Everyone should have been a little happy on the way back to the village because they were able to take away the fishing salt smoothly and bought so much in a fit of anger.
The village is taking the lead to receive it.
Not to mention that the meaning would be different only if Liu Lizheng went, which meant that Lizheng had given them permission to continue fishing.
It is only said that they only found out when they were chatting with the officer of the salt storehouse of Hebo Station that it would be so smooth only if Li Zheng took the lead in going to Hebo Station to collect the fishing salt.
It turns out that there is no "official" guarantor like Li Zheng to report the number of kilograms caught, and the corresponding fishing salt can only be purchased according to the number of kilograms, which would be quite troublesome.
At least without Li Zheng's guarantee, the Hebo Station will definitely send people to the village. First, they will check the fish from house to house, and then they will weigh it. After the measurement, each household will have to write two guarantee letters and have their fingerprints printed.
One is a promise that their own fish salt will not be used for other purposes, not even for curing meat.
The other must be signed and stamped. Neighbors who know that another family is using fish salt for other purposes but do not report it to the government will be punished.
And once it is discovered that one dares to use it elsewhere, even if it is fishing salt that cannot be used for cooking rice or pickling pickles, anyone who exceeds one stone will die, and one bucket will be more than the back of a stick.
It is conceivable that regardless of the above steps, if Hebo is deliberately trying to be difficult for others, it will become very troublesome.
Even if they are not difficult to deal with, people like Wang Yusheng know it well. They even put on the scales and belts to check, and went to each house and neighbor to sign the guarantee letter. At least the officials sent by Hebo would stay in their village for a few days. The stay involves food and accommodation, can we make arrangements? If arranged, the food should not be too bad, and the whole village must chip in for everything.
But things are different in the village.
There are two ways in the village, just issuing documents and picking it up in person.
Only documents were issued. Representative Li Zheng only promised the official that there are indeed people fishing in our village. Specifically, how many kilograms the fishermen caught, and how much fish salt the fishermen used, then you can send people to check it yourself. That has nothing to do with him. Guarantees are only given if there are people in the village fishing. If any problems arise in the future, Li Zheng will only be jointly responsible for whether someone is actually fishing.
In the second method, there is no need to send anyone to the river station.
According to the law of the imperial court, in order to facilitate people's lives and take into account the inconvenience of travel, if the villagers go to collect it in person and sign their fingerprints on the "forwarding official salt ticket", it is equivalent to Zheng's commitment to all.
For example, if there is someone in the village who has not concealed his catch, or whose fish weight is wrong, or even dares to use the fishing salt elsewhere, both Li and Zheng are to blame.
No matter how many times the person involved was beaten, Li Zheng would be beaten many more times. If the person involved was executed, Li Zheng would also die.
It can be seen that Li Zheng went there in person to vouch for a village and to the official, saving a lot of trouble.
So they should have been happy, but when they thought about the scene of brother Li Zheng being beaten thirty times, they tightened their buttocks and felt very uncomfortable.
None of the young men who came to receive the salt were fools. On the contrary, they were the more intelligent ones in the village. After a little thought, they could understand how there could be such a coincidence.
For this small amount of fish, they actually had to pay such a high price.
No wonder I would try my best to stop him in the past. This is really a big deal.
Put yourself in another person's shoes, if you are upright, if you allow the villagers to fish, your family will suffer first, so what will they choose?
At this time, three bullock carts, one behind the other, were slowly walking towards the village on the dirt road.
Wang Yusheng looked at the back of Che Liu Laozhu in front of him and felt extremely depressed.
Li Zhengbo, who was very fearless just now at the riverside at the entrance of the market, was now hunched over.
That back view looks so pitiful.
Wang Yusheng suddenly smashed the car floor with his fist. He was so angry that he really wanted to find someone who understood and asked: What is wrong with this world? Has our village done something outrageous? Why is it just one step at a time?
So on the way back, the only person who was emotionally stable was Xu Tianxin.
Mainly she was busy, researching what fish salt was, and it was pink.
Pink salt, she has only seen imported Himalayan rock salt in modern times. Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be used in salt baths.
Then what did they use to dye them in ancient times?
Xu Tianxin sat behind Liu Laozhu to block the wind.
Liu Laozhu was sad in front, while she opened the salt bag in the back and looked through it carefully.
The more Xu Tianxin looked at it, the more he felt that what his grandma said was wrong. It was not at all like the rumors that she dyed it with something to distinguish between fishing salt and edible salt.
Because iodine reacts chemically when it encounters starch and turns into this color.
But this is completely illogical. Ordinary people cannot afford starchy food. If it is sold so cheaply, it can be said to be poverty alleviation salt. Will they go to the trouble of adding starch? impossible.
As for the rumors that it was dyed with some kind of grass juice or vegetables, Xu Tianxin gave it a try and took a closer look and concluded that it was not the case.
It's an intuition, or as I said, if it's so cheap, the court will use a lot of manpower to press and dye the juice? Of course, she would have to test it again before she could be sure.
Xu Tianxin then pulled out the red sand mixed with fish salt and felt that this was even more impossible.
The red sand is definitely a deception. It just makes the fishing salt less and makes everyone think that it is dyed by the red sand. It also has a disgusting effect.
The poor people have to pickle some fish and put some mud on it. If they can't wash it off, they will eat a mouthful of dirt.
But she's not afraid of the red sand in it. She can't be disgusted by it. She can filter it out.
Xu Tianxin thought about it and finally felt that he should start with the aspect of eating dead people. What kind of salt is that?
The blame is that she has good conditions in a modern family, so her thinking is limited. She always feels that no matter how cheap salt is, it must at least be boiled into salt before it can be sold.
An older brother in the live broadcast room looked at the fish salt carefully and said: It’s not just taken out of the sea and sold, right? In that case, it can indeed eat people to death.
Xu Tianxin was stunned, what does it mean to fish everything out of the sea?
For example, when modern people go to the sea to play, they feel very clean in the sea. However, when they go ashore and bask in the sun, they will find a layer of fine sand floating on their skin.
Scrape off that layer of fine sand from your body, which is the fishing salt they have here.
Co-authored in ancient times, not even a single step was filtered.
Xu Tianxin: "...!!!"
After being reminded by this elder brother, the family members who had suffered chemical abuse in the live broadcast room and Xu Tianxin understood that the fish salt was not dyed at all. Because it is not pure sodium chloride crystal, there are impurities. No, red salt appears because there are too many impurities. For example, potassium chloride is designated, and the red color mainly comes from iron oxide or iron hydroxide impurities. It contains ferrous ions under the action of oxygen in the air to form ferric ions, and its color is reddish.
It's so disgusting, she must filter the salt before marinating the fish when she goes back. Otherwise, even after marinating, the impurity-rich layer of salt on the fish cannot be washed away, and eating too much of it will kill you.
Um? Wait, this doesn't seem to be the most important thing.
The important thing is... the family members in the live broadcast room have already started to remind and are shouting: "Go back quickly, let's go together to do the important thing of killing the nine tribes, making salt."
Use three pennies of fishing salt to make a hundred pennies of fine salt. It's perfect. If someone finds out, they will lose their heads.
