Chapter 148 Little Tribute Salt!
at the same time.

What Li Changfeng said in the court hall spread quickly in the capital, causing a huge commotion, and people discussed it everywhere in the streets and alleys.

"Before, His Majesty almost agreed to send his relatives to negotiate peace. Who would have thought that he would be persuaded by His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince?"

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. It's really good. Even my blood boils when I hear it, let alone Your Majesty!"

"Yes, there is still discord! No compensation! No cede land! No tribute! It sounds exciting, His Royal Highness Ninth Prince really has too much backbone!"

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince can say such strong and fierce words, it is really admirable!"

"That's right, on the other hand, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince has been advocating sending off relatives to negotiate a peace agreement. It's really spineless!"

"Didn't you hear the rumors? His Highness the Sixth Prince actually did this to take revenge on His Highness the Ninth Prince, because the person who was sent off at the beginning was His Highness the Ninth Prince's younger sister, Princess Mingzhu!"

"The Sixth Prince's method is really despicable!"

……

Soon, Li Changfeng found out about this and felt quite helpless.

He originally wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect to make a storm in the city.

This incident dealt a great blow to the reputation of the Sixth Prince Li Ji. When he knew about this incident, he was furious, but there was nothing he could do. No matter how powerful he was, it would be difficult for him to stop such talk.

Li Changfeng didn't care about these false names, and started to make arrangements for opening a branch in Dude and Beer and BBQ City the next day.

During this period of time, the business of Dude and Beer & Grill City is so booming that the six stores simply cannot meet the needs of diners in the capital.

He wants to take advantage of the heat to make money as soon as possible, especially for a business with a strong seasonality such as beer and barbecue.

Since the opening of Diandude and Beer and BBQ City, all the people in the capital who have tasted the delicious food inside have been amazed, they have never eaten such delicious food.

Everyone was very curious about why the delicacies made by Diandude and Beer and BBQ City were so delicious, and the owners of the major restaurants whose business was plummeting were even more anxious like ants on a hot pot.

They sent their best chefs to order Tudor again and again to taste the delicacies and study how to make these dishes, hoping that their chefs could also cook the same delicious food and make a fortune.

However, they spent a lot of money, but the taste of the dishes imitated is far worse, no matter how much they study, they can't figure it out.

This makes the bosses of the major restaurants quite helpless.

Those diners just couldn't get enough of their own home meals after a bit of Tudor and Beer & Grill Town food.

In order to make money, Li Changfeng's dishes are priced quite high, and he eats in Diandude Beer and BBQ City every day. How can ordinary people afford it?
Even those rich and powerful people feel a little bit pain after eating for so many days, because usually there are quite a lot of people in this kind of family, and it costs a lot for the whole family to eat, so you can't just let a few people follow them eat it?

Therefore, these diners are also eager to know how Dian Tu De and Beer BBQ City make such delicious dishes.

Li Changfeng felt that the brewing was almost done, so he began to arrange the listing of refined salt, preparing to make a fortune.

It's noon this day.

The largest Diandude main store in the capital was packed with people, and there were no empty seats. Ten stunning women in palace skirts each carried a tray with an exquisite porcelain vase and came among the diners.

Such a scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at the porcelain vase, wondering what was in it.

At this moment, the clapping of "Papa" sounded.

I saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes smiling all over his face and shrewd in his eyes, coming in front of ten stunning women.

After attracting everyone's attention, the middle-aged man opened his mouth.

"Everyone! Everyone! I am the shopkeeper of this restaurant. My humble surname is Hu. You can call me shopkeeper Hu. I am sorry for disturbing your meal!"

After finishing speaking, shopkeeper Hu bowed to the diners around him.

A shrewd diner pointed to the porcelain vases on the tray of ten stunning women and asked, "Shopkeeper Hu, are you planning to sell these things? What exactly is in them?"

Shopkeeper Hu cupped his hands at the diner and said, "I would like to ask this distinguished guest to be more considerate. I can't say what's in it yet, so I have to keep it a secret."

After a pause, shopkeeper Hu looked around the crowd of diners, raised his voice a lot, and said with a smile, "Presumably, all the distinguished guests are very curious about why the food from Dude and Beer and BBQ City is so delicious, right?"

"I know that many colleagues are also studying our dishes, and have even studied some of our simple dishes, but the taste is very different!"

Speaking of this, some diners laughed and said, "Needless to say? It must be that you have your own secret recipes. Those porcelain bottles are filled with your secret recipes, right? Are you willing to sell them?"

Shopkeeper Hu laughed and said, "Of course the secret recipe won't be sold, it's the cost of our food, but..."

Speaking of this, shopkeeper Hu changed the subject, his voice raised a lot, and he said loudly: "We have launched something that can greatly improve the taste of dishes made by ordinary people. It would be too far away!"

