Soon after, Lea retrieved the salt crystals left behind by Fei Rui in the cave.
As there was only a piece of sea salt crystal, it was definitely insufficient for marinating meat. Thus, it was rarely used and Lea only used small amount of it when marinating fish, whereas other times, it was just stored in the cave.
Using his fingers, he dug out a bit of salt to show Joshua.
Joshua scrutinised it closely as he compared it to the lake salt that he had brought himself. Besides the colour and size, even the lustre and scent were different.
With his head hung low, Joshua said in a disappointed tone, "I… I will make another trip down to the beach to collect some sea salt from the Mermaid Tribe. Please give me another chance."
Lea shook his head and said, "the key does not lie in the sea salt but in this."
