Chapter 132: Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival has been passed down since the Han Dynasty, and it has become a grand event to pray for blessing and peace.

Meng Yifei proposed to let Baibi City, which had just escaped from the war, hold a lantern festival, and after hearing it, Qu Tutong thought it was feasible, so he released the news to the entire Baibi City, which immediately caused everyone's reaction.

In the past few days, everyone has started to prepare for the lantern festival, and some vendors have taken the opportunity to resume their business, and the old people with skills have started to make lanterns to earn some money and improve their livelihoods. The people near the city and some wandering merchants heard about the lantern festival in Baibi, and they also began to gather here, and for a while, the vitality of Baibi City began to recover, and food, crops, and various materials slowly arrived.

As the lantern festival approaches, Baibi City is becoming more and more lively, and business is becoming more and more prosperous.

It was just a simple proposal, and Baibi City immediately changed its appearance, and its recovery speed was so fast that it could be called the fastest city recovered since Li Shimin's conquest. Qu Tutong was very satisfied, when Li Shimin came back, he would be able to hand him a perfect Baibi City, which was very grateful to Meng Yifei's proposal, otherwise he would never have imagined it with his head.

The main funds for holding the lantern festival are the money of the two wealthy people, Gao Feiyang and Zhang Qu are each responsible for half of it, this is actually Meng Yifei's secret proposal to Qu Tutong, which is counted as an investment for their two competitions. Of course, each of them didn't know that the other party had paid for the Lantern Festival, Qu Tutong just said that when the Lantern Festival opened, they would be grateful to the investors behind them, and for this opportunity, the two would naturally not let it go, but if they heard each other's names at that time, would they regret it to death?

Meng Yifei was still guilty because he calculated Gao Feiyang, but he helped make salt that day, and on the second day, Meng Yifei and the four salt workers were very busy, and finally got out the secret salt that Gao Feiyang wanted.

When those workers came to Meng Yifei's house the next day, they were heartbroken when they saw the melted salt water. Meng Yifei asked them to stir the salt water tank with an iron pestle, and then poured all the salt water into a large iron pot and boiled, after boiling for a long time, the water in the pot had been half boiled, and white crystals began to appear in the pot. And when Meng Yifei put the iron pot into the cold water, there were more and more white crystals in the pot, and in the end, it was completely condensed. Then he filtered the water with a black cloth, and as a result, white salt appeared on the black cloth.

At that time, the salt workers were taken aback by the fact that it was almost a tribute-level 'snowfall', and they all thought it was a miracle that people should not do. Meng Yifei did not explain to them the problems of saturation and boiling melting point, but told them that they would learn this technology and use this method to extract secret salt in the future.

A pot of salt water was finally made out by Meng Yifei about fifty catties of salt, and each tank could burn nearly five large pots, so in the end, his flying ten tons of bitter salt became a ton of 'snowfall' secret salt.

There could have been more, but Meng Yifei wasted more in order to refine high-quality salt.

When Meng Yifei informed Gao Feiyang of the news, Gao Feiyang was so frightened that he regretted it, when he pushed Meng Yifei's mansion, it was obviously fifty cars, but when it came out, there were only less than five cars, he originally thought that there would be about ten cars. His plans were all shattered.

However, when he saw the five truckloads of 'snow' level salt, he was instantly shocked. Five cars of snowfall, which he had never seen in his life. So far, there have not been two trucks of snowfall he has offered to Chang'an, which makes Gao Feiyang dumbfounded.

He knows the difficulties of making 'snowfall', if these fifty trucks of bitter salt are made of snowfall-level salt, it is simply impossible, don't even think about one car, it is not only a technical problem, it is simply a problem of raw materials! Only salt collected in natural caves or in unpolluted salt ponds can be made into a sufficient level of 'snowfall'. However, Meng Yifei not only made his low-quality bitter salt into 'snowfall', but also five cars at a time, five cars! If he pays tribute to the palace, then he will not add officials to the knighthood, and he will not fly to Huang Tengda, and see who will dare to say that he has no power in the imperial court in the future.

