The method used by the coastal prefectures of Great Zhou to produce sea salt is very simple and crude; it involves boiling sea salt. The so-called "boiling sea salt" method is literal, without any technique. Naturally, the boiled salt doesn't taste good and is quite troublesome.
Zhao Yao's new method for making sea salt was learned from the world he saw in his dreams—it's the Guotan salt drying method.
This Guotan salt drying method has seven steps: constructing the bank, preparing the bank, channeling the tides, making the brine, testing the brine, crystallizing, and collecting the salt.
Although it's more complex than the boiling method, it's not difficult to operate. Most importantly, the salt produced by the Guotan salt drying method has a great taste, and the yield is very high.
These past few days, Zhao Yao has been staying at the seaside, watching the Guard Commander lead people in constructing the bank.
