Meng Fan nodded with a smile." That's right, this is salt!" It's salt with a high purity!"
"You found a high purity salt well?”Ying Zheng looked at the snow-white salt in his hand, then at Meng Fan. He had a guess.
Yes, that must be the case.
This kid must have found a salt well with a very high purity that had not been discovered by anyone.
"Kid, quickly tell us where that salt well is."”
But to Ying Zheng's surprise, Meng Fan shook his head with a smile.
"This salt is not dug out from a salt well.”
"Where did that come from?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, feeling a little confused.
In his opinion, there were only two ways to obtain salt. One was well salt, and the other was sea salt.
Ying Zheng had seen the sea salt before, so he naturally recognized it.
Now Meng Fan said that the salt in his hand wasn't dug out from a salt well, but it wasn't sea salt.
Looking at Ying Zheng's confused expression, Meng Fan said directly,""I extracted this salt from salt and salt stones.”
"What?" Wang Jian was surprised." Brine salt and salt stones? Won't it kill you?"
They knew what Meng Fan was talking about.
Compared to well salt and sea salt, these two kinds of salt were crystals that were sun-dried in saline-alkalized land and natural minerals such as soil and stones that contained salt.
The former contained a large amount of toxic and harmful substances, and it tasted bitter. If one ate it, they would vomit and have diarrhea. If they ate it seriously, they would be carried away.
Some poor families were ruined because they ate too much salt.
It was the same for the latter. Compared to salt, salt stones had more impurities. Generally, only cattle and sheep that lacked salt would lick them to replenish their own salt.
In short, due to the limitation of purification technology, no matter if it was salt or salt stones, they were not edible.
After hearing Wang Jian's words, Ying Zheng frowned and said,""Yeah, salt and salt stones are for animals to eat. Won't something happen to humans after eating them?”
Meng Fan looked at the two and chuckled.""I've been using this salt to cook these days. Why don't I see anything wrong with you?”
"And before I met Old Zhao and Old Wang, I also ate this kind of salt. Didn't I still live well?”
"What is it? You gave us this kind of salt?" Wang Jian said in disbelief.
From Meng Fan's cooking, he didn't feel the bitter taste of salt at all. Instead, it was all the aroma of a dish.
In the past, when he ate in Xianyang, he could often taste bitterness in the food.
Even well salt and sea salt had a bitter taste that could not be eliminated, but salt and salt stones did not. This simply subverted his understanding of life!
It was Ying Zheng who caught the key point in Meng Fan's words.""Kid, do you have any unique refining methods?”
" Hehe, of course." Meng Fan smiled smugly." How about it?" Now, can I help you earn more money from selling salt?”
Ying Zheng remained silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
He had to admit that if Meng Fan was willing to tell him his purification method, it would be a terrifying fortune!
When salt merchants all over the world were fighting for salt wells and salt lakes, they never thought that the useless salt and salt stones could be refined into salt with a higher purity than salt wells and salt lakes.
The existing salt wells and salt lakes had almost been divided up, but salt and salt stones could be seen almost everywhere.
Taking down a salt well required a large amount of capital, and the salt stones could be picked up casually!
The difference between the two could be seen with a simple comparison.
Ying Zheng really wanted to pry open Meng Fan's head and see what exactly was inside.
Why was it that he could always think of something that others could not think of and was very valuable?
Seeing Ying Zheng staring at him, Meng Fan said embarrassedly,""Old Zhao, don't look at me like that. I know I'm very outstanding, but I'll still be shy if you look at me like that..."
Ying Zheng was speechless.
"Hehe, then how about I join the technology stock?”Meng Fan rubbed his hands and continued," It's like wine-making. I provide the technology, and you provide the manpower and financial resources. However, salt production technology is very important and far more profitable than wine-making, so I want at least 30% of the shares!"”
"Thirty percent?" Wang Jian's eyes widened." You brat only came up with a solution, and you want to take 30% of the shares for free?”
Meng Fan wasn't happy and immediately retorted,""Old Wang, that's not right. If it weren't for my skills, would you have made money? That can't be, right? So I don't need to say more about the importance of skills?”
Wang Jian still wanted to speak. He kept feeling that this kid was just talking, and he could sit back and enjoy 30% of the profits without investing any actual resources. It was also too comfortable.
Ying Zheng chuckled and stopped him from continuing. He turned to Meng Fan and said,""As long as little friend provides this technique to me and promises to only provide it to me, let alone 30%, even if it's 50%, so what?”
Ying Zheng had already made up his mind to take this opportunity to firmly grasp the source of income of salt in his hands!
He was going to take the rice bowl from the salt sellers all over the world and start to strictly control the salt business!
