I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 83 We Can Be Considered Persons of Status!

Guo Yi walked along the barrage to the west bank, watching Zhu and the others disembark from the boat on the trestle bridge on the west bank.

"The mountains are high and the water is far away, why is your father willing to send you here?"

When Zhu He heard this, his fat face was full of wry smiles, and he complained: "My father said that next year I will be the year of the weak crown, so I have to practice a lot so that I can be reused."

"Reuse? What reuse!" Guo Yi was very curious.

"My father didn't tell me!"

Uh... well, when I didn't ask.

"Then what did you bring on the boat this time?" Guo Yi asked, while arranging for people to unload the boat.

"There are rice, noodles, meat, and clothes and bedding." Zhu He began to count with his fingers sincerely: "There is coal, and iron pots. By the way, there are these."

As he said that, he took out a kit from his bosom and handed it over: "My lord asked me to give it to you."

Guo Yi received a heavy kit, and opened it curiously.

There are two things in it, a silver token, and the inscription 'Chu Wangfu's Staff Yi'.The other is a seal belonging to him, a staff member of the Chu Palace.

Wow!

He is now considered a person of identity!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for becoming a staff member of the Chu Palace and stepping up to the rank of Qingyun! The task of the promotion level, the second phase of the task is completed!"

"Reward: "The Classic of Tea" and "The Technique of Roasting Tea"."

Tea was boiled in the Tang Dynasty.Add salt, onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and the like to it.

It is a dark cuisine that is so dark that it cannot be darker.

However, in the current Great Zhou Dynasty, it is popular to order tea.

That is to put the finely ground and sieved tea powder into a warmed tea bowl, then pour a small amount of hot water into it to make a paste, and then pour water.

Until the white soup flowers and tea foam cover the water surface, the more soup flowers, the better, and the whiter the better, and it is better to have a high degree of fusion between tea and water, and it is better not to touch the side of the bowl.

Kind of like a modern instant coffee, or instant milk tea…

As for fried tea, there is no such thing now.Perhaps, it is another way to make a lot of money.

Well!This dog system finally gave a good thing.These days, I almost vomit after drinking tea leaves.

However, you have to find a way to find a few tea trees first.

While he was thinking wildly, Zhu He shouted from a distance: "Guo Erlang, where do you put these things?"

Zhu He led the team here this time, and he really brought a lot of good things.There are a lot of rice noodles and meat.

It looks like the handwriting of a Taoist.He's lived here for a few days and knows what's missing.

In this poor country, everything is lacking except poverty.

Guo Yi led the way to the dilapidated house where he was temporarily staying.After Zhu He looked around, his face was full of disgust: "Tsk tsk tsk! Do you live here?"

"Bullshit! It's good to live in this poor country! Otherwise, I'll tell your father to let you live here for a while and practice yourself!"

"Don't, don't, don't! Erlang, no, brother! Dear brother! Can't I be wrong!"

When I was young, after unloading the rice, noodles and meat, I returned to the river to start unloading the carbon.

Guo Yi led the way to the east bank, and when Zhu He saw people filling the bamboo tubes with salt, he immediately ran over in surprise.

"Wow! Is this salt? So white? Is this the best snowflake salt?"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand impatiently, picked up a handful, and put it in his mouth.

What's wrong with this?
Guo Yi was speechless.

Zhu He tasted it carefully, and couldn't help nodding: "Yeah! That's the color, that's the taste! It's the top-quality snowflake salt!"

This guy is the son of the steward outside the Chu Palace, he must have seen Snow Flower Salt.

"Tsk tsk tsk! If this is placed in Tokyo City, it costs 150 renminbi a catty, and someone will definitely steal it!"

Hearing what he said so firmly, the men around him all looked proud.

Guo Yi laughed a little: "Well, these are boiled for the first time. As a test, there are not many. You can take them back first and let the prince have a look!"

Zhu He nodded solemnly and said: "Jiangling Mansion is now short of money, and the prince is very anxious every day. Now that salt has started to be produced here, the prince must be very happy."

Well, although that king of Chu has various shortcomings, it is undeniable that he is kind-hearted and loves the people like a son.

Guo Yi nodded secretly, and then sent people to build a stove again, trying to produce salt quickly in a short time.

When Zhu He came this time, he brought more than a dozen large iron pots, and he planned to use them all. Every iron pot had to be boiled day and night.

Guo Yi redistributed the manpower, three people in groups, one guard during the day, and the remaining two took turns to guard the night.

Strive to make people rest and the pot never rest.

And Zhu He only stayed for one night, and the next morning, he took those high-quality snowflake salts and set off facing the rising sun.

This time, Monk Deyuan also went back with the fleet.Gein, the salt field is slowly getting on the right track, and there is no shortage of him.

He also wants to be his wandering doctor, seeing doctors and getting medicines for those poor people.

In this way, only Guo Yi and Zhuzi are left here.

Not counting Sun Yanming, as the director of the saltworks, he must live here permanently.

And Guo Yi is now an aide of Chu Wangfu, and he is a person of status.Now that you have an identity, it comes with corresponding responsibilities and obligations.

He had to follow His Highness King Chu's orders and help Sun Yanming get the saltworks on the right track.

"Second young master, Master Deyuan has left too! When shall we go back?"

Guo Yi is measuring the water depth on the east bank and preparing to build a trestle bridge.

Zhu Zi whispered in his ear with a sad face: "It's been a long time since we've been out! I haven't been obedient for a long time!"

"We'll go back when the trestle bridge is repaired and the house is built." Guo Yi was a little impatient with this guy's nagging.

While speaking, he handed Zhuzi a long bamboo pole and asked him to plunge into the water to see how deep it was.

And he was holding a booklet next to him for records.

suddenly,

A young man of about the same age walked over the barrage.

Stopping not far away, he bowed his hands to Guo Yi and said: "Dare to ask, is Guo Yi Guo Erlang with one step?"

Guo Yi heard the sound and turned to look.The visitor was tall and thin, wearing a silky short gown with cross-collared waist, without a headscarf, but simply rolled up with a straw rope and tied behind his head.

Judging by its age, it is estimated that it has just reached the weak crown, and there is a circle of black fluff at the corner of the mouth.But looking at its appearance, it has never been seen.

"I am Guo Yi, may I ask who you are?" Guo Yi stood up straight and bowed his hands in return.

"Oh, Zhang Kuo, Zhang Xiangguang, is from Zhangjia Town. My father respected Guo Erlang when he heard the name, and wanted to see him. But because my father was ill, he couldn't get off the boat. Therefore, Xiang Guang specially came to invite him, But please Erlang condescend."

As he spoke, he pointed to the double-decker passenger boat on the river not far away.

Guo Yi frowned, do I know you, I want to go on board with you?
Who knows, are you a pirate ship?

And the young man named Zhang Xiangguang, seeing that he had no intention of leaving, was stunned, stood up straight, bowed to the ground with his hands clasped in salute.
