Wearing a secret agent with many tricks, the cold and proud prince flirts easily

"Xi'er, you're on the street." Seeing that her lips were about to touch his own, Murong Hao was frightened by her bold behavior.

"Husband, we are legally married." After secretly kissing his lips, she hurriedly pulled her cheek away from the black gauze of his hat.

The boss selling curtain hats on the side smiled when he saw the two of them being intimate.

"What a sweet couple. Let's consider it a little easier for you." The boss said with a smile.

"Thank you boss, there's no need to look for it." Lin Yunxi threw down a small ingot of silver to the boss. After covering half of her face with a veil, she led Murong Hao out of the stall.

"You little naughty bitch." Murong Hao was extremely happy when he saw her holding his hand tightly. This woman really knows how to make people happy.

"Does your husband like naughty eggs?" Lin Yunxi turned around and looked at the eyes under the mask in his hat. Those obsidian eyes were filled with her shadow.

"I like it very much." Murong Haoxiao smiled and frowned under the mask.

"Let's go, let's eat skewers." Lin Yunxi saw people queuing up at a skewers stall. She pulled him forward. She rarely came out to play, but just wanted to enjoy the food.

"Aren't you going to eat at the Science and Technology Library? Just eat skewers?" Murong Hao asked.

"I ate some of the food just now, and some more kebabs are enough." Lin Yunxi held his hand and lined up behind the crowd.

She leaned forward to look at the menu painted on the stall. This restaurant had all kinds of grilled skewers, grilled fish, grilled silkworm chrysalis, grilled chicken wings, grilled mutton skewers, and even grilled scorpions.

"Ah! The food eaten by southerners is really mixed." Lin Yunxi said with emotion.

"Our roast lamb and chicken wings are almost enough." Murong Hao didn't dare let her eat those weird things.

"Okay, those bugs are a bit hard to eat." Lin Yunxi looked disgusted when he saw the guests in front of him eating all kinds of grilled bugs.

"This is the difference between the north and the south." Murong Hao said with a smile.

After waiting for a while, it was finally their turn, and the two of them just grilled mutton skewers and chicken wings.

After waiting for a while, their kebabs came out of the oven. Lin Yunxi took a bite and found that the kebabs in the south were still lighter than those in the north. She looked at the kebab boss with a smile.

"Boss, can you add some salt for me? My chicken wings are a little bland."

Barbecue must have a salty flavor to be delicious. With such bland chicken wings, it is better to eat plain chicken.

"Sir, we used to bake like this. The taste is just right. And salt is so expensive now. You can add salt, but you have to pay extra." The boss looked at his salt shaker and said with a smile. .

"Is salt expensive? It's been almost two years since the imperial court's sea salt came out, and your salt is still expensive?" Lin Yunxi asked with a frown.

"Girl, you don't know something. The sea salt from the imperial court only comes to our south a little bit every month. Where is the turn of the people in the south? I heard that it is the people in the north who have sea salt to eat. Isn't she a local?"

The boss looked Lin Yunxi up and down and saw that she was quite tall, and the man next to her was eight feet tall. He didn't look like a southerner at first glance. It seemed that these two people came from the north.

"Boss, are you serious about this? People here still can't eat sea salt?" Lin Yunxi looked at the boss in astonishment, and then looked at the salt jar on his stall. It was indeed filled with coarse salt.

"Girl, you are from the north. If you don't believe it, you can ask the people waiting in line. Salt in the south is very expensive nowadays. If you want to add salt, you have to pay extra. Otherwise, I won't be able to add salt to you." The boss said seriously. said.

"Okay, you can add some, and you can tell me how much it will cost." Lin Yunxi wanted to see how much he dared to charge for adding salt.

"Let's do this. If you buy 20 skewers, I'll add them all at once for one penny." The boss said.

Lin Yunxi's eyes widened. One penny could buy several skewers of meat, but adding salt cost a penny.

"Boss, are you sure you didn't trick anyone?" Lin Yunxi frowned.

People queuing up at the side started to yell when they saw Lin Yunxi was so annoyed.

"Madam, this is how we add salt in the south. Every penny is added once. The boss doesn't charge you more money. Hurry up, we are still queuing up." A fat uncle said impatiently from behind.

"Okay, add more." Lin Yunxi didn't miss the penny, so she handed the skewers in the paper bag to the boss.

The boss took out the salt shaker and carefully sprinkled a few grains of salt on it. Lin Yunxi could almost count how many grains he sprinkled.

Yes, just make do with it, eat it as plain chicken and plain mutton.

The two of them covered their faces and sat on the paved seats, raising their veils and biting the meat skewers.

"Husband, why is the salt here so expensive?" Lin Yunxi whispered.

"There's something fishy. Let's go and take a look later." Murong Hao, who was in the curtain hat, had a heavy look on his face.

It seems that in such a large country, private patrols must be carried out frequently, otherwise many problems will not be reported to his king.

After the two of them finished eating the not-unpalatable kebabs, Lin Yunxi took Murong Hao to find the salt shop in Lingyang City.

After asking several people, the two found the only salt shop in Lingyang City.

The couple stood at the door of the salt shop and looked at the customers coming and going in the salt shop. The business of the salt shop in Lingyang City was really good.

The two of them entered the shop, and the waiter immediately came forward.

"My dear guests, what salt do you need?"

"What kind of salt do you have?" Lin Yunxi entered an ancient salt shop for the first time. He didn't expect that there are so many categories of salt.

She looked around and saw that most of them were coarse salts. The coarse salts were divided into the darkest ones, the medium ones, the white ones, and of course the one that was particularly fine and white.

Lin Yunxi stepped forward, touched the white and thin salt and asked.

"What kind of salt is this? Why is it so much finer than the salt next to it?"

"Madam, this is sea salt from the north. It is the most expensive salt in our shop, and the price is also the highest." The waiter said with a smile.

"Oh? What's the price?" Lin Yunxi asked.

"Five taels of silver and one tael of sea salt." The waiter politely quoted.

"Fifty taels of silver?" Lin Yunxi asked again, fearing that she had heard wrongly.

"Yes, madam, if you think sea salt is expensive, you can choose this kind of well salt. Well salt is divided into one-tael, two-tael, three-tael and one-tael according to the color."

The waiter looked at the two of them. They were both wearing veils, but the clothes they wore were quite decent. It seemed that they were not the young master and his wife from a wealthy family. He still recommended them to get well salt, which was all salt and could be eaten.

Lin Yunxi was really speechless. The price of salt had almost caught up with the price of gold and silver. She really answered the saying, "One tael of salt, one tael of gold." No wonder she knew that many wars in history were fought for salt. .

She pulled Murong Hao out of the salt shop. She had questions to ask him.

"Husband, our sea salt is not that expensive, right? Why did I hear Tiansan say that people in the capital can easily buy salt now, and the price here is ridiculous."

Lin Yunxi only knows how to make sea salt. The specific pricing is a matter of the state. She doesn't know much about the price of sea salt. She doesn't usually go to the vegetable market. She really doesn't know what the price of the sea salt she made by herself is sold to the court?

"The price of sea salt set by the imperial court is 20 cents per sixteen taels (a modern pound). Unexpectedly, when we arrived in Lingyang City, the price of salt became astronomical." Murong Hao frowned in the mask.
