Naturally, Li Sheng wouldn't be bothered by telling Chang Le all kinds of little knowledge.
First of all, loli are the cutest creatures in the world.
Secondly, since I have accepted someone’s apprenticeship, shouldn’t I have to teach him if I have any questions?
However, Li Sheng is still a little confused. Starting from Xiaoyatou, the senior sister, he has accepted so many apprentices this year...
If everyone came to ask this question, I would really not be able to finish the story.
Thinking like this, Li Er suddenly talked about the gift.
Immediately afterwards, he took out an exquisite lacquer box from beside him.
"Old Li, this..."
Li Sheng was still a little curious about Lao Li's gift.
In the past few times, Lao Li, Lao Du and others had always done things for themselves when returning favors.
For formal gifts, the first thing I gave was a sword...
But besides swords, what gifts did these ancient wealthy merchants usually give?
This Li Sheng is really curious.
Soon, I saw Li Er opening the paint box.
Li Sheng took a look and saw that it was a piece of yellowing coarse-grained sand!
As the lacquer box was opened, Li Er smiled proudly: "Sir, this gift... isn't it interesting for us, Old Li?"
"Such a good thing, Lao Li specially brought ten kilograms for you this time!"
After Li Er finished speaking, Li Sheng was stunned.
What the hell is this good thing?
I can’t even recognize myself…
"Lao Li, what is this?"
Hearing Li Sheng ask this, it was Li Er's turn to be surprised.
"Sir, this is salt."
“Excellent salt!”
…
After Li Er said this, Li Sheng was even more stunned.
"Salt??"
I couldn't believe it for a moment, this thing...
The presentation is really not that good.
Isn’t it outrageous that this can be used as a gift?
However, out of politeness, Li Sheng dipped a little of it with his finger and put it into his mouth.
then……
His brows furrowed tightly, "I'll go, Lao Li...you are such a person."
"You're just stingy, why did you give me this thing...?"
Li Sheng felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he had provided Lao Li with help and advice so many times. In future generations... professional consultations are all chargeable.
Wronged!
But at the same time, Li Er felt even more aggrieved.
Queen Changsun was also stunned, even...
Even Xiao Changle couldn't help it, "Master, this is the best salt in the world, and dad even chose it himself. This kind of salt has no bitter taste, and ordinary people can't afford it."
"No bitter taste? I'll wipe it..."
Hearing what Xiao Changle said, Li Sheng couldn't help but be stunned.
Then... he looked at Li Er and others in shock, "This salt is so bitter, do you still call it not bitter?"
"No, do you give this to your children on weekdays?"
As he said this, Li Sheng's face became a little ugly.
Li Er's face turned red, and Queen Changsun's face also became hot...
Could it be...there's something wrong with the salt I brought this time?
This possibility is really not small!
Even though Li Er lived in the palace, he had never tasted bad salt. The taste was often not discernible from its appearance.
The tribute salt in the palace is all selected and sent in if it is of good quality.
At this time, several ministers on the side, Du Ruhui and others... saw this and secretly shook their heads. Although His Highness is talented, he is a bit arrogant.
After all, this is the salt that His Majesty brought from the palace, and of this quality, it would cost at least dozens of pounds per kilogram in the market.
This time it weighs ten pounds, so the gift is really not light.
Your Highness's response... Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the Prince is much better in this regard...
But as a minister, he still knows what he should do.
Du Ruhui immediately smiled and smoothed things over and said, "Hey, hey, Lao Li, I'm telling you to be careful when buying salt. There are too many fake products on the market, and there are endless scammers. This salt looks good, but it doesn't make sense when you eat it.
It’s for sure!”
"That's right, let me, Old Fang, try it!"
Fang Xuanling naturally knew that the atmosphere was not good, so she also dipped her finger in the salt box.
In fact, he felt that if it could be stored in this expensive lacquer box, the salt could not be bad salt.
But...it's obvious that the young master can't be stupid, so maybe there's something wrong with the salt.
but……
After tasting it...
Fang Xuanling had a strange look on her face, "This... this salt seems to be... okay, sir..."
Immediately afterwards, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng also tasted it.
Then, he also showed the same expression...
Several strange eyes were all looking at Li Sheng, "Sir, this salt is very good, why..."
"If we ever offend the young master, just tell him directly. There is no need..."
Hearing people say this,
This time Li Sheng was also confused, "No, everyone, do you really think this is good salt?"
Li Sheng's rhetorical question made Du Ruhui and others want to shout loudly.
No, sir.
This salt has a good salty taste and less bitterness. This is the tribute salt in the palace, the best salt in the world!
It's because Li Er brought them here to have a meal this time. Thinking of the delicious food here in Li Sheng, it's a feast for the taste every time... so he thought of bringing some tribute salt from the palace.
Wouldn't it be better to replace the folk slag salt with tribute salt?
Who knows, but there may be something wrong with His Highness's sense of taste...
No one knew how to answer the call for a moment.
Li Sheng was also stunned for a long time.
This salt really doesn’t look like something you can eat...
However, he was not dazed for too long. He quickly came to his senses and turned to the maid.
"Mian'er, go to the kitchen to get some salt!"
"Yes! Master!"
After a while, Mian'er came to the front hall carrying a cup of salt.
In Li Sheng's house, whether it is barbecue or hot pot, all the seasonings are prepared in advance, so Li Er and others have never seen it.
This time a cup of salt was brought over. When everyone saw it, they were instantly dumbfounded.
The contents of this cup are pure white and flawless.
Like snowflakes!
Not only that, there are also bits and pieces of light shining in it.
If you don’t say it’s salt, just say it’s jewelry, Li Er will believe it!
The moment they saw this cup of something, Li Er and others were stunned.
Even Xiao Chang Le opened his eyes in disbelief!
Everyone took a deep breath, and then... raised their heads and looked at Li Sheng in shock.
"Mr. Gong... Gongzi..."
"This...this...this is..."
"Sir, this is...salt?!"
The shock in everyone's hearts was like a raging tsunami.
What the hell is this salt?
This is clearly real jewelry!
Yes, this is a kind of jewelry.
Even Empress Changsun, who was used to seeing jewelry, found it completely unbelievable.
Even for jewelry, she has never seen such exquisite ones!
Who believes it if it is said to be salt????
next moment……
Li Er dipped his finger into the salt cup and put it into his mouth...
