Three Kingdoms: A five-year-old bear child who saves Cao Cao at the beginning

Chapter 120 Demon Dao Zuo Ci, want to pretend to be with me?!!

Ancient salt production methods mainly include sea salt, well salt, lake salt and rock salt.

The main methods are drying or frying!

Because the process is backward, the output is low and the price is extremely expensive. In this era, it is very difficult to get high blood pressure and diabetes.

Ordinary people simply can’t afford too much salt!

So there is a word in ancient times called coarse tea and light rice! Why is it called light rice?

Just because there is no money, no salt!

Cao Cao now occupied Xuzhou, and Cao Liao could have the area where sea salt was made.

As for Jing Yan, there are only a few places that Cao Liao wants to occupy, and Cao Cao will not agree.

Therefore, what Cao Liao can make now is sea salt.

The reason why Cao Qiao suddenly had a whim to make refined salt was mainly because he recently got a book on salt making.

This book details the evolutionary history of salt production!

Although this era could not create equipment for manufacturing fine salt in large quantities in later generations!

But to produce refined salt that is far higher than this era, there is still no problem with the salt of this era, to be honest, if a descendant comes, he can’t eat it at all.

That’s called a bitterness, that’s called an astringency! You have no appetite left!

If a fat person came to ancient times, he could lose two hundred pounds in three months! If it weren’t for the refined salt that came out of the lottery, Cao Qiao would have starved to death!

After formulating a strategy to make salt, Cao Qiao went to find the blacksmith inside and began to build the equipment for making salt!

The reason why refined salt cannot be produced in this era is that equipment is also the key.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for Cao to improve the steelmaking method from the beginning.

Only when steel’s ability to exercise can you start to do many things

When he arrived at the steel mill, he found that several large iron pots had already been built here.

This was their biggest success during this time!

To build an iron pot, from the perspective of future generations, it is the most basic thing, without any technical content.

But in fact, in this era, that is a high-precision industry.

These blacksmiths went through a long period of fumbling before they finally mastered the technique of making iron pots.

Cao Qiao looked at these large iron pots and nodded.

Originally, he thought of promoting the iron pot and selling it for money first, but now it seems that it is better to use it to make salt first!

Iron pot salt is much stronger than things like using dings or kettles now.

However, he still has to keep a bite for cooking! The taste of stir-frying, he has not eaten for many years.

Although the grilled meat made with teppanyaki is good, it is still much worse than stir-fried.

Cao Liao found Huang Yueying again and asked her to participate in the development of the salt production method!

After all, the tools of this era are too limited, many of them have to be researched and manufactured by themselves, and Huang Yueying is amazingly talented in this regard!

With her, everything will be much easier.

Sure enough, when Cao Liao told Huang Yueying to make refined salt, and 953 said the process of making refined salt, Huang Yueying immediately discovered several key points.

For example, some tools that can be used in the process of repelling impurities! For example, the material used to cover during distillation!

There is no plastic film in this era, and Huang Yueying intends to replace it with silk! But the silk is too thin and breathable, and it must be improved, or covered with several more layers!

Cao Liao found that Huang Yueying was very talented in this regard, and she simply didn’t worry about it, and directly let her do it herself.

Snatching Huang Yueying back was the most correct choice.

And snatching Sun Shangxiang back is the most wrong decision! As for Dong Bai…

That’s what she had to follow! No way!

However, Dong Bai is now arrogant, and when Cao Qiao’s body really grows up, see if she dares to be arrogant!

Hum……

When the time comes, you will climb into my bed in the middle of the night!

After explaining the matter of building an iron pot and making refined salt, Cao Liao was just about to bring an iron pot back, stir-frying meat at night, and suddenly saw a worker hurriedly running over!

“Gongzi, it’s so good that you’re here!”

Seeing this, Cao Qiao raised his eyebrows and asked, “Is there something wrong?” ”

“Those workers who went to find sulfur and saltpeter are back!”

“They found a Taoist priest who refining pills in the Taoist temple!”

“It is said that they have that saltpeter and sulfur!”

……

The worker said.

“Oh?”

When Cao Liao heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, there will be eyebrows so soon!