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of the diners at the scene lit up, and among them, several owners of other restaurants stood up excitedly.

"what?!"

"As long as I can do what you said, I'm willing to buy it!"

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what it is and how much it costs!"

Shopkeeper Hu smiled slightly, turned around and picked up the exquisite small porcelain bottle from the tray carried by the woman behind him, showed it to many diners before slowly opening his mouth.

"It's what's in this porcelain vase, small tribute salt, that is, refined salt! One tael per bottle, 160 taels!"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole Dian Dude became quiet, and everyone was stunned when the needle could be heard.

This situation lasted for three breaths, and then it became noisy in an instant.

"160 eight taels can only buy one tael of salt? Why don't you grab it?!"

"Are you kidding? Isn't it salt? It's so expensive. Do you think we are fools?"

"It's just that you lose money. Making money is not such a way of making money. Do you still have a conscience?"

"Just relying on a handful of salt, you can make food delicious. Do you think I don't understand anything?"

"160 Baliang, do you know how much salt you can buy in the market? You can buy a few thousand catties for anything!"

"It's too much, it's unreasonable!"

Faced with such a situation, shopkeeper Hu looked indifferent, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and when everyone was tired of reprimanding and their voices gradually became quieter, he slowly said: "Everyone, I can understand your feelings, so I don't want to say much. , please first taste the taste of our small tribute salt."

As he said that, shopkeeper Hu came to the front of the diners who scolded the most fiercely just now, uncorked the bottle and poured a little on the diners' tables.

"My dear guest, please taste it first."

"Hmph! Just taste it, I want to see what kind of salt it is, how dare you sell it at such a high price!"

The diner snorted coldly, picked up a pinch of refined salt, and was about to put it into his mouth, but stopped again, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"The color of this salt is so pure and flawless, like snow and frost, and the particles are even smaller and even. I have never seen such salt!"

The salt used by the common people in Dagan is coarse salt.

Not to mention the uneven particle size, most of the colors are dark yellow, gray, etc. Such white as snow salt is very rare, and it may not be possible to pick out one or two out of dozens of catties.

The appearance alone is enough to make people amazing.

What the diners said immediately aroused the interest of other diners, and they gathered around to check it out. After reading it, they were all amazed.

"What pure fine salt, I have never seen salt of this quality!"

"It's like pure white snow and frost. How is this made? It's incredible!"

"Yeah, I even wonder if this is salt. I have traveled all over the world, but I have never seen such good salt!"

After a burst of admiration, a group of people stretched out their hands and squeezed a pinch of refined salt into their mouths, and began to taste it with their mouths smacking.

Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up.

“What a pure taste!”

"There is no bitterness at all!"

"My God, this salt is too delicious!"

"It's no wonder that the same dish our chef cooks has a bitter taste, so it's because of the salt!"

"The food in Dian Tu De and Beer BBQ City is so delicious, so it's all because of the salt!"

In the private room on the second floor, Li Changfeng saw this scene with a smile on his lips.

Dagan has no salt-making skills at all.

Whether it is a salt field or a salt well, the brine is beaten out and exposed to the sun to evaporate the water in it, and the crystals obtained are eaten as salt.

How did they know that this salt contains a lot of impurities such as sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, and magnesium chloride, so it's no wonder that the taste is not bitter.

Moreover, long-term consumption of this kind of coarse salt is very harmful to the human body, which is also the reason why the general life expectancy of the people in Daganli is low.

In fact, the technique of refining refined salt is very simple. Li Changfeng had learned it when he was in school in his previous life, and he could easily produce a large amount of refined salt with extremely high purity.

But for those who don't understand chemistry at all, it is difficult to reach the sky.

After a while of amazement, everyone wanted to buy this kind of refined salt, but the price made them feel unacceptable, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction.

"The taste of this refined salt is really good, but the price is too high!"

"Yeah, 160 eight taels, who can afford that?"

"We can understand that you make money. After all, the purpose of opening a door to do business is to make money, but you can't be so dark-hearted!"

"If it's a little more expensive than ordinary salt, we can accept it, but the price is too outrageous!"

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is famous far and wide, so he certainly wouldn't be so shameless. You must have made up your own mind, right?"

"If His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince knows about this, it will definitely not make you feel better!"

Shopkeeper Hu didn't panic at all, raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet.

When the voice became quieter, Shopkeeper Hu shouted loudly: "All honored guests, please listen to me, if there is no consent from His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, how dare I sell small tribute salt here at such a high price?"

"Such refined salt with high purity and fine particles needs to be processed through a total of 36 processes such as crushing, dissolving, filtering, and analyzing. The whole process takes 49 to [-] days, and hundreds of people need to work together to produce it. Think about the cost. Can it be lowered?"