This salt like snowflakes has become his lifeblood! Its value is far from being comparable to that of fifty carts of bitter salt. Gao Feiyang almost knelt down to Meng Yifei for this, if Meng Yifei hadn't stopped him. And the four workers who followed Meng Yifei to make salt were instantly hired by Gao Feiyang as the chief salt maker, they are no longer salt farmers, but salt makers, and the treatment they enjoy will be hundreds of times higher than before them.

After hearing this, the four workers did not dare to forget Meng Yifei's kindness, and knelt down one after another, and it was too late for Meng Yifei to stop it.

Meng Yifei's status in their hearts instantly became sacred, he was not only in military strategy, but also in the small things of life, medical skills, and all aspects, he was an all-round genius!

Meng Yifei really has nothing to say about this, but it feels really good to be worshipped.

And Gao Feiyang also instantly gained confidence, but these snowfall words are really difficult to deal with, he is a little reluctant, but the technology has been learned, how much will be in the future.

At that moment, what he wanted to think about was how to use the only five trucks of 'snowfall' to impress more people.

At the lantern party, Qu Tutong gave him a chance to give a speech with Zhang Qu, and finally voted for selection, of course, these ideas were given by Meng Yifei.

Meng Yifei said that he would not participate in this matter, but he was operating in the dark from beginning to end. Even Qu Tutong, the old stubborn, went to Meng Yifei's mansion in person to ask for advice, looking for both sides to raise funds, and the opinions he voted for were the clever plans he asked for from Meng Yifei's mansion.

And Meng Yifei, as the behind-the-scenes operator, put more plans on the people in the slum.

He expected that Zhang Qu would do good deeds in order to move people's hearts and donate food to help the poor, so he told the hundreds of poor people in the slum area the news, but the next day Zhang Qu's food donation ceremony was very noisy. Zhang Qu suffered a great loss, and the planned ten stone (600 kilograms) of grain was far from enough, so he gave away half of the thirty stone grain he brought to Baibi.

It is indeed a little pitiful, but Meng Yifei at least gave him a favor, and the hundreds of people in the slum will be his important supporters. If Gao Feiyang only sells salt, he would not have given such a good opportunity to Zhang Qu.

After completing this matter, another big stone fell in Meng Yifei's heart. Next, he naturally took care of Lethe with all his heart. In the past two days, because he was busy making salt, he snubbed this stupid girl, but fortunately, Linglong helped take care of it, so Meng Yifei would not worry about Lechuan all day long.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and when the Lantern Festival ends, it will be the battle between the two sides for the right to the salt road of Baibi Castle. Of course, before that, everyone naturally wandered around the lantern festival.

Lechuan wore a snow-white dress today, exactly the same as when Meng Yifei first saw her, but now Lechuan is even more transformed, a little more mature, a little sexy, and a little coquettish. The white hairband ran down the hair, around the shoulders, on the straight chest, the shoulder clothes were as beautiful as flowers, and the jade neck of Lechuan was placed, so that the bloody man did not want to bite on the flawless neck. The tight skirt squeezes the huge twin peaks of Lechuan to the point of coming out, half-covering and half-exposed, which makes people infinitely reverie. Finally, the snow light shirt is worn on the body, adding a little hazy.

Although Lethe's injury had not fully recovered, she was in high spirits and seemed to have forgotten about the wound on her back. At the lantern fair, stumbling all the way, looking around, all kinds of lanterns are dazzling, making people dizzy.

And the other girl of the Meng family, Linglong, and her daughter's outfit made Meng Yifei dumbfounded, not talking about her face, but only her figure, just like her name, delicate and boneless, delicate and light. Presumably under the mask, there must be a beauty.

Today she changed her face, a woman's face, a face that looked very much like Xuan'er, and Meng Yifei almost admitted her mistake. This girl had never seen Xuan'er before, how could she become so similar. Meng Yifei asked her to restore her original appearance for herself to see, but she refused, saying that her true appearance was only shown to her own man. Meng Yifei could only be helpless in this regard. About her dress today is also particularly amazing, wearing a pink flower skirt, wearing two milk swallow gold ornaments, feather clothes like the wind, and following Lechuan like a flying swallow in the waiting back and forth.

This little girl, who is younger than herself, only sixteen or seventeen years old, is born out of nature at this moment, leaving all her troubles behind, and following her sister Lechuan all the way crazy.
