Chapter 154 Refined Salt
The news that Li Hao was going to make salt quickly spread throughout Li Hao's mansion.
Li Yuan's guards.
Li Guanying.
And the servants of Li Hao's mansion rushed over.
Without him.
Because this thing is sensational!
Salt is closely related to everyone. For example, the servants of Li Hao's mansion are fine, and now they eat fine salt for every meal.
But those few guards, they can eat coarse salt and have a salty taste in their mouths, they are far better than ordinary people, which is enough to make them proud.
Now some people actually say that fine salt can be produced in large quantities, how can this not make them notice.
Li Hao didn't care when he saw the crowd rushing over.
"It's just fine salt, looking at you one by one, it seems like something rare."
"Okay, let me show you how easy it is to make fine salt."
After finishing speaking, Li Hao ordered his servants to bring coarse salt, cotton cloth and charcoal.
Coarse salt is a large block of salt, which looks very rough, like a stone, and does not look edible at all.
This is the coarse salt mined from the salt mine, which is generally not edible.
Li Yuan and others watched intently.
Although this kind of salt mine is very common, they have never dared to eat it. The salt block is actually a stone knocked from the salt mine. Whoever eats it will have diarrhea. If the problem is serious, the whole body may even turn blue and purple. , died suddenly.
Li Hao quickly ground the stone-like salt block into powder, then melted the powder into water, stirred thoroughly, and then poured the salt water onto the cotton cloth.
Under the cotton cloth is a wooden basin. After the salt water is poured into the wooden basin through the cotton cloth, the color turns brown, and there are many gray-black impurities on the cotton cloth.
Li Yuan and the others couldn't help getting a little excited.
Something has changed. This is it.
Li Hao fetched charcoal again, crushed it, then wrapped the crushed charcoal grains with cotton cloth, put them into the funnel, and then poured the brown salt water into the funnel.
The light blue salt water slowly flowed out of the funnel like this.
Li Yuan and the others' eyes widened!
This... this salt water seems to be the best green salt!
As far as this color is concerned, it can really be said to be no worse than green salt!
After waiting for a while, Li Hao put the blue salt water flowing out of the funnel into the pot and boiled it over high heat.
At this time, Li Yuan and others were fools, and they also knew that Li Hao should have succeeded in making salt.
as predicted.
Not long after, under the fire, the pot kept bubbling and steaming, and the water evaporated quickly.
And the rest is the green salt condensed into a whole piece!
Seeing the steaming green salt, Li Yuan was stunned!
This good green salt can be made so easily?
Before Li Yuan rushed to the cauldron, he quickly broke a piece of green salt with his hands, put it in his mouth and tasted it!
salty!
So salty!
The salty taste made Li Yuan burst into tears!
But Li Yuan didn't mean to spit it out at all!
Instead, he shouted excitedly!
"It's green salt, it's green salt!"
"This quality...is definitely the best!"
Li Yuan was so excited!
One must know that even with the honor of Li Yuan, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to eat salt so extravagantly!
Especially when we were fighting in the past, this kind of green salt was just a dream!
Now there is a big pot, and it took less than half an hour, and the raw materials are just cheap things like a pile of salt mines and charcoal cotton cloth!
Li Guanying and the guards couldn't hold back when they heard that the Supreme Emperor was so excited. They ran to the cauldron, grabbed a piece of salt, and stuffed it into their mouths!
Their expressions are exactly the same as Li Yuan's!
It was so salty that tears were about to come out, but no one spit it out. Instead, there was more joy in their eyes!
Li Guanying is better, after all, he often eats with Li Hao, and it is no surprise to Li Hao here, and he has eaten a lot of good things.
Even so, Li Guanying is well aware of the importance of green salt, and is extremely excited about the output of this green salt.
Not to mention those guards!
Although they are guards in the palace, their treatment is quite good, but they are only guards after all, and they belong to the bottom of the Tang bureaucracy system. On weekdays, they can get a few ordinary salt blocks, which is enough to feel superior. Stand tall in front of you.
But now what they are eating is the green salt that the high-ranking members of the aristocratic family are reluctant to eat!
This thing costs half a penny and a tael!
Salt is something we eat every day, who can afford such an expensive price!
Now these guards are tasting the pure salty taste that they have never tasted in their life, and several big men are so excited that they are crying!
Eating green salt like this is really a luxury that they have never had in their lives!
Li Hao was speechless.
As for?
Isn't it just a little refined salt, why one by one seems to have convulsions, and even started to cry.
Li Hao finally decided to interrupt the excitement of this group of people.
"Old man, it's alright, it's just a mouthful of salt, why does it feel more exciting than eating salt-baked chicken, it doesn't matter."
Only then did Li Yuan slowly recover from his excitement.
Seeing Li Hao's face full of indifference, Li Yuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Little brother, in terms of taste, salt-baked chicken is much better than green salt, but in terms of preciousness, this green salt is not comparable to salt-baked chicken."
"The effect of this salt on my Tang Dynasty is really too great. I am excited because of the importance of this green salt!"
"My Tang Dynasty is fortunate to have you as a little brother, it is really a blessing for Datang!"
Li Yuan was about to get excited again while talking.
Li Hao quickly persuaded:
"Old man, don't be like this, let's just talk like that, don't be so excited, by the way, this is just the most common salt, old man, do you need to be so excited?"
Li Yuan glanced at the guards around him with a wry smile, and said:
"Little brother, even the emperor's guards can't eat your fine salt, let alone the common people. It's really difficult for the common people to get some salt to eat!"
"You know, people can't live without salt for a day. If you eat less salt, you will have no strength to work. If the common people have enough salt to eat, the efficiency of farming will be greatly improved."
"Not to mention my Tang soldiers!"
"I have been fighting in the Tang Dynasty for years. Although the food is better now because of raising pigs, it is still expensive to raise pigs. It will not take a few years for pork to be popularized in the army."
"But eating salt is different. According to your method, little brother, the salt mine can easily produce refined salt, which means that my soldiers in the Tang Dynasty will have salt to eat. It will really have a huge impact on the physical strength of my soldiers in the Tang Dynasty." Immediate change!"
"Little brother, now you know how valuable this salt is!"
Li Hao touched the back of his head.
He really didn't expect that the green salt would have such a big effect.
As far as this thing is concerned, Li Hao's three lands, Taohua Village, Lingnan, and Taoyuan Country, all have fine salt to eat, and they are available every day, which is not a rare thing at all.
It's really not worth mentioning.
Because Li Hao's food treatment for the soldiers is really too high.
Staple food, vegetables, meat, everything that one expects to find, is no worse than modern generations.
