Mohist Tang

“Zhangsun Chong”

In Mohist Residence, Mo Dun has a solemn face! I didn’t expect the two of them to join hands.

“If Huaiyu hadn’t stopped there! I must have smashed the broken shop!” Chumo said angrily.

Yuchi Baolin also raised his hand angrily and waved his fist.

“Zhangsun yin people are there, we can’t take advantage of it!” Qin Huaiyu shook the head. In their circle, Zhangsun Chong is the most insidious and has many methods. If they make a move, Certainly will be caught.

“Huaiyu did it right!” Mo Dun nodded and said, Qin Huaiyu knows how to advance and retreat among the three.

He has seen Zhangsun Chong’s methods. If he hadn’t been better at the last time, he might have been discredited.

“Should they let them bully us so much?” Yuchi Baolin said angrily, his temper was the most straightforward and he couldn’t stand it.

“Isn’t it just salt? What a big deal, without his Wang Family, wouldn’t I be able to eat salt!” Mo Dun said indifferently.

Qin Huaiyu shook the head said: “You dont know. Although I dont sell iron and salt in Great Tang, the salt administration in each place has strict restrictions. The fine salt and salt in other places has improved fundamentally. Come to Chang’an City.”

Salt tax has always been a big source of finances. Although there was no official salt and iron camp during the Zhenguan period, the Imperial Court was also impossible to let go of such huge wealth. The salt administrations are strictly divided to facilitate taxation.

Since Wang Zhe went out, he must have been able to get it right, so he felt confident.

“Since Wang Family doesn’t sell fine salt, and fine salt from other places can’t come in, we can’t make salt by ourselves!” Mo Dun said with a sneer.

“Make your own salt?”

The three Qin Huaiyu immediately looked towards Mo Dun with suspicious faces. Wouldn’t Mo Dun even know this?

Mo Dun slightly smiled, did not explain, but directly led the three to the back kitchen of Mohist Residence.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the back kitchen, Qin Huaiyu saw a few sacks of salt piled up at the door of the kitchen.

“Is this coarse salt?” Chumo leaned over and picked up a large grain of salt, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and suddenly stuck out his tongue bitterly.

“Not only coarse salt, but also coarse salt from Yuncheng!” Mo Dun said.

“Mo Dun, didn’t you want to grind these coarse salt as fine salt, right?” Chumo asked rhetorically, the taste of coarse salt was too bad, even he could tell it, let alone other people .

“Of course not?” Mo Dun said grimly.

“Then what’s going on?” Qin Huaiyu and the three asked in confusion.

“The biggest difference between coarse salt and fine salt is that there are many impurities. If we remove the impurities of coarse salt, we will get pure fine salt.” Mo Dun explained.

The three of them suddenly realized that Mo Dun was planning to make salt by himself.

“Master, three Young Masters!” Xu Jie came out of the kitchen and bowed in salute.

“How’s everything prepared?” Mo Dun asked.

“Reporting to Master, everything is ready!” Xu Jie said.

Qin Huaiyu and the three people followed Mo Dun into the back kitchen curiously, and found that the back kitchen was full of pots and pots. A large pot had already been set up and it was full of fire inside.

This time with the three free labors of Qin Huaiyu, Mo Dun did not use Mohist Village people at all, and the three of them always have an extraordinary interest in Mo Duns experiments, let Mo Dun drive them .

Under the command of Mo Dun, Yuchi Baolin grabbed the coarse salt bag and poured the large coarse salt directly into the water basin. It quickly melted and disappeared, and the clear water gradually became It became muddy.

“Continue to pour!” Mo Dun looked at the water tank, the salt was almost melted, and signaled Yuchi Baolin to continue pouring the coarse salt until the coarse salt no longer melted and the brine was saturated.

“If you want to make fine salt, filter out the sand first!” Mo Dun explained.

One of the most criticized parts of coarse salt is that it tastes bitter, and the other is that it has a lot of mud and sand. You can chew a grain of sand when you eat it, not to mention how sour it tastes.

Qin Huaiyu took out an empty basin and covered it with 50% linen cloth. Chumo and Yuchi Baolin jointly lifted the salt water basin and poured it on the linen cloth. The linen cloth absorbed the mud and the water penetrated into the empty basin. , Repeated this three times, finally got the clear salt water.

“Is this all right?” Qin Huaiyu said excitedly, only to find it too simple.

