Without command, the crowd immediately threw themselves into great enthusiasm, and more earthen stoves and barrels were made, smacking the ore in turn, and for a moment, the col became a hot construction site, and the sound of trumpets was everywhere.

If there is anything bad about it, then it is a tool, all wooden tools made by yourself, low efficiency, easy to break, fortunately there is no shortage of knives, which is also a comfort to me.

The salt ore is very loose, which is fine, otherwise the raw materials are hard to come by, and by the evening, ten new large wooden barrels have been laid out, and the dry wood must not always be available, so a lot of fresh wood is also piled up around the earthen stove to bake.

At night, fill the wooden barrel with salt water, and fill the earthen stove with wood fire, so that the night watchman can watch it, and there is no delay in resting at all. When Zhang Zhongjian came back on the third day, twenty catties of salt from Baihuahua were placed in the tent.

The price of a pound of coarse salt is generally 20 to 100 times the price of grain, and refined salt is basically about 100 times, but this is the price in the Central Plains, like the price in remote areas, of course, the price is more expensive, not to mention the alien race, not the general expensive, just these 20 catties of salt, Zhang Zhongjian said with certainty that there is no problem with changing a few sheep.

Salt is a necessity of life, people do not eat salt, they will have no strength, so the country's control of salt from the Han Dynasty, is the official camp, but now they are far away from the emperor, no one can care, the key is that the origin is near, it can be easily transported.

Zhang Zhongjian brought back dozens of sheep, and because he found a place to make salt, he stopped robbing them and stayed to protect them.

Approaching September, the people of the Yan tribe have begun to return to the clan land and prepare for the winter, so Zou Yu and they have not been discovered by others, of course, this is also related to the fact that they have done it cleanly and neatly several times and have left no traces.

Liu Jin brought people from the village, along with Li Keshi, and the two brought a lot of fish and meat, as well as fired pottery.

For more than half a month, three hundred catties of refined salt were put into sheepskin bags, plus hundreds of clay pots and pottery bowls, this is the first time to take out the items to trade, Zhang Zhongjian and Li Keshi set off again, and the target of the transaction - the Khitan tribe.

There is no need to worry about it in the village, hundreds of catties of fresh fish come ashore every day, most of which are raised in fish ponds, according to Liu Jin, he has eaten enough fish and meat in this life.

And the new residence has only a prototype, everyone is living in tents, dozens of sheep have been killed, this is also no way, the food is not enough, the intensity of the activity is large, every day can only wild vegetables and mutton, here the river is small, the fish caught by the fish basket can only beat the tooth sacrifice.

Larger barrels, more earthen stoves, burning every day, the ground around the neighborhood had been dried, the grass had been beaten and dried, sewn into sheepskins, and the sloppy leather shoes were made, not only very light, but also very warm, and all had more confidence than ever before in surviving the winter.

Five days later, Zhang Zhongjian and others came back, two hundred sheep, ten horses, is the goods they traded, although for a team of hundreds of people, this little thing can not eat for a few days, but it is just a good start, the most important thing is iron ore, two hundred catties of iron ore, which is very important for the present.

For Zou Yu and them, the Khitan is currently a big clan, as long as there is salt, they will continue to exchange food for food, which is more stable and less risky than robbery.

Three hundred catties of refined salt, for the Khitan people, it is enough for two months, but there is more salt, who will dislike it, usually refined salt is even the patriarch, it is rare to see, all year round, it is possible to exchange for so one or two catties, now with refined salt, of course, very satisfied, for Zhang Zhongjian They can still sell refined salt in this period, I am very surprised, and I am also surprised by their strength.

The most important thing is that Li Keshi said that they only sold to the Khitans, and the Khitans could sell to other tribes in the future, and on this point, the Khitans could not refuse, and these two hundred catties of iron ore were gifts from the Khitans.

Shovels, iron fibers, these tools were made to speed up the collection of ores, and the bamboo mats and wooden mats requested by Zou Yu were made to dry the boiled salt water, so that the salt was made faster.

Although the temperature in the Northeast is not high in September, it is windy, so it can be done as well as salt, not to mention that the ground is not low because of so many earthen stoves burning constantly. Seeing a lot of salt being made every day, everyone is full of passion, this is not like helping people, everything is for themselves, it can be said that these hundreds of people are currently a big family.

"Take it!" When he came back from the second transaction, Zhang Zhongjian took out a package and threw it to Zou Yu.

"it!" Zou Yu opened it and couldn't help but burst out foul mouth, because what he saw really shocked his opinion, only to see that on the sheepskin, several ginsengs of different sizes were neatly placed on it, and the largest one, like a white radish, was the size of a wrist.

"This is according to your request, the Khitan people dug it from the mountain, a small catty of salt, a large catty of salt, a large one catty, and a lot of whiskers." Zhang Zhongjian said proudly.

"Ahem! Ahem! Zou Yu almost choked to death with his own saliva, this is really the price of radish, but fortunately, there are not many people who know the goods before they can receive it, at this moment, Zou Yu even has the idea of dominating Liaodong.

"What is this? Angelica? It's not like that. Li Keshi glanced at it and said.

"Good things, good things, I'll get you a good dish today, make up for it." Zou Yu was slightly excited, put away the ginseng, took a small one, and the others cautiously, and cautiously received a wooden box, especially the largest one, which estimated that it would be hundreds of years old.

Deer antlers, this is back from hunting, Zou Yu deliberately left, people in this era like deer blood, venison, deer antler velvet is generally used as a collection, is collected as an ornament, to show their prey.

A large clay jar, boiled with water, a few legs of mutton, just boiled, after boiling almost, put in the ginseng and deer antler velvet, simmer over low heat, after an hour, put in wild mushrooms, their own production of refined salt, tsk! A fresh fragrance came to my nose.

"Goo!" A stomach rattle sounded behind him.

"When did you two get here?" Looking at Fang Zheng behind him, Brother Fang Zhi, Zou Yu asked in surprise.

Fang Zhi: "Hey, hey! Smell the scent! ”

Founder: "Here." ”

"Okay, wait a while, and you'll be able to eat."

Fang Zhi: "It's so fragrant!" How did you get it, and what's inside? ”

Founder: "It's so fragrant! ”

"You two deliberately came to block me? Or is it a double yellow? Looking at the two brothers smiling, one expressionless, one by one, Zou Yu said angrily.
