Chapter 23 Snow Salt

When you walk on the street one by one, you are a little older. Who knows the truth? There are not many things you can buy on the street, and at most you can eat them, followed by food, bacon, cloth, etc. There are not many things suitable for children.

Yao Lao asked Jiayi if he had anything to do. He shook his head and refused. He just walked around the street with Yao Lao to see what he wanted.

This town is called Seinsi Town, and the lord is Gabriel Seinsibury. His territory is generally referred to as Seinsibury, but it is actually not as Cyborg. Because the territory is close to the Whispering Forest, fur is considered a specialty here. Every spring and autumn, caravans come to the town to collect goods.

There is often heavy snow in winter, and no caravans come, but it is too hot in summer, which is not friendly enough to people and animals, and few caravans come.

In spring, the main harvest of furs collected by villagers in winter, as well as bacon, and in autumn, various mountain products are collected, and the fur is also collected. There is a kind of tea fruit tree on the mountain here, and the seeds can be squeezed into oil. The tea oil squeezed has a good taste and is highly nutritious, as famous as the olive oil in the northeast of the empire, especially in the south of the empire, which is more popular than olive oil.

There is also a salt lake in the territory that produces salt. Although it is not too big, it can be sold to other places in Vifer Province in addition to the use of local lords. Thanks to this salt lake, people here have cheaper salt to marinate bacon.

This salt lake has been mined for a long time, and it is not large in nature, and the quality of the salt produced has been much lower and is mixed with a lot of mud and sand. It is said that snowflake salt can still be cooked in the past.

In fact, there are salt mines in the mountains, but because they contain other impurities such as halogen, people will have adverse reactions after eating them. No one can eat them except animals lick them. When Jiayi and his friends went to the mountains to wading, they saw salt mines.

Fur, tea oil and salt are the three core pillar industries of Cyberling. Among them, fur depends on hunters, and the lord only collects taxes, and tea oil mainly relies on mountain people to collect tea fruits and squeeze them, which is also the lord collects taxes.

The salt is completely in the hands of the lord. The entire salt lake, including the people who cook salt in the salt lake, are all the lords, and no one else can interfere.

At this time, Jiayi was in front of a salt shop, looking at the salt in the jars, and he felt thoughtful.

"Boss, how do you sell salt here?"

"Oh, little guy, did your family ask you to buy salt? There are coarse salt here, 13 copper pounds. Look, the particles are large, clean and salty." The boss said, pointing to a jar in front of the left.

Looking at the salt in this jar, it was yellow in the gray. If you look closely, you can see some sand grains. The boss's cleanness means there are no leaves and branches.

Jia's family also used this kind of salt, but they had never paid attention to it before. They even ate sand when eating. However, they thought it was accidentally brought in when cooking, but they never thought it was a problem with salt.

The particles of this salt are larger than those of white sugar. When I was young in my previous life, Jia's family used coarse salt when pickling pickles, which of course was much cleaner than this. At that time, coarse salt was cheaper than fine salt, as if it was one piece of fine salt and two pieces of fine salt, and coarse salt was 80 cents. But later there was no coarse salt, and they were all used.

When I was a child in my previous life, I only had more than one piece of salt for 500g. Now a pound of salt costs about 400g to more than 10 copper plates. The pounds in other worlds are different from the earth. One pound is only about 400g, but this is just Jiayi's estimate and there is no way to compare it.

"Boss, how do you sell this kind of salt here? It looks better." Jiayi asked, pointing to the salt in a jar next to him. The salt particles here are finer and look whiter.

"This is fine salt. The coarse salt needs to be washed and refined before it can be obtained. It costs 30 copper plates per pound."

"Washed, how do you wash the salt? Isn't it going to melt?"

"It is very skillful to wash salt. You have to wash off only one layer of the surface and the impurities and sand cannot be left behind. You don't understand it if you say it. Do you want to come some? It's much better than coarse salt."

Didn't it just use saturated salt water? What's so great? After all, I was born in nine years of compulsory education. Jiayi despised the boss in his heart.

"Boss, is this salt the best? Do you have any better here?"

After hearing this, the boss looked up and down at Jiayi and asked with a slanted look: "What? Do you want to buy it?"

Jiayi knew that he didn't seem to be able to afford it, so he said, "No, I just want to see it. If you don't have it here, forget it."

"Who said no, I'll show you this. This is snow salt, only a real noble master can afford it."

This boss is not just and unpretentious, it is completely different from the yyjh outside. It is so simple that he can't afford it, but he really can't afford it.

Jiayi didn't expect that he just casually tried to provoke the boss and fell into the trap.

The boss bent down and took out a jar under the counter. From the surface of the jar, it was different and had patterns.

He opened the lid and pushed the jar to Jiayi and said, "Look, what, the real snow salt."

I saw that the salt in the jar in front of me was indeed different from the one in front. There was no impurity in the blue-white salt, and the finely divided salt particles were crystal clear. Except for the slightly blue color, it was not much different from the fine salt in my previous life.

Jiayi stood on tiptoe, looked at the snow salt in the jar, pretended to be a little bit of nothing, and finally saw the market, saying, "Wow, this is snow salt, so white! Boss, how much does this snow salt cost? Isn't it very expensive?"

"Hehe, this is snow salt. The Seber collar is no longer produced. It must be transported from the southern seaside to ask for a silver spoon."

Here, a golden eagle is worth 10 per silver coin, and each silver coin is worth 10 small silver coins. Small silver coin is also called silver jars. A silver coin is worth about 1,000 copper coins, and this exchange rate fluctuates.

In other words, a silver horn is worth about 100 copper, which is about 8 times more expensive, and rounded up to 10 times more. Although snow salt and coarse salt have the same effective ingredients, the prices are indeed very different.

"It's so expensive! Thank you, boss, for letting me see it." Jiayi said to the boss, and after getting the information he wanted, he quit the shop and came to Yao Lao's side.

While arguing with the owner of the salt shop, Yao Lao did not go over, but just stood outside and looked at Jiayi. When Jiayi came back, Yao Lao asked, "What, Jiayi, do you want to buy some better salt?"

"No, teacher, I just take a look." Jiayi returned and said, as if he had thought of something again, and said, "Teacher, are there any fermented yeast sold in the town?"

“What fermentation?”

"It's just the introduction to making wine." Jiayi didn't know if there was any concept of yeast and koji here, so he had to change his opinion.

"It's getting late now. Let's go to Maka's for dinner first, and then go to the tavern in the south of the town. He will make wine and sell it himself, and there should be what you want."

After saying that, Yao Lao took Jia back to Maka to have dinner together.

Because Jiayi wanted yeast, Yao Lao specially chose a tavern in the south of the city as a place for lunch. Each of them asked for a barbecue and a small basket of black bread. Yao Lao and Maka also ordered a glass of barley wine and gave Jia Yi a glass of milk.
