After the pot was installed, Lin Xiao showed everyone the first step of making salt on the spot.
Everyone looked dumbfounded.
This salt is a little too easy to make!
Just boil the salt stone and then fry it dry, and the salt will come out?
"These are just the first steps in making salt. The salt produced now tastes astringent and bitter. It also contains some toxic substances that our human body cannot absorb. It is inedible and we have to continue to the next step."
Lin Xiao explained in detail.
Everyone listened in confusion, only Gao Jin and Yu Xilin understood what Lin Xiao meant.
Gao Jin pulled Lin Xiao aside and asked in a low voice:
"Brother, how do you plan to purify this brine later? Use activated carbon?"
"There is no activated carbon, so we can only use ordinary charcoal for purification."
"Charcoal purification is too risky and has no technical content. It is better to use activated carbon."
Gao Jin shook his head and reminded Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao nodded awkwardly and said:
"Well, I know, but I really can't make this activated carbon."
"I can make activated charcoal!" Gao Jin slapped his chest and said boldly, "Well, I won't take advantage of you either. I'll provide the activated charcoal. How about it?"
"This is great! But this split..."
"As long as I buy a share, I'll give you 10%. I'm not greedy."
"Ten percent, isn't it too little? I feel like I've taken a big advantage."
Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Hey, if it weren't for you, I would still be the leader of bandits in the deep mountains and old forests! I'm very satisfied with 10%. Man, I'm not a greedy person!"
Gao Jin waved his hands.
When Lin Xiao saw this, he didn't refuse and readily agreed.
A few days later, Aunt Wu was buried.
The brothers' salt-making workshop was also officially put into use.
With the activated carbon produced by Gaojin, the entire salt making workshop is extremely efficient.
Even if Mazi's side collects salt continuously, it can't keep up with the production speed of the brothers' salt-making workshop.
In just three or four days, five to six hundred kilograms of refined salt have been produced.
The salt was not idle either, most of it was purchased by Zhou Dajun and Li Yuyan and taken away.
Lin Xiao put her extra energy into making lip balm and soap.
Everything is developing in a benign direction.
Until the day before leaving for the capital, something unexpected happened that broke Lin Xiao's peace. An unexpected person came to her door.
Lin Xiao and Gao Jin just came out of the salt making workshop.
Lin Xiao, who has been busy in the salt-making workshop these days, finally prepared the things to be sent to the capital.
No, I just came out and before I could get my footing, I met an acquaintance.
The person who came was wearing a gray gown, a blue belt around his waist, and black cloth shoes, and was followed by several men who looked like headhunters.
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, why are you here?"
After seeing the person clearly, Lin Xiao exclaimed.
Zhao Qian did not respond, but with a sullen face, he waved his hand, and the policeman behind him arrested Lin Xiao.
"Mr. Zhao, what are you doing?!"
Lin Xiao struggled.
"What am I doing? Ha!"
Zhao Qian snorted coldly, and his eyes turned cold when looking at Lin Xiao:
"How dare you ask me why you killed someone! Lin Xiao, you are so audacious. You actually made poisonous salt just to make money. Do you know how many lives of people you are going to kill?!"
"Poisonous salt? I have not made poisonous salt, but I will sample and inspect all the refined salt produced by our brothers' workshops. They are all qualified!"
Lin Xiao looked at him blankly.
"Hmph! Don't try to trick me here. I have already found out that thirteen members of the Shi family were poisoned to death by eating the salt you made!"
"I don't!"
"take away!"
Zhao Qian refused to listen to Lin Xiao's sophistry, and with an order, several police officers escorted Lin Xiao and stuffed her into the carriage.
Lin Xiao wanted to resist, but the martial arts of these agents were very powerful.
She had no power to resist at all, so she could only sit in the carriage angrily and unwillingly, watching helplessly as she was taken away.
"Zhao Qian, let me tell you again, I did not make poisonous salt! The salt I made is edible and non-toxic!"
Lin Xiao shouted unwillingly, she did not expect that Zhao Qian would frame herself like this.
"I know."
Zhao Qian didn't pay attention to Lin Xiao and just answered lightly.
"You know, if you still arrest me, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Lin Xiao was furious and shouted at Zhao Qian.
"I'm trying to save you in my own way!"
Zhao Qian answered directly without raising his head.
"Save me? Why do I need you to rescue me when I'm fine?"
Lin Xiao was puzzled. She didn't know where she needed to be saved.
"You'll find out later."
Zhao Qian didn't want to explain any more, so he just shut his mouth and continued to look at the scenery outside the carriage.
Lin Xiao became even more annoyed when she saw Zhao Qian acting like this. She didn't know what kind of medicine Zhao Qian was selling in his gourd, but Lin Xiao knew that it was definitely not good.
Although Lin Xiao was dissatisfied with Zhao Qian's behavior, it was hard for him to get angry, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
At this moment, she suddenly felt like a piece of fish on the chopping board, and she might be hit by a butcher's knife at any time.
This feeling is really bad!
Gao Jin was naturally very anxious when he saw that Lin Xiao had been arrested by the police on the pretext of making poisonous salt to kill people.
He hurried to Lin Xiao's house to find Yu Xilin to discuss the matter.
"You said Xiao Linzi was arrested? And in the name of making poisonous salt to kill people?"
After Yu Xilin heard this, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Gao Jin reached out in time to support him.
"Yes, that's what they said."
"It's impossible. After these salts are produced, Xiao Linzi has to try them himself. They are not poisonous!"
Yu Xilin couldn't believe this.
He couldn't figure out how the non-poisonous salt could poison people to death?
"What do we do now?"
"It's definitely not a matter of salt. This matter must be kept secret. Production will continue as planned. I'll go to Jiuzhou Hospital. Someone can save Xiao Linzi!"
Yu Xilin made a quick decision.
While he wanted to keep Lin Xiao, he also wanted to keep his brother's salt-making workshop!
…
After Li Yuyan heard the news brought by Yu Xilin, his heart sank to the bottom.
The salt made by Lin Xiao can never be poisonous!
If it was poisonous, they would have been poisoned to death long ago, and they wouldn't have waited until now!
Someone must be causing trouble secretly!
Who is it?
The more Li Yuyan thought about it, the more panic she became. This was the fear of the unknown!
"The salt made by Xiao Linzi is definitely not poisonous. I'm wondering if someone deliberately poisoned it? And this person is likely to be related to Aunt Wu's death a few days ago."
Yu Xilin frowned and guessed.
"oh?"
When Li Yuyan heard this, the fear in his heart diminished a little.
I have to admit that Yu Xilin’s guess is very reasonable!
Whenever there is even the slightest possibility, he will investigate it!
"Gao Jin told me that when the detectives took Xiao Linzi away, they said that all thirteen members of the Shi family had been poisoned to death. Can you find a way to send someone to investigate?"
Yu Xilin looked at Li Yuyan and suggested.
"Well, I will send someone to investigate this matter, Aunt Wu's place..."
"Don't worry, I will investigate the truth about Aunt Wu's death as soon as possible. We will divide our troops into two groups and we must rescue Xiao Linzi as soon as possible!"
Yu Xilin said firmly.
Now he can't even imagine what Lin Xiao's miserable life will be like in prison!
