Chapter 103 Salt as Snow
"No." Young Master Gao and others responded at the same time.
The place became busy.
Qin An, on the other hand, invited Ying Zheng, Gong Shuyang and General Lu Mengyi to sit down together.
"Sir, do you have anything else to tell me?" Jiang Lu asked.
Qin An nodded and said: "Of course. Although you are the third son of the village chief, you are also a businessman. Did you come to Zhaojia Village just to listen to me tell some insignificant historical stories?"
Everyone suddenly remembered this incident.
It's all Qin An's fault for actually telling them what will happen in the future, leaving them unable to say anything else.
Meng Yi said: "Brother Zhao Lu has always had the final say on business matters. Sir, you can talk to Brother Zhao Lu."
"Okay." Qin An looked at Zhao Lu and asked, "Can you be responsible for selling the salt from all over the country?"
"What do you mean, sir?" Jiang Lu asked, "Could it be that sir is planning to sell salt? But there are no salt wells here, so how can we make salt?
Besides, these villages in Shili and Baxiang are also salt-producing villages, and Zhaojiacun also relies on buying salt to have salt. "
Qin An smiled and said: "Zhao Yun, take out the salt."
Young Master Gao, who was moving the steamer, heard this and immediately responded: "Sir, wait a moment."
After placing the steamer on the table, Gongzi Gao said: "Brother, you and Hu Hai work together for a while. I will go and get the salt for you and come back."
Fusu smiled and said: "Go ahead, don't let sir wait in a hurry."
"promise."
Young Master Gao quickly ran into the kitchen, then hurried out with a jar of salt, ran to Qin An, and handed it to Qin An respectfully.
"Sir, here you go."
"Thank you, go and do your work." Qin An took the salt shaker and asked Young Master Gao to do his work.
Although Meng Yi was puzzled by Qin An's arbitrary use of Young Master Gao, it was Qin An who puzzled me even more.
I have made it very clear that the salt in Zhaojiacun is also bought from outside, why do I need to bring out the salt?
Ying Zheng was shocked and said: "Sir, did you really extract usable salt from the brine salt?"
"Village Chief, this is impossible." Meng Yi said.
"Maybe it's not possible, then you have to ask sir." Ying Zheng said, and then looked at Qin An and the salt shaker in his hand.
Meng Yi and others looked at Qin An, wanting to hear his explanation.
Qin An said with a smile: "The village should still remember that I said that there are salt mines on the mountain and I can extract salt, so I extracted a lot of salt in the few days when everyone was away.
Now almost every household in the village uses the salt in my hands. "
"That's braised salt, is it really edible?" Ying Zheng said in surprise.
"Of course you can't eat the brine salt. It needs to go through several processes before it can be used. I won't say anything else. I'll just show you the refined salt I purified from the brine salt."
Qin An poured the salt out of the salt shaker directly.
"stop."
"Stop."
"Don't fall down."
Ying Zheng and others couldn't help but shout loudly at the same time.
Everyone looked at Xuehuahua's refined salt and couldn't help but take a breath, and then everyone felt extremely painful.
Especially Gong Shuyang, he had never seen such white and delicate salt.
When these salts are sold, they can be sold for at least ten gold, and they are the kind that have a price but no market. It is really hateful that it is such a waste.
Even Ying Zheng, the First Emperor, couldn't help but breathe quickly when he saw this snow-white salt.
Meng Yi was even more excited. Just now he thought that the salt in Zhaojiacun had to be bought outside, but now he saw refined salt that was as white as Xue's.
"Sir, is this the refined salt you made?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Yes." Qin An replied, "It's just refining some salt. What's the fuss? Outside, a pound of salt is not even enough for a breakfast."
Meng Yi asked: "Is all the salt outside this kind of refined salt?"
"Of course, it's even better than mine. They are abortion lines. I just want the villagers to eat better salt.
Now I have refined a lot, so I want to sell it to other villages. Meng Li, do you think it can be sold? "
"Yes, that's great." Meng Li said excitedly.
Ying Zheng asked: "Sir, what I am more concerned about is the refining method. Is it difficult?"
"It's not difficult." Qin An replied, "Zhao Su and the others have already learned it. This is just a simple refining method in a chemistry course in junior high school.
After the country mastered this refining method, it could not only extract refined salt from brine salt, but also extract sea salt from sea water. "
"Doesn't that mean there is inexhaustible salt in the world?" Meng Li said.
"Of course, otherwise salt wouldn't be so cheap." Qin An replied, "I just wonder why, even though there are salt mines, the villagers use such unpalatable salt, and some villagers even I can't even eat salt.
It's because Zhaojiacun's technology is so backward that everyone doesn't know how to extract it. it's good now.
I informed the villagers of the technology, and now the village has spontaneously built a salt-making workshop.
Lao and Lao took all the extra salt, sold it for me, and bought some things I needed back. "
"This is easy to handle. What do you need, sir?" Meng Li asked.
"Cows, there are too few cattle in the village. There are also cloth and oil. By the way, I also return iron ore and sand. The house has been built, but there are too many materials needed.
Among them, although there are cement and steel villages that I want, they are too few.
Especially for windows, it takes a lot of sand to produce glass, so hopefully, through you guys, I can get what I want. "Qin An said.
"Okay, no problem. Sir, give me a list and I'll prepare it when I get back." Meng Li said.
"Okay, I'm going to write a list now."
As soon as Qin An finished speaking, the person left. After a while, Qin An's room lit up.
As Qin An's room lit up, Fusu and the others lit up the lanterns in the yard and at the door.
This light aroused Gong Shuyang's curiosity.
Ignoring etiquette, he stood up, slowly walked toward the lantern, and asked Principal Li who was lighting the lantern, "What is this?"
"This is a lantern, invented by Mr., it is a must-have for traveling at night." Colonel Li replied.
"Can I have a look next?" Gong Shuyang asked curiously.
"Of course there is no problem." Colonel Li replied, "You can see for yourself. If you don't understand anything, you can ask us."
"Thank you, thank you very much." Gong Shuyang thanked him repeatedly.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "As expected, he is a descendant of Gongshu Luban. He doesn't like being an official, but he likes these strange and obscene things."
Jiang Lu smiled and said: "Father is right, I think that gentleman seems to know a lot of strange and cunning things.
If this was all mastered by the public losers, it would be very detrimental to the Qin Dynasty. Er Chen suggested that it would be better to send more craftsmen to learn from it. "
