Whenever he thought of his future happy life, with seafood and exotic ingredients at every meal, Chen Zhou always felt regret.
He had countless high-quality ingredients but lacked various seasonings, which was completely reverse from modern society.
...
With limited resources and manpower on the island, the only common seasonings he could think of that could be made were vinegar, alcohol, sauce, and salt.
Vinegar could be fermented from alcohol, and alcohol could be brewed from grapes or barley; if brewed more, it could be turned into vinegar as well.
The need for salt was basically met by the seaside drying salt ponds. Although the quality was slightly inferior, at least the yield was high; it was mainly about being filling.
During the hot dry season, every week, just by scraping the cement crystallization pool, he could harvest four or five catties of salt, more than enough for Chen Zhou's consumption, and even the goat couple could benefit from it, achieving salt freedom.
