Chapter 997: The Birth of a History
When Chu Huan said that the bowl was salt, Sun Zikong couldn't believe it at all, he had gone through the production process, and it was clear that the things in the bowl were boiled out of stones, how could stones become salt.
If salt can be refined from the stone, why don't the people of the Northwest make their own salt, all dynasties, the Northwest is a place where salt is in short supply, if it is so easy to extract salt from the stone, then the history of the world will change from then on, Sun Zikong can hardly believe that he will be the experience of this historical moment.
He felt that his head was a little dazed, he didn't believe that he could extract salt from the stone, but Chu Huan's expression looked very serious, and the most important thing was that after he put the cyan crystal in his mouth just now, it was indeed a salty taste, and now that he tasted it, the salty taste was not only extremely obvious, but also very pure, the salt taken from the kitchen not only had the salty taste of salt, but it was also mixed with other strange tastes, but this kind of salt made by Chu Huan, Sun Zikong did not feel any other strange taste, Simply salty.
Several chefs also looked at each other at this time, they didn't know the process of making this salt, and they didn't have the shock that their grandson felt hollowly, they were just surprised by the purity of this salt now.
Spit out the salt that has not yet melted out of the mouth and put it in the palm of the hand, the cooks deal with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar every day, and are very familiar with this kind of thing.
Of course, the chef knows that the stronger the taste, the stronger the salty taste, which means that the salt quality is good.
Holding the salt in his hand, several cooks also saw at this time, this light and heavy whitish crystal looked very clean, one cook held it in the palm of his hand, clenched it hard, opened his hand, the piece of salt had been broken, his eyes widened, and finally exclaimed: "My lord, this ...... Is this real refined salt? The villain had seen refined salt from the southeast before, but ...... It doesn't seem to be the same as this salt......! Holding the pure refined salt in his hand, the cook felt his breath begin to heavily.
"How is it better than you've seen before?" Chu Huan actually has no bottom in his heart, he knows that the southeast produces a large number of sea salt, sea salt is the main source of salt, before he made rock salt, the best refined salt in the world is of course from sea salt, today's rock salt is the salt he spent his effort to make, and it is also the most effective refining test method he knows, and he really doesn't know that the rock salt he refines is stronger or weaker than the general sea salt.
When Chu Huan found the cold stone in the Yanping Mountain Cave, he knew the role of the cold stone, the cold stone had a very popular name in the later generations, also known as halosalt, which belongs to a chemical mineral, this kind of cold stone, mixed with a very heavy proportion of sodium chloride, and sodium chloride is a chemical name that belongs to later generations, commonly known as table salt, of course, the cold stone that has not been refined, in addition to sodium chloride, there are many other chemical components in it, there are too many inclusions in it, no refining, naturally can not be eaten, otherwise there will be a danger to life, It is mixed with many toxic chemical components.
Chu Huan has been filtered and sterilized, and after several processes, he has actually driven out the other chemical components of the cold stone, and simply refined its sodium chloride, and now the crystals in the hands of several chefs are already very pure edible sodium chloride, which is completely edible, and its effect is completely equivalent to sea salt, but it is different from sea salt in color.
The cook thought for a moment before he said, "I've seen some refined salt, but the color is a little different...... Speaking of which, this kind of salt tastes even better than the best refined salt I've seen before......! ”
Chu Huan breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't really think that the salt he made was the best salt today, it could only be that the chef had not seen first-class refined salt, or the refining technology of this era was still relatively backward, even if it was sea salt, it could not be refined into high-grade fine salt, but he could see from the eyes of several chefs that the rock salt he refined was definitely the best quality of salt.
