Chapter 168: The Plan to Accumulate Wealth (2): Cooking Gold

Looking at the salt shaker in his hand, Ximen Qing suddenly realized that he immediately thought of a lot of ways to make money.

No matter how poor people are, they have to eat and drink. In the food and drink, you can have no ingredients, spices, oil and water, but you cannot lack salt! Food without salt, such as chewing white wax, is extremely unpalatable and hard to eat. Therefore, if you can sell white salt, it is definitely a way to accumulate wealth quickly.

However, the salt industry and the iron industry are all controlled by the court. Once caught, those who cook salt, sell salt, and sell salt will be a serious crime, just like modern drug trafficking. Ordinary people dare not mess with this path, because life is the most important thing.

However, Ximen Qing is not afraid!

Ximen Qing looked down on the entire Song Dynasty and sneered at it. Will he be afraid of any law? Therefore, when he thought of the idea of ​​salt industry, Ximen Qing's heart became hot.

Salt is a consumable, a necessary thing for the human body, and it requires a lot of great quantity. In the Song Dynasty, the amount of salt was more than 147,000 stones per year, and the total price was more than 30 million jin. What does this mean? This shows that each kilogram of salt is almost hundreds of jin! If you can get a piece of the pie here, then you will make a profit?

"Damn it, it's really a profitable industry. I'll mess with you, hehe." Ximen Qing held the salt shaker with ecstasy on his face.

Suddenly, the smile on Ximen Qing's face changed and he became a little depressed.

Salt does make money, but who should I go to marketing it? Ximen Qing doesn't do it himself and sells salt himself. Just rely on Ximen Qing's son, don't sell salt, and even sell it. But others can't find it casually! Si salt is a serious crime, and Ximen Qing doesn't want to find some people to sell it, so he didn't make a penny, and he was wanted by the court.

And more importantly, Ximen Qing went there to find salt?

There is a salt field in Hebei called Binzhou Field, which can be more than 21,000 stone salt for one year, to give to the various branches of our province, Di, Qizhou and Jingdong Qing, Zi, Qizhou, Ruodaming, Zhending Prefecture and other places.

The Binzhou farm produces a lot of salt, but Ximen Qing can't steal it. The garrison in it is so strict.

"Buy salt first, then sell salt to make a difference from it. Although this method is profitable, it consumes the cost of earning a lot. If you can cook salt yourself and sell it directly, wouldn't this costless investment make more money? Just where can you find an unmanned salt farm to make yourself cook salt? Now the salt land in the Song Dynasty is controlled by the court. Ximen Qing mocks the salt shaker and thinks in his heart, but forgot about the power of firewood for a while.

Chai Li was speechless and asked, "Emperor Yi, what's wrong? Give me the salt quickly. Are you so hot that you are so stunned? If it's hot, just go into the water to swim!" Ximen Qing then reacted, then smiled embarrassedly, handed the salt shaker in his hand to Chai Li, and said, "Haha, I'm thinking about it, but I forgot you!" Chai Jin asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Emperor Yi? Is there anything difficult?"

Ximen Qing shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just remembered my parents at home."

Although Chai Jin is a good person, Ximen Qing cannot tell him his idea of ​​making si salt.

After all, that is a serious crime. Ximen Qing must act carefully.

At this time, Lin Chong couldn't stand the heat anymore and smiled and said, "You guys talk here, I'll go down and have a good time!" After that, he took off his short jacket, and then ran away and jumped into Henghai Hanoi.

Chai Jin looked at the river water that was blowing bodàng, and then said to Chai Li: "Brother, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, we are not anxious. Haha, I'll swim with Emperor Yi first, take your time!" After that, he smiled and pulled Ximen Qing into the river, without even taking off his clothes.

"Grandma, you guys are so unrighteous, so I'm here to suffer. Hum!"

Chai Li cursed, his eyes envious. Then he looked at the wolf meat on the fire, and he could only spat twice and continue baking.

After jumping into the water, Ximen Qing suddenly felt relieved all over his body, and the feeling of heat disappeared immediately.

Ximen Qing dived directly and then went deep into Hanoi like a swimming fish.

Diving into the water, Ximen Qing slowly opened his eyes. As expected, the interior of Henghai River was also very clear, and you could see the lush grass at the bottom of the river and the fish were playing.

Ximen Qing became interested, and then a dragon swung his tail and went deep into the river to catch the fish. However, although Ximen Qing's swimming skills were not bad, he still couldn't catch the swimming fish in the water.

Looking at the black mud that was unable to catch fish, but with one hand, Ximen Qing smiled bitterly, shook his hands, then swung his feet, and swam up and came out again.

When he saw Ximen Qing swimming up, Chai Jin, who was beside him, laughed and said, "Emperor Yi, you have such a skill. You can dive for so long! Awesome!"

As the King of War in his previous life, Ximen Qing could dive for three to four minutes. In this life, he practiced his internal skills and his ability to dive was greatly enhanced. Now he can dive for ten minutes. Only ten minutes is a bit rubbish for the entire Song Dynasty, which has many talents.

