When Zhao Chen came out of Tai Chi Hall and returned to the tavern, it was already noon.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu followed him and had dinner in the tavern at noon.

After dinner, the two wanted to say goodbye, but they were stopped by Zhao Chen.

The two of them were quite curious.

Normally, Zhao Chen would not leave them here.

Especially when nothing big happens.

"Take you a good thing!" Zhao Chen smiled slightly and waved to the two of them.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were full of curiosity.

Zhao Chen is so mysterious, he must have something amazing.

But what are the identities of the two? What kind of treasure have you never seen?

The two followed Zhao Chen, walked to the backyard of the tavern, and stopped under the big tree in the middle of the yard.

Under the big tree, there is a large wooden vat.

The wooden barrel was newly applied with oil, and it was shiny.

"Zhao Chen, are you just looking at the wooden barrel when you take us?" Cheng Chumo scratched his head strangely.

I secretly thought how boring Zhao Chen was that he would do such boring things.

Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything, walked directly to the wooden barrel, reached out and uncovered the lid of the wooden barrel.

What caught the two of them was a bucket of fine white salt.

"Salt! So much salt?" Cheng Chumo's face changed immediately, his eyes with a hint of fear.

The Tang Dynasty lacked salt, and the salt needed for ordinary people's lives could not satisfy them at all.

In response to this situation, the official service stipulates that each household is only allowed to purchase salt that ensures basic living needs.

You can buy more restaurants and the like.

But it will definitely not be as many as they see.

There are definitely fifty or sixty kilograms of salt in this wooden barrel.

Both of them knew that this salt was definitely not from the government, so the ones they bought were private salt.

In the Tang Dynasty, private salt trading was prohibited.

It can only be purchased from a limited number of merchants, but the quantity is also strictly controlled.

If you buy and sell private salt, if you are caught, both the buyer and the seller will punish you the most severely.

Zhao Chen bought so much private salt, if news spreads, even the emperor will not be able to protect him!

Qin Huaiyu swallowed with difficulty.

He had never expected that the good things Zhao Chen wanted to bring him to see were so much salt.

These salts are not treasures, they are clearly talismans that urge to kill their lives.

"Zhao Chen, where did you buy the private salt? Hurry up and throw it away, otherwise it would be a serious crime if someone discovered it!" Qin Huaiyu said worriedly.

"Don't you look at this salt first?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"What's so good about this? Isn't it just a private..." Qin Huaiyu said, while using his hands to grab the salt in the bucket.

I was about to spit out my mouth, but suddenly there was no sound.

Cheng Chumo was about to speak when he saw Qin Huaiyu suddenly licking the fine salt in his hand with his tongue.

Afterwards, Qin Huaiyu suddenly looked shocked again.

Cheng Chumo thought to himself whether Qin Huaiyu was stimulated.

"Xiao Qin, why are you..."

"Zhao Chen, where did you come from? This is definitely not where the private salt dealer bought it!" Qin Huaiyu didn't look at Cheng Chumo at all, and grabbed Zhao Chen's hand tightly, his face full of excitement.

"What's wrong with this salt? It's just that the color looks better!" Cheng Chumo muttered.

"This salt is better than the official salt we eat, not that those merchants can compare with." Qin Huaiyu said slowly.

"What?" Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment.

At first, he just thought that Zhao Chen had bought a lot of private salt, so he could hide the good news, that's it.

But who knows that Qin Huaiyu said that these salts are better than official salt.

They all know that the best salt on the market is official salt.

Where did this salt come from better than official salt?

"Zhao Chen, where did you come from? Could it be that there is private salt..."

"There is a salt mine next to the Wei River. Where did I dig it!" Zhao Chen explained with a smile.

"Fuck, there is a salt mine by the Weishui River. The people of Chang'an City know about it, but that is poisonous salt and cannot be eaten!"

"After eating that poisonous salt, I will die of diarrhea, not to mention that my whole body will turn purple after eating that thing."

"The salt in your bucket is better than official salt, where did it come from?" Qin Huaiyu was very excited and couldn't help it for a moment and swear to Zhao Chen.

Qin Huaiyu's eyes were a little red at this moment, and it seemed difficult to accept Zhao Chen's explanation just now.

Zhao Chen smiled, and was very impressed by the ancients' attempts.

It’s right to eat salt, but if you even eat all kinds of impurities such as nitrate, phosphorus and potassium in the salt mine, you’re just looking for death.

After taking the salt, you may be able to last longer, but if you take the phosphorus and potassium, your whole body will not turn purple.

After all, this thing is for plants.

Even Zhao Chen has only heard of people who supplement calcium and iron, and has never seen anyone who supplements phosphorus or potassium.

"Who asked you to eat the salt mine?" Zhao Chen turned his eyes to Qin Huaiyu, and then smiled and said: "The salt mine must go through a series of steps such as crushing, dissolving, filtration, and analysis. The salt that finally crystallized is what people eat."

"It's like some herbs, which were obviously poisonous before, but after processing, they became non-toxic and could even cure diseases. This is the same thing."

"The same is true for salt. Everything in the world is prepared for people. As long as the means are appropriate, everything in the world can be used by people."

"This salt is what I made in my spare time!"

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, Qin Huaiyu was still full of question marks.

Obviously, Zhao Chen said just now, he was basically playing the piano to the cow.

Even Qin Huaiyu is like this, let alone Cheng Chushu who is wandering outside the sky.

Cheng Chumo only heard Zhao Chen say that the salt was made by Zhao Chen himself.

"Zhao Chen, do you mean, do you know how to get the salt you can eat out of the poisonous salt?" Qin Huaiyu came to his senses and asked hurriedly.

"When I was in the autumn examination room, I told you that I would go to develop fine salt, have you forgotten?" Zhao Chen smiled and said to the two of them.

Of course, the two of them did not forget.

But at that time, Zhao Chen was fighting against the emperor, and they all thought it was Zhao Chen who was joking.

Who will take it seriously?

But now...

Qin Huaiyu's face was full of excitement.

I wanted to open my mouth, but I stopped.

My face turned red and I was so anxious that I rubbed my hands.

Pacing back and forth in front of Zhao Chen, as anxious as an old donkey pulling a mill.

Cheng Chumo was dizzy when he shook, and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Qin, can you stop? I'm dizzy when you shook it."

"Zhao Chen, do you know that if this salt-making method is spread, it will cause a storm within the territory of the Tang Dynasty?" Qin Huaiyu looked excited.

A slightly yellow crystal was taken out from his arms and handed it to Zhao Chen.

"This is the salt eaten by ordinary people, and there are many people who can't even eat such salt!" Qin Huaiyu put the yellow crystal in Zhao Chen's hand.

This was a small piece of salt he had flown from the salt shop yesterday. Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.

Zhao Chen dared not eat this salt.

This should be the most common salt block in the Tang Dynasty.

Although it is the most common, many people cannot afford it.

Even the tavern has never used such salt blocks.??
