According to incomplete statistics, in the Battle of Blackwood Cliff, the troops dispatched by both sides were as high as hundreds of thousands.

Among them, the human race dispatched a prince, six generals, 1,000 soldiers, 3,000 people, and 3,400,000 crab troops, and the two sides launched a tragic battle in Dengzhou Heimu Cliff, and finally the crab army was captured alive close to more than 300,000, and more than 100 human soldiers were injured.

According to the memories of the surviving soldiers after the battle, the battle should have been taken, but as the process went relatively smoothly, some people began to take it lightly, and finally the result was achieved, and the soldier held up his wounded finger and said that he should listen to the prince and not take it lightly no matter what enemy he faced! Pay enough attention!

——Excerpt from the revised and refined edition of "The Great Shopkeeper Jokes about the Yu Tang Empire".

Yu Zhiqian looked at the more than 100 wounded soldiers, sighed, and told him again and again, but as a result, this group of guys still didn't pay attention, and they were caught by crabs, but fortunately, they were all broken skin, fortunately they didn't go to catch skin shrimp, otherwise, maybe someone's toe could be smashed by that thing.

"Bandage it, go back to the city!"

When they set off, no one took anything with them, and when they went back, it could be said that they were fully loaded, with a large cart of crabs being placed on the cart, and a group of black things that I don't know what they were.

"Your Highness, what to do with these crabs?"

"Use a cauldron, put seawater under it to steam, wait until all these crabs turn red and you can eat, by the way, if someone has small red spots or vomiting or something, don't worry, seafood allergies, just don't eat it immediately!"

Seafood allergies are generally rare, especially in cities close to the sea, so Yu Zhiqian is not worried about large-scale problems.

"Whoa!"

In the camp, dozens of cauldrons were erected, and then seawater was poured into them, and large-scale steaming of crabs began.

"Can you really eat these ugly things? It won't be a deception from the officials, we used to see this thing in our village, and it was still walking sideways, no one dared to eat it, saying that it would be the same as this thing when walking! ”

"Really? I haven't seen it before, but this thing doesn't look like it can be eaten, and when it's cooked, let those lazy people eat a little first, anyway, they don't work every day, and they deserve to be poisoned! ”

"Well, I think so too, these people are not ashamed, if it were me, I would have no face to live, what to see, lazy and not let people say it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said, labor is the most glorious, look at you, shame or not!"

A woman saw a lazy man not far away, and immediately raised her voice and slammed back.

The lazy man looked at the woman and wanted to say something with his finger, but in the end he didn't dare to say it, so he could only forcibly endure it, find a place to continue lying down, anyway, he couldn't die of hunger, what kind of work did he do!

Soon, as the camps began to cook crabs, a fresh smell wafted through all the camps.

"It smells so good!"

"Is this the smell of crab?"

"It smells good!"

The crabs in the camp began to smell fragrant, Yu Zhiqian held the crab in his hand, and silently gnawed the crab on the city tower, can the crab steamed in the seawater be delicious? Steamed crab with clear water, spicy crab is king, but unfortunately there is no chili pepper......

Wednesday is the third in the family, is a carpenter, a native of Qixia Town, Dengzhou City, originally as a carpenter, life is not bad, but unfortunately the drought in Dengzhou in the past two years, two consecutive years of no harvest, this year is the same, Wednesday became a victim.

With the general flow, I came to Dengzhou, and I heard that the imperial court arranged relief food here, although I can't eat enough, but at least I can't starve to death, as long as I live, there is hope, isn't it?

At the beginning, the relief food in Dengzhou was only porridge and half a steamed bun every day, not to mention adults, children couldn't eat enough, many people were complaining, the court was ready to give up on them, and some people were ready to grit their teeth and be thieves, everyone just wanted to live!

Just when Wednesday was also preparing to find another way out, to take refuge in his fellow countryman who was a rogue in Liu Sandao, the prince came, what is the prince, Wednesday doesn't know, it is said that it seems to be the emperor's son, and the kind that eats with golden bowls and chopsticks.

I don't care about these things on Wednesday, I only care about whether I can survive after the prince comes.

After the prince came, every day from clear water porridge to white porridge, all porridge, but clear water porridge can be used as a mirror, white porridge has rice in it, in addition to two steamed buns, although still not full, but there is no big problem to survive, Wednesday is also ready to continue to stay here, peace of mind with relief food.

But soon someone told him that he couldn't just wait for the relief food to work, to make a thing called mahjong, how many sets of mahjong you can get, how many small wooden cards can be exchanged for food, those who can work hard, and work if you want to eat enough.

