The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 131 Liu Feng Comes to Report (First Order)

"It's raining again!" Li An hugged Li Duoduo and sat on the rocking chair. Li Duoduo leaned her little head in Li An's arms and looked at the still raining sky with a bitter expression.

You must know that Li Duoduo doesn't like rain, very much, because as long as it rains, she can only be trapped at home.

Playing with building blocks was quite interesting at first, but later it became boring after playing too many blocks. There is no TV to watch here, so as long as it rains, I can only stay at home bored.

It was also because of the rain that Lijiacun stopped working at this time. First of all, soap could not be made. It was raining and there was no way to burn plant ashes. Fortunately, rock sugar and mahjong could still be made.

Unlike Li Duoduo, Li An is very comfortable with such a rainy day. He is sitting in the rocking chair at home, holding his daughter in his arms, listening to the sound of rain falling in the patio of the house. It is really Very comfortable.

"Mr. Lang.!"

At this time, Liu Xiatian came over.

Li An quickly hugged Li Duoduo and stood up. Li Duoduo shouted happily: "Grandpa Liu."

"Hey, little miss." Liu Xiatian said with a smile: "Little miss, do you want to come to my house to play? Hu Zi's two little cousins ​​are here!" Liu Xiatian followed and looked at Li An and said: "Both of them are girls. , one and two years older than the little lady, why not let them be little personal maids, so that it is more convenient to serve the little lady."

"Is he from the Qin family?" Li An asked.

"The two little daughters of Qin Shi's younger brother Qin Mu, Qin Mu's family of five, Qin Shi, Qin Ying, and Qin Mu are three brothers and sisters. Originally Qin Mu was the son-in-law. Who knew that the girl's parents died early, so Qin Mu A person with a foreign surname would be a bit excluded in Zhuangzi.

Qin Laohei is too embarrassed to come to you, so he comes to talk to me. "

Qin Laohei is the father of Qin Ying and Qin Shi, and now he has lived in Lijiacun. Li An asked him to work with Liu Xiatian. As for what he does, Liu Xiatian has the final say. With four coins a month, Qin Laohei is happy with it. , after all, it is really a beautiful thing for a person as old as Qin Laohei to have sex four times a month.

Li An also likes Qin Laohei very much. Whenever he sees him, Qin Laohei bends the deepest and is extremely respectful to Li An. By the way, Duoduo likes Qin Laohei very much because Qin Laohei is such a talented person. Fortunately, when we make a garland, we can easily catch grasshoppers and crickets.

Li Duoduo has many trinkets handmade by Qin Laohei.

"Oh, that's right." Li An nodded. Li Duoduo quickly jumped off Li An's body and said, "Dad, I'm going to Grandpa Liu's house to play with Brother Huzi. I'll stay with you." ,so boring."

Li An laughed silently: "Go quickly." Then he shouted to Liu Yiyi behind him: "Yiyi, send Duoduo there."

Liu Yiyi hurriedly responded, held an umbrella from behind, and followed Li Duoduo to Liu Xiatian's house. Liu Xiatian's house was very close to Li An's house, and they were there as soon as they lifted their legs.

After Li Duoduo left, Li An asked Liu Xiatian to sit down and said, "Uncle Liu, you can just handle this matter. If we start making soap, we will need more manpower. By the way, Mao How is the master's iron pot?"

"Lang Jun, I already have dozens of iron pots. I have to say that this iron pot is really good. I fried a few dishes your way and it was really delicious." Liu Xiatian saw that Li An agreed. Qin Mu's family also responded happily when they entered Lijia Village.

"Yeah." Li An said with a smile, "But the most important thing about this iron pot is not cooking. I want to use it to boil salt."

"Boiled salt?" Liu Xiatian was a little confused.

"It's actually very simple. It's just to dissolve all the large grains of salt we eat with water, and then boil it again to turn the original large grains of salt into fine salt, just like green salt."

"Huh!" Liu Xiatian was a little horrified: "Can such large grains of salt be turned into green salt?" Li An laughed: "Uncle Liu, it's not green salt, it's like green salt. It's actually fine salt. Those coarse salts I won’t eat salt, it’s impure and bitter.”

In fact, salt boiling has already begun in the Tang Dynasty. The process can basically be divided into four steps: First, underground brine is extracted from the salt well, and it is diverted through the brine ditch to the brine scraping stall; the brine scraping stall is paved with plant ash, and the brine and plant ash react chemically. react, and form salty soil after being sun-dried; the salty soil is then scraped up and put into the brine leach pit for leaching, thereby obtaining a brine solution with a higher salt content or concentration; finally, the leached and precipitated brine is transferred to the brine next to the salt stove. In the brine storage pit, it is then boiled on the stove to make salt. The salt pan for cooking the salt should be made of copper.

But because the price of salt in the Tang Dynasty was cheap, these salt merchants would not spend manpower and material resources to boil salt. Who would boil salt? And the copper salt tray was too expensive. It cost a lot of money to use it once, and it was completely beyond their means. So Basically, coarse salt is crystallized from sea water or salt water from salt wells, salt ponds, and salt springs.

Li An is different. Li An has to burn plant ashes. He has a big fire, so boiling salt is also a matter of course. However, Li An will not sell these fine salts. The main reason is that Li An cannot make them at a reasonable price, and the amount of fine salt he cooks is also limited. Not a lot, unlikely to be sold.

But if Li Zhi becomes the emperor one day, Li An still has some status in Li Zhi's heart at that time. Li An will tell Li Zhi an advanced salt-drying method. This salt-drying method can dry seawater into fine salt. At that time, it was considered as a contribution to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"Everything depends on Mr. Lang." Liu Xiatian smiled slightly.

At the same time, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside, followed by a man's voice outside Li An's door: "My husband is here, Liu Feng wants to see you."

"Lang Jun. Liu Feng must have received some news." Liu Xiatian reminded.

Then I heard Li An say to the outside: "Liu Feng, come in quickly, I'm here."

Liu Feng received permission and immediately walked in from the outside. He was dressed in a raincoat and had a chubby body with a kind face. He looked a bit like a harmless Maitreya Buddha. After seeing Li An, Liu Feng bowed again: "Liu Feng has seen Lang Jun."

"Liu Feng, don't be polite, sit down!" Li An asked Liu Feng to sit down.

Liu Feng looked at Liu Xiatian happily and shouted: "Uncle."

Liu Xiatian nodded and asked, "Liu Feng, have you received any news?"

"Yes, uncle..." Liu Feng quickly looked at Li An and said, "Lang Jun, just this morning, I received a piece of news about the Wei family's family. This news has not spread throughout the city. It is just It is spread among a small number of aristocratic families."

"What's the news?" When Li An heard about the Wei family, he immediately asked curiously.

"Wei Wangning, the third roommate of the Wei family's Western Residence, is going to get married to Wei Rentu, the second roommate's adopted son, within one month. Because Wei Wangning, the third roommate of the Wei family, has incurable tuberculosis, the news released by the Wei family's West Residence is to continue the Wei family's continuation. Three bedrooms, so let Wei Rentu and Wei Wangning get married as soon as possible and leave children.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is the property of the Wei family's western family's first and second bedrooms plotting against the third.

Because there is only one idiot brother left in the third room of the Wei family. "

Just after Liu Feng finished speaking, Li An's heart skipped a beat. He quickly looked at Liu Feng and asked, "Liu Feng, tell me again, what's wrong with Wei Wangning, the third roommate of the Wei family?"

Liu Feng said again: "Consumption, an incurable disease."

For a moment, Li An felt a little depressed.
