Chapter 460 Change the Salt
It was the first time for Lian Yao to see the salt fields by the sea. She didn't understand how sea water was made into salt. She just looked at several square ponds. layer of white salt.This is a bit like the salt that was finally boiled in a pot in Waji Village.

The salt pond reflects the sunlight, which is very dazzling.It was the first time for Lian Yao to see the salt fields by the sea, and she couldn't take her eyes off her eyes.

Wu Qingfeng was worried that her eyes would be punctured, so he walked over to block her view: "Don't look too long under the sun, be careful that your eyes will blur."

The line of sight was cut off, so Lian Yao retracted it, and when she looked up at Wu Qingfeng again, she found that there was a black shadow on Wu Qingfeng's face.She rubbed her eyes, knowing that she had looked at it for too long.

The four people who accompanied them to see the salt field pointed to the salt field and said: "This salt field is also newly opened after coming here, and the salt produced from one acre of seawater is not half of what we used to. Fortunately, the weather is hot enough now, the sun is strong, and the wind is strong." It is also big, and the seawater in the pool evaporates quickly and crystallizes quickly. Otherwise, your visit this time will be in vain.”

Wu Qingfeng looked at a small pile of salt not far from the salt field, then looked at several ponds that had begun to crystallize, and estimated the daily salt production of the salt field in his mind.

Several people walked down the path stepped on.There is no shade in Yantian, and the sun shines directly on people without any shade, which is very uncomfortable.

"It's too hot. We don't come here at this time. We usually wait for the sun to go down before coming here to collect salt." The man who accompanied him kept wiping the sweat off his face, and soon his whole body was wet. It's as wet as if you've been drenched in water.

Looking at this side again, although Wu Qingfeng and Lian Yao were also sweating, they sweated in a restrained manner, not in their embarrassment at all.I can't help but sigh in my heart, this fairy-like character looks so good-looking even when he's sweating.

After taking a rough look at the quality of the salt, Wu Qingfeng took Lian Yao back.This kind of weather is exposed to the sun by the sea. The salty smell of sea water and the smell of sweat make you feel like a salted fish.

The quality of the salt is indeed not very good, with many impurities, it is not as good as the well salt in Waji village.No wonder that a catty of salt can be exchanged for a catty of rice.

This kind of salt must not be used directly like the usual salt, and it is necessary to find a way to separate the impurities before using it.But now is not the time to be particular, it is good to have some salt to eat.

Back in the village, many people had already gathered in a place with more shade at the foot of the mountain, waiting for a few people to pass by.

After Wu Qingfeng and Lian Yao passed by, they found that there was not even a place to sit.Others either squatted under the trees or found a shade and sat directly on the ground.

Wu Qingfeng didn't care, but he didn't want Lian Yao to do these indecent actions like these people.

Those men were also a little embarrassed when they saw Lian Yao, and stood up one after another.

It's probably because I haven't seen such a clean and beautiful woman for a long time. Although I am embarrassed to look directly at her, my eyes drift to Lian Yao from time to time.

Wu Qingfeng was not very happy, and took a step forward to cover Lian Yao completely behind him.Make a quick decision.

After some haggling, the price was finally settled on 25 tons of salt for [-] tons of rice.In addition, it was also agreed to change the salt again at this price next time.

They have plenty of rice, just replace it with more salt.On the contrary, there is not enough salt here.Just such a small salt field, if the weather is not right now, which is the best time to produce salt, the 25 tons of salt will not be enough.

Now the 25 tons of salt are all in stock in the village.This time, Xingang Village didn't leave anything except the salt they ate at home.

As long as the salt is long enough, they will not be short.What they lack most now is food.

There is land here in Xingang Village, but not much food can be grown.Besides, they were originally fishermen, and they were not good at growing food.So most of the ground is planted with some vegetables.The food we eat today is all bought with the salt in our hands.

This batch plus the ordered batch was exchanged twice to forty tons of rice, enough for the whole village to eat for more than a year.

The one-year ration was settled, and the villagers were very happy.Looking at Wu Qingfeng and the two of them as if they were two bodhisattvas, their attitude towards them was also very good.The village also gave them some dried salted fish and shrimp paste.Although not much, it is also a little bit of their heart.

Here Wu Qingfeng took out his cigarettes, and the eyes of the men who had agreed with them to change their cigarettes immediately lit up.

"Brother, how about a catty of salt for a cigarette?"

Although it is urgent, but being forced to grind for such a long time in the last days, everyone can tell whether it is important or not.Although I really want to smoke, but that thing can only be enjoyable, it can neither fill the stomach, nor cure the disease and save the life.Therefore, I will not do anything that will cost me money in order to satisfy my temporary smoking craving.

Wu Qingfeng held the cigarette case in his hand, and remained silent for a long time.It wasn't until they were all waiting anxiously that they asked, "I don't want coarse salt, but fine salt."

"Ah, fine salt? This... this..."

Several people became distressed.They have a lot of salt, but not much fine salt.After all, the conditions are limited now, and they only got a little fine salt to eat at home.What I exchanged with others before was all coarse salt.

"Brother, we don't have a lot of fine salt, and each family will give you a catty at most. But the price is not this price."

Hearing what they said, Wu Qingfeng was relieved knowing that they had fine salt.He didn't intend to exchange these few cigarettes for fine salt.But he had something else that they couldn't refuse.

"I'll exchange cotton with you for fine salt, two catties of cotton for one catty of fine salt."

When Lian Yao heard this, she couldn't help giving Wu Qingfeng a sideways glance.She had just found the cottonseed for a few days, and she hadn't had time to plant it yet.

Wu Qingfeng just smiled at her.He knew that a lot of cotton could be produced in one night with the soil.There is not much fine salt in Xingang Village, nor does it use much cotton.

The reason why he proposed to exchange cotton was because Wu Qingfeng took a rough look at the situation in the village just now and added his own speculation.

People in Xingang Village used to live by the sea, located in the subtropical zone, so the winter would not be very cold, and their winter clothes would not be too thick.I don't know how they survived the last extreme cold, but the clothes on the villagers here are very worn out. They probably don't have enough supplies for the winter, and they must be in urgent need of warm clothes and quilts.

Sure enough, those people who heard Mian Mian were pleasantly surprised.I just hesitated when I heard the exchange price.

They are very short of cotton, and so many people in the village need a lot.But they really don't have much fine salt.Even if they take out all the fine salt they have, the cotton they get back is not enough for the whole village.

But knowing that Wu Qingfeng had cotton in his hand, he absolutely couldn't miss it.So they didn't even care about smoking, and immediately ran back to discuss with other people in the village about changing cotton.

Wu Qingfeng was not in a hurry.He took Lianyao for a walk around the village, and returned to the car after rejecting the kindness of the villagers to invite them to live at home.

The matter of cotton has not been discussed yet. Seeing the sun slowly setting, it is time to collect salt.Thinking that it will take a few days to get the salt together, and the matter of cotton is not in a hurry today, so I still focus on collecting salt.

After a few shouts, the voices of the people in the village also boiled up.No matter men, women, young or old, they all took their tools and walked towards the salt fields by the sea, and began to collect the salt that was dried out today.
