Chapter 19 How fine and white this salt is

Cao Han soared in the air, but she didn't show any fear. She turned around flexibly in mid-air, as if she was standing on the air.

With the force of falling, Cao Han stepped directly onto Lu Yao's shoulder.

Lu Yao's originally prepared moves could no longer be used. All that was left to him was Cao Han's soles, unable to cause substantial damage to her.

But this punch still has to be thrown.

He raised his fist upwards and hit Cao Han firmly on the sole of his shoe.

Cao Han's own weight plus the acceleration of his descent showed that he was indeed not light.

Lu Yao was forced to bend his legs all the time before he could resolve the force.

However, he was not feeling well, and his right arm was already aching.

Cao Han's left leg also began to feel numb. When he jumped to the ground, he took five or six steps back before stopping himself.

The two looked at each other for another ten seconds before starting to move. During these ten seconds, they were alleviating the pain in their bodies.

Cao Han made a fist and then palmed his hand, slashing at Lu Yao's neck, and struck Lu Yao's chest with his other hand.

Lu Yao took a step back and swayed his body left and right to dodge both attacks with difficulty.

Cao Han refused and rushed forward again. This time the target was his waist on both sides because this place was difficult to defend.

Lu Yao was shocked.

Cao Han was young, and every time he struck, he was in a dead-end position.

Just like this move, even if he used ordinary Taekwondo moves to prevent it, he would still be injured.

After getting no results, Lu Yao could only think of using Tai Chi to use strength to overcome strength with softness.

Lu Yao drew a half-circle with his hands on his chest and held each other's hands from left to right.

Pushing Cao Han's arms outward, he released the power of his hands along Cao Han's arms, then crossed his hands across Cao Han's arms, and landed firmly on her shoulders.

The huge force pushed Cao Han a dozen steps away.

Cao Han stood up with her hands closed, her arms trembling slightly. She knew that she was a bit too much today, and she started to attack Lu Yao without understanding his true strength. Looking at the situation today, it would be difficult for her to defeat Lu Yao.

It's better to just give up and fight another day.

Cao Han snorted coldly, "Lu Yao, just wait for me, our grudges are still going on."

Cao Han got on his horse and rode away without even asking for a whip.

Looking at Cao Han's leaving figure, Lu Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Cao Han left on his own. If he was beaten and carried away, Uncle Cao Guo would still have to fight for him.

Pan Wen jumped in front of Lu Yao and said happily: "Brother Lu, I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a few days, you would come back with a lot of skills. Don't look at Sister Cao's young age. Countless generals have been defeated by her.

, many people looked at her as if they were running away, but I didn’t expect you to actually beat her away. If Sister Cao wants to hit me in the future, you must stand in front of me."

"Okay, okay, I promise you, let's go back as soon as possible." Lu Yao was anxious to go back and study how to plant the crops he brought. It is already December, and he will be able to plant them in his own farm in the spring of next year.

I planted these things in the garden. I haven't had the dish of potato stewed chicken for a long time, and I miss it very much.

And he didn't want to be looked at as an animal by so many people.

The two of them got on the carriage and walked towards Lu Mansion.

At the entrance of Cao Mansion.

Cao Han threw his horse at the door and rushed into the house angrily.

When Cao Yi saw his daughter coming back, he asked loudly, "Have you met Lu Yao?"

Cao Han snorted and turned his head to the side, not wanting to talk to Cao Yi.

Seeing his daughter's expression, he, as a father, also became interested and asked with a smile: "Isn't it Han'er that you suffered a loss at the hands of Lu Yao?"

"Father, you are not allowed to say that." Cao Han's cheeks bulged slightly and his face was flushed.

"Hahaha. It's true, Han'er, that you didn't get any benefits from Lu Yao, otherwise you should have walked in with a smile, instead of being as frowning as you are now."

"I've long heard that Lu Yao was born with divine power. I wonder what moves he has in his hands and how many moves you and he will win or lose."

"I didn't lose. I just saw Lu Yao's sincere repentance, so I didn't embarrass him and rode back home." Cao Han lied. He didn't want Cao Yi to know that he couldn't even beat Lu Yao with one move.

"Really?" Cao Yi laughed.

Cao Han nodded, "That's it, you still can't trust your daughter."

"It seems that's really the case."

As he said that, Cao Yi suddenly took action and attacked his daughter. The move he used was Cao Han's first move. He knew that his daughter would definitely use this move as her first move when competing with others.

Cao Han was not surprised when she saw her father using moves. They usually sparred like this, otherwise where would her martial arts skills come from.

But she suddenly remembered the move used by Lu Yao, which seemed to be very useful for her.

She is a student of martial arts, and she can learn 70% to 80% of the moves Lu Yao used after seeing them once.

She stretched out her hands, grabbed Cao Yi's arms, and threw him on his back.

Next, they seemed to have reenacted the battle at the Suzaku Gate.

But Cao Han became Lu Yao.

It's just that at the end, Cao Jin didn't take a dozen steps back like Cao Han, but only took three steps back.

The main reason is that Cao Han didn't learn the essence of Lu Yao's strength, and the strength in his own hands was not as strong as Lu Yao's.

Cao Han opened his mouth in surprise. No matter how hard he tried, he could only make Cao Yi take a step back. He didn't expect that by imitating Lu Yao's moves, he could easily do what she had not done in more than ten years.

