| According to Notes by Jiang, Rih-Sheng, “In the 4th Year of Kangxi, Chen, Yong-Hua, General Jheng’s staff officer, could no longer tolerate the bitter taste of the salt made by the boiling method. He built retaining walls in the Laikou area and sprinkled sea water within the walls as natural brine. The drying was left to the sun’s action to make salt. The salt enriched the government resources and was also provided to the general public as table salt.” |
