Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 119 Salt Making
Li Chengtong came to the East Palace early in the morning, and she remembered what Li Fu told her about teaching her how to make refined salt today.

"The miscellaneous family has seen the princess!" Cao Shaoqin was guarding the gatehouse, and when he saw Li Chengtong, he saluted politely.

"Eunuch Cao, I'm here to find the prince's elder brother. He said that today he will teach me how to make salt!" Li Chengtong was also quite polite.

Cao Shaoqin smiled slightly, "I'm afraid the princess came early, and His Royal Highness is still asleep. If you are not in a hurry, just wait for him for a while, and the miscellaneous family will make tea for you."

"Ah? Brother Prince isn't awake yet, it's already under the sun!" Li Chengtong was surprised for a while, but he obediently listened to Cao Shaoqin and waited in the main hall.

Cao Shaoqin brought Li Chengtong fragrant tea and a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions". Li Chengtong flipped through a few pages and quickly immersed himself in it. He didn't notice until Li Fu got the news and came to him.

"Is it so good-looking?" Li Fu looked at his cousin, found it interesting, and couldn't help but tease her.

Li Chengtong suddenly realized that Li Fu was right in front of him, and quickly got up to salute, "Brother Prince, when did you wake up? This book is so beautiful, I'm fascinated by it!"

"It looks good, isn't it? Then take it back and take a look at it slowly, I'll count it as a gift for you!" Unexpectedly, another voice appeared in the hall.

Only then did Li Chengtong realize that there were two other people standing in the hall, and when she saw the face of one of them clearly, she was overjoyed instantly: "Si, why are you here?"

Princess Jinyang and eldest grandson Pingting stepped forward with smiles. After Li Mingda introduced Li Chengtong to eldest grandson Pingting, everyone sat down.

At this time, Shen Wansan came in with a few guards, and the guard in front was holding very high-purity salt ore stones.

It turned out that after Li Fu agreed to Li Chengtong yesterday, he asked Shen Wansan to take his warrant and go to the salt mine outside the city to pick up some salt ore, and prepare to make salt today.

"Ah Fu, what are you doing? These stones are..." Li Mingda and Changsun Pingting didn't know what happened yesterday, so they looked at Li Fu curiously.

Li Fu smiled and looked at Li Chengtong, "This question, Tong'er, should you answer Princess Jinyang?"

"Ah?" Li Chengtong looked at the salt ore in the guard's hand, and suddenly realized, "Brother Prince, do you mean to use these salt ore to make refined salt today?"

"Use these stones to make refined salt, isn't it!" Li Mingda stared wide-eyed, with a look of disbelief, "These stones can be made into refined salt, who will do it, Ah Fu?"

"His Royal Highness also knows how to purify salt mines into refined salt, why haven't I heard of it before?" Elder Sun Pingting was also curious.

"Brother Prince will." Without waiting for Li Fu to explain himself, Li Chengtong has already explained for Li Fu: "The refined salt made by Brother Prince is as white as snow, and has extremely high purity without any toxicity. It is better than the refined salt in the palace. It's going to be several times more!"

Hearing Li Chengtong's words, Li Mingda and Changsun Pingting looked at Li Fu suspiciously. Li Fu didn't explain much, and asked Cao Shaoqin to take out the salt-making tools he had prepared a long time ago.

Seeing how easily Li Fu crushed the salt ore with the weird tool in his hand, Li Mingda and Changsun Pingting were instantly taken aback.

When all the salt ore was crushed into powder, Li Fu smiled slightly at the three girls in front of him and said, "The moment to witness the miracle has begun, don't blink, I will only demonstrate it once, I am not responsible if I miss it! "

The three girls immediately widened their eyes when they heard the words, but no one noticed that there were two sneaky heads outside the hall, poking their heads towards the hall.

"Old Cheng, what did you see? From my side, I can only see a few people in the hall."

"What a fart, don't you always brag that you can see far? Why are you so timid today? I can only look at people!"

Lying on top of the pavilion directly opposite the inner hall of the East Palace, there are two idiots, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde.

They came to the East Palace again, but they were afraid of being thrown out by Cao Shaoqin, so they sneaked in over the wall, and then saw the opportunity, found a ladder, and climbed up to the pavilion in front of them, from which they could overlook almost the entire Prince's Mansion.

They saw that Li Fu led Li Mingda and others to start making salt, and thought it was interesting, so they stayed where they were, staring wide-eyed at what Li Fu was doing.

Although they were far away, from a high position, they could still clearly see the movements of Li Fu's hands. Even what Li Fu was saying to the three women, they couldn't hear clearly.

Li Fu briefly explained the steps of making salt to the three girls, and then led them to start the operation step by step.

It was the first time for Changsun Pingting, Li Mingda and Li Chengtong to see such a novel tool, and they all heard it very seriously, especially when they saw a pile of ore powder, tinkering with Li Fu, turning into water in a while, and turning into water in a while. Powder, find it interesting.

But when Li Fu put the prepared salt in a bowl and brought it to them, the eyes of the three girls instantly shone brightly.

It was as white as frost, exactly the same as what Li Chengtong saw yesterday, and it was much higher than the fine salt on the market. The three little girls suddenly yelled.

"My God, that's how salt is made. It's amazing. It's amazing!"

"How can it be water for a while, and salt for a while? This is too powerful!"

"I have seen salt made in a salt workshop once. It is much more complicated than the method of the prince's brother, but the salt produced is only coarse salt, and the color is different, and it tastes astringent. It is the prince's brother who is amazing. You can make such a good salt at once!"

"To be honest, it's the first time I've seen such snow-white salt in this world!"

"Ah Fu, you are really amazing, no wonder Father made you the crown prince, you are simply too amazing!"

The three girls admired Li Fu deeply, but Li Fu looked disapproving and just looked at Li Chengtong.

"Tong'er, you said you wanted to make salt with me, did you remember all the steps I took just now?"

"Yeah!" Li Chengtong responded quickly, she was the one who listened most carefully just now, and she basically memorized Li Fu's steps.

The reason for asking this question is that Li Fu wants Li Chengtong to be his tool man, but he is determined to be the prince of Xianyu. How can he do everything by himself every day, so he must not be exhausted!
Today, there are so many functional units in Tiance Mansion, and Li Fu must assign these functional units to different people who can be assured of taking care of them. Li Chengtong is the one he believes can be in charge of the work of the Salt Manufacturing Division.

"Just remember it, let's go, I'll take you to meet the two fools!" Seeing Li Chengtong nodding, Li Fu handed the salt bowl to Li Chengtong, and then led everyone outside...