Although I don't know why I still have to work as a disaster victim, I decided to work on Wednesday in order to be full, and at first I could only have three or four wooden cards a day, which could be exchanged for a few steamed buns, two bowls of porridge and a side dish.

But as he got acquainted with it, he could get seven or eight wooden signs a day on Wednesday, and now he was not thinking about whether he could eat enough, but whether to change into new clothes, and then change some grain and farm tools......

"It smells so good!"

Wednesday changed eight signs today, rubbed his neck, returned to his temporary accommodation, just entered the camp, smelled a strange smell, curiously walked to the place where the meal was changed, only to see a scholar, sitting at the table, keeping accounts, and shouting loudly at the same time.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is merciful, I'm afraid that you haven't eaten meat for so long, so I caught crabs for you to eat, everyone got one, don't want a brand, this crab shell can't be eaten, knock the shell open, there is meat in it, and there are people who eat crabs and feel that they can't breathe well, and those with red spots and vomiting don't eat it!"

"This Liu Xiucai, what is this crab?"

"Oh, that's it, look at it, you can eat it here, you can't eat it here......"

"Thank you Liu Xiucai, I'll change four steamed buns and have a porridge! Oh yes, I have two kids at home, can I get crabs? ”

"No, it's per head!"

"Good!"

On Wednesday, he took the crab back to his residence, and the two children were left by his two elder brothers, and as for his eldest brother, he was already ......

"Come, eat steamed buns, and wrinkles, and crabs today, you can taste them......"

"Uncle, you eat too!"

The older boy handed a piece of crab meat to Wednesday, and Wednesday tasted it, it was so fragrant, His Royal Highness the Prince, it was really merciful!

"When we are full, go and kowtow to His Royal Highness the Prince, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince, we would have starved to death!"

"Good!"

…… In the camp, as on Wednesday, there were countless people, a natural disaster made them have to become disaster victims, but now they feel that life is full of hope, as long as they can work hard, there is a brand to earn, there is a brand can be exchanged for food and drink, and there are clothes, etc., as long as they work hard, they can even change a donkey, God, even if it is not a disaster year, they dare not expect to have a donkey at home, now as long as they work hard, they can ......

"Your Highness, salt, salt, salt!"

Zhang Zhan rushed up from under the city tower in a panic, shouting at Yu Zhiqian like a madman.

"Salt? What salt? ”

"Your Highness, in the pot, salt is boiling in the pot!"

"Huh? Is the salt boiled out? Go and take a look" Yu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, sea water can dry salt Yu Zhiqian roughly knows, but he doesn't know that salt can be boiled, Yu Zhiqian's hometown in his previous life has a salt farm, and there is a place called Banpu Ancient Town, which is the ancient place of salt, but Yu Zhiqian doesn't know the specific operation method.

Soon Yu Zhiqian followed Zhang Zhan to a large cauldron, only to see that the pot was still emitting heat, there was no water in it, but there were pieces of white crystalline things underneath, which should be salt.

"Your Highness, it's salt, I tasted it just now, it's salty, it's salt!"

"Nonsense, the sea is still salty!"

Yu Zhiqian gently picked up a large piece and looked at it, it was a little cloudy, ancient salt did not have modern technology, even fine salt was very rough.

Licking it with his tongue is indeed very salty, Yu Zhiqian thought about it carefully, the way to boil salt, thought about it for a long time, and really found a little bit of something for him.

"Well, don't boil it so directly, half of the water is gone, just continue to add seawater to it, and try it while steaming the crabs!"

"Whoa!"

Yu Zhiqian stared at the side, according to Yu Zhiqian's method for an hour After the water was finally boiled dry, the salt cubes were indeed slightly cleaner, but Yu Zhiqian looked at the burned firewood and the burned salt, the cost was too high.

"I remember that in the first few chapters of Tang Brick, there was a way to make salt, and how to do it!"

Yu Zhiqian patted his head, he really hated less when the book was used, why didn't he study hard in the first place?

"Your Highness, this is salt, a happy event, if this sea water can be turned into salt, I will never be short of salt again!"

“…… Look at how much wood was burned to make this bit of salt? Don't report it yet, there should be a better way, I'm thinking about it, but this method will be written down, and let's do some according to the way first, and see if there are any side effects! ”

"Whoa!"

Yu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Zhan's disappearing back, and didn't understand why he was so excited, but it seemed that there was really a shortage of salt in ancient times, as if salt and iron were as important.

Looking up at the sky, my mind kept recalling the salt works I went to when I was a child, as if the salt production was higher.

"Oh my God, why do others have systems, or travel through libraries, warehouses or something, and they don't have anything here, not even a smart head, it's too unfair!"

"Boom!"
