Chapter 41: I Have a Way
Zhang Han, who was still a little complacent, felt that he had sent a gift to Ran Fang's heart this time, but he didn't expect to be disgusted by Ran Fang with just one bite.
This beef is rare, even if he can't eat it once a year in this Shaofu!
Brought it to Ran Fang today, and he actually treated it like this!
It's just a violent thing!
Zhang Han was suddenly a little unhappy in his heart, and for a while, he even spoke in a tone that was a little more resentful.
"This beef is precious, it is a rare delicacy, what does Mr. mean by bitterness?"
Hearing this, Ran Fang didn't get angry, but just looked at the meat with some distress.
"The quality of salt is not good, and you have to put so much salt at once, are you robbing the salt dealers?"
When Zhang Han heard this, he wanted to open his mouth to refute, but before the words could be spoken, Ran Yi continued.
"However, after eating this corned beef today, I realized why the food in the house was always so unsatisfactory before."
This not only made Fusu a little embarrassed, but the rest of the people were also a little embarrassed!
After all, the food in Fusu Mansion can still be said to be unpalatable, so what is the food they eat called?
Zhang Han was still indignant about his beef, and his tone was also quite displeased: "Mr. said that this meat is bitter, because of the salt, but Mr. knows that there is no better salt than this in Xianyang City except in the palace!" ”
"Many of the people of my Great Qin can't even eat salt of this quality!"
"Childe's words, I don't know what to do."
"Ahem," Wang Juan coughed lightly, stopping what Zhang Han was about to say, "Mr. said it, you just listen." ”
But Zhang Han was obviously a little unconvinced, he snorted coldly, glanced at Ran Fang, and his mouth was full of resentment: "Hmph, what you say is not accurate, and you are not allowed to say it to others?" ”
"This salt is the most precious in this Great Qin, and in his mouth, it looks like something that can't be put on the table."
Wang Juan stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Han's sleeve, the expression on his face was a little worried, if Zhang Han's words offended Ran Fang, even His Majesty would not be able to spare him.
However, he felt that what Zhang Han said made sense, this salt was indeed expensive, and it was a bit too much for Ran Fang to say so.
"Sir is erudite and talented, and he will not deliberately belittle others, what you say is a bit excessive!"
"Besides, I believe that since Mr. said so, there must be something that can compare with this salt, otherwise Mr. would not have said these words with his heart."
The two of them were a mile away, and they instantly set up Ran Fang.
And Ran Fang naturally heard this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The two didn't say anything, just watched them quietly.
Seeing this, Wang Juan coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed, "Ahem, what about the son?" ”
Ran Fang chuckled, but it was rare that he didn't blame them, but explained slowly.
"This salt has a somewhat bitter taste, which means that it is because your salt extraction technology is not good, and the impurities in it are not carefully removed in the process of salt extraction, which causes this result."
"If we can improve the purification technology and improve the salt refining technology, this salt will be much better than it is now."
"When the time comes, I'm afraid this beef will be a lot more delicious."
"Humph!" A cold snort came from behind Zhang Han!
The words were full of disdain, obviously unconvinced Ran Fang's words!
Suddenly, the eyes of several people shifted to the person who spoke.
Fusu has always been on Ran Fang's side, and when he saw someone questioning Ran Fang like this, he was immediately dissatisfied, and scolded loudly: "Presumptuous! ”
"Who are you? Dare to interject, isn't it too long! ”
This man was not afraid at all, and there was even some unconvincing in his expression.
He stood up straight, and said in a very arrogant tone: "This son has such a big breath, do you know how much effort this official salt has put into?" ”
"In this Xianyang City, those who can make salt like this are the best!"
Seeing that Fusu asked himself a little angrily, Zhang Han quickly stood up and walked to the man's side.
Then I heard Zhang Han speak: "Everyone, this is Gu Siyuan, a salt merchant in Xianyang City, and a friend of mine. ”
"When I heard about it, I wanted to hear what the gentleman had to say, and I didn't mean anything else."
"And he has no malice, this method of refining salt, their family is ancestral, and it is the best, so they can't listen to some bad words, so it's a little reckless, I hope you will forgive me."
With Zhang Han's words, everyone can understand Gu Siyuan's words just now.
Several people nodded slightly, and they also admired this Gu Siyuan a little.
Ran Fang sneered and shook his head, as if he didn't agree with Gu Siyuan's words just now, and even had some disdain.
How could Gu Siyuan endure this, he took a step forward, and said in a very unkind tone: "Look at what Mr. means, is it because he looks down on our family's salt?" ”
"Is there a better way, sir?"
The mockery in that tone was not disguised at all.
Ran Fang was not angry at all, pushed the beef in the direction of Wang Xuan, and said softly: "I only know that behind closed doors, what good progress can I have?" ”
"You are not the only one in the world in terms of salt refining technology, even if they are not as good as you now, can you guarantee that no one will be able to surpass you in the future?"
"When the time comes, how long will your salt industry last?"
"It's ridiculous!"
Three questions in a row, I couldn't answer a single sentence asked by Gu Siyuan.
Now they dare to say that their salt is the best, but that is also what their family has studied for generations.
If they can study it, can't others study it?
Obviously not.
But he was still a little unconvinced in his heart, and he straightened his back, so that he seemed more reasonable.
Ran Fang raised his head, and his hand was casually placed on the table, but his gaze fell on Gu Siyuan's body.
Facing that look, Gu Siyuan was a little flustered, but at this time, he couldn't understand what Ran Fang meant.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, "If there is, what should you do?" ”
This tone, coupled with this gesture, is clearly provocative.
Gu Siyuan was suddenly unconvinced in his heart, and took another big step forward, and he was about to step on the table with one more step.
He didn't feel his excesses at all, and said loudly: "If you can find a better salt than mine, then my Gu family's salt industry will share half of you!" ”
