The Knight's Journey to the Empire

The salt resources of the entire Knight Continent, after being mined and simply processed, can be divided into five grades for sale: sand salt, coarse salt, fine salt, refined salt, and tribute salt.

The sand salt is sea salt that is dried from seawater. It contains a lot of impurities, has a strong odor, usually contains sand, and is harmful to the body if consumed for a long time.

Therefore, those who consumed sand salt were mainly slaves of the nobles or some truly impoverished civilians.

Coarse salt is generally obtained by filtering sea salt through a simple process.

The advantages of this salt are that it is cheap and easy to make, but its disadvantages are that it contains many impurities and has a relatively strong odor.

Therefore, the main consumers of coarse salt were ordinary civilians and some peripheral servants serving the nobles.

The quality of fine salt is better than coarse salt, with fewer impurities and odors, so its main consumers are some wealthy civilians, some small industrial and commercial operators with a little assets, and most servants in aristocratic mansions for daily use.

Of course, some truly impoverished minor nobles would also eat this kind of salt.

For example, in the Baron's mansion in Soran, the servants used this kind of fine salt when cooking.

Refined salt is salt that is further refined based on fine salt. Its main consumers are most nobles or some wealthy businessmen.

This is the kind of refined salt that Soran usually eats.

The last tribute salt is the best quality salt, snow-white in color, as fine as sand, and crystal clear.

Those who were able to consume tribute salt were top nobles, big businessmen, and royal families.

As for the quality of salt, judging from the current salt mining and processing technology of the Knight Continent, it mainly depends on how many impurities are contained in the salt mine that produces it.

Relatively speaking, the quality of well salt is finer than that of sea salt, contains fewer impurities and odors, and is more suitable for long-term consumption.

Therefore, well salt is usually made into three types: fine salt, refined salt and tribute salt, which are aimed at the upper-class market.

However, due to the high content of impurities and odor, the complicated purification process and high cost, sea salt is mainly made into three types: sand salt, coarse salt and fine salt, which are marketed to the general public.

But despite this, selling sea salt remains a lucrative business channel.

The largest noble family in the County of Garnisee, the Count of Casti family, accumulated a lot of wealth through the business of making and selling sea salt for generations.

……

So when Soran said he had a way to purify sea salt, it was no wonder that Adam was so excited.

As long as this method can purify sea salt to the level of fine salt or refined salt at a lower cost, it can quickly open up the market and make profits.

This will also quickly promote the development of territory business.

"How much does your purification method cost? Will it be very high?" Adam asked with some concern.

Sea salt contains many impurities and has an odor that is difficult to remove.

Therefore, most sea salt is directly made into sand salt or coarse salt for sale.

Only a very small amount of sea salt is purified into fine salt and sold.

As far as Adam knew, there was no easy way to purify sea salt into fine salt.

Soran thought about the method he used to make activated carbon in his high school chemistry experiment in his previous life, and then said calmly: "The cost shouldn't be very high!"

"Brother, tell me what you want me to do!" Adam is now full of confidence and high morale, ready to do a great job.

"Oh, you can't wait!" Soran teased him softly.

"Hurry up! I'm full of energy now!" Adam howled excitedly, as if endless wealth was beckoning to him.

Soran laughed and said, "I'll give you three days to hand over all the work of the political officer to Wulf, and then form a caravan."

"I need you to go out and buy me some sea salt! Although I am very confident in this method, I still have to experiment to know the specific effect!"

"That's it?" Adam asked disdainfully.

"Yes, that's it!" Soran nodded.

"Okay, just wait for my good news! I will lead the caravan out in three days!" Adam left in a hurry without looking back.

Soran looked at his back and couldn't help but chuckle:

Look how happy you are with these few things! If I bring out soap, soy sauce, rice wine, vinegar and other good things, you will be so happy!

Good-for-nothing child!

But Sauron was just thinking about it himself. He didn't dare to be so ostentatious now!

After all, my current strength is still weak, and if I take out some things, I may not be able to keep them!

In the end, it just gives away the money to others for nothing!

For now, we need to develop steadily, stay calm and don't waste time.

This is the royal way!

............................................................

In his previous life, Soran's family ran a spice workshop and spice supply store in the town.

The seasonings sold in the store include daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and rice wine.

Among them, except for oil and salt, soy sauce, rice wine and aged vinegar are all made using ancient methods in their own seasoning workshop.

These seasonings are mellow, sweet and delicious, and there is an endless stream of returning customers from all over the country.

Moreover, he heard from his grandfather that the craftsmanship of this production was an old craft passed down from the ancestors of the last dynasty, and it has a history of more than 200 years.

As the only boy in the family, Soran was trained as the future heir to the family craft since he was young.

So since he was a child, he has been following his grandfather and father, either watching or helping.

Therefore, under the deliberate teaching of his grandfather and father, as well as the influence of daily life, Sauron did not dare to say that he had learned all the old ancestral skills, but at least he had learned the general idea and could make these things.

The Knight Continent has developed for thousands of years and must have many unique delicacies, but what about these seasonings!

It’s hard to put it into words!

At least after traveling for so long, Soran has been able to taste very few seasonings!

Therefore, the market for this seasoning product is very broad, with huge profits, and it can even reach the point of monopoly!

But there are also huge risks!

Because money moves people’s hearts!

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!

Therefore, before Sauron gained powerful strength, it would be absolutely impossible for him to take these things out.
