Chapter 211 Is This Salt?

In just half a day, everything was ready.

Even the pot and shovel are ready.

At this time, Si Shan, the chief official in Shangshi Bureau, walked over in a small stroll and pointed at the pot.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem to be a tripod, how can you steam the dishes?"

Wu Zetian also asked, "Yes, this thing doesn't seem to be cooked."

In the Tang Dynasty, the cooking utensils were mainly tripods, and sometimes they were racked with grills and barbecue. However, this seemed to be the first time I saw this when I used a pot, so Sishen asked this question.

Li Chengqian said, "Don't worry about this. After I make it, I will definitely surprise you! As long as the food is delicious, what kind of utensils are it?"

Everyone was a little confused about this.

But he didn't dare to ask. Si Shan's eyes were puzzled and he was a little reluctant to believe it. He didn't believe that Li Chengqian could cook. He also cooked with a strange pot.

Wu Zetian asked: "What's this?"

She asked what everyone wanted to ask.

Li Chengqian is not angry with her

Instead, he said patiently: "This is a pot, and the dishes made are more delicious!"

"so……"

She responded without understanding.

"Okay, are all the seasonings ready?"

Li Chengqian asked this.

Si Shan hurriedly said, "It's ready."

He pointed to some seasonings on the stove and said.

All the spices that the Tang Dynasty can produce here and all the spices that the Western Regions have are also the best things we can bring out.

Of course, salt is indispensable.

"What's this?"

Li Chengqian said, pointing to a bowl full of impurities.

"Your Highness, this is salt!"

Sishen said with some satisfaction.

He thought that Li Chengqian did not know Yanba.

"Is this salt? I think these are small stones, right? The quality of this salt is so poor, how dare you take it out? How dare you say it is the best thing? Are you teasing me?"

Li Chengqian is really angry.

How could Sishen get something bad?

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is the best salt, it is the fine salt produced by Wang! It was shipped from Shandong, how could it be a bad salt? The small ones dare not give the worst ones!"

Sishen said so.

He was full of confusion. He was obviously a good thing, but Li Chengqian called it garbage.

No matter who it is, I always feel uncomfortable.

Li Chengqian picked up a salt and tasted it.

Spit it out in one mouthful.

"It's bitter, astringent and not delicious. What happened to the Wang family? How could it sell this kind of salt? It's really bold!"

Sishen is confused, isn’t salt all like this?

At that time, the purification capacity of salt was limited, which may be the best salt that people could make.

At the same time, he also learned something from Si Shan's mouth.

That is, the salt is not entirely an official business, and the Wang family actually participated in it.

Salt in ancient times was a very important link.

Salt is a necessity for daily life, and people cannot live without salt every day. Salt is also a resource product. Unlike grain, oil, vegetables, meat, etc., you can get it by working. Therefore, ancient salt is also strategic materials. Everyone has seen the shining red stars. The guerrillas also have salt. In ancient times, salt was sold exclusively by the state, and selling private salt was the crime of beheading. It is precisely because salt is so important that the country can easily earn taxes from salt merchants. Nowadays, taxes such as tobacco, alcohol, tea, etc. are relatively high, but they cannot be compared with salt in ancient times.

Although salt is small, it has a great effect and is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. If you allow private control of salt trading, it will easily cause adverse effects and is not conducive to social stability. If it is controlled by official authorities, it is easier to stabilize salt prices, stabilize the market, and stabilize the society! Salt is indispensable in life and everyone needs it. Not eating salt for a long time will lead to many diseases. Therefore, the tax base for taxing salt is particularly large, so the salt tax revenue is huge and is an extremely important part of the national fiscal revenue!

But now, it is controlled by the Wang family, which is not a good thing.

This is a problem that has been around forever. At the same time, Li Chengqian had a certain plan in his mind. Next, a big business will be waiting for him to do, that is, purify the salt and add it to refined salt! In this way, he will definitely make a lot of money. As for how to purify it, it is much simpler.

Li Chengqian was angry.

De Sishen was startled and quickly fell to the ground.

"This is indeed the best salt we can come up with!"

He didn't understand this.

Li Chengqian said, "I don't mean to blame you. Why are you kneeling down? Get up quickly, what's the matter!"

Si Shan then got up, his back was covered in sweat.

Li Chengqian's attitude just now made him feel scared, and fortunately Li Chengqian did not blame him. Otherwise he would have been done.

He finally got to the good position of Sishen. If he lost his official position, he would be a huge loss.

"Your Highness, the little girl has also cooked dishes, and this salt is indeed the case."

Wu Zetian said the same.

It seems that they have never seen fine salt.

"It is not good for people to eat too much of this salt. As far as I know, there are better existences."

But Sishen uses this kind of salt every day, and Li Shimin eats this kind of salt.

He was in charge of the food and food in the entire palace, and everyone's food came from him.

I was questioned and I couldn't help feeling unhappy, but what could he do if the other party was the prince?

Therefore, Si Shan was very clever and did not speak. When Li Chengqian finally admitted his mistake, that was the kingly way.

Only such a person can survive in this way.

In the eyes of others, they are full of confusion and are unwilling to believe what Li Chengqian said. After all, he is only less than ten years old. What does a child under ten years old know?

But how could they know that Li Chengqian’s current knowledge reserves are a hundred times that of theirs, or even more.

Everything he can accept is modern things, and the things he invents are all kinds of strange and very durable.

This is Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the future time traveler, and a powerful existence.

"What is that salt?"

Wu Zetian asked this.

So Li Chengqian had an idea.

"Since you don't know that there are more finer salts, I will show you one time to show you what fine salt is!"

And the dishes he cooks do not allow some bad items to appear.

ah!

Everyone present was shocked.

So what should Li Chengqian do?

No one knows.

Even the smart Wu Zetian doesn't know.

"What is the prince going to do?"

Wu Zetian continued to ask.

Li Chengqian smiled.

"Well, you will know in a while. I will make salt and will definitely surprise you!"

Li Chengqian said so.

How dare you say no?
