Chapter 1017

Li forgot to worry. Unexpectedly, the delicious meat soup in his hand didn't have any salt taste at all.

The meat soup without salt not only has nothing to do with the taste, but also has a strong smell of blood.

Even though Li forgets to worry that he has suffered enough in the sand theft camp for more than a year, and has eaten plain meals and even leftovers, he still feels a little difficult to swallow in the face of such a bowl of meat soup.

However, in the face of Xijie leader and ah die, as well as Miss Yaro's looking forward eyes, Li forgets worry, but he can only hold his nose, resist the feeling of nausea, and drink a bowl of meat soup.

After yaruo left with an empty pottery bowl filled with joy, Li forgot to worry and asked ah Yi feebly, "Dalang, why don't you put salt in this meat soup? Is it your tiele habit?"

Ah Xie nodded naturally: "salt? Why put salt? We tiele people eat and never put salt. Only you Tang people need to eat salt! If you don't eat salt, you will get sick. We tiele people don't do that."

Then ah fell and patted his head: "Oh, I forgot. You are from Tang Dynasty and need salt! But there is no salt in our tribe. What can I do?"

Li forgot to worry and helped his forehead speechless. He remembered that later generations seemed to have seen a saying that the grassland people did not eat salt.

People naturally have to eat salt, and grassland people are not Superman. They don't need to absorb the indispensable substances of human physiological function from salt.

The grassland people didn't eat salt originally because they took beef and mutton as their staple food. When dealing with food materials, they would cook with blood and animal milk, which contained more salt than plants, so they could absorb the salt needed by the human body.

Of course, the grassland people didn't eat salt originally. A very important reason is that there is almost no salt on the grassland.

Although later generations, including Inner Mongolia, produced all kinds of mineral salt and lake salt, at least in the Tang Dynasty, there was almost no salt production on the grassland.

All salt needs to be transported from the Central Plains, and its price is naturally high, which is not affordable for ordinary herdsmen. In this way, it is not surprising that grassland people develop the habit of not eating salt.

But not to mention whether this is enough to meet the physiological needs of the human body, it is difficult for Li to accept the taste of the food cooked.

Salt is the first of all flavors. Without salt as seasoning, it tastes like chewing wax and is difficult to swallow.

However, the Hult tribe had no salt, but Li forgot to worry, but he had to bear it. Who made him ask for help and was rescued by the Hult tribe? How nice to ask for more.

No salt, no salt. Just bear it.

Li forgets worry to estimate that his injury should be able to recover in about half a month. At that time, he will also bid farewell to the Hult tribe and embark on the journey home.

As for the hurt tribe, Li QIAOYOU plans to send someone to xueyantuo Khanate again after he returns to Chang'an to send them rich gifts to show his gratitude.

Seeing that Li forgets worry and is silent, ah Yi continues to say, "Li forgets worry, don't worry. It will be the day of the big collection in a few days. At that time, I'll change some salt and come back."

Then he continued to say to himself, "but the salt on the grassland is too expensive. A sheep can only change a small bag of salt. Bah, those damn profiteers should be eaten by wolves!"

Hearing the speech, Li forgot to worry. He was stunned and asked, "is the salt on the grassland so expensive?"

"Yes, it's so expensive! A sheep changes a bag of salt." ah zhe said and compared the size of the bag with his hand.

Li forgot to worry. Unexpectedly, salt on the grassland would be so expensive. Look at ah's description. I'm afraid a sheep can't change a liter of salt. It's really a sky high price.

He has read many travel novels in later generations, which describe that salt in the Tang Dynasty was very expensive, and then pig feet became rich by drying salt.

But after crossing the Tang Dynasty, Li forgot to worry about it. The so-called lack of salt in the Tang Dynasty is really nonsense.

Since ancient times, there is no shortage of salt in China.

Only since the Han Dynasty, a policy of "salt and iron official camp" has been put forward, and only the government can sell salt. Since then, successive dynasties have followed this measure, so selling salt has become an extremely profitable industry.

Even in some dynasties, half of the tax source was salt tax.

However, the price of salt in the Tang Dynasty is not high at all. According to the records of food and goods in the book of the new Tang Dynasty, "Tianbao and Zhide have ten dollars for each bucket of salt". In other words, during the Tianbao period, a bucket of salt was only ten Wen.

A bucket of Datang is about 12.5 kilograms for later generations. In other words, 12.5 kilograms of salt is 40 or 50 yuan. It's really not expensive.

Until the suzong period of the Tang Dynasty, the "salt debating law" was implemented, and the imperial court monopolized salt on the market, and the officials ended up selling it. As a result, the price of salt soared to 110 Wen per bucket of salt, which was really unbearable.

It is precisely because the price of salt is too high that a large number of illegal salt traffickers appear.

Huang Chao, who accelerated the demise of the Tang Dynasty, was born as a salt smuggler.

So to some extent, the price of salt also determines the national luck.

Even in the late Tang Dynasty, the price of 110 Wen and a bucket of salt was not as exaggerated as the price of salt on the grassland.

In Chang'an City, the price of a sheep is about two times.

At the price of Chang'an, a sheep can exchange 200 buckets of salt. On the grassland, I can't even change a liter.

2000% windfall profits!

Li forgot to worry and scolded secretly in his heart. As expected, he was a damn profiteer.

"Dalang, don't change the salt. I don't have to eat salt." Li forgets worry and doesn't mean to ask a Diena sheep to change the "high price salt".

As a guest of the Hult tribe, he didn't mean to eat such expensive salt. Besides, after he woke up, although he didn't go out of the tent, he only looked at the furnishings in his tent. Li forgetful knew that the Hult tribe was not rich.

According to ah die, this tent is also the tent of the leader of Xijie.

But the tents of the leaders of the Hult tribe are so simple and even shabby that Li forgets to worry about how he can say he wants to eat salt.

Seeing Li forget sorrow say so, ah fell and didn't insist. After all, he was heartbroken to exchange the sheep for a little salt.

Under the warm invitation of Xijie leader and a die, Li forgot to worry and stayed in the hurt tribe to recover.

He fell from the sand boat, mainly skin and flesh wounds, but he was lucky not to hurt his bones.

So after lying in the tent for a few days, he was able to walk on the ground.

This day, with the help of ah die, Li forget worry finally walked out of the tent and was ready to go out to bask in the sun and get some air. After lying in the tent for several days, he really choked him.

Out of the tent, what appeared in front of Li forget worry was a vibrant small tribe.

Under the blue sky, children happily chase each other in the Hult tribe formed by dozens of tents. The men of the tribe rode horses and waved their whip to drive away flocks of cattle and sheep. The women of the tribe gathered in groups to do all kinds of housework instead of making bursts of silver bell like laughter

Everything in front of him was so fresh that Li Qieyou, who had managed to escape from sand thieves and wolves, could not help but feel sour in his nose and almost shed tears.

Li forgot to worry about his life. When he felt it was good to be alive, he saw many young women of the Hult tribe running in front of him in twos and threes. Without saying anything, he stuffed arrow feathers wrapped in colored ribbons into his arms.

Even Jaro, adieu's sister.

Without waiting for Li forget you to react, these young women of the Hult tribe covered their mouths and ran away, leaving Li forget you confused, so
