"Dad, I promise, I didn't fool around today. I just went out and saw someone selling East China Sea fine salt. I bought a pound and came back. I didn't go anywhere!"

Cui Sheng was afraid that I would be angry, so he quickly raised his hands to assure me.

My anger is related to his pocket money in the future, so I must coax him well!

However, Cui Jingtong dismissed it and poured himself another cup of tea. Smelling the fishy mutton oil smell, he sneered and said: "Huh! Anyone with slightly better quality dares to say that he is the salt of the East China Sea. In fact, where is it?"

Those who picked it up didn’t even know it!”

"No, dad, look, this time it's really fine salt. Otherwise, we have so much salt at home, why would I buy it?"

"Hmph! How much better can it be, no matter how good it is? Can it be as good as those in the palace of the ministers of the court? Oh...!"

"Dad, this salt is the best salt I have ever seen, please take a look first before you say anything else!"

Seeing that I didn't do anything, Cui Sheng opened the paper package with three strokes, five divided by two.

"Hmph! Then you have never seen the world. Wait until you enter the palace next time..."

Cui Jingtong wanted to say something else, but when Cui Sheng handed the paper bag under his eyes, he immediately shut his mouth.

A pair of mouse eyes stared straight at the gray salt.

After a while, he seemed unable to believe that it was salt, so he stretched out his hand, pinched a little, and put it into his mouth.

"This...is this really salt?"

His face was suddenly filled with surprise.

"Of course, Dad, a strong man with an unfamiliar face led a few people and pulled eight large carriages in the city. They were packed full of this salt, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms!"

Cui Sheng recounted the situation in detail.

"What? Tens of thousands of pounds of this salt?"

Cui Jingtong couldn't believe his ears.

Even the important officials in the court did not have such good salt in their homes, and they had never seen it before. How could someone sell it for tens of thousands of pounds at once?

"Yes, I really saw it!"

"How do you sell this salt?"

Cui Jingtong rolled his eyes and asked quickly.

"One tael of gold for one tael of refined salt!"

"One gold...?"

"Go quickly! Buy another hundred catties quickly! Hurry!"

After hearing the price, Cui Jingtong thought for a moment and immediately pushed his son out.

Such good salt is rare in the world and is as precious as jewelry. If this salt is given as a gift to the ministers of the DPRK and China, it will definitely bring closer relations.

The Cui family is a big brewer in the city, and the entire Xianyang city and even the palace drink their wine.

The reason why we can monopolize the entire brewing industry, in addition to superb craftsmanship, also depends on the care of all aspects of relations between North Korea and China, both of which are indispensable!

If you use this kind of salt to bribe officials, it will definitely be better than gold!

"What? One hundred pounds...?"

Cui Sheng thought I was crazy and quickly put the back of his hand on my forehead, "One hundred kilograms of Donghai refined salt costs one thousand gold. How long will it take for our family to make money back?"

"My hair is long but my knowledge is short. If I ask you to do it, do it quickly. If you don't want to let go of your child, you won't be able to trap the wolf, you know?"

Cui Jingtong took off his son's hand and kicked him, making Cui Sheng scream.

"Okay, okay, I understand dad!"

…

In addition to the Cui family, a major brewer in Xianyang City, many wealthy businessmen in the city bought some after hearing the news.

Xungui's family members were naturally not idle either, and they started cooking right away that night!

"Master, do you think today's food is particularly delicious?"

In Zhao Cheng's house, a beautiful concubine delicately took a bite of vegetables and fed it into his mouth.

"Well, it's really good. The color looks a lot brighter than usual!"

Feeling the pleasure brought by the tip of his tongue, Zhao Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Guess, what did I put in this?"

The beautiful concubine smiled coquettishly, looking slightly amused.

"What?"

"It's refined salt, a very fine kind. It doesn't have any impurities at all, and it doesn't have the bitter taste of coarse salt!"

"Nonsense, where is the kind of salt you are talking about in this world? Even the salt your Majesty eats contains impurities and bitterness!"

Zhao Cheng picked up a piece of roasted mutton with his chopsticks and shook his head with a smile.

"It's true. When I took people to the street to buy rouge today, I came across several large carts loaded with them. Each cart was snow-white and crystal clear! It's just that the price is a bit expensive. One tael costs one gold.

…!”

"I know that it is not easy for me to make money, so I only bought one pound and did not waste my hard-earned money!"

The beautiful concubine explained softly, and then she didn't forget to show off her charm.

"Haha, if there really is the kind of salt you mentioned, it would be worth ten golds, not to mention one!"

Until now, Zhao Cheng would not believe that there could be any salt on the market that was better than the salt in the palace.

The best things in the world are all in the palace. If there is nothing in the palace, then don’t expect anything from outside!

In the past, I could occasionally eat some fine salt as a reward from Yingzheng through my brother Zhao Gao, but now I can only eat the bitter coarse salt.

It’s just that the impurities are slightly less than what ordinary people eat!

"Ouch! Master, why don't you believe it? This salt is really good. Just wait, I'll get it for you!"

The little beautiful concubine stamped her feet anxiously and stood up to find some refined salt.

The salt was expensive, so she didn't put it in the kitchen when she bought it. Instead, she found a sandalwood box for gold jewelry and put it in it!

"Master, look!"

As the box opened, Zhao Cheng felt blinded.

It's already dark now, and the room is dark even with candlelight.

But when the sandalwood box was opened, the whole room seemed to light up!

"You...you said this is salt?"

Zhao Cheng crushed it with his hands and found that the grains were distinct and even the size was almost the same.

"Of course, I bought it myself, why should I know?"

The beautiful concubine rolled her eyes in feigned anger.

"Is there any salt left?"

"Yes! When I left, there were still six carts full!"

"I'll go out and buy some tomorrow. Such good salt is rare. If it's sold out by others, we won't be able to eat it in the future!"

After seeing the fine white salt, Zhao Cheng said immediately.

"okay!"

Naturally, the beautiful concubine happily agreed.

She is the best at spending money!

And she was ordered to spend money and was jealous of that damn bitch in the east!

…

This kind of thing also happened in the families of Li Xin and Feng Jie.

Zhao Cheng's official position was not high and his family was relatively weak. He spent a hundred gold to buy ten kilograms of snow-white refined salt and brought it home. The family was so happy that they offered it as if they had no treasure, burning three sticks of incense in the morning and evening.

Feng Jie and Li Xin were generals. They did not make any great military exploits, but they did a lot of small feats. They had a rich family and spent thousands of gold to buy a lot of refined salt.

As the prime minister, Li Si was afraid of bad influence, so he dispersed all the slaves, bought less for each one, and spent nearly a thousand gold!

When Ying Zheng was showing everyone the refined salt refined by Xiao Zhengtai, they were standing in the middle of the court and did not see it at all.

After the impeachment failed, Jingyan had been placed on Ying Zheng's Long Case, and none of them dared to touch it, thus missing this opportunity!

But even those who had seen refined salt bought a lot.

This is the best salt in Daqin now. Who wouldn’t want to buy some and keep it at home?
