The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Not daring to leave the room too far, Bai Lu had no choice but to lower her voice and say, "Han Lu, what you said in the carriage today is a little too much."

When Han Lu saw Bai Lu looking for her, she knew it must be for this matter.He was indeed a little emotional today, but he also expressed his feelings.Because if the prince hadn't saved him back then, he would probably be a member of Chu Fengyuan now.

No, maybe he has been tortured to death.But what does all this have to do with the princess?It's really wrong to vent your emotions on the princess.

Han Lu was a little ashamed, "I did say something wrong. I will go and receive the punishment myself."

Bai Lu nodded, "It's good if you can think so. We are serving the princess together now, and I have to get in touch with the princess for a few days before you, so let me remind you a few words. Although the princess is a brother of everyone, she has a gentle and kind temper. For those of us The servants don't put on airs either. He is a rare and good master. So we just need to serve the princess well. As for the rest, I believe the prince has his own plans, so we don't need to worry about it."

Cold dew again and again should be.

At the same time, Xiao Jingyu, who was in the Zhenbei Army, also received a report from the shadow guard.He placed Tao Anran in the palace, which was actually convenient for surveillance.Although he said he believed in it, trust was not established all at once.So Xiao Jingyu still needs to slowly observe his princess.

It's just that Xiao Jingyu didn't expect that the concubine actually went to Huajie today, although she only took a few glances and then returned to the mansion with an ugly face.Thinking of the hot and romantic scenes in Huajie, his princess probably never leaves the gate in the capital. This time, he may be a little curious, but I hope the princess will not be frightened.

After all, in this northwestern Yunzhou, apart from the unbearable things on the surface, the life behind the scenes is even worse than the prosperity of the capital.

Xiao Jingyu thought again about the fact that the secret guard reported to the princess that Qu Zhishui was a genius doctor. Afterwards, he asked Han Lu and Bai Lu, and they were sure that no one had ever said that Qu Zhishui was a genius doctor.So where did he know it, and how much did he know?

The corner of Xiao Jingyu's mouth raised a subtle smile, thinking that his princess might not be simple.But it's more fun this way!

Tao Anran who was sleeping suddenly shivered, feeling a little cold, and quickly pulled up the quilt.

The next day, the weather was fine and crisp in autumn.Taking a breath of the cool morning breeze, Tao Anran became refreshed.After breakfast, Tao Anran was thinking about going horseback riding.

There is a school ground in the palace, where the guards of the palace practice martial arts on weekdays.Next to it is the stables. On weekdays, the slaves walk around the school grounds a few times when they come out for a walk.

Hearing that the princess was going to ride a horse, Steward Li hurriedly asked the slave to prepare the best and most docile horse in the stable.

So when Tao Anran came to the school grounds, he saw a little white horse getting ready.This little white horse has a docile temperament at first glance, and it is not at all as aggressive and domineering as it has seen before.Of course, the most important thing is that the height of this horse makes Tao Anran feel more secure.

Tao Anran immediately decided that this little white horse would be his car.Since he is all white, let's call him Baiyun.

With the help of others, Tao Anran quickly got on the white horse, walked slowly around the school grounds a few times, and successfully experienced the feeling of a prince charming.When the sun came down, Tao Anran felt that she must be more handsome.Of course, if you ignore the servants leading the horses in front, the picture may look better.

For the next few days, Tao Anran learned how to ride a horse peacefully in the mansion.Although there is no hands-on teaching like Xiao Jingyu did back then.But the master who raises horses in the mansion is afraid of getting into trouble, so he obviously teaches more carefully.

So Tao Anran now basically understands all the skills, but still needs a lot of practice.Of course, it is no problem for a person to ride a horse and trot slowly now.For this, the price Tao Anran paid was that the skin on both sides of her thighs was roughened.

After running around the school grounds in the mansion several times, the school grounds were no longer enough for Tao Anran to perform.Originally, the school grounds were not small and could accommodate a hundred people.But this place is suitable for just learning to ride a horse, not suitable for letting the horse let go of its hooves and run freely.

But now Tao Anran is considered to be a little successful in riding skills, and wants to continue to improve his riding skills.It is best to run in an open area for a while first, so that you and the horse can get more familiar with each other.These are the original words of the horse breeder in the mansion.

And Tao Anran has not gone out after this period of penance, and has long wanted to go out to get some air.

Tao Anran: "Han Lu, where is the best place to ride a horse around here?"

Han Lu, who was waiting on the side, quickly replied: "Princess, there is a grassland on the west side of the city, where there are usually a lot of sheep, and it is just suitable for horse racing."

Tao Anran's eyes lit up, the grass was flat, it was indeed the most suitable place for riding a horse.Moreover, when the horse is hungry, it can also eat grass directly, which is pure natural grass that has not been processed.And it can also understand the surrounding environment outside the city, which really kills three birds with one stone.

Tao Anran looked at the sky: "It's too late today, let's go ride a horse over there tomorrow. By the way, it's best to bring some food and drink, we'll go for an autumn outing."

Bai Lu Han Lu quickly wrote it down.

The next day, Tao Anran set off early.But it's not the three people he thought, but a group of people with a few guards.All the food and preparations were loaded in a carriage.This is a bit different from Tao Anran's planned autumn outing.

