Chapter 212: The Past of the Salt Road

After breakfast, Shi Yan proposed to go to Baihe County to see the salt road, leisurely surprised why she was interested in the ancient salt road, Ankang Baihe County seems to have no ancient salt road to see, Shiyan Zhushan County has a Baihe estuary, this place belongs to the border of the three provinces. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a sub-prefecture-level institution, the Baihe Hall, which was in charge of security along the border. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the personnel were complex, from the Jingxiang Rebellion, to the White Lotus Uprising, Huguang to fill Sichuan, etc., and the refugees in the mountains gathered. The displaced people opened mines and factories in the mountains, and the number of people gathered more and more, and the composition was complex, and the team of salt pickers alone was very large. At the turn of winter and spring, the number can reach thousands. If you look at the scenery, it is the ancient salt road in the Shenlongjia Scenic Area, it is summer now, and it is the most suitable to travel to Shennongjia.

Shi Yan shook her head, all she wanted to go to was Baihe County, and it sounded like the ancient salt road was really far away. Leisurely said that is, the ancient salt road is a lifeline of people at that time, listen to grandma talk about the starting point of the ancient salt road is the Daning factory in Bailu Town, Wuxi County, Sichuan Province, known as the "ancient salt capital", in the canyon near the salt factory, there was a salt brine rock layer crystallized by the seawater left in ancient times, so the spring water here has a high salt content, providing a large amount of salt for the Bashan area and even the southwest provinces. There was a saying in the local area that "a spring flows white jade, thousands of miles go gold, and the salt comes out, and the world asks for it". The salt factory wraps the salt with brown flakes and then puts it into a bamboo basket after passing the scale, generally divided into 100 catties, 130 catties, 80 catties for a load, the salt men run thousands of miles just to exchange things for things, and exchange things for money. Therefore, with the frequent exchanges, not only the salt road is also an important channel for various commercial transactions.

Zhu Grandma listened to them talk about the salt road, so she asked Shi Yan if she was looking for someone or the salt road, but it was a pity that she was old, otherwise she could go again. Shi Yan was about to say that she was looking for someone, but it happened that the company called and said that the chairman was temporarily going to hold a board meeting, so she had to rush back. Shi Yan said that she couldn't catch up in the field, and then called Xu Rui and asked why she was in such a hurry, and Xu Rui asked her to rush back as soon as possible. Shi Yan realized the seriousness of the matter, so she told the driver to return to Wuhan immediately to take the earliest flight back to Shenzhen. Leisurely asked what was the matter, Shen Chu shook his head, it was the matter of the Xu Group, don't worry, such a big group can always deal with it.

Grandma Zhu was just about to talk about those things in Yandao, and when she saw that they were leaving, she was reluctant to give up, and asked if she could take a photo with them. Shen Chu said yes, so he took out a digital camera from the car and asked everyone to stand in the yard and take a few photos together. Zhu's mother hurriedly took some special products for them and put them in the car, and grandma told her that the sauce meat must be distributed to the family, which she made by herself. Shen Chu and Shi Yan thanked each other and left apologetically.

Leisurely followed them and got off at Sun's clinic, I was very sorry for them, I didn't play well, and Xu's accident didn't even have the qualifications to ask, I only prayed that the matter could be resolved as soon as possible. Shi Yan sat in the car and said thank you to her through the window, this trip made her feel a lot, and leisurely thanked her for being able to come to this poor and remote place, and pay attention to safety on the road.

Grandpa Sun watched the car leave at the door, and hurriedly called Leisurely to drink the herbal tea he boiled, which can quench thirst, remove fire, and reduce heat. Leisurely turned around and walked up to Grandpa Sun to ask him how he was doing, and smiled at his beard growing again. Grandpa Sun deliberately kept a small handful of long beards, and sometimes used the beard to amuse children when they took their pulse or gave them injections and cried. He originally liked the Youran sisters very much, but after Meng Yao happened like that, he was afraid that Youran would have a grudge against their Sun family, so he intentionally or unintentionally went to Sanhe Courtyard to talk to Grandpa Ning about interesting things and talk about some herbs that are commonly used to cure diseases. You began to listen eavesdroppingly, and then she didn't shy away from it. Grandpa Ning said that he was scheming, he felt that he couldn't put a good girl into the vat of hatred for a long time, so that adults would either be poisonous to others or cruel to themselves, neither of which he wanted.

Grandpa Sun stroked his beard and nodded to indicate that he was very tough, and with Sun Nian and his son-in-law taking care of him, he didn't have to worry about anything. It's that one of the teeth went to see Hades a few days ago, but he had a way, and every meal of meat was cooked to a rotten surface, like jelly, and rolled down without chewing. It's like a hard dish with bean sprouts no matter how you cook it, so it's chopped into minced dumpling wrappers, and it's really comfortable to eat. He said this, Sun Nian listened to music inside, he was respected when he was young, and now he is an old naughty boy.

Leisurely follow the music, if Grandpa Ning is still here, the three of them can talk all day no matter what they talk about. Drinking the herbal tea that the Sun family will provide for free every summer, the old taste is refreshing. Some children fill their own cups after school and drink for themselves, or go back to give them to adults. Adults will also take a cup when they are thirsty when they go shopping, which is a habit for the Sun family and a blessing for the villagers. It suddenly occurred to me that this model could be extended to the shop of Youfen Ran. She doesn't know the recipe for Cantonese herbal tea, if this herbal tea is provided free of charge to diners or cleaners and other people in need, and they love to drink it, then the favorability of Youfenran noodles will be improved.

"Grandpa Sun, I want to move your tradition of providing herbal tea for free to Shenzhen, I don't know if you agree, after all, this involves a secret recipe. It's so hot over there that bottled water is only available for free. "Leisurely suddenly felt that I always liked to be small. Cheap.

"Okay, why not! What is the secret recipe or not, there are differences between the cultures of the north and the south, and I don't know if the people over there are used to drinking it, whether they have the feeling of spicy soup? Grandpa Sun asked with a smile.

"I just feel sweet and sour with a bitter taste, as if I can feel a trace of warmth after drinking the flavors of life. We are used to drinking from childhood to adulthood, and it is estimated that people who are older than others will have some spiritual collisions when they drink for the first time, and they will really face the road of life after tasting all kinds of flavors. When the time comes, label the reminder: each person only drinks one cup at a time, those with spleen and stomach deficiency should use with caution, and pregnant women should take it with caution. "When it comes to medicine, it is still necessary to be cautious, and you can't do good deeds and provoke complaints or compensation.

"You think about it thoughtfully, and the outsiders who know about it in our town don't necessarily know it. I promised before that the so-called formula that the Sun family has, if you can use it one day, you will come and get it directly. "He, an old man, thought that he was fast entering the loess, but he didn't expect that the value was still being excavated and soaring.

"Thank you, Grandpa Sun, if the person who drinks it likes it, I will ask experts to refine it and mass produce it, so it's called Lao Sun's herbal tea, okay?" Leisurely mind is full of business experience, all the ideas are piled up in your mind first, and slowly realized when you have the opportunity.

"It's all up to you, it's good to be young, aggressive, you have to have the courage to try, and I feel a lot younger when I chat with you. Is it for the cooperative? Grandpa Sun asked with concern, among the young people, there are many people who go out to work hard, but there are very few people who are concerned about rural development. They all believe that the outside world is more exciting and advanced, and that the countryside is forever backward. But some things that have been passed down from the countryside are even more precious and worth inheriting.
