Chapter 324: It’s said that Wu Yan is really better than Xue

Xie Bao asked with a smile: "Several people have eaten Wu Yan."

Several private salt dealers shook their heads honestly.

"I have seen it, and I have tasted it a little on my tongue, but where can I bear to eat something precious?"

Xie Bao suddenly stood up and said, "It's too late at this time, so why don't the guests stay in our village to rest."

Several salt merchants didn't understand why, but they really planned to spend the night in Niugang Village tonight, so they all thanked Jie Bao for his kindness.

Jie Bao asked the farmer to cook with fire. A farmer set up an iron pot in the yard, threw the large piece of deer meat cleaned into the pot, added onion and ginger, poured in clean water, and grabbed another handful of fine ones.

Throw the white salt into the pot.

Seeing this scene, Li Cai and the several vendors who came to collect salt were all very distressed. Although they thought the offer from Jie Bao was too expensive, they all had to admit that it was the best salt, and it was just thrown into the pot by the shopkeeper.

This large sum of money costs more than twenty papers.

The shopkeeper covered the lid and started cooking meat. Jie Bao sat there to drink tea with them. When the soup boiled, Jie Bao suddenly got up and took the people to the side of the pot to see.

Li Cai and a few private salt dealers were surprised when they looked into the pot. There were many sticky oily things cooked in the pot of soup, and salt was added early. At this time, a layer of foam floated on the boiling pot.

But they found that the foam floating on the soup was only white and white in flesh and fat, and there was no other variegated color.

These people are all veterans in the salt industry and instantly understand how powerful this pot of stuff is.

A private salt dealer couldn't help but whisper: "Is this salt so clean?"

They all know that the salt content is high in these days. If you cook this broth with other salt, the foam that floats at this time will definitely be gray, and the pink and white foam is obviously enough to show that the purity of the salt is so good.

What is it?

"Everyone is tired, so I'll ask the shopkeeper to bring some fruits to drink."

Everyone's eyes were attracted by Jie Bao's words, so they saw that Bao asked Zhuangke to bring some wild fruits such as sour plums picked from the mountain. All of these wild fruits were frozen in the mountain spring water. At this time, it was very cool to buy them.

It was gratifying, and in addition to a large pot of wild fruits, Jie Bao also asked the merchants to put a small plate with fine white salt in front of each person.

Li Cai and a few private salt dealers instantly understood Jie Bao’s intention. People in this era were very obsessed with pure salt. The best way to taste the legendary Wu salt is to dip it in salt.

Jie Bao can put fruit and salt in front of them at the same time. Is he so confident in his products?

Li Cai muttered in his heart that Lijia Village also made private salt, so he naturally used the sea salt produced by himself to dip it in fruits. However, no matter how they deal with the sea salt they made, it will inevitably have a bitter taste. At most, it can only be mixed coldly.

For vegetables, you must add more sour vinegar to cover the sour and bitter taste, which is their best product.

If they dip their salt into fruits, not only will they not be able to give the fruits a taste, but they will make the originally delicious fruits difficult to eat.

Li Cai couldn't help but take a plum, bite it through a mouthful and dip the sour plum into the salt plate in front of him.

The white salt in the dish is as pure as snow, and the bright red plums stick to a few salt flowers as soon as they are dipped in, which makes people feel very sour.

Li Cai put the salt-dipped plum into his mouth and bit it gently, "Hiss!"

The fresh plums are refreshing juice in the mouth. The pure salty and fresh sour taste are instantly blended together, and they complement each other, instantly making people feel salivated and their appetites open!

Li Cai couldn't help but widen his eyes! Finally, he understood why high-ranking officials and nobles like to dip fruits in salt. Every time he took a bite, he almost reminded him how pure the salt he was eating at this time!

The knife is like water, Wu Yan is better than Xue, and his slender hands breaks the new orange.

Eat with the most advanced white salt dipped in fruits. This is not a fruit, this is a money!

Li Cai was instantly surprised and jealous.

He has seen people from Niugang Village make salt before, but the quality is not as good as him. After a while, Jie Bao in front of him can actually make such good salt!

And anyone can tell how high the quality of the salt is when dipped in the fruit. The fresh taste of the fruit makes any bitter and sour taste particularly prominent in the salt. Li Cai knew that all the salt he had eaten was impossible.

After dipping the fruit, it will enhance the taste of the fruit to such a high degree.

The quality of Jie Bao's beauty has passed this test is enough to show that the quality of the batch of white salt produced by their Niugang Village is likely to really reach Wu Yan's level.

Wu Yan, which is 100 min per pound, is really not expensive.

A salt dealer suddenly stood up:

"I bought it for one hundred coins per pound!"

