There are two loads of salt, a total of more than 200 kilograms, and the salt in the basket is very fine, which means that the texture of the rock salt is close to that of table salt and does not require too much treatment.

Zhu Da rarely sees such surprises on his father's face. Everyone will have such surprises when they get a large amount of unexpected goods. Although the total number is not large, there are many for poor families like the Zhu family.

Xiang Bo is also very happy. Selling private salt is very important, but doing only a village business is a small business. Now that he has the opportunity to double the scale of this business, how can he be unhappy? You know, he can take over the business in the neighboring village and does not need the cost of purchasing goods. As soon as he goes, the profit will be huge.

Looking at the joy of the two elders, Zhu Da felt a little ashamed. He had the 20 years of experience that surpassed the times. There were very few who could help his family and teachers and friends. Fishing could not be said to be beyond the times. This was the search for rock salt.

What I learned and learned in and out of class in elementary school, middle school, and university were nothing in that era, and everyone knew it, but in this era it was worth a thousand gold. If a thousand gold was worth, it did not mean that real money could be exchanged for any time, and there were even huge risks. For poor military households, they had ideas to make money and even made money. They were all "children kept money in the downtown market". Not only could they not improve, but they would cause great disasters.

Zhu Da thought it very carefully. In such a poor environment as the welfare home, he could get into a pretty good school with such a little support and successfully joined the company. In this era, in such a dangerous environment, he naturally had to be more cautious.

"Brother Zhu family, you go back and rest first. You have to come out to patrol at night. Just let the children work here." After experiencing this incident, the relationship between the two families has become much closer, after all, they have common interests and keep common secrets.

His father Zhu Shitou agreed with a smile, and then told Zhu Da, "Don't be lazy, listen to your master."

Zhu Da could see that his father was in a good mood, and he could feel that his father was not so cautious and his personality was a little more relaxed and cheerful.

As soon as the man left, Xiang Bo asked Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun to stop practicing martial arts and took out the hammer and mill from the warehouse. The three of them had to crush the rock salt into particles first, otherwise they would not be able to sell it according to the portion.

"This salt product is of good quality. It will break many pieces when you get down with a pickaxe." Xiang Bo was also very excited.

The rock salt in the basket is not too big, and the fists are much the size. It looks grayish-white when it is on the rock wall, but when it is broken, it looks translucent crystals.

Seeing this, Zhu Da felt relieved. He was very familiar with this. In those years, the catering industry liked to engage in rock salt in certain places. It was said that it was purer and had a certain flavor. Of course, this rock salt would not be purer than salt processed by industrial processing. The so-called "flavor" is because of impurities, which is nothing more than to cater to the distorted mentality of the wealthy people in pursuit of "natural original ecology". But the salinity of this rock salt is enough, and it is edible.

As for whether it is poisonous or not, it is fine if the goat eats it, and there are no corpses of birds and beasts around the cave, which is enough to show the safety of salt.

The salt blocks are relatively crisp and easy to crush. This is also the characteristic of salt. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not struggle to deal with it. They all crushed them after about an hour.

Xiang Bo took a few handfuls of coarse salt inside and outside, and carefully examined them, asking them not to delay practicing martial arts and go out on their own. It was not until dinner that Zhu Da found out that Xiang Bo had brought a few handfuls of salt to his home, wrapped it in the feed for feeding the chickens, and promised that if the chickens were damaged, he would compensate him.

It seems that Xiang Bo is not very confident about the rock salt brought down from the cave. He must prove it as safe as possible before selling it.

At night, Xiang Bo took the village Minzhuang patrol on the night. He sent Zhou Qingyun to the Zhu family to spend the night and reminded him: "What's the matter? You two young people just run and fight while running. Don't get entangled at close range. Others think you are blind people in Ye, but they don't know that you can see and shoot arrows."

Zhu Da's father Zhu Shitou also patrolled the night with his spear. Zhou Qingyun brought all the bows and arrows and short knives. Now the iron weapon that Zhu Da can use is still the dagger, but he also cut out a five-foot-long wooden spear for himself and baked it according to his own method.

The bow, arrow, wooden spear, dagger and short knife are placed in the yard. Before going to bed, I have a loophole to get it to the side of the kang, otherwise Zhu Da’s mother would definitely be panicked and worried when she saw it.

The two of them had been busy for a day, and after dinner, they did not delay. They fell asleep after dipping on their heads. They thought they would sleep until dawn, but in the middle of the night, they were awakened by the barking of the dog, and then the sound of the buzz and the shout of life. As soon as the two of them touched their weapons, the barking of the dog stopped. When they heard someone shouting, "It's okay, it's okay!"

After such a fuss, who can sleep peacefully? It was dawn. At breakfast, Zhu Shitou pulled Xiang Bo home to have breakfast. Now the two families are tied together, which is the right thing to do.

