MTL - Kitchen Xiuzhen-Chapter 11 [11] Salt is born!

Salt, on earth, has been a must-have for chefs since ancient times.

This is not only an indispensable taste in people's diet, but also an indispensable material component in the human body.

Because its main ingredient is sodium chloride, it is a neutral inorganic salt that shows the taste.

In the diet, the taste is salty and cold, and it has the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and moisturizing, nourishing kidneys, laxative, insecticidal and anti-inflammatory, emetic and antidiarrheal, etc. This is the table salt.

There can be no monosodium glutamate and no sugar in the dish, but it can never be without salt.

However, the intake of salt in this world can be through spices, monsters, etc., and because of the toxic nature of seawater, the seasoning is not popular at all!

Grunt!

Soon the fresh water prepared by Luo Xiu's iron bucket was boiled.

Luo Xiu directly picked up the sea water and poured it into the iron bucket along the clean towels on the iron bucket that were responsible for filtering impurities.

The first layer of towels can filter out impurities and sediment in the seawater.

Ye Weilan on the side looked curious, his brother ... Where did you learn this weird thing?

"Brother, you ... are you?"

"Extracting salt from seawater, you do n’t understand, anyway, as long as you know, with this 'salt', our Jiuzhong Building will become the largest restaurant in Snow Moon City in a few days!"

Luo Xiu said quickly, Li Yuan on the side really listened, and couldn't help laughing. "The first restaurant? Jiu Zhonglou is going to change hands today, and still thinking about becoming a restaurant ?!"

"I wonder if you are ignorant? Or arrogant?"

Li Yuan shook his head, but Luo Xiu only when he didn't hear it, at this time the sea water was completely filtered.

The iron bucket continued to boil over the fire.

"Brother, why are you talking nonsense today?"

Ye Weilan shrugged his lips, but he didn't believe it: "Big restaurant or something, you still have to pass the current difficulties before you talk about it!"

When thinking of Li Yuan's cooking skills, but those who can really make food, Ye Weilan has a headache.

The neighbors around him looked at Luo Xiu's weird percussion, and his face didn't understand.

Regarding Luo Xiu's words, he shook his head involuntarily.

Big restaurant?

That was the restaurant where the chef was sitting. There was only one in Snow Moon City ...

How easy is it!

"Relax, Jiuzhong Building will definitely stand in Snow Moon City again!"

When he said this, Luo Xiu's expression ... there was a kind of affirmation.

Ye Weilan was just about to make a couple of sentences and saw his brother's expression ... there was no reason in his heart, and he felt relieved instantly.

At this time, my brother was full of inexplicable charm.

That particular flying confidence, coupled with his slightly handsome face, has such an indescribable appeal.

Ye Weilan certainly knew that Luo Xiu was not his own brother. After all, there were brothers and sisters with different surnames ... so she had a very special feeling for Luo Xiu from an early age.

I can't say what it feels like, I just like ... staying with Luo Xiu.

"If my brother has a sense of taste and smell, he must be an amazing person, just as good as his father!"

Xiao Nizi couldn't help but say, the filtered water in the iron bucket was boiling at this time.

This iron bucket heats up much faster than the iron of the previous life.

In a matter of minutes, a bucket of water can boil directly.

The magic of this world, Luo Xiu is not less and less surprised ... After all, even practitioners, what else is impossible? !!

Grunt!

The water was boiling without filtering. When it was about to dry out, Roth immediately took the iron bucket off the stove and poured it into the prepared empty bucket.

Underneath the original iron barrel, some residues immediately remained.

This is the second filtering.

"Ok?"

Ye Weilan looked at pieces of crystal, floating in empty buckets, and couldn't help asking.

Obviously she had completely forgotten about the poisonous seawater, and her mind was full of what exactly Luo Xiu was going to do? !!

"Not yet, the last procedure!"

"Finally refined!"

In this crystal, salt is first precipitated, and then nitrate is precipitated.

That is nitrate!

When nitrate encounters oxygen, some will turn into nitrite, which is the main culprit of seawater's toxicity.

Therefore, one final step is needed-refining.

Luo Xiu uses indirect evaporation!

Heat for five minutes, then cease the fire and wait for it to cool. Heat for another five minutes, wait for it to cool down, then reheat, repeat this process all the time, and slowly evaporate the water ... What is resolved is the crystals of table salt.

Of course, the best way is to air dry.

This is also the process of many sea salt fields, and the salt produced in this way is truly perfect.

In this method of Luo Xiu, the combination of chlorine and sodium ... is not too thorough, because ... there are still some crystals of nitrate remaining.

However, Luo Xiu did it deliberately.

He used indirect evaporation, which can distinguish between nitrate and table salt ... Because the solubility of nitrate is greatly affected by temperature, and the solubility of table salt, that is, sodium chloride, is less affected by temperature.

This temperature is raised, and then the temperature is appropriately reduced, and the crystals obtained are mainly nitrates!

This involves a question of chemical saturation.

Luo Xiu carefully skimmed out the crystals of nitrate.

"No wonder there is no table salt in this world. The seawater in this world has a larger proportion than in the previous life. The content of nitrate is ten times that of the previous life!"

Luo Xiu was a little stingy.

But ... this is better.

Luo Xi flashed a hint of coldness, looking at Li Yuan, who was also busy at the desk, and could not help but sneer at the corner of his mouth ... such a thing as corpse destruction, Luo Xi was definitely looking for Li Yuan to settle accounts.

Although some metal nitrates are heated by oxygen, they will turn into nitrites ... but this is also what Rothius needs.

About an hour, Luo Xiu's sea water refining salt ... Finally, it was done.

"carry out!"

Luo Xiu snapped his fingers, and there was a hint of contentment on his face.

"That's what ... is salt?"

Ye Weilan looked at the bright white crystals that Luo Xiu hanged out carefully, and asked there.

"Yes, try it!"

Luo Xiu took a handful of mischief and handed it to Ye Weilan's mouth ...

"Ok?"

Ye Weilan looked at Luo Xiu's fingertips with a little doubt. Ye Weilan said that he was not curious if he was not curious: "Can you ... can you eat it?"

"of course!"

Indiscriminately, Luo Xiu applied salt to Ye Weilan's slightly moist lips.
