The water in the iron pot was boiling until only the shallowest layer was left. Regardless of the high temperature of the flame, Liang Chuan reached out and moved the iron pot directly down. It was so hot that he shook his hand. Ah Yue saw that Liang Chuan suffered a loss, and finally gained some balance in his heart. , laughed out loud.
"This is God's punishment for you!"
Children have a somewhat gloating nature.
Liang Chuan glared at A Yue: "Okay, you should be able to get your money back. Originally, because you invested a lot of money and bravely invested with me, I will give you 20 cents. Now I will give you a discount. I can only give you fifteen cents!"
Ah Yue pointed at Liang Chuan's nose. She was so small that she was not afraid of Liang Chuan's big body. She said in a milky voice: "Stop lying to me. If you can make money, you won't even have enough for yourself. Why would you be so kind as to give it to me?" ? Just treating me like a child! It’s easy to defraud our children’s money!”
Ah Yue is just a child!
The work was done, Liang Chuan said to Ah Yue: "Hey, you said this yourself, I didn't force you!"
Ah Yue pinched her waist bravely, made a face at Liang Chuan, and returned directly to the house without looking back.
Liang Chuan scraped off all the salt water and brine from the iron pot, dissolved the remainder with water, squeezed out any remaining bits, and poured it into a large bowl.
There is not much salt water left after boiling, and a bowl can just fit it.
It turns out that after one pound of coarse salt is purified, there is only about twelve dozen left, and the efficiency is about 60%. With only these simplest tools at hand, Liang Chuan is extremely satisfied with this result!
He lightly tapped some salt with his finger and put it in his mouth to taste it. This was the fine salt he wanted to eat!
At this time, the fine salt no longer has that sour or astringent smell. Although there is still a trace of bitterness, the taste is close to the refined salt refined in later generations!
Liang Chuan put the salt on a bamboo basket and exposed it to the sun. The sunlight would reduce the weight of the salt again, but it would also make the salt drier and better preserved!
After the salt was dried for a long time, Liang Chuan picked up the bamboo slices and scraped all the salt into a small bamboo tube, made a wooden plug, and sealed the salt so that the salt would not get damp again!
Finally, after weighing it, there were nearly twelve taels of salt. Liang Chuan was quite satisfied with the purification efficiency!
Liang Chuan put the salt in his arms. Although it was getting late, he continued walking towards the market!
This time, for the first time, he felt the satisfaction of a time traveler!
The time traveler uses his or her knowledge to reduce the dimensionality and critically attack these people who have an IQ similar to that of primitive people! .
Shock them, make them pee!
Knowledge is power, and knowledge is money. Liang Chuan can't wait to see how much this fine salt is worth, and how much reward he can get for his knowledge!
Liang Chuan was lame and walked slowly. It was already dark when he arrived at the market, but the salt shop was not closed yet!
The salt boss recognized Liang Chuan. This boy followed Ah Yue, the chieftain, and had just bought a pound of low-quality coarse salt from Xixia. It was for the livestock to eat. The rest was of little use.
The boss is very nervous!
Because he was afraid that Liang Chuan was here to refund the money!
Even the poorest Guangnan people are not willing to eat that kind of coarse salt. It tastes like mud and has only a little salty taste, so it is very suitable for livestock to eat!
Everyone in Anong Tusi Mansion knows that Ah Yue was the only child who stayed alone most of the time. Later, there was an additional person, Liang Chuan, but this person seemed to be not very smart. .
I'm afraid Ah Yue is ignorant and buys coarse salt for cooking, which will cause trouble!
He originally didn't want to make money from Liang Chuan, because if the salt was sold, something would go wrong later. Liang Chuan's mind seemed a little abnormal at first glance! Sure enough, they came to the door again before it got dark!
Liang Chuan had that abnormal smile on his face again, looking a little crazy, thinking that something was wrong with his brain. .
"Isn't it closed yet?"
The boss is very nervous, it’s dark, he’s strong, and he usually puts on a bit of a bloody scene!
It is common for Miao people to fight if they disagree, not to mention that he is from the chieftain's house, who dares to provoke him!
"Brother, what do you have?
If you want it, why don’t you buy salt? "
Liang Chuan glanced at several types of salt. The boss's heart was in his throat, and his hand had already sneaked towards the knife hidden under the chopping board. He didn't dare to kill anyone, but he wanted to protect himself. .
If Liang Chuan makes trouble, he will ensure a preemptive strike!
However, he had no confidence that he could beat Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan smiled and waved his hand: "I have some salt here, the boss doesn't know whether to accept it or not!"
Collect salt? The salt seller thought he had heard wrong and now he wanted to sell salt?
The contrast was so great that the salt dealer’s boss’ brain circuit didn’t change for a while!
This guy comes to buy salt during the day and sells salt at night? What medicine is he selling in his gourd?
When Liang Chuan saw the boss's expression, he understood that he couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, and he didn't waste any time. He took out the bamboo tube in his arms and showed the salt he had purified to the shop owner!
Boss Yan saw Liang Chuan take out the bamboo tube, took it and looked at it, and was stunned at first sight!
This salt. . So pure!
The best green salt I bought from Xixia is not so white in color. The salt particles are very uniform, and it looks like good salt at first glance!
Good salt! Boss Yan couldn't help but praise, the weather was a bit bad, but these white lights still made him see it very clearly!
