Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 41

"Let me try it?"

Seeing that Yin Jian had such an evaluation, the rest of the people hurried over to the ordinary salt in Wu Liang's hands.

"Well, it is indeed much better than the salt we usually eat."

"The main reason is that the color is pure, without a lot of fine sand, which makes people like it when you look at it. I would like to call it snowflake salt."

"Brother talented, I'm afraid you're about to become famous! With the appearance and taste of this salt, as well as your unique craftsmanship, if you also open a salt store, the salt store in Chenliu County will not be sold to death? "

"Gou Fugui, don't forget each other, talented brother."

They performed similarly to Yin Jian, but after a few words of praise, they went astray, linking the salt purified by Wu Liang to the business.

This is also human nature, and it is often said that rare things are precious.

When seeing rare and good things, people will naturally consider its value and the possibility of realization unconsciously. This kind of thinking logic has been formed since ancient times.

"What is rich or not? I made this salt for myself."

Wu Liang just smiled lightly and said indifferently.

What is wealth, isn't it money?
What is wealth, isn't it just gold?

What is gold, isn't it the precious metal buried in the ancient tombs of the Hanliang King Tombs?

Tens of thousands of jin of gold can be unearthed from a small tomb of King Liang Xiao, so will there be fewer remaining tombs?

As far as Wu Liang knew, besides the tomb of King Liang Xiao, there were 12 other tombs hidden underground, and he had an impression of all the locations in his mind.

He can dig out as much gold as he wants, and he can easily become the richest person in the late Eastern Han Dynasty with a flick of his fingers. How can he care about the petty profit of the salt shop?

compare to.

Wu Liang is more willing to use the "five-step salt production method" to exchange for some more important things, so that he can live in this troubled world more easily and comfortably, so that he can focus more on what he really feels. things of interest.

"Isn't that an overkill..."

Yin Jian said with some regret, his eyes lit up suddenly, he leaned over and whispered to Wu Liang, "Brother Youcai, if you don't care about doing business, why don't you teach me how to cook salt, and I'll call my wife to come If you run this business, if you get money, you will have a lot of money, just give us a bite to eat, how about it?"

"Hey! As smart as you are, we want to make a living too!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately gathered together, pushed Yin Jian aside and said.

Looking at their expectant faces, Wu Liang shook his head, and said seriously: "Don't think about it, even if it is really given to you, you can't keep it. This thing is a disaster or a blessing for you. If you don't want to end up A family will be ruined, so An Anxin will follow me for military pay."

"Why is this?"

Everyone said strangely.

"One day you will understand."

Wu Liang shook his head again and smiled, "This is the end of this matter, don't bring it up again, it's getting late, set up a big pot, let's prepare meat and wine!"

Wu Liang was not worried that these people learned his method of cooking salt, cooked salt secretly or revealed the method of cooking salt.

The method he used just now is not the correct step of the "five-step salt production method", but only borrowed some of its principles. Both in terms of efficiency and consumption, it is very poor, and it is impossible to apply it to large-scale salt production.

So if someone wants to make a lot of money with this method, it is almost impossible.

What's more, these people don't understand the principle of it, and they may not necessarily learn the essence of it just by reading it once.

Of course, this can also be regarded as a small test of Wu Liang's humanity.

At present, these people can be regarded as Wu Liang's most trusted people in this world. If some of them can't control their mouths, or can't stand the temptation of interests, Wu Liang can also see it in advance.

Just get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

……

Meat in the Han Dynasty was also a luxury.

At this time, there was a theory of six animals, but cattle and horses were extremely important labor and strategic materials. If it were not for natural birth, old age, illness and death, there would be no beef and horse meat on people's tables, and it would even be illegal to slaughter cattle and horses privately.

Of course, except for the high-ranking gentry, they have privileges.

Even pork, which is regarded as a lowly item at this time, is very expensive, and it is simply not affordable for ordinary people.

"Salt and Iron Lun San Insufficiency" has a saying: "The meat of a husband and a pig can be harvested by the middle-aged."

The money from raising a pig and killing it for sale can be equivalent to a whole year's income when the situation is not bad, so it can be seen.

Of course, there must be a reference for everything. The "middle-aged harvest" here is not aimed at those poor peasants with a large number of people, but the middle and rich peasants with a decent life. After all, poor peasants can't afford to eat, so how can they have money to buy piglets? , I am afraid that people will starve to death before they are brought up.

In addition, the "Juyan Han Bamboo Slips" unearthed in 1930 also explained the price of pork in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.

Some economists analyzed the price of pork at that time and the purchasing power of coins, and concluded that if the pork at that time was placed in the 21st century, it would have reached between 255RMB-273RMB per catty.

This price is already equivalent to eight to nine times the domestic pork price in 2020...

What's more, it is still the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty with constant wars, and the productivity has been severely damaged. The price of pork will only become more terrible, and it is even more impossible for ordinary people to afford it.

However, Yin Jian gritted his teeth and bought half a fan of pork according to Wu Liang's request.

Anyway, it's not my own money, so I don't feel so distressed. Why not do it if I can have a meal at night.

Therefore, what Wu Liang cooks now is also pork.

As for the remaining chickens, ducks and geese that are still alive, there is no need to consider storage, and they are not in a hurry to eat them.

Wu Liang scooped up the unsteamed salt water at the bottom of the pot, filled it with well water to dilute the concentration of the salt water, poured two bowls of rice wine into it to remove the fishy smell, and finally threw in two green onions and a large piece of ginger, Cook!
As for other condiments and spices, they are all enjoyed by the gentry, and they are not very popular among ordinary people who can't easily eat.

"Suck -!"

After cooking like this for a short while, the aroma of the meat came out, Chen Jinshui and the others could not stop swallowing their saliva, their eyes staring straight at the tumbling pieces of meat in the big iron pot, they were so eager to see.

Even Wu Liang's "beauties" came here after searching, standing in the distance and watching eagerly, but they dared not come over.

To be honest, these people have not had a good life, and some people may not even taste the taste of meat, let alone see the current scene.

That's half a piece of pork, a half piece of pork that many people can't afford in their entire lives.

Just put it in a pot and cook it, do you plan to eat it in one meal tonight?
In today's world, even many gentry may not dare to eat Haisai like this, right?

Howe!
So proud!
Simply inhumane!

Looking at Dian Wei again now, the eyes of this famous historical general looking at Wu Liang are already full of the meaning of "Let's be friends with local tyrants".
