"Beef is good, are you willing to send it to this shop? , the other was surprised and surprised.

"There's no way, you can't save it, won't it break after a long time! So I still want to change something else first", the man said helplessly.

As he spoke, the two of them walked far away, and they couldn't hear what they were saying, but from the words of the two of them just now, Ji Fa heard some very useful information, if what the two of them said was a common situation, it could just be used to operate, and maybe it could solve the problem of rations for marching and fighting in one fell swoop.

To say that under the leadership of Ji Fa, the Dongyi tribe has really made a lot of progress, such as learning to fish with nets, learning to dry fish as meat and carrying it with you, but after all, I didn't expect it to be a later guerrilla war and a protracted war, and I had to fish and cook while fighting, which can also work in most cases, but there are always bad times, such as encountering a place where there is no river and no water, or being too entangled with the merchant army or too tired, etc., whenever this time, you can't fight hungry, right?

Therefore, when the initial prepared rations are almost consumed, it is necessary to think of a way in the spirit of preparing for a rainy day, not to mention adding something else.

Ji Fa pondered what the two of them said just now, and walked slowly into this Jiumiao shop, and found that it was really big, and there were indeed a lot of things, and the bustling crowd bargained with the guys inside along the counter, and from time to time I saw someone pick up their pockets and take out a bunch of food, or unload a certain thigh meat on their shoulders, or the most they exchanged animal skins, animal bones or gadgets or the like.

The guys in the crowd were a little too busy, so when Ji Fa came in, no one greeted him, and Ji Fa was also happy, just shopping around to listen and see more to understand the situation.

After observing everywhere, he had an idea, so he walked to the place where the meat trade was traded, and the guy here happened to be free at this time, and saw Ji Fa coming over, and greeted him warmly through the counter:

"What do you want, officer?"

It is said that it is a counter, but in fact, it is a large thick wooden board that is piled on the earthen mound as a cutting board, and there are piles of various kinds of meat and bones on it, which looks oily and dirty, similar to the meat in it.

Ji Fa nodded, pointed to the meat on the board and asked, "I want to buy a lot of meat, how much is it?" ”

The guy was originally very enthusiastic, and when he heard this, he glanced at Ji Fa with a strange gaze, and then said unhurriedly: "How much do you want, guest officer, although there is still some stock in this store, but I sent a lot to various restaurants and restaurants in the morning, and the rest is almost that, this meat is not like anything else, it won't last long and it will rot, and it will be sold the next day at most."

Ji Fa listened to it with a silent face, and then asked the guy: "Then there is no one that can be stored for a longer time?" ”

The guy shook his head, so Ji Fa then said to the guy: "Then can you find your boss and discuss it alone, it's a big business."

The guy glanced at Ji Fa with a suspicious gaze, estimated that Ji Fa didn't look like a rich man, and saw that Ji Fa's expression was calm, not like fooling him, so he said hello to the person next to him, and then took Ji Fa to the attic on the second floor.

The shopkeeper is also a chubby middle-aged man, always with a smiling expression on his face, after hearing the guy explain the situation, he told the guy a few words and sent him away, and then said to Ji Fa:

"Childe, do you want a lot of meat? This store is already one of the best shops in this stone city, you can rest assured, as long as it is not the day, I will prepare as much as you want the next day."

This shopkeeper is really a big business material, not mentioning how to store and how to transport, and the tone is quite big.

Ji Fa was amused in his heart, but he didn't pay attention to this, and then asked him: "Then if I want more, do you have a way to keep it for a longer time?" I can't buy it today, and it will be bad tomorrow, so how can I eat it?"

"This ......", the shopkeeper who had been laughing at Mimi finally showed a slightly embarrassed expression, met Ji Fa's smiling gaze, and said in a snort: "Childe is not a pastime for our family, after this meat is sold to you, of course how to preserve it is your business, this store is really nothing ......"

Ji Fa continued the shopkeeper's words: "If I can provide a way to preserve it for a long time, then how much can you give me?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "As long as you have a method, it is not a problem to have a hundred heads and bodies, but it is just a ......."

Glancing at Ji Fa's face, he said tentatively: "Childe, if you can tell us how to store it, the price is easy to say, and it will definitely satisfy you."

This guy is really shrewd, he knows what is the most important thing at once, and he opened his mouth to ask for a prescription without saying anything, Ji Fa sighed in his heart.

"I don't know if the shopkeeper has ever seen this kind of thing?" , Ji Fa took out a bag from his arms and took out the contents to show the shopkeeper.

"What is this?" , The shopkeeper looked at the flat things, a little inexplicable.

"Dried fish, you can eat it, come, taste it"

Ji Fa said as he tore off one and stuffed it into his mouth to chew first, while tearing off another one and handing it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was surprised, "This thing can be eaten?" Looking at Ji Fa's appearance, he took it in his hand and sniffed it, then carefully bit a little bit and chewed it in his mouth.

"Uh-huh...... it's really dried fish, and it tastes like fish when chewed, and it's not like ordinary fish, it has a special umami flavor...... Well, that's good", the shopkeeper seemed to taste something, and said vaguely as he chewed.

Ji Fa knew that the umami that the shopkeeper said was actually because of the salt used in the pickled dried fish, but he didn't explain this, but the shopkeeper who was satisfied with his expression continued

"I can make all the meat you receive here look like this, I don't know if the shopkeeper is interested."

The shopkeeper was still in his mouth to taste the dried fish just now, and when he heard Ji say this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Haha, of course I can't ask for this trick when Childe has this trick, but I don't know what conditions Childe has, you might as well say it."

Then seeing that Ji Fa was still groaning, he hurriedly said: "If there is this method, the store will not only accept a certain amount every day, and the more can only be rejected painfully, and a lot of waste is wasted, if there is this method, then how much will it be."

"Cheng, I can teach you this method, but even if you give you the method, you probably won't be able to do it, because you still need one of the most important things here to dry meat into dried fish", Ji Fa said unhurriedly.

"What's that?" , asked expectantly.

"Salt!"

"What?" The shopkeeper's eyes widened.
