Chapter 5 The Shocking Green Salt
Lu Heng glanced the young sergeant up and down.
Although he had no idea of the military rank in this era......
However, it seems that the sergeants next to him are very respectful to him, and he speaks.
I guess it's the leader.
He was still thinking about how to deal with the interrogation, and Lu Tongren was already sweating on his forehead.
It doesn't matter if the sergeant interrogates him, it doesn't matter if he is blackmailed by these soldiers, anything that can cost money to eliminate the disaster is not a big deal for him.
Here's the problem.
What they're doing now is making private salt!
If it is caught by the sergeant, it will be a great merit for the other party, and it is impossible for people to ask for money and not take credit.
Spending money won't be enough!
Lu Tongren was about to say something.
But I heard my son speak first.
Lu Heng grinned:
"Master Jun, our family of three is having a picnic here, we just prepared the stove and want to get some fish to eat."
"Why don't you eat some together?"
Cheng Chumo was stunned at that time.
He glanced at the pots and pans in front of him that he hadn't had time to clean up, and a pile of bottles and cans that he didn't know what to hold.
Then the general will be suspicious:
"Picnic?"
"Then why are you running!"
"When the official came to the horse, everyone was holding objects in their hands."
"Don't say you don't want to run!"
Lu Heng looked at the iron pot he was holding, and he didn't feel frightened at all, but put the pot down very calmly.
He pointed to the horses of Cheng Chumo and the sergeants behind him, and said:
"You've just come on horseback, and you're so loud that a good person like us who travels as a family will be afraid."
"My father said there might be bandits and bandits around here."
"We didn't know it was a sergeant coming, we thought it was a horse bandit, what if we didn't run?"
"I'm hard-headed, take my life?"
Cheng Chumo was very embarrassed.
He could naturally hear the meaning of these words.
Those who came on horseback like them were either horse bandits or officers and soldiers.
And the reputation of the officers and soldiers among the common people is ...... It's a bit of an unpleasant feeling.
As one of them, Cheng Chumo, who has been strictly educated by his father since he was a child, is also ashamed to be with him.
It's a pity that his current position is not high enough, and he can't shake those huge numbers of soldiers.
Half a day.
Cheng Chumo, who finally relieved his embarrassment, asked again:
"So, what's in this pot?"
Everyone's eyes moved to the cauldron at the same time.
What was in it was the salt that Lu Heng had just made!
When I ran with the pot just now, the pot was boiling, and the water had not completely evaporated.
However, after a period of residual heat heating, the semi-dry brine has dried up, and a thick layer of white crystals has formed at the bottom of the pot.
Looks very suspicious!
Lu Tongren was afraid that his son would say the wrong thing, so he planned to explain again.
But Lu Heng stiffened his neck and said in a daze:
"This is the salt we knocked down from the rock wall to be used to grill the fish."
"Didn't you say that selling illicit salt would lead to beheading?"
"Make your own salt and eat it yourself, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Seeing that he was so confrontational with this young sergeant, Lu Tongren was so anxious that he stomped his feet beside him.
Even if he knew that his son was just stupid, he didn't mean it.
But who says that everything in the world is?
If people are unhappy, they can make a name and kill their son in minutes!
But unexpectedly-
Cheng Chumo did not have a seizure on the spot.
On the contrary, he saw that the young man in front of him looked like a fool, and he spoke very directly, very similar to the personality of some people in the army, so he didn't feel offended.
Without saying a word, he took two steps forward, and was about to stretch out his fingers to scrape a little from the pot and taste it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Heng was anxious at that time!
"Why are you so unhygienic?"
Lu Heng grabbed Cheng Chumo's hand, pointed at him and said:
"Do you know how much dirt you have on your hands!"
"Even if your hands look clean, they don't look the same."
"What's more, look at your hands, so much mud, if you don't wash it, you have to touch it?"
"If you don't eat it, others will eat it!!"
Rao knew that the other party was Han, and Cheng Chumo's temper was also a little up.
He wanted to withdraw his hand and get angry again.
As a result, I couldn't pull it out no matter how hard I tried!
This kid, why is his hand strength so much bigger than himself?!
Cheng Chu was secretly frightened, but Lu Heng didn't think so.
He took it upon himself to pull the young sergeant to the river, put his hand in the river, and rubbed it vigorously.
After a while, a thick layer of mud was really rubbed off!
After returning to where everyone was.
Lu Heng looked at his hands and shook his head:
"No, no, no, you still can't touch it directly."
As he spoke, he took out a pair of chopsticks from the simple homemade waist bag on his waist and stuffed them into Cheng Chumo's hand.
"You can taste this for yourself, I'm going to catch fish, so I won't talk to you about it first."
After dropping a sentence, Lu Heng walked directly to the river.
Only everyone was left looking at his back with each other's faces.
Cheng Chumo turned his head blankly and looked at Lu Tongren:
"You're his father?"
"He's been so honest since he was a kid...... Ahem, so straightforward, and so powerful? ”
Lu Tongren was really embarrassed:
"Don't hide it, this stinky boy, the grass people can't take care of it."
"Please take care of me, Master Jun."
It didn't take long.
Lu Heng returned here with a big fish in his hand.
Originally, he proposed to come to the river to make salt for several reasons.
First, because I heard Xiao Shi say that there are a lot of salt ores that are readily available in this vicinity, which is convenient for obtaining materials.
The second thing is that after you make the salt, you can start grilling the fish directly!
Let's be honest.
After coming to Datang for a few days, he hasn't eaten a full meal!
It's either steamed or boiled, and if it doesn't work, then it is braised or fried.
Cooking? Inexistent!
Eating these big meat and oil foods every day, he almost vomited.
Lu Heng had tried to make some stir-fried vegetables to improve his food, but he found that the current salt is completely different from what modern people eat.
Not only does it taste bitter and salty, but when you put it in the dish, the dish tastes even more weird.
Can't eat it at all!
He's been suffering for a long time!
As a man who lives alone in the kitchen in the modern hall, Lu Heng cherished the resentment of the Tang Dynasty's diet, and cut the big fish in his hand clean.
After he has processed the big fish and skewered them with a scraped wooden stick.
As soon as he turned around, he saw the shocked eyes of the young sergeant.
In the other party's hand, he was still holding chopsticks that had just been stuffed.
"You really made this salt?"
Cheng Chumo was shocked for a while.
He was shocked and said:
"There is no bitterness at all, only saltiness ......"
"The color of the view is blue and white, and it is extremely transparent."
"It's the best green salt!"
"This thing, even if it is a dignitary in Beijing, it is not easy to buy."
"You told me you did it yourself?!"
