The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 40 - Salt Drying
Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Salt Drying
Nian Shutong had already learned how to make salt and she planned to build three ponds.
One for water inlet, allowing seawater to flow in during high tide and settle the sediment.
The second for evaporation, using solar energy to sufficiently evaporate the water, leaving enough sodium chloride, which is salt.
The third for crystallization, allowing the salt-rich seawater to continue drying slowly into crystals, which are coarse salt.
The fourth and final step involved mixing the coarse salt in fresh water, filtering, drying, and purifying it to form snow-white fine salt.
This step would also nicely remove the salt’s bitterness and coarse texture.
However, all this would take time, and she didn’t want to wait.
Luckily, she was in interstellar.
“Xiao He,” Nian Shutong called Fu Yunhe with an affectionate tone.
Fu Yunhe felt a chill surge from his waist, climbing up his spine to the back of his head, as his brain quickly calculated the remaining funds in his account.
Oh… he hoped it would be enough.
“Is there something you need?” Fu Yunhe asked in his friendliest tone.
“Let’s talk about life!” As soon as Nian Shutong spoke, Fu Yunhe grew even more afraid.
Life? That sounded like it would cost a lot of money.
However, Fu Yunhe wouldn’t argue; he politely responded to Nian Shutong, “Oh, you talk.”
“I want to start a salt farm and need to buy a miniature sun and a filter,” Nian Shutong began, then started adding up the costs for Fu Yunhe.
“I obviously don’t have the money, or at least not enough. If you could put in some money, then from now on, you wouldn’t have to pay for meals. How about that?”
How about that?
Fu Yunhe felt that he didn’t have the option to refuse.
On a deserted island coast, alone with Nian Shutong, it seemed like a perfect place to commit murder and dispose of a body.
“Sure, no problem,” Fu Yunhe immediately agreed, not daring to hesitate. He even proactive opened the Star Network and found the items Nian Shutong wanted to buy.
“How about this miniature sun? Is it sufficient? And this filter, it’s from a nutrient liquid facility and is still 30% new, will it do?”
Nian Shutong, seeing Fu Yunhe so cooperative, was very pleased; communicating with a smart person really saved effort.
“This is good, let’s buy it. The filter will suffice, and it even saves some money,” Nian Shutong lightly tapped, and both items were added to the cart for purchase.
Fu Yunhe nodded in full cooperation. After Nian Shutong had made her selections, he directly proceeded to payment without using the part of the money that Nian Shutong said was “not enough.”
Watching Fu Yunhe make the payment, which ultimately amounted to ninety-seven thousand eight hundred forty-three Star Coins, Nian Shutong had only one thought: she was glad the sick beauty had left some behind.
Seeing the transaction complete and the delivery countdown timer light up, Nian Shutong didn’t waste time; she was ready to get to work.
The first step was to dig the ponds.
“Xiao He, go stand over there, stay away from me,” Nian Shutong pointed to a spot about dozens of meters away.
Fu Yunhe asked no questions and obediently walked to the other side, standing in position.

He watched Nian Shutong from a distance, curious about what she was planning to do. As for the idea of making money from salt, he was skeptical.
Salt is a very common commodity, bitter in taste, which not many people liked, yet they consumed some, feeling it was necessary for their health.
Most people who consumed nutrient liquid didn’t need extra salt intake.
Indeed, in interstellar, humans treated salt as a separate food without developing more functions for it.
Fu Yunhe watched Nian Shutong nonchalantly. The next second, he showed his emotions for the first time.
How could it be possible?