But when he arrived at the place, Tao Anran was really fragrant when he saw the vast grassland, set up tents, tables and chairs, and enjoyed the comfortable service.After exercising his muscles and bones, Tao Anran rode his horse and whip, and galloped happily on the lawn.

After riding happily for a few laps, feeling the oncoming breeze, Tao Anran's mood was broadened.When we got back to the tent, there was already a pot filled with water to heat up.Seeing Tao Anran come back, he quickly poured some hot water and moistened the towel to wipe his sweat.

While wiping his face, Tao Anran watched them busy putting vegetables into another pot, probably to make soup.But when Bai Lu put some coarse yellow crystals into the pot, he couldn't help being curious, "What is this?"

Bai Lu quickly said, "Princess, this is salt."

Salt?Shouldn't salt be white, fine grains?

Tao Anran walked in, grabbed a little salt with his hand, and twisted it with his fingertips, but it couldn't be broken.He licked it curiously again, and frowned suddenly, why is it a bit bitter?

Seeing that the princess was curious, Bai Lu knew that the princess was the elder brother of everyone, her fingers were not touched by spring water, and the meals were always prepared on weekdays, so she probably had never been in the kitchen and seen these things before.But seeing the princess frowned, he quickly asked: "What's wrong with the princess? But what's wrong?"

Tao Anran asked suspiciously: "This salt is a bit bitter, and it's such a big grain. Isn't there better salt?"

Han Lu went on to say, "Princess, the salt we use is already the best. This salt is only a little yellowish, and has almost no bitterness. The salt that ordinary people use is black and bitter."

Tao Anran didn't expect this to be the case, the salt was not bitter, and she couldn't detect it unless she tasted it alone.It is estimated that the taste of the dishes I ate before covered up the bitterness, so I haven't noticed it yet.

But now that he has discovered it, Tao Anran can't pretend he didn't see it.This coarse salt with a bitter taste must contain some other chemical substances. He couldn't bear it a bit, and eating too much was not good for his body.

Tao Anran brought the jar of salt in front of him, and while looking at the slightly yellow coarse salt, he asked, "Have you ever seen that kind of white and fine salt?"

The two were taken aback by this question, and looked at each other, not knowing what it meant.

In the end, Han Lu replied: "Princess, the salt used by our royal residence should be the best salt in Yunzhou. I have only seen salt with a darker color and never seen white and delicate salt."

Bai Lu added: "Even in the capital, there are not many such salts. As for the white and delicate salt that the princess mentioned, I have never seen it."

Tao Anran glanced at them and said with a smile, "Then I'll let you have a look today."

Tao Anran asked them to find a clean small pot again, put water in it, pour all the salt in their hands into it, and cook it slowly over low heat to dissolve it.Tao Anran kept stirring with a chopstick, while asking Bai Lu to prepare some fine gauze for filtering.

Although it was a whim in the wild, the things I brought were complete, so the clean fine gauze was quickly found.And Tao Anran looked at the salt water, and it was almost ready, so he covered another clean clay pot with several layers of gauze, and then poured salt water into it.Finally, as long as the water in the clay pot is boiled dry, natural crystals will appear, and that is salt.

Although it was just a simple crude salt refining technique for Tao Anran, it was a big deal for Bai Lu and Han Lu who were by his side.Especially when they tasted the newly made salt, it was white and fine without any bitterness.They knew it was a big deal that they couldn't even handle.

The price of salt is expensive, several times higher than the price of rice.People have to eat salt every day, otherwise they will get sick.In this case, people who have salt save salt.Poor people buy some lower-priced green salt and black salt, and rich people use slightly better coarse salt.But I have never seen anyone who can turn coarse salt into white and fine salt like snowflakes.

Bai Lu was excited, "Princess, this salt is like snowflakes, we have never seen such good salt!"

Han Lu also nodded repeatedly.

Tao Anran looked at the fine salt and was quite satisfied, "It's okay, but it's just filtering out the sundries in it. In this way, the amount of coarse salt is reduced and it becomes finer. If all the tools are complete, the rock salt mine over there can It can also be turned into fine salt."

Tao Anran saw small animals licking rocks on the hillside when he was riding a horse before. When he walked in, he found out that it was rock salt.However, rock salt is a little more troublesome to deal with.

Tao Anran didn't pay attention to Bai Lu and Han Lu who were shocked when they heard his words.He continued on his own: "Let's use fine salt in the future, and all the coarse salt in the house will be made into fine salt. Although the amount will be a little less, fine salt is healthier to eat."

Tao Anran didn't hear a reply after finishing speaking, he was a little puzzled, looked up, and saw Han Lu softly said: "Princess, is what you just said true?"

Tao Anran blinked and said with certainty: "Fine salt is healthier than coarse salt. We will eat fine salt from now on."

When Han Lu heard this, she came to her senses and hurriedly waved her hands. This was not what he wanted to ask.

Tao Anran was at a loss, did she not want to eat fine salt?Still can't eat fine salt?

It was Bai Lu who calmed down first. She steadied her body and asked, "Princess, that's not what Han Lu said. What he meant was that you said that you can turn rock salt mines into such fine salt. Is it true? Rock salt is poisonous."

Han Lu nodded fiercely beside her.
