Chapter 295: Salt
"Salt ......," the guide whispered as he replied.
"Salt?" Xiao Han scratched his head and carefully picked up this thing that said that stones are not like stones, and that crystals are not like crystals.
As soon as the thing was in his hands, Xiao Han felt that it was a little lighter than he imagined. After a closer look, I didn't see anything in common with the salt of the white flower! Confused, he put it on the table again, drew a knife, and scraped it on its surface.
"Zizi ......"
After a sore sound, some powdery things were scraped off, and some of them were directly attached to the knife!
"This one is kind of like salt!" Xiao Han said something to himself, and then stretched out his tongue and licked it in the frightened eyes of Xiaodong and the others......
A second later......
"Ahh Water, give me water! Whew......"
Xiao Dong, Uncle Stunned, and the guide looked at Xiao Han stupidly and bounced up in an instant! Then he threw down the knife and screamed while holding on to the stone table and vomiting wildly!
"What the hell are you! Want to poison Hou Ye?! When Uncle Stunned rushed forward to hand water to Xiao Han, Xiaodong reacted! grabbed the guide by the neck and glared angrily!
The poor guide almost got his feet off the ground, and his two hands grabbed Xiaodong's hand tightly, leaving him to beg for mercy repeatedly: "My lord, spare my life!" This is not such a direct eat, you have to soak in water before you can use it......"
"Dare to quibble!" Xiaodong scolded, raised his fist and made a gesture to fight!
"Ahem, let go, I'm fine......" At the critical moment, Xiao Han stopped Xiaodong. He spat at the foam twice, felt the bitterness in his mouth gradually fade, gasped again, pointed to this thing and asked the guide, "This is the salt they gave you?" ”
The guide, whose feet finally landed, quickly nodded his head like a chicken eating rice, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes!" They say soak in water with this, and then add some water when cooking to get a salty taste! He also said that this can't be eaten too much at one time, it will make people eat strangely! ”
"Ahem, it's really grandma's bitterness! I can't eat too much at once, but I'd like to see who can eat too much! Xiao Han hid his face and coughed twice, and then asked him: "Then do you know that there are many things in their hands?" ”
"Many! A lot! The guide did not dare to hesitate, and quickly replied, "At first I thought it was salt, but I couldn't be happier!" I asked them and they said there was this thing everywhere in a cave! ”
"Caves?" Xiao Han took another sip of water and spit it out, and said in his heart: "That's the rock salt mine!" Good stuff! If only this salt mine was big enough! It's so close to Chang'an and Luoyang! It's a big gold mine out there! ”
Xiao Han was silent, and the guide didn't dare to speak. Xiaodong let go of the guide and curiously circled around this thing. I raised it up again and shook it, I couldn't guess why Hou Ye was so concerned about this thing.
Just when Xiao Dong really couldn't see what it was for, Xiao Han's voice came:
"Pick it up and don't put it down!"
"What?" Xiao Dong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Han suspiciously.
Xiao Han stood up straight, pointed to the salt mine in Xiaodong's arms, and said to him: "You go and put this thing in the stone mill and grind it, and I will be useful if you bring the powder back!" ”
"Good!"
"Uncle Stunned!"
"In!"
"Get some of your brethren who are smooth! By the way, go get some charcoal, burlap here! ”
"Whoa!"
"That's all! Go and come back quickly! ”
"Whoa!"
The two of them saw that Xiao Han had something big to do, so they put away the meaning of joking and hurriedly took the order! In the blink of an eye, only the cowering guide and Xiao Han were left in the courtyard.
Xiao Han sat down again and smiled kindly at the guide: "Come and sit!" Don't be too restrictive! I didn't thank you a few days ago for helping us find that treasure mountain! ”
"Hehe......" The guide showed a smile that was more ugly than bitterness, and he didn't sit down, but just waved at Xiao Han: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare!" If there is anything you command, sir! ”
"Haha, that's pretty smart! I know I have something to ask you for help! Xiao Han saw that he didn't dare to sit down, nor was he reluctant, he laughed and said to him: "I'll make a trick in a while, you don't care what kind of trick it is, you just need to know that if this trick is done, you will be considered a great achievement!"
And it's not just you who make meritorious contributions. Those homeless people will also follow suit! When the time comes, I will ask the King of Qin to be a guarantor, as long as they are willing to sacrifice the cave that produced this kind of stone, they will not be to blame for the previous things! The government will also re-register them! ”
"Tricks? Make contributions? The poor guide was confused, and did not dare to ask, so he could only stand there and laugh awkwardly.
Xiaodong is very efficient now, and he almost didn't let Xiao Han wait, so he ran back in a hurry.
"Let's go! Go to the backyard! Xiao Han got up and walked to the backyard with Xiaodong. The guide looked at the two people who had hurried away, and then at himself. I struggled and hesitated for a while, but in the end I obediently stayed in the yard and didn't move.
In the backyard, a few cauldrons are still in the yard. The two generals were packing up the scattered firewood, and when they saw Xiao Han hurrying over, they hurriedly saluted.
"I've seen Master Hou!"
"No need to be polite! Go get some buckets! Bring up another bucket of water! Hurry up! ”
The bucket and water were ready-made, and the two generals threw the firewood in their hands and flew over the buckets. I saw Xiao Han pour all the powder wrapped in a black cloth into a bucket, and then let Xiao Dong stir it vigorously! After a while, the water in the bucket became muddy.
"Master Hou! Something found! At the door, Uncle Zi's voice came, and Xiao Han looked up. only to find that there are more people than just Uncle Zi! Next to him, who is not Xiao Lizi who is the one who is making his head?
"King Qin? What are you doing here? Xiao Han asked in surprise.
Li Shimin opened his mouth and smiled: "Haha, just now in the logistics camp, I accidentally saw that your family's home will stir up the logistics camp!" When I asked, I said I was looking for something, so I followed me to take a look......"
Uncle Zizi shrugged helplessly on the side, he really didn't expect to meet King Qin!
But Xiao Han doesn't care, it's not a bad thing for Xiao Li to come! If this salt mine can really produce salt, even if Xiao Li Zi doesn't say it, he won't swallow this big profit! Because it's not necessary at all!
In feudal society, are there any rich people in the world? Yes! Shen Wansan, He Shen, and Fan Li are all!
But the result? The three families of Shen Wan, who are rich in the world, are ruined, and the powerful and opposition-leaning He Shen is dead! Even Fan Li, who had the best ending, scattered his wealth three times!
Xiao Han doesn't want to be treated as a white and fat pig by the emperor, so he has to learn to give up! For example, salt, a commodity that has been monopolized by the emperor for thousands of years, is better not to move......
arched his hand to Xiao Lizi, even if he had said hello. Xiao Han was busy asking Uncle Stunned to take out all kinds of items from his blanket, preparing to start his self-created mineral salt refining method in front of Xiao Lizi!
(Ps, some friends and the queen asked what plants produce salt, in fact, there are several salt-producing plants, such as salt-skinned wood, as the name suggests, there will be white salt precipitation on its surface, which can be scraped off and used as table salt!) People are absolutely inseparable from salt, if one day in the forest, friends can try to find this thing, enough to replenish the salt our body needs! )