"Thanks to the fact that there were several dogs in the village, the dog suddenly barked last night. Everyone knew that something was wrong outside, but few of them could see clearly, so they could only gather in front of the torch." Xiang Bo said in a muffled voice.

Most villagers couldn't see clearly at night, and the bandits must have been more oily and water. If they really wanted to come in at night, the villagers' young and strong men had never experienced the battle, and the second they couldn't see clearly, they would definitely suffer a big loss. Zhu Da could also think of the situation last night. As the bandits approached, they were discovered by dogs, and then saw the torches in the village. They heard the sound of the gangsters. It was hard to say whether the bandits could fight, but they were definitely afraid of trouble, so they left quickly.

Xiang Bo, who had not slept all night, looked very good. He was old and couldn't stand up at night. He said with a gloomy face: "This situation is not very good. There are two possibilities now. Either the bandits can fight, and they can move twenty or thirty miles a night, or the bandits are nearby. The bandits from these villages have come here several times!"

The bandits hid in the dark and looted villages at night. However, in recent days, Baibao Village has discovered abnormalities three times, and the neighboring village Xiama Village was slaughtered. Although there were news from other places, there were too many people coming here, so Xiang Bo came to this conclusion.

These words made the atmosphere in the house much more solemn. Xiang Bo finished eating quickly and said in a muffled voice: "In the morning, you two boys practice martial arts by themselves. I want to make up for your sleep. I wake me up for lunch. In the afternoon, I go to Xiama Village to ask about selling salt!"

Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed and cheerful. A smile appeared on the face of the worried Zhu family couple. Xiang Bo reached out and touched Zhu Da's forehead, and said with a smile: "There is such a place that I don't have to purchase goods from the previous house for three years. The money is all in vain."

Zhu Da’s parents laughed, and Zhu Da coughed, looked at Xiang Bo and said, “Master, you still have to buy the salt from the previous family, otherwise they will find something wrong. We can buy less and sell more!”

As soon as the room was quiet, Xiang Bo immediately reacted, patted Zhu Da's shoulder hard, and said rudely: "Master, I have lived in vain for decades, but I am not as thoughtful as you can think clearly."

After saying that, he raised his face and said seriously: "The old man is not here these days. You two boys can't be lazy. I can find out then!"

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun quickly agreed, Xiang Bo walked out the door with a smile. Zhu Da's parents looked at their son with complicated expressions, and there were also smiles on their faces.

In the morning, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not dare to relax. They prepared lunch and woke up Xiang Bo. After eating together, Xiang Bo walked out with twenty kilograms of salt. Then the two of them ran to the river with fishing rods. This was the first day of using fishing rods, so they didn't call the Li brothers together.

After arriving at the river, put the bait made of wild vegetable juice and grain cake crumbs on the hook, then throw out the fishing line and start fishing. With the help of a fishing rod, you can fish deep in the river water. The fish there must be much bigger than the fishing pits by the river.

Among the fishing tackle parts brought back by Xiang Bo, the bamboo poles were in stock in the grocery store. They were not used many people, but they often needed to use them, so they were stocked up, but the raw silk was out of stock. Xiang Bo brought back a mulberry line, which was thin enough and tough enough. As for the float, Zhu Da used a thin branch instead, and as for the lead sinker, it was easy to get.

This fishing gear is very simple, but it is a very standard tool. No matter how simple the tool is, it is easier to use than the fishing pit that is almost primitive when you look at the weather.

In fact, the effect was unexpected. Not long after the hook was thrown, the fish float began to float up and down. Without even looking at the fish float, Zhu Da could feel the fish biting the hook from the force transmitted from the fishing line and rod to the hand!

Without reels and other components, this simple fishing rod cannot do many things, so he can only cooperate with human movements. Zhu Da walked forward two steps along the force that came. The fishing line was tight and the fishing rod bent. He followed this way, the fishing line was slightly loose, and the fishing rod also stretched back. At this time, Zhu Da suddenly raised his arms, raised the fishing rod, and watched a big fish being fished out of the river surface and threw it directly to the river beach on the shore.

Zhou Qingyun stared at him with all his attention. Suddenly, the fishing came out of water, which made him scream excitedly, but he didn't realize what to do.

"You are stupid, smash the fish!"

The fish was very big, nearly two feet long, and very fat. When it landed on the river beach, it started to jump desperately. It was about to return to the water. Fortunately, Zhou Qingyun, who had reacted, moved very quickly and slammed the fish head with a stick. The fish stopped moving immediately.

Whether it was Zhu Da who was fishing or Zhou Qingyun who was smashing the fish, they all burst out in a hurry. After confirming the harvest, both of them took a few breaths and looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

"Big fish, I really caught a big fish. This method is easy to use!" Zhou Qingyun almost jumped up and shouted.

"It's not easy to use, it's easy to catch here, no one touches the fish, there are too many!" Zhu Da replied with a smile, and anyone would be happy because of the harvest.

At this moment, I heard someone talking behind me: "Two little brothers!"
