Chapter VII Salt Production

"Holy."

Yun Xiao was taken aback by this fat face, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Liu Cheng. Xiao Bai was screaming resentfully, and it seemed that it was also full of resentment towards Liu Cheng.

"Brother Yun, there are still more than twenty miles to go, so that ......"

"Alright, you get out."

Yun Xiao was very irritated by Liu Cheng.

"Brother Yun, everyone is ......"

"Go out, go out and wear pants."

Yun Xiao impatiently drove away this dead.

After eating breakfast in a hurry, Liu Cheng, who was impatient, pulled Yun Xiao and took a hundred and ten soldiers out of the city.

After a few days of high-intensity riding, Yunxiao's riding skills have made great progress. Although it can't catch up with these military men, at least it won't be ugly.

Place the cauldron on the firewood and grass, and thrash large pieces of salt into the pot with a wooden shovel. After boiling, stir with a wooden stick, and then pour cold water to make the calcium carbonate clumps.

Three layers of burlap with fine sand in the middle, strained on a large wooden barrel.

After repeating this three times, Yun Xiao found that the clumping of calcium carbonate on the burlap was significantly reduced. I tried a few more times until the calcium carbonate particles were completely gone, and then the water was boiled dry.

There was a thin layer of white crystals under the bottom of the iron pot, and Yun Xiao dipped a little of it with his hand and put it in his mouth, salty. Liu Cheng looked at Yun Xiao's expression carefully, and saw that Yun Xiao was silent, so he was anxious to follow Yun Xiao's appearance and put a little bit of his hand in his mouth, and the two looked like drug dealers in the movie.

Liu Cheng's eyes lit up, and he dipped a large piece of salt into his mouth, and Yun Xiao's heart twitched, this kid won't turn into Batman.

"Salt, it's fine salt. In Chang'an, it can be the same price as gold, Brother Yun sent it, and we sent it. ”

The soldiers stared at Liu Cheng, who was almost crazy. The awe of Yun Xiao in his heart is even deeper, and the young general was like this yesterday, and it was good to sleep all night. It seems that this Yun Zhuang is not small, otherwise how could he bring back the head of Captain Zuo in the Xiongnu region.

Ignoring Liu Cheng, who looked like crazy, Yun Xiao beckoned the happy Xiaobai to come back. This little guy is very clingy now, and he even has to get into Yunxiao's sleeping bag at night. Yesterday, I played too well with the Wei sisters and brothers, which made Xiaobai abandon the bad habit of going out day and night. When Yun Xiao woke up, he didn't see the bloody dead rat, which made Yun Xiao very relieved.

The archery skills of the soldiers are very good, and the border army in the north of the imperial court is the most elite army of the imperial court.

The eight soldiers who accompanied Yun Xiao actually shot more than 20 yellow sheep in one morning. Large pieces of lamb are lowered into the pot and filled with a few large spoonfuls of fresh fine salt. Yun Xiao broke a pine stick, peeled off the skin and threw it into the pot, covered it and boiled it over high heat.

I couldn't stand the batter-like thing, so I found two military men with strong arms and noodles, and quickly cut them into a wide strip with a knife. Shaanxi's most famous trouser belt noodles were made, and the soldiers who had worked all morning smelled the fragrance of mutton, and they all looked over here, enviously looking at their colleagues who were stealing their mouths to eat.

Boiling water, the noodles went in one by one. After the trouser belt noodles of the three wooden barrels, Yun Xiao shouted and ate.

All the military men put down their work and looked at Liu Cheng. Liu Cheng waved his hand helplessly, each of them was a coarse porcelain wrist the size of a head, and a bowl full of noodles was full of mutton pieces. A large spoonful of hot mutton soup was poured on it, and the aroma was immediately steaming.

In the early spring months, the soldiers were sweating from eating, squatting on the ground one by one. The soldiers who followed Yunxiao complained bitterly, no matter how fast they made noodles, they could not keep up with the speed of eating noodles. A long group of soldiers knocked on the rice bowl and urged.

Liu Cheng, who still had half a bowl left, kicked the buttocks of the military man one by one, and the chopsticks of this guy never stopped, without any aristocratic demeanor.

Rice buckets are all rice buckets, how did the Han Dynasty raise such a group of rice buckets. Twenty bags of noodles were originally prepared for two days, but now there are only three bags left. Liu Cheng had to send people to the city to transport grain, otherwise he would have to run out of food at night.

Yun Xiao was so tired that he was about to fall apart, and vowed never to cook for these guys again.

The men in the army are real, and after eating Yun Zhuangshi's food, they naturally work hard. So, in addition to boiling salt, Yun Xiao had dozens of yellow sheep around him.

Xiaobai is in trouble, there is a huge magpie nest on a big tree. Xiaobai recklessly climbed up, but it was frightened by the height it had climbed and shrank on the branch. Screaming and calling for Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao threw down his rice bowl and ran under the tree.

Xiaobai's tail was as thick as Yunxiao's arm, and his hoarse voice looked very anxious. A military man who claimed to be a master of tree climbing wanted to rescue Xiaobai, probably because of his appearance, but Xiaobai climbed to a higher place instead.

