Chapter 27 Purification
"Don't worry, Your Highness King Jin, I have sent someone to your highness's bedroom. You can go back and check it at any time!"
At this moment, Wei Zheng walked over with a smile on his face.
"You old man are nice and have a wink. Let's go!"
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Zhi smiled happily and walked towards the imperial kitchen as if he was obsessed with money.
"I dare to ask the palace down here, what's wrong?"
Standing at the door of the imperial kitchen, Wei Zheng followed His Majesty with a confused look on his face. He couldn't help it, and then he started asking.
"Take money and get rid of disasters with others. Since I have received the money, I will naturally give you the method of purification!"
Li Zhi looked proud and explained casually, then walked into the imperial kitchen directly.
"See Your Majesty, meet His Highness the King of Jin!"
The imperial chefs who followed Yue Yun to study the new dishes, when they saw Li Er and others, they hurriedly bowed to worship.
"Yue Yun stays, the others go out first!"
Seeing so many people here, Li Zhi frowned and gave an order.
The purification method is definitely a breakthrough for the Tang Dynasty, and it is enough to change a person's life.
Especially when people are too talkative, they may not be promoted at any time.
"Zhinu, what are you doing?"
Looking at the dirty and messy in the imperial kitchen, Li Er asked dissatisfiedly.
"Yue Yun, bring some salt!"
He suspected that the weird tastes came from the last dish, which were found in these ingredients.
"Your Highness, this one in front of you is salt!"
Yue Yun looked at Li Zhi with a strange look.
How could His Highness, the King of Jin, who was able to create such a magical recipe, not know salt?
In the astonished eyes of everyone, Li Zhi directly twisted a small piece of particles and threw them into his mouth.
"Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Salty is bitter, what kind of salt is this?"
Li Zhi's chubby little face was distorted at this time, and he kept spitting out the things in his mouth.
"Your Highness, this is a top-quality official salt. It was only delivered after grinding. Ordinary people cannot buy such top-quality salt!"
After hearing His Highness King Jin's words, Yue Yun's face was instantly bloodless and quickly explained.
Even this is how dare you say it is a top official salt?
If he was not mistaken, the bitter taste just now would not be purified properly!
Remaining harmful substances such as nitr, phosphorus, and potassium in the salt!
If this continues, it will cause serious harm to the body!
"Now, as I told you, prepare the things immediately. If you eat too much of this thing, you are simply seeking death!"
Seeing Yue Yun was so scared that Li Zhi gave him an order again.
Perhaps because of fear, in just a moment, what he asked for was ready.
"Populate the salt into the stone mill and grind it again!"
Li Zhi sat aside with his legs crossed, stretching out his fingers to point Yue Yun to work.
Li Er and Wei Zheng looked at each other carefully, without any intention of stopping them.
"Wow!"
The sound of the rotating stone mill quickly, these small pieces of salt were ground into fine particles again, and overflowed from the surroundings of the millstone.
"Put the powder into a bucket, add water and stir to allow it to dissolve fully into the water!"
Li Zhi carefully observed the changes in salt water in the wooden barrel.
After a moment, the originally clear water has become turbid!
Only then did Li Zhi ask him to pour water into another wooden barrel, but there were two layers of cloth for steaming buns at the mouth of this wooden barrel.
Li Er and Wei Zheng widened their eyes, and they could clearly see the changes on the cloth.
The salt water seeped down the tile cloth little by little, but a huge black spot was left in the center of the tile cloth.
Needless to ask, they also knew that this should be considered the impurity mentioned in the mouth of King Jin.
However, the matter was still not over, and several people walked in with a strange air.
After getting in, Li Er realized that the function of this rack was to fix the giant funnel inside, and the funnel was still covered with a tile cloth.
However, this time the tile cloth was even thicker. In Li Zhi's explanation, Li Er realized that this time the tile cloth was mixed with charcoal debris.
Pour the turbid salt water into the filter again, and the light green liquid slowly flowed into the wooden barrel. Only then did Li Zhi stretch out a finger, dip some salt water and put it in his mouth.
"Okay, just evaporate the moisture inside this!"
Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction.
Although it cannot achieve the pure white color of later generations, at least after processing in this way, eating will not be harmful.
"This...how is this possible? Why is there no bitterness at all?"
Without Li Zhi's words, Wei Zheng couldn't wait to reach out and put the salt water into his mouth as he did, and was stunned on the spot.
"Now use this salt and stir-fry a side dish!"
He didn't believe it anymore. With the salt he reprocessed, it would still have that inexplicable smell.
"Father, I'm 10,000 taels of gold. Are you satisfied with buying such a technology?"
The waiting time is always long, and Li Zhi started to joke about Li Er while he was bored.
"It's worth it. Your Majesty, I have just tasted it. After being treated by His Highness King Jin, the official salt has no flaws. It surpasses the quality of all salt in the Tang Dynasty. Even the best salt in the hands of those clans cannot be compared with it!"
Wei Zheng's old face was like a blooming chrysanthemum at this time.
The court had such skills in hand, and he was confident that he could earn a lot of wealth for the court in a short period of time.
"Well, in this way, the court can take a bite of this fat piece of meat!"
Li Er nodded with satisfaction.
Being able to weaken the opponent's strength is undoubtedly great news for Li Er.
"Father, my friend reminds you that poisonous salt can also be purified in this way to become edible salt. It is not only edible sea salt!"
Such a small profit could make the two of them feel complacent there, which made Li Zhi very despised.
There is nothing more short-sighted!
"What? Your Highness, is this true?"
Wei Zheng exclaimed, and he was almost rushing over and chewing him a few bites.
There are many salt mines in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately they are all poisonous salt and cannot be eaten.
What a great fortune it would be if these poisonous salts could be turned into edible salts.
"Believe it or not!"
He actually dared to question him, Li Zhi curled his lips and jumped directly to the ground, walking like Yue Yun.
Because he saw the dishes come out of the pot, the smell that floated out this time was much more fragrant than before, which made Li Zhi's eyes lit up.
It's this feeling and this taste, it's really been a long time since it was gone.
“Ha…hot…”
Li Zhi kept flirting with his hands and exhaling quickly.
"Ha ha!"
This scene made Li Er, who was walking slowly, laugh.
I originally thought that this little boy was bragging to him, but I didn't expect that this little guy really did what he said and brought countless wealth to the Tang Dynasty.
"Zhinu, isn't this the same dish as the one I just said? You kid, what's the matter with your father?"
Seeing him eating voraciously, Li Er shook his head helplessly.
"How could this be the same?"
