Chapter 255 Let’s develop fine salt

"Well, Zhao Chen, your skills are really nothing to say. Even here, you can smell the scent of the nose."
"It seems like you are far away from me."
Zhao Chen replied casually.
Old Li insisted on following the kitchen and said he wanted to add fuel to his own.
But at the beginning, even fire cannot be generated.
Sometimes, I can suffocate the fire in the stove.
That made Zhao Chen angry.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu stood at the door. Before, they heard the emperor being scolded by Zhao Chen, but they didn't even dare to look back.
Now that I heard the words in it, I couldn't help but read them again.
"Hehe, your skills are really nothing to say. It was because of these delicious foods that I had put on your kid's hook." Li Shimin looked at the aromatic dishes in the pot and gurgled several times.
Li Shimin remembered that when he first met Zhao Chen, it was because of the calligraphy at the entrance of the tavern.
After entering, Li Shimin tasted the delicious tastes completely.
But now Li Shimin will be very grateful.
If I hadn't walked into the tavern, I wouldn't have met Zhao Chen later, and I would have no way of knowing his identity.
It is impossible to see so many novel ideas and inventions from Zhao Chen.
When Li Shimin thought of this, he felt that God was helping him.
"Old Li, why are you standing there? Add firewood!" Zhao Chen looked over and shouted.
The bottom of the pot that was still sizzling just now is gone now.
Li Shimin was sighing in his heart, glad that he met Zhao Chen, and suddenly he was scolded like this, and his expression suddenly collapsed.
He curled his lips, glared at Zhao Chen, and hurried to the stove, and was in a hurry.
At this time, Yu Shinan and others were waiting outside.
The emperor was cooking in the kitchen, and no one of them dared to stay away.
Fortunately, there were enough yamen runners in charge of inspections in front, otherwise they would have been unable to do anything.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty? It's so good, why do you have to cook by yourself?"
"A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, let alone His Majesty the Emperor. What magic does Zhao Chen have?"
The examiners outside were frowning at this moment.
What is the emperor's identity? He has to go to the kitchen?
"Everyone, go and have dinner first. Just guard me here." Yu Shinan said to the examiners.
Even he couldn't understand why the emperor valued Zhao Chen so much.
There are so many capable people in the world, so why don’t the emperor treat others like this?
It's this Zhao Chen special.
The officials left one after another, leaving only Yu Shinan and Wei Zheng.
"Doctor Wei, where did this Zhaoxian Marquis come from? What did Your Majesty do to do this?" Yu Shinan looked at Wei Zheng and asked in a low voice.
"The Marquis of Zhao County is quite capable, and Your Majesty is eager to seek talent, so naturally..."
"Doctor Wei, although I am old, I am not a fool. The Marquis of Zhao County is very capable, but this is not the main reason why His Majesty treats him like this."
"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and you Wei Zheng is a straight minister. Do you dare to talk to Your Majesty like this?" Yu Shinan said lightly.
He didn't believe Wei Zheng's words at all.
If it were anyone who spoke to the emperor like this, he would have been killed in anger by the emperor.
When the emperor gets angry, he bleeds thousands of miles away, regardless of whether you have the real ability or not.
"Then you have to ask His Majesty about this, I don't know about this." Wei Zheng shook his head.
Even if you have any guesses in your heart, there are some things that cannot be told to others.
In particular, Yu Shinan was also the teacher of King Wei.
"I accidentally heard people discuss that the Marquis of Zhao County is very similar to His Majesty when he was young..."
"Mr. Yu, it's just a guess. If you spread this matter, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court. Is this what you want to see?"
"And, we have no evidence to explain the relationship between Zhao Chen and His Majesty."
"Mr. Yu, please do your own thing!" Wei Zheng's expression changed slightly and warned Yu Shinan.
Wei Zheng didn't know what special relationship between Zhao Chen and the emperor.
But none of these matters anymore.
He only knew that once this news came out, the prince and the King of Wei would definitely target Zhao Chen.
The emperor and the queen value Zhao Chen so much.
If something really happened to Zhao Chen, the prince and the King of Wei could live in a high place.
If it is not done well, it will be a major event that will disrupt the government.
"I'm just asking, it's enough to have a clear idea in my heart. The Marquis of Zhao County is good, if he can..."
"Why are you two still here? You don't find a place to eat dinner?" Before Yu Shinan finished speaking, he saw the emperor walking here with a plate of steaming dishes.
"We are worried that Your Majesty will give you important things, so we will stay here." Yu Shinan bowed with a smile.
"Well, I'm fine and tell you, hurry up and find a place to eat yourself."
"You don't have a meal today." Li Shimin said to the two of them with a smile.
He turned around and took the dishes to the lobby.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were also one by one and delivered them to each other.
...
"Well, maybe I'm hungry today. Zhao Chen, your craft is more sophisticated than before."
In the lobby, Li Shimin held a bowl of rice and ate it was so fragrant.
"But the taste is a little light." Li Shimin said again.
"If you feel it's light, you can go to the kitchen to scoop two spoons of salt and eat it slowly." Zhao Chen was too lazy to say that Lao Li was too late.
Someone cooks for him to eat, but he is still picking here, so he is simply not a human being.
"Hey, you think you don't want to. If the fine salt wasn't too expensive, I would definitely scoop two spoons."
"Brother Zhao, you bought all the ingredients you usually have in the tavern by Uncle Fu." Li Shimin put down his chopsticks and asked.
Zhao Chen nodded.
He was in poor health before and couldn't even get out of the door.
All the ingredients in this tavern were organized by Uncle Fu alone.
"That's a big wonder. Do you know how much the fine salt costs?" Li Shimin showed a joke.
It seems that Zhao Chen is not sure.
"I told you that a pound of fine salt costs a hundred yuan. Many people buy salt by money. How precious is salt? Do you know now?" Li Shimin smiled again.
Li Shimin felt that he had finally grasped Zhao Chen's shortcomings.
I told myself so much before, but I didn’t even know what the price of salt is now.
Li Shimin thought that he could make a good joke about Zhao Chen later.
Picking up the chopsticks, Li Shimin chewed slowly and ate the rice, waiting to see Zhao Chen's face change.
Zhao Chen never thought about the problem that the salt industry in the Tang Dynasty was not developed.
After Lao Li said this, he remembered that at this time of the Tang Dynasty, fine salt produced very little.
Coarse salt is toxic and cannot be eaten directly.
This leads to the very expensive price of fine salt.
Ordinary families are reluctant to put salt when cooking.
For a moment, Zhao Chen thought of a new plan to make money.
