Chapter 206: Riding without Drinking

Another one was Dorgon, Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty. He went hunting on horseback after drinking, fell off his horse and died from his injuries.

Huang Degong smiled awkwardly: "Then...I will drink tea instead of wine?"

Li Ruo Lian shook his head: "Jingnan Bo can just drink wine, I will use tea instead of wine."

"Okay! Come..." Before Huang Degong could finish the word "people", Li Ruolian interrupted him again.

"Wait...use this fine salt to cook at noon today." After saying that, he took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms and handed it to Huang Degong.

"Fine salt?" Huang Degong was very confused.

Are the Jinyiwei so refined in their eating habits? Fine salt... Isn't crushed coarse salt fine salt?

Seeing Huang Degong's confusion, Li Ruolian explained, "This is the latest tribute of longevity salt from the people. It has the effect of prolonging life. Your Majesty is also eating it."

The scar on Huang Degong's face trembled uncontrollably again. He looked at Li Ruolian with complicated eyes. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of doubts.

He questioned the ability of the Jinyiwei and even more the efficacy of the longevity salt, while expressing concern for the deceived emperor.

“If you don’t believe me, you can try it!” Li Ruolian suggested.

"Just try it!" Huang Degong opened the box nonchalantly, then opened the paper bag inside the box, pinched a little white salt and put it into his mouth.

"Huh?" Huang Degong's eyes widened. "This longevity salt...is not bitter or astringent! It really is a good thing."

"Any more? Give me more!" Huang Degong fell in love with this salt after just one bite.

If you use this salt when grilling meat, the taste will be enhanced several times.

Li Ruo Lian shook his head slowly: "Although this salt is for eating, I don't recommend Jingnan Bo to eat this salt."

"Why?"

"Because it's expensive! In the capital, one tael of silver can only buy one tael of longevity salt! This is just the marked price, the actual selling price is even more than ten taels of silver! I'm afraid you and I can't afford it!"

"Then why did your majesty send this salt?"

"Everyone knows that Jingnan Bo has made friends with some dignitaries in the capital. Your Majesty's suggestion is that Jingnan Bo should not give silver as a gift next time, but give this longevity salt instead."