Black powder, but something that he will dominate the world in the future! Extremely important!

If you get black powder early, you can advance the plan to dominate the world by several years

Although at the beginning, limited to the production and craftsmanship of steel, it was difficult to build artillery and flintlock guns on a large scale!

Moreover, he has no drawings now, and he cannot make them.

However, just black powder, as long as the amount is sufficient, can also play a huge role in changing the situation of the war!

If nothing else, throwing black powder with a trebuchet and attacking the city can cause great panic?

Or when attacking the city gate, directly pile up black powder at the city gate, which city gate can carry it?

So, Cao Qiao immediately followed the worker to meet the Taoist priest.

When Cao Qiao arrived, Cao Qiao found that a Daoist of Immortal Wind Dao Bone was standing there, looking like he was floating out of the dust.

Cao Qiao glanced at it, and couldn’t help but be stunned.

He came into the world and met many people, however, he had never seen someone of such temperament!

Cao Liao couldn’t help but be a little stunned for a while, could this person be a real immortal?

And, most importantly, this Taoist didn’t look very old, less than thirty years old.

“This is Cao Gongzi?”

When this young Daoist saw Cao Qiao, a smile was slightly outlined at the corner of his mouth.

“I am, I don’t know what the Taoist Chief is called?”

Cao Qiao asked.

“Zuo Ci!”

The young Taoist bowed slightly and said.

“Depend, you are Zuo Ci?”

Hearing this, Cao Qiao immediately exclaimed.

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, the ancestors of Nanhua, were also known as the three strongest Daoists in the Three Kingdoms era.

Yu Ji, the Taoist priest who killed Sun Ce, wrote the “Taiping Jing”!

Many people may not know about Nanhua Laozu, but his apprentices are known to everyone in the Three Kingdoms era!

His apprentice is Zhang Jiao!

Zhang Jiao’s Taoist technique is inherited by Nanhua’s ancestors!

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Jiao has the strength to set off the Yellow Turban Uprising, which eventually directly led to the advent of the Three Kingdoms era.

Originally, Cao Qiao just wanted to find a Taoist priest to ask where there were sulfur mines and saltpeter mines.

As a result, I didn’t expect that I found Zuo Ci! This is a bonus!

However, it is not too surprising!

According to historical records, Cao Cao once entertained Zuo Ci! Zuo Ci now appears in Xuchang, which is not surprising!

Perhaps because of Zhang Jiao’s chaos, people in the Three Kingdoms era did not like this kind of Taoist people so much!

Whether it was Yu Ji or Zuo Ci, although they were very capable according to the records, Sun Ce, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao all wanted to kill them.

In history, Yu Ji was killed by Sun Ce! Then, Sun Ce himself also hung up!

This Zuo Ci, it is said that Cao Cao also wants to kill it, and Liu Biao also wants to kill it, but Zuo Ci has great skills and runs away every time.

That time Cao Cao invited Zuo Ci, Cao Cao smiled and looked around the guests and said: “Today’s VIP gathering, the mountains and sea delicacies are generally ready. All that is missing is minced fish made of sea bass in the Wu Guosong River. ”

Zuo Ci said, “This is easy to get. ”

So he asked for a copper plate, filled it with water, and put bait on a bamboo rod to fish in the dish.

After a while, a sea bass is fished.

Cao Cao applauded warmly, and everyone at the banquet was surprised??

Cao Cao added, “One fish cannot be eaten by all the guests at the banquet, only two is good.” ”

Zuo Ci baited again, and after a while, he fished out another one, which was the same as the previous one, both more than three feet long, and it was very cute.

Cao Cao himself stepped forward and made it into minced fish and gave it to everyone at the banquet.

Cao Cao said again: “Now that we have obtained sea bass, it is a pity that there is no ginger from the Shu Kingdom as a seasoning. ”

Zuo Ci said: “It’s also easy. ”

Cao Cao sent him to buy it nearby, so he said: “I used to send someone to the Shu Kingdom to buy brocade, and you can order someone to tell me the appointed person to let him buy more second ends.” ”

Zuo Ci left, returned after a while, got ginger, and said to Cao Cao: “I saw the person you sent in the qipu where the brocade was sold, and I have ordered him to buy more two ends.” ”

Later, more than a year later, the person appointed by Cao Cao came back and really bought more brocade at the second end.

