The Empress’s Gigolo

Chapter 49 Black Liquid Pool

Bucket is a unit of measurement, one bucket is about 6 jin, half bucket is 3 jin, which is about 3 silver taels.

A catty of salt is 2, which is equivalent to a month’s income of many ordinary persons. This price can indeed be called expensive.

He remembered that some nutritionists in Earth said that a normal person should consume 5 grams of salt a day. One month is 3 2 salt, and a family of 3 is almost a catty a month. This is very cheap for the Earth people, but it is extremely expensive for the Great Yao people.

Even the cooks in the animal garden put less when putting salt. Because in Great Yao, meat is a vegetable and a staple food. On the one hand, the price of salt is high, and on the other hand, it is too salty to eat.

Judging from the food Ren Baqian ate in the animal garden, based on the food of the Great Yao people, at most half the amount of salt they eat in a day is half of that of the Earth people, which shows how much the Great Yao people save on salt.

That is, a family of 3 eats half a catty of salt a month, which makes the Great Yao family barely able to afford it. Nevertheless, the salt tiger is indeed a great burden.

It’s not the first time what’s happening in the shop, and it’s not the last time.

People have to eat salt, but Great Yao does not produce salt, so they can only let these merchants decide.

In the same way, Great Yao people don’t nitrate fur. If the fur is not sold, it will rot soon.

Together, the foreign businessmen of Great Yao seem to have formed a tacit understanding. Whether it is the price of buying fur or selling salt, they are almost the same, so that they can get the most profit.

Ren Baqian stood at the door of the shop and looked at the dispute inside, and shook his head slightly. This is the consequence of the lack of materials and technology in the country.

“Let’s go.” Ren Baqian said.

Bringing the vine bottle gourd and the iron knife to the door of the shop, I went to the Chen Family shop before it was finished and there was nothing to see.

Chen Zisheng waited for Ren Baqian in the past few days, but he was waiting to see through. The three books could not read a word in his hand, which made him anxious.

After seeing Ren Baqian, his eyes lit up: “Mr. Ren, you can count it. I will wait for you every few days.”

“I promised you, I will definitely come to translate for you.” Ren Baqian said with a smile.

After Chen Zisheng read it to the patient in his hand, he asked Disciple to sit here for him, took Ren Baqian to the back room, and cautiously took out the three books from the first box.

Ren Baqian picked up “Treatise on Febrile Diseases” and asked Chen Zisheng to prepare pen and paper records.

With Ren Baqian reading there, Chen Zisheng’s hands were like chicken paws on the paper quickly, and he could see a phantom.

Ren Baqian had to admire his writing speed. Looking at his words again, I admire more.

It is estimated that it will not be possible to find a code breaking expert.

Ren Baqian felt hungry after reading it for less than an hour, but it was not easy to come here once. Seeing Chen Zisheng had no idea of ​​rest, he drank water vigorously. Drink plenty of water when you are hungry, it can fill your stomach.

Finally, after reading it for an hour and a half, seeing Chen Zisheng’s eyes straightened and his body was pierced by sweat, Ren Baqian had to stop.

If copying this stuff tired him out, it would be a sin.

When Ren Baqian stopped, Chen Zisheng threw the pen immediately, his hands trembling like chicken paws.

“The old man is exhausted.” Chen Zisheng yelled grabbed a jar of water and poured it into his mouth.

Chen Zisheng raised his neck and finished pouring water. The right hand was still pumping like a wind. He didn’t forget to raise his head and ask Su, “How much did you write?”

“It’s about 8 more times.” Ren Baqian said, looking at the thickness of the book.

Chen Zisheng gritted his teeth and shook his hands: “I let my discipline come in and write.”

“Forget it, I have something to do, come again someday.” Ren Baqian said.

When Chen Zisheng heard this, he seemed to let go of his burden, and exclaimed, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

It seems that the hour a moment ago really exhausted him.

Ren Baqian estimated that if he allowed himself to write for more than an hour, that is, 3 hours, he would be shaking more than him.

I took the vine bottle gourd and the iron knife, who had fallen asleep on the bed, to the blacksmith shop. Just a few steps after leaving the medicine shop door, I heard someone next to him angrily say: “We only changed a half of those animal skins. Salt, it won’t be used for a few days in the stockade, so I just grab the shop at night.”

When Ren Baqian heard this sound, it was a joy. It was really predestined, and it happened again.

Turning his head to look over, that Nagu and a big man were standing aside, Nagu’s complexion, soy sauce bottles could be hung on her mouth.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Let’s go back and see if we can get more prey these days.” The big man taught her with a bag, and the bag should contain the salt that two people exchanged.

“It’s a pity that the salt water in the mountains can’t be eaten, otherwise I would have to ask them to buy salt.”

“Where is the salt water? It is poisoned water, and even animals are not eaten. Some people have eaten it before. Although it has a salty taste, it will cause lumps and vomiting after eating it. More people will pass out or even die. If you eat that, you might as well snatch their shop at night as you said.” The big man coldly snorted and said.

Ren Baqian was going to pass by the two people, but he was taken aback when he heard this and stopped directly.

“Two!” Ren Baqian turned his head and arched his hands at the two.

“Who are you?” The big man looked over with a fierce look.

“Ah, when are you that…” Nagu recognized Ren Baqian.

“I heard two people just talk about salt water, I don’t know what it is like?” Ren Baqian asked.

The big man listened to his question, coldly snorted ignored him at all. I was angry at those shops just now, and there was nowhere to sprinkle it.

“I’m not from the Yun country, nor from the Chen country, nor from the Great Xia. I am currently working as a errand in the Beast Garden. The business between the two and those merchants has nothing to do with me. Logically speaking, I should be regarded as Great Yao now. The talent is right.” Ren Baqian looked at the attitude of the two people and knew the whole story without thinking about it, and immediately said with a smile.

“This is the responsibility of the Beast Garden.” The iron knife behind him said.

The Beast Garden is an affiliate of the Imperial Palace. When the two people heard how much their faces looked better after working in the Beast Garden, they turned their heads and looked up and down Ren Baqian: “You ask what the salt water does? Someone has thought about it a long time ago. I can’t eat it, not even the wild beast on the mountain.”

“If it is poisonous, you really can’t eat it, but maybe it can be refined to eliminate the toxin, and you don’t have to worry about eating salt.” Ren Baqian said.

“Impossible.” The big man said flatly.

“Don’t bother about it anymore. Someone has thought about it.” Nagu also said on the side. Her attitude towards Ren Baqian was much better than that of the big guy. Maybe it was because she bumped into Ren Baqian at the beginning, so she didn’t feel so strange.

“Whether you can know if you have to listen to two people talk about the salt water situation.” Ren Baqian said.

“The water is in a pool on the mountain. The water is salty, bitter and smelly. We call it a black liquid pool.” Nagu said.

“The water is black? Does it smell like a rotten egg” Ren Baqian asked quickly.

Nagu nodded. “It’s dark and muddy, and nothing grows around. It does smell of rotten eggs.”
