When talking about those people, Lao Peng just smiled honestly: "Maybe this is called a fool's blessing, right?"

When he walked to the gate of Zhao Peng's Jinyiwei's camp, the Jinyiwei at the door saw a stranger wearing a flying fish suit and a wingless black hat appear at the gate of the camp. He stopped him and asked for his name. He learned that he was Lao Peng. So a Jinyiwei went in and reported.

After a while, Chen Xinyuan walked out of the camp, gave Lao Peng a pair of wooden waist signs that had just been carved, and invited him into the camp.

Zhao Peng first invited Lao Peng to his central army tent and asked Chen Xinyuan to make tea next to him.

"Old Peng, after lunch, I will leave. You should do it here. You are a local and are more convenient to do things. Assist Tiedan to establish the Chaozhou Jinyiwei Hundred Household Office. If you can make contributions during this period, then the officers of Chaozhou Jinyiwei Hundred Household Office will be you in the future. If you can't, you can go back to Pengzhou to be your general flag." Zhao Peng encouraged him while asking Lao Peng for tea.

At noon, the food was ready. An Eight Immortals Table was set up in the Central Army tent. Several Jinyiwei walked into Zhao Peng's Central Army tent with plates of delicious food. Zhao Peng sat on the main seat in the middle, next to Wang Quan and Chen Xinyuan. Lao Peng, as a guest, sat opposite Zhao Peng. Lao Peng's son also came to the table. Liu Tiedan, who was preparing to go to Chaozhou Prefecture to establish the Jinyiwei Hundred Household Institute, sat down at Wang Quan's seat.

"Women can't serve the table. They take the food and find a place where no one is sitting there to eat!" Lao Peng shouted at his wife.

"Hahaha!" Zhao Peng smiled and stopped Lao Peng, "Old Peng, we don't have this rule. In Jiangnan, women can earn money like men, and a skilled female textile worker makes no less money than men! Since women can also support their families, why can't women go to the table? If you go to Chaozhou Prefecture to serve as a 100-household Jinyiwei in the future, your family will have to work hard on your family? Otherwise, are you relieved to go to Chaozhou Prefecture? By the way, we will definitely reform the salt industry in the future. At that time, we will set up a large-scale salt farm to make salt by the sun-drying method. By that time, your family can go to the salt farm to work and earn money."

After hearing what Zhao Peng said was reasonable, Lao Peng agreed to let his wife sit on the dining table, but he asked curiously: "Mr. Marquis, Bei Zhi also knows that it is possible to dry salt in the sun, but the salt in the sun is very difficult to swallow and cannot be sold at all. To be honest, even our salt-making military households themselves are unwilling to eat that coarse salt."

Zhao Peng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to turn sun salt into good salt. Of course, if you want to create snowflake fine salt that is comparable to well salt, you still need to filter it again and make it by boiling."

"Can sea salt be made into snowflake salt?" Old Peng was stunned. You should know that snowflake salt is white silver! If sea salt can be made into snowflake salt, it means that a large amount of silver can be sold directly. As for whether the thugs and local governments will come to cause trouble? As long as you have the skin of the Jinyiwei on your body, who dares to cause trouble?

The table was filled with delicious dishes, including steamed grouper, charcoal roast pork neck, braised pork, steamed sausage, sweet and sour pork ribs, roast goose and other dishes, all of which were Cantonese dishes.

The happiest thing is Lao Peng's five-year-old son. He has such a rich dish that he can't eat even during the Chinese New Year, but he eats so many good things here. The little guy has opened his stomach and eats all over his mouth until he can't eat it anymore. This is the first time in his life that the child has eaten such a hearty and delicious meal.

On the one hand, Zhao Peng invited the newly appointed Jinyiwei Pengzhou General Banner to celebrate him, and on the other hand, he was also preparing to say goodbye to Liu Tiedan. After using the meal, Zhao Peng would take the Jinyiwei to board the ship and set sail. Liu Tiedan had to bring ten Jinyiweis to stay in Chaozhou and build the Jinyiwei Hundred Houses here. The newly appointed local Lao Peng would naturally help.

During the meal, Zhao Peng handed over the method of purifying sea salt and sea salt to Liu Tiedan.

"In fact, it is very simple to make the sea salt prepared directly consumed. First, dig two pools, one of which is an evaporation pool, which also plays a filtering role. The evaporation pool is to build a pool on the beach, use the power of high tide to pour sea water into the pool, and then close the gate. While drying in the sun, it also uses the sand at the bottom to filter the sea water. After drying for several days, then pour saturated concentrated salt into the crystallization pool, and then drying to obtain coarse salt that can be eaten directly." Zhao Peng said while drawing a schematic diagram of the salt bath on the paper.

"So, how to turn coarse salt into fine salt?" Liu Tiedan asked.

Zhao Peng patiently explained to Liu Tiedan and Lao Peng: "To make fine salt, you must take limestone, crush the limestone and heat it to make quicklime, then add water to turn it into lime water; melt the coarse salt into the water, pour the lime water in, and after precipitation, pour out the concentrated salt water on it and filter it with gauze. Put the filtered concentrated salt water into the pot for heating. When heating, take a pipe to blow it into the concentrated salt water, heat it while blowing it, heat it to the saturated salt, filter it, and then pour it back into the pot for heating. In this way, you can get refined salt with a mass comparable to well salt, and absolutely no astringent taste."

"Why do you need to blow air when heating?" Liu Tiedan asked.

Zhao Peng said: "Actually, when we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale a waste gas called carbon dioxide. These are not clear to you. Although the waste gas we exhale is useless to us, these waste gas can react with impurities dissolved in lime water, so we filter out all the astringent things in the salt water."

"It sounds quite reasonable, but have you tried it yourself?" Lao Peng asked.

Zhao Peng shook his head: "I haven't tried it myself, I just heard from the Thai Europeans that they all use this method to make salt. I think there should be no problem."

Liu Tiedan said: "Old Peng, don't worry. Our Marquis is knowledgeable and talented. The method he said has never failed! When the weather clears in a few days, we can start to do it."

Zhao Peng nodded slightly: "Old Peng, but this method I taught you is the only skill I have, so you must not let others know about it casually! Otherwise, you will not be able to make money!"

Old Peng knelt on the ground and said, "The Marquis treats Hu Shi as a mountain as a kind of grace. Hu Shi will definitely not show the Marquis's methods to others! What's more, if you teach others the methods, Hu Shi Shi will not make money."

"Very good, I believe you! I will board the ship in a while. You will go to Chaozhou Prefecture early tomorrow morning and get the matter of establishing the Chaozhou Jinyiwei Hundred Household Office as soon as possible. When the Chaozhou Jinyiwei Hundred Household Office is built, then salt will be made. After all, such high-profit things can easily cause jealousy from others. If you make money, you have no strength. Then the money will only kill yourself!" Zhao Peng finally explained.

Zhao Peng was about to leave, and Yiyun, his parents and his younger brother hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"Daughter, stop crying! You followed the Marquis to Nanjing, but you have been blessed for several lifetimes! Although you are going to be a maid, how many people want to be a maid for the Marquis, but there is no one in the door? I can see that the Marquis is a kind and good official. If you follow him, you will definitely not suffer any loss. You must serve the Marquis and your wife!" Lao Peng explained.

When the departure time was up, Zhao Peng took the Jinyiwei and the little maid Yiyun to take a small boat moored by the river. The boat sailed into the middle of the river and people boarded the big boat.

The big ship set sail, Eyun stood on the boat, waved goodbye to her parents and brother on the shore.
