The same courtyard, the same figure.
"Daughter-in-law, pack your things quickly, let's get ready to run away!"
Yes, run away!
Su Yang always felt uneasy in his heart.
He simply took his young wife and hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and waited until the Jingnan battle was over before leaving the mountains.
It's just that he didn't notice that there was a conspicuous fat man standing next to his young wife.
"Ms. sir, what did you say? Run away?"
"Yes! Pack your things quickly, we'll run away immediately, we're going to fight!"
"Ms. sir, what are you talking about? A guest is coming!"
Zhu Wanqiu's head was covered with black lines, and she had no choice but to remind him. Only then did Su Yang notice the big fat guy.
"Are you Su Yang?"
"Exactly, I wonder who you are?"
Sensing the strange atmosphere between the two, Zhu Wanqiu immediately stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Ms. sir, this is my...distant cousin!"
Big Fatty was still very proud at first, waiting for Su Yang to bow his head and admit his mistake after knowing his identity.
As a result, the words "distant cousin" were heard, and the smile immediately froze on his face!
"Distant cousin? Sister, are you serious?"
"Yes, cousin, what's the problem?"
Zhu Wanqiu stared fiercely at Big Fatty. Hearing these threatening words, the latter could only nod helplessly.
"Well, I am Wanqiu's cousin!"
"I have met my cousin, I am Wanqiu's husband!"
The two of them saluted each other with a smile on their faces, but their strange looks would send chills down anyone's spine.
Zhu Wanqiu was very helpless. She wanted to tell Su Yang the truth, but she was afraid that Su Yang would leave her after learning her identity. The conflict reached the extreme for a while.
It was Su Yang who took the initiative to speak.
"It's getting late."
Big Fatty was about to nod and accept Su Yang's dinner invitation.
"Cousin, aren't you leaving yet?"
Zhu Gaochi: "???"
Walk?
You won't even let me eat?
Big Fatty's fat face suddenly darkened.
This Su Yang is really a rough man and doesn't understand etiquette!
Zhu Wanqiu hurriedly pulled Su Yang and said cheerfully.
"Ms. sir, it's almost time for dinner, why don't you stay with your cousin for a light meal?"
When Su Yang heard this, he could only nod helplessly.
He was still thinking about running away, but who knew that such an uninvited guest would come!
The little daughter-in-law has already spoken, so what else can I do but pamper her!
"Su Yang, what did you just say about a war?"
Zhu Gaochi's eyes flashed and he asked with a smile.
"Oh, I was just joking."
After saying it casually, Su Yang put the jar of mine salt on the table and went to light a fire to cook.
Although there is not much food left at home, after all guests are coming, so some meat must be prepared.
While Su Yang was busy, Zhu Wanqiu opened the earthen jar curiously. She thought her husband-in-law had brought something delicious for her, but to her surprise, it turned out to be some strange-colored white pieces.
The little girl gently pinched a little coarse salt and put it in her mouth to taste it.
"Bah~"
Soon, Zhu Wanqiu vomited it out.
The taste of this coarse salt is really bad. When she eats salt, it only tastes like salt and has no other bitter taste.
But the salt that my husband brought back tasted very light, but the bitterness and astringency accounted for most of it. In short, it had a strange taste.
"Bah, bah, bah, this salt tastes terrible."
The little girl vomited several times and couldn't help but say with a sad face.
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he looked over and shouted angrily.
"Su Yang!"
"What do you mean?"
"This is mineral salt. If you eat it, you will die!"
Subconsciously, Big Fatty thought that Su Yang wanted to murder his sister.
As the Crown Prince of Yan, Zhu Gaochi has always been well-read, so he also knows a lot about salt and iron.
I don’t like to eat this mineral salt, it will really kill people!
"You are not allowed to be cruel to my husband!"
Before Su Yang could answer, the little girl glared at Zhu Gaochi angrily.
The look of him protecting the calf made Big Fatty feel that he had no love left in his life.
Once upon a time, my sister protected me!
Damn Su Yang!
Su Yang came over after hearing this and put the lid back on the jar.
"This is mine salt. I just bought it at the market."
"You knew this was poisonous salt, but why did you bring it back?"
Zhu Gaochi frowned and his tone was no longer so polite.
If Su Yang really had bad intentions, he wouldn't mind letting the secret guards outside the door rush in right now, peel off the boy's skin and light up the sky lantern!
"Who told you that you can't eat mineral salt?"
Big Fatty: “???”
Um?
Damn it?
Are you really going to eat it?
Forget it, let the father kill him!
Zhu Gaochi was too lazy to talk nonsense to this ignorant idiot and was about to order the arrest.
Zhu Wanqiu was also at a loss, and then she pulled Su Yang and said urgently.
"Sir, this mineral salt is really inedible. Someone ate it before and lost his life."
"How about we don't eat this salt, sir..."
Looking at the coquettish little girl, Su Yang smiled warmly.
"Don't worry, this salt must not be eaten directly."
"There are too many poisonous things in it, so eating it directly will kill you."
"But just remove the poisonous things in it and refine it into edible salt. The salt our family used to eat was all made by buying sea salt and refining it!"
As soon as these words came out, Big Fatty was a little shocked.
Su Yang knows how to make salt?
Can toxic mineral salts be extracted?
"Su Yang, do you really know how to make salt?"
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but ask, his words full of expectations.
He knew very well what this meant.
If Su Yang really understood this salt-making process, it would be an inexhaustible mountain of gold and silver!
Su Yang rolled his eyes at him and ignored him, but turned to look at the porridge he had cooked.
Zhu Gaochi was not discouraged even after suffering a defeat in Su Yang. He pulled Zhu Wanqiu and whispered.
"Sister, tell me honestly, your husband really knows how to make salt?"
"I don't know about this, but the salt at home is measured in metric sizes!"
Zhu Wanqiu took out a salt shaker as she spoke.
Zhu Gaochi's face was full of suspicion. He opened the salt jar and saw that there was still a little salt in it, but Prince Yan suddenly exclaimed!
This salt is crystal clear and flawless, and it is not ordinary at first glance.
Zhu Gaochi stretched out his hand, stuck a little of it and put it into his mouth, his eyes suddenly widened!
"Is this... fine green salt?"
He is the Crown Prince of Yan, a nobleman of the old Zhu family, but even the salt he eats on weekdays is just ordinary green salt.
Especially after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Yan Palace began a series of planning and preparations.
But whether it’s saving food and grass or recruiting talents, it all costs money!
The Yan Palace's finances have long been unable to make ends meet, and now they can't even afford green salt.
So Zhu Gaochi looked at the fine green salt in the jar in front of him, and his eyes almost popped out!
There are two jars of salt on the table, one is valuable green salt, and the other is poisonous mineral salt.
Big Fatty looked left and right, and suddenly became confused. A terrible thought came to his mind involuntarily!
Is it possible that Su Yang really knows how to make salt?
