Chapter 49 Making Fine Salt



Looking at the fine salt prepared in his hands, Su Chengyi's eyes were shining.

?With this fine salt, the people in their village can have enough to eat!

?Although preparing and selling illegal salt is a capital crime, he seems to have no choice when faced with life and death.

?The good thing is that for him, there are ways to sell this illegal salt.

?When he heard that Ruyi had a method to make fine salt, he became interested in this fine salt.

?Faced with the current situation in the village, the best solution he could think of was to use the money earned from fine salt to ensure that everyone in the village had enough food.

?Now, looking at the prepared fine salt, Su Chengyi showed a satisfied smile on his face.

?Just then, there was a noise outside the house.

"What's going on?"

As soon as Su Chengyi went out, he saw Song Qing, who was guarding the door, glaring at Ruyi and yelling at him.

"Our boss has already said that no one is allowed to approach this room. He has confidential matters to deal with in there, and yet you're still sneaking around here? Tell me, what are you thinking? Are you trying to find out our boss's secrets?"

?Ruyi, who was standing aside, was so angry that her face turned pale.

?She finally helped Su Chengyi get up and move around freely. He had been exhausted and his back and waist were sore during this period of time.

?Su Chengyi went into his room early this morning to tinker with something, and Ruyi had some free time, so he started to wander around the village.

?She also cherishes this rare rest time especially.

?But no one knew what was wrong with Song Qing. When he saw her wandering around the village, he started pointing fingers at her. It seemed like he couldn't bear to see her rest for even a moment.

?But no matter how Ren Ruyi explained to her, Song Qing refused to listen and just put the blame of being lazy on him.

?Faced with such unreasonable Song Qing, Ruyi was filled with black lines on her forehead.

?During this period of time, although she was tired from taking care of Su Chengyi all day long, she also benefited from Su Chengyi and at least she could have enough meals.

?Even the millet porridge that Song Qing brought her from time to time mostly went into her stomach.

?Faced with such a situation, Song Qing definitely didn't dare to say anything in front of Su Chengyi.

?Now it was her turn to face Ruyi alone, and Song Qing didn't want to miss this perfect opportunity to embarrass her.

?So even though she knew Ruyi was just taking a rare moment to relax, she still held on to this point.

?Ruyi was not afraid of making things worse, so she had an argument with Song Qing.

?Therefore, as soon as Su Chengyi came out, he saw this noisy scene.

He frowned and said to Ruyi, "Come in."

?A smug look suddenly appeared on Ruyi’s face.

?She glared at Song Qingbai, then followed Ruyi into the house, leaving Ruyi behind them with her face flushed with anger.

?It’s all because Su Chengyi had instructed before that no one from outside was allowed to enter.

Song Qing also knew that the method of making western salt must not be known to outsiders, so he could only stay outside the door and sulk alone.

?After Ruyi followed Su Chengyi into the house, she saw the fine salt made by Su Chengyi and was so surprised that her mouth was wide open.

"You've been tinkering around in the house with these people for so long just to make this fine salt?"

?In Ruyi's opinion, salt is the most easily obtained thing. It is not expensive and can be bought in any small supermarket.

?What she didn’t know was how difficult it was to obtain fine salt in ancient times.

The salt has always been monopolized by the royal family, and the royal family has the final say on pricing.

?Only the rich and powerful could afford such fine salt.

?It is a very happy thing for ordinary people to be able to eat coarse salt.

?People in villages like theirs often go hungry and don’t dare to hope for eating fine salt.

?So when Ruyi looked down upon the fine salt that they had obtained with great difficulty, Su Chengyi felt furious.

?It is not easy for them to get this fine salt.

If he had not accidentally heard Ruyi talk about the method of making fine salt, there would be no way for him to use fine salt to feed everyone in the village.

?However, he was magnanimous and knew Ruyi's character, so he was able to suppress his anger.

?But the people next to him had already been dissatisfied with Ruyi's attitude.

"What do you mean? What do you mean by just making these fine salts? Do you know what these fine salts mean to our village?"

"That's right, after all, she is a woman, with long hair and little knowledge, she can't understand it at all.

I understand what our boss is thinking."

?Several people chattered and bombarded Ruyi for a long time, making Ruyi's face darker and darker.

?Only then did she realize how ignorant she was to show disdain for the joke in front of these people.

?The living habits of the people here are very different from hers before. She cannot use her previous living standard to ask the people here to have the same ideas as her.

?Thinking of this, Ruyi kept reminding herself in her heart that she should be careful when speaking in the future. If she said something wrong and caused public outrage, that would be a difficult situation to deal with.

"Stop! I was wrong just now. This joke is very important to you. Is it okay for me to say this?"

?Those people wanted to refute again, but were suppressed by Su Chengyi, but they still felt aggrieved.

"Boss, why did you let this woman in? Such a big thing is obviously not something a woman should get involved in."

"Yes, Boss, look at the way he treats our fine salt. He has no idea how it affects our village! If you let her in to watch our production process, and she learns it secretly and tells others, wouldn't that mean all our secrets are leaked out?"

"Yes, yes, this woman has now seen how we make fine salt. To be on the safe side, we can't keep her alive."

?After hearing these people’s persuasion, Ruyi’s heart gradually became a little nervous.

?She really could not have imagined that within just a few minutes after she came in, she had reached the point where she had to kill!

Fortunately, in the face of the noise of this group of people, Su Chengyi did not listen to their opinions.

"Well, since I let her in, there's a reason for her to come in and see."

?He knew how important Ruyi was to him!

Now he is more and more aware of Ruyi's shining points.
