Chapter 12 Requests
Ye Huan nodded and turned his head to look at the brown horse: "If it doesn't eat salt, it won't have strength." ”
The boiled refined salt was carefully packed by Ye Huan, and some were fed to the brown horse.
Before being tied up to the Jieli camp, Su Yunlan was a person in the caravan and could be regarded as well-informed, and then she remembered that the stone before was not jade or anything like that, but a poisonous salt ore!
Su Yunlan realized something and covered her mouth in surprise.
"He actually knows how to extract salt from poison salt ore!" Su Yunlan picked up the refined salt again and looked at it carefully, she had never seen such pure and fine salt!
The best salt she'd ever eaten was coarse salt the size of her little thumb, and she often cracked her teeth and grunted her throat.
The more Su Yunlan thought about it, the more she thought about it, she was even sure that the salt eaten in the palace was not so fine!
"Hey! How do you give salt to the brown horse! When she saw that Ye Huan actually fed the horse with refined salt, it was a pity to be as much as she wanted, so she snatched it directly from him, and then handed Ye Huan a piece of salt ore.
"Poison can't kill it, you feed him this!" Su Yunlan looked at this pinch of salt, and her face showed a touch of distress, "What a pity!" ”
"Aren't there so many?"
"That's not okay either!"
"Do you know how precious this salt is?" Su Yunlan carefully held it in her arms.
Ye Huan was noncommittal, it wasn't a big deal anyway, since she liked it so much, she would give it to her to keep.
After a while, Su Yunlan looked at Ye Huan: "Ye Gongzi, you can boil salt, right?" ”
Ye Huan nodded.
"Can you teach me how to boil salt, then?" Su Yunlan asked cautiously.
Ye Huan's gaze was a little deep, he quietly looked at Su Yunlan, who looked like a little beggar, and didn't pay attention to it, but now he seemed to understand a lot.
He forgot that this was an ancient society with very low productivity, and the yield of salt was very low, but it was indispensable for everyone, and it should be very valuable.
And that's just one thing, most salt ores are poisonous, but what is more important is how you cook the salt!
In other words, this is a unique craft, and no one in the world knows about it except Ye Huan!
"Can't you?" Su Yunlan looked at Ye Huan with a little loss in her eyes.
"I, I can trade you for anything else you want, as long as I have!" She didn't give up, she wanted to impress Ye Huan, and gave up everything.
"Why do you want to learn how to boil salt?" For a long time, Ye Huan looked into her eyes and asked her, wanting to get her true answer.
Su Yunlan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Ye Huan, and knew that he was serious.
"I was born in a merchant family, the most important thing in this family is not blood, whether you are a concubine or a concubine, or a woman, you have to learn to do business!"
Su Yunlan lowered her eyelids: "The perception of the younger generation in the family is also carried out through the silver obtained from business. The more money earned for the family, the more love the family elders will give, and the greater the corresponding power, and vice versa. ”
"And what about those who earn less money for the family?" Ye Huan looked at her.
"They are sent out by their families to sell goods, and they are often remote and rugged, and the roads are far away."
"In this way, this is equivalent to a form of punishment for the family." Ye Huan thought secretly, and suddenly remembered that Su Yunlan seemed to have been arrested in the process of doing business, so she was the kind of person who the so-called elders had a bad perception?
Su Yunlan seemed to see through Ye Huan's thoughts: "That's right! I'm the latter group! ”
"Such a family is really cold-blooded!" Ye Huan couldn't help but blurt out.
"It's not like that!" Su Yunlan's voice was a little higher, "It's just because I'm cowardly and don't work hard enough!" ”
Everyone in the family, from 70-year-olds to children of several ages, understands this! This is the rule set by our ancestors! ”
Ye Huan shrugged his shoulders and didn't care.
"So you want to learn to boil salt just so that the elders can see you?"
Su Yunlan's expression was a little sad, and she breathed a long sigh of relief: "It may have been before, but now it's not just because of that!" ”
"And why?"
Su Yunlan raised her clear eyes and met Ye Huan's eyes: "I'm sorry, I can't continue." ”
Everyone has their own privacy, Ye Huan understood, he stood up: "Then I'll treat you as if it's for yourself!" I can teach you how to boil salt, but I think you should also know that the trade of salt has been controlled by the imperial court since ancient times, and it is not practical to want to boil salt and sell salt? ”
"Don't be charged with a felony of treason! If you make a mistake, you may be punished by the Nine Clans! ”
Su Yunlan took a deep breath, she didn't take these into consideration, but she still made up her mind in her heart.
"I have my own way!"
Since she felt that it didn't matter, Ye Huan couldn't say anything, boiling salt was just a small way for Ye Huan, but it was an incomparably precious craft for Su Yunlan.
"Who makes me so good-hearted?" Ye Huan thought helplessly, "Only I can do the thing of plucking a hair to benefit others!" ”
After that, Ye Huan found another piece of poisonous salt ore, explained it to Su Yunlan step by step, and showed her another demonstration in person.
In the process, Ye Huan was shocked by Su Yunlan again, this time because of her memory that can be called rebellious. Although she didn't understand it thoroughly at the first time, she actually relied on her super memory to memorize every word Ye Huan said!
Ye Huan couldn't help but smack her tongue, if she was put in modern times, she would be a scholar!
This memory!
After making sure that Su Yunlan remembered everything, Ye Huan and Su Yunlan both fell asleep, around the fire, on the vast snow.
……
Next.
The brown horse's strength had recovered, and Ye Huan and the two set off after breakfast.
The horse's hooves flew up and down quickly, and the snowfield behind them was gradually moving away, and the moment they left the snowfield, they had already stepped into the border of the Tang Dynasty.
In front of them was a vast forest, if Ye Huan remembered correctly, this was the Longyou Forest.
This forest is no longer visible, and other dynasties after the Tang Dynasty have completely disappeared from the map due to many reasons such as climate and man-made destruction.
Lucky enough to see this forest, Ye Huan felt a lot in his heart.
As they approached, the primeval aura came to their faces, and they only had to walk through the forest before they could find human civilization.
The closest city to Longyou Forest should be Lanzhou City!
The forest is so wooded that most of the people are so tall that it is too tall to go on a horseback. Ye Huan and Su Yunlan simply walked directly in the forest, and they met a lot of wild animals along the way, among which hares, roe deer, and elk were the majority.
"I don't know if there are any tigers."
As soon as Ye Huan thought like this, suddenly a tiger roar sounded in his ears!
The tiger roars, the sound shakes the four wilds, all beasts surrender, and no one dares to disobey!
The snow on the branches fell straight down, and Ye Huan's nerves instantly tensed, and he looked around nervously, lest he was worried that a tiger would suddenly pop out.
"Ahh
However, in the next moment, a terrible wail came from not far away, someone was attacked by a tiger!
