Meanwhile.

Li Changfeng's words above the court quickly spread in the capital, causing a huge sensation, and people discussed the matter everywhere in the streets and alleys.

"Your Majesty has almost agreed to send your relatives to negotiate peace before, who would have thought that he would be persuaded by His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes?"

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies, it's really good to say, even I am enthusiastic when I hear it, let alone Your Majesty!"

"Yes, there are still discordants! No compensation! Don't cut the ground! Don't pay tribute! It's exciting to listen to, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is so backbone! ”

"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes can say such magnificent and fierce words, it is really admirable!"

"That's right, on the other hand, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince has always advocated sending his relatives to discuss peace, which is really spineless!"

"Didn't you hear the rumors? His Royal Highness the Sixth Emperor actually did this to take revenge on His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, because the object of the original send-off was Princess Mingzhu, the sister of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Brothers! ”

"The Six Princes' methods are really inferior!"

……

Soon, Li Changfeng knew about it, and he felt helpless.

He originally wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect to make the city stormy.

This incident dealt a big blow to the prestige of the sixth prince Li Ji, and when he knew about it, he was furious, but he was helpless, no matter how powerful he was, it was difficult to block this mouth.

Li Changfeng didn't care about these false names, and the next day he began to open a branch of Dude and Beer Barbecue City.

During this time, the business of Dude and Beer Barbecue City was too hot, and the six restaurants could not meet the needs of diners in the capital at all.

He wants to take advantage of the heat to make money, especially the seasonal business of beer barbecue, and he must hurry up, and the silver in his pocket is what he cares about the most.

Since the opening of Diandude and Beer Barbecue City, all the people in the entire capital who have tasted the food inside are all amazed, they have never eaten such delicious food.

Everyone was very curious about why the food made by Diandude and Beer Barbecue City was so delicious, and the owners of major restaurants whose business had plummeted were even more anxious like ants on a hot pot.

They send their best chefs to the city again and again to taste the food and study how to make these dishes, hoping that their own chefs can make a lot of money by making the same delicious food.

However, they did not spend much money, but the taste of the dishes made by copying them was 108,000 miles away, and no matter how they studied it, they could not grasp the essentials.

This makes the owners of major restaurants quite helpless.

Those diners ate their own home food after eating some of the food from Dode and Beer Grill City, and it tasted like chewing wax.

In order to make money, Li Changfeng's dishes are priced quite high, and he eats at Dude Beer Barbecue City every day, where can ordinary people afford to consume them?

Even those who are rich and noble have eaten for so many days, and it hurts a little, because generally there are quite a lot of people in this kind of family, and the cost of eating for everyone in the family is not small.

Therefore, these diners are also eager to know how Diandude and Beer Grill City make the dishes so delicious.

Li Changfeng felt that it was almost brewing, so he began to arrange the listing of refined salt, ready to make a lot of money.

This day is noon.

The largest point in Beijing, the main store, Dude, was crowded and packed, and ten stunning women in palace skirts each carried a tray and a delicate porcelain vase on top of it to the diners.

Such a scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at the porcelain vase, wondering what it contained.

At this moment, the applause of "pop" sounded.

I saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe with a smile on his face and a shrewd look in his eyes, and came to ten stunning women.

After attracting everyone's attention, the middle-aged man spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! The contemptible person is the shopkeeper of this restaurant, the cheap surname is Hu, you can call me the shopkeeper Hu, sorry to disturb your meal! ”

After speaking, Shopkeeper Hu bowed down and bowed to the diners around him.

A shrewd diner pointed to the porcelain vases on the trays of ten stunning women and asked, "Shopkeeper Hu, are you planning to sell these things?" What's inside? ”

Shopkeeper Hu arched his hand towards the diner and said, "Please take care of this distinguished guest a little more, the contemptible person can't say what is in it for the time being, and it has to be sold." ”

After a pause, Shopkeeper Hu looked around at the many diners, raised his voice a lot, and said with a smile: "Presumably all of you are very curious about the food we ordered from Dude and Beer Barbecue City, why is it so delicious?" ”

"I know that many of our peers are also studying our dishes, and have even studied some of our simple recipes, but the taste of them is very different!"

Speaking of this, some diners laughed and said, "Do you need to talk about this? It must be that you all have your own secret recipes, and those porcelain bottles can't be your secret recipes, right? Are you willing to sell? ”

Shopkeeper Hu laughed and said: "The secret recipe will naturally not be sold, this is the cost of our meal, but it is ......"

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Hu changed his words, his voice raised a lot, and he said loudly: "We have launched a thing in Diandude, which can greatly improve the taste of the dishes made by ordinary people, even if it can't reach the level of Diandude, it won't be too far behind!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the diners on the scene suddenly lit up, and several of the owners of other restaurants stood up excitedly.

