The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 79 The concept of fine salt!
There are many things that Li Lizhi has never heard of, such as MSG and chicken essence.

But Li Lizhi knew salt. "It's so white, is it salt?"

The gap with the Tang Dynasty is quite big.

"Well, this is indeed different from the one in the Tang Dynasty. Changle, try it."

Li Lizhi stretched out her slender jade fingers, pinched a few pills and put them into her mouth, showing an expression of disbelief again.

"This salt only tastes salty!"

This sentence sounds a bit confusing to people today.

It is normal for salt to only taste salty, but this was not normal in the Tang Dynasty.

The main salt-making methods in the Tang Dynasty included boiling sea salt, drying pond salt, and mining well salt.

These methods are relatively primitive and lack sophisticated purification techniques.

For example, boiling seawater to make salt simply involves evaporating the seawater to obtain salt, and other impurities in the seawater are difficult to completely remove.

Although there have been certain technological advances in well salt production, it is difficult to remove impurities from deep brine. Impurities such as gypsum and Glauber's salt will mix into the salt and affect its purity.

According to historical records, even though some filtering measures were taken during the production of well salt at that time, the salt still contained a lot of impurities.

Because it contains impurities such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride, the salt will have a certain bitter taste.

If the salt is mixed with metal ions such as iron ions, it may have a rusty smell.

Furthermore, during storage, if salt becomes contaminated or is stored with other odorous substances, it may absorb other odors.

The Tang Dynasty also had some high-quality salt, such as the salt used by the court and nobles. It was more refined in production and screening, with relatively high purity and relatively less odor.

But compared with modern refined salt, there is still a big gap in purity and taste.

That's why Li Lizhi was so surprised when she tasted the fine salt.

"The quality of salt also affects the taste of food. This kind of salt at least ensures that there will be no other strange tastes."

Li Lizhi nodded in agreement. She knew very well what the salt in the Tang Dynasty was like.

"Young Master, is this salt expensive?"

"Two dollars a pack, not expensive!"

"Is it so cheap?" Li Lizhi had an idea in her mind. Such salt could definitely be sold at a high price if brought back to the Tang Dynasty.

"Changle, do you want to bring salt back to the Tang Dynasty?" Xiao Ran also guessed.

"Salt is not necessary. You can just bring other things, such as MSG, chicken essence, soy sauce, etc. We don't have these in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Lizhi said, "But, even the Tang Dynasty doesn't have such high-quality salt!"

"If we further purify the salt from the Tang Dynasty, we can get this kind of fine salt. It's not difficult."

Li Lizhi was delighted, "Really?"

"This doesn't require any technical skills, I know a little bit about it." After all, it was in the junior high school chemistry textbook, so Xiao Ran still knew about it.

Xiao Ran's chemistry level is only that of a junior high school student, nothing more. High school chemistry is a bit difficult.

Li Lizhi felt even happier when she heard Xiao Ran say this.

Compared to moving fine salt to the Tang Dynasty, learning the technology of making fine salt is obviously more meaningful.

Li Lizhi always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what it was.

Xiao Ran has already started preparing the meal.

"Young Master, where are the other seasonings? What are they used for?" Li Lizhi pointed at the others.

"MSG and chicken essence are used to enhance the flavor of the dishes."

While doing it, Xiao Ran talked to Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi finally learned how to cook.

The two little princesses did not stay in the kitchen, but went to the living room to watch cartoons.

Li Lizhi almost figured out why the food here was so delicious.

These things are not difficult. It is not difficult to make delicious meals in the Tang Dynasty.

"I didn't expect that the young master's cooking skills are so good." Li Lizhi said sincerely.

"I can't say I'm that good. I'm far from a good professional."

Soon, several dishes came out of the pot one after another. The two little princesses stopped watching cartoons and were a little hungry. Several dishes were placed on the coffee table, and there was another one for Empress Changsun and Princess Yuzhang.

"Changle, these are ready, send them over first!"

Li Lizhi felt a little embarrassed. It was really unacceptable to eat at someone else's house and then take food home.

Xiao Ran could also see Li Lizhi's embarrassment, "This is just a matter of convenience, no need to be so formal."

"Sizi, come here quickly!" Xiao Ran shouted.

"Hmmmm~ I'm coming~"

Xiao Ran squatted down and rubbed the little princess's head. "Take my sister back and give these things to my mother and the others. We'll have dinner when we get back."

"Hmm, hmm~" the little princess pulled Li Lizhi, "Sister, let's play~"

Li Lizhi took the takeaway box from Xiao Ran and said, "Thank you, young master!"

"Well, let's go!"

Xiao Ran pulled the little princess Chengyang, "Second sister, you don't have to go. Can you wait a moment?"

"it is good!"

Li Lizhi and the little princess returned to the Tang Dynasty. Xiao Ran took the little princess Chengyang to the supermarket to find something to drink.

I got milk, juice and Coke.

I also picked up a few bags of snow lotus, which makes drinking iced cola more refreshing in the hot summer.

It was almost noon, and Li Lizhi and her companions had not returned yet. Empress Changsun and Princess Yuzhang kept looking at them sideways.

From time to time, I couldn't help but look towards the screen.

But there was no movement.

Finally saw Li Lizhi and the little princess come back.

"Aniang~"

"Sister Sizi is back." Princess Yuzhang was also happy.

"Mother, this is the meal prepared by the young master for you and my sixth sister," Li Lizhi said.

"Girl, where is Second Mother? Why hasn't she come back?" Empress Changsun was worried because she didn't see Princess Chengyang.

"Mother, Sizi and I have to go back soon. Young Master, please stay over there for dinner. I have a lot of questions for you."

Li Lizhi did have something important to do, and Empress Changsun believed it.

"Mother, now I know why the food is so delicious. I hope the Tang Dynasty can do the same in the future."

Li Lizhi said as she opened the takeaway box, "These are all made by the young master himself, Auntie, eat them while they're hot."

"Okay!" Empress Changsun nodded, knowing that Li Lizhi had gained a lot there.

Knowing these things is much more meaningful than bringing some fruit snacks.

After getting ready, Li Lizhi said, "Mother, Sizi and I will go over first."

"Okay, go ahead! Don't keep the young master waiting."

Li Lizhi brought the little princess back into the screen, and Princess Yuzhang was also eager to make a move.

I want to go and see it too.

"Mother!" Princess Yuzhang handed the chopsticks to Empress Zhangsun, "These dishes smell so good!"

Empress Zhangsun took the chopsticks and said, "The Tang Dynasty can do the same in the future."

"Mother, please send some to Grandpa! We can't finish all this."

"Okay!" Empress Changsun arranged for someone to send a copy to Li Shimin.

When Li Lizhi and the little princess came back again, there were a few more cups on the table.

There are juice and cola.

"Changle, Sizi, come and have dinner!" Xiao Ran shouted.

"Yeah, yeah~" The little princess sat down next to Xiao Ran.
