Space Farmer's Farming Story

Chapter 1352
The washing place is unified by a spring in the cottage.

When Lin Fang'er passed by, he saw several women pickling vegetables.The dishes were not washed, so they were put directly into the jar and spilled a little.

No wonder the pickled vegetables tasted so bad, without salt, they couldn't be fully pickled, which made the pickled vegetables taste like that, and the smell also had a rotten smell.

Lin Fang'er greeted several women with a smile, "Good morning."

The women looked at Lin Jian'er curiously, "Young man, you're new here? What's your name?"

"I'm Lin Jian. You can call me Fang Zi or Xiao Jian." Lin Jian'er replied with a smile, "Ma'am, you are pickling vegetables."

"That's right. While it's still early, quickly marinate the vegetables, and you can catch up and eat them in winter. Otherwise, the winter days will be difficult." One of the women replied.

"I see that the sprinkled salt seems to be a little bit less."

"Oh, there is no way around this. Life in the village is not rich, so the salt is used for everything. If it is not for the winter, I am really reluctant to use salt."

Seeing the aunt's distressed expression, Lin Fang'er felt slanderous in her heart.

Let me go, is Liangshanzhai so poor?

Can't afford a little salt!
The price of salt is not expensive, there is a bucket for a few pennies, and there is a lot of salt for a tael of silver, enough for a person in a cottage to eat for a month or two.

"No matter how rich you are, there is always money to buy salt. I heard from Dashan and others that they often go down the mountain, so it is easy to eat some salt according to reason." Lin Jianer asked puzzled.

Could it be that the two masters above were greedy for money and put most of the money they robbed into their pockets?
As soon as the salt was mentioned, the aunt immediately explained: "Xiao Jian, at first glance, you are not from Fengyu County. You don't know something. The price of salt in our Fengyu County is half a buck for a bucket."

"What?! A bucket and a half hanging money?"

Damn, isn't this money grabbing?

Half a penny is a thousand coins, and under normal circumstances, you can buy a hundred buckets of salt.

"How is this going?"

The price of salt is set by the imperial court, and merchants cannot change it at will.The salt merchants selling salt in Fengyu County obviously violated the law.For such a big event, why didn't there be any wind from outside.

"What else could be going on? The magistrate of the county and the salt merchant raised the price together. At first, many people went to make a fuss, but in the end they were all arrested by the dog official. In desperation, we had no choice but to go to neighboring counties all the way. When I bought salt, I didn’t know that as soon as I bought it, it was confiscated by the government on the way before I got home.”

"Damn it, is there any law for this!" Lin Fang'er said angrily.

The aunt sighed, "What is the law of the king, the words of the magistrate in Fengyu County are the law of the king."

Lin Jian'er finally understood why in this peaceful and prosperous age, some people could not live on, and if they wanted to become bandits, they were forced to do so by this dog official.

No wonder so many people want to kill the dog official, and no wonder the dog official is protected by martial arts masters, because he is hated by others, and they are afraid that someone will kill him.

Don't those dart runners find it strange that this area used to be safe and sound, but there have been so many bandits suddenly in the past two years.

Hey, everything is forced by life!
Salt is related to people's livelihood. If you don't eat salt for a long time, you will be exhausted, your complexion will turn yellow, and all functions will decline.
