In the evening, the women brought out the prepared meals and set them up on the tables set up outside the courtyard. There are not many types of meals, but fortunately, the portions are very large, and there are meat, fish, and vegetables, which are very hearty!

The men who had walked the long way had already sat down in their seats without waiting for a greeting, and the men from other families also sat down separately. At this time, Bataan first opened a jar of wine and poured himself a bowl, and then passed the jar down for them to pour themselves.

When everyone was finishing pouring their wine, he picked up the bowl and said loudly, "My brothers, you have worked so hard! You can eat, drink and rest with peace of mind tonight, and we will take care of the vigil! Come, let's eat and drink merrily!"

His words caused a burst of cheers, and then everyone raised their glasses and toasted each other warmly, and then began to eat and drink, one by one, very happy! Especially those Miao men who came from afar ate and drank a lot of food! They need enough food to relieve their fatigue along the way!

And they don't have to worry about the goods, because they have formed a symbiotic relationship with these local Miao and Yi people. During their time in the town, the locals were responsible for guarding the goods. Even their lodgings are scattered among their homes!

A happy night passed, and the next day, long after the sun had risen, Gayin got up from the bamboo bed. Although he had adapted to this life, the fatigue of the long journey still made him sleep for a long time. But when he walked into the courtyard, he laughed when he heard snoring from the other rooms, and he knew that he was the first to get up!

Hearing the sound of him moving, Bataan's wife came out of the stove and said happily when she saw Gayin, "Gayin, you are up! Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Gayin moved his arm and said, "Auntie, I just carried a backpack and baggage along the way, and I wasn't as tired as they were pushing the cart, so I naturally got up earlier!"

Bataan's wife waved at him and said, "Now that you're up, come and get something to eat!" Breakfast has already been prepared, and I know you can't get up, and the fire on the stove is always warm!"

As soon as she heard the word "eat", she immediately felt hungry! He immediately walked into the stove room quickly, and just as the woman lifted the lid of the pot, a puff of hot air opened, revealing a large pot of steaming white rice! This kind of white rice is only eaten by them when they arrive and during the New Year's Festival, and it is a very luxurious food!

Jiayin's eyes lit up when he saw the white rice, and he immediately picked up the shovel next to him and filled himself with a big bowl, then took the big bowl handed over by the woman, took out a few large pieces of pickles from it and put them on the rice, and then sat on the edge of the door and ate them sweetly!

A large bowl of rice entered the stomach, and the tone finally got refreshed! After saying goodbye to the woman, he walked slowly to the docks north of town. In the past, when he arrived in Donglai Town, he spent his leisure time here by dozing off every day. After all, the technology of sailing is not perfect now, and it is possible for the ship to come sooner or later.

Gayin came to the dilapidated dock, found the tree where he had stayed every time, and lay down comfortably and dozed off. He slept until noon. He looked up at the sun that had just moved past the middle of the sky, and stretched hard to go back to find something to eat.

But when he looked towards the lower reaches of the Wujiang River, he found that there seemed to be a shadow of a sail! So he immediately came to his senses, ran quickly to the trestle, rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully, and found that there was indeed a ship going against the trend!

This discovery made him immediately excited! Although all the boats are the same, Gayin just feels that this ship is his brother's ship! So he decided not to go back to dinner, and waited here for the ship to approach.

But it's so easy to sail against the current! He waited an hour for the ship to get closer. And as the shape of the ship became clear, Gayin was finally sure that it was his brother's ship!

So when he figured that the people on the boat could hear him, he jumped up and down on the dock and shouted! As the sound was sent to the boat by the river wind, soon there was a reaction on the ship! A man stood at the bow of the boat and looked at him, listened carefully to his shouts, and began to wave enthusiastically in response! Two good friends finally meet again!

Soon the boat was on the dock, and before the boat could stop, Gayin jumped onto the boat and hugged the young man tightly! Then he said, "You're very punctual this time, Li Dayu!"

The sturdy young man of the Han family said seriously, "How many times have you said it? I have changed my name now, not Li Dayu, but Li Changshou! You can't change it! Remember to call me Li Changshou!"

Gayin said happily, "Okay, Li Dayu!"

Li Changshou covered his face helplessly! His friend is like that, smart, but persistent, notoriously tendoned! But before he could speak, Gayin stomped on the deck with his foot and said, "I see that your ship is very light, didn't you bring the goods I wanted?"

When Li Changshou heard this, he immediately said, "I really didn't bring you goods this time, because I exchanged all your goods for money!" And I've brought my money with me, and I'm going to hand it over to you for a big deal!"

Gayin was happy when he heard this, and said, "Really? What kind of big deal is it, and you have to take all your money?"

Li Changshou pretended to smile mysteriously, and then opened his mouth and said, "Salt!"

When I heard this word, my face immediately changed! Then he exclaimed, "We can't do this business! Those who sell salt are very powerful, we can't beat them! Not even with you and your sailors!"

Li Changshou laughed, and then said, "My brother, you don't know that the outside world has changed a lot! Do you know how much salt is a pound now?"

Gain seemed to sense something, and immediately asked, "How much?"

Li Changshou stretched out his slap and shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "Fifty-five Wen for a pound of salt!"

Gayin's eyes were dizzy when he heard this, and then he asked as if he didn't hear clearly, "How much? How much? Did I hear me right?"

Li Changshou laughed and said, "My brother, you heard it right, it's really fifty-five!"

At this moment, Jiayin was completely speechless with surprise, because he knew the price of salt very well! Because they are located inland, it is very troublesome to transport salt, so the price of salt is very high! Even if they have the Wujiang River here, and the ships that transport salt can still bring it in, the price of salt has reached 270 wen a catty per catty! If it can be transported to the mountains, it is not difficult to sell it for 500 wen per catty!
