Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

"Everyone relax, don't be nervous, move your chopsticks!"

In the restaurant, Zhao Che sat at the head, Li Liu and others sat down in turn, and the table was full of dishes.

"You can pick whatever dishes you want, there are not so many rules!"

Zhao Che greeted, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his bowl.

After seeing Zhao Che move his chopsticks, other people dared to follow him to pick up food.

"Hiss, this vegetable can produce such a delicious taste."

"And this grate meat, why is it not smelly at all, fat but not greasy, and has a slight sweetness."

"So this is the real gourmet food? We have studied cooking for so many years, and what is it made?"

……

Afterwards, the entire dining table fell into silence, only the sound of burying one's head in the food, and the sound of chopsticks and dishes colliding one after another.

In order to take care of Li Liu and the others, Zhao Che deliberately increased the portion of the dishes. The steamed buns that were steamed before were all reheated, and there were dozens of them.

But after a meal, so much food was not wasted at all, and it all went into everyone's mouths.

"Everyone is full!"

"I'm full, thank you teacher for your hospitality. This is the best meal the student has had since he was born."

"Me too. I feel that after eating this meal, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat the meals I made before."

……

After the meal, Li Liu and the other cooks took the initiative to clean up the dining table, and then formally enshrined Zhao Che as a teacher to learn cooking skills from him.

Originally, apprenticeship required Shu Xiu, but Zhao Che didn't have so many rules here, so it was naturally exempted.

Zhao Che simply threw a cookbook and asked Li Liu and the others to explore by themselves, and practice their basic skills by the way.

After Li Liu and the others got the cookbook, they felt like a treasure. They felt that they had never studied so seriously in their life, and they wished they could study it 24 hours a day.

Zhao Che was busy training chefs, and Wang Jian's progress was not slow. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Ying Zheng brought back so many good things from Zhao Che, and almost immediately mobilized all the power he could use to attack those advanced technologies.

Fortunately, Huangtian paid off, everyone worked hard for such a long time, and finally got a good result.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest fine salt produced according to the salt-making technique of the young master!"

In Xianyang Palace, Meng Yi presented a small jar of salt to Ying Zheng.

The salt in the jar is crystal clear and white, like pure white snow, delicate and crystal clear.

Ying Zheng twisted some with his fingers, put it in his mouth and smacked it twice.

"Not bad!"

After a while, Ying Zheng opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

The quality of these refined salts is slightly inferior to the one Zhao Che brought out, both in terms of appearance and taste.

After all, the art of making salt seems simple, and even Zhao Che has written down the detailed process, but some of the more complicated techniques are beyond their comprehension, let alone imitation.

Therefore, these refined salts were newly produced after simplifying Zhao Che's salt-making techniques.

But this refined salt is much better than the one they used before.

You know, in the past, even the salt that Ying Zheng ate was dark yellow with a bitter taste.

The food eaten by the Guishou people at the bottom is even more unbearable. It is not only unpalatable, but also has some serious toxicity. Long-term consumption will cause various discomforts in the human body.

But such things as salt can be regarded as the necessities of life, and people who do not eat salt have no energy at all.

Moreover, that kind of refined salt with weaker toxicity and more refined craftsmanship is also very expensive, which is naturally not affordable for ordinary Qianshou.

But now it's better, with the salt-making technique presented by Zhao Che, not only the cost and difficulty of making refined salt are greatly reduced, but the quality has been improved so much.

On a larger scale, this is a heavy weapon that benefits the country and the people.

"Salt making and iron smelting are the foundation of our Great Qin Dynasty. They must not be leaked. Anyone who violates them will be destroyed!"

Ying Zheng put down the salt jar and gave Meng Yi instructions.

"Here!"

Meng Yi naturally knew the importance of this, and Ying Zheng had already warned those people without saying anything.

"That Nizi also said that if you want every Guizhou capital in Daqin to eat refined salt, then do as he said and keep the price as low as possible."

Ying Zheng ordered.

The necessities of life such as salt and food are best held in the hands of the state, which is the most appropriate approach.

Especially in ancient times when various resources were scarce, once any natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred, the prices of these resources might skyrocket.

Therefore, only by controlling these daily necessities in person can the price be maintained and market fluctuations kept within a controllable range.

In terms of food, it is temporarily out of control until Zhao Che takes out the potatoes, but this refined salt can be promoted.

The next day.

Yingzheng's order was quickly issued. Qin Teng, the governor of Gyeonggi, also served as the governor of Su, and established a chamber of commerce called Daqin Salt Company, which was responsible for selling refined salt.

At the same time, Shangqing Mengyi received the order, took action decisively, and used iron and blood methods to seize hundreds of caravans secretly selling private salt, many of which were even involved with officials in the court.

Yingzheng's sudden move caused quite a stir in Xianyang City and even the whole of Great Qin. Many officials were involved and had a great impact.

There are also some officials, after hearing the news, their faces changed drastically.
