Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Trick Must Be Done

Wu Zheng walked around the private room three times, Huang Ji and Qin Ting's eyes followed him three times, and finally Wu Zheng seemed to finally have an idea, patted his head and said, "Or ......."

"Or what?" Huang Ji and Qin Ting said in unison.

Wu Zheng smiled slightly: "How about selling it to the two of you at the same time?" ”

"You...... Your kid's appetite is too big, aren't you afraid to kill yourself? Huang Ji said angrily.

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "It's not that the kid has a big appetite, but no matter who sells it to you, he will offend another person!" You are all the big Buddha of the temple, and you will collapse the kid if you don't let out a fart like the ghostly monster like the kid. Put you in my place, what do you think I should do at this time? ”

Qin Xiang, who was originally with a broken face, burst out laughing when he heard this, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he immediately made a serious appearance, and tasted wine there in a fake seriousness.

Wu Zheng really couldn't look at it, because the guy was holding an empty cup in his hand now, so he casually poured him a glass with the wine jug he had on his hand.

Qin Xiang looked at the wine poured into the cup, and his face was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but stand up and said, "That place is too stuffy, I'll go out to breathe." ”

Qin Xiang left, and Huang Ji and Qin Ting's eyes were once again fixed on Wu Zheng's body.

"Why do you keep looking at me like this? Didn't I just say everything I should have said? It's up to you how you choose! ”

Huang Ji sighed and said: "The old man will report the matter of offering salt, and as for whether your kid can be knighted, the old man can't guarantee it." ”

Then Qin Ting said: "Since you want to sell the art of making salt to the two of you, then I won't be able to earn the money in Yuzhou in the future, so Deputy Lieutenant Zhenwei, you kid don't think about it, Deputy Lieutenant Yilu can consider it." ”

"Okay, it's a word." Wu Zheng hurriedly poured a glass of wine for the two.

The two glanced at the wine glass, but no one had the heart to pick it up and drink, although it was easy to talk about things at the wine table, but it also depended on who to talk to.

In terms of qualifications, Wu Zheng is a junior in front of them, and in terms of identity, Wu Zheng is just a white man now, just these two old men and Wu Zheng clink glasses to celebrate, to be honest, they really can't afford to lose this face.

Wu Zheng, who picked up the wine glass, had no choice but to smile awkwardly, and then drank the wine in the wine glass.

"Boy, don't you want to tell me about your salt-making secrets?" Huang Ji said impatiently.

Wu Zheng said: "This is easy to do, find a stove boy to do it for you on the spot, you just need to watch it on the side to ensure that the Baojiao Baohui will be done." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go to the back kitchen of Linjiang Building." After Qin Ting finished speaking, he walked out first.

When Wu Zheng and Seinfeld came to the back kitchen, all the people in Ruoda's backyard had been bombarded clean by these two old people, Wu Zheng knew that they wanted to keep it secret, but no one gave him a hand, wouldn't the work of grinding the stone nest fall on his head.

"The kid makes salt, in fact, he can't conjure salt out of thin air, but turns the inedible brine salt in the stone nest into refined salt, I hope the two of you don't misunderstand." Wu Zheng said.

Huang Ji said: "The old man knows, you kid do it quickly!" ”

Wu Zheng spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that there is no stone nest here!" ”

Qin Ting said: "Who said no, isn't the whetstone ready-made?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled slightly: "Then the two of them will take it, and I will teach the two of them what to do next." ”

"You kid want us to do it ourselves?" Huang Ji said angrily.

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, a good trick has to be mastered, how can you learn it if you don't do it yourself?" Since I have accepted the conditions of the two of them, then I am naturally obligated to give them to the two churches, of course, if you don't want to learn, or you just want to learn half a bucket of water, that's okay. ”

"You ......"

Huang Ji was about to go crazy, but he saw that Qin Ting had already run over to move the stone nest, so he didn't have the heart to reason with Wu Zheng and ran over and hugged him.

