Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"Although I mainly use this salt for other things, it's fine for you to taste it in advance."

Ma Zhou and Cheng Chumo both came up and looked at the salt in front of them curiously.

After seeing it for the first time, Ma Zhou suddenly noticed a difference: "Why is this salt so pure? Not even a trace of impurities?!"

Chapter 218 Shocked everyone!

Li You rolled his eyes and said nonsense. This is refined salt produced through a series of steps such as crushing, filtering, dissolving, and analysis. It is basically the standard for human consumption in modern times.

Besides, refining salt is the focus of chemistry class. Li Youneng, who has the ability to remember every step, can remember the time of any step to the second. If there are impurities in the salt extracted in this way, he might as well hit him to death.

"Shall I come first...?"

Cheng Chumo swallowed, picked up the small bowl, and dipped a little with one hand and licked it into his mouth.

"Oh!?"

In an instant, Cheng Chumo's pupils shrank!

This... what is this taste?

What a pure salty taste, without any excess!

Why is it so delicious? !

At this moment, Cheng Chumo felt that the salt he had eaten before was almost the same as rubbish. In his excitement, he let go of his hand subconsciously, and the small bowl fell to the ground with a "slap" and shattered.

"Worge! What have you done!"

Li You was taken aback, but just as he said the words, he heard a tragic cry from Cheng Chumo.

"Ahhhhhhh what have I done! Why am I so careless!?"

The pain level of this grief made Li You sweat a little, why does Cheng Chumo seem more distressed than himself?

"The cost of such delicious salt is unbelievably expensive! I actually made such a mistake on a whim. It is a crime that deserves death. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

Cheng Chumo half-kneeled in front of Li You with a face full of self-reproach, which made Li You feel a little embarrassed to punish him.

"Forget it," Li You sighed and said, "Actually, this refined salt is very cheap to make, and it is not troublesome to refine and familiarize with the steps. It's just a little heartache that this king's first successful work was wasted."

"……Eh?"

Cheng Chumo raised his head in surprise, not because he was surprised by Li You's magnanimity, but at the fact that such delicious salt was cheap to make and easy to make?

"Is it really as delicious as Momo said?"

Seeing this, Ma Zhou squatted down in confusion. Combined with what Li You just said, Ma Zhou really couldn't imagine how delicious this salt was.

After all, the reason why the current salt price is so expensive is not only because of the heavy salt tax in the imperial court, but also because the production of salt itself is troublesome and expensive.

Ma Zhou also knew the truth of cheap but not good products, so he couldn't help but doubt the quality of the refined salt.

Thinking of this, Ma Zhou took advantage of the situation to reach out and dip a little salt on the ground and put it in his mouth.

Although the salt had been sprinkled on the ground, the top layer had not been stained with dust and could barely enter.

"King Bin, what are you doing?" Li You was a little surprised when he saw this. "It's so dirty. If you want to taste it, I'll make it for you again..."

Before Li You finished speaking, he saw Ma Zhou's eyes suddenly widen, and he reached out and dipped a few mouthfuls of salt into his mouth like lightning!

Before Li You finished speaking, he saw Ma Zhou's eyes suddenly widen, and he reached out and dipped a few mouthfuls of salt into his mouth like lightning!

Although Ma Zhou's expression has been distorted by salt, it can't stop the excitement in his eyes!

Cheng Chumo didn't lie. His Royal Highness said that the simple refined salt was cheap to make, and it was really delicious!

"The taste of this salt...even green salt is completely incomparable!"

Ma Zhou muttered to himself in shock, he can't imagine how delicious the dishes made with this refined salt will be, and the messy tastes mixed in the dishes in the past will be completely history!

"what!?"

Cheng Chumo was also taken aback, what is green salt?Green salt can only be bought in a small amount for a few hundred pennies. Even rich people can only use green salt for brushing their teeth, but they cannot be luxurious enough to use the highest-grade salt for cooking!

Even Cheng Chumo only brushes his teeth with a little bit of green salt on a wicker stick every day, instead of swallowing it, so with his carefree personality, he has no impression of eating green salt at all.

Now that Ma Zhou said this, Cheng Chumo vaguely recalled that the taste of this refined salt in his mouth was indeed much better than that of green salt!

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the lower official has disturbed me."

At this moment, Zhu Cangyu, Yin Hao and Ma Hao came over together, looking at Li You and the others strangely, not knowing what Lord Prefect and the others were talking about.

It's just that as soon as the scene in front of them came into view, they were shocked. Why don't you drive the adults to squat on the ground and eat dirt? !

What is this operation?The scene was so bizarre that the three of them froze in place for a while.

"cough……"

In the end, Li You coughed and broke the deadlock.

"What are you three doing here? Could it be that those noble families have any new trends?"

Only then did Yin Hao come back to his senses and quickly said: "His Royal Highness, we are indeed here for this matter, but those noble families have nothing new to do, but are devastated by heavy losses, Your Highness is really clever!"