Finally, he started his first order with a very rich business. When he saw the salt dealers leaving, Jie Bao was so happy that he almost wanted to yell.

He looked back at his Niugang Village and felt full of passion.

In the following days, news that fine salt was sold in Niugang Village in Jiebao was soon spread.

Although Haizhou is one of the main salt-producing areas of the Song Dynasty, the local area produces some crude and poor quality salt, and the demand for high-end fine salt is still very high.

After the news of the production of fine salt in Niugang Village in Jiebao spread, it quickly attracted more vendors to come and buy it.

And Jie Bao himself also began to make up his mind.

The current salt sales in Niugang Village are so popular because of the salt-making method brought by his master Sun Xin. Anyone who gets this method can make money every day. If you just do this honestly, how can you give everyone your own money in the supervision committee.

An impression of being able to do things?

If you want to make a name for yourself, you must have more performance.

After careful observation, Xie Bao found that although there were many private salt dealers coming to Niugang Village, they were willing to offer the price of white salt in Niugang Village, at most 105 cents. He wanted to shout a higher price.

It’s not up, but it’s still the case that many vendors compete with each other, and the real Wu Yan price can be at least 130 cents.

I asked some private salt dealers, and the salt dealers also said that although the quality of the refined salt produced by Jie Bao was sufficient, compared with the best Wu salt, the price was definitely not high. How many years did Wu salt have been used to get it.

With such a reputation, how could the salt produced by Jie Bao and others be able to be achieved in a short period of time?

Jie Bao gradually felt that there was a lack of a breakthrough in his heart. As long as he could expose the reputation of white salt in Niugang Village, he would definitely increase the price of the salt.

Jie Bao settled the score in his heart. Now there are more than 130 people in Niugang Village under his command, and more than 70 of them are specially prepared for the future salt manufacturing industry. And Sun Xin said before that Niugang Village will be in the future.

The scale is this level.

Nowadays, ordinary salt workers can produce about 400 kilograms of salt per year, and the refined salt they make nowadays is more labor-intensive, so on average, it is good if one person can produce 300 kilograms a year. Each kilogram of refined salt per kilogram is considered a good idea.

The cost is about ten cents. If you sell it for 100 cents per kilogram like now, then the net profit is ninety cents. The profit that the entire village can make in one year is 1,900 taels.

The premium barely reached two thousand taels.

Two thousand taels are the initial start-up capital scale of the Haizhou Construction Supervision Council proposed by Sun Xin at the supervision committee before. Xie Bao knew that Sun Xin was equipped with him at such an amount, but since he was here, would he still be there?

Just earn it based on this amount of money?

He called several salt merchants under his command and asked them: "Is there any way to mark our salt so that you can tell at a glance that this is the good salt produced in our Niugang Village?"

Several salt workers thought carefully after hearing this, and an old salt owner suggested: "We can add some color-making things into the salt. I know that some people add white ash to the salt, so that the salt will look whiter, but ours

The salt is already white enough, and it is afraid that it will not work if you add it."

Xie Bao thought for a while, "This method is OK. You can add other colors without white color."

As soon as he reminded him, someone immediately thought of it, "I heard that someone in a pharmacy specializes in making medicinal salt, which is to add powder to the salt. Such salt smells fragrant, but is used as medicine.

, the color will change."

Jie Bao's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, "This is a good idea. There is a doctor brought by Sun Ji in our village. I will ask him to study a prescription later to see how to add some salt to the salt.

The colored things are so beautiful that people can recognize at a glance that this is the salt produced in our Niugang Village."

Someone said, "If I were to make medicinal salt, I also heard that someone in the south put the salt in a bamboo tube and burn it. After burning for a long time, the salt will turn purple, that is bamboo salt, and the thing sold is also

The most expensive ones can only be made into bamboo salt and used. They are also a precious medicinal material.”

Jie Bao nodded, but he had made medicine before and said, "The preparation of medicinal materials is the most troublesome. You have to burn bamboo salt with a bamboo tube. This process is probably not as easy as it sounds. You can also call someone first.

Study slowly.”

At this time, the oldest Dengzhou salt householder, who was present, spoke slowly.

"There is the easiest way to make our salt different from others' homes, but you all forgot..."

The seniority of this old salt worker is the highest among their salt households. In terms of calculation, they are all their uncles and even grandfathers. Moreover, their ancestral skills have never made any mistakes in boiling sea for many years. This time their family is here.

If you can come to Haizhou, Xie Bao will come to invite him in person.

When everyone was actively expressing their opinions just now, the old salt worker was thinking and not speaking. At this time, everyone looked at him as soon as he spoke.
