Chapter 24 Snow Salt
Salt, like grain, is the lifeblood of the people.
Huang Cuiping's family was running out of salt, and she was worried about where to buy salt.
Old lady Huang Cuiping looked around and saw that everyone was curious about the newly opened salt shop.
She was also curious, so she persuaded her elder sister to go to the shop to see the salt for sale.
As soon as she came in, the clerk came up to greet her. The enthusiastic attitude scared Huang Cuiping so much that she stood there in a daze.
We, the country folk, have never seen anything like this.
Before Huang Cuiping could calm down, the clerk began to introduce refined salt.
The snow-white refined salt is exposed to the air, so white that it is dazzling.
With just one glance, Huang Cuiping forgot her confusion and let the salt directly absorb her attention.
The salt in the bag was crystal clear, and Huang Cuiping rubbed her eyes.
"Sister, look, is this salt?"
"Oh, why is the salt so white and tender?"
"No."
Huang Cuiping stared at it for a long time before she was willing to look away.
The clerk continued to introduce enthusiastically:
"This is snowflake salt, the flagship product of our salt shop."
"A pound of snowflake salt costs 10 cents, and each person is limited to buying two bags per month..."
"10 cents?
Only 10 cents a pound? "
When Huang Cuiping heard the price, she couldn't help but interrupt the clerk's introduction.
"Oh my God, did I hear you right?"
"You heard me right, that's the price. I'm telling you, there's not much salt on the salt shop today, so hurry up if you want to buy, or you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"I want to buy it. Please wait for me. I'll go home and get the money."
Huang Cuiping took her old sisters and ran home.
The other elderly people sitting around the public notice board saw Huang Cuiping and her partner who had just entered the shop, stay in the shop for a while and then leave in a hurry.
Everyone was a little confused. They went to see the new shop, so why did he leave after a while?
When the other elderly people came forward one by one to check, they all found the same situation as Huang Cuiping and her husband.
What are you still standing there for? Didn’t the clerk tell you that there isn’t that much snowflake salt available today? If you don’t buy some now, it will be sold out by others.
This salt costs ten cents per pound, and they have never seen such white salt before.
The old ladies who originally walked slowly, came out of the salt shop and walked very fast, for fear of being slower than others.
Quarter of an hour later, a new wave of pedestrians appeared on the road. They first discovered that there was a salt shop on the street, and then they saw people coming out of the salt shop, each carrying two large bags of things in their arms or hands.
There was even a long queue outside the salt shop.
This was a rare sight for Huangxian residents, who had rarely seen such a popular salt shop.
Once they understand the situation, they will join the team.
The salt shop's business was so good that the three clerks were overwhelmed.
At half past five, the workers who went to work at the Guantian Soil and Fertilizer Factory finished their lunch and went home, and the salt shop ushered in another peak period of business.
The salt shop closed at 7pm and people who failed to buy salt gradually left.
Mu Qing took a look at the salt shop's daily turnover, which was about 10 taels.
Extracting refined salt is simple and does not cost much. Except for a small labor cost, it is almost pure profit.
Although the profit is not as great as that of glass, refined salt is a long-term business.
Liuli made a quick buck. Mu Qing didn't believe that other Liuli workshops only produced a few Liuli ornaments every day. Since she entered the market, more and more Liuli that was not produced in Huang County had been produced.
They had previously just used the scarcity of goods as a gimmick in the hope of slowly making money.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qing's move directly snatched away two-thirds of the glass market.
Recently, more and more exquisite colored glass products have appeared on the market, which shows that these colored glass merchants can no longer sit still.
In the future, the price of colored glaze will only get closer and closer to that of ordinary porcelain. When others come to share a piece of this market, Mu Qing will probably not make much money.
From the beginning, Mu Qing framed the glass products on cups, teapots and other usable utensils. As for glass ornaments, Mu Qing did not have senior craftsmen, so he could not beat others.
The average price of salt in the market is 60 to 70 wen per catty. The refined salt sold in the salt shop is low in price and high in quality, so salt merchants will definitely come looking for it.
The profits of salt shops will continue to increase, and may even surpass glass to become the pillar industry of Huang County.
Snowflake salt is of high quality, with crystals of sodium chloride that are crystal clear and snow-white.
This is one of the reasons why Mu Qing named the refined salt Snowflake Salt.
Shen Moyan was busy making colored glaze at the Liuli Factory and did not notice that the name of Huangxian Salt Shop was a familiar word he had heard before.

A caravan from afar brought cloth from the south of the Yangtze River to Shengjing to sell it, paying customs duties along the way just to make a small profit.
Guangsha was once briefly captured by refugees. To reach Shengjing, they had to pass through Guangsha or Anping.
The journey is shorter if you pass through Guangsha City.
For safety reasons, they decided to take a detour and pass through Huang County under the border of Anping.
There are few traveling merchants these days, and most official roads are overgrown with weeds.
Over the past few months, the caravan's carriages have been traveling on official roads that are sometimes muddy and sometimes narrow.
They had long been accustomed to the dilapidated state of the roads here.
Jiangnan had a large number of commodities and a booming economy, so most of the official roads were paved with stones. Unlike the official roads in other places, traveling on them was often difficult.
It was not until they reached the official road near Huang County that they realized that starting from the border between Huang County and the neighboring counties, the official road within Huang County was large and wide.
The width of the road is even wider than that of Jiangnan, not to mention the fine gravel paved on it, so carriages can pass by without any bumps.
"Jiang Ji, the official road here is quite flat, and is not inferior to that in Jiangnan."
"Ah."
Dongfang Mingjue looked at the road the carriage had passed in shock.
He was still thinking that this unusual official road might arouse Jiang Ji's interest, but he didn't expect Jiang Ji to still look so aloof.
The young man named Jiang Ji sat on the couch in the carriage, his inky black hair tied up high, and there was always a hint of gloom between his brows.
He held the book in his hand for a long time without turning a single page.
Dongfang Mingjue looked at the often silent Jiang Ji and stretched out his hand to cover the pages of the book:
"Jizhi, it's been eight years. When I make some money, we'll find that amazing Gongshujia to make a few prosthetic limbs for you. We'll take turns, changing one a day.
If Gongshujia hadn't appeared, there would still be Mohism. There would always be a way."
"Don't worry about me, that's not what I'm thinking about."
The young man holding the book has delicate eyebrows and eyes, and his thin lips are slightly parted.
Just looking at his appearance, he is a natural talent.
pity……
There was a sense of emptiness in the clothes of such a talented and handsome young man.
It turned out that the boy's right limb began to disappear from the shoulder.
Jiang Ji lowered his eyes. He didn't care whether he had his right hand or not. He had long been accustomed to the pain of the evil energy lingering around his shoulders and neck.
He just felt that life was so tiring, living in this era.
Countless people left him, but he still lived on in this world.
