"The point, this is the point you're talking about, brother Chu Bi? The point is, is your method of making salt any good?!"
Cheng Chubi looked at Li Chengqian with some surprise. "The method of making salt, isn't it just for better taste?"
If it weren't for the sake of making it taste better, who would have the time to play with salt, and she's not a three-year-old child.
However, filling ant holes with salt water is also a very useful method. I have done this before when I was a child. The effect of salt water on ants is much better than that of tap water, but not as good as alcohol.
That thing was very destructive, but it cost money. At that time, Cheng Chubi only dared to pour two ounces quietly to test the effect, and did not dare to adjust it more.
Otherwise, if grandpa knew that he was using his precious wine to fill ant holes, he would have suffered a lot of physical and mental suffering.
After hearing this, Li Chengqian, who didn't know how to express his feelings, felt like his pussy was about to burst.
He couldn't help but put some salt in his mouth and sipped it carefully. Next to him, Ning Zhong and Eunuch Deng also frequently pinched the salt and put it in their mouths, marveling at it.
Cheng Chubi looked at the three of them with a dark look on his face. "You just eat it like this, don't you think it tastes bad? This is salt, not sugar."
Li Chengqian frowned and asked Cheng Chubi.
"Brother Chu Bi, if those bitter salts or even poisonous salts are used, can we use some method to make them edible?"
"Of course there is no problem. The so-called bitter salt and poisonous salt must be because there are too many impurities in it.
As long as you use my method, you can naturally remove those impurities and harmful substances to the greatest extent and make it edible."
Cheng Chubi said matter-of-factly. He was a medical student after all, so he naturally understood these principles.
"If this is true, it will really be a blessing to the people of the world." Li Chengqian sighed softly and said seriously to Cheng Chubi.
"Brother Chu Bi, come on, tell me your method of making salt again, and I will copy it down.
Let’s go see my father later and bring both kinds of salt.”
"Your Highness, the salt sent by General Cheng, I want to take some to Chef Deng first. It's almost noon..."
"Yeah, that's fine."

In the Imperial Palace, the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin, who had just finished the court meeting, was happily sipping chrysanthemum tea that could clear fire, improve eyesight, and nourish health.
While admiring the copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that I had just received, I was very excited when I heard the report.
The two guys, the prince and Cheng Chubi, came over again and said they had something important to see.
Li Shimin reluctantly put down the book in his hand and sat up straight. He was really curious. Could it be related to pig raising in the East Palace?
"My son, I will meet my father." Li Chengqian was helped by Ning Zhong into the back of Ganlu Hall and saluted his father.
"Cheng Qian, there is no need to be polite. Come over here and sit down. Cheng Sanlang, have you brought food to Xiao Sizi again?"
Li Shimin's eyes quickly shifted from the prince to Cheng Chubi, who was holding a salt shaker in one hand and an oil paper bag in the other.
"???" Cheng Chubi looked at the salt shaker and a paper bag of salt in his hand with a confused look on his face. God gives you food, so you are not afraid that your daughter will be fooled...
Li Chengqian also blinked with a strange expression and quickly explained.
"Father, father, these are not food, these are salt."
"Salt? What are you doing to get salt for me?" Li Shimin said somewhat unhappily.
Li Chengqian put the salt jar and the oil paper bag on the table, and opened the oil paper bag as he spoke.
"Father, look, this is the salt we eat every day, and this is the salt made by Brother Chu Bi..."
"Oh, Cheng Sanlang, I think you are really suitable to be a cook. You raise pigs and make... the salt you made?"
Li Shimin was cheerfully joking about Cheng Chubi at first, but when he saw the salt as white as snowflakes in the opened oil paper bag, his face froze.
"Yes, my nephew made it." Cheng Chubi sat next to him and looked at Uncle Li's expression.
Well, it looks very solemn, as if it is not salt but a pile of good treasures.
Li Shimin reached out and picked up some, put it in his mouth and smashed it on his face for a long time, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
"This salt... is not bitter, just salty..."
"Uncle, you swallowed too much. It won't work if you don't eat it." Cheng Chubi thinks it's not the salt that's the problem, but your intake.
Li Shimin glared at this dumb bastard with a black look on his face. "Is this the point?!"
Seeing Uncle Li's look, Cheng Chubi had already had a lot of dealings with this ill-tempered emperor.
I knew very well that at this time I couldn't go against the grain, I could only stroke along the way, so I nodded my head vigorously and said seriously.
"Yes, yes, that's not the point. The point is the method of making salt..."
"...You're a smart kid." Li Shimin quickly picked up the chrysanthemum tea and took a big sip. Damn it, he caught a lot of it when he was excited. It was so exciting.
Li Chengqian rubbed his almost cramped belly and said again to Li Shimin.
"Brother Chu Bi told the boy that with his method of making salt, even those bitter and poisonous salts can be made edible."
Li Shimin shook his head in disbelief, glanced at Cheng Chubi, and really didn't know how to praise this kid.
In other words, Cheng Laosan always brings himself surprises one after another.
There are so many surprises that I don’t even know how to express them.
"How did you come up with the idea of making salt?"
"Uncle, nephew, I am a doctor. I need to make salt water to treat wounds of patients. If the quality of the salt water is impure, the effect will be greatly reduced."
"So, nephew, I tried repeatedly to make the salt cleaner and have fewer impurities, and the result is like this."
Li Shimin took the recipe handed to him by Li Chengqian, which described in detail how to make salt. It was very simple.
"With this method, can even poisonous salt and bitter salt really become edible salt?"
"My nephew has never seen poisonous salt, but he knows about bitter salt. These salts are made from bitter salt.
After all, my nephew is a doctor and uses a lot of salt to make brine. For cost reasons, he specially bought those bitter salts to make it."
"...Cheng Sanlang, a high-ranking official, is actually so frugal and careful with his budget." Li Shimin gave Cheng Chubi a rare compliment.
Cheng Chubi really didn't like hearing this, so he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"My nephew, I can't help it. Our old Cheng family won't receive much salary in a year."
With a puff, Li Chengqian turned his face quickly. After all, it was not good to laugh at Brother Chu Bi in public, but he really couldn't help it.
Zhao Kun, who was standing aside, said hey hey hey several times before he could hold back. For some reason, he just felt that this kid's words were too funny.
Li Shimin pointed at Cheng Chubi, dumbfounded. "Can you blame me for this?"
