The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

"Master, Master, there really is salt. Miss Mu really turned stone into salt. It's white refined salt, as white as snow."

Mo Yu held a handful of salt in a paper bag and ran straight to the inner courtyard study. He didn't even have time to enter the door before he started shouting in the courtyard.

Yun Qing had been waiting for news in the study. In fact, he had been extremely anxious. Before Mo Yu came in, he had already stood up and almost went out to greet her.

"Master, look! It's white refined salt. I've never seen salt this white. It's whiter and finer than the salt from the West Sea."

Mo Yu was so excited that he forgot that his master was blind. Yun Qing didn't care about that at all. He pinched a little salt and felt it in his hand. It was really fine. He put it in his mouth and tasted it. It was only salty, without any bitterness.

"Really as white as snow?"

"Yeah! It's really white, pure white."

Yun Qing's hands were shaking as he imagined what the salt looked like. It must be crystal clear and beautiful.

He carefully placed the salt and asked hurriedly, "How much refined salt can be obtained from one pound of salt?"

Mo Yu estimated in his mind: "About eight taels."

"So much?" Yun Qing had always thought that there would be a lot of losses. In his mind, he was satisfied if he could get three or four ounces out of a pound of salt. He didn't expect that it would be half more.

"How is the process? Will it be complicated?"

Yun Qing only heard that Mu Qingcheng asked Mo Yu to buy a bucket and two large pots, and that he didn't need to buy other things like sand, stones and charcoal. He also didn't hear that there was anything else needed.

"Master, the process is very simple, just like boiling salt water in ordinary people's homes. I don't know when Miss Mu cast the spell, but the salt is getting whiter and whiter."

For the first time, Yun Qing was so excited that he couldn't calm down. He stood up and walked to the door of the study and stood there for a long time, his heart still restless.

Such low cost, such a simple production process, yet it produces expensive refined salt. It really is like turning stone into gold. Could it be that this little girl has truly attained enlightenment and has a golden finger?

Yun Qing forced himself to calm down. With salt, he could exchange it for food. With food, the northern border guards would not starve.

"Moyu, I need someone to deliver a letter to the capital. Our secret agents are not safe, so we should not use our own people for the time being. Who do you think is the most suitable person to deliver this letter?"

"Master, I am willing to return to the capital."

Yun Qing shook his head. "You can't. It takes a month to get to the capital from here, and two months to go back and forth. I'm going into seclusion to detoxify soon, so Nuannuan's safety is your responsibility."

Mo Yu also knew that it was not appropriate for him to leave at the moment. His master's safety also needed him. So who should go? Where else could they find someone?

"What do you think of Zhou Da?"

Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully: "Master, this person is not simple. I am afraid he is a hidden spy."

Yun Qing sneered: "So what if he's a secret agent? His wife and children are in our hands. Why should we be afraid of him doing anything?"

Mo Yu didn't know how to respond. With their master poisoned and the Queen's plot against them, their Dragon Shadow Guard had suffered heavy losses. All the members of the Sun Team had been killed, leaving only their Moon Team. And now, only six members remained in the Moon Team. Alas! Their master was in such a plight.

"Forget it! Let's notify Xuantian Palace!" Yun Qing seemed to have made up his mind.

"Ah?" Mo Yu was a little surprised.

Xuantian Palace is Yun Qing's master's sect. When he was six years old, he was chosen by Taoist Wuji to be his last disciple. Later, he followed his master to learn skills in Xuantian Palace for six years.

It can be said that Xuantian Palace is his only home, and his master and senior brothers are his only relatives.

He didn't want to involve his sect and master, but unfortunately, his master sacrificed half his life's work to save his life. Later, his life or death was unknown.

But now, the only one he can turn to for help is his master.

"Moyu, go to the city tomorrow and give Zhou Da some silver so he can open his shop. Then have him go to Baiyun Temple on Baiyun Mountain in Yunzhou to deliver a letter. Make sure he gets it there as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Yunzhou is not far from Baiyun Mountain and the provincial capital. It only takes one day to get there by hiring a carriage, but it would take a longer time to walk there. Therefore, Yunqing specially reminded Zhou Da to hire a carriage and not to be reluctant to spend money.

As for whether the letter could be delivered safely, Yun Qing was not worried at all. Even if he was a secret agent, he would not reveal himself at this time.

When his senior brothers arrived, he could go into seclusion and detoxify himself with peace of mind. He could also leave the salt-making to his senior brothers.

As for how to exchange food with Southern Yan, that would be up to that brat in the capital to do.

Mo Yu immediately went to find Mu Qingcheng and told her that he wanted to withdraw two thousand taels of silver. He explained to Mu Qingcheng that the Zhou family had arrived safely in the city and had found a shop to open a Jin Yuhe backpack embroidery workshop in the city.

When Mu Qingcheng heard this, she was extremely happy. She hurried back to her room and got a few drawings. These were the drawings she had drawn while staying up late over the past two days. She asked Mo Yu to give them to Madam Wang and asked them to make them as soon as possible.

Mu Qingcheng made refined salt and felt that a celebration was in order. Although they were currently short of resources, the necessary sense of ceremony could not be omitted. It was time to eat the braised chicken and rice.

If there are no potatoes, radishes can be used instead. If there are no green peppers, then some green onions or cabbage leaves can also be used. In short, if you can't make authentic braised chicken, the copycat version looks good too.

As soon as the food was served, Yun Qing smelled the aroma. Who cooked this meal?

He guessed in his heart that Zijin and Zipei's cooking skills could only be described as being able to cook the food thoroughly, while Mu Qingcheng could only burn the food.

"Who cooked today's meal?" Yun Qing was already eating her second bowl of rice.

Mu Qingcheng said: "Of course it's me, who else could it be?"

"Ahem! Tell the truth! A lying girl will only get uglier and uglier!"

"Tsk! I don't believe it. Do you think I'm a child?"

Yun Qing laughed: "Okay! Miss Mu, who made this meal?"

Mu Qingcheng said proudly, "Isn't it delicious?"

Yun Qing said with a reluctant expression: "It's okay!"

"Hmph! So hard to please." Mu Qingcheng said frankly: "Just wait, if the fox brings pheasants again tomorrow, I will make you braised chicken with scallion oil. The fragrance will make your tongue fall off."

"Oh! Really?" Yun Qing secretly looked forward to it in his heart, thinking that if the fox didn't bring the pheasant tomorrow, he would beat up the fox hostage in the yard.

But no one expected that the fox gave them an unexpected surprise the next morning!
