I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

His amber eyes are deep and deep, full of inquiry.

Baicaoshi knew that she was on the road of falling off the horse all the time, so she smiled awkwardly, "That's right, the ancient wise man."

Anyway, let's push it to the ancients.

Zhe Yu didn't struggle anymore, he carried the lantern and headed towards the back mountain of the academy with Baicao Poetry.

The whole journey was silent, and the atmosphere was a bit dull. Baicaoshi was about to pick a topic, when Zheyu said: "Today, I found a lot of potions at the Yinhook Gambling Workshop. I originally planned to have a trial today to see if there are any big fish behind. The result..."

Baicaoshi can imagine that this is probably the reason why Zheyu is not in high spirits, and must have been hindered by something. "Then what?"

"Zhizhou said, Zheyu, I admire you very much, but there are more important matters right now, which is the Gongjun salt case. If you can cooperate with this matter and show your face in front of King Xun, then you will be able to make a fortune in the future, just around the corner .Stop messing around with bath bean recipes and casinos."

The calmer it is, the more turbulent it is.

Baicaoshi can feel the subtle changes in Yu Yu's mood. "Since ancient times, the government and businessmen have colluded, and Yinhook Gambling House can grow so big in Wanzhou. Maybe it has done a lot of filial piety to the Zhizhou. The government is also happy to turn a blind eye."

There was some heat in Zhe Yu's chest.

In this world, at least there are people who understand him. Understand his anger, understand his displeasure.

Holding the lantern in one hand, and holding Baicaoshi's hand in the other.

Baicaoshi was taken aback, although it was not the first time the two held hands, but it was different at this moment.

"It's too dark tonight, don't fall."

Hehe, Baicaoshi laughed.

Several large barrels are placed in the back mountain, and a strong pungent smell can be smelled from a long distance. When he came to the front, the lantern was shining, and Baicaoshi looked at it carefully.

As a student of traditional Chinese medicine, Baicaoshi's chemistry is average, but salt is also a traditional Chinese medicine. Preliminarily judged that these poisonous salts contained more calcium, magnesium, barium ions and sulfate radicals, Baicaoshi already had a rough idea in mind.

However, in order not to make Zhe Yuqi suspicious, she suggested: How about this, let's look for books together, maybe there are good ideas in ancient books. In particular, some prescriptions for alchemy and medicine made by sorcerers may work. "

When Zheyu buried himself in collecting books, Baicaoshi made a kind of "magic salt".

Of course, it's not really magic, but some dried mushrooms, shrimp skins and other very fresh substances are added to the salt, and then ground together. The umami and the saltiness of the salt are combined to enhance their respective flavors. She went to Quanjufang and shared several new recipes with Yam and the chefs in time.

Quanjufang changed the menu in time.

And it spread among the guests who came to eat that day.

Wanzhou station.

Ying Zhexun has already sent an urgent document for eight hundred miles to the imperial court, requesting to mobilize available salt from the neighboring prefectures and counties. It is uncertain how long it will take for other prefectures and counties to be transferred, so the impact of the salt tribute this time is too great, and other prefectures and counties have also been greatly affected. There is also a process for the court's decree to be issued.

In addition, Ying Zhexun had already called the prefect and officials for a half-day meeting. Everyone was so blushing and neck-deep that they didn't come up with a good suggestion.

At dusk, someone came to report, "My lord, there is a student in Kunming Academy who claims to be surnamed Shen and asks to see him."

In the Great Yan Dynasty, the most noble surname was Ying, followed by Shen.

"welcome."

A moment later, a handsome young man walked into Ying Zhexun's temporary office study.

"My lord, Li Qing is here." The young man crossed his hands and said, "Li Qing is willing to work for your lord this time in the Gong County salt case."

The person who came was Shen Li, or Shen Liqing. Although she is dressed as a man, the phoenix bird pattern on her forehead is clear.

"You should have a daughter like Shen Liqing. Mrs. Shen gave birth to a good granddaughter, and the Shen family raised a good daughter. Come and have a cup of tea!" Ying Zhefeng was overjoyed, and the words of praise were like pouring out of his mouth, and he opened his mouth, "People from Yanjing I didn't praise you in vain. Li Qing, you came at the right time, what can you do for this case?"

Shen Liqing sat down beside him, "My lord, at this moment, we must use our strength wisely and concentrate all available salt to get through the crisis. This is my thinking."
