Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 575

"I don't like money, but I enjoy the process of making money! I only have a few hobbies, making money, picking up girls, and eating!"

"As for the official you mentioned... Get it down! Who cares? I'm even happier if you beat me to the end! After so many years of messing around, I took your salary for a few months at the beginning."

"Don't say anything, just [-]%! No matter how much you give, I don't want it. Is it meaningful? Is it enough to be a brother? Who made you my brother? Don't let the fat and water go to outsiders!"

Xia Houzhe stretched out his hand and patted Cao Cao's shoulder, looking like I was at a disadvantage.

puff...

Cao Cao felt a pain in his heart!

Sixty percent...so he became a wage earner again?

Obviously that bastard made a lot of money, but instead I, Cao Cao, took a big advantage?

Even, the income from the salt industry in the entire Han Dynasty was not as much as he earned alone?

Is capitalism so terrible?Can one person control the treasury?

"Sixty percent sixty percent! Go back and figure it out for me, Ma De! I've decided to work for you for the rest of my life!"

Cao Cao felt helpless in his heart, which was manipulated to death.

Xia Houzhe smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, I have my way. I guarantee that your 4% will bring more money than the previous [-]%!"

"And, why wait to go back? I can refine fine salt for you right now!"

"To prove the effect of my method, Lao Wang, go get a basket of salt mines! For the sake of money, it doesn't matter if I'm tired today, let you see it from beginning to end!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Yuefei left like flying to find the salt mine!

There are quite a few salt mines and wells in Yanzhou, and they are located within Liyang, so it is easy to find them.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xia Houzhe made a lot of agreements.

Cao Cao was very knowledgeable and signed the contract with ease.

Seeing this, everyone showed envy!

They are fully aware of how terrifying the profits brought by salt are, and Xia Houzhe owns 6% of the salt money!

After a long time, you can become rich like an enemy!

After a while, Wang Yue ran back carrying a basket of orange-red salt ore!

The salt mines are about the size of a fist and extremely rough.

"Here we come! Yuan Yi, show us quickly! Let us learn a lot!"

Xi Zhicai also became interested: "If you eat this salt ore, your whole body will turn purple, and you will have diarrhea to death. Can you really make the best fine salt?"

"Nonsense, trust me! I, Xia Houzhe, never talk empty words! Today I will show you how the snow-white and non-toxic salt came out!"

After taking the salt ore, Xia Houzhe took out a set of salt making tools!

There are cauldrons, hammers, and equipment for distillation and filtration!Bellows has everything.

Very complete!

Seeing this, everyone quickly gathered around, staring intently, for fear of missing any detail.

Guo Jia even took out a large stack of paper, and recorded while drawing, perfectly acting as Cao Cao's male secretary.

Of course, his secretary is regular!

If there is something to do, the secretary will not do it, and if there is nothing to do, the secretary will play. In short, he is invited to paddle.

Xia Houzhe smashed the salt mine, dissolved it in water and filtered out coarse salt. Everyone understood these steps.

Although it is impossible to make fine salt now, it is not surprising that coarse salt can be produced initially.

After the coarse salt was prepared, Xia Houzhe dissolved the coarse salt in water and poured it into a pot to boil, and threw a pile of limestone out by the way.

"Tiger, dance the hammer and hammer these limestones for me! Get ready to go!"

Chapter 670 Brazen Cao Chun

Xu Chu crushed the limestone, and Xia Houzhe poured them into another pot and started to heat it up!

Dian Wei frantically pulled the bellows to provide oxygen!

Xia Houzhe took a big shovel, stirring and lighting the fire.

After a while, the limestone was heated together with the water into a viscous milk of lime!

"Did you see? This is very important! Guo Huangshu, you have to remember, the reason why salt mine and coarse salt will be poisoned if you eat too much!"

"It's because there are a lot of heavy metal elements in it, such as phosphorus, magnesium and potassium, and milk of lime can remove the magnesium in it! Of course, plant ash is also fine!"

Xia Houzhe explained it to everyone.

Excessive intake of metal elements, it is difficult to survive!

But everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't understand at all.

Guo Jia shook his wit and asked tentatively.

"Is it beautiful, look at the thighs?"

"I see your grandma's legs! You are illiterate! Just memorize it!"

Xia Houzhe cursed with a smile.

Guo Jia's face trembled, he scratched his head, and wrote it down truthfully.

'The way to refine fine salt, don't make it beautiful...the uglier the better! '

Guo Jia didn't know, because of his words, those beautiful ores in the salt mine in the future will be saved from poisonous hands!

And those with ugly shapes and colors... were brutally wiped out!

Xia Houzhe poured lime milk into the coarse salt solution and mixed it, stirring again.

