It was only half a day's work, and everything was ready.

Even the pots and spatulas are ready.

At this time, Si Shan, the official in charge of the Shangshi Bureau, walked over in small steps, and he pointed to the pot.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this doesn't seem to be Ding, how can you steam and cook dishes?"

Wu Zetian also asked: "Yes, this thing doesn't seem to be able to cook." ”

In the Tang Dynasty, the cooking utensils were mainly tripods, and sometimes they would grill on the grill, but it seemed that the use of pots was the first time I had seen it, so the chef would ask this.

Li Chengqian said: "Don't worry about this, after this king makes it in a while, it will definitely surprise you!" As long as the food is delicious, what kind of utensils does it matter? ”

The crowd was a little puzzled by this.

But he didn't dare to ask, Si Shan's eyes were a little puzzled at the same time, and he was a little reluctant to believe it, he didn't believe that Li Chengqian could cook. And it's a strange pot to cook.

Wu Zetian asked: "Then what is this?" ”

She asked what everyone wanted to ask.

Li Chengqian was not angry with her

Instead, he said patiently: "This is a pot, and the dishes made taste even more delicious!" ”

"...... like this"

She responded as if she didn't understand.

"Okay, are all the spices ready?"

Li Chengqian asked.

Si Shan hurriedly said, "It's ready." ”

He said, pointing to some spices on the stove.

All the Tang Dynasty can produce here, as well as all the spices that the Western Regions have. And the best thing we can come up with.

Of course, salt is also indispensable.

"What is this?"

Li Chengqian pointed to a bowl full of impurities and said.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is salt!"

The chef said a little smugly.

He thought that Li Chengqian didn't know Yanba.

"This is salt? I think it's a small rock, right? The quality of this salt is so poor, you still dare to take it out? Dare you say it's the best thing? Are you teasing the king? ”

Li Chengqian is really hot.

How could the chef come out with something bad?

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is already the best salt, it is the refined salt produced by the Wang family! It was shipped from Shandong, how could it be a bad salt? The small ones don't dare to take the worst ones out! ”

Si Shan said.

His heart was full of puzzlement, it was obviously a good thing, but it was said by Li Chengqian to be rubbish.

No matter who it is, it's always uncomfortable.

Li Chengqian directly picked up a piece of salt and tasted it.

Spit it out in one gulp.

"It's bitter, astringent and not delicious, how did this Wang family do it, how could they sell this kind of salt? It's really bold! ”

The chef is puzzled, isn't the salt like this?

At that time, the ability to purify salt was limited, and this was probably the best salt that people could make.

At the same time, from Si Shan's mouth, he also knew a thing.

That is, the current Yanba is not completely an official camp, and the Wang family is actually involved.

Ancient salt was a very important link.

Salt is a necessity of life, people can't do without salt for a day, salt is a resource, not like grain, oil, vegetables, meat, etc., as long as you go to work can be obtained, so salt in ancient times is still a strategic material. Everyone has seen the shining red star, and the guerrillas' in-demand supplies also have table salt. In ancient times, salt was sold exclusively by the state, and selling smuggled salt was a crime of death, and it was precisely because salt was so important that the state could easily earn taxes from salt merchants. Nowadays, taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and tea are also relatively high, but they cannot be compared with salt in ancient times.

Although salt is small but has a big role, it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, if private control of salt trading is allowed to occur, it is easy to cause adverse effects, which is not conducive to social stability, and it is easier for official control to stabilize salt prices, stabilize the market, and stabilize society! Salt is indispensable in life, everyone needs it, and not eating salt for a long time will cause many lesions, so the tax base for salt taxation is particularly large, so the salt tax revenue is huge, and it is an extremely important part of the national fiscal revenue!

And now, it is controlled by the Wang family, which is not a good thing.

This is a problem for thousands of years, and at the same time, Li Chengqian has a plan in his heart, and next, there will be a big business waiting for him to do, that is, to purify the salt and refine the salt! In this way, you will definitely make a lot of money, and as for how to purify, it will be much simpler.

Li Chengqian was furious.

Jean Sishan was startled and quickly knelt on the ground.

"This is truly the best salt we can come up with!"

He didn't understand this.

Li Chengqian said: "This king didn't mean to blame you, what are you kneeling down for?" Hurry up, what a word! ”

Si Shan got up at this time, and his back was full of sweat at this time.

Li Chengqian's attitude just now made him afraid, but fortunately Li Chengqian did not blame him. Otherwise he's finished.

He finally got into the good position of Si Shan, and if he lost his official position because of this, he would lose a lot of money.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the little girl has also cooked, and this salt is indeed like this."

Wu Zetian also said the same.

Apparently they hadn't seen fine salt before.

"It's not good for people to eat too much of this kind of salt, as far as this king knows, there are even better existences."

But Si Shan uses this kind of salt every day, and Li Shimin eats this kind of salt.

He was in charge of the food and drink in the whole palace, and everything that everyone ate came from him.

was questioned, and it was inevitable that he would be unhappy, but what could he do if the other party was the prince?

Therefore, Si Shan was very smart and did not speak, and waited until Li Chengqian finally admitted his mistake, which was the royal way.

Only such people can survive.

In the eyes of others, he is also full of incomprehension, and at the same time he is unwilling to believe what Li Chengqian said, after all, he is less than ten years old, what does a child who is less than ten years old understand?

But how did they know that Li Chengqian's current knowledge reserve was a hundred times that of theirs, or even more.

Everything he could receive was modern, invented, strange and durable.

This is Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the future traverser, and a powerful existence.

"And what is refined salt?"

Wu Zetian asked.

So Li Chengqian had an idea.

"Since you don't know that there is a finer kind of salt, then the king will show you once and let you see what refined salt is!"

And he doesn't allow some bad things to appear in his cooking.

Yes!

Everyone present was shocked.

So what is Li Chengqian going to do?

Nobody knows.

Even the smart Wu Zetian doesn't know it.

"Then what is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to do?"

Wu Zetian then asked.

Li Chengqian smiled.

"Well, you'll know in a moment, this king will make salt, and it will definitely surprise you!"

Li Chengqian said.

Where do you dare to say no.

If nothing else, just because he is the crown prince.
