Chapter Seventy-Four: Snowflake Salt
The steward said that he wanted to see what first-class salt and second-class salt looked like first-class salt first, which was natural, and Xu Jiao took him to see it.
"This is our second-class salt, which is more delicate than third-class salt, with fewer magazines and a purer flavor that you can taste."
The steward looked at it very carefully, and dipped a small amount to taste, the saltiness was a little stronger, and the appearance was much better, in short, he had never seen it, and he had never even heard of it.
"What about the first class of salt?" The steward asked, second-class salt has never been heard of, what will first-class salt look like?
Xu Jiao unhurriedly took down the box containing first-class salt, gently opened the lid, and made a gesture for him to watch.
I saw a piece of snow white, smooth and free of impurities, and the salt grains seemed to be distinct, but they were like an inseparable snow-capped mountain.
"Is this salt?" The steward couldn't believe it.
Xu Jiao nodded and explained: "Our first-class salt has a name, called snowflake salt, which means that it is as white as snow, of course, the taste of snowflake salt is also more pure, and there will be no adulterated impure taste." ”
Xu Jiao handed over a small spoon again: "You can taste the taste, you can't use your fingers for snowflake salt, I'm afraid that there will be impurities on your fingers that will affect its completely pure taste." ”
The steward knew this truth, took it and tasted it, it did have a completely superior taste, much more than the second-class salt, it turned out that the salt could be so mellow, it turned out that before that, he had never understood what was the real saltiness.
"And what is the price of this salt?" The steward asked.
He must buy it, and the old lady will be satisfied when he buys it back, who will be dissatisfied with snowflake salt? I'm afraid that His Majesty may not have enjoyed such high-quality salt.
Xu Jiaoyan smiled, and finally came to a big customer: "Snowflake salt is not easy to come by, the production process is extremely complex, and the quantity is limited, our salt master may not be willing to do it in the future, the requirements are too harsh." ”
Xu Jiao laid a lot of groundwork, and then quoted the price: "Yes, our snowflake salt is sold by two, one or two snowflake salt, and the price is eighty taels of silver." ”
Hearing the price, the steward obviously hesitated, this time he came out to buy, and he took a total of five hundred taels, if he bought snowflake salt, he couldn't buy the others.
Xu Jiao saw his hesitation, and said: "Eating our snowflake salt for a long time can improve your spirit." "It's not that she's bragging, the salt here is full of impurities, and it will even be toxic if you take it for a long time, and the snowflake salt will not be toxic.
And the system also told her that the people here have been harmed by impurity salt for a long time, and if they change to snowflake salt, the effect of improving their spirit and spirit will be more obvious, which is also her biggest confidence in selling snowflake salt.
The lord is an official in the court, and if he eats this to improve his physical energy, he will definitely be very happy.
"Buy!" The steward gritted his teeth and decided to buy it, but he really didn't have much money and couldn't buy too much.
"How much to buy?" Xu Jiao asked.
"Five taels of snowflake salt." The steward took the heart to report the figures, which were already almost all the money in his hands.
Xu Jiao smiled brightly, and shouted back in a more powerful voice than before: "Come on five taels of snowflake salt!" ”
Snowflake salt? The people who were still queuing looked at it curiously, and the steward was watched by so many people, and suddenly straightened his waist, feeling a sense of superiority.
Among the people were bold, and they asked directly: "Boss, what is snowflake salt?" Why do we all buy third-class salt directly? ”
Xu Jiao directly took the boxes of snowflake salt and second-class salt to show them, and sure enough, although the second-class salt was also shocking, it was not worth mentioning in the comparison of snowflake salt.
Snowflake salt is so white that it even gives people a sense of holiness, even though it's just salt.
"Old, boss, this is also salt?" The people were amazed.
No wonder they were surprised, it was beyond their knowledge.
Xu Jiao said: "Of course it is, this is snowflake salt, and one or two snowflake salts cost 80 taels of silver." Second-class salt is also sold by taels, and one tael only costs one tael of silver. ”
In fact, there are not many impurities in second-class salt, but in the end, everything will be much more expensive if it is a little bit of improvement.
Just like when you take an exam, you get 10 points at the beginning, and you won't find it very difficult to get 50 points after working hard for a while.
But if you work very hard, and you start with a score of 95, and if you want to get a perfect score of 100, you have to put in many times more energy.
The people knew that they could not afford such things, but they still couldn't help but look at them, as if the contents of the box had attracted all their minds.
The packaging of snowflake salt is made of a special wooden box, the wooden box is very simple and does not have any carving, but it just gives people a long aftertaste, probably because the contents are snowflake salt.
The steward got the snowflake salt and couldn't wait to go home, he wanted to tell the old lady earlier, didn't you listen to what the boss just said, the snowflake salt is limited.
The first time the steward returned home was to go to the backyard to see his wife, and the master was not free during the day, so he was out of office.
"Madame, ma'am, I have something for you."
The hostess of the house remembered that the steward should have gone out to buy it today, why did she come back so quickly, and she only came back with a small wooden box.
Thinking like this, she was a little angry, but after all, she was a reasonable person, and it was not too late to be angry after hearing what he had to say first.
"Why did you come back with a little wooden box? That's what you buy? ”
The steward hurriedly opened the box, and no explanation was as useful as letting her see it with her own eyes.
"It's ......," the hostess glanced at casually.
"What is this?!" She immediately sat up straight and picked up the small box to watch.
In the end, it was the hostess of the back house who was in charge of all kinds of things at home, and she had some guesses about this thing, but she wasn't sure, after all, this was really incredible, even like a fake thing.
"Madame, this is salt, called snowflake salt." The steward's words confirmed her suspicions.
"Where did you get this?" She couldn't take her eyes off the snowflake salt, and her mouth was still asking questions.
"Madame, do you remember the Shiwei House that sold perfume a few days ago?" The steward asked.
"Naturally, I remember his family's fragrance, and I still remember it."
"This snowflake salt is the owner of Shiweiju, she opened a new store called Jiweiju, and it sells this snowflake salt."
The steward explained to her in detail the difference and price of the three kinds of salt, and the hostess did not blame him, but praised him for his insight and ability.
"Now, take a thousand taels to buy snowflake salt, I can't buy fragrant dew, we must buy this salt."
The steward also got a lot of additional rewards, but in fact, the reward was secondary, mainly because his ability was affirmed and remembered by the master.
