After the shopkeeper and staff finished their introductory remarks, they immediately opened the bags containing the salt.
As soon as the bags were opened, a vast expanse of sparkling white salt appeared before everyone, causing a stir.
"Wow! This is the salt made by His Highness the Crown Prince? It's so white!"
"Beautiful! This salt is so beautiful. If you hadn't told me it was salt beforehand, I wouldn't have believed such white salt could exist in this world!"
"As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, the salt he makes is truly different. This kind of salt can absolutely be called the finest salt! Is this salt really only sold at one-tenth the price??"
Upon seeing the salt, everyone was astonished.
They had never seen such beautiful, high-quality salt before.
This salt was more like a work of art.
It would not lose face in any noble or wealthy family's home.
Even in the Xianyang Palace, it would be praised endlessly.
Yet, such excellent salt was being sold at only one-tenth the price of ordinary salt. Such a price was truly perplexing.
Some even felt a flicker of doubt in their hearts.
They wondered if this salt was truly good. Would it taste good?
If it tasted good, why was it sold so cheaply?
If anyone else sold salt this cheaply, the common people would certainly be wary, fearing something might be wrong.
But Lin Tian was different from others. Lin Tian was the Crown Prince of Great Qin and a trusted figure among the people of Great Qin.
They believed that the salt sold by Lin Tian would have no issues.
Therefore, even though Lin Tian's pricing was extraordinary, they chose to trust him.
"Never mind, I'll buy some first. Give me ten catties, I want to try it!"
"Right! Give me twenty catties, I'll buy some to try at home!"
"Then I'll take one catty, I need to try it too!"
The specific taste of the salt was something everyone hadn't experienced yet.
Because of this, many people kept speaking, wanting to buy some to taste.
The shopkeeper and staff in the store immediately arranged for this.
They had all received training, and they were very good at selling salt.
As a result, those who said they wanted to buy salt soon received their salt.
Then, without any hesitation, these people took a pinch in front of others and began to taste it.
This tasting experience was completely different.
As a pinch of salt was placed in their mouths, they couldn't help but savor it carefully.
These people had all eaten salt before, and they knew that besides being salty, salt also contained other flavors.
These were the impurities in the salt.
If one was lucky, they could taste a hint of deliciousness.
If one was unlucky, they might even taste salt with the flavor of excrement.
Yet, even such salt was unaffordable for many ordinary people.
More common folk could only glimpse the appearance of salt, unable to afford to buy it.
Now, such cheap salt appeared before them, truly captivating them.
As for those who had tasted salt before, they had never tasted such pure salt.
Aside from the pure salty taste, there were no other flavors.
Such a pure taste was truly incredible.
"Good salt, this is truly the purest, best salt! Old Man Hu has eaten salt for so many years, and I've never tasted such pure salt!"
"Right! This salt is too good, it has no strange taste, only the taste of salt. This peerless treasure salt is probably worth ten thousand pieces of gold and it wouldn't be an exaggeration!"
"This, this is all the care and concern of His Highness the Crown Prince for us! Besides His Highness the Crown Prince, who else would provide such good salt for us poor people? We should all thank His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Many people, after tasting such pure salt, couldn't help but shed tears.
On one hand, it was because the salt was simply too good, bringing them to tears.
On the other hand, they were touched by Lin Tian.
They understood that if anyone else possessed such pure salt, they would undoubtedly exchange it for boundless wealth.
Only Lin Tian, the Crown Prince, would offer so much salt to them, the common people, allowing them to taste such pure salt.
Not only that, but he sold it so cheaply. This was truly moving.
Therefore, at this moment, someone immediately shouted:
"One hundred catties, I want to buy one hundred catties of this salt!"
"One thousand catties, these are the Crown Prince's people, I can certainly buy one thousand catties!"
"Who can't afford to buy a thousand catties of salt? Don't compete with me, the Crown Prince's salt is mine, I'll buy a thousand catties too!"
Before this, aside from the truly wealthy, who would dare to buy a thousand catties of salt?
A thousand catties of salt represented immense wealth.
But now, with Lin Tian's salt being sold so cheaply, others had no reservations and bought it in quantities of a thousand catties at a time.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper and staff intervened in time.
"Everyone, considering that many people need salt, His Highness the Crown Prince has decreed that each person can buy a maximum of ten catties of salt for now!"
"So, please don't think about buying a thousand catties of salt. Such excellent salt should be enjoyed by more people!"
This statement immediately garnered the approval of countless people.
"That's right, such a good person should be enjoyed by more people. We were too greedy, thinking of buying all of it!"
"I also agree that such good salt should be enjoyed by more people, so I won't buy so much. Just give me ten catties!"
"Give me ten catties too, and I'll come back to buy more after I've finished it!"
With these words, others also responded, only buying ten catties.
And their purchase of only ten catties indeed provided more opportunities for other commoners to buy.
It also led to a continuous stream of people buying salt.
Large numbers of commoners entered and exited, purchasing salt to their heart's content.
Many even lined up to buy salt.
Meanwhile, the salt merchants selling other types of salt had no customers.
Although they also sold edible salt, their salt was not only expensive but also full of impurities.
In the past, no matter how proud they were, people would still buy their salt.
But now, even if they bowed their heads to the ground, no one came to buy their salt.
Once people learned that the salt produced by Crown Prince Lin Tian was better and cheaper, they naturally flocked to buy Lin Tian's salt.
Even if it required more time, they were unwilling to consume the old salt anymore.
The customer traffic there was enough to make others envious.
