Liu Che is still a little resentful of the premature end of the topic.

But I don't dare to force it too much.

After all, this person in front of him is an immortal from Penglai Immortal Island, not his courtier.

If you don't make the immortals happy, you don't feel happy for yourself.

"In that case, then I'll make sake with my husband next time, thank you for answering my questions!"

Liu Che hugged his fist at Tang Qi, and then picked up the fish soup in the bowl and drank it.

As soon as he drank two sips, Liu Che couldn't help frowning and said, "This soup ...... How did it get a little bland? ”

When Tang Qi heard this, he took a sip of the fish soup in his bowl, only to feel that the taste was exactly the same as before, and there was no change.

This made Tang Qi slightly puzzled.

But soon, Tang Qi figured it out.

"It's not that the soup is bland, it's that you drank too much and your tongue is a little numb, that's why you think the soup is bland, you wait, I'll get you some salt, you add it to the bowl and try again."

After Tang Qi finished speaking, he walked out of the wooden house quickly, went to the stove to get a salt shaker, and put it in front of Liu Che.

"Na, add your own salt, don't add too much, otherwise you will destroy the original umami of the fish soup!"

Tang Qi admonished and sat down again.

Liu Che looked at the crystals as delicate as white sand in the salt shaker, and was a little stunned.

"This ...... Is this salt? ”

Liu Che's tone was very puzzled.

Salt is an important material related to people's livelihood, so Liu Che also has an understanding.

There are four kinds of salt in the Han Dynasty: well salt, pool salt, cliff salt and sea salt.

The manufacturing process is relatively rudimentary.

Sea salt, in particular, is basically the crystallization of salt lumps formed by exposing sea water to the sun.

The small ones are the size of a stone, and the big ones are the size of a fist.

Of the other three types of salt, the finest is also impurified, mixed with some brown particles.

And this most delicate salt takes a long time to make, and the cost is also very high, basically only the nobles and princes can use it.

Ordinary civilians can only use coarse lumps of salt.

But the jar of salt that Tang Qi brought was really too fine, and there were no impurities at all.

It is as fine as grit and snow-white throughout.

made Liu Che a little unbelievable that this was salt.

Tang Qi rolled his eyes and said lightly: "Is it salt, don't you know if you taste it yourself?" ”

Liu Che didn't say a word, and hurriedly dipped his finger in a little salt, put it to his mouth and licked it.

It's a bit salty.

It's really salt.

Liu Che looked at Tang Qi with wide eyes and said, "Mr. Tang, this ...... Where does this refined salt come from? ”

Tang Qi pouted, "Where else can you come from?" Of course I did it myself, there is nothing in this hellish place! ”

"Do it yourself?"

Liu Che's excited mouth began to tremble: "You are alone...... Can you make this kind of refined salt? Could it be that this refined salt is easy to make? ”

Tang Qi said speechlessly: "Of course, this is easy to make, expose the sea water to the sun, and then filter the crystals with charcoal and other things, and then you can make salt."

Don't talk about me, even a random junior high school student can make salt, I find you really strange, you don't even know the most basic common sense! ”

Liu Che was stunned, and then asked: "Mr. Tang, the junior high school students you are talking about should be the nicknames of those immortals on Penglai Immortal Island, right?" ”

Tang Qi almost sprayed rice.

Nima, when will junior high school students be able to become immortals?

This guy who plays Liu Che is really funny.

Trying to calm down his emotions, Tang Qi said: "Even if it is, it's really easy to make this kind of sea salt anyway, and it's a little difficult to make higher quality sea salt!" ”

"That's already it!"

After Liu Che finished speaking, he pushed the salt shaker in front of Wei Qing and continued: "Wei Qing, you come and taste this refined salt!" ”

Wei Qing was looking at the salt shaker just now, but it was not easy to snatch it from Liu Che's hand.

Now Liu Che took the initiative to push the salt shaker over, and Wei Qing immediately dipped it in some refined salt and tasted it.

Then Wei Qing's eyes widened.

This salt is not only in good condition, but also tastes a little less bitter than the salt eaten daily in the Han Dynasty.

This is definitely the best salt.

"Mr. Tang, this refined salt ...... True...... Did you really do it alone? ”

Wei Qing was a little skeptical.

He's actually seen the process of making salt, usually with several people working together.

Making salt alone, Wei Qing is really unimaginable.

Tang Qi replied a little impatiently: "I am the only one on this desert island, if you can find a second person to help me make salt, I will kneel down for you immediately!" ”

In ancient times, kneeling was a great gift.

When Tang Qi said this kind of thing, Wei Qing immediately believed most of it.

"Mr. Tang is really talented, he really admires Wei!"

Wei Qing bowed to Tang Qi with an extremely sincere attitude.

He was really impressed by Tang Qi's ability now.

Salt can be said to be a national strategic resource, and it is indispensable every day.

Without salt, the people and soldiers would have no strength and would suffer from all sorts of diseases.

The fall of the Qin Dynasty was actually related to the lack of salt among the people.

Because of the high cost of salt production, many people simply cannot afford to enjoy salt.

If you can't even eat well, the people will definitely rebel.

But now the Han Dynasty doesn't have to worry about this problem.

The refined salt that can be made by one person can definitely make the Han Dynasty no longer lack salt.

When the time comes, the soldiers of the army will not be without strength to fight.

The people will not get sick because of the lack of salt.

This is simply for the benefit of the country and the people.

Wei Qing couldn't wait to kneel in front of Tang Qi and begged Tang Qi to teach him the method of making salt.

But after thinking about it carefully, Wei Qing felt that he was thinking too much.

Immortals are not stupid, they must know how important the method of salt making is, and they certainly will not easily teach it to others.

You still have to have a good relationship with the immortals first, and then slowly plot.

And the first step to building a good relationship is to praise.

Tang Qi's praise for Wei Qing is still very useful.

He squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's just making salt, what kind of talent, I still have more talents, and you will find out slowly!" ”

Wei Qing nodded and said: "Mr. is a man among the immortals, he must have a lot of skills, Wei will definitely learn more from Mr. in the future." ”

Tang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can learn if you want, but my teaching level is average, and how much you can learn depends on your own understanding." ”

Wei Qing was immediately overjoyed.

I didn't expect to get the opportunity to learn so easily.

"Please rest assured, Mr., Wei will do his best to study!"

Wei Qing clasped his fists at Tang Qi and saluted again.

At this time, Liu Che spoke: "Mr. Tang, if you can teach Wei Qing the techniques of papermaking, rice planting and salt making, when you return to Chang'an, I will definitely make you a big official, and you can choose between the three princes and nine kings!" ”

Sangong and Jiuqing are the most respected official positions in the Han Dynasty, and they are also the high-level officials in the Han Dynasty.

It stands to reason that this kind of position is slowly boiled up by qualifications.

There are almost no officials like Tang Qi who have not done it for a day, and they can directly rank among the three princes and nine secretaries.