After stirring for a while, a reaction occurred in the pot, and a lot of red impurities appeared.

These impurities were filtered four or five times by Xia Houzhe patiently pouring charcoal powder and fine sand, and obtained many whiter crystal particles than before.

The reddish brown faded, leaving a lot of light red liquid in the barrel below, which proved that the toxin had faded a lot!

In this day and age, it is very difficult to get rid of phosphorus and potassium, so you just need to get rid of magnesium and calcium, and you won't die if you eat it.

Xia Houzhe dipped his hand on the filter cloth, put it in his mouth and licked it.

The salty taste is very good, and the bitterness is no longer so bitter. Although a little salt was lost during the filtering process, there is no way to do it.

The crystals are again dissolved into water.

"Okay! It's half done! Next, just let the salt water sit in the air for a few hours!"

"This step is to use the carbon dioxide in the air to mix with the brine salt solution to remove the calcium ions in the salt! Remember it!"

"Right now, you can go to the barracks for a stroll, and come back later!"

Everyone dispersed, only Cao Cao stayed here to watch.

That look is like that of a woman waiting in the delivery room!

This is the way he paid a big price for!It's just...it seems very simple, not complicated at all.

He always feels... a loss!

"Brother, can you be more fancy? At least you have to make me feel worth it?"

"It hurts my heart!"

Cao Cao said weakly.

Xia Houzhe nodded: "The customer is God! Just let me satisfy you with these hands!"

"Satisfy my dad? No, no, just satisfy me!"

Cao Cao grinned, showing his big white teeth on his dark face.

Xia Houzhe juggled the pot, throwing it into the sky, catching it and then throwing it.

Even hip-hop danced out!

A series of actions lasted for an hour!

"How is it? Is it worth it?"

"It's worth it! I feel much more at ease! Brother, you are so strong! If you say you can beat a tiger, I will believe it!"

Cao Cao let out a long sigh of relief, and smiled happily.

His current mentality is like looking for someone to unlock the lock. If someone inserts it and pokes it, the lock will be unlocked in just two seconds!

After getting 50 yuan, I felt that it was so easy, and I lost a lot!

If he had poked it himself, he wouldn't have been able to!

"Fart, I'm so weak, I only like farming in the past, so I have two hands left!"

"You know, I used to like to climb over the wall to peek at the widow taking a bath. I don't have much strength, how can I move over the wall?"

Xia Houzhe smiled and warmed up with Cao Cao by the stove.

Time flies, several hours passed, and everyone gathered together again.

At this time, a lot of impurities appeared in the pot again!

Once it is filtered, the Jahoutsch begins to distill!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the water in the pot was dried up little by little.

"It's time to witness the miracle!"

As the mist dissipated, many large, white and crystal-clear particles appeared in the cauldron!

Xia Houzhe shoveled them out, crushed them with a stone mill, and put them all into a bowl.

A bowl of fine salt was born right under the eyes of Cao Cao and others!

"How is it? This method of refining fine salt is much faster than your sea salt drying, right? And the quality is so good!"

"I've said it all, as a brother, I won't cheat you. When did I not lead you to make money while I was making money?"

"Hey! I'll give you a taste, try the taste!"

Cao Cao gave a thumbs up, and all the resentment in his heart dissipated.

As Xia Houzhe said, every time he works for the other party, he also earns a lot of money!

Which prince in the world has as much wealth as him?There is still food left after raising the army!

A group of people took the white and crystal clear salt and looked at it carefully.

Exclamations came out of their mouths, shouting "magic!"

"Damn it! There is such a white salt in the world? It's whiter than my young master Guo's teeth!"

"Hmm! Salty taste! My lord, try it! It doesn't taste bitter at all!"

"This is more authentic than the salty ones from the girl's house!"

Xi Zhicai took out a little bit, put it in his hand, twisted it, and then stuck out his tongue to lick it.

This is very different from the salt they used to eat!

Today's salt-making technology produces large particles of various colors of yellow and red, just like Skittles, with many impurities!

But the bowl in front of him is as fine as dust, and as white as snowflakes in the sky!

Anyway, Cao Cao had never seen such pure salt!

Holding fine salt in his hand, Cao Cao laughed out loud.

"With this method, I, Cao Cao, will have innumerable fine salt in the future! All the people of my big man will be able to afford good non-toxic salt!"

In fact, there is one thing Cao Cao didn't say, he has this kind of top-quality salt, and he can completely monopolize the salt industry of other princes!

From now on, he will dominate the Cao's Salt Industry!

Countless little money was beckoning to him, thinking of this... Cao Cao's eyes narrowed into a smile, and the corners of his mouth leaked out.
