"Dad, I promise, I'm not fooling around today, I just went out and saw someone selling fine salt in the East China Sea, and I bought a pound and came back, and I didn't go anywhere!"

Cui Sheng was afraid that Lao Tzu would get angry, so he hurriedly raised his hands to guarantee.

Lao Tzu's anger is related to his pocket money in the future, and he must be coaxed!

However, Cui Jingtong was disdainful, poured another cup of tea for himself, smelled the fishy smell of mutton fat, and sneered: "Hmph! But anyone with a slightly better quality dares to say that they are salt from the East China Sea, but in fact, they don't know where they picked it up! ”

"No, Dad, you see, this time it's really the best fine salt, otherwise we have so much salt in our house, why should I buy it back?"

"Humph! How good can it be? Can there be those good ministers in the palace? Cut......! ”

"Dad, this salt is the best salt I've ever seen, you can take a look first!"

Seeing that Lao Tzu didn't do anything, Cui Sheng opened the paper bag after dividing it by two.

"Humph! Then you haven't seen the world, wait until the next time you enter the palace......"

Cui Jingtong wanted to say something, but when Cui Sheng handed the paper package under his nose, he immediately closed his mouth.

A pair of mouse eyes stared straight at the white refined salt.

After a moment, he couldn't believe it was salt, and he reached out and pinched a little and put it in his mouth.

"This ...... Is this really salt? ”

Suddenly his face was full of surprise.

"Of course, Dad, a strong man with a raw face took a few people and pulled eight carriages in the city, full of this kind of salt, enough for tens of thousands of catties!"

Cui Sheng described the situation in detail.

"What? Tens of thousands of catties of this salt? ”

Cui Jingtong couldn't believe his ears.

Such good salt, even if the important ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee don't have it at home, they have never seen it, and someone actually sells it for 10,000 catties at once?

"That's right, I'm really watching!"

"How is this salt sold?"

Cui Jingtong rolled his eyes and hurriedly asked.

"A tael of gold for a tael of refined salt!"

"One gold ......?"

"Go! Hurry up and buy another hundred pounds! Fast! ”

After listening to the price, Cui Jingtong thought for a while and immediately pushed his son out.

Such fine salt is rare in the world, and the preciousness is comparable to that of jewelry, and if this salt is given as a gift to the ministers of the DPRK and China, it will definitely bring the relationship closer.

Their Cui family is a big winemaker in the city, and the entire Xianyang City and even the imperial palace drink his family's wine.

The reason why it can monopolize the entire brewing industry is that in addition to exquisite craftsmanship, it also depends on the care of all aspects of the relationship between the DPRK and China, all of which are indispensable!

If you use this salt to bribe officials, it will definitely be better than gold!

"What? ...... a hundred pounds? ”

Cui Sheng thought that Lao Tzu was crazy, so he hurriedly used the back of his hand to stick Lao Tzu's forehead, "A hundred catties of refined salt in the East China Sea will cost a thousand gold, how long will it take for our family to earn it back?" ”

"Long hair, short knowledge, let you do it, hurry up, reluctant children can't catch the wolf, do you know?"

Cui Jingtong took off his son's hand, and when he went up, he kicked it, and Cui Sheng, who kicked it, screamed.

"Alright, alright, I know Dad!"

……

In addition to the Cui family, a big brewer in Xianyang City, many wealthy merchants in the city bought some when they heard the news.

Xungui's family members were naturally not idle, and they had already started to use the stir-fry that night!

"Master, don't you think today's food is particularly delicious?"

On Zhao Cheng's mansion, a beautiful concubine took a mouthful of food and fed it to his mouth.

"Well, it's really good, and the colors look a lot brighter than usual!"

Feeling the pleasure brought by the tip of his tongue, Zhao Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Guess what's in the concubine here?"

The beautiful concubine smiled enchantingly, slightly meaningful.

"What?"

"It's refined salt, the very fine kind, there is no impurity, and there is no bitter taste of coarse salt!"

"Nonsense, how can there be the kind of salt in this world that you say? Even the salt eaten by His Majesty has impurities and bitterness in it! ”

Zhao Cheng picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of roasted mutton, shook his head with a smile.

"It's true, when the concubine took people to the street to buy rouge today, she came across several carts, and each car was snow-white and crystal clear! It's just that the price is a little more expensive, and one or two will cost a gold......! ”

"The concubine knew that it was not easy for the master to make money, so she only bought one pound back, and did not waste the master's hard-earned money!"

The beautiful concubine explained softly, and then did not forget to sprinkle a coquette.

"Haha, if there is really the kind of salt you said, don't say one gold, even ten gold is worth it!"

Until now, Zhao Cheng didn't believe that there was better salt on the market than in the palace.

The best things in the world are in the palace, if there is not even in the palace, then don't expect anything outside!

In the past, with the help of his brother Zhao Gaoguang, he could occasionally eat some fine salt rewarded by Yingzheng, but now it is good, and he can only eat bitter coarse salt.

It's just that the impurities can be slightly less than what the people eat!

"Oops! Master, why don't you believe it? This salt is really good, you wait, I'll get it for you! ”

Concubine Xiaomei stomped her feet anxiously and got up to find refined salt.

The salt was expensive, so she didn't buy it in the kitchen, but found a sandalwood box with gold jewelry!

"Look, sir!"

As the box opened, Zhao Cheng felt dazzling.

It's night, and even with candlelight, the house is dark.

But when the sandalwood box was opened, it seemed that the whole room was lit up for a while!

"You...... You say it's salt? ”

Zhao Cheng crushed it with his hands, and the grains were distinct, and even the size was almost the same.

"Of course, the concubine personally bought it, I still don't know?"

The beautiful concubine rolled her eyes angrily.

"And the salt?"

"Yes! When the concubine goes, there are still six carts full! ”

"I'll go to the street tomorrow and buy some back, such good salt is rare, and we won't be able to eat it in the future if it is snatched up by others!"

After seeing the white and fine salt, Zhao Cheng immediately said.

"Okay!"

The beautiful concubine naturally happily agreed.

She's the best at spending money!

And it's the dead girl who was ordered to spend money and was jealous of the dead lady in the east room!

……

This kind of thing also happened in Li Xin and Feng Zao's homes.

Zhao Cheng's official position is not high, his family background is relatively weak, he spent 100 gold to buy ten catties of snow-white refined salt to go home, and the family was so happy that they almost offered it up like a baby, and three incense sticks in the morning and evening.

Feng Zheng and Li Xin are generals, and they have not made any big achievements, but they have a lot of small credits, and their families are quite rich, and they spent a lot of gold to buy a lot of refined salt.

As the prime minister, Li Si was afraid that the impact would not be good, so he scattered all the house slaves, bought a little less per person, and spent nearly a thousand gold!

When Yingzheng was showing everyone the refined salt purified by Xiao Zhengtai, they were standing in the middle of the court to impeach them, and they didn't see it at all.

After the impeachment failed, Jingyan had already been put on Yingzheng's dragon case, and none of them dared to move, and they missed this opportunity alive!

But even those who have seen refined salt have bought a lot.

This is the best salt in Daqin now, who doesn't want to buy some and keep it at home.

Officials and nobles all have a mentality of comparison, if they don't have any good things, they won't be laughed out of their big teeth?
