Datang: Eight-year-old general

Chapter 216 Refining Fine Salt
And Li Yi at this time.

He had already drawn the blueprint, and found Chen Niu'er, and asked him to make the above things as soon as possible according to the blueprint.

When he was going back, Xu Zhu came to Li Yi's side.

"Master, there is news from Chang'an."

Li Yi paused, and asked in confusion, "What news?"

Xu Zhu whispered, "Your Majesty proclaimed the owner the King of Tang in the court today, and sent the fifteen princesses to the Tang Palace."

"Pursue Tang Wang?"

Li Yi was slightly startled.

He knew about the fifteenth princess and was not too surprised.

But this Li Longji chased him as the King of Tang, which is really strange.

Because of his merits, he can't match the word Tang Wang.

Even if it is really dead, it is impossible to chase after it like this.

This made Li Yi very suspicious of Li Longji's intentions.

"I know about it, don't worry about it."

Li Yi, who couldn't guess it, didn't bother too much.

Looking at Xu Zhu, he said, "Go find someone and get me some more green salt and coarse salt."

"Master, it's a bit troublesome to get salt."

Xu Zhu was stunned, and said puzzledly, "Forgive me for talking too much, I don't know why the owner wants so much salt?"

It's no wonder Xu Zhu was in trouble.

Because salt has always been controlled by the government and is extremely precious, some ordinary people cannot use salt to adjust their food every day.

Just eat a little once in a while.

Only rich families can have bitter green salt.

Court officials can only use coarse salt with a slightly better taste.

And the amount is very small.

Even the sweet-scented osmanthus tavern uses a mixture of green salt and coarse salt.

"It's okay to tell you."

Li Yi didn't intend to hide it from Xu Zhu and others, "I want to use green salt and coarse salt to refine fine salt without bitterness."

Some time ago, Li Yi was too busy.

I don't have the time to do this, and I eat coarse salt to adjust the dishes every day, that's it, the taste is okay, but slightly bitter.

But after eating too much, he found that it didn't always taste that way.

Especially when he went to the sweet-scented osmanthus tavern and ate the dishes made by sweet-scented osmanthus, he became more determined to refine fine salt.

Besides, eating too much green salt and coarse salt is not good for your health.

How can he eat too much salt of this harmful substance at the time of development.

"Is refining fine salt the same as brewing wine?"

Xu Zhu was full of curiosity.

The general can always think of such incomprehensible things.

Since ancient times, what they have eaten is bitter green salt. They have become accustomed to this bitter taste, but they have never heard that they can extract fine salt without bitter taste.

What kind of salt is that?

Tasty?
"Different."

Li Yi shook his head, "But as long as fine salt is extracted, our future meals will be many times more delicious."

"Is it better than now?"

Xu Zhu was drooling when he heard this.

Because the food they are eating now has been improved by Li Yi, and it is already delicious.

After making the osmanthus housekeeper eat it once, he studied with the fireman in the villa for a few days, and then brought it to the osmanthus tavern.

It made her business even more popular.

"Go and get green salt and coarse salt."

Li Yi didn't speak, patted Xu Zhu on the shoulder, and walked away.

Seeing this, Xu Zhu hurried out of the old farm to find a way to get salt.

Time flickers.

Three days passed.

Xu Zhu bought a sack of green salt and coarse salt and brought it back to the old farm.

"Master, do you think this is enough?"

"It's almost there. You can have a small sack of fine salt."

Li Yi nodded in satisfaction and praised, "Old Xu, you did a good job on this matter. After a while, fine salt will be produced, and the owner of the village will personally barbecue for you."

"well."

Xu Zhu grinned.

But Dian Wei on the side was a little confused, "Old Xu, you look a little creepy, isn't it just barbecue, why are you so happy?"

"And how can you bother the owner, I'll bake it for you."

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhu's face changed instantly, and he said seriously, "Lao Dian, can your roast meat be eaten?"

"Go away, don't get in the way here and hinder the main business."

Li Yi laughed, "Let's go, all follow me."

little time.

A group of people came to the North Courtyard.

Li Yi brought them into a room where weird equipment had been arranged.

Then, Li Yi rolled up his sleeves and said loudly, "Come on, follow my command."

"Old Xu, you pour the coarse salt and blue salt in the sack into that ceramic jar for me, and add hot water to dissolve it."

Xu Zhu heard the words, picked up the sack, poured the blue-black green salt and gray-white coarse salt into the clay jar, and mentioned the hot water that had been prepared, and entered it.

"Alright, next step, Lao Xu and Lao Dian, give me a stir to dissolve them all."

"The rest of the white-robed guards, set the ten clay pots in the house on fire for me, and wait for the owner's command."

Soon, the green salt and coarse salt melted into the water under the stirring of Xu Zhu and Dian Wei.

Dian Wei was a little confused.

Has all the salt melted?
How to extract fine salt?

Could it be that the proprietor knows spells?
But I haven't seen the owner of the village use it?It's really puzzling.

"Well, it's all dissolved."

"Now we have come to the most important step, which is filtering."

"Do you see where the charcoal is wrapped in sackcloth? And the wooden funnel over there?"

"You put the sackcloth wrapped with charcoal under the wooden funnel for me, put three of them, and fix them for me."

Li Yi waved his little hand.

Baipaojun, Dianwei and Xu Zhu got busy.

According to their skills, they quickly fixed the linen cloth wrapped in charcoal wood.

At this time, Li Yi directed again, "Now, you pour the salt water in the pottery jar into the wooden funnel for me."

Dian Wei muttered, "Is that all right?"

Don't be slow to start, quickly pour the brine that melted green salt and coarse salt into the wooden funnel.

Soon.

The light gray solution flowed out slowly.

Seeing this, Li Yixiao showed a satisfied expression on his face, nodded and said, "Yes, you put the brine that flows out into a clay pot, steam it, and boil the water dry."

"Master, can you really extract fine salt like this?"

Xu Zhu poured the light gray salt water left over into the clay pot.

Very puzzled.

They didn't think it was difficult after this operation, did they?

"Just wait."

Li Yi smiled, looked at the filtered salt water, which was boiled, and said again, "Put the lid on the clay pot."

Then, Li Yi sat on the chair and waited patiently.

I don't know how long it took.

Li Yi felt that he was about to fall asleep, but was pushed by Xu Zhu, his voice was full of joy, and he shouted, "Master, Master, the water is dry, the water is dry."

"Look, under the clay pot, there is white salt all around."

"oh oh."

Li Yi woke up, rubbed his eyes in a daze, came to the clay pot, stretched out his little finger, and buckled the white salt in the pot.

Then put it in the mouth.

have a taste.

There is no sense of bitterness, very fine, that's the taste.
