Dressed as cannon fodder to raise cubs for the villain prince [Transmigration Book]

When Li Di and his party arrived at Yancheng Prison, it was nearly dusk, and the sky was full of clouds hanging in the sky, reflecting on the sea and the large salt fields, which was very spectacular and gorgeous.

Shen Chu lifted the curtain of the car, and couldn't help sighing, "It's so beautiful! And the salt fields here are quite neat."

Li Di said in a very proud tone: "That's not true, this is the largest salt field in Yunmeng." It looked like they were showing off their old Li's family.

When they arrived at the official office of the Yancheng Supervisor, a crowd rushed out to welcome them.The leader is Lai Rong, the supervisor of Yancheng, who is about forty years old, short and fat, like a bloated penguin, shaking from side to side when walking, and his head is full of oil. Seeing them laughing like old chrysanthemums, want to How flattering, how flattering.

Li Di and Shen Chu checked the account books of this place that night, and asked the relevant managers to come to question them. When it was almost midnight, they went to the arranged post to rest, and they only had a simple dinner.

When Shen Chu finished packing and went to the space to look for Zai Zai, he was already asleep.Take the little guy out, wash him, put him on the bed, turn off the lights after a tiring day, and get ready to sleep.

But there were many things in my heart, and I didn't fall asleep for a while, and I only heard the sound of knocking on the window casement for a while.

Shen Chu didn't think about him, he was definitely Li Di, so he shouldn't.

As a result, the man came in through the window by himself.Shen Chu got up helplessly, leaned against the head of the bed, raised his eyes and saw the frosty moonlight reflected on the back of the man, and said softly, "I don't know why Your Highness came to look for me so late?! I remember that Lai Zhijian is Arranged the best room for His Highness."

Li Di rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly, "Gu can't sleep, I wonder if Mrs. Shen can borrow an inch of Gu's bed, Gu promises that he is only here to sleep and will not do unnecessary things."

Shen Chu thought, the man's mouth is a deceiving ghost, but he pointed at the sleeping baby next to him, "Here, I already have a baby to warm the bed, the bed is too small, there is no extra space."

Li Di was not affected at all, and sat on the side of the bed, saying, "Gu has sent Wu Jia to investigate secretly, to see if there is any so-called secret account."

Shen Chu asked suspiciously, "Wu Jia?"

"It's the dark guard by Gu's side."

"Then there are Wu Yi, Wu Bing, and Wu Ding?"

Li Di asked doubtfully, "How do you know? There are ten people up to Wu Ren and Wu Gui. If someone dies during the mission or can no longer do the mission, someone else will make up for it later."

Shen smiled awkwardly, "I guessed randomly." In the original text, Li Di had a powerful hidden guard under his command, but they hardly showed up and never mentioned their names.But it's more of a code name than a name.

Li Di thoughtfully searched for a lot of matters related to patrolling salt to talk nonsense with Shen Chu, but he didn't mention anything serious and relevant. He obviously wanted to divert attention, but he was afraid that Shen Chu's interest would really be brought up, so he didn't say anything. He was very tired after driving for a day, and he didn't really want to talk about business, but just hooked on Shen Chu.

Sure enough, after a while, Shen Chu couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.Li Di didn't feel embarrassed at all, and lay down on the outside of the bed, wrapped her in his arms and fell asleep.

The next morning, Shen Chu was woken up by Zai Zai's laughter. He opened his eyes and saw the little guy rolling around on Li Di's chest.

His head was full of black lines, and he said speechlessly, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

The little guy looked at his father curiously, and then at Li Di curiously.

Li Di smiled and said, "It's not uncommon for friends to talk for too long at night while holding candles, and it's not uncommon for them to fall asleep at the end, so why should Xiao Chu make such a fuss?"

Shen Chu didn't mess around with him anymore.

After tidying up, the Zhijian Lai Rong led them to have breakfast, and then went to visit some of the biggest saltworks nearby.

Lai Rong explained to them, "Most of the salt is coarse salt that has been sun-dried in patches of salt pans, and this coarse salt can be eaten directly. The salt in our Jianghuai area is heavy and black. The salt in Yuezhou and Nanyue is light and white, weighing only six or seven taels per liter."

"The salt here is better than those in Yuezhou and Baiyue. It is not only delicious as a seasoning, but also good for health and fitness. It is a rare good."

Shen Chu pointed to the workshop on the other side and the people coming and going, "Is that the workshop for making fine salt?"

Lai Zhijian respectfully said, "Master Shen has good eyesight. Although we say that the dried salt can be eaten directly, many nobles still like to eat fine salt, and two or three out of ten of them will wash it again."

Shen Chu wanted to roll his eyes in his heart, this person was really used to flattering, he was very oily if he wanted to flatter him when it was obvious.

Li Di asked curiously, "What kind of washing method?"

Lai Zhijian answered more and more attentively, "This salt washing is complicated and complicated, and simple and simple. You only need to dig two holes, one shallow and one deep. The shallow hole is only about a foot long. The salt is spread on the mat, then poured with sea water, seeped into the shallow pit, and then the juice in the shallow pit is introduced into the deep pit, and finally put into the pan for frying. "

Li Di: "This decocted salt is fine salt?"

Lai Zhijian nodded like a bear.

Li Di: "What is the reason for this? It sounds quite miraculous."

Lai Rong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a flattering smile, "I don't know about it, it's just that the ancient method has always been like this, and we have always followed it."

