Chapter 17 Salt Making
Mu Qingli had never seen such a beautiful man.
He was about twenty-four or five years old, with a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular and cold hand; The dark and deep eyes hide endless coldness; The thick eyebrows, the tall nose, and the beautiful lips are like an eagle in the night, cold and arrogant but arrogant but imposing, and the independence exudes a strong force that dominates the world.
Although he is a superb beautiful man, those eyes reminded Mu Qingli of the man who gave her a knife in her heart, her heart trembled, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at it again.
Zhao Ziyi looked at the big and small ones in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "Who said that there is a way to make salt?" “
Ding Gangtou pushed Mu Qingli, and said hurriedly: "General, this little soldier has a way!" Only then did he realize that he seemed to have forgotten to ask Mu Qingli's name......
"Huh? It's you? Tell me what you can do. ”
Mu Qingli bowed his head and replied: "Prepare a large iron pot, fine linen cloth and charcoal, the steps of making salt are too cumbersome, I need to go to the lake to refine it on the spot." “
Zhao Ziyi frowned, as if he was not very satisfied with Mu Qingli's answer, his tone was cold, implying danger: "Hiding your head and tail, how does General Ben know if what you said is true?" ”
Mu Qingli was angry when she heard this, looked up at Zhao Ziyi and said: "The general is not even willing to try, how do you know if what I said is true, if I can't do it, I can still run away!" Mu Qingli was really annoyed, and kindly wanted to help solve the predicament of Hanmenguan, but she questioned and threatened her so much, what is the use of being handsome, sure enough, people with such eyes are not good birds!
Zhao Ziyi didn't know that at this time, he had been classified by Mu Qingli as a hostile party that could not be deeply befriended, if he knew, he would not be like this, and he would not regret it in the future.
The two people in the room were stunned, as if they didn't expect Mu Qingli's temperament to be so big.
Ding Gangtou was so anxious that he patted Mu Qingli's shoulder and shouted, "Don't be unreasonable to the general!" ”
Mu Qingli pursed her lips and looked down to the side, unwilling to admit her mistake.
Zhao Ziyi adjusted his breathing, stood up and said, "Hmph, people are quite small, but their temper is quite big, let you try, come on." The soldier standing guard outside the hall stepped inside, bowed his head and waited for the order, "You go and prepare according to his request, and take it to the lake." ”
The soldier took the order and departed.
Zhao Ziyi walked around the desk, came to Mu Qingli, stared at the little bean in front of him, who was only as tall as his chest, and asked with interest, "What's your name?" ”
Mu Qingli stared down at the upper of the shoe, gritted her teeth and said, "Ergou." ”
Zhao Ziyi: "............"
Ding Gangtou: "............"
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Ziyi, Ding Gangtou and Mu Qingli, as well as everyone pulling materials on a flatbed truck, went to the largest lake in Hanmen Pass.
After arriving at the shore, Mu Qingli ignored Zhao Ziyi and methodically commanded a group of people to collect firewood, set up pots, and boil water, while she collected blue-black salt cubes on the shore and piled them up next to the iron pot. After the water boiled, Mu Qingli instructed these people to throw the salt cubes into the pot, and after it was completely melted, it was filtered with gauze and charcoal, boiled dry, and then passed through cold and hot water several times.
Zhao Ziyi watched from a short distance throughout the whole process, with a cold face, making people not know what he was thinking.
A group of people stared at the whole process at a good glance, for fear of missing a step. After repeated filtration and refining of crystals, the blue-black salt gradually turned into snow-white salt.
Mu Qingli lightly dipped her index finger in some salt, and after tasting it, she nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay, the refining is complete." ”
