The shopkeeper quickly calmed down from the initial shock.

Although it can be seen that he really wants a way to preserve meat for a long time, he has never heard of this thing that Ji Fa said, so there is a look of doubt on his face.

"Childe, you didn't lie to me, I've never heard of this salty thing"

"Uh......"

Ji Fa was suddenly a little entangled, if he didn't follow the routine, it would not be good to talk about the things in the future.

However, the shopkeeper didn't understand what Ji Fa said about the salt, but after Ji Fa said what the salt was, the shopkeeper was happy.

"Haha, I thought it was something, it turns out that Childe is what you said about this, I don't want to think about it, we are one of the best shops in Stone City here, there are many and all kinds of strange things, how can there be no such thing as you said!"

"It's just that we don't call it salt here, but halo!"

"Oh? Lu ah", Ji Fa was slightly stunned in his heart, it turned out to be this name, but he still nodded noncommittally on his face.

The shopkeeper's face was calm, and he couldn't help but be a little excited:

"Of course there is.,Isn't this thing just licking out of the ground next to the spring where the beast drinks.,Although the production is not much.,But our store does have it."

Then he remembered something, and continued:

"This thing can be put into meat or vegetables, and the taste will be more delicious, but I haven't heard of using it to preserve meat, and even if it is put into meat and vegetables, you can't put more of it, isn't it too earthy to put too much?"

After speaking, the shopkeeper's face was puzzled.

This time, Ji Fa didn't explain much, but directly took out a small bag of samples from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Why do you still have this with you?" , The shopkeeper was very surprised, and looked at the "salt" in Ji Fa's hand suspiciously, but after reading it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Is this still halogen? How can it be so clean? ”

After dipping his finger in it and tasting it again, he was even more stunned when he heard Ji Fa say that he had a large number of these things.

As far as the shopkeeper knows, I have never seen anyone make the marinade look like this, it is so beautiful and clean!

It didn't taste earthy at all, and the powder was surprisingly clean and transparent, cleaner than any kind of brine ever seen in the soil.

"Then can I use a large amount of this thing, plus the production method, to exchange the meat that can be stored for a long time with you and some other things?"

Ji Fa's expression was solemn, and he told the shopkeeper the ultimate purpose of his coming here.

"When...... Of course", perhaps the surprise came too quickly, and the shopkeeper stammered a little: "Of course no problem"

After seeing the salt sample that Ji Fa took out, the shopkeeper happily agreed to Ji Fa's conditions.

"Just one thing, it's a secret that I take a lot of food from you, you can't tell anyone!"

Ji Fa said word by word.

……

Things went surprisingly well!

And Ji Fa's request is just to ask the shopkeeper not to tell others that he takes food from here, and it is not to restrict him from buying and selling, and to say that there are long-term customers to greet business, which is simply a good thing that cannot be sought!

Of course, what the shopkeeper didn't expect was that Ji Fa's purpose in doing this was naturally not to let the spies of the Shang Dynasty be aware of these foods, and they would eventually be sent to the guerrillas of the Dongyi tribe.

This is also what Ji Fa didn't look for at the beginning of the largest and most complete shops, most of those shops were opened by the Shang Dynasty, and there will always be leaks when they come and go, and this one in front of him is, after all, Fang Guo's shop.

If the relationship between Fang Guo and the Shang Dynasty is close to each other over the years, the relationship is not good or bad, and now because Di Xin began to levy taxes under the pretext of attacking Dongyi, and also grabbed strong men to build roads, the relationship between the two will only get worse, so even if he finally knows that these grains are sent to the Dongyi tribe, presumably Fang Guopu will not deliberately tell Di Xin this secret.

In this way, as long as the Dongyi tribe is contacted to secretly deliver the processed salt to this side on a regular basis, and then the grain and weapons that have been exchanged are transported back, the problem of war rations can be said to be solved almost effortlessly.

Next, naturally, after reaching a business partnership with the shopkeeper, he will borrow the commodity exchange channel between them and Li Cheng to sneak into Li Cheng!

Ji Fa looked at the delighted shopkeeper thoughtfully.

……

Li Cheng

In the backyard of an inn

"What did you say?"

Ji Fa listened to the news reported by his subordinates, and Rao couldn't help but be taken aback by the mentality that he was now experiencing wind and rain, and then couldn't help but chuckle.

As the saying goes, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

……

A few days ago, Ji Fa, a caravan with Jiumiao Shop, secretly arrived in Licheng.

On the way, Ji Fa learned that the caravan from Jiumiao Shop to and from Licheng was not from their own tribe, but by a Fangguo tribe called the Youyi tribe that specialized in transporting goods.

This tribe is not large, and the population is not large, but the status of the tribe is not low in the various countries, because there are many animal trainers in the tribe.

These animal trainers are not like the Shang Dynasty who were tamed and sent to the battlefield in large numbers, but what they are best at is that they can easily tame the savage and irritable beast oxen into docile work objects, and their abilities are quite unique.

Bartering to earn food money by transporting things has always been the survival method of the Youyi tribe.

Of course, these are just gossip on the way, Ji Fa just listened to it casually, and didn't pay much attention to it, he and a few Dongyi soldiers were also mixed in the caravan with the guys of the Jiumiao shop, so as not to be interrogated by the merchant army when they entered Licheng, and the two sides did not deal with each other much.

This way to Licheng was quite smooth, and when they entered Licheng, they found that although Licheng had experienced a great war not long ago, it could not be seen from the appearance at all, and the city gate was still a lively and prosperous scene, and what made Ji Fa and them feel even more strange was that there seemed to be no merchant army team checking here at all, but the merchant faces were the least, and the common ones were the people of other tribes, and the largest number was actually the Xiqi people.

After Ji Fa and his entourage quietly left the team and settled in Licheng, his subordinates quickly went out to inquire about the news, but the news they brought back made Ji Fa feel very, very surprised!

The eldest son of Xiqi, Bo Yi Kao, that is, his eldest brother, is actually in Licheng now!

Not long ago, his father Xibohou was arrested by Di Xin and went to Chaoge, but he didn't expect that at this time, in this place, the brothers were going to reunite unexpectedly, and the world was really mysterious!

Although I haven't seen each other for a long time and the relationship is not necessarily very good, but thinking back to the handsome, dashing, personable and gentle appearance of the eldest brother in his memory, Ji Fa couldn't help grinning at the corners of his mouth, and a trace of warmth involuntarily surged to his heart.

"Let's go, lead the way, find my eldest brother first!"
