"Oh right, there's also this!"
Zhao Che said as he pushed the refined salt over to Old Zhao and Old Wang.
When he opened the bag, all he saw was snow white.
"This is?"
Brother Zheng was stunned.
It was worth mentioning that there was actually no snow salt in this day and age.
Due to the limitation of purification technology, snowflake salt did not exist until the Song Dynasty.
It was pure white salt.
The salt that ordinary people usually ate was mostly black or yellow. Moreover, there were many impurities in it, making it taste bitter.
Other than replenishing salt, it basically did not help to enhance the taste.
The salt that some dignitaries ate was usually well salt with a relatively high purity.
After simple purification and filtering, the color of well salt was usually light green.
If the purity was higher, it would also be white, but not as white as snowflakes.
"This is salt?"
Brother Zheng was stunned for a moment. He looked at the white and flawless snow salt and asked.
Zhao Che nodded.
Brother Zheng smiled.
"Good salt?"
The color and purity of the snowflake salt were basically better than the salt that Brother Zheng ate himself.
But that was all.
Brother Zheng thought that Zhao Che had found a better salt mine, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
"This thing is purified from salt stones.”Zhao Che gave a friendly reminder.
Zhao Che could understand Old Zhao's calmness when he saw the snow salt.
One more salt mine or one less salt mine was not a big deal.
Unless the salt mine was so large that it was inexhaustible.
Salt was a daily necessity. In fact, the taste of green salt and snow salt was not too different.
Snow salt was just a little better than green salt.
However, if you mastered the refining technology of refined salt, it would be different.
Zhao Che's refined salt didn't come from a salt mine, but from salt and salt stones.
Halogen-salt was a salt crystal that was naturally produced in highly saline-alkalized land.
This kind of salt generally contained heavy metals that exceeded the standard, and it tasted bitter. Unless it was forced, no one would eat it.
If it was light, it would cause diarrhea, and if it was heavy, it would cause heavy metal poisoning. They were laughing and laughing on the spot.
As for the salt stones, they were the salt that animals ate.
Animals also needed to replenish salt, such as sheep, cattle, and other animals. Most of them had places to replenish salt.
It was usually a natural salt mine.
The salt stones were a mixture of salt crystals, rocks, and soil.
Animals such as cows and sheep would lick salt stones to replenish their salt.
And this salt was inedible.
Just like the salt, the heavy metal content exceeded the standard and there were too many impurities.
Due to the limitation of purification technology, no matter if it was salt stone or salt, it could not be used as edible salt in ancient times.
The edible salt in this era was mainly lake salt and well salt.
Lake salt usually had a lot of impurities, so people had to screen them out. As for the separation of heavy metals, of course, it didn't exist.
This kind of salt was usually eaten by the lowest class of people.
Well salt, on the other hand, was an underground salt mine. Its purity was relatively high and its price was relatively expensive. It was the salt that the upper class ate.
Due to technical reasons, although the Xia Dynasty did not lack salt mines, the feudal society lacked salt.
Throughout history, the salt of every dynasty was equivalent to the symbol on the iron painting.
Brother Zheng naturally paid attention to these things.
Salt, iron, oh no, in this era, it should be salt and copper. They were the foundation of the country.
He naturally knew about Brother Yan Zheng.
Brother Zheng also knew that salt and salt stones could only be used to feed animals.
However, Zhao Che could turn the salt into snow salt, which was even better than green salt.
There is no shortage of salt mines in China.
Salt and salt stones could be seen everywhere.
Let's put it this way. As long as there were animals living in a place, there would definitely be a place with salt.
Great Qin lacked salt, salt that humans could eat.
If they could eat salt and salt stones, Great Qin would no longer have to worry about lacking salt.
"Non-toxic?" Brother Zheng asked.
Zhao Che nodded.
"I've been eating since I was young!" Zhao Che nodded with certainty.
Brother Zheng looked at the snow salt in front of him and smiled.
"Not bad!"
One salt, two iron!
Zhao Che released two killing weapons without hesitation.
No matter which era these two things were placed in, they were enough to be conferred the title of Marquis.
Brother Zheng was indeed tempted.
"Very good!" Brother Zheng gave another evaluation.
"Who invented it?" Brother Zheng asked again.
Those who could make steel and salt were all talents.
"Merely untalented, that's me." Zhao Che said with a smile.
Brother Zheng subconsciously didn't believe it, but looking at Zhao Che's confident expression, he thought about it carefully and realized that Zhao Che had no reason to lie to him.
but
Zhao Che is only in his early twenties, right?
His military talent was enough to make one of the Four Great Generals, Wang Jian, love talent.
His political talent had also repeatedly surprised Brother Zheng.
"Your father has taught his son well."
Brother Zheng sighed.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Che's smile slowly disappeared.
"Correct me." Zhao Che said seriously.
"I don't have a father."
"I won't admit it even if there is!"
Zhao Che said firmly.
Zhao Che wanted to find that scumbag father.
Then, she would break his legs and make him repent in front of his mother.
As for the so-called grace of giving birth?
If you don't raise them, you're a bastard!
