"Can it work?"

Li Shimin watched the solution swelling and bubbled in the pot, and his voice was trembling at this moment.

As an emperor, I naturally knew how important this salt was to the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention the issue of salt tax, even the salt needed by ordinary people in daily life is also a top priority.

But even so, the salt output of Datang still cannot meet.

If today's salt really became, it would be like the rice with a yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu, and it would have epoch-making significance for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was extremely nervous at this moment.

The ministers next to them were even more afraid to speak at this moment.

Zhao Chen's operation just now had really shocked them.

Now, they want to know whether this salt can be successful!

"Can it work? Can I remove the word "Is"? The salt I cooked is better than what I used to eat, and is no less than the green salt." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

After hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but tremble.

Green salt, that's not something to eat.

This is to use willow branches to clean your mouth every day.

It costs at least 500 cents per pound, which is five times the price of ordinary official salt.

Even a wealthy family is reluctant to spend this money.

Even if he was Li Shimin, who was the emperor, was reluctant to waste it like this.

This green salt will only appear when rewarding the meritorious minister.

The other few people thrust hard, and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and look at the iron pot in front of them.

As time passes slowly, the moisture in the pot gradually evaporates.

A thick layer of hard shell with a green color was left behind at the bottom of the pot.

Removed the firewood, Zhao Chen broke off a piece from the pot and threw it into his mouth.

"Well, it's not bad, it's better than what I made in a tavern." Zhao Chen nodded.

Before Cheng Chumo and the others could taste it first, Li Shimin took two steps at a time and stopped in front of the iron pot.

Break off the nails and fill them in your mouth.

Although my salty face twitched, I couldn't bear to vomit.

"Water... Give me water!" After all, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel salty in his mouth and spit out the salt that had not yet completely melted in his mouth.

Fang Xuanling quickly handed over the water bag.

After a few gurglings, Li Shimin recovered.

But his face was filled with excitement.

Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but feel curiosity in their hearts and carefully tasted some salt grains.

But for a moment, everyone's faces were filled with shock.

They have never eaten such quality salt.

The so-called official salt in the Tang Dynasty was really a pile of garbage in front of this salt.

"The Marquis of Zhao County, Fang Xuanling admires him very much!" Fang Xuanling bowed his hand first, his face full of respect.

"I am really a young man who is a hero, I feel ashamed of myself!" Li Xiaogong also nodded, his face full of shock.

No longer the skeptical look that was before.

Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were also looking at Zhao Chen with bright eyes at this moment.

Especially with Wei Zheng's eyes, he was thinking, if he could also participate in this salt bureau, wouldn't he be able to make a profit?

However, this is obviously a cooperation between the emperor and Zhao Chen, and he may not be able to participate.

What a pity.

"Zhao Chen, don't go back first. Are there any salt blocks here? Today we will make all these salt blocks into salt." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he took the big knife beside him and clanged.

pounded the salt block.

Seeing that Li Shimin was like this, the other ministers dared not stand there. They picked up the swords and smashed them like Li Shimin.

The sun sets westward, and the Qianniu Guard General Cheng Yaojin saw that Li Shimin had not returned to the palace for so long.

Li Shimin did not tell him where he was going in advance.

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but feel a little anxious and led a group of Qianniu Guards out of the palace to search.

It was not until the night fell that I came here.

But I saw the emperor leading Fang Xuanling and other ministers, banging the salt blocks on the ground.

Zhao Chen was lying on the grass, holding a dog-tail grass in his mouth, looking at the people in front of him calmly.

"Your Majesty, you are..." Cheng Yaojin was a little stunned.

The Qianniu Guards behind them were also full of surprises.

This emperor did not return to the palace at night, so he brought these third-rank officials to knock on stones here?

Is this crazy?

"Go and have someone send two sheep over. I'm hungry. In addition, I'll set up a tent next to me. I'll rest here tonight!" Li Shimin waved his hand and did not explain to Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to delay, and soon two sheep were sent over.

Qianniuwei also set up a tent in the distance.

"Boy Zhao, do a favor. You have good skills. Make a roast lamb tonight." Li Shimin sat down next to Zhao Chen and stretched his waist long.

I haven't worked for a long time, and I smashed the salt blocks for a whole afternoon, so I naturally felt sore in my waist and back.

"Don't plan to go back tonight?" Zhao Chen spit out the dogtail grass in his mouth and his eyes fell on Li Shimin.

He never expected Li Shimin to be so excited.

And with his figure, he can still make a night out, which is really amazing.

"I won't go back. Let Cheng Yaojin and his people continue to make salt later. Tomorrow morning, we must make a thousand kilograms of salt."

"I want to open my eyes to the court officials!" Li Shimin was a little proud.

I think I feel extremely excited at this moment.

"Then I..."

"You kid can't escape. Stay here tonight and talk to me!" Li Shimin interrupted Zhao Chen's idea of ​​going back.

Lie down on the grass.

Cheng Chumo took a half-foot-long hand-removing knife. In an instant, the two sheep separated their flesh and blood, which made Zhao Chen stunned.

He had never seen such skillful use of the knife in the process.

It would be a pity to not be a chef with such knife skills.

Although there are not many people, Zhao Chen doesn't want to spend too much effort to make roasted lamb.

He asked Qin Huaiyu to boil a pot of water and put the mutton in it.

I found a few handfuls of wild onions on the grass, took out a handful of dried peppers from the aristologue chains, and threw them all into the pot.

Although it is not as good as the carefully prepared delicacy, it has seduced everyone's greed at this moment.

Qianniuwei, who was busy hitting the salt block, looked here frequently at this moment.

The lamb was cooked quickly.

The aroma of meat, onion, and the spicy of chili peppers cheer everyone up.

Everyone got a lot of food.

Fang Xuanling, who usually attaches great importance to demeanor, is also chewing mutton and sucking mutton soup in his mouth.

Li Shimin did not have the emperor's demeanor at all at this moment.

Fortunately, it was dark and no one could see Li Shimin picking his teeth at the moment.

Otherwise, the image of the emperor would be gone.

After eating and drinking, it was already late at night.

Don’t be in a hurry to make salt. Everyone lay on the grass, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

It looks like the full moon, there is a beautiful laurel in the moonlight.

"Zhao Chen, do you think there are really gods in this sky?" Li Shimin put his head on his arms and looked at the full moon in the sky.

He was extremely relaxed at this moment.
