After Qin Yun returned to Wannian County, he immediately went to the fields to check on the situation of the rice plantation.
When he came to the field, he found that the rice seedlings had already grown.
"It looks like it can be planted in a while.”
Sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes were planted under Li Shimin's arrangement.
Now, he was asking the people of Wannian County to plant rice.
Qin Yun believed that it would not be long before the Great Tang no longer had to worry about food.
Seeing that there were no problems with the rice planting, Qin Yun returned to his residence in Wannian County.
When he arrived outside the mansion, he saw a beautiful woman in black walking back and forth outside the mansion.
She was holding a wooden box filled with food in her hand, as if she was waiting for someone.
Qin Yun walked closer and realized that it was Zhangsun Wanting.
"Zhangsun Wanting, why are you here?”
Qin Yun, you're back."
Upon seeing Qin Yun, Zhangsun Wanting revealed a look of delight.
Qin Yun said," I just returned from Chang 'an. By the way, you haven't told me why you are here.”
"Did you forget what I told you last time?" Zhangsun Wanting smiled."We can practice cooking together when we have time."”
As she spoke, she handed the wooden box to Qin Yun and said with a smile,""Come, try these dishes I made.”
"Alright, let's go in first."
Immediately, Qin Yun led Zhangsun Wanting into the manor.
"By the way, does your father know that you're here?”
"Of course I know. My father said he would come to see you in two days."”
When the duo arrived at the hall, Qin Yun opened the lunchbox.
There were three dishes inside: stir-fried beans, stir-fried eggplant, and stir-fried cabbage.
Because there was no iron pot in the Tang Empire, the color of the dishes cooked by Zhangsun Wanting was not very good.
"These are my three best dishes.”
Qin Yun picked up his chopsticks and placed a slice of eggplant into his mouth.
According to the current situation in the Great Tang, Zhangsun Wanting's eggplant was considered top-grade.
However, Qin Yun could barely eat the eggplant.
After all, they lacked a lot of seasonings.
"How is it? Does it taste bad?"
Zhangsun Wanting asked when she saw Qin Yun's wooden expression.
Qin Yun said," It's not very bad. It just lacks some seasonings, so the taste is much worse. Also, the taste of salt seems a little bitter.”
"Isn't salt like this?" Zhangsun Wanting smiled.”
Apart from sea salt, places like Chang 'an also ate mineral salt and well salt.
Due to the backward technology of these two kinds of salt, the extracted salt was not very pure and had a bitter taste.
Qin Yun said," A good dish not only requires skill, but also depends on the condiments used. Follow me to the kitchen.”
Qin Yun had transmigrated to the Great Tang for fifteen years. He would sign in at the Daoist temple every day, so he naturally obtained quite a number of seasonings.
After bringing Zhangsun Wanting to the kitchen, Qin Yun found a few eggplants and said,""I'll make braised eggplant for you now.”
As he spoke, he began to operate under Zhangsun Wanting's gaze.
Zhangsun Wanting's expression was still very calm at first.
However, when she saw Qin Yun using some strange metal tools and adding various seasonings into the pot, her beautiful eyes widened.
This was the first time she had seen such a strange way of cooking.
After a while, the braised eggplant was out of the pot, and a rich fragrance wafted over.
"It smells so good!"
Zhangsun Wanting said in surprise.
Qin Yun said," The eggplant you stir-fried is considered very good in the Great Tang. However, it lacks seasonings and some unique methods of publicity. Therefore, the taste is much worse.”
As he spoke, Qin Yun picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed it to her.
"Try it now. How's the eggplant I stir-fried?”
Zhangsun Wanting couldn't hold it in any longer.
He took the chopsticks from Qin Yun and placed a piece of eggplant into his mouth.
The next moment, her eyes widened.
"It smells so good. Qin Yun, you're amazing.”
"Oh right, why isn't there a bitter taste?”
Qin Yun took out the salt he was using and said,""Because the salt I use is different from the one you use.”
Zhangsun Wanting stretched out her hand and wiped a little. She put it in front of her eyes to observe and said in surprise,"Why is this salt so fine?"
Qin Yun said," Actually, the Great Tang can also refine fine salt. Previously, it was because I had fine salt that I could not be bothered with it.”
"If you need it, I can help you refine some.”
"Alright!"
Zhangsun Wanting was naturally very happy.
" Then go find some well salt and mineral salt," said Qin Yun.”
With Qin Yun's help, Zhangsun Wanting quickly obtained a bag of fine salt.
"This fine salt should be enough for you to use for a period of time.”
"Yes."
After Zhangsun Wanting returned to Chang 'an with the fine salt, she began using the fine salt Qin Yun had given her to cook.
At this moment, she realized that the dishes stir-fried with fine salt tasted especially good.
"Wanting, what's going on today? Why do I feel that your cooking has suddenly improved a lot?”
While eating, Zhangsun Wuji looked at Zhangsun Wanting with a puzzled expression.
"Father, even you can taste it?" Zhangsun Wanting said with a smile.”
Zhangsun Wuji smiled and said,"Father eats your cooking every day. How can I not know?"”
Zhangsun Wanting said," I went to look for Qin Yun a few days ago. He refined some fine salt for me. He told me to add some when I cook. It will taste better.”
"Fine salt?"
Zhangsun Wuji raised his eyebrows.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen to get some for you."”
Soon, Zhangsun Wanting took a spoonful of fine salt from the kitchen and placed it in front of Zhangsun Wuji.
After Zhangsun Wuji saw the fine salt, he wiped it with his hand and placed it in front of his eyes to observe.
The next moment, he stood up abruptly.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Zhangsun Wanting asked with a puzzled expression.
Zhangsun Wuji laughed." Little Abbey Dean, you're really good at hiding your skills. You can refine such fine salt, but you didn't tell me or His Majesty."”
"Maybe he feels that you don't need it!”
"No, I really do."
Zhangsun Wuji looked at the fine salt in his hand and said,""With such fine salt, who would eat coarse salt?”
The taste of coarse salt was bitter and astringent. Who would be willing to eat it?
"No, I'll go find him now and ask him to tell me how to refine fine salt.”
If this matter was completed, Zhangsun Wuji felt that it would be another great merit.
"Father, wait for me. I'll go with you.”
The father and daughter didn't even eat before leaving the mansion and heading to Wannian County.
