As a result, Qin Yu did not do so. Instead, he moved a large amount of mineral salt here and prepared so many strange things, saying that he wanted to refine some refined salt.
"That's right, this is exactly the solution to the salt crisis that this prince mentioned. It's refined from rock salt. The refined salt not only tastes great, but is also cleaner than clear salt!"
"Eating it is also good for the body!"
Qin Yu said.
"Mineral salt is poisonous salt. Are you sure that after you refine it, it will become better than pure salt?"
Xue Rongrong didn't believe it.
Qing salt is the best quality salt. It is the salt that the noble families pay tribute to the emperor for his use. In the whole Daliang, only the most noble noble families can eat it.
"Don't worry, with refined salt, no one will eat coarse salt or clear salt anymore!"
Qin Yu said.
Then he ordered people to start refining refined salt. He also found a large number of workers from the city and ordered them to build houses in this area.
From now on, this will be a large salt refining workshop, and this one alone will be a super workshop that can meet the daily needs of the people of Daliang!
As the workers began to refine the salt, they produced a hundred kilograms in less than half an hour. Qin Yu grabbed some and put it in a jar, and ordered someone to send it to the imperial capital.
Then, he took some more and gave it to Xue Rongrong, saying, "Try it."
Xue Rongrong was half-believing and half-doubting. To be honest, she really didn't dare to eat anything extracted from mineral salt.
Seeing that Xue Rongrong didn't move for a long time, Qin Yu smiled slightly and picked up a small amount and put it in his mouth.
"Yeah! It tastes good!"
Qin Yu said with a look of enjoyment.
After traveling through time for so long, this was the first time he tasted refined salt. This long-lost taste was simply intoxicating to him!
"I have to stir-fry some greens tonight!"
Qin Yu said to himself.
He originally wanted to make a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but for some reason, Daliang didn't even have tomatoes!
But think about it, tomatoes were introduced from foreign countries. Daliang has never launched a war against the surrounding foreign countries, and those foreign countries would not pay tribute to such an inconspicuous crop as tomatoes for no reason. Therefore, Daliang still has no tomatoes!
Qin Yu decided that once he had completely stabilized in the southern border, he would send people to the surrounding countries to look for tomatoes!
"What are small green vegetables?"
Xue Rongrong asked in a deep voice.
"Bobo is a kind of vegetable. You should have seen it before."
Qin Yu said.
Afterwards, he took Xue Rongrong to find Xiao Qingcai. When Xue Rongrong saw what Xiao Qingcai was, she was completely shocked.
"Isn't this for feeding pigs?"
Xue Rongrong was speechless.
In her impression, this is not a vegetable at all, but something that someone grows specifically to feed pigs.
What Xue Rongrong didn't know was that when the Xue family was at its peak, they were also an aristocratic family, so naturally they looked down on vegetables like bok choy.
Therefore, she has never eaten it. However, this vegetable is a favorite of ordinary people because it is very easy to grow. If you grow too much and can't sell it, you can feed it to pigs. It is economical and affordable!
"Who told you this is for pigs? It tastes amazing when stir-fried!"
Qin Yu said.
He was a big fan of bok choy, so how could he tolerate someone saying that bok choy was used to feed pigs? He immediately took Xue Rongrong back and fried a plate of bok choy for her!