Yun Xiao got on the horse and pretended to go away, and Xiaobai quickly climbed down the tree in a hurry. After a few steps, he jumped in front of Yun Xiao's horse, jumped on Yun Xiao's horse's buttocks, and got into Yun Xiao's arms. His claws kept slapping Yun Xiao's face, as if to accuse him of not being trustworthy and abandoning himself.

On a quiet night, there was no one in the four fields, and a bunch of orange bonfires were burning.

"Yanshi's reputation is like Meng Wei, like the East Pavilion is virtuous. Wu Songxiong is fierce and fearful, and Chai Jin is ** all over the world. I am confident that I can kill a tiger by myself, and I can't talk about three bowls.

When the gust of wind passed, I could only hear a sound from behind the chaotic tree, and a big white-fronted insect jumped out.

Wu Song was taken aback by that, and the wine broke out in a cold sweat. It's too late, it's too soon. When Wu Song saw the big insect pounce, he only flashed and flashed behind the big insect. It was the most difficult to see people behind the big worm, so he put his front paws on the ground, lifted his waist and hips, and lifted them up. Wu Song only dodged and hid to the side. When the big insect saw that he couldn't lift him, he roared, but it was like a thunderbolt in the middle of the sky, and the hill also moved. The iron rod was also upside down like a tiger's tail, only one cut, but Wu Song flashed to the side. ”

The expressions of the soldiers and men suddenly became nervous and suddenly atmospheric as Yun Xiao narrated.

Suddenly, a thunderclap was heard, and the king of beasts flew out of the mountainside. With their heads held high and their teeth and claws, the elk in Taniguchi are busy. The fox and rabbit in the mountain lurked in the track, and the roe ape in the stream was frightened and panicked. Bian Zhuang was devastated after seeing it, and he was brave when he was filial. Qinghe Zhuangshi did not wake up from the wine, and suddenly greeted each other in Gangtou. Looking for people up and down, the tiger **, bumping into the hideous to pounce on people. The tiger comes and pounces on people like a mountain, and people go to meet the tiger like a rock. When the arms and wrists fall, the cannon falls, and the minions crawl into mud puddles. The tips of the fists and toes were like raindrops, and the hands were stained with blood. The filthy and bloody wind fills the pine forest, and the scattered hairy whiskers fall into the mountains. Look at the momentum up close, and look at the majesty on all sides from afar. The body is crossed by weeds and brocade pins, and the eyes are closed and the light does not flash. At that moment, the tiger on Jingyang Gang was beaten by Wu Song without a meal, and the big insect couldn't move with a fist and kick, making his mouth panting. ”

"Okay."

The applause of the soldiers came and went, and even Liu Cheng was fascinated by it.

Two days, 100 catties of top-grade fine salt. Liu Cheng's eyes narrowed into a slit, and in this way, the white salt flats in front of him were simply a golden salt sea. On the way back, Liu Cheng's mouth never closed, and he often showed his little tongue to Yun Xiao while walking, and was deeply despised by Yun Xiao.

Li Guang didn't care at all that the two of them didn't take his share in their plans to make a fortune, and even generously said that in the future, Liu Cheng would provide the military salt for Mayi. It will also provide 200 soldiers and 2,000 soldiers and horses to garrison.

Yun Xiao didn't understand Li Guang's behavior very much, but he did things that were obviously not beneficial. It seems that the moral level of the ancients is not comparable to that of modern people.

But when Liu Cheng told Yunxiao, for every 100 catties of salt used by the Mayi military, five catties would be sent to the Li Mansion. Yun Xiao felt that he had overestimated the moral level of the ancients, and the law of kickbacks in later generations had become popular more than two thousand years ago. Later generations are just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, and Yun Xiao was deeply impressed by the great wisdom of his ancestors.

A splendid carriage entered the city of Mayi surrounded by a team of brightly armored guards. The guards who opened the way were holding the Tail Festival, representing the identity of the Son of Heaven. Both the army and the people of Mayi City knelt on the ground and respectfully greeted the envoys of the Son of Heaven.

Li Guang, who is like a leather ball, kneeling on the ground is very funny. Yun Xiao, who was kneeling behind him, shrugged his shoulders one after another, his face flushed, and he looked like he had bad stool.

A guy in a brocade robe was reading something out there, and he understood every word he said. But I didn't understand the meaning of the connection, anyway, my name was mentioned in it.

Eunuchs, a product unique to the evil feudal society.

Yun Xiao has seen the image of a eunuch countless times in movies and TV series. In any case, I never thought that I would see the real eunuch more than 2,000 years ago. Do eunuchs have beards? This can be had. A white-bearded eunuch stood in front of Yun Xiao with a smile and a roll of yellow silk cloth in his hand.

Liu Cheng stabbed Yun Xiao, and Yun Xiao reacted and took the holy decree with both hands. Liu Cheng is a good brother, and he handed it back with a heavy bag, as if he was buying a holy decree.

"Slaves and maids welcome the strong men into Beijing." The old eunuch politely asked Yun Xiao to get into the carriage.

"Dare to ask what your father-in-law is called?"

"The old slave is empty."

Belch......