Ximen Qing liáo the river water, and then smiled and said, "I can't do it, there are talented people in the world!" At this time, Lin Chong also swam over and said with a smile, "Emperor Yi is right, so I know a diving master. It is said that he can dive for seven days and seven nights, and even sleep in the water!" "Ah? Is it true?" Chai Jin asked with a look of surprise.

Ximen Qing asked, "Is Brother Lin talking about the white stripes in his nose? "Lin Chong nodded and said, "That's right, it's that Zhang Shun! It is said that he obtained a secret book of internal skills by chance, and he practiced the turtle breathing technique in the water, so his underwater skills are amazing."

Chai Jin smiled and said, "Such a hero, I must make friends in the future!"

Ximen Qing also answered: "That's right!"

At this time, Chai Li's cry came from the shore: "Zhaoyi, Emperor Yi, coach, the meat is ready, come up quickly 1"

Chai Jin said: "Emperor Yi, coach, let's go up. If you don't go up, my elder brother will be so angry that he will cry. Ha Xiao."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, then went ashore.

When I came to Chai Li, I saw Chai Li had cut the wolf meat into pieces and placed it on the plate. There were also some broken leaves of green vegetables and some chili powder, which was fragrant.

Ximen Qing twisted his wet top, then stretched out his head and smelled the fragrant wolf meat, then gave Chai Li a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Good skills!"

Chai Li suddenly became proud, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "That's more to say!"

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Well, it really smells good. It's really the choice to be a chef!"

At this time, Chai Jin also joked: "Yes, it's just a life as a chef, haha."

Chai Li rolled his eyes directly to the two of them and said, "The dog can't spit out ivory!"

At this time, Lin Chong also followed Feng and said, "Brother Chai Li is really good at telling the truth. You can't spit out ivory even if you don't believe it! If you don't believe it, try it yourself? "Damn! I'd better jump into the river!" Chai Li hugged his head and went a little crazy.

"Hehe" the three of them laughed out loud, and they were naturally happy.

Then the four of them sat up and tasted the wolf meat roasted by Chai Li. The wolf meat tasted a bit like dog meat, but it was different. In addition, the meat was covered with ingredients, so the taste was very good.

Just as Ximen Qing was having a feast, Chai Li glanced at Ximen Qing, then laughed and said, "Emperor Yi, you're enjoying swimming just now!"

Ximen Qing was stunned and couldn't understand what plane Chai Li was doing, but he nodded and said, "Yeah, it's not bad, it's very comfortable in the water. What's wrong? Are you envious?"

Chai Li smiled and said, "I'm envious? Of course I'm envious! Look at you, you're almost burying into the bottom of the water, how can you not envy?

After Chai Li said this, Chai Jin and Lin Chong saw Ximen Qing's hair, and then pointed at Ximen Qing and smiled.

Ximen Qing frowned suspiciously, then reached out to mock her hair, and indeed several pieces of blue and black "silt" were removed from her hair. This thing was not big, just like a thumb, a bit like mud, but harder than the real mud, not soft, but like ketchup. Moreover, there are tiny holes on this "silt", and white particles can be seen vaguely inside the holes.

Ximen Qing put them in his palm and asked, "What is this? It's not like mud? The mud doesn't look like this."

Chai Jin smiled and said, "This is why the Henghai River is not turbid!"

Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Oh, it's up to it. Look at the small holes on it, which should be used to absorb sand and dust. This is like charcoal and steep salt, which are all used to vacuum and steep salt?"

Ximen Qing was stunned and stared blankly at the black and blue "silt" in his hand and felt a terrible heart.

"If it is true, then it will be released!" Ximen Qing thought to himself, and then, in the stunned eyes of Chai Jin and the other two, Ximen Qing jumped into the water again, then dived to the bottom of the river, grabbed a lot of "silt" with his hands and came up. After getting ashore, Ximen Qing ran directly to the fire, placed the "silt" next to the porcelain jar, and then added some water to start napping on the fire. Then, Ximen Qing sat cross-legged beside the porcelain jar, staring at the situation in the porcelain jar.

Chai Jin, Lin Chong, and Chai Li looked at each other, and their heads were full of question marks, almost becoming one hundred thousand whys. Chai Jin asked in confusion: "Emperor Yi, why do you want to cook these mud?"

Chai Li also said: "Yes, Emperor Yi, are you too bored? Are you irritated and have no eggs? Can you cook this thing and make gold?"

Ximen Qing gave Chai Li a middle finger and snorted: "Not to say that, if it is really what I guess, then it will be able to cook gold!"

"Ah? Really fake?" Chai Li shouted in shock.

Ximen Qing ignored Chai Li and focused on cooking the "silt". He filtered the mud, added water, and removed debris. After doing this in a series, the originally blue-black and dirty water in the porcelain jar slowly turned gray and white.

After the last drop of water was dried, Ximen Qing hurriedly took the porcelain jar off the fire.

When I saw the small layer of shiny crystals under the porcelain jar, Ximen Qing was excited and shouted directly in Xinfeng: "Damn it, it's God's helping me! I can discover this and I'm getting rich!"
