Chapter 164 The King of Chu was shocked.
Two hours had passed by the time Qi Pan put down his pen and turned off his phone.
When she looked up, she saw Ying Zheng and Fusu were still there, and was stunned for a moment.
"Hey? Brother, you guys haven't left yet?"
Fusu, whose butt was sore from sitting so hard, felt aggrieved when he heard this.
"Sir, we have been sitting here waiting for you for a long time, and you are going to send us away as soon as you are done?"
Qi Pan: "No, I just forgot the time for a moment."
"I heard you guys make noises too. I thought you guys had left a long time ago."
She really wasn't chasing anyone away.
Once she gets busy, she becomes more absorbed in her work and tends to ignore the people and things around her.
Of course Ying Zheng knew that Qi Pan didn't mean that, so he placed a cup of warm tea in front of Qi Pan.
"Sir, you've been writing for a long time. You must be tired, right? Have some tea first."
Qi Pan: "Okay, thank you brother."
She shook her wrist, then used her other hand to hold the teacup and took a sip.
"Sir, we came here this time to tell you about the salt making incident last time."
Ying Zheng said, "The recipe you gave me is excellent, and the fine salt you made is of very good quality."
"I brought some over here, can you take a look, sir?"
As soon as the can of fine salt was ready, he brought some over.
Qi Pan immediately said, "Okay."
Xia Lin walked quickly forward and put a box on the table.
The box was opened, revealing a cloth bag.
Ying Zheng took out the cloth bag, untied it and handed it to Qi Pan.
"Sir, please look."
Qipan took the bag and looked inside.
Hey!
The fine white salt filled an entire cloth bag.
She reached out and grabbed a little, twisting it between her fingers.
"It's really good. The purity is comparable to the ones I brought here."
After hearing this, a smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
"Thanks to the recipe provided by you, otherwise we wouldn't be able to make such fine salt."
Qipan tied the pocket of the cloth bag tightly and put it back into the box.
"It's all thanks to your efforts. Otherwise, no matter how good my recipe is, I can't make something like this."
"Okay brother, stop being so modest."
"We are one family, so we don't use that kind of tricks."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng stopped refusing and said, "Hahaha, OK, sir, you should just do it."
"By the way, sir, do you want to go out and play in a few days?"
"I'll take you to the night market in Xianyang."
Ok?
night market?
Qi Pan thought about it and finally refused.
"No, I won't go for now. I'm a little busy recently."
"We need to copy down all this information first."
Ying Zheng: "Alright, if you want to go out and play, please let me know."
"I can come pick you up too."
Qi Pan nodded: "Okay."
..........
Fine salt was produced at the salt fields in batches and sent from Xianyang to the surrounding counties.
Every official and common people has a copy.
Everyone was amazed at the fine salt.
I am grateful for the salt-making recipe that Qi Pan provided.
Kneel down to thank Ying Zheng for his compassion for the people.
A remote village.
In a dilapidated thatched house.
A skinny young woman with a sallow face and no life was lying on the hay in the corner.
She was barely breathing, looking at her daughter.
"Mom doesn't eat it, so you eat it."
Her eyes were full of forbearance and restraint.
The little girl looked to be about seven or eight years old, with a skinny face and dry and yellow hair that was piled on her head like weeds.
Her eyes were exceptionally bright, and her tiny hands were holding a bowl.
The bowl was filled with porridge with almost no rice grains visible.
She put the bowl close to the woman's mouth, "Mom, eat a little."
"You haven't eaten for two days. If you don't eat, you'll starve to death."
Woman: "I'm not hungry, you can eat."
An old woman suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, "Hurry, hurry, the government office is distributing salt!"
"Let's go get the salt! If we're late, it will be gone!"
what?
Collect salt? ?
The young woman was startled and half straightened up.
"Aunt, what did you say? What do you mean by collecting salt?"
The old woman said, "The government office has posted a notice saying that starting today, salt will be distributed to us free of charge for three consecutive days."
"It's free! Each person gets a pound of fine salt!"
"I heard that this is the same salt that His Majesty eats in the palace. It's snow-white!"
When the young woman heard this, she was so shocked that she stood up shakily!
"Aunt! Are you serious?!"
"Are you really giving out salt for free? No money?!"
Old woman: "Really, really! Don't you know who I am?"
"Why would I use such a big thing to appease you two?"
"Alright, alright, stop standing there, hurry up and bring your daughter with you, let's go get the salt."
As she spoke, she put her hand on the young woman's arm.
"I'm telling you, this salt is for everyone, you and your daughter can get some."
"With these two portions of salt, you can dig some wild vegetables every day, and you can survive even if you drink salt water."
"After eating salt, you will have strength and can find some work to do."
"As long as we can survive, there is still hope."
The young woman felt a little sad when she heard this.
Daya held her mother's arms with both hands, and together with her aunt, helped her out of the thatched hut.
They live in a remote place, with only two or three families around.
When the villagers heard the news, they rushed to the government office and lined up to get salt.
The old woman came back to tell the young woman and Daya that she couldn't bear to see them starve to death.
When the three of them arrived at the government office.
The street in front of the government office was already crowded with people.
The old woman supported the young woman and found a queue to follow.
Daya stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to look forward.
I can't see anything either.
There were crowds of people in front of her, and she could only see their shoulders and backs.
She turned to look at the old woman next to her, "Grandma, can I get salt by queuing here?"
The old woman was looking up at the officials who were distributing salt in front of the government office.
Hearing Daya's question, he lowered his head and replied.
"Yes, let's line up here and wait until it's our turn, then we can get the salt."
"You and your mother's identification documents must be kept safe."
"Each household and each person can only receive it once. If you lose the voucher, you can't receive it."
Daya: "Okay, I understand, grandma."
"Thank you, grandma. I'll keep the voucher."
The small, skinny hands tightly grasped the object in their hands.
It's like grasping at straws.
............
Chu State.
The spy reported, "Your Majesty, Qin has developed fine salt!"
"It is a fine, white salt that can be eaten by the army and the people. It is non-toxic and harmless!"
The King of Chu was shocked: "What?!"
"Fine salt? Non-toxic and harmless?"
"How could there be such salt in the world?!"
"The salt used in my palace is still slightly toxic. How can the King of Qin make non-toxic salt?"
Spy: “This is true!”
"I was in Qin State and saw it with my own eyes!"
