"To Zhuangzi? The third uncle didn't tell you what was going on? ”

Li Kui put down the book in his hand, raised his eyelids and looked at Li Dalang, that's right, he was grounded by Zhou Yuan again. Zhou Yuan's method of grounding is very simple, add homework to Li Kui, and if it still doesn't work, add more.

So much so that the first thing Li Kui did when he woke up was to stare at Fang Liang and mumble with words, and once he started muttering, it would be more than half an hour.

This is also the best way to learn, and by memorizing yesterday's homework silently, you can deepen your understanding and consolidate the previous day's learning.

For the rest of the day, Li Kui took the book and did what he didn't like and was most helpless about, endorsing it.

This was contrary to the life he expected in the Great Song Dynasty, but under the threat of expulsion from the division by Zhou Yuan, he had to go on hard.

Li Kui sat up from the couch, stretched his waist, and his body crackled with a burst of popping beans, and Li Dalang's scalp was numb and he hid back in fear. He also thought that he had angered Li Kui again, so he was very careful. Li Kui was quite helpless about his brother, and sighed: "Forget it, you go back first, tell the third uncle and then I'll arrive." ”

"Hurry up, the third uncle is waiting."

Since so many things have happened in Linyi, Li Dalang seems to be a little out of the woods, and he reacts when he sees that no one can raise his head and wants to escape. Li Kui was also quite helpless about his brother, he also knew that Da Lang had a thorn in his heart, and he couldn't pull out this thorn, and the person who could pull out this thorn was undoubtedly Fat Chun.

But Fat Chun will sacrifice himself to save Li Dalang when he dies.

Besides, Li Dalang's recovery period is very strong, or in a few days, he will be a good man again.

Li Kui knew that Zhuangzili should prepare to boil salt today, and the preliminary preparations had been completed. Han Dahu sent a thousand stones of sea salt, and instead of using the worst grade of sea salt, he used twenty-five wen a pound of sea salt. The sea salt of the Great Song Dynasty, one penny short, there is a grade, a very strange pricing mechanism. But it has to be said that the quality of salt has increased greatly with the price.

At least twenty-five pounds of sea salt, there is no sea sand mixed in it. Ordinary people also eat such sea salt.

In the early stage of salt brine filtration, precipitated with lime, filtered again, Zhuangzi stored a large amount of salt brine, several pools for storing salt brine have been filled, if you don't boil salt, there will be no place to store. Thinking of these, Li Kui was sure that the third uncle was to let him preside over the ceremony of boiling salt, in Huaxia, all walks of life pay attention to a justifiable name, which requires an identity of the ancestor to lead the apprentices and grandchildren to work hard.

The same is true for salt workers, and this group also has ancestors.

However, like other industries, Emperor Yan is the god of fire, and it takes a long time to boil salt. But in the Great Song Dynasty, the ancestor served by the salt workers was not Emperor Yan and his old man, but Shusha, Jiao Qi, Guan Zhong and others. In fact, there are many more, such as Chiyou, but he is a loser, unlucky in business, and was brutally replaced.

The ignition ceremony is important, it is a symbol of the opening of the workshop and a sign of good or bad business.

It is reasonable for the third uncle to attach importance to it.

Boiled salt, especially saturated brine, can be shipped quickly, even in less than an hour or two.

Li Kui raised his legs and went out and walked next door. After a few taps on the door, someone behind the door said, "Who! ”

"I've never seen such a timid spy as you, come out quickly, it's your uncle." Li Kui opened his mouth impatiently.

After a period of busyness, it was to remove the top door bolt, and to move the sundries behind the gate, the door opened a crack, and I could barely see a person, and a delicate face appeared in Li Kui's realization, because he had been practicing martial arts for many years, his figure was graceful, and his eyes were expressive, and he was alive and well off a female spy who people loved and hated.

That's right, the one who opened the door was the female son of the Imperial City Division, Sang Hongye.

Feeling that Liu Baosheng was not easy, Tong Guan left his subordinates to Liu Baosheng before leaving, and returned to Bianliang alone. This may be the golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell, but I have to say that Liu Baosheng ate this set, and his favorability towards Tong Guan has greatly increased. He is a military general who has experienced a big scene, but in Linyi City, he still feels the world's full malice towards him.

If Liu Baosheng had the same force as Li Kui, he didn't care how many people wanted to harm him, just fight back.

But Liu Baosheng is just a mediocre force value, a little old, and his body is degraded, and at the moment when his life is threatened, he feels helpless and hopeless. Only when Li Kui appeared, he felt hope and light. So without waiting for the end of the Yuan Festival, he left Linyi City with his family and lived in the courtyard next to Li Kui.

He finally understood that only by hugging his thighs and guarding Li Kui could he get a sense of happiness and security.

The mulberry red leaves are left more to protect the female dependents.

Li Kui is an upright person, and he always looks down on people who have despised and ridiculed him, so on the first day of meeting, he called the other party 'female spy'. In fact, Li Kui added the hat of a female spy to Sang Hongye, not to scold her, but to praise her beauty. It's a pity that this woman doesn't appreciate it. For those who have not experienced TV dramas, it is difficult to understand the true meaning of the word female spy. Li Kui correctly defined the term female spy as: a beautiful woman with a bewitching appearance and a vicious heart.

