In the courtyard, Lu Youyi called a salt worker in front of him, "Father, his name is Deng Wu, he is a worker in our salt factory, and he made the snowflake salt process." "

Lu Dingtian looked at Deng Wu, nodded with a smile, "The old man is true to his word, as long as you can really produce snowflake salt, the old man will definitely give you a big reward."

Tell me, how did you do that? ”

The Chen family and the Lu family are already allies, and this kind of thing must be hidden from Old Lady Chen.

Deng Wu rubbed his hands nervously, "After the villain heard that the most important raw material for the production of snowflake salt is sulfur, he has been thinking of a way.

A few days ago, I had a whim, heated the sulfur, smoked our sea salt, and found that the color of those sea salt seemed to have become lighter, so I had a flash of inspiration, and specially used the heated sulfur to fumigate under the sea salt, and I didn't expect that the finished product was exactly the same as snowflake salt! ”

Lu Dingtian and Old Lady Chen were stunned when they heard this, and then laughed, "I can't imagine that the so-called snowflake salt is so simple!" ”

"However......" Lu Dingtian frowned again, "As far as the old man knows, Lu An's snowflake salt is produced from Jincheng County, that is to say, their salt is by no means sea salt, but should be made from mineral salt that can be found everywhere in the Western Regions or Hexi."

By the way, Yi'er, have you tried the taste of our snowflake salt after it is made? ”

"Uh, this...... Not yet. Lu Youyi lowered his head in embarrassment, "The child heard that the production of snowflake salt has a little eyebrows, and he was happy, so he immediately came over to report the good news, but there is no difference between the appearance of our snowflake salt and Lu An's snowflake salt, and the taste should not be much worse, right?" ”

Although Lu Dingtian was angry in his heart, he didn't blame his son, after all, with such results, he was already happy enough.

Thinking of this, Lu Dingtian picked up a piece of snowflake salt smoked by Deng Wu and put it in his mouth and tasted it.

"Phew!"

As soon as he entered, Lu Dingtian spit out the salt grains.

Seeing this, Lu Youyi's face immediately changed greatly.

"Father—"

Lu Dingtian rinsed his mouth, shook his head and sighed, "It's still wrong!" There is still a bitter taste in this salt, which cannot be compared to real snowflake salt at all! ”

Hearing this, Lu Youyi and Old Lady Chen were immediately disappointed.

White is happy!

The loss in Lu Dingtian's heart was even worse, and the sadness on his face became more and more obvious.

"No! Can't wait any longer! ”

Suddenly, Lu Dingtian said in a solemn voice, "Yi'er, you immediately go to Jincheng County in person and tell us who stay there that we must get the snowflake salt formula in the shortest possible time at all costs!" ”

"But......" Lu Youyi said in embarrassment, "Father, the snowflake salt formula is extremely secretive, Lu An will definitely hand it over to the most trusted person to be responsible, the child is afraid that it will be difficult to get it if he spends too much silver!" ”

"Huh!" Lu Dingtian sneered, "This is naturally understood by my father.

But even the most faithful people have weaknesses.

Lu An may give his people enough silver, but there is one thing, he must not have the ability to give it! ”

"What's that?" Lu Youyi asked subconsciously.

"Brother Lu is talking about She, right?" Old lady Chen on the side said with a smile.

"Brother Chen still knows my heart very well!" Lu Dingtian nodded, "Yi'er, tell our people, find out who is responsible for the production of snowflake salt in Baishi Mountain, and promise him directly!"

As long as he gives us the snowflake salt recipe, it doesn't matter how much silver he wants!

In addition, I promised him that in addition to the silver, the old man promised that he would find a satisfactory official position in the imperial court with the reputation of my Qinghe Lu clan! ”

"Uh......" Lu Youyi was stunned.

Take the official position of the imperial court and promise?

It's not that the Qinghe Lu clan doesn't have this ability, it's just that the current Great Xia court is already in danger, maybe it will be destroyed one day, even if it gets an official position, what's the use?

At the end of the day, it's no different from a blank check!

Of course, he didn't dare to say these words in person, so he nodded quickly, turned around and went back to make some points.

"Brother Lu, it seems that there shouldn't be much of a problem on your side, and the old man will also go back to make arrangements."

"Oh?" Lu Dingtian instantly realized, "The white sea sand over there in Danyang County is about to bottom?" ”

"Huh." Old Lady Chen nodded and said with a smile, "The old man has already arrived on such a day.

Before I arrived, some people had already come back to report that the number of glassware shipped from Danyang County to the outside in the past two days was getting smaller and smaller.

Moreover, the white sea sand there in Jingyue Xuan can last for about five days at most.

Lu An's little guy wanted to save face, and he still had no intention of bowing to the old man.

But it doesn't matter, if he doesn't come, the old man can go over and show him in person.

The old man doesn't believe that the old man will give up because of the lack of raw materials?

Young people are still too vigorous, and they would rather break the bank than lose face. ”

Lu Dingtian felt the same way, and said with a smile, "The old man is here to congratulate the old brother in advance, I hope the old brother will succeed!" ”

"Haha, thank you!"

A day later, Old Lady Chen openly appeared in Jingyue Xuan in Danyang County.

Lu An had just produced a batch of rubber saddles with Ah Da and others, and when he heard the report, he immediately laughed, "It seems that the news of the Plains Chen family is really well-informed."

Ah Da, you immediately find a few brothers to go to the Yangzhou area, and call all the people who used to transport Baihai sand for us, and say that our Jingyuexuan is about to buy a large number of them again, and if there are those who are willing to continue to cooperate with us, let them hurry up and sign up! ”

"Yes!"

After an explanation, Lu An took Lu Yuyan, Mu Lingfeng and others back to the main hall.

In the hall, Mrs. Chen was holding a tea bowl and tasting it leisurely, and when she saw Lu An appearing, she stood up with a smile.

"Hehe, Lu Gongzi is so interested, he is not idle on such a hot day?"

Lu An pursed his lips, sat down, and sighed, "Alas, Lu was born to work hard.

Presumably, Mrs. Chen should have heard that Lu recently started an ice-making business, and the business is quite acceptable.

However, when the stall is bigger, there will be more people to raise, and no matter how much money you make, there will always be a day when you will be stretched.

Therefore, Lu had to do it himself, and he had to work under the scorching sun.

Unlike Mrs. Chen, who has a big family and a big business, and the family's silver is also worried about spending a few lifetimes. ”

When it came to ice-making, Mrs. Chen took the opportunity to say, "Lu Gongzi's ice-making skills are indeed amazing.

If Lu Gongzi is willing, the old man can work with you.

Presumably Lu Gongzi also heard that our Chen family bought a lot of saltpeter mines in Baqu County at that time, and Lu Gongzi should be inseparable from saltpeter if he wants to make ice, right?

What do you think?

Are there any opportunities for us to work together? ”

Lu An shook his head, "I'm sorry, Lu is not interested." ”

Old Lady Chen was not angry when she heard this.

Although saltpeter ice making also has a certain profit, after all, it is a small road for him, which can be ignored, and the most important thing is glassware!

"So, Lu Gongzi's glassware business, I wonder if he is interested in cooperating with our Chen family?"

Lu An was stunned when he heard this.

Then he smiled.

It's time to come, it's still coming!
