Quick Wear: A Newbie Goes to Pet Her Husband

Chapter 156 Salt Making

Lin Qingyan, who had been starving for a long time, finally had her first meal in this strange world. However, she was accustomed to all kinds of modern delicacies, so she had no appetite at all for the meals prepared by the cook.

Not only do these dishes look terrible, they also have no aroma at all.

"Hey!" Lin Qingyan suddenly had an idea, "I can definitely open a restaurant! Hahaha, isn't this a good way to make money?"

Thinking of this, the extremely excited Lin Qingyan immediately picked up the chopsticks happily, picked up one of the pieces of meat and put it into her mouth to chew, but she spat it out the next second.

"This salt hasn't even dissolved yet, it's so salty it tastes bitter! Salt! God is really helping me!"

The salt of this era was basically official salt, controlled by the royal family. It would definitely be unrealistic to compete with the royal family for the big cake of the salt industry, but she could make fine salt and take it to negotiate with the empress. In this way, the matter of opening a restaurant could be put on hold for the time being.

Thinking of Ling Nianxiao who was still waiting in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Qingyan was full of motivation and energy. So, after she hurriedly finished her meal, she immediately set out on the road to the beach.

However, it was not easy to reach the destination. After all, the land of women was not near the sea. After going through untold hardships, racking her brains, and even using all her skills, Lin Qingyan finally arrived at the Martial Arts Island on the tenth day.

The geographical location here is unique, surrounded by the sea on three sides, which is undoubtedly an excellent place to produce sea salt. Unfortunately, all these sea areas are under the jurisdiction of Budo Island. If you want to produce salt on a large scale here, you can imagine how difficult it is.

Despite this, Lin Qingyan was not discouraged. She decided to try to make some high-quality fine salt and bring it back to the palace to present to the Queen. As for whether this precious sea area is worth developing and utilizing, it is entirely up to the Queen to decide - it has nothing to do with her! Anyway, she only needs to focus on the salt-making process.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyan couldn't help but reveal a sly smile. Then, she quickly took action: first, she rented a house by the sea as a temporary base; then she set about building a stove to prepare for salt production. Not only that, the two loyal followers were not spared at this moment, and she used them as free labor.

Making salt is indeed not an easy task. Even with the cooperation of Lin Qingyan and the death warriors, it took them ten days to produce a small amount of fine salt. Lin Qingyan left a death warrior behind and gave her some money, asking her to continue making salt here. Then, Lin Qingyan led another death warrior to gallop back to Jinguodi.

Along the way, Lin Qingyan's joy was beyond words, but because she did not inform anyone when she left, a conspiracy against her was unfolding in Jinguodi.

On the third day after Lin Qingyan left, Ye Jianrong and Li Baoli carefully planned and sent someone to have dinner at the restaurant run by Lin Qingyan.

Unexpectedly, this person had just finished his meal and had not yet stepped out of the store when he suddenly foamed at the mouth and fainted on the ground.

This sudden change terrified the shopkeeper. You know, the most taboo thing for a restaurant is to be considered as having unclean food. He hurriedly sent the patient to the clinic for treatment and sent servants to the Lin Mansion to look for Lin Qingyan.

However, the reply he got was that Lin Qingyan was not at home. With nothing else to do, the shopkeeper had to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person for help.

After some effort, Ling Nianxiao was finally invited. When Ling Nianxiao arrived at the restaurant, he found that Ye Jianrong and Li Baoli were leading a large group of people to surround the place.

The two of them sat leisurely at the dining table in the middle of the restaurant. When they saw Ling Nianxiao coming, the smiles on their faces became even brighter.

"Sir, why doesn't your wife come?" Ye Jianrong sat on a long bench in a carefree manner, gently waving the folding fan in his hand, with his other foot raised up and placed on the bench in an indecent manner. He looked like a rogue and a gangster.

Facing such a rude person, Ling Nianxiao naturally would not look at her in a good face, so he simply ignored the other party's question and asked directly: "Tell me! What exactly do you want to do?"

In fact, on the way to this restaurant, Ling Nianxiao had already learned some information about this restaurant from the owner.

According to the shopkeeper, she has been following Lin Qingyan for five or six years, and over the years, she has been working diligently and wholeheartedly to run the restaurant. It can be said that she has poured all her efforts into it.

When the shopkeeper heard Ling Nianxiao mention the unclean food, he assured him solemnly that such a thing would never happen in his restaurant.

At this moment, thinking about the two people sitting here without any concealment, Ling Nianxiao already understood in his heart - someone must be deliberately slandering him!

Sure enough, Ye Jianrong was heard continuing to wave her folding fan and saying with a flattering smile: "Hehehe... We don't have any other ideas. We just simply miss you, so we want you to accompany us two sisters~" Her words were full of teasing and frivolity.

"Hmph! I don't even know how big your face is!" A slightly majestic female voice came from the door.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look towards the door, and saw a man in court robes, still with an official aura, walking into the store. This man was Ling Yao, who had just returned from court.

The people present may not recognize her, but Ye Jianrong and Li Baoli knew the identity of the person in front of them. Seeing this, the two of them hurriedly stood up, bowed to Ling Yao, and said in unison: "Prime Minister."

Right after that, Ye Jianrong suddenly revealed a hint of smugness, and smiled at Ling Nianxiao in a demonstrative manner, then he clasped his fists and turned to Ling Yao, complaining in a serious manner: "Prime Minister, this restaurant is not well managed. Just now, someone foamed at the mouth after eating here, and fainted on the spot. He has now been sent to the clinic for treatment, and it is uncertain whether he will live or die! And this young man is the husband of the owner of this restaurant."

"Oh? Is that true?"

As soon as Ling Yao arrived home, she was told by the servants that someone had just asked Ling Nianxiao to leave. Fearing that he might beat someone to death if something happened, Ling Yao hurriedly chased after him, so she didn't know why Ling Nianxiao came.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is indeed true!" Ye Jianrong answered loudly.

"I didn't ask you." Ling Yao looked at Ye Jianrong impatiently, then asked Ling Nianxiao in a gentle tone: "Is that what she said?"

Ye Jianrong raised her head and glanced at Ling Yao: Could it be that the prime minister is also interested in this man? That would be difficult. How can she compete with the prime minister for this man?

Fortunately, Ling Yao didn't know that she had dirty thoughts, otherwise she would have suffered a lot.