Sang Hongye didn't know why, she always felt that she was scolding her. The impression of Li Kui is even worse.

But she couldn't stop this black boy's mouth, anyway, Li Kui was not afraid of her, and he also called him his elder brother by Tong Guan to rank seniority, so Sang Hongye tragically became Li Kui's niece, a generation shorter.

Every time Li Kui saw Sang Hongye being angry by her, he couldn't help but be happy.

Dude is a determined straight man of steel, you think you can get preferential treatment if you look good? Dream!

"Is Uncle Liu at home?" Li Kui leaned against the door, and he didn't plan to enter the door.

Sang Hongye glanced at Li Kui, an uninvited guest, in disgust, and said coldly: "Here." ”

"What are you doing stupidly, please go!"

"You...... I've never seen anyone so cautious as you. Sang Hongye stomped his feet into the courtyard. Soon, Liu Baosheng came out with his son-in-law Han Dahu to greet him, Li Kui just passed a word, so he asked Liu Baosheng if he wanted to see the salt: "Uncle Liu, Zhuangzi is going to light a fire to boil salt today, can you go and see it?" ”

"It should be, it should be." Liu Baosheng hurriedly agreed, although he now lives next door to the Li family, he always feels that it is not safe, and wants to open up the yards of the two families, Li Kui did not agree, his mother is a widow, alas, how can it be possible to open the yard with outsiders? Isn't that gossiping?

As a result, Liu Baosheng could only hide from the door all day long, and maybe he was digging a hole in the ground at home?

The Imperial City Division dispatched to make him truly realize that his Liu family had entered the cruel harem struggle, and if he was not careful, he would die in a catastrophe.

I can't say sorry, but it's always right to be careful.

Hearing that Li Kui was going out of the city, Liu Baosheng didn't dare to delay, hurriedly prepared a car, and followed Li Kui to the outside of the city.

As soon as I entered Zhuangzi, I felt a solemn atmosphere.

Liu Baosheng's expression was solemn and quite a general's demeanor. But Li Kui looked at it and wanted to laugh.

The people of Baizhang Village are from the mountains!

Being a salt worker is not professional.

It's okay to worship the ancestors, but the process is quite similar to the process of worshipping the mountain gods in the village. The sacrifice was a pig's head, and there was nothing wrong with that. Master Zu chose Guan Zhong, and Li Kui also asked the third uncle if he had spoken? The third uncle said arrogantly: "Guan Ye will make money!" This reason is extremely powerful, and Li Kui also deeply agrees. When doing business, you have to choose a master who can make money.

Then the third uncle presided over the sacrificial ceremony, shook his head and chattered for a long time, before he opened his loose eyelids, his eyes were like electricity, and his momentum was like a rainbow and shouted: "Please tinder!" ”

The fire was placed in the fire pit, and after the fire was lit, the whole Zhuangzi was filled with a smoky smoke. Fortunately, the flames became more and more vigorous, and the air flow carried the smoke upwards, so that there was no pungent smell of smoke at the tip of the nose.

Boiling salt is a continuous job, after ten cauldrons are boiling, people keep carrying the brine to refill, and the billowing mist spreads with the fishy smell of salt.

Uncle Seven was sweating profusely with people, but fortunately, salt crystallized in the pot soon, and as there were more and more white crystals like sand, the salt was fished out of the pot with a shovel and drained into the basket of bamboo strips. Salt as white as snow appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Such salt alone does not sell for a high price.

Sang Hongye felt that Li Kui and the people of Baizhang Village were playing tricks and deceiving the coffin book of the old fool Liu Baosheng. Because the high grade of sea salt is this color. Maybe it's not as pure as the color made by Li Zhuang, but you can't really see much if you don't distinguish it carefully.

Li Kui pinched a small pinch and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully, and then spit it it out, closing his eyes and savoring it.

That's right, that's the smell.

There is no bitter smell of the sea, which is the original taste of salt.

The third uncle stared nervously at Li Kui's expression beside him, for Li Kui, this may be a way to make a fortune, and it doesn't work to continue to walk.

But for his old man, this is the foundation of Baizhang Village's development, and if he fails, he doesn't know how to face the clansmen.

The moment he came out of the mountain, his old man ordered all the houses in the village. Now if you want to go back to be a mountain person, there is no way out.

Fortunately, Li Kui nodded and said, "This taste is good, it should be almost the same." Seeing that Li Kui's eyebrows were scattered, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't dare to pack the ticket. For the poor people in the mountains, it doesn't matter what salt they eat, what matters is to be able to live. The third uncle never picks what he eats, he doesn't care if it's better or worse.

He couldn't figure out what a rich man should live with, so he could only look at Liu Baosheng and Han Dahu with a look for help.

"Brother Liu, do you try?"

Liu Baosheng and Han Dahu tried to taste a little, although the snowflake salt was not unfamiliar to them, but tasting this pure salty taste again made them feel more confident: "Okay, good, this salt will definitely sell well." ”

Mulberry red leaves do not believe in evil also twisted some on the tip of the tongue, very salty, the taste is originally the saltiness of salt...... Just when she wanted to debunk Li Kui's deceptive trick, she suddenly seemed to feel that the taste of this salt was a little different, and then her eyes widened in surprise, and she stared at Li Kui with great shock in her heart.

"How is it possible, salt has no bitter taste! My aunt must have eaten fake salt! ”
