Qin Meiyu expressed to Qin Yi that he was Qin Yi's strong backing.
"Haha, Yi, you're a child who brings hope. Uncle believes in you and does whatever you want. Uncle will always be behind you.”
Qin Yi's resolute voice immediately woke up everyone who was still in a daze.
Then, everyone stared at Qin Yi in disbelief.
Second Emperor Li first asked Qin Meiyu to get people to prepare the things Qin Yi wanted as soon as possible before turning around to give Qin Yi a fierce warning.
"Qin Yi, you have to promise that what you said is true. Otherwise, there will be very serious consequences waiting for you.”
Qin Yi did not say anything. He only smiled proudly at Second Emperor Li. His smile was filled with confidence.
Everyone was staring at Qin Yi. They saw Qin Yi's reaction in his words. It was as if he was telling them that they only needed to believe in Qin Yi.
Not long after, everything was ready. The servants placed the things that Qin Yi wanted to use to make salt in front of everyone.
When Second Emperor Li saw that everything was ready, he fiercely told Qin Yi to hurry up and make the salt he mentioned.
Qin Yi did not cower in the face of Second Emperor Li's fierce urging. Instead, he commanded his servants to start making salt in front of everyone.
Then, everyone watched as Qin Yi instructed the servants to first crush the salt ore. The finer it was, the closer it was to powder, the better. Then, they placed the crushed salt ore into a container filled with water and stirred it evenly.
When the mixed solution in the container was stirred evenly, he began to order the servants to follow his instructions and start filtering it over and over again. When the people filtered out the liquid that met Qin Yi's requirements, he asked the servants to put the liquid into the iron pot and boil it.
Qin Yi saw that there was only one last step left in the salt making process, so he walked back to Qin Meiyu and said proudly to everyone.
"Just wait and see. As long as someone in the iron pot is boiled dry, there will be non-toxic edible salt.”
When everyone heard Qin Yi's words, they all stared at the iron pot and waited for the salt to come out. They watched as the water in the iron pot slowly decreased until it dried up. Then, white salt appeared in front of their eyes.
Everyone looked at the white salt in front of them. Many of them started crying. Those who didn't cry were about to cry.
Qin Yi saw that everyone was still immersed in their own emotions, so he ordered the servants to pack up the rest of the things, leaving only the pot of salt.
Everyone cleaned up, leaving only the pot of salt in front of everyone. At this moment, Cheng Sanfu reached out and took out a little salt from the pot. He put it into his mouth and tasted it. He looked at Second Emperor Li excitedly and incoherently.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, look, this is salt. This is really fucking salt!”
"Qin brat really made salt, salt that is better than all the salt now!”
After listening to Cheng Sanfu's words, Second Emperor Li also took a little salt and tasted it. Then, he excitedly told everyone.
"With the new salt produced by this method, our Great Tang can finally say goodbye to the problem of salt shortage. The army will no longer have to worry about the troubles brought about by a lack of salt, and the people will have salt to use.”
Qin Meiyu happily threw Qin Yi high up in the air. Li Qiankun, Li Antai, Li Li, Cheng Chumo, and Zhangsun Chong looked at Qin Yi with admiration.
After a while, everyone calmed down from the new salt.
Everyone who was in a good mood began to ask Qin Yi one after another. Since he knew how to make salt, why didn't he hand over the method earlier?
Qin Yi explained what had happened to everyone with an aggrieved expression.
"In the days since I came to Chang 'an, all my food was prepared by the kitchen.”
"Although I usually feel that there's a strange smell in the food when I eat, seeing that everyone is eating with relish, I didn't say anything about the trouble.”
"Besides, I'm usually either lazy in the yard or making medicine in the pharmacy. I've never seen what salt looks like.”
" I didn't know that the yellowish-brown crystal is the so-called salt until you took me around Chang 'an today. Most people eat vinegar cloth.”
"This made me realize that the salt I eat now is not the same as the salt I know. That's why I didn't contribute the method of making salt.”
Everyone was speechless after listening to Qin Yi's words. In summary, Qin Yi was lazy and didn't like to go out, so he handed over the salt recipe so late.
"Qin brat, then you better think carefully. Is there anything else you haven't remembered?”
"If there is…"
Second Emperor Li used a vicious tone to scare Qin Yi.
Qin Yi stood there and thought for a moment. It seemed like he really forgot to say something. He immediately hid behind Qin Meiyu and carefully told Second Emperor Li.
"Uncle Li, I seem to have forgotten to mention something.”
"Yes, it's like this. If you boil the salt like that just now, you'll get high-quality salt.”
"There is also a method of sun-drying salt. It is to use seawater to sun-dry salt, but the salt obtained is very rough.”
"Yes, that's what I forgot.”
Second Emperor Li only wanted to scare Qin Yi, but he did not expect Qin Yi to really forget to mention it.
Qin Meiyu took advantage of the fact that everyone had yet to react and immediately gave Qin Yi a good beating. This time, she really gave him a good beating.# Date:09 27 2019 12:30PM
