Chapter 366 Change the Salt
When they first arrived at their site, the team didn't want to make a high profile, so they cooked a big pot of noodles, put a few cabbages in it, and didn't put any meat, so they just finished the dinner like this.

But even so, it still attracts the attention of the villagers.Especially the attention of children.However, they were very sensible and didn't come around, but just looked around from a distance.

At this time, Lao Yang's family finally remembered their savior, and couldn't afford to invite so many people to dinner, so they could only bring some of their own pickled ham and dried bamboo shoots.The number is not much, but they have done their utmost sincerity.After all, even their own family can't bear to eat these things.

The ham here is all salted with homemade well salt, with a thick layer of salt. Just scraping off the outer layer of salt is enough for an ordinary family in Chitose Village to eat carefully for several months.This also shows that there is really no shortage of salt here.

The people in the motorcade looked at the small half of the ham, and they felt happy, which meant that they came to the right place.Once they got the salt in hand, they could go home right away.

Although Wu Qingfeng didn't lose them all the way, and even lived a better life than at home, but everything is good, it is always the best at home.When you are away from home, how can you not miss your loved ones at home?

Wu Qingfeng and Lian Yao also studied the small half of ham together.The layer of salt smeared on the top is relatively large, not as fine as the salt sold in the supermarket before, and the taste is slightly bitter.But it doesn't matter, as long as it can add salt to the human body.

And since there is no shortage of salt here, the price should not be too expensive.Perhaps the food they brought could be exchanged for more salt than they expected.

The location of Waji Village is even more remote than that of Qiantose Village. There is not even a concrete road. The only road is a gravel road built by the ancestors of the village. Unlike Qiantose Village, at least there is an asphalt road passing the village entrance.

The terrain here is also higher. At night, the temperature drops sharply. It is definitely not possible to imagine that you can just lay down on the ground with a fire and sleep all night.It was still very hot when we came out, and no one thought about bringing thick clothes and quilts out.If you want to sleep outside for a night in this unlined clothes, you will definitely catch a cold.

So except for the staff on duty, basically everyone squeezed into the car and endured the whole night.

The next day, everyone got up very early, stretched their arms and kicked their legs after getting out of the car, and stretched the bones that had been wronged all night.

Although sleeping in a tent was not wronged, Wu Qingfeng also got up very early and led the Spike team members around the hills near the village for training early in the morning, and by the way, touched the basic situation of the village.

"There are salt wells all over the southwest of the village, and there is still a lot of salt in the pot next to it. Maybe we can get enough salt here, so we don't have to look for the salt field anymore."

Wu Qingfeng washed his face casually with the water that Lian Yao had just washed, and told Lian Yao what he had detected in detail.

"It seems that a lot of medicinal materials are produced around here, do you want to change some?"

Hearing the medicinal materials, Lian Yao became a little interested: "If there is a lot of food, I can change it. But I want to dig herbs."

Fresh herbs or seeds can be planted in the soil.There is interest in the soil, and she doesn't worry about whether she can't support her.As long as it is planted in the soil, she will never have to worry about the shortage of this medicine.Because as long as she wants, she can use the soil to grow many.

Lao Yang took his family and the village head to the place where the convoy was stationed.

"Son, come, kowtow to your father's benefactors. If it weren't for them, you would never have father in the future." Lao Yang's wife was wearing an indigo jacket with lace and embroidered buttons and slanted breasts with ethnic characteristics. The pleated skirt, also embroidered with lace, came up and pushed his seven-year-old son to kowtow to Wu Qingfeng.

The honest-looking little boy knelt down on the ground without thinking about it after hearing what his mother said. The sound of "Boom" made people worry that his kneecap would be damaged.

Wu Qingfeng scooped him up, and said in a calm tone, "I'll save you, and you lead me the way. It's a fair deal between us."

It means that everyone owes nothing to anyone.

It is said to be a fair trade, but Lao Yang is not a person who does not know good and bad. Even if he does not lead the way, he will definitely be able to exchange for salt with their skills, but he has earned a magic cage and a life. Don't owe?
But Wu Qingfeng insisted that Lao Yang's family can't screw it up, so they can just let it go.But I still decided in my heart that I must do my best to help the team.

It is also because the motorcade rescued Lao Yang. Although he is not from the village, he is also the son-in-law of the village, and he refused to accept their thanks in a "high manner", which made the villagers feel good about them.

Knowing that the team needed to replace the salt, and their village was short of everything except salt, they naturally enthusiastically took out all the salt in the village.

It stands to reason that they should not collect grain and give salt to their benefactors.However, the quantity requested by the convoy is too large, and others will definitely not accept it for free. Moreover, they are still short of food, so they don't have the confidence to forcefully refuse the request to exchange food for salt.

In the past, their village also sold salt, and they used the money in exchange for salt to buy back the food and daily necessities they needed.Naturally, the higher the salt price, the better.But there is nowhere to buy these things now, and no amount of salt is of any use to them.Now people exchange the worthless salt with food that can survive, and they are also Lao Yang's benefactor, so they are embarrassed to set the price of salt too high.

After their discussion, the village chief, Long Aiai, embarrassedly proposed that a catty of salt be exchanged for a catty of grain.

The one-to-one pricing stunned the entire team, and they couldn't believe their ears for a long time.They made a good plan to exchange even eight catties of rice for one catty of salt. What happened?A catty of rice is exchanged for a catty of salt. The price is so low that they doubt their lives.

No one on the convoy side made a sound for a long time, and everyone in the village was in a hurry.I thought it was because the benefactor thought they were talking too much, and the asking price was too high.They met again and discussed for a while, and decided to exchange them at the ratio of one catty of rice to two catties of salt.

As soon as the words came out, Wu Qingfeng shook his head firmly.The village chief thought about letting the benefactors watch and just give some grain, and they just collected the salt. Anyway, the salt didn't cost much, it was just a matter of going up the mountain to collect some firewood.

As a result, I heard Wu Qingfeng on the opposite side say: "This price is too low, and it's too bad for you. It's not easy for us to come all the way, so we can take advantage of you and give it to someone who is a little lower than the outside market, just a catty of salt." How about the exchange rate for three catties of rice?"

Now it was the turn of the people from Waji Village to be stunned.I didn't hear about buying things, but I thought the seller's price was too cheap, and I took the initiative to raise the price for the other party, and if I doubled it, it would triple.

When he came back to his senses, the village chief waved his hands again and again to firmly disagree.

Food is too important to them, more precious than gold.And salt is like mud on the side of the road, they are plentiful.How can the mud on the ground be exchanged for food that is more precious than gold?

The buyer thought the seller's asking price was too cheap, and the seller thought the buyer's price was too high. This was a very strange business negotiation that opened the eyes of everyone present.

The final result of the negotiation was to take a step back and exchange at the ratio of one catty of salt for two catties of rice.
