Rebirth in the End Times Bringing the Whole Village to Farm

Chapter 175 173. Salt Well
"Since there is such a good way, we can catch rabbits by ourselves, so we don't have to move to them." Gu Mili's mother has always been a little timid, and she still doesn't agree with moving, but the family has always been the master They were all two old people, so they never made any comments.

"Why do you have such an idea? Uncle Gao managed to find such a good retreat for us, not to mention the benefits you didn't hear from Mi Li and the others just now? Even if you stay here, you will have these hares, but you know what you will face next. What is it?" Gu Dongzhi directly confused his wife with a few questions.

"Isn't this a reluctance to be at home? Although our place is a bit broken, we cleaned it up with our own hands."

"You can only gain if you give up. Go and clean up these hares first, and you can take them on the road tomorrow to eat." Grandpa Gu knew that this daughter-in-law was usually indecisive, but seeing so many hares now, the balance in his heart began to swing. Just let her do something to distract her.

On the second day, Si Cheng was still very thoughtful and didn't call everyone up early in the morning to hurry. Instead, he delayed for some time, and the leaders of the other villages didn't make a sound either.

This time Gaozhuang packed up all the things to be exchanged, and the whole village, old and young, set off together.Originally, he wanted to keep the old man and the children in the village, but Si Cheng looked at the old and the young, and was really worried about leaving them alone in the village, so he simply brought them all with him.It would be too late to regret if something happened while they were away.

It was also because of his decision that the people in Gaozhuang felt more at ease.

"When I was young, I worked in the salt wells here for many years. There are many large and small salt wells here. Although I haven't been here for a long time, I can still hear news from here." Because Grandpa Gao had to lead the way, he followed Si Cheng and the others to lead the way.

"I heard that making well salt is a tiring job, and many people can't persist for long." Today it was the turn of Pinghe Village to open the way, and this time it was Wu Yong and the others.

"No, at that time, everyone was paying attention to eating salt to keep healthy. The old craft of well salt has been slowly abandoned. But after a lot of hype, it has become popular again this year. Because of this, the manufacturing A lot of job opportunities have been opened, and we were introduced by the county at that time."

Since Gaozhuang brought all the cattle out this time, it also relieved everyone's burden a lot. Those things that occupy a large area and are not heavy are all tied to the backs of the cattle, so Sicheng doesn't have to be like a moving mountain. , You can take a telescope to look around from time to time.

"Salt wells are boiled out of groundwater. I don't know if the previous earthquake destroyed those salt wells?" Wu Yong also liked to watch some videos before. Although he didn't know the specific distribution, he still had a certain understanding of the salt wells based on the videos. learn.

"Then they have a lot of workshops, large and small. At first they used manpower, but later they also added machinery, so they can raise a lot of salt every day in each workshop. Sometimes in order to complete the transaction on time, each workshop usually There will be more or less inventory. Even if not, we can exchange inventory with them."

Hearing what Grandpa Gao said, everyone felt a cold heart.

"There is only stock, so will they exchange it with us?" Wu Yong asked everyone's question.

Yun Qi looked at the stunned villagers in front of him speechlessly, "You don't think they have as much stock as what our village purchased before, do you?"

"Isn't it? We used to have so much in every household, and it's almost used up in less than two years." Sun Shaofeng felt that even if there was storage, it would not store too much.

"Like the small workshop I worked in at the end, some foreign equipment was used. It can produce dozens of tons of salt every day, and there are even three large warehouses, each of which is full. Even if the salt well collapses, his inventory will All of our supplies can only be exchanged for a drop in the bucket." Grandpa Gao is full of confidence in changing the salt this time.

Afraid that they would be worried, he continued to give them reassurance, "Besides, they have been making salt for so long, and there is no good arable land nearby. Let's transport these things there, but they are exactly what they need."

"Hearing what you said, then we can feel more at ease, or are we still worried about whether this trip will be in vain?"

"You can take the small road on the side. When I went to work, I used to take a motorcycle to pass here. If I used to walk for an hour, I would be able to reach the nearest salt well." Grandpa Gao pointed out Tell everyone along a trail under the expressway.

"There are traces of people walking on that road, which means that people around here are still active in this section." Si Cheng saw that the grass on the ground had been trampled aside, and he immediately let go of his worries.It seems that there is still a possibility of changing to salt here.

"The first workshop here in the past was built by the whole village. They have three deep wells in total to produce water, and this area usually produces more." Grandpa Gao explained the situation responsibly.

When everyone got off the expressway and came to the small road, they found that these roads were easier to walk than they imagined. At a glance, they knew that the nearby road sections had been repaired.

"It seems that they still have enough manpower here, and the road repairs here are better than those in our village." Liu Xingwei and the others said after exploring the road for a while.

"They raise some horses and cattle here, and sometimes some transportation is still done by these animals."

Hearing what Grandpa Gao said, everyone nodded to express their understanding.

Si Cheng's stability-seeking character would not allow him to run over with more than 1000 people in such a careless manner. He put all his luggage on the ground, and called Monkey and the others to let him and Big Bear sit here. , I took Wu Yong and Liu Jun to the front to check.

Fortunately, his operation allowed them to avoid several dangers in the future.

The road ahead should have been repaired by nearby villagers.So they walked all the way without any delay, and reached the place in half an hour.

But what surprised them was that no one was guarding the high wall, and the gate below was also open.

"Be careful and wait for me outside, I'll go in and check." Si Cheng smelled danger from here, something must have happened in this village, or it would be so undefended.

"Brother Cheng, we will go in with you. If something happens, we can take care of each other." Wu Yong and the others were not very relieved, and wanted to go in together.

"You stay here, and as soon as I go in, you block the door first, and try not to let anyone out." Si Cheng didn't expect the backyard to catch fire.
