Chapter 161 9 Deliver fine salt to the imperial kitchen.
The cook in charge shouted, "Wake up!"
"What's so dazzling? This is salt!"
"It's fine salt!"
"It's the fine salt given to us by His Majesty and Sir!"
"Starting tomorrow, we will no longer use coarse salt in our food!"
"Change to this snow-white fine salt!"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked!
"What?! We're going to use fine salt tomorrow?!"
"Or was it given by His Majesty and Sir?!"
Everyone shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Sir!!!"
........
the next day.
Early in the morning.
The soldiers received today's food, and the moment they took a bite, they felt that the taste was not right.
There is always a bitter taste in the meals we eat.
Today, it’s gone!
Apart from the unique aroma of the food, there is only a faint sweetness of the food.
"Strange, why is the food so delicious today?"
"Yes, it tastes fragrant and sweet, and it's very different from the past."
The soldiers looked at the food in their hands, with more doubts in their eyes.
"This grain is still the same grain, why does it taste different?"
"Is my tongue damaged?"
"Yeah, could it be that our tongues are all broken?"
A group of tall and strong men stared at each other.
Looking at the cook passing by, one of them grabbed his arm.
"Hey! Don't leave yet!"
"Tell us, what's going on?"
"Why does the food today taste different?"
Even though he was being stared at by a group of soldiers, the cook remained calm.
He slightly struggled to free his grasped arm, "Let go first."
"This matter has to start from when General Nineteen came here yesterday."
what?
Nineteenth General?
The man asked, "What does this meal have to do with General Nineteen?"
Cook: "Yes, it is very relevant."
"You don't know, General Nineteen came yesterday and brought a lot of things with him."
"Guess what it is?"
Men: “What?”
"Speak quickly! Don't show off!"
Cook: "Hey, hey, hey, don't be impatient, I'm just talking about this."
"That General Nineteen brought several large buckets of the snow-white stuff."
what?
Something snow-white?
How many barrels are left?
The man said, "No, what does this meal have to do with something white as snow?"
"There's nothing white as snow in our food."
Seeing that the soldiers were getting angry, the cook spoke quickly.
"Yes, I have!"
"There is something snow-white in the food you eat!"
The men were stunned.
"what?"
"Is there something snow-white in the food we eat?"
Everyone looked at the food in their hands.
"Are you bluffing me?"
"Where is the snow-white thing in this meal?"
"That's right. My eyesight is very good. I can see clearly."
"Don't try to fool us!"
Cook: "I didn't lie to you."
"That snow-white thing is salt, fine salt. It will dissolve in food, so of course you can't see it."
what?
Salt?
Fine salt?
Snow-white fine salt? ?
The men: "What is fine salt? How come I didn't know there was fine salt?"
"That's right. The salt we eat every day is already excellent."
"The salt used by His Majesty in the palace is called fine salt. Is the salt we use the same as that in the palace?"
Everyone was confused.
The fine salt in the palace is supplied in limited quantities and at regular times.
Only Your Majesty can eat it.
The salt they ate in the army on a daily basis was the same as that eaten by ministers and nobles in the court.
This is already the result of Your Majesty's great efforts to replenish the military supplies and fodder so that they can have food.
Fine salt...
They don't even dare to think about it.
Cook: "It's really fine salt."
"It's finer salt than the one your Majesty eats in the palace."
"I heard from General Nineteen that this is the recipe that you came up with, and His Majesty specially ordered people to develop it urgently."
"The only fine salt in the palace!"
The soldiers were shocked!
"What? Salt that's even finer than the salt His Majesty eats in the palace?!"
"Or is it the recipe that the gentleman came up with?"
"Your Majesty ordered it to be developed urgently?"
The cook said, "This salt was not even eaten by your Majesty, but was first sent to the army."
"This is the first batch of fine salt produced by the salt field. Your Majesty really cares about you."
"I haven't even eaten anything yet, so I'll bring it to you first."
The cook has been busy till now, but has not had a bite of hot food yet.
"Okay, I'm going to go eat some food first. I haven't eaten yet after working so hard for you for so long."
The cooks always distributed food to the soldiers first, and only after they had distributed the food did it come to them.
Usually what is eaten is shared.
It also avoids waste.
If there is not enough food, they will set up a small stove and cook some for themselves.
But the food is the same as that of the soldiers.
There is no such thing as secretly adding extra food.
After the cook left, the soldiers were still standing there in a daze.
You gave them the fine salt that Your Majesty hasn't even eaten yet?
How fortunate they are to have Your Majesty as their monarch!
They are willing to charge into battle for Your Majesty!
Throw your head away!!
Spill blood!!!
Batches of fine salt from the salt field were sent to the palace and the army after they were developed.
It was then distributed uniformly to various places from the palace.
Imperial Room.
Xiang Heliang received the news early in the morning.
They said that a batch of fine salt would be delivered today.
He was waiting at the door of the kitchen with a few palace servants.
From a distance, I saw Nineteen with a few soldiers pushing a cart towards me.
There were also wooden barrels loaded on the cart.
Xiang Heliang's eyes lit up and he quickly took a few steps forward.
"Hey, General Nineteen, what kind of fine salt is this?"
"Why bother you to deliver it in person?"
On weekdays, there are special people in charge of purchasing in the palace.
Even the salt used in the palace was delivered to them on a regular basis by special people from the salt fields.
Why is it that today, someone has changed?
And this is not the day to deliver salt.
There are still several barrels of salt in their kitchen that have not been touched.
Nineteen said, "This is the mission that His Majesty has assigned to me. How dare I not take it seriously?"
"These are the latest fine salts. You should use this salt from now on."
Nineteen ordered the soldiers to take the wooden barrels off the cart.
what?
The latest developed fine salt?
Xiang Heliang looked at the wooden barrels being carried down one by one.
He took a step forward and craned his neck to take a look.
I saw a piece of white cloth covering the bucket.
I can't see what's underneath.
He reached out curiously and uncovered the white cloth.
The next moment, his eyes suddenly widened!
"This, this, this.......is this salt???"
This thing that is as white as snow is salt? ?
Several palace maids nearby also secretly stretched their necks to look forward.
When they saw what was in the bucket, their eyes widened in shock.
A look of disbelief.
