Chapter 13 shocked everyone
Coming out of the White Jade Tower, Yu Feng's whole person was not good.
Bai Yulou confiscated their food money, they saved three taels of silver, if they can enter the mountain again tomorrow, they will have two taels of silver, and the salt only needs to be sold for fifteen taels, and it is just twenty taels.
Yu Feng planned so, even so, he still felt that the price of fifteen taels was too high, but he definitely underestimated the courage of this girl.
"Fifty taels...... You...... What do you think! ”
……
"Yes, fifty taels, what do you think!" Bai Yulou, the shopkeeper also complained to Miss Bai, "Tribute salt is not so expensive!" ”
Miss Bai glared at him angrily: "Then you bought it for me!" ”
The shopkeeper choked.
Tribute salt is something that can only be eaten in the palace and the palace, and these merchants have no way to buy it, even if they see it.
Yu Wan first went to the market to buy gauze and dozens of catties of soybeans, and then returned to the village with Yu Feng with two large barrels of salt.
After arriving home, Yu Wan plunged into the stove house.
Only then did Yu Feng understand why she let him carry so much water and chop so much firewood.
Yu Wan first boiled a large pot of hot water and poured all the salt in the first wooden barrel into it: "Big brother, is there a mill in the old house?" Can you help me grind soybeans into soy milk? ”
Yu Feng didn't ask why, and went without saying a word.
The unpalatable salt in ancient times was mainly due to the fact that it contained too many impurities, and as long as these impurities were removed, the taste could rise to a new level, which was easy to say, but it was a time-consuming and labor-intensive technical work to do.
After Yu Wan boiled the salt, she filtered it with gauze once, and at this time it filtered out the coarser impurities, but there were more delicate ones, so you need to use other media.
Yu Wan poured the filtered brine (salt) water back into the pot.
"The bean juice is here!" Yu Feng walked in with two large vasks of soybean juice.
Yu Wan poured the raw soybean milk into the brine, and after a while, the dregs floated up, Yu Wan scooped out the tumbling dregs, poured in the raw soy milk again, and repeated three or five times until the brine could no longer scoop up the dirty things, at this time, the color of the brine had become very clear, and the amount was reduced by half.
Yu Feng was stunned as he looked at the brine in the pot, he never knew that bean juice could still be used like this......
Yu Wan gasped slightly: "When the water in the pot is dry, the salt will come out." ”
It was cold, but fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, Yu Feng's expression was a little complicated, and he wanted to find something to help her wipe her sweat, but he was not a delicate little girl, and he would carry a handkerchief with him.
He pinched his sleeve, and it was still clean......
Without waiting for him to move, Yu Wan put down the lid of the pot and opened her mouth: "Big brother help me take a look, I'll go and get the iron egg back." ”
Yu Feng hurriedly put down his stiff arm: "Got it, you can go." ”
Yu Wan went to the uncle's house to bring back the sweaty little iron egg, gave him a bath, and wiped Jiang Shi with a bath, and after the little iron egg fell asleep, Yu Wan continued to return to the stove.
Miss Bai gave her a lot of salt, and she couldn't cook it in one pot.
Yu Feng stayed to help, and the brothers and sisters were busy until dawn, and finally succeeded in purifying all the salt.
The two of them couldn't take a break, so they hurriedly rented an ox cart from the village and sent the salt to the White Jade Building.
Bai Tang waited in the lobby early, fifty taels is not a small amount, yesterday it was because his father was not there, she made a claim, but now her father is on the way back, if she knows that she took fifty taels to buy a salt that I don't know if I can't make it......
Bai Tang couldn't dare to think about it!
After the salt was purified, the large and irregular blue-gray salt that had been used earlier turned into small crystal clear salt grains, and the amount was also reduced by half.
The shopkeeper couldn't help frowning: "How did it become so few?" Is this salt? ”
The cooks of Bai Yulou also surrounded them, including Master Lu, who had met Yu Wan in the bazaar.
Master Lu has never seen such salt.
However, he recognized Yu Wan, the little girl who even made the fish soup wrong.
Will such a person know how to make salt?
He scoffed.
The rest of the cooks laughed too.
Only Bai Tang didn't laugh.
Bai Tang is not a little businesswoman who has never seen the world, the world only knows that her father is a businessman, but she doesn't know that her mother was originally a lady in the capital, when she returned to Ning with her mother, she really saw and tasted this snowflake-like salt with her own eyes.
When Yu Wan put the salt grains in front of her, she was a little speechless in shock.
Whether it is shocking that she can really see snowflake salt again in her lifetime, or whether she is surprised that a village girl actually made snowflake salt, I don't know.
But it's just that things are similar, and the taste may be 108,000 miles away!
Bai Tang glanced at Yu Wan arrogantly: "My ugly words are ahead, if the taste doesn't satisfy me, I won't give you a copper plate!" ”
Yu Wan smiled lightly: "Okay." ”
"What's good? Be careful that she pays her bills. Yu Feng said lightly.
Bai Tang slammed the knife and threw it over: "Who is the debt?!" ”
Yu Feng didn't bother to talk to her.
Bai Tang gritted her teeth in anger, it wasn't for the sake of so many salt grains, she would blast this nasty guy out now!
The chef of Bai Yulou used Yu Wan's salt grains to make a home-cooked side dish - braised pork with cabbage.
In the past, in order to suppress the astringency in the salt, they needed to put in a lot of sauce, and then add a little sugar to enhance the freshness, today they deliberately made it difficult for Yu Wan, so they only put salt, but no one expected that the fried cabbage was sweeter than ever before, and this sweet taste invaded the pork belly, perfectly removing the greasy taste of the fatty meat; The lean meat is more tender, but it is not firewood at all, and when you suck it, it melts in your mouth, and your mouth is full of oil.
Bai Tang thought that no matter how good the taste was, she would have to pretend to be difficult to swallow, so that she could suppress the price with her again, but she couldn't stop eating and eating......
"Miss Bai is still satisfied?" Yu Wan looked at the plate that had been eaten by Bai Tang and there was not even any residue left, and asked with crooked eyebrows.
Bai Tang touched his stomach and burped.
Belch...... If you don't say you're satisfied, can't you have it too late?
……
The brother and sister took the silver ticket and went to the pharmacy.
Where did the guy at the pharmacy expect that the two of them really got the money together? He had already sent someone to the yamen to report to the official, so he hurriedly asked an errand runner to chase the man back.
"I mean, you can't have an unknown origin for this silver ticket, right?" The guy asked suspiciously.
I really don't blame him for being careful, but this family started to see him two years ago, and he knows very well what the situation of their family is, and if he really has the ability to earn money, he will not be in arrears to this day.
Yu Wan smiled: "Little brother, please rest assured, every money we make with our ability is clean." ”
She was so pleasant that she embarrassed the man.
The man coughed lightly: "You wait, I'll return the IOU to you." ”