"Take this salt to cook a meal tonight, don't tell the house that the salt has been changed." Chu Huan thought for a while, "After everyone has eaten, let's see how everyone feels." ”
At dinner time, Chu Huan personally carried the lunch box to Lin Dai'er's yard, the courtyard door was closed, Chu Huan knocked on the courtyard door, and then looked inside through the crack in the door, this time he didn't wait long, and soon saw Lin Dai'er coming out of the house wearing a big coat, and after arriving at the courtyard gate, without waiting for Lin Dai'er to speak, Chu Huan had already said: "Dai'er, it's me, I'm here to bring you food." ”
Lin Dai'er hesitated, but finally opened the door, after opening the door, turned around and went to the inner room, Chu Huan put his hand on the latch of the courtyard door, followed quickly, and asked as he walked, "How is your health today?" Has Sun Boliu come to see it? Did he say anything? ”
Lin Dai'er didn't say much, entered the house, sat down at the table, Chu Huan put the lunch box on the table, and said with a smile while taking the dishes from the inside: "I don't know if you like to eat these or not, but they are all things that replenish qi and blood, I specially asked the cook to make it with a small stove alone, do you like it, if you like it, go back and let them make it for you, if you don't like it, next time let's change to another ......!" ”
Lin Dai'er wrapped her big hat, tilted her head slightly, looked at Chu Huan's smiling face, and asked coldly, "Have you ever sent food to others before?" ”
Chu Huan put the dishes in place, put the lunch box away, and put down two pairs of dishes, it seemed that he was obviously going to accompany Lin Dai'er to dine together, hearing Lin Dai'er ask like this, he said casually: "No, I didn't send anything to others before, you are the first ......!" Help Lin Dai'er put the dishes and chopsticks, took the chopsticks, looked at a few bowls of vegetables, and said softly: "I just arrived here, I haven't completely settled down, there is a lack of food here, and I can't buy a lot of things, this is what they sent, and a few chickens, let's eat slowly, this old hen soup is the most delicious, you see, this big chicken thigh...... Come on, come on, eat ......! "I grabbed a big chicken leg and put it in Lin Dai'er's dishes.
Lin Dai'er frowned and said, "They? Are you saying it's all someone else's? ”
Chu Huan looked up and saw Lin Dai'er's pretty face, but the two beautiful ones frowned, and immediately understood her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, do you really think that when I come here, I will immediately exploit the people?" Don't worry, it was sent by the gentry of Xiguan, but it was not bribed by them, but it was an old friendship, and I helped them a little in the past, so I paid off this debt of favor. Their things are only temporarily borrowed, and they are not familiar with the place here, so they need to help them first, otherwise even eating and drinking will be a problem, and the things they owe them will not be less when I settle down here and slow down a little. ”
"You have a relationship with Xiguan Haoshen before?" Lin Dai'er asked with interest, "Could it be that you also stayed in the northwest before?" ”
Chu Huan didn't hide it, he said about helping the seven surnames of Xiguan to give advice at the moment, and also mentioned that when he was in the household department, he tried to delay time for the Xiguan gentry, so that they had enough time to raise food, and if he was about Linlang, he was naturally not good at mentioning it in front of Lin Daier, and between the words, his heart was also a little helpless, secretly thinking that he didn't want to involve too many women in his life, but along the way, he seemed to be involved with many women, whether active or passive, Life always has their presence.
When I think of those women, I can't help but think of the little princess and Liu Meiniang, but I don't remember them the most, when it comes to remembering, Chu Huan has always been worried about Linlang in his heart, just because the little princess and Liu Meiniang are now missing, and even their life and death Chu Huan is not clear, and it is inevitable that he will worry more in his heart.
Lin Dai'er's pretty face was calm, and she waited for Chu Huan to finish speaking before she said: "In this way, your luck is not bad, when you get here, there are still these people waving the flag for you...... If it weren't for them, wouldn't you be here at all? ”
"Why?"
"Didn't you say it yourself?" Lin Dai'er's eyes were bright, but there was no color, and between the eagerness, she wrote lightly: "You came here to take up a post, you are a governor, if it weren't for them, you would be worried about eating and drinking, and a governor would have to worry about eating and drinking in your own territory, so doesn't it mean that you don't have any control over this place at all?" That being the case, how can you stay here for long? ”
Chu Huan thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "What you said is good, it seems that my luck is indeed good...... With the help of Xiguan Haogentry, although there are many people who want to drive me out of here, they will not be able to drive me away for a while. Nuzui said: "Eat quickly, the dishes are cold......!" ”
"I'm not hungry!" Lin Daier frowned.
"That's not going to happen." Chu Huan said: "You are not alone now, if you don't eat, not only will you be hungry, but the child in your belly will also be hungry." ”
Lin Dai'er snorted coldly, and the ghost sent the god to say: "It turns out that you care about the child, not me." As soon as she spoke, she immediately felt that there was a problem, but she seemed to care about Chu Huan's concern for herself, although she was informal, and had the refreshment of the people in the rivers and lakes, but when it came to the affairs of men and women, she couldn't get rid of it, realizing that she had said the wrong thing, her pretty cheeks were a little hot, and there was a touch of red, and under the light of the lights, her already very delicate face became more and more charming and pretty, containing the coquettish style of a young woman.
Chu Huan didn't expect Lin Dai'er to say this, but he was happy in his heart, but he also knew that Lin Dai'er was very thin-skinned in this kind of thing, and he was happy in his heart, and he couldn't tease him on the donkey down the slope, if he was another girl, whether it was Su Niang or Linlang, he felt that he had to laugh at will.
