But here's the problem...... They're really wronged!
After all, if it's just fireworks, although they look good, the price is so high that almost no one will buy them.
But there was gunpowder in it...... It's different!
Everyone knows the importance of gunpowder, not to mention, if you can get a certain amount of finished gunpowder, after bringing it back, you may not be able to imitate gunpowder......
Compared with gunpowder, a thousand taels of silver does not seem unacceptable, and even ...... Even if it is the auction form of the highest bidder, they can only agree!
"Quick, go to the business district and borrow money from the rich people who opened shops in the business district in our country!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you go too, borrow as much as you want, borrow as much as you can!"
"Don't borrow? They dare to borrow in the name of the state, who dares not to borrow, and cut the old lady on the spot!
One thousand taels of silver, and it is especially the highest price, everyone knows that this will inevitably cause a bloody storm!
As a result, the money they brought with them could not afford a lot of fireworks after all kinds of snacks, women's friends, and toilet paper......
Soon, they scraped together enough money, and the fireworks auction began......
Soon after, the fireworks shop closed, and all the fireworks were sold out, with a total value of more than 80 million taels!
......
On the high platform, the empress's face was indifferent, but she had some small worries in her heart, as long as she thought of 100 million taels of silver, she felt uncomfortable.
After all, he is afraid of poverty, and the silver in the treasury has never exceeded 10 million taels at one time, and now he has to bear 100 million taels of silver?
At this moment, Xiong Chumo slowly climbed the high platform, came to the empress's side, and whispered in a low voice.
After hearing this, the empress's eyes lit up instantly, and her previous worries disappeared in an instant!
Fireworks revenue of more than 80 million taels?
Tsk, isn't it just 100 million taels of silver? Even if Lin Zifan fails, what will happen?
But...... Wait, the thought of giving 100 million taels of silver if it really fails, my heart hurts......
Before this, the empress was worried about the lack of silver, and the entire Tang Dynasty would lose face!
But now, the empress is heartbroken, if she wants to give away this 100 million taels of silver...... Mom, you won't die of distress, right?
The empress blinked, a little tangled......
Immediately, she couldn't help but sweep her eyes to the competition area, and there were some gains and losses......
......
In the competition area, Lin Zifan stayed alone in the wooden house, did not start making salt, he was waiting for Xiong Chumo's arrival!
The art of making salt is not too difficult, but it is impossible for Lin Zifan to guard the salt factory and make salt all day long.
Therefore, he needs to pass on this technology, and Xiong Chumo is a very good woman, she loves to study, and she loves to use her brain, and the understanding over this period of time has also made him know that this woman is worth cultivating!
Jingle ......
In the wooden houses on both sides, there was a clanging sound, and Lin Zifan listened quietly without the slightest anxiety.
Crunch......
Soon after, the wooden door opened, and Xiong Chumo arrived.
"My lord!" she immediately bowed and saluted, at this moment, her respect for Lin Zifan was speechless!
Easily lead them to make fireworks, and even if it weren't for the sake of making paper and cultivating her own invented leads, I'm afraid that a lot of fireworks would have been made long ago!
Even if you don't forget it, you can still rely on fireworks, and this world's first salt road conference that everyone is not optimistic about, and collect countless money!
This means, this courage, how can people not be respectful?
"Come, let's start......" Lin Zifan nodded lightly, and then began to take her to make salt.
"Yes, sir!"
She started her life according to Lin Zifan's request, and placed the materials that Lin Zifan had prepared one by one.
"The method of making salt that I want to teach you is an ancient method, called the Zigong Salt Making Method!"
"Zigong?" Xiong Chu was puzzled: "My lord, what kind of place is that?"
"Zigong?" Lin Zifan's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he said quietly: "That's ...... An ancient city far away from Chang'an, it's normal that you don't know. ”
Zigong salt making method is the ancient salt making process of Zigong, and it is a pinnacle of well salt!
When Lin Zifan was cooking, he was fortunate to learn from a salt master for a period of time, so he was full of confidence in this salt road conference!
"It's like making fireworks, I'll do it, you do it!"
"Huh?" Xiong Chu was stunned: "My lord, I can't help it!"
"We only have a barrel of coarse salt, and the time is limited, if the lower official messes up, 100 million taels of silver, the lower official can't afford it!"
"Who let you take care of it?" Lin Zifan sneered: "If you want to do it, you will do it, I'm afraid of a fart!
"Of course it's a woman!" Xiong Chumo's face turned red, and he said hurriedly: "Pure girl, how can a lower official be a man?"
"Then don't grind and chirp! like a man......" Lin Zifan's face was strange, why is it very wrong to say this?
"Yes, sir!"
Xiong Chumo was provoked by Lin Zifan, and he didn't coax anymore, and started directly!
Zigong salt making method, the materials and tools needed are not less, the complete process is to pour the brine of salt making on the wicker shelf and blast several times to improve the concentration, and then boil it with high fire to obtain coarse salt.
But now, their raw material is coarse salt, so naturally the first two steps can be omitted.
However, there are many impurities in coarse salt, and the taste is bitter, the color is yellow, and there is even salt poison! How can we remove impurities and get refined salt that is as white as snow and has an excellent taste?
The ancient Zigong people, who were full of wisdom, came up with some wonderful methods!
That is to pour the brine into the pot and boil! After boiling, the soybean milk is put into the pot according to a certain proportion to absorb various impurities......
Subsequently, the foam that absorbs impurities is sieved with a sieve, and salt residue is added to promote crystallization, and after it is fully formed, it is also put into a wooden retort, evenly poured with flower water, and purified again......
ps: The specific details will be skipped, otherwise there is a suspicion of the number of water words, if you are interested, you can learn for yourself, the salt-making process of ancient Zigong is really full of wisdom......
On the whole, the steps of this salt-making method are: the branch frame is thickly brine> purifying the brine> it is mixed with brine> the barrel is stored in a warm pot> the thick brine >is mixed with the brine> adding new water to > soybean milk> boiled into salt> drenched with flower water, etc......
The steps are not too many, but not too few, after completion, the finished salt obtained is white and crystalline, high salt content and pure taste, scratched and white, like snowflakes......
Under the guidance of Lin Zifan, Xiong Chumo was extremely cautious and busy, for fear that if he was not careful, he would lose the coarse salt that was already small.
Although Fang just said that he was a girl and would not coax him, but now he ...... Still a little cowardly.