Mo Dun shook the head said: “Of course not, this is only the 1st Step, dont look at the salt water is clear. In fact, there are a lot of impurities melted in it.”

Coarse salt contains Other soluble substances, but the biggest problem with city salt contains too much magnesium, which seriously affects the taste. It just so happens that in the purification experiment, the easiest step is this step.

Mo Dun picked up a Limestone that was already prepared and put it in a basin of water. It was boiling immediately.

After a while, Limestone quickly turned into lime slurry. After the lime water became clear, Mo Dun carefully poured the upper lime water into the salt water.

The salt water became turbid again and clarified again soon afterwards, only leaving a thin layer of white sediment on the basin. The upper layer of salt water was poured out, and Mo Dun once again put a Spoon the soda noodles, the salt water becomes turbid again. After clarification, another layer of white sediment was left on the bottom of the basin.

Pour out the clarified salt water again, and Mo Dun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Due to the limited conditions, there is no sophisticated device. All this can only be estimated.

A basin of salt water was poured into the pot, and the raging fire burned. Soon, the salt water boiled, and a thin layer of salt crystals appeared on the surface of the water. The entire kitchen could ask for a strong salty taste. .

“This is all right?”

Qin Huaiyu and the three of them watched Mo Dun complete all this dumbfoundedly. Although they don’t understand Theory, they always feel unclear.

The rest is no longer necessary for Mo Dun to do it himself, and is directly handed over to Xu Jie.

Less than one hour, Xu Jie appeared in front of Mo Dun with a smile of joy.

“Master! Three Young Masters.” Xu Jie held up a pile of fine white salt and handed it to the four of them.

“It turned out to be fine salt!” Chumo pinched a little and put it in his mouth, and a salty taste immediately rushed to the taste buds, without the bitterness of coarse salt at all, and the taste was better.

“hahaha, now I see how Zhangsun Chong and Wang Zhe cut off our salt! This time, Fish Excellence has been saved!” Yuchi Baolin said excitedly, Wang Family of Taiyuan may be able to monopolize fine salt. But they are beyond the reach of coarse salt.

“No, this is better than Yuncheng fine salt!” Qin Huaiyu shook his head. He had seen Yuncheng fine salt with his own eyes, and it was far less white than the salt in front of him.

Mo Dun looked at the white salt grains infatuatedly. This is probably the purest salt in this World! Yuncheng fine salt is just bittern with good quality, not at all much technical content.

“This is a brand new salt, please name it by the Master!” Xu Jie excitedly said, salt has always been a huge profit, so pure salt is in short supply. It is conceivable that once this salt appears in Ch_ng’n What a sensation that will cause in the market.

In order to distinguish it from Yuncheng Fine Salt, Xu Jie immediately thought of a new name and set up another sign.

“Eastern Jin Dynasty Xie Taifu once used the sons and daughters of the Xue Ri Ji to do justice, and the public said:’What is the appearance of heavy snow!’ The brother said:’The difference in the sky can be simulated by spreading salt!’ Today, salt is better than snow! Let’s call it Xueyan!” Mo Dun thought for a while.

“Xueyan!”

“Okay! It’s called Xueyan!”

“Wang Zhe is dumbfounded this time! You want to cut off our salt. , As soon as the snow salt comes out, let me see how he cries!”

Qin Huaiyu three people raised their eyebrows and said, their grievances were swept away.

“How much is the cost of refining snow salt?” Mo Dun asked.

“Reporting to Master, the loss is less than 30%!” Xu Jie replied. Mo Dun uses processed coarse salt, which has a high salt content.

In other words, ten catties of coarse salt can be refined into at least eight catties of snow salt, plus lime water, alkali and artificial consumption, which is also a huge profit, and Mohist Village has added a daily income business.

“Write down all these steps and let Uncle Zhang continue to test the addition ratio of lime water and alkaline water, and strive to achieve the best, first refining enough snow salt for use.” Mo Dun instructed.

“Yes, Master!” Xu Jie excitedly said. Mo Dun asked him to participate in the refining of snow salt, apparently he has not regarded him as an outsider, which moved him deeply.

“The Fish Excellence building?” Qin Huaiyu asked.

“Temporarily closed, when Mohist Food Court opens, give them a surprise!” Mo Dun said with a sneer.

“hehehe!” The three Qin Huaiyu smiled sinisterly, and they looked forward to this situation.
