How salt is made is not actually the focus of everyone's concern, what they really want to know is the output, although the salt pond of the Tang Dynasty is theoretically controlled by the government, but in reality the situation is that a certain family really dominates the production of salt.

In such a situation, if the so-called sea salt does not have a certain yield, they will not risk offending the family to purchase sea salt.

And the reason why Xiao Wu told the merchants who came here about the salt production area is also very simple, that is, you can go and see it, and then make a decision when you understand it.

After a group of half-grown old men understood Xiao Wu's intentions, they all relaxed, and their attention was also focused on the table salt placed in front of them.

At this moment, Xiao Wu suddenly snapped his fingers again, pointed to another piece of salt that had entered the living room again, and placed it in front of a group of people again, and said, "Why don't you try this." ”

"What is this?" An old man of a half age asked suspiciously, picking up a handful of powder that resembled salt, but did not want to be the same as salt.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin named this thing monosodium glutamate, which is also a condiment, you can ......" Halfway through the words, someone had already put the monosodium glutamate that Xiao Wu said in his mouth into his mouth.

Then I heard this person exclaim: "Good, so fresh!" ”

What's so fresh? Could it be the so-called MSG? The rest of the people who were studying what MSG was were at the same time curious put MSG in their mouths.

There is no monosodium glutamate in Datang, so when everyone tried the deliciousness of the extremely ordinary monosodium glutamate in later generations, it immediately caused a great response, and they quickly realized that monosodium glutamate would cause a sensation in Datang.

Thinking of this, the half-old men were not calm.

Compared to salt, if they don't buy it here in Xiaowu, they won't have to worry about having no place to buy it.

But this MSG is a little different, before Xiao Wu took out this thing, but no one has heard of this thing, which means that this thing is unique to Xiao Wu.

Wouldn't that be the same as breaking off?

The half-grown old men who realized this all looked at Xiao Wu nervously, waiting for her next speech.

However, to their great surprise, Xiao Wu did not continue to talk about MSG, but instead beckoned people to set up a banquet in the living room.

"Everyone, please take a seat!" After all the food and drinks were arranged, Xiao Wu got up and made a gesture of please.

Everyone who was puzzled actually already had a guess in their hearts, but Xiao Wu didn't say anything, so they naturally couldn't speak, so they could only follow her wishes and sit at the table.

"I'm sure you've already guessed what the purpose of this feast is. I can tell you for sure that you are right, this is just a tasting, please try the food cooked with MSG. Xiao Wu had a table of wine and food prepared for her in front of her, and she made a gesture of invitation to everyone as she spoke.

In the end, she is the county lord of the Tang Dynasty, and those guys she invited are some businessmen, if they eat at the same table, they lose their identity, and Xiao Wu is a woman, in order to avoid suspicion, it is impossible for her to sit with those stinky old men.

A group of half-grown old men also understood this, and they didn't have any picky ideas, and after waiting for Xiao Wu to pick up the first bite of the dish, they also started one after another, and each of them put a dish in their mouths.

Xing Ye acted in a movie called "God of Food", in which the gourmand once burst into tears over a bite of very ordinary egg fried rice.

Although the salt merchants who were invited by Xiao Wu did not burst into tears because of a bite of the dish, the taste still shocked them.

The kind of umami that is different from the flavor that is concocted directly stimulates their taste buds with the most violent means, so that a group of half-grown old men are almost reluctant to swallow the food in their mouths.

"How?" After Xiao Wu simply took a bite, he put down his chopsticks and looked at a group of 'old decay' aftertastes there, feeling a little funny in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness, oh no, Miss Wu, can Miss Wu grant us the right to operate this MSG?" Because they were so excited, the half-old men almost forgot Xiao Wu's warning to tell them not to be commensurate with the county lord, and only remembered when they found her eyes narrow.

But it doesn't matter anymore, after tasting the food made from MSG, no one doubts that it will sell.

"Since I took out the MSG for you to taste, it will naturally be sold, but compared to salt, this thing is ten times more expensive, can you really think about whether you really want to deal with this thing?"

"No problem, even if it's a hundred times more expensive, it's no problem!" The 'old decay' replied in unison.

These old salt merchants are more cunning than foxes, and after eating the first bite of food, they know that MSG is by no means for ordinary people.

After all, what the people of Datang are pursuing at the moment is to be full, and most of the people who have not yet reached the food and clothing line will not care about the taste.

Therefore, if MSG wants to be sold in the future, in addition to those big households, there are some restaurants.

And big households and restaurants will care about the price of a little condiment? Obviously, they don't care.

What they care about is face and taste, as long as they can eat comfortably, even the most expensive things can be sold.

But Xiao Wu disappointed them this time, and under the enthusiastic gaze of a group of 'old decrepit', the little girl said slowly: "Since you have no problem with the price, then this girl will talk about another condition." ”

"Miss Wu, please speak!" Someone said urgently.

"This MSG, this girl wants to sell it together with salt, that is to say, how much sea salt you buy from Dengzhou, this girl will sell you as much MSG as you want."

"...... "The 'old decay' all stopped talking, they never expected that Xiao Wu would associate salt and monosodium glutamate together, and they suddenly couldn't react after hearing it.

But fortunately, Xiao Wu didn't have any excessive requirements for them, and after a pause, he continued: "You can go back and think about it, and we will continue to talk when you think of it." ”

Can you still think about it? If that's the case, it doesn't seem like there's much to worry about.

With the intention of going to Dengzhou first and then making a decision, the 'old decay' left the Yingguo Mansion one after another.

And after they left, Lin Doudou asked with some confusion: "County Lord, why did you let them go so easily?" What if they go outside and talk nonsense? ”

"Nonsense? No, it won't. Xiao Wu shook his head, and said after a while: "Sister Doudou, the profit-seeking of businessmen cannot be changed at any time, if they want to make a lot of money, they will definitely keep it a secret." What's more, we are not real merchants, we are really not weaker than those families compared to power, how can they be stupid enough to send their necks under our steel knives. ”