Wu Zheng glanced at the stone nest in the hands of the two of them, Qin Ting's military background was fine, and Huang Ji, the old man, was a little embarrassed when he was sweating profusely.

But what does it matter to you! I am now a gentleman, and these two old guys are now students, so how can there be a reason for a gentleman to help students do it.

Wu Zheng nodded and said: "Very good, the first step is to find the stone nest, it seems that you have learned, then the next thing is to find a hammer to smash the stone nest in your hand." ”

Qin Ting threw down the stone nest and went to find the hammer, Huang Ji was a little unwilling but only glared at Wu Zheng, and also threw the stone nest and ran to find the hammer.

As a result, the hammer was not found, and the two of them came back with an axe from the firewood room.

Qin Ting showed his axe and said, "There is no hammer, the axe is feasible?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can smash the stone nest to pieces." ”

After speaking, he saw Qin Ting pick up the stone nest and put it on the grinding plate and start smashing, Huang Ji's physical strength was a little worse, but his mentality of not being willing to lag behind was very good, so he put the twenty catties of stone nest on the grinding plate with two trembling strands, and then began to jump up and smash.

Seeing Huang Ji's hard work, Seinfeld on the side whispered to Wu Zheng: "Xianggong, is it appropriate for you to play tricks on an old man like this?" ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Who told these two guys to look down on me just now, besides, it doesn't hurt for them to stretch their muscles and bones a little." ”

As soon as he finished whispering, Qin Xiang's voice came from behind him: "Okay! Brother Wu, you really did it on purpose. ”

Wu Zheng turned his face and said, "That's right! I just did it on purpose, if I didn't mean it, how could they be impressed, and how could they remember if they weren't profound? You must know that eating too much brine salt will kill people, in case they make a mistake in that step, and then eat people to death, are you responsible? ”

"I ......"

Wu Zheng said angrily: "What am I, if you really don't want to go, go and help those two old men smash!" What's the matter with me muttering? ”

"Okay! You're amazing, I can't talk about you. ”

After speaking, Qin Xiang ran to pick up the errand of the two old guys, and the two axes went into battle, crackling and smashing like chopping meat, Wu Zheng walked over and looked at this guy, and he did have two handfuls of strength, and the two stone nests of more than 20 catties were basically powdered when he carried a few axes.

Qin Xiang threw away the axe and said, "Wu Zheng, do you think this is okay?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "Anyway, this is just a demonstration, you can say it's okay!" ”

"So what's next?"

Wu Zheng said: "The next thing is naturally to put these test powders in a bucket and melt them with water, and at this time you can go find some linen and charcoal." ”

The next step is to strain the larger stone seeds with a sackcloth, then strain them again with charcoal when the brine is clear, and then boil the salt in a pot.

Wait until a pot of brine is dry, and this refined salt also appears on the edge of the pot.

Huang Ji and Qin Ting dipped their fingers a little, put them in their mouths and tasted them, then nodded and said, "Although the taste is not as good as refined salt, at least it can be eaten." ”

Huang Ji nodded and said, "Forty catties of stone nests can take out ten catties of coarse salt, this method is feasible!" ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "If you want a pure taste, it's best to grind charcoal into powder, cover the water outlet under the barrel with a linen cloth, and then pour the charcoal powder into it, the more charcoal powder you put in, the more positive the taste." As for the forty catties of stone nests, only ten catties of salt were boiled, it was because the stone nests just now were not smashed fine enough, in fact, generally forty catties of stone nests can be boiled out of twenty-three catties of salt.

Alright, my mission is accomplished, and as for my reward......"

Qin Xiang hurriedly answered: "Brother Qin, rest assured, by tomorrow morning at the latest, Wu Zheng's farewell will definitely be sent to the mansion." ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "Brother Qin, do you know where my family lives?" ”

"This ......" Qin Xiang really didn't know.

Wu Zheng pointed at Huang Ji and said with a smile: "It's okay to ask your uncle, I think he knows the same." ”
