"Let me have a taste?"

Seeing that Yin Jian made such a comment, the other people also hurriedly came over to pick up the refined salt in Wu Liang's hand.

"Well, it is indeed much better than the salt we usually eat."

"The main reason is that the color is pure, without a lot of fine sand, which makes people like it. I would like to call it snowflake salt."

"You're a talented brother, I'm afraid you're going to be very successful! With the appearance and taste of this salt, as well as your unique craftsmanship, if you open a salt store, the salt store in Chenliu County will be run out of money?

"

"As long as we live in wealth and honor, don't forget each other, talented brothers."

The performance of several people was similar to that of Yin Jian, but after a few words of praise, they lost their focus and connected the salt purified by Wu Liang with business.

This is human nature. As the saying goes, rare things are valuable.

When people see a rare good thing, they will naturally unconsciously consider its value and the possibility of realizing it. This kind of thinking logic has been formed since ancient times.

"What's wrong with being rich? I made this salt for myself to eat."

Wu Liang just smiled indifferently and said indifferently.

What is wealth? Isn’t it just wealth?

What is wealth, but gold?

What is gold? Isn’t it the precious metal buried in ancient tombs in the tombs of the Han and Liang kings?

A small tomb of King Xiao of Liang can yield thousands of kilograms of gold, so will there be less in the remaining tombs?

As far as Wu Liang knew, in addition to the tomb of King Xiao of Liang, there were 12 tombs hidden underground, and he had an impression of all the locations in his mind.

He could dig out as much gold as he wanted. With a snap of his fingers, he could easily become the richest man in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. How could he care about the petty profits of the salt trade?

compare to.

Wu Liang is more willing to use the "Five-step Salt Production Method" to exchange for something more important, so that he can live a more relaxed and comfortable life in this troubled world, so that he can focus more on what he really feels.

Interesting things.

"Isn't this overkill..."

Yin Jian said with some regret, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He came over and whispered to Wu Liang, "Brother Youcai, if you don't have the heart to do business, why not teach me this method of boiling salt? I'll call my family.

To run this business, you get a big share of the money and just give us a bite to eat, how about that?"

"Hey! As smart as you are, we also want to make a living!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately came over and pushed Yin Jian aside.

Looking at their expectant faces, Wu Liang shook his head and said seriously: "Don't think about it. Even if I give it to you, you can't keep it. This thing is a disaster for you, not a blessing. If you don't want to end up like this,

If your family is ruined, you might as well just follow me and pay your military salary."

"Why is this?"

Everyone was surprised.

"One day you will understand."

Wu Liang shook his head again and said with a smile, "That's it for now. Don't mention it again. It's getting late. Let's set up a big pot and prepare to cook meat and drink wine!"

Wu Liang was not worried that these people would learn his salt-cooking method, secretly cook the salt or reveal the salt-cooking method to others.

The method he just used is not the correct step of the "Five-step Salt Production Method", but only draws on some of its principles. It is very poor in terms of efficiency and consumption, and it is impossible to apply it to large-scale salt production.

So if someone wants to make a lot of money using this method, it is almost impossible.

What's more, these people don't understand the principles, and they may not have learned the essence even after reading it once.

Of course, this can also be regarded as a small human test for Wu Liang.

At present, these people can be regarded as Wu Liang's most trusted people in this world. If any of them can't control their mouths, or can't stand the temptation of interests, Wu Liang can tell it in advance.

It's better to deal with it as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

…

Meat in the Han Dynasty was also a luxury product.

At this time, there had long been the saying of six livestock, but cattle and horses were extremely important labor and strategic materials. If it were not for natural birth, aging, illness and death, beef and horse meat would not be seen on people's tables. It would even be illegal to slaughter cattle and horses privately.

Of course, except for the superior nobles, they have privileges.

Even pork, which was regarded as a lowly thing at this time, was very expensive and could not be afforded by ordinary people.

"The Treatise on Salt and Iron? Dispersion and Insufficiency" says: "A man's meat from a pig will yield a harvest in his middle age."

The money raised by raising a pig, killing it and selling it can be equal to a whole year's income when the situation was good. This shows that it is evident from this.

Of course, everything must have a reference. The "middle-aged harvest" here is not aimed at the large number of poor farmers, but at the middle peasants and rich peasants who live a decent life. After all, the poor peasants cannot afford to eat, so how can they have the money to buy piglets?

, I'm afraid that people will starve to death before they are raised.

In addition, the "Juyan Han Slips" unearthed in 1930 also explains the price of pork in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.

Some economists analyzed the price of pork at that time and the purchasing power of money, and concluded that if the pork at that time were put into the 21st century, it would reach between 255 RMB and 273 RMB per catty.

This price is already equivalent to eight to nine times the domestic pork price in 2020...

What's more, it's still the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when wars are ongoing. Productivity has been severely damaged. The price of pork will only become more terrible, making it even less affordable for the common people.

However, Yin Jian still complied with Wu Liang's request and bought half a fan of pork.

Anyway, it's not my own money, so I don't feel bad about it. I can still have a meal of meat at night, so why not do it.

Therefore, what Wu Liang cooks now is also pork.

As for the remaining chickens, ducks and geese that are still alive, there is no need to consider storage issues, and there is no rush to eat them.

Wu Liang scooped up the unsteamed salt water from the bottom of the pot, filled it with well water to dilute the concentration of the salt water, poured two bowls of rice wine into it to remove the fishy smell and enhance the freshness, and finally threw in two green onions and a large piece of ginger.

Start cooking!

As for other condiments and spices, they were all enjoyed by the nobles and were not very popular among the common people who had difficulty eating. Yin Jian could forget about it if he didn't buy it. We will talk about it later.

"Suck-!"

After cooking like this for a while, the aroma of the meat came out, and Chen Jinshui and others began to swallow their saliva uncontrollably, staring directly at the tumbling pieces of meat in the big iron pot, which made them look forward to it.

Even Wu Liang's "beauties" came here to find out what was going on. They stood in the distance and watched eagerly, but did not dare to come over.

To be honest, these people have not lived a good life, and some of them may not have even tasted the taste of meat, let alone seen the current scene.

That's half a fan of pork. How many people spend their entire lives unable to afford half a fan of pork.

Just put it in a pot and cook it. Do you plan to eat it in one meal tonight?

In today's world, even many nobles may not dare to eat so much, right?

How!

So arrogant!

It's so inhumane!
