Liu Che was still a little resentful of the premature ending of the topic.

But don’t dare to push too hard.

After all, the person in front of me is the immortal from Penglai Immortal Island, not his minister.

If you make the immortal unhappy, you are making yourself unhappy.

"If this is the case, then I will make wine with my husband next time. Thank you sir for answering my questions!"

Liu Che hugged Tang Qi's fists, then picked up the fish soup in the bowl and drank it.

After just two sips, Liu Che couldn't help but frown and said: "This soup...why has it become a bit bland?"

Tang Qi heard this and took a sip of the fish soup in his bowl. He felt that the taste was exactly the same as before, and there was no change.

This made Tang Qi slightly confused.

But soon, Tang Qi figured it out.

"It's not that the soup is bland. It's because you drank too much and your tongue is a little numb, so you think the soup is bland. Just wait, I'll get you some salt. You can add it to the bowl and try again."

After Tang Qi finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the wooden house, went to the stove to get a salt shaker, and placed it in front of Liu Che.

"Now, you can add the salt yourself. Don't add too much, otherwise it will destroy the original flavor of the fish soup!"

Tang Qi warned and sat down again.

Liu Che looked at the crystals as fine as white sand inside the salt shaker, and was a little confused at the time.

"This...is this salt?"

Liu Che's tone was very puzzled.

Salt is an important material related to people's livelihood, so Liu Che also knew about it.

There are four types of salt in the Han Dynasty: well salt, pool salt, cliff salt and sea salt.

The manufacturing process is relatively simple.

Sea salt, in particular, is basically salt crystals formed by exposing seawater to the sun.

The small one is the size of a pebble, and the big one is the size of a fist.

Among the other three kinds of salt, the finest one also has impurities, mixed with some brown particles.

This kind of the finest salt takes a very long time to make and costs a lot of money. Basically only nobles and princes can afford it.

Ordinary civilians can only use coarse salt blocks.

But the jar of salt that Tang Qi brought was really too fine, with no impurities at all.

It is as fine as gravel and is completely snow-white.

Liu Che couldn't believe it was salt.

Tang Qi rolled his eyes and said calmly: "Wouldn't you know if it's salt or not by tasting it yourself?"

Without saying anything, Liu Che quickly dipped his finger in a little salt, put it to his mouth and licked it.

A little salty.

This is really salt.

Liu Che looked at Tang Qi with wide eyes and said, "Mr. Tang, where does this... this refined salt come from?"

Tang Qi curled his lips and said: "Where else can it come from? Of course I made it myself, there is nothing in this damn place!"

"Do it yourself?"

Liu Che's mouth began to tremble with excitement: "You alone...can make such refined salt? Could it be that this refined salt is easy to make?"

Tang Qi said speechlessly: "Of course it is easy to make. Expose the seawater to the sun, then filter the crystals with charcoal and other things to make salt.

Don’t tell me, even a random junior high school student can make salt. I find you are really weird, you don’t even know the most basic common sense!”

Liu Che was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Mr. Tang, the junior high school students you are talking about should be the nicknames of the immortals on Penglai Immortal Island, right?"

Tang Qi almost squirted.

Damn it, when can junior high school students become immortals?

This guy who plays Liu Che is really funny.

After trying to calm down his emotions, Tang Qi said: "Forget it, it's really easy to make this kind of sea salt anyway, but it's a bit difficult to make higher quality sea salt!"

"This is enough!"

After Liu Che finished speaking, he pushed the salt shaker in front of Wei Qing and continued: "Wei Qing, come and taste this refined salt!"

Wei Qing was looking at the salt shaker eagerly just now, but he couldn't snatch it from Liu Che's hand.

Now Liu Che took the initiative to push the salt shaker over, and Wei Qing immediately dipped it in some refined salt and tasted it.

Then Wei Qing also widened his eyes.

This salt not only tastes good, but also tastes a little less bitter than the daily salt consumed in the Han Dynasty.

This is definitely top quality refined salt.

"Mr. Tang, is this refined salt...really...really made by you alone?"

Wei Qing expressed some doubts about this.

He has actually seen the salt-making process, which usually involves several people working together.

It was unimaginable for Wei Qing to make salt by himself.

Tang Qi replied impatiently: "I have said that I am the only one on this desert island. If you can find a second person to help me make salt, I will kneel down for you immediately!"

In ancient times, kneeling down and worshiping was a great gift.

When Tang Qi said this, Wei Qing immediately believed most of it.

"Mr. Tang is really a great talent, and Wei is so impressed!"

Wei Qing saluted Tang Qi with his hands raised, his attitude was extremely sincere.

He was really impressed by Tang Qi's ability now.

Salt can be said to be a national strategic resource and is indispensable.

Without salt, the people and soldiers would have no strength and would suffer from various diseases.

The fall of the Qin Dynasty was actually related to the people's lack of salt.

Because the cost of salt production is too high, many people cannot afford salt at all.

If you can't even eat well, the people will definitely rebel.

But now the Han Dynasty does not have to worry about this problem.

The refined salt that can be made by one person will definitely ensure that the Han Dynasty will never be short of salt again.

At that time, the soldiers in the army will not lack strength when fighting.

People will not get sick due to lack of salt.

This is simply beneficial to the country and the people.

Wei Qing wished he could kneel down in front of Tang Qi and ask Tang Qi to teach him how to make salt.

But when he thought about it carefully, Wei Qing felt that he had thought too much.

Immortals are not stupid, they definitely know how important the method of making salt is, and they will definitely not teach it to others easily.

You still have to establish a good relationship with the immortal first, and then slowly make plans.

The first step to building a good relationship is to praise.

Tang Qi's praise of Wei Qing was very useful.

He squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "It's just making salt. What a great talent. I have many talents. You will find out gradually!"

Wei Qing nodded and said: "Sir, you are a man among the gods. He must have a lot of abilities. Wei will definitely learn more from you in the future."

Tang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said: "You can learn if you want, but my teaching level is average. How much you can learn depends on your own understanding."

Wei Qing was immediately overjoyed.

I didn't expect to get the opportunity to learn so easily.

"Please rest assured, sir, Wei will do his best to study!"

Wei Qing once again cupped his fists and saluted Tang Qi.

At this time, Liu Che said: "Mr. Tang, if you can teach Wei Qing the techniques of papermaking, rice cultivation and salt production, when you return to Chang'an, I will definitely make you a high official, and you will be free to choose from the three ministers and nine ministers!"

Sangong and Jiuqing were considered to be the most prestigious official positions in the Han Dynasty, and they were also the top officials in the Han Dynasty's official organization.

Logically speaking, this kind of position can only be achieved slowly through qualifications.