"What?!"

"As long as I can get into you, I'm willing to buy it!"

"Don't talk nonsense, just say what it is and how much it is!"

Shopkeeper Hu smiled slightly, turned around and picked up the delicate small porcelain bottle from the tray served by the woman behind him, and showed it to many diners before slowly speaking.

"It's the contents of this porcelain bottle, Xiaogong salt, that is, refined salt! A bottle of one tael, sold for one hundred and sixty-eight taels! ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole point of Dude fell silent, and everyone was stunned.

This lasted for three breaths, and then instantly became noisy.

"One hundred and sixty-eight taels can only buy one or two salts? Why don't you go and grab it?! ”

"What are you kidding, isn't it just salt, it's so expensive, are you stupid for us?"

"It's just a loss of money, and making money is not such a way to make money, do you still have a conscience?"

"Just a handful of salt can make food delicious, when I don't understand anything?"

"One hundred and sixty-eight taels, do you know how much salt you can buy in the market? You can buy a few thousand pounds at will! ”

"It's too much, it's unreasonable!"

Faced with such a scene, the shopkeeper Hu looked indifferent, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and when everyone was tired of reprimanding and his voice gradually became smaller, he slowly spoke: "Everyone, the contemptible person can understand your feelings, don't say much, please taste the taste of Xiaogong salt in our store first." ”

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Hu came to the most vicious diner who had just been scolded, opened the bottle cork and poured a little on the diner's table.

"This distinguished guest, you taste it first."

"Humph! Taste it, I want to see what kind of salt it is, and you dare to sell it for such a high price! ”

The diner snorted coldly, picked up a pinch of refined salt, and was about to put it in his mouth, but stopped again, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"The color of this salt is so pure and flawless, like snow and frost, and the particles are even finer and uniform, I have never seen such salt!"

The salt used by the common people is coarse salt.

Not to mention the uneven size of the particles, most of the colors are dark yellow, gray, etc., such white as snow salt is very rare, and it may not be possible to pick out one or two in dozens of catties.

The mere appearance is enough to make people marvel.

What the diners said immediately aroused the interest of other diners, and they all gathered around to check it out, and they were all amazed after seeing it.

"What pure fine salt, I've never seen salt of this quality!"

"It's like white snow and frost, how is this made? It's incredible! ”

"Yes, I even have some doubts about whether this is salt or not, I have never seen such good salt since I traveled north and south in Daqian!"

After a burst of admiration, a group of people reached out and pinched a small pinch of refined salt and put it in their mouths, and tasted it.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up.

"What a pure taste!"

"It's not bitter at all!"

"Oh my God, this salt is so delicious!"

"No wonder the same dish is bitter and astringent in our chef's cooking, it turns out that it is because of the salt!"

"The food in Diandude and Beer Barbecue City is so delicious, it turns out that it's all because of this salt!"

In the private room on the second floor, Li Changfeng saw this scene, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Daqian has no salt-making skills at all.

Whether it is a salt pan or a salt well, the brine is beaten out and exposed to the sun to evaporate the water in it, and the crystals obtained are eaten as salt.

How did they know that this salt contains a large amount of sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride and other impurities, and the taste is not bitter.

Moreover, long-term consumption of such coarse salt is very harmful to the human body, which is also the reason why the life expectancy of the people of Daqianli is generally low.

In fact, the technology of refining refined salt is very simple, Li Changfeng learned it in his previous life when he was in school, and he can easily produce a large amount of refined salt with extremely high purity.

But for those who don't know chemistry at all, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

After a burst of amazement, everyone wanted to buy this refined salt, but the price made them feel unacceptable, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction.

"I don't have to say anything about the taste of this refined salt, but the price is too high!"

"Yes, one hundred and sixty-eight taels and one tael, who can afford this?"

"We can understand that you make money, after all, opening the door to do business is to make money, but the heart can't be so dark!"

"If it's a little more expensive than regular salt, we can accept it, but the price is outrageous!"

"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is famous, and he will definitely not be so shameless, it must be your own opinion, right?"

"If His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes know about this, it won't make you feel better!"

Shopkeeper Hu didn't panic at all, raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet.

When his voice was a little quieter, Shopkeeper Hu shouted loudly: "Distinguished guests, listen to the contemptible words, if it were not for the approval of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, how would I dare to sell Xiaogong salt at such a high price here?" ”

"This kind of high-purity and fine-grained refined salt needs to be processed through a total of 36 processes such as crushing, dissolving, filtration, and analysis, and the whole process takes 7749 days, and hundreds of people need to work together to produce.
