With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

Zhou Yue thought about it and realized that transporting salt from other salt-producing areas would be difficult and costly.

It would be better to let Qujing County have a salt lake so that it can be self-sufficient!

Zhou Yue was a science student in his previous life, and he still remembered that one kilogram of water could dissolve 180 grams of salt.

She ordered a total of 4000 tons of water, or 800 million kilograms of water, in the mall.

Another order was placed for 288 million kilograms of salt, which was iodized salt, which is good for the health of the villagers.

The total cost was more than 500 million points. Although she had a lot of points in her account, she still felt a little painful.

On this ordinary yet extraordinary night, it seems that nothing has changed, yet everything has changed.

The salt lake is located in a relatively remote area, surrounded by mountains. The water is extremely clear, like amber embedded in the mountains.

Early the next morning, two boys who were preparing to go to the mountain to chop firewood soon discovered this large expanse of pure lake water.

"Oh my god! Am I dazzled? When did a lake appear here?!"

"Yes, I clearly remember that there was nothing here yesterday!"

The two boys came to the lake and saw the crystal clear water. They couldn't help but scoop up some water with their hands to drink to quench their thirst.

"Ah, bah, bah...why is this water so salty?"

"salty?"

The other boy dipped his hand into the water and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up instantly.

"This looks like salt water! I'll go get my dad!"

Soon, a large number of villagers gathered by the salt lake.

“Salt Lake, this is really a salt lake!”

"How come there is a salt lake here suddenly? It's so strange!"

"With the arrival of the Red Army, we will have a salt lake! They are really our lucky stars!"

Many villagers cried with joy and looked in the direction where the Red Army left.

Some people even knelt beside the salt lake, crying and kowtowing. This salt lake was so important to them, it was a life-saver!

At this time, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes but with bright eyes walked out from the crowd.

The previously domineering county magistrate had secretly fled to another place with his family after the Red Army entered the county town.

This uncle was elected by everyone under the witness of the Red Army and was responsible for handling affairs in the county.

"Everyone can use this salt lake, but only for personal use. It cannot be given away or sold. Everyone should cherish it and be frugal. The matter of the salt lake must not be disclosed to the white dog!"

After hearing this, the villagers nodded firmly. This is everyone’s salt lake, and they must protect it!

At this time, Zhou Yue had crossed the Jinsha River and arrived in Sichuan.

【Ding Dong! Account points added! 】

【Ding Dong! Account points added! 】

【Ding Dong! Account points added! 】

【………】

The system's voice announcement sounded for a long time, and the points in the account continued to increase.

Zhou Yue was a little confused. The health values ​​above the soldiers' heads didn't change much, so how could they earn so many points!

[Tongzi, what's going on? ]

There was uncontrollable excitement in the system's tone.

[Because of this salt lake, I successfully unlocked the gratitude points exchange! 】

【Gratitude value?】

[Yes! After the host makes a contribution, the gratitude points generated by the villagers can be exchanged for points! 1 gratitude point can be exchanged for 10 points! ]

Zhou Yue was also very happy. She was actually a little sad because she had used up so many points.

I didn't expect that good deeds would bring good results. I actually gained so many points at once!

In the end, Zhou Yue calculated that all the more than 500 million points she had spent were recovered, and she even earned several million more!

In early May, Zhou Yue followed the Red Army to Huidong County, a county town in Liangshan, Sichuan, and prepared to rest there.

After arriving and setting up camp, we prepared lunch for the soldiers.

"Comrade Zhou Yue, please light the fire and light the stove. Tiezhu and I will fetch a few buckets of water."

After Zhao Dashan finished speaking, he took the bucket and went with Wang Tiezhu to look for water nearby.

In the past, in other villages, people either used water directly from nearby streams or borrowed water from fellow villagers’ wells.

"Hey, why isn't there even a ditch or river nearby?"

Wang Tiezhu walked a long way carrying his shoulder pole, but he did not see any sign of water.

"Forget it, let's not look for it anymore. Let's go to the well in the village."

The villages they had passed through before generally had public wells, and some families with better financial conditions would even dig a well for their own use.

But the two men carried buckets and wandered around the village for a long time, but they didn't see any well.

In order not to delay the soldiers' meals, Wang Tiezhu knocked on a house's door.

"Bang bang bang~"

A middle-aged man opened the door and smiled honestly when he saw the two of them.

"Comrade Red Army, what can I do for you?"

"Fellow villager, we can't find any water source nearby. Can we borrow some water from your house?"

The man was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.

"Okay, follow me into the yard."

"Hey, thanks, fellow!"

The man led them into the yard and walked to a corner where firewood was stacked.

He squatted down and uncovered a large wooden board. Under the board was a water cellar.

"Let me help you scoop water."

The man brought a large gourd ladle and took the buckets from their hands.

"Uh, no..."

Before either of them could say no, the older brother had already squatted down and started scooping up water.

He used the gourd ladle to scoop only half a ladle at a time, not full, and put it into the bucket one ladle at a time.

Wang Tiezhu was an impatient person, and he became extremely anxious when he saw this scene.

This brother was too slow, and he only scooped half a bucket each time, not full, as if he was afraid that some water would leak out.

But he was too embarrassed to rush them, so he and Brother Dashan just stood aside and waited obediently.

When the four buckets of water were full, Wang Tiezhu was so anxious that he wanted to run away. If he didn't go back quickly, his comrades would be starving.

Zhao Dashan picked up two buckets of water on a shoulder pole and nodded to him in thanks.

"Thank you, fellow villager. We are leaving now!"

At this time, a sister-in-law came out from the inner room, stared at their water buckets, and sighed heavily.

Zhao Dashan was just about to say goodbye to his sister-in-law, but before he could say anything, his sister-in-law turned around and went back to the house.

Zhou Yue poured out some dried mushrooms from her cloth bag and prepared to make some mushroom soup for everyone tonight.

Last time in Yunnan, we not only ate mushrooms every day, but also picked a lot and dried them into dried mushrooms.

The kitchen staff of each camp prepared several large bags of dried mushrooms.

After all, mushrooms are not only nutritious, but also a good condiment that can provide a unique flavor to meals.

Zhou Yue scooped some water from the wooden barrel into the basin, preparing to soak the dried mushrooms.

While scooping water, she noticed something was wrong.

"Brother Dashan, there seems to be something wrong with this water!"
