In the end, Ah Yue still couldn't carry the hundreds of kilograms of coarse salt. The clerk in the salt shop got three cents from Ah Yue as a favor fee and helped Ah Yue carry the salt to the cloth store to find Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan bought an iron pot and gauze early, and also bought a steel hatchet for use on the road.
He had long wanted to buy one for emergencies. The road was a mess. Everyone he saw on the road looked like a robber. He didn't feel safe without a knife!
The waiter glanced at Liang Chuan and didn't say anything else. Poor people these days also want to have face. They can't afford to buy coarse salt, so they can only let their children show up.
After all, they are the Nong people in the mountains, and the conditions are much worse than those at the bottom. They are so poor in the mountains that they only have rocks and no soil. They can't grow anything good on the land. They don't have enough money to buy salt.
The Han family's management of salt was equivalent to holding the lifeblood of Guangnandong people. The imperial court set up a horse market in Yongzhou specifically to purchase Yunnan horses from the southwest.
The things they used to buy horses were low-quality silver mixed with copper. It was said that the silver content was only 60% at most, and coarse salt mixed with soil. .
Even if it is coarse salt, these Dong people in the southwest can only tolerate it. If they don't eat it, they will die.
Liang Chuan said thank you to the waiter, then carried more than a hundred kilograms of salt on his back and prepared to leave Andezhou!
Before the two of them walked out of the city gate, Ah Yue saw a piece of paper posted on the notice wall next to the city gate. There was a portrait drawn on it. Although it was a bit abstract, it was somewhat similar to Liang Chuan, and she immediately shouted. He stood up and said, "Dad, look at your portrait!"
Liang Chuan took a closer look and saw a portrait painted on a piece of yellow rice paper. Liang Chuan was most curious about this kind of ancient human painting. It was far worse than a sketch. How could anyone think it looked like it?
The man in the portrait has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He and I are clearly two different people, okay!
Of course Liang Chuan didn't think it was the same, because his body had long been someone else's. When he saw the portrait, he still thought of the old self. His current body and appearance were like a stranger to him, so naturally he wouldn't think so. picture! Later generations like Liang Chuan had the technology of photography, and even if they didn't use sketches, they still had sketches, and none of them looked more like this kind of drawing with ink!
But in Ah Yue's view, this is Dad! Children look alike, and they cannot tell lies.
They didn't look alike, but the next scene really made Liang Chuan feel incredible!
The missing person notice reads: Looking for Liang Chuan, male, in his early thirties, scarred all over, strong and powerful. If anyone knows anything about it, he will be rewarded heavily!
The name is the same as mine!
Moreover, Liang Chuan looked at the scars on his body and found that they were similar to those described in this revelation. Is it possible? . .
What these people are looking for is the owner of the body they had before they traveled through time!
It's not impossible, but the discrepancy between this kind of portrait is too great. There should be quite a few people named Liang Chuan who don't have scars on their bodies these days. It's possible to meet him by chance. How could he be looking for him?
"Is dad looking for you?"
Liang Chuan's thoughts were disrupted by Ah Yue, and he continued to read the revelation. The revelation originally had a reward written on it, but later someone deliberately erased it with ink, thinking he wanted to hide something.
Liang Chuan didn't think much and watched until the end, contact person: Zheng Lixian of Yongzhou Escort Agency!
Escort agency!
Why are there escort agencies these days?
Why does Liang Chuan feel that he remembered it wrong? His knowledge base clearly told him that it was absolutely impossible! The escort agency did not arise until the late Ming Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty!
Logistics organizations like Escorts appeared in the Ming Dynasty, but did not exist in the Song Dynasty, especially in the early Song Dynasty!
Zheng Lixian, I don’t even know this person!
The two of them stared at the notice for a long time. Someone slowly noticed something was wrong with Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan took Ah Yue and walked decisively towards the small temple on the mountain: "We can't stay here for too long, let's go!"
There are two types of missing person revelations. One is the missing family revelation. When a loved one is separated, everyone will be happy when they are found.
There is also a wanted order!
This kind of people have personal vendettas in the world, but they dare not express it in the name of the government.
It's when the person's head falls to the ground. In the name of looking for someone, he actually comes to seek revenge!
Liang Chuan looked at the missing person notice that had been deliberately erased. The paper had turned yellow a long time ago. If there was nothing wrong with it, why was it covered up on purpose? There must be something wrong!
At this time, although Liang Chuan wanted to find out his life experience, it was the life experience of this body and had little to do with him as a time traveler. If he found his enemy, it would be really over!
It's not a risk worth taking.
Before trouble came to him, Liang Chuan carried a hundred kilograms of salt on his back and held a half-year-old child in his hands. He climbed over the mountains and ridges and returned to the small temple where he buried the money.
"I just bought two chickens in the city. They are in the bag on my back. You can take them off and handle them. Remember what I did last time."
Ah Yue nodded excitedly, but Liang Chuan threw away a piece of chicken. He bought two more chickens, so he could finally eat them to his heart's content!
The little girl has long wanted to learn that novel cooking method so that she can have delicious roast chicken in the future!