She suddenly had an idea in her mind, to find an opportunity to secretly learn all the Kungfu from Lu Yao.

Cao Yi laughed loudly: "Then Lu Yao is indeed quite capable."

Cao Han's face was red with embarrassment. Now she finally knew that Cao Yan was using Lu Yao's trick on her, "Father, you are bullying your daughter."

"If you lose the face, go and get it back." Cao Yan laughed and left.

This fight was about love and affection. Lu Yao also had skills in his hands. Let the two fight for a few more times. Then the feelings would come. Finally, his daughter could get married, and so could the big stone in his heart.

Let it go.

Lu Mansion.

Lu Yao ordered his servants to move everything on the carriage to his room.

"Erlang, are you sure you want to move things to your room? There is a warehouse at home!" Uncle Fu appeared next to Lu Yao.

"It's not safe in the warehouse. Put it in the room so that I can look at it every day so that I can feel at ease." Lu Yao explained, and shouted to the servants: "Be careful. Don't damage it. These things are better than yours."

Life is more important."

Lu Xu is not at home at this time, he must have gone to the Yamen.

Lu Hao arrived late with a sad face.

He had no shame in coming to see Lu Yao, but Lu Yao cleverly avoided the things he failed to accomplish. Even his father smiled when he left the house and said that Lu Yao ran well this time.

But when he heard the noise in the front yard, he came over to see what was going on.

"Erlang, why did you come back with so many things? We don't lack anything at home." These things were carried out of the carriage bag by bag. At first glance, it was clear that a lot of money had been spent. Although the Lu family did not lack anything.

You can't help spending money like this.

In fact, he didn't know that Lu Yao hadn't taken a penny since he came to Lu Mansion. Even Lu Xu didn't know, thinking that all the money Lu Yao spent was taken from the accounting room, because Lu Yao often did this before.

"No money was spent. These are all things I had outside before."

Lu Yao said that Lu Hao's face looked better. It turned out that his life was not bad when he disappeared, and he had so many things to eat and use.

Suddenly, a servant moved a box of salt and fell it to the ground, and all the twenty packets of salt inside fell out.

The servant quickly got up and put the salt back into the carton one by one.

Lu Hao looked at these packages and found them very novel. He picked up a bag of salt, looked left and right, and finally figured out how to open it.

After tearing open a small opening, Lu Hao saw the snow-white salt grains. After tasting it, his expression changed drastically, "This... this... this..."

He became a little incoherent and hurriedly ran to Lu Yao, "This... this is salt."

"Of course it's salt, haven't you already eaten a few grains?" Lu Yao felt that it was necessary for Lu Hao to make such a fuss. It was just salt, and it was not like there was no such thing in the Song Dynasty.

"But...but...how could the salt be so white and so thin?" Lu Yao suddenly thought something bad...

When he was cooking before, he complained about how the salt was yellow and whether he would get sick if he ate it. However, he did not expect that the refined salt in the Song Dynasty had such a color, and the salt that the common people ate was even worse in color. In ancient times, it did not exist at all.

When it comes to purification, even the wine is only about ten degrees, so how can the impurities contained in the salt be removed.

However, he still said calmly: "This is all the salt I made myself. It is different from the ones outside. It's nothing special."

Lu Hao did not calm down. He took out his handkerchief and poured out a little salt, then put the rest of the salt into Lu Yao's hand and hurried away.

Half an hour later, Lu Xu hurried back and ordered people to close the door of the house quickly.

After arriving at the main hall, he shouted: "Where is Erlang? Where is Yan?"

Not long after, Lu Yao was invited over by his servants, and all the carton of salt was brought over.

Lu Yao thought it was a trivial matter, but issues related to salt were never trivial, but a national matter.

Lu Hao spread his handkerchief on the table, and Lu Xu pointed at the fine white salt and asked, "Erlang, tell me truthfully, where does this salt come from? There can be no deception."

Of course Lu Yao couldn't tell the truth. Could it be that if he said that these salts were brought from time to time, Lu Xu would probably regard him as a lunatic.

"Father, I really made this myself, otherwise you wouldn't see this kind of salt anywhere else," Lu Yao said.

"Erlang, are you still deceiving your father? The entire Song Dynasty cannot produce such salt. How did you do it? Maybe you have discovered a new salt mine."

"I really did it myself, why don't you believe it? Besides, there was no shortage of salt in the Song Dynasty, and I didn't find any salt mines." Lu Yao felt that Lu Xu was a stubborn old man and didn't believe it no matter what he said.

"Why is there no shortage of salt in the Song Dynasty? No matter how much salt there is, it is not enough."

The price of salt in the Northern Song Dynasty was very high because there was a shortage of salt in the Northern Song Dynasty. A lot of it was green salt smuggled from Xixia. If another salt mine can be found, the price of salt can drop a little and more people can eat it.

Salt, and the salt tax that the court could collect would be more, but Lu Yao said that no salt mines had been found, which made Lu Xu somewhat disappointed.

"Since you keep saying that you made this salt, then you make this kind of snow-white fine salt in front of my father today."

"What's so difficult about this? Just wait while I prepare some tools." Lu Yao is a top student in scientific research. He still doesn't know how to remove impurities and purify salt.