Fu Nian said on the side, "I heard that Mr. Shen is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, surely Mr. Shen should know about it?" As he spoke, he looked at Shen Chu leisurely, with a hint of malice in his eyes that wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

With the system in hand, Shen Chu naturally couldn't trouble him with this kind of problem, and of course he didn't want Fu Nian to succeed.

He said, "Actually, in addition to table salt, there are other salty components in seawater. After washing with seawater, the concentration of various salty components in it will be higher, including table salt."

"When the seawater is rinsed and the salt is decocted, as the water temperature rises, the solubility of other salt components will be higher and will dissolve in the water, while the solubility of table salt is fixed, so it will crystallize first. At this time, the crystallized salt will have a higher purity. higher."

"Of course, the fine salt extracted by this method is not completely pure, and there are some other ingredients in it, which will affect the flavor to some extent."

Although this method is simple, it is practical, and it is really quite good to be able to do this.It cannot be required to use membrane dialysis and centrifugal oscillation methods to make salt like later generations.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Chu found that the eyes of the people around him had changed, and everyone was full of admiration.

A teacher in his fifties excitedly said, "Master Shen is worthy of being the number one scholar. He really is a Wenqu star descending from the sky, and he even knows such profound things."

"Like my old man who has refined salt all his life, day after day, he still doesn't understand the secrets of it. Sure enough, he is still a good scholar!"

Shen Chu touched his nose in embarrassment, and felt that it was not kind to show off his junior high school chemistry knowledge here, especially when he saw the adoring eyes of these people, he felt like he was covered in hair.I couldn't help but say a few more words, "Actually, if you wash it again with high-concentration salt water, the effect may be better."

The old man wondered, "Highly concentrated salt water?"

Shen Chu nodded, "It's fresh water with a lot of salt added."

Fu Nian was very quick-witted, and said immediately, "This is to make salt, but a lot of salt is used to purify it. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse?"

Shen Chu nodded, "Master Fu's words are very reasonable. I'm just talking about a method of purification. I just try it out. If it works, it will work. If it doesn't work, don't do it."

The old man suddenly realized, and laughed loudly, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Sure enough, after thinking about it for a while, he changed the world!" He laughed and ran away eagerly.

A young man with a simple and honest face said anxiously, "My master has such a temperament. After hearing the master's wonderful method, he wanted to try it immediately. I hope the adults will not blame him."

Lai Rong hated his teeth, but after all, he was a master craftsman in the salt field. If he was really blamed, he couldn't get rid of the responsibility, and said on the sidelines, "This foreman has such a temperament. Except for making salt, he has nothing in his eyes Others have other matters, and I hope His Highness will not blame you." As he said this, he did not forget to apply an eyedrop.

Li Di was still thinking about what Shen Chu said just now, his eyes were full of interest, and he felt that this person was always full of mystery and novelty, and would always bring him unexpected surprises. He is proud of the fact that he belongs to him, so he doesn't care about Foreman Yu and Foreman Zhang. Naturally, he doesn't take Foreman Yu's faux pas to heart.

The group went to look at the salt warehouse again, and saw the salt piled up like a mountain. Lai Zhijian said proudly, "We have thousands of warehouses like this, and they will be full before the harvest."

Shen Chu made a rough estimate in his heart, and asked deliberately, "This warehouse must be filled with nearly ten thousand stones, right?"

Lai Zhijian narrowed his eyes with a smile and said, "That's not it. It's simple and cheap to build this warehouse. You can just lay earth bricks on the ground, fill the gaps between the earth bricks with mud, and then cover it with a foot of thatch. It will last for 100 years. It won't break." When he opened his eyes again, he found that Fu Nian had been winking at him, but Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, and didn't feel that he said something wrong.

Fu Nian really wanted to stuff this dead fat man into the stove and remake it. He usually looks slippery and a thief, so why would he talk bald if he didn't pay attention, and sold himself out.There are thousands of warehouses, what can be filled during a good harvest, and what can be filled with nearly ten thousand stones? According to this statement, when the Yancheng Supervisor has a good harvest for a year, isn’t there tens of millions of rock salt in this warehouse? I’m afraid I’m not a fool right?He didn't know how to count at all, so he sold himself in the blink of an eye.

As if a stone had sunk in his heart, he could only make up for it, "This warehouse often still stores old salt from previous years, so I can prepare for it if the year is not good or some natural or man-made disaster occurs."

At any rate, Lai Rong did not dismantle the situation, and said seriously, "Master Fu is right, many of these warehouses store salt all year round, at least two or three out of ten."

Fu Nian wanted to stroke his forehead, so the more he talked, the more he sold.

Shen Chu and Li Di acted as if they didn't understand the message in Lai Rong's words, and praised, "It really deserves to be my No. [-] salt warehouse in Yunmeng! The world is full of wealth and prosperity. And Lai Zhijian manages it tightly and orderly. , after returning to Beijing, I will definitely report to the Holy Majesty, such a good achievement should be rewarded."

Lai Rong was in a trance when he heard it, as if he had foreseen the scene of his promotion and fortune, his face was smiling so much that his teeth could not be seen, the fat on his face was rippling, like a bear eating honey, so happy that he couldn't help it swing left and right.

Fu Nian looked puzzled, thinking that Shen Chu had already said such a thing, so he probably didn't find any loopholes.I still couldn't help spitting on Lai Rong several times, this pig teammate, he really is a fool besides flattering you with essential oils, and also dreaming of getting promoted and getting rich, I'm afraid one day disaster will come without knowing .