Little Ah Yue only killed one chicken, leaving the other one to be slaughtered next time.
She disemboweled the chicken, left the feathers on, wrapped the outside with a layer of yellow mud, and roasted it slowly over the fire.
The firewood was already lit. Although the fire was extinguished long ago, the charcoal on it quickly started burning again with a strong fire.
Ah Yue followed Liang Chuan's example, digging a hole in the ground, smearing salt into the belly of the chicken, and then placing the mud balls in the hole to roast slowly.
Liang Chuan carried more than 100 kilograms of salt on his back to climb the mountain, and almost broke his legs from exhaustion.
Behind the small temple, he is about to start his own purification project!
With such a sneaky approach, I don’t know if he thought he was purifying some high-purity hydroxyin.
Liang Chuan laughed at himself. He could earn so much money in just one day. It wouldn't take long for them to go back and buy a few cattle and sheep with Ah Yue, so that they could retire peacefully.
The salt sold in Ande Prefecture was cheaper than that of Guangyuan Prefecture, which surprised him.
However, how much refined salt can be purified from the salt is also a question.
If it is purified, the proportion of salt will be lower than that of Guangyuan Prefecture, so it will be useless no matter how cheap the price is!
Liang Chuan himself set up a fire behind the temple with an iron pot on it, fetched water nearby, and started boiling salt in the pot.
The most troublesome thing about purifying table salt is filtering out the impurities in the coarse salt. This step is not as fast as you want, and you don’t have a particularly large container. You can only filter it through a small bamboo tube, and then pour it directly into the pot.
I'm afraid I won't be able to get the one hundred kilograms of salt this time until tomorrow!
Liang Chuan had just finished boiling the first pot of salt water and scraped off the salt, preparing to purify it again. Ah Yue has already roasted the chicken.
The two of them were eating roast chicken, and Ah Yue suddenly asked, "Dad, are you the person on the paper just now?"
Liang Chuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I'm definitely not that person!"
Ah Yue was confused and didn't know, yet she was so sure.
"Dad, if you find your family, will you leave Ah Yue and go back alone?"
When Ah Yue spoke, her voice was small and she had no confidence at all.
She finally found a father, but she didn't dare to feel at ease, fearing that this sense of security would soon be lost.
Liang Chuan didn't know at this time that he was already a time-traveler, and that he was a time-traveler who had lived in this world for seven or eight years. His children could even play soy sauce. He only thought that he had just time-traveled over and there was no home for him in this world. Where else could he go back?
The body belongs to others, and the family belongs to them even more. Does he, an "outsider", want to force his way into someone else's world?
"I won't leave. If you call me daddy, you will always be my daughter. Even if I go back, I will take you back with me!"
"Can you not go back? I don't want to leave you, nor do I want to leave Anon."
Liang Chuan thought for a while, touched Ah Yue's head and said, "Okay, then I won't leave!"
"Daddy, I'm going to get you some roast chicken!"
Plump roast chicken, Ah Yue made it
It's very rough, after all, it's the first time I've made it, and the child's strength and skills are not as familiar as Liang Chuan's. However, beggar's chicken does not have high requirements for craftsmanship. It is originally what beggars eat. How can it be put on the table? What else can you ask for? What good craftsmanship?
Liang Chuan still gave Ah Yue the fattest chicken drumstick. This time Ah Yue pushed it. She was worried that because of her greed, Liang Chuan might not want her in the end. She didn't want this to happen.
How could Liang Chuan understand that a child was so thoughtful? He gave the chicken legs to Ah Yue and took a few bites of the chicken breasts, treating it as a meal.
"Where are we going next?"
Ah Yue took small bites of the chicken legs and asked Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan's plan was to take a shot and change to another place. His salt had been sold to people in Andezhou, and he would have to change to another place next time.
"There are two roads at the foot of the mountain. One leads to Andezhou, which is where we have been. Where does the other lead?"
"Listen to Anon, it seems like you are going to Tangyouzhou!"
"What a strange name. Have you ever been to Tangyouzhou?"
"I haven't been there, but Anon and his friends often go to Tuangyou Prefecture because the chieftain there is the younger brother of our chieftain in Guangyuan Prefecture!"
Is there such an operation? Liang Chuan thought that the people in this place were all family members, but he didn't expect that the brothers could become chieftains in two places!
"Where has our chieftain gone? I haven't seen him in Guangyuan for so long!"
"I don't understand, and they won't tell me."
"Well, our next target is Tuangyouzhou!"
Liang Chuan spent two days and finally successfully purified more than a hundred kilograms of coarse salt to only about sixty kilograms. As expected, it was cheap but not good. The purity of the salt in Ande Prefecture was actually much lower than that of Guangyuan Prefecture. A pound of salt costs a penny less, so you get what you pay for.
But Liang Chuan won’t suffer any loss!
His original plan was to take dozens of kilograms of salt to the next place. The salt would be worth more than 10,000 yuan in money. Putting it in this poor place is enough to make unscrupulous people come to him with murderous intentions. trouble!
