Chapter 240 Catch and eat thieves
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan and Guan Fengxue's eyes widened immediately, and then they saw a little bit of crystal salt slowly precipitating from the pot.
But because the water is still boiling and the amount of salt is too small, nothing can be seen yet.
However, this made a few people cheer up and stare at the pot seriously, for fear of missing any details.
The sun gradually slipped down until sunset and night fell. Only then did a few people realize the passage of time.
During this period, Liu Shishi came once and wanted to invite the three of them to dinner. It was obvious that the three of them were so serious that they didn't bother them again.
The dark night did not affect their enthusiasm. The three of them quickly lit the oil lamps and watched the process of the refined salt appearing.
Nowadays, there is more and more salt in the pot, and it can be faintly seen that the new salt is whiter and more delicate than coarse salt.
Finally, as the last bit of water evaporated, only white salt remained in the pot.
"This salt... is so pure!"
With a look of shock on her face, Wu Fengxue picked up the wooden spoon next to her and dug out a small portion.
Different from the salt on the market, the refined salt they make has smaller particles and looks white and flawless, like bright little gems.
He took a deep breath. Although he didn't know how the salt tasted, the appearance alone and the name of it being good for the body were enough to cause the aristocracy to rush for it.
Lin Xiaofan really only used ash and stones to further purify the salt.
He understood that from this moment on, Daqian Country's salt production industry would probably fall into the hands of the Zhao family and Lin Xiaofan.
Looking at the white particles in the wooden spoon, Liu Sisi's face was also full of shock.
Her husband once again refreshed her understanding.
"Brother Wu, I am willing to admit defeat. From now on, you will be mine."
Lin Xiaofan patted Wu Fengxue on the shoulder, with a satisfied smile on his face.
When the salt production industry is started, even if he does nothing in the future, he will receive hundreds of thousands of silver every year.
"Don't worry, Counselor Lin. I, Guan Fengxue, will naturally not default on your debt. From now on, I will always follow you. But let's make an agreement first, and we have to take care of the food."
Wu Fengxue joked.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't miss you."
Lin Xiaofan said with a smile.
While they were talking, Liu Sisi's stomach suddenly growled.
Only then did a few people realize that they were too focused and hadn't had time to eat dinner.
After a busy afternoon, I was already hungry, but I was too focused just now to notice it.
"Look, I have forgotten to eat. Wait, I will use this refined salt to make it for you."
Lin Xiaofan said. I just took this opportunity to try it, how about cooking with this refined salt.
Although he hasn't cooked for nearly a month, he doesn't feel unfamiliar.
"Okay, husband, I'll give you a hand."
Liu Sisi was so excited that she almost jumped up. She hasn't eaten food cooked by her husband for a long time.
"Okay, Counselor Lin, let me see your skills."
Guan Fengxue on the side joked, but he didn't think Lin Xiaofan could make a good meal.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, even if he started learning from his mother's womb, would not be able to master the art of war, make weapons, refine salt, and cook well at the same time.
But soon, he gave up his thoughts.
I saw Lin Xiaofan making various stir-fries, and he didn't look like someone who couldn't cook at all.
A hint of disbelief flashed in Wu Fengxue's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
Perhaps Lin Xiaofan had shocked him so many times that he had become numb.
He was very curious about how Lin Xiaofan's brain grew.
After a while, a scent came from the pot, making him swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
"smell good!"
The flavor of the food made with this refined salt is much better than ordinary food.
Not long after, Lin Xiaofan had already cooked three or four dishes.
"Brother Lin, stop doing it and eat it quickly."
Wu Fengxue's face was full of begging.
The food was too delicious and he hadn't eaten for a long time. Now he just wanted to have a big fight.
"Okay, let's get started."
When Lin Xiaofan heard this, he also called it a day.
Four or five dishes were enough for three people, and now he was also very hungry.
In the living room, the three of them lit oil lamps and started eating.
"Well, this tastes amazing!"
"It's been a long time since I had such a delicious meal."
"Brother Lin, with this salt, you can definitely dominate the salt trade of the entire Daqian Kingdom. No, the salt trade of the entire world can be in your hands."
"There's still a long way to go."
The three of them talked quietly.
In a room, Zhao Shan rubbed her forehead, her eyes full of fatigue.
Looking up at the sky, the moon was already rising high, but she still had a lot of things to deal with and had to get up early tomorrow.
"Miss, it's getting late, let's take a rest early."
The maid in pink clothes stood aside, holding the jade sword, so sleepy that she shed tears.
"Xiaoxuan, just go and rest first."
Zhao Shan gently touched the little maid's head.
"I don't, I want to stay with the lady."
The maid in pink patted her face and forced herself to cheer up. But soon, she fell into a deep sleep again.
Suddenly, her little nose sniffed a few times, her eyes lit up and she said:
"Miss, why do I suddenly smell the aroma of food?"
"fragrance?"
Zhao Shan also tried her best to sniff a few times, but didn't smell anything, so she said:
"Maybe you're hungry, why don't you go find something to eat?"
Hearing this, the maid in pink clothes shook her head firmly:
"No, miss. I may have smelled something else wrong, but I can never smell the smell of this food wrong. Someone is definitely eating it secretly in this winter courtyard!"
Zhao Shan heard the words and sniffed a few more times, and this time she could really smell the fragrance.
"How does this food taste so good? And it shouldn't be far from us."
As she spoke, she sniffed it lingeringly a few more times, and her stomach growled. She has been too busy these days and has not had a good meal for a long time.
Hearing this, the maid in pink suddenly realized and analyzed:
"I know, it must be Lin Xiaofan, who secretly eats good food behind our backs! This afternoon, he suddenly said that he was going to do something big, and asked me, a kid, not to follow him. When we ate tonight, he didn't come either. Want to come? He is so hungry now that he is eating secretly."
"He did it behind your back?"
When Zhao Shan heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Thinking again about the conversation between the two at noon today and the strong smell of rice, could it be that Lin Xiaofan had already made this refined salt?
"Come on, let's go have a look."
Zhao Shan stood up immediately, her eyes full of expectation.
She is still very concerned about the production of refined salt.
"Come on, let's catch this thief."
The maid in pink clothes stood up, no sleepiness at all, and there was a bit of anger in her big eyes.
She followed Lin Xiaofan for more than twenty days, but when he was having a delicious meal, Lin Xiaofan didn't even call her.