The salt boss looked left and right, raised his head and said to Liang Chuan, "Can I have a taste of this salt?"
There isn't much salt in Liangchuan, so it costs a lot of money to taste it. .
Liang Chuan raised his head and made a gesture of invitation!
The salt boss put his little finger into the bamboo tube, scraped a handful of salt with his fingertips, and then put it in his mouth!
This smell! Definitely the best salt he has ever tasted in the world!
Sure enough, there are still good things in the toast's house!
The store owner understands!
This black Miao ghost must have come to change the situation!
Buy your own coarse salt, then package up the salt from Tusi Mansion and secretly sell it to yourself!
This embryo is simply bad!
"How about it!"
Boss Yan seemed to have entered another world, and Liang Chuan interrupted his thoughts.
"Okay! Where did this salt come from?"
Liang Chuan's expression changed as soon as he asked this question. The salt boss immediately wanted to slap himself. This salt must have been stolen. Asking this question is almost equivalent to calling him a thief!
"I...I mean, do you really plan to sell this salt?"
Liang Chuan made a silent gesture and said, "Of course I have to sell it, otherwise why would I be here at this time!"
Liang Chuan's every word was full of thieves' spirit. The clerk waited until night, it's not like there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place!
"Just give me a real price, I need money urgently!"
The salt seller was very excited about the good salt, but ordinary people couldn’t afford this salt!
"It's a pity that it's only half a catty. It would be nice if it had a little more!"
Liang Chuan pretended to be anxious and said: "You think this kind of good stuff can be found all over the street, just in our Tusi Mansion..."
Liang Chuan stopped the second half of the sentence and looked like he was talking about it!
The salt boss understood this, looked around to see if there was no one, then looked at the salt, and gestured towards Liang Chuan with three fingers extended!
Thirty cents, damn it, do you think I'm a fat sheep that you can kill at will?
Liang Chuan grabbed the salt bamboo tube and walked back!
The purity of this salt is definitely better than any salt sold by this salt dealer. The last salt he sold was more than this price. Why do you think you are really easy to cheat?
The salt boss quickly grabbed Liang Chuan and said, "Three hundred cents is a lot. The best green salt here is only three hundred cents per catty. Yours is less than a catty, so it's only half a catty more!"
After all, it belongs to the Tusi Mansion, and it would be bad if he kills it too harshly. Only by giving this Miao man enough benefits can he stop his mouth, so Boss Yan directly offered a real price as soon as he opened his mouth!
Got 1,800 coins!
Liang Chuan's heels took root and froze in place, thinking that was enough!
The price is worthy of Liang Chuan’s knowledge, so I’m not offended!
Liang Chuan thought for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is the first time we have cooperated with each other for one hundred and eighty cents. If we have this price next time, I will definitely let you earn more!"
besides!
The salt dealer looked at Liang Chuan and thought, you are really brave, but he doesn't care! He only cares about money. As long as Liang Chuan can get the salt, he will be happy. He can sell the salt to others and the money he makes will definitely be more than what he pays!
"Okay, I can't tell you are quite smart!" Boss Yan said something to Liang Chuan, but he didn't know whether it was a good or bad word!
After saying that, the salt dealer handed the money to Liang Chuan, then took away the salt Liang Chuan gave him, treated it like a treasure, put it in a porcelain jar, and threw it away without even looking at the bamboo tube!
How would he know that the salt he bought in his shop for five cents during the day was resold to him at night for three hundred and twenty cents? If he knew that all his money was given to Liang Chuan, and he was in trouble, would he He will be so angry that he will die on the spot!
Of course, the salt boss will not die suddenly. If he gets salt of this quality from Yongzhou, he can sell it for at least 500 cents per catty, and he can make hundreds of cents by changing hands. There is no risk at all, so why would he? No! The most expensive green salt on the market now is more than 500 cents per pound. Based on his 100 cents, the salt brought by Liang Chuan is of high quality, so the price of 300 cents is not expensive. It is just Liang Chuan's quantity. Just a few missing!
As for how Liang Chuan obtained the salt, he didn't care. He just assumed that Liang Chuan bought his salt and went to the chieftain's house to secretly exchange it. It was not impossible.
It is even less likely that he would know that if his salt is boiled, it will become purer, just pour it from his left hand into his right hand!
It's a win-win!
It’s just that Liang Chuan won by lying down!
With nearly two hundred coins, Liang Chuan weighed the money in his hands and realized that this is the power of knowledge!
Liang Chuan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth!
I only regret that I am not a science student, otherwise if I try to become more famous, it will be a matter of time for me to stand out these days!
He passed by the meat stall and brought Ah Yue two large pieces of leg meat, a pair of ears, and a pair of large intestines! This little girl can eat enough meat until the sky is dark, but the money is not much, only thirty cents. .
In this era, salt is more expensive than meat. .
He also bought a new set of clothes for the little girl. Ah Yue wore black linen clothes every day. Liang Chuan was worried for her when he saw it.
I originally wanted to buy something else, but I had money and couldn’t spend it at this market, so I gave up the idea!
As soon as she got home, Ah Yue didn't want to talk to Liang Chuan, but when she saw the twenty cents Liang Chuan threw on the table with a clang, a new dress, and endless meat, Ah Yue was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground. !
Did he really do it?
