zuo looked at Xiang Yang with a serious face, “Xiao Yang, you really have Planning to dry salt?"

Xiang Yang nodded calmly, "Why don't you make money if you have money?" This time now coincides with the historical turning point of the third salt reform. When the new and old things alternate, it is often the time when snakes and dragons have the greatest opportunities. I’m on it, and I’m fully qualified and able to do it, so why not do it?

"Okay, okay, okay." Zuo village chief said three good words, "Surely salt drying needs a lot of land, right? Which stretch of beach do you want to tell me, I will hold a village meeting to Let you rent the lowest rent."

Xiang Yang smiled, "Thank you for the first time, Chief Zuo." In fishing villages like Yanlong Village, the beaches on the seaside are actually public. Which section of the beach belongs to the group? Which section of the beach belongs to which group? They are all clearly divided. There are eight teams in Yanlong Village, divided into three brigades.

For example, if Xiang Yang wants to rent a public beach in the first group, 60% of the annual rent will be evenly distributed to each household in the sixth group, and the remaining 40% will be Ten percent will stay in the account of the sixth group, ten percent will go to the brigade department, and the rest will be handed over to the village department.

"Don't rush to thank you, I have conditions." Zuo Village Chief said.

Xiang Yang nodded, "Say it." Xiang Yang thought that the village chief just wanted to let Fatty Zuo come in and get some shares, as long as it was not too much, he could agree.
