"These beasts actually eat better than what I used to eat." Every time he passes by the cowshed when work is over, Shomon always takes a look at the salt gourds hanging there with mixed emotions. Now every livestock shed in Galadong has more salt gourds hanging there. With this luxury equipment that the barbarians could not imagine before, an upside-down gourd, every animal can lick the snow-white fine salt from the mouth of the gourd by moving two steps in the shed if it wants to eat! It’s so unimaginable! Not long ago, even Paigang Tusi, the leader of Gala Cave, ate food that was just like "smearing a circle of salt on the pot". Now, even his cattle and sheep can enjoy it. To the delicacies that he could not enjoy as a toast before!
However, everyone can see the benefits of adding salt. The coats of cattle and sheep are much glossier and fatter than before. Now in the evening, the children grazing them only need to blow the whistle twice, and the cattle and sheep will behave. Back in the circle, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many wild beasts in the mountains and forests nearby, we wouldn't even need a shepherd!
Moreover, there is so much salt that it is more than enough to paint walls, not to mention feeding cattle and sheep!
Boiling salt in an iron pot only produces ten or twenty kilograms of salt at a time, but boiling salt in a special bamboo pot can produce nearly a thousand kilograms of salt at a time! So many products instantly flooded the Gala Cave, and even the most conservative and stingy Yi people had to admit that feeding cattle and sheep with fine salt was not an excessive luxury and waste, but... to restore the world to its original appearance?
They didn't think about that much, they just thought about how not to be crushed to death by the white gold that continuously spewed out from the ground!
Hualin taught them a new fishing method, the straight hook fishing method.
The method is to cut the hollow reed into knuckle-length sections, then take the thinnest bamboo leaves left to weave the bamboo pot, bend them and stuff them into the reed, and then thread the reed on the thread. Hang down into the water.
Once the fish mistakes the reeds for falling leaves and swallows them, the bamboo strips hidden inside will pop open after the reeds break, stringing the fish on the fishing line.
Using this method, the Yi people could make reeds hidden in bamboo strips at night, cast the fishing lines at dawn, and then go about their day's work. When it got late and the daylight did not allow them to work, they would return. Go to the place where the fishing line was cast in the morning, harvest the day's catch, and send them to the kitchen to boil or grill them to enrich the meal. If there is any extra, they don't have to worry about not having enough in the chimney now. They have plenty of salt. !
In the past, the Yi people sprinkled a few grains of salt on the fish, which was a common act of enjoyment. Now, they stuff the poor fish directly into the salt bag without hesitation. What they feel distressed is not the salt used but the marinating of the fish. The amount reduced after preparation.
Too much salt! There are so many that it is visible to the naked eye, causing a disaster! There are so many that the barbarians have to think of ways to get rid of some of them!
The cooks in Gala Cave had to cook for thousands of people, but after they tried to use two gourds of salt for two days, the Yi people had turned from their initial joy to threatening to hang them all in Pai while the moon was dark and the wind was high. Just toasted the tree! They had to reduce the amount of salt they used. Of course, it was still much more than before, but what was visible to the naked eye was that they could not digest so much salt by eating alone.
Hualin's new measure: ordering them to use branches dipped in salt to brush their teeth, which used up a negligible amount of salt compared to the production. Even Paigang Toast questioned whether it was too much to use this method to consume their salt production. Pat on the head.
Finally, both the Gala Cave and the newly built huts and warehouses were filled with a material that was once extremely precious to Paigang Chieftain - salt.
Paigang Toast, who knew very well how much he had paid to exchange for salt, fell into a state of dumbfounding when faced with an inventory that could not be consumed. He actually thought he was very smart for a time! It turns out that just by doing this and this again, the slaves can be saved in exchange for some truly precious materials. Why didn't he think of that in the past? He gave Hualin the information about the places where beasts like to appear. Why didn't he think more about it?
He thought that he didn't need to think too much, as long as he sent people out to rob slaves and livestock, he could exchange salt from those merchants. Why bother to study how to obtain salt without going through merchants!
As a result, what he thought was a shortcut turned out to be a long astray.
"Send someone to exchange." Faced with the overflowing salt in the warehouse, Hualin did not order to stop the production of salt, but issued a new order: "In the past, merchants exchanged salt for half price, and in this world There is no customer on the Internet that we can’t win over at half price. If there is, we’ll give it a 30% discount.”
Chieftain Paigang was appointed as the leader of the newly established caravan because of his frequent dealings with merchants outside the mountains. Shomon was also appointed as a member of the caravan because of his ability to lead the way. These Yi people who have spent half their lives using swords, Now they have to fiddle with the account books, which they are not used to, and occasionally miss the days when they were able to do everything at home. However, in the dreams they miss, those pancakes lack salt and oil and don't even have a piece of pickled fish. There is no place!
A caravan carrying bags of salt set out from Gala Cave. Their goal was - "No cavities!"
Wrong, it is to let all the people in Yishan live a good life where even cattle and sheep have salt to eat!