Cao Cao asked him, and he said, “On a certain day in the past month, I met a man in the shop, and he conveyed your order to me. ”

Cao Cao went out to play in the vicinity, and there were more than 100 scholars.

Zuo Ci sent a bottle of wine, a piece of dried meat, poured the bottle with his own hands, and toasted each official, did the officials not eat and drink? Drunk.

Cao Cao felt strange and sent people to investigate the cause.

I visited the liquor shop and it turned out that their liquor and dried meat were all lost yesterday.

Cao Cao was furious and secretly planned to kill Zuo Ci.

Once, Zuo Ci was at Cao Cao’s banquet, and Cao Cao was about to arrest him, but he retreated into the wall and suddenly disappeared.

Cao Cao offered a reward to hunt him down.

Someone saw him in the bazaar, and was about to capture him, but the people in the bazaar were exactly the same as Zuo Ci, and they didn’t know which one was Zuo Ci.

Some people say that they saw Zuo Ci in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao, who was assassinated by Jingzhou at that time, also thought that Zuo Ci was a demon who confused people’s hearts and planned to capture and kill him.

Liu Biao came out with soldiers and horses to show off, and Zuo Ci knew that Liu Biao wanted to see what Dao skills he had, so he slowly walked to Liu Biao and said, “I have some meager gifts that I want to treat your army.” ”

Liu Biao said: “You are a Taoist priest alone, I have so many men and horses, can you treat me?” ”

Zuo Ci said it again, and Liu Biao sent someone to see what kind of gift it was, and saw that there was only a bucket of wine and a small jerky, but the ten people did not lift it.

Zuo Ci brought the dried meat himself, cut the meat piece by piece on the ground, and asked a hundred people to bring wine and dried meat to distribute to the soldiers.

Three glasses of wine per soldier and one piece of jerky.

The jerky tasted the same as usual, more than 10,000 soldiers were full of food and drink, but there was no lack of wine in the wine vessel, and the jerky was not exhausted, and more than a thousand guests of Liu Biao were also drunk.

Liu Biao was taken aback and dismissed the idea of killing Zuo Ci.

“Cao Gongzi actually knows about me?”

Zuo Ci couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw Cao Qiao looking so surprised.

He thinks he doesn’t have that much fame now!

“Huh…”

When Cao Qiao heard this, he laughed and said, “I heard my master talk about you!” ”

“Cao Gongzi’s division.”

Hearing this, Zuo Ci was suddenly shocked.

“Master Cao Gongzi, I don’t know which immortal master it is?”

In fact, the reason why Zuo Ci came to see Cao Liao this time was mainly for this reason

He also heard that Cao Qiao had an immortal master, and also smuggled many immortal items from the sky.

He wanted to see if it was true!

Now, Cao Qiao knows as soon as he hears his name!

Could it be said that Cao Qiao’s master is also a fellow practitioner?

“My master’s name, he didn’t tell me!”

Cao Qiao shook his head!

He didn’t bother to make up a name either.

This Zuo Ci is not an ordinary person, if you make up a name, in case of showing the stuffing, it is not good.

“That’s a shame!”

Zuo Ci was suddenly disappointed.

If Cao Qiao had said something famous, he would probably have known.

“Then I wonder how Venerable Master evaluates the poor way?”

Zuo Ci asked.

He felt that Cao Qiao’s master might be stronger than himself.

“Rate you?”

Cao Qiao thought for a while and said, “My master said that you just know a little bit of a trail and can’t get on the table!” ”

“I don’t know how many miles away from the real immortal cultivator!”

“Shhh!”

When Zuo Ci heard this, he did not feel that Master Cao Qiao looked down on him, but felt that Cao Qiao’s master might really be a superior person.

“Master Venerable must be a master!”

Zuo Ci sighed again and again, “It’s a pity that I couldn’t see it!” ”

“It’s okay, it’s the same when you see me!”

