"It's thin, white, not bitter, Bigon... I don't know how many times better than the salt we bought in Jiuzhou Town!"
"Haha~~~ I'm so tired. Let's go to bed first. We'll find a way to sell the salt tomorrow!"
Lin Xiao let out a long yawn and walked back to the study with heavy steps.
Looking at Lin Xiao's back as he returned to his room, Li Yuyan had a qualitative change in his view of this "little man".
Being able to make salty salt from poisonous salt rocks is definitely a talent with a bright future!
If we could recruit Lin Xiao, wouldn't it be even more powerful?
By then, revenge... will definitely no longer be a distant dream!
…
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan set off for Jiuzhou Town again.
As soon as they went out, they met a group of women going to the river to wash clothes.
"Hey, where are the young couple going when they get up so early?"
The person who asked the question was a strong, dark-skinned woman.
Her name is Ma Guihua, she is the village chief's daughter-in-law, she is kind but nosy.
The women in the village all looked up to her.
"Go for a walk in town."
Lin Xiao replied casually.
"Do you have money to go to town?" Ma Guihua said with a smile, "Besides, didn't you two already go to town yesterday?"
"I love taking my wife to the town to open her eyes. Not only did I go yesterday, I went today, and I will go every day in the future!"
After saying that, Lin Xiao took Li Yuyan's hand and left quickly. She didn't bother to get too entangled with these talkative women.
"Don't be distracted when you go to town!" Ma Guihua shouted from behind, "If you don't have money, don't pretend to be fat, or you will sell your new wife and not know it!"
The other women laughed so loudly that their flowers trembled, each one louder than the last.
…
It was almost noon when Lin Xiao arrived in the town. Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan rushed to the grain and oil store without stopping.
"Is the shopkeeper here?"
Lin Xiao asked while standing at the door.
"Guest, you are here! Do you have any instructions for me?"
A very simple-looking young man wearing coarse cloth came over and asked.
In the Daxia Dynasty, which emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, the status of merchants was second only to those with low status, which was very humble.
Especially vendors like them who sell grain and oil, almost no one looks down upon them.
Therefore, he was polite to everyone, even if the person was very poor.
"Shopkeeper, have you seen this?"
Lin Xiao took out a small bag of salt and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took it and took a look at it, and asked suspiciously: "Could this be...salt?"
Lin Xiao nodded: "Exactly!"
The shopkeeper put a few grains of salt into his mouth in disbelief. The saltiness and freshness filled his mouth instantly.
He has never tasted this taste before!
"It's really salt." The shopkeeper looked at Lin Xiao in surprise, "Where did you get such good salt? I'm afraid not even tribute salt is of such high quality."
"I made it, do you need it here?"
Lin Xiao did not answer the shopkeeper's words, but changed the subject and asked.
The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Xiaolai carefully.
Although this man wore patched clothes, he could not conceal his innate scholarly temperament, which was inimitable.
Moreover, this person actually knows how to make salt, and the salt produced is of a higher grade than the tribute salt. The shopkeeper can’t help but wonder who this person is!
What is more important is whether the supply of salt is sufficient and whether the price is affordable and reasonable.
"Sir, I wonder what the price of your salt is and whether the supply is sufficient?"
The shopkeeper calmed down and asked.
Li Yuyan opened the basket and handed the clay pot inside to the shopkeeper.
Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, this is the salt I made last night. It's about a pound. How about you give me fifty copper coins?"
The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this. Fifty coppers per pound was slightly more expensive than ordinary coarse salt. If you rounded it up, wouldn't it be the same as picking it up for nothing?
"I want all this salt. Can you send me another ten pounds tomorrow?"
"no problem!"
Li Yuyan carefully put fifty copper coins into the bamboo basket, feeling beyond words with excitement.
Fifty copper coins, which he had never seen since his escape, turned out to be so valuable!
"Let's go, I'll take you to have a nice meal!"
Lin Xiao took Li Yuyan to a noodle shop.
"Man, two big bowls of meat noodles!"
Li Yuyan can no longer remember what the big meat noodles taste like.
"Eat more. Only when we are full can we make more money!"
Lin Xiao greeted.
Li Yuyan glanced angrily at the noodle bowl placed in front of him: "Yeah!"
The noodles made from refined noodles have a chewy and tender texture.
Sprinkle some of the salt sample that Lin Xiao showed the shopkeeper just now, and the taste skyrockets!
What’s up with this unprecedented deliciousness!
Li Yuyan, who had been raised with fine clothes and fine food in the palace since childhood, was actually conquered by an ordinary bowl of meat noodles in Jiuzhou Town!
There is no other reason. The main reason is that no matter how fine the sea salt in the palace is, it always has a slight bitter taste. It is not as bitter as the refined salt made by Lin Xiao, which is not bitter but has a slight umami taste.
He was eating hard, with beads of sweat oozing out from his dark face.
"Well, I can't eat so much, so I'll share some with you!"
"The head of the family..."
Watching Lin Xiao pull the noodles and meat from the bowl into his own bowl, Li Yuyan was moved.
After eating the noodles, Lin Xiao took Li Yuyan to buy some daily necessities.
Fifty copper coins were suddenly reduced by thirty. Lin Xiao sighed, this little money is not enough!
On the way back, Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan went to the bottom of the abyss to carry away fifty or sixty pounds of salt rocks.
…
The sun was setting in the west, and the village women who had finished their farm work were sitting at the entrance of the village, and their parents were chatting briefly.
"Hey, have Xiao Linzi and his wife come back from town?"
Ma Guihua, the wife of the village chief, asked others.
"did not see it."
"You shouldn't be back, right?"
"I don't know. Could it be that he was disgraced in town and was so angry that he never came back?"
"It's very possible that he is a scholar and his temperament is naturally higher than others."
"What if he gets so angry that he gets into a fight? With his small body, he has to be beaten?"
"His black widow wife can tell at a glance that she is not someone to be trifled with. With her here, Xiao Linzi cannot suffer any loss!"
"No matter how easy it is to mess with, she's still a woman, isn't she? Of course women can't beat men."
The village women gossiped about each other, and although their words were harsh, there was also an element of concern.
Seeing that the sun was going down and Lin Xiao and his wife hadn't come back yet, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"You guys stay here and I'll go back and ask the boss if I want to go look for it in the town."
Ma Guihua said anxiously.
"Look, it looks like Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Linzi!"
A village woman pointed to the village entrance and shouted.
Under the setting sun, two figures walked one behind the other. They seemed to be carrying heavy things and it was very difficult to walk.
"Not who they are!"
Ma Guihua muttered, her tone obviously becoming more relaxed.
"Tell me, what did they carry back?"
"Could it be a wild boar?"
Ma Guihua said: "Wild boar? Do they have money to buy it?"
Continuing from the previous article, the taboos for staying in hotels are as follows:
1. When choosing a hotel room, try to choose one near the window, so that the air can circulate and the sun can be seen, and the room will have sufficient Yang energy.
2. Before entering the room, knock on the door first. Firstly, it is to prevent the hotel system from making errors and assign rooms that are already occupied to you. Secondly, it is to tell them that you are coming in and ask them to leave temporarily so as not to bump into them.
3. Try not to choose a room at the front and the end. If the room is at the front, it will be too noisy with people coming and going; at the end, it will be inaccessible and too quiet.
4. Don't use the hotel kettle to cook all kinds of weird things. It's not good. Be obedient.
