survival in the wilderness

Chapter 187 Salt
The four blue and white people who ate this meal were all smiling, their stomachs full.It's really delicious. Compared with their tribe, this place is heaven.

After dinner, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and Alan sent Yemeng over to pick up the guests to rest.

Lin Yan and the others also broke up. They went out for a trip, exhausted physically and mentally, and only wanted to rest as soon as possible when they returned home.

As soon as he got home, Lin Yan lay down on the pit after washing and fell asleep.

Hua Hong and Jin Zai wanted to ask her what they saw on the road, so they had to wait until tomorrow.

The flames of the Civil Affairs Court did not go out for a long time, and Yun Qing reported what he saw and heard during the trip to the arbitral tribunal overnight.

Alan asked: "The Yuanye tribe and the Qingyan tribe have a good relationship?"

"Yeah, the two tribes have known each other for a long time, and they have been exchanging goods since their ancestors. The Yuanye tribe exchanged cotton cloth for the salt of the Qingyan tribe." Speaking of salt, Yun Qing remembered Lin Yan's insistence, "Lin Yan insisted that we should A large amount of salt is exchanged, which is a necessity in our life. I tasted salt, and the taste was very strange, but the people of the Yuanye tribe and the Qingyan tribe always put some salt into their meals. Some people lived in poverty, and even To exchange things for salt."

"Where's the salt you brought back, let us have a taste."

When the table salt was placed on the table, everyone in the room dipped some of it into their mouths, and immediately let out a series of pee pee pee pee.

Yun Qing was not surprised at all, she also had the same reaction at the time.

Shui Pozi was puzzled, "This food tastes too weird, what are you doing eating it?"

"It really doesn't look like food."

Yun Qing said: "It's salty with bitterness. I heard that meat cured with salt can be preserved for a longer period of time and taste better. Their tribes use it to pickle fish and hang it under the eaves to dry."

"Salt is really so useful?" After A Lan tasted it herself, she also had doubts, but then thought of Lin Yan, that child would not want to buy salt for no reason.

Yun Qing shook his head, "I don't know either. Let Lin Yan and the others come and tell you about it tomorrow. I saw those children also had the same expression after tasting it, but they firmly believed that Lin Yan was right."

Hongying: "Lin Yan must be doing the right thing."

Ye Zi also said: "I also think that what Lin Yan did is definitely right. Yun Qinggang also said that there must be a reason why the two tribes of Qingyan and Yuanye cannot do without salt."

Some people think that Lin Yan is right, while others remain skeptical. They can only wait for tomorrow to hear what Lin Yan and the others have to say, and what Yuan Qing and the others think.

The arbitral tribunal's meeting lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening, and the people dispersed.

Back home, Ah Lan couldn't fall asleep for a long time. This was the first time he met two big tribes, especially the Qingyan tribe, whose population was comparable to that of Sun City.

She was thinking 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.In particular, all kinds of Sun City are very novel to them, if they have evil intentions, what should they do.

After tossing and turning all night, Alan came to the official office early the next day, waiting for others to come.

Also unable to sleep were Yuan Qing and the other four.

Qing Hua recalled what she saw after getting off the boat today, and after being deeply shocked, she felt envious.Who wouldn't want a place like this.

Compared with Sun City, Qingyan Tribe is very dilapidated and backward. There are no brick and tile houses, no wide and clean streets, much less delicious meals, lively markets, and advanced tools.

That's right, in her opinion, the trolley she saw today has broken her cognition. Before coming here, she thought that the person who can build such a strong ship must be very powerful.After seeing it, I felt that everything was more unbelievable than imagined.

After living for more than 20 years, Qinghua felt for the first time that the gap between people was too great. She specifically asked Shuisheng about the special woman she saw when she got off the boat.

Shui Sheng told her that it was Hong Ling, their partner, and he was very ingenious.The cloths and clothes in Sun City are what they are now through her hard work.

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 also optimistic, they are still incomparable to the genuine happiness of the people in Sun City.

Qing Hua felt that this trip was so right, it was an eye-opener, and she will work hard every day in the future, hoping to help the people of the Qingyan tribe after returning.

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 was nestled on the boat for more than a month, and he couldn't sleep at ease. Only when he got home could he sleep comfortably. This feeling is so refreshing .

After lingering for a while, her stomach growled, she got up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat, thinking that Alan must be eager to see her.

With Yun Qing and Ah Lan's style, they must have had a meeting last night, and the issue of salt must have been mentioned.

There are still many things to do, Lin Yan packed up and went to the civil affairs office.

On the way, I met Lao Lin. He was going out to go to the fish pond. As soon as he saw Lin Yan, he sized her up, "Looks like she's thinner, this trip is very hard."

"Hey, Lao Lin, you've lost weight too."

"Nonsense, I eat well at home every day, so I might have lost weight. You really lost a lot of weight, and it makes people feel distressed to look at it. The little baby needs to eat more and exercise more to grow strong."

"Yeah, you're right. I must eat more and grow back the lost meat as soon as possible. What about Lin Yun, what have you been up to lately?"

When mentioning his son, Lao Lin smiled slightly and sighed, "I don't know what he thinks every day. He is either in the laboratory or writing and drawing at home all day, or he just planed wood and didn't go to smelting. Work in the factory, but you don’t listen to what you say. It’s just that you are back, help me persuade Lin Yun to work hard.”

Lin Yun stuck out his tongue, "Lin Yun is doing business, so don't urge him to work."

"What's the matter?" Lao Lin hurriedly asked, "I asked Lin Yun, but he didn't say anything, which made people worry."

"Temporarily keep it secret. When Lin Yun makes achievements, you will definitely be proud of him."

Lin Yun said with a smile and ran away, afraid that Lao Lin would drag her into the bottom line.That was Lin Yun's business, and she didn't want to talk too much.

When he arrived at the official office and saw that Alan and the others had almost arrived, Lin Yan smiled and said, "You are not waiting for me, are you?"

Hongying said first: "We are discussing things, and you just come together."

"Okay, Captain Yun Qing has already reported to you, right?"

"Yun Qing already explained the situation last night." Mrs. Shui immediately continued, "I want to ask your opinion again today."

Lin Yan looked around and found that most of the members of the arbitration tribunal were there, but the black soil was missing. She asked, "Did the black soil come?"

Shui Pozi: "The black soil went to the mine, so I can't come today."

Lin Yan nodded, "Qinghua and his four guests have already made arrangements, I'm a little worried about them, do you need me to accompany them?"

"No. I've asked Shuisheng and Huang Ying to greet them these few days, so you don't have to worry about it." Alan took out her notebook and pen, "Let's talk about the business first. What do you think about salt?"

The others also stopped joking and became serious.
