The four people of Qinghua and Qinghua were all smiles after eating this meal, and their stomachs were full. It's really delicious. Compared to their tribe, this place is heaven.
After dinner, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and Alan sent Ye Meng to pick up the guests and rest.
Lin Yan and the others also dispersed. After a trip, they were exhausted physically and mentally. When they got home, they just wanted to rest quickly.
As soon as he got home, Lin Yan lay down on the pit and fell asleep after washing up.
Huahong and Jinzai wanted to ask her about what they had seen on the road, but they had to wait until tomorrow.
The fire in the Civil Affairs Bureau has not been extinguished. Yun Qing reported what he saw and heard during the trip to the arbitration tribunal staff overnight.
Alan asked: "The relationship between the Wilderness Tribe and the Qingyan Tribe is very good?"
"Yes, the two tribes have known each other for a long time and have been exchanging goods since their ancestors. The wilderness tribe exchanged cotton cloth for the salt of the Qingyan tribe." When mentioning salt, Yun Qing remembered Lin Yan's insistence, "Lin Yan insisted that we should A large amount of salt is exchanged for salt, which is a necessity in our lives. I have tasted salt, and it tastes very strange, but people from the Wilderness Tribe and Qingyan Tribe must put some salt in whatever they cook. Some people live very poor lives, and even Have to trade something for salt.”
"Where's the salt you brought back? Bring it and let us taste it too."
When the salt was placed on the table, everyone present reached out to dip some into their mouths, and immediately let out a series of bah-bah-bah.
Yun Qing was not surprised at all, she had the same reaction at that time.
Mrs. Shui was puzzled, "This stuff tastes so weird. Why would you eat it?"
"It really doesn't look like food."
Yun Qing said: "The salty taste is bitter. I heard that meat cured with salt can be preserved longer and taste better. Their tribe uses it to pickle fish and hang it under the eaves to dry."
"Is salt really that useful?" Alan had doubts after tasting it himself, but then thought of Lin Yan, the child wouldn't buy salt for no reason.
Yun Qing shook his head, "I don't know either. Let Lin Yan and the others come and tell everyone tomorrow. I saw that the children had the same expression after tasting it, but they firmly believe that Lin Yan is right."
Hongying: "Lin Yan must be right to do this."
Ye Zi also said: "I also think Lin Yan must have done the right thing. Yun Qinggang also said that the Qingyan and Yuanye tribes cannot live without salt. There must be a reason."
Some people think Lin Yan is right, while others are skeptical and can only wait until tomorrow to hear what Lin Yan and others say, and what Yuan Qing and others think.
The arbitral tribunal meeting lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening and then dispersed.
Back home, Alan couldn't sleep for a long time. This was the first time he met two large tribes, especially the Qingyan tribe, which had a population equal to that of Sun City.
She was wondering whether it was right or wrong to let Yun Qing and the others go out. People who are not from the same tribe will inevitably be threatened. Especially since everything in Sun City is new to them, what should they do if they have evil intentions?
After a sleepless night, Alan came to the Civil Service Courtyard early the next day, waiting for others to arrive.
Also unable to sleep were Yuan Qing and the other four.
Qinghua recalled the scenes she saw after getting off the boat today. After being deeply shocked, she became envious. Who wouldn’t want a place like this?
Compared with Sun City, the Qingyan tribe is very dilapidated and backward, with no brick houses, wide and clean streets, delicious food, lively markets, and advanced tools.
Yes, in her opinion, the trolley she saw today had broken her cognition. Before she came, she had thought that someone who could build such a strong ship must be very powerful. But after seeing it, I felt that everything was more incredible than I imagined.
After living for more than twenty years, Qinghua felt for the first time that the gap between people was too big. She specifically asked Shuisheng about the special woman she saw when she got off the boat.
Shuisheng told her that it was Hong Ling, their partner, who was particularly clever and clever. The cloth and clothes in Sun City are what they are now because of her efforts.
Looking back on the people I saw today, they all had bright smiles on their faces, and they were not overwhelmed by the poverty of life.
Although most of the people in the Qingyan Tribe are optimistic and upbeat, they still can't compare to the heartfelt happiness of the people in Sun City.
Qinghua felt that this trip was the right one and it was an eye-opener. She would work hard every day in the future, hoping to help the people of the Qingyan tribe when she returned.
When he woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. Lin Yan lay on the kang and didn't want to get up. He had been on the boat for more than a month and couldn't sleep peacefully. Only when he got home could he sleep comfortably. It felt so good. .
After lying there for a while, her stomach growled, so she got up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat, thinking that Alan must be eager to see her.
Judging from Yun Qing and Alan's style, they must have had a meeting last night, and the issue of salt would definitely be mentioned.
There were still many things to do, so Lin Yan packed up and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
I met Lao Lin on the way. He was going out to the fish pond. As soon as he saw Lin Yan, he looked at her and said, "She looks thinner. This trip is very hard."
"Hey, Lao Lin, you have lost weight too."
"Nonsense, I eat well at home every day, how could I have lost weight? You have really lost a lot of weight, and it makes me feel bad to see you. The little baby needs to eat more and exercise more to grow strong."
"Yeah, you're right. I will definitely eat more and grow back the lost meat as soon as possible. Where is Lin Yun, what are you busy with recently?"
Speaking of his son, Lao Lin smiled slightly and sighed, "I don't know what he thinks about every day. He is either in the laboratory or at home writing and drawing, or he is planning wood or smelting. I work in the factory and don’t listen to what I say. You just happened to be back, help me persuade Lin Yun and let him work hard."
Lin Yun stuck out his tongue, "Lin Yun is doing business, so don't rush him to do his work."
"What's the matter?" Old Lin asked hurriedly, "I asked Lin Yun, but he didn't say anything, which is very worrying."
"Keep it secret for now. When Lin Yun gets results, you will definitely be proud of him."
Lin Yun said with a smile and ran away, fearing that Old Lin would drag her to get to the bottom of it. That was Lin Yun's business, and she couldn't say much.
When they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau and saw Alan and the others, Lin Yan smiled and said, "You are not waiting for me, are you?"
Hongying said first: "We are discussing things, and you are here just in time."
"Okay, Captain Yun Qing has already reported to you, right?"
"Yun Qing already explained the situation last night." Mrs. Shui immediately added, "I want to ask your opinion again today."
Lin Yan looked around and saw that most of the members of the arbitration tribunal were there, but Heitu was missing. She asked, "Heitu is not here?"
Shui Pozi: "Kurotu went to the mine and can't come today."
Lin Yan nodded, "Qinghua and their four guests have already made arrangements. I'm a little worried about them. Do you need me to accompany them?"
"No. I've asked Shui Sheng and Huang Ying to greet them these days, so you don't have to worry." Alan took out his notebook and pen, "Let's talk about business first, what do you think about salt."
Others stopped joking and got serious.
