Chapter 114 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (1)

"Sanniang, look at it, this is vinegar cloth!"

Lu Qi went to Qianniuwei's temporary camp and came back with a piece of black cloth.

Lu Qi's face turned slightly to one side, as if she was disgusted.

Gu Qingcheng was a little puzzled at first. Although Lu Qi was not old, she had been with him for a year or two.

Moreover, her family is a servant of the Gu family, and she has been taught rules by her elders since she can remember.

In terms of "etiquette", it is no exaggeration to say that Lu Qi is no worse than some ordinary girls from official families!

What's wrong with this girl now?

There is such an exposed look of disgust?

Until Lu Qi came closer, a sour and smelly smell hit her face, and Gu Qingcheng could hardly control her emotions.

What does this smell like?

It goes straight to Tian Ling Gai, so sour and refreshing.

However, this vinegar cloth was brought to her by her own orders. Regardless of whether it smelled good or smelly, she had to take a closer look.

"Bring it over and let me see!"

“Sanniang, this smell——” It’s really unpleasant.

Lu Qi is really afraid of intoxicating her own mistress.

"It doesn't matter!" Gu Qingcheng is the most eager to learn. Since there is knowledge that she doesn't know, she must understand it.

Lu Qi sent the rag to Gu Qingcheng.

Tsk, that smell is getting more pungent.

Gu Qingcheng endured his disgust, moved closer, and took a closer look.

This is just a piece of cloth.

But it must have been soaked in some kind of seasoning and tainted with those flavors.

When Gu Qingcheng thought of this, he ignored the pungent smell and directly picked up the cloth with two fingers.

Bring it to your nose, twitch your nostrils, and smell carefully.

acid!

salty!

After all, Gu Qingcheng still had some scruples and did not taste it directly.

However, her six senses are sharp and she can make a rough judgment based on taste.

Lu Qi also explained on the side, "I asked the Qianniu Guard, and he said this is something commonly used in the army."

"Put salt and vinegar in the water, put the linen cloth in it and boil it."

"The linen cloth is stained with the smell of salt and vinegar. This is vinegar cloth."

"When it's time to march, cut the vinegar cloth into small pieces and boil it in a large pot, and the food will have a flavor."

As Lu Yi said this, she resisted the urge to think "yue".

There was nothing I could do about it. When she was explaining, she couldn't help but imagine that scene in her mind.

Coupled with the pungent smell of vinegar cloth, her stomach couldn't help but churn.

"Salt is in such short supply?"

Gu Qingcheng was not an ordinary girl from an aristocratic family. She had been a queen and queen mother in charge of the government.

Therefore, from just a small piece of vinegar cloth, she guessed that the crux of the problem was "salt".

Salt is indeed a good thing, and it is very rare in this era.

Wait, how are salt made now?

Gu Qingcheng's thinking began to diverge, and he tried to use his "common sense" to change the world.

"Executor, it's been more than a month, and the system has cooled down long ago."

Huoshui felt Gu Qingcheng's heart ready to move, so he couldn't hold it back and jumped out again to remind: "Let's do a mission!"

"The more tasks you do, the more points you can earn."

"Have you forgotten your long-cherished wish? Don't you want to become a big, beautiful person as soon as possible?"

As Huoshui talked, he began to confuse.

Gu Qingcheng: ...of course I have not forgotten my wish.

However, I will not act too eager, otherwise I will be in a passive position.

"No rush! I still have things to do."

Gu Qingcheng did not continue to think about any new salt-making method.

Instead, I thought of ways to improve it based on the Western medicine skills I extracted from the previous mission.

After dinner, Gu Qingcheng took two maids and three or five tribes for a walk nearby.

The temporary resting place chosen this time was a mountainous area next to the official road.

There are mountains and forests and rivers.

Zheng Mo led the Qianniu Guards and shot some wild animals in the forest, which was considered as extra food for everyone.

Not to be outdone, the rangers caught some river fresh food in the river, and Gu Qingcheng ordered the cook to make fish soup, grilled fish, etc.

Everyone had a great time eating.

Gu Qingcheng took people for a walk in the mountains and forests.

Then, she discovered that there were some dark brown rock formations on the mountains near the river.

Gu Qingcheng's mind moved, and she called two steps: "Scrape off these rock layers and put them in a wooden barrel."

Although the Gu family's Buqu didn't understand why Gu Qingcheng did this, they would only obey the little master's orders.

Not long after, the two tribes followed Qing Cheng's instructions, took the rock formations, packed them in buckets, ground the large rocks into powder, and then set up a fire.

Boil the salt brine, filter it through fine linen cloth, and then filter it through layers of charcoal.

The water in the pot becomes clear.

Gu Qingcheng asked Bu Qu to find a flat stone slab. The midday sun made the stone slab very hot to the touch.

The salt water poured on the stone slabs, making a squeaking sound.

The water slowly evaporates, leaving behind a shallow layer of white particles.

Lu Qi and Jiao Wei's eyes widened.

Even the two Bubu who had been helping with the work looked incredulous.

This, this is salt?

Seeing the reactions of several people, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but curl her lips, "You can have a taste!"

After hearing this, Lu Qi quickly stretched out a finger, dipped it on the fine white particles, and then put it in her mouth.

"Salty!"

Just like the fine sea salt you use at home.

But sea salt is so expensive that even slaves from wealthy families like them are not qualified to enjoy it.

My Sanniang, just, did it so easily?

Lu Qi and other servants all looked surprised.

However, they are all servants of the Gu family, and their lives, wealth, and splendor are all closely related to their masters.

After all, it is just a salt-making method. Even if the master wants to rebel, they will have no choice but to follow it.

Whistleblower?

Or a leak?

Haha, what are you thinking about?

The current law stipulates that if the master rebels and the slave exposes it, he will eventually die along with the master's family.

They are the owner's property, and whether they live or die is decided by the owner's family.

Gu Qingcheng didn't avoid them when he was making it, that's why.

After packing his things, Gu Qingcheng returned to the army with the finished product.