Cao Qiao smiled and said: “My master said that in this era, you are already good!” ”

“So don’t be presumptuous!”

……

“Yes?”

When Zuo Ci heard Cao Qiao’s words, he couldn’t help but be very surprised.

A figure like Master Cao Qiao actually spoke of him like this?

“I don’t know which faction the Venerable Master is?”

Zuo Ci asked again, “Is there a relationship with my Jindan Sect?” ”

……

“I don’t know about this!”

Cao Qiao shook his head, “My master didn’t tell me either!” ”

……

“Oh!”

Zuo Ci felt regret again.

“So what… Inside, please, let’s go inside and say! ”

Cao Qiao let Zuo Ci in!

This Zuo Ci, Cao Qiao is very interested, and he plans to take a good look.

The two had just walked to the door, but Cao Qiao suddenly smiled and said, “I heard… Will you go through walls? ”

……

“It’s just a trail!”

Zuo Ci said modestly.

“Put it on a show!”

Cao said.

He really wanted to see if this Zuo Ci really had the ability of the legend.

To be honest, as a materialist education since childhood, he is a little unconvinced of this kind of thing.

He felt that there were probably many discrepancies in the historical record.

What to catch fish from thousands of miles away, isn’t that a fantasy?

“It’s ugly!”

Not wanting to, Zuo Ci heard this, but did not have the slightest excuse, and walked directly towards the wall.

And then…… Sou! Zuo Ci is gone!

“Groove!”

Cao Qiao’s eyes suddenly fell out.

He carefully inspected the wall, slapped it hard a few times, and almost smashed the wall.

“No problem, this is a real wall!!”

“How did he get in?”

When Cao Liao entered through the door, he saw Zuo Cizheng standing inside.

“Is there anything strange about Cao Gongzi?”

Zuo Ci looked at Cao Qiao with a puzzled expression, “This wall piercing technique is just a trail.” ”

“Hasn’t Venerable Master demonstrated it before?”

……

“Nope!”

Cao Qiao pretended to force, “My master disdains to demonstrate these things!” ”

……

“Too!”

Zuo Ci nodded, “Venerable immortal-like figure!” ”

“Definitely won’t use these trails!”

“So what… What else will you have? ”

Cao Liao said again: “Catch a fish from Wujiang? ”

……

“Didn’t Cao Gongzi learn these trails?”

Zuo Ci said with some doubts at this time.

“Look at Cao Gongzi just casually slapped those palms, the divine power is amazing, obviously he also learned the Dao Law!”

“Ordinary mortal fetuses in the flesh do not have this kind of power!”

……

“My master didn’t teach me!”

Cao Qiao shook his head, “Just taught me some other things…”

“For example… The use of some new energy! ”

“Why are there twelve hours in a day!”

“Why does the sun rise in the east and set in the west?”

“Why can’t people fly!”

Zuo Ci listened to Cao Qiao’s words, and was stunned.

Sounds esoteric!

“It is estimated that Master Zun is mainly teaching Cao Gongzi to refine instruments!”

Zuo Ci said at this time: “The immortal bottle that Cao Gongzi auctioned is something I have never seen before!” ”

“Is that what Cao Gongzi personally refined?”

……

“It’s not!”

Cao Qiao shook his head, “That thing was left to me by my master!” ”

“If I want to refine it myself, I’m afraid it will take another hundred and eighty years!”

“So it is!”

Zuo Ci suddenly said, “It seems that Cao Gongzi really got the true transmission of the Venerable Master!” ”

“I don’t know if that makeup mirror, can Cao Gongzi refine it himself?”

“I studied it and found that one of the main materials of the makeup mirror seems to be silver!”

“At the same time, I found that if you use mercury, it seems that you can too!”

“Groove!”

When Cao Liao heard Zuo Ci’s words, he was taken aback again.

This girl is really awesome!

It turned out that he discovered the secret of the glass mirror.

The reason why the glass mirror can reflect the light and shine so clearly is because it is plated with silver.

The original glass mirror was plated with mercury! That is, mercury for alchemy! Later, it developed to silver powder!

Later, the technology of silver nitrate began to be used, and it tended to be perfected!
