The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble

Then, Yun the butcher covered the fish with oilcloth and secured it with ropes. Yun Yiyi said goodbye to the girl selling kimchi and continued to walk forward.

"Dad, why does our family still need to buy vegetables?" Yun Yiyi saw many vegetable stalls selling dried vegetables. She looked up and asked Yun the butcher curiously.

"You don't need to buy dried vegetables for now. We have prepared a lot. It's enough to last for a while. Let's see if there are other vegetables for sale." Yun the Butcher replied.

Yun Yiyi and the others walked forward 30 meters. "Dad, I seem to smell a very fishy smell. Do you smell it?" Yun Yiyi sniffed a few times and said.

"I smelled it too. It should be coming from the stall in front. Let's go over and take a look." Yun the butcher said. Yun the butcher walked forward about five meters and stopped the car in front of a stall.

Yun Yiyi looked over and saw salted fish, kelp, and a basket of dried shrimps on the stall. No wonder she could smell the fishy smell from such a long distance. Things from the sea do have a strong fishy smell.

"Dad, I sell salted fish." Yun Yiyi said happily. Since coming here, Yun Yiyi has never eaten sea fish, kelp, or shrimp. The main reason is that Yunjia Village is not close to the sea, and the small river in front of the village is not big, so you can catch small fish, shrimp, and crabs. You need to go to the town to buy bigger fish. The main reason is that transportation is not developed in this era, the two places are too far apart, and the road is not safe.

Those who sell these seafood products are either near the seaside or in large trading companies. They have their own caravans and buy and resell local specialties. Therefore, Yun Yiyi was particularly happy when she saw someone selling seafood. It is not easy to see them at ordinary times, and when she saw them, she would definitely want Yun the butcher to buy some back. After cleaning the salted fish and frying it in oil, it is salty and fragrant, and it tastes great with cakes or porridge.

In addition, there is another reason. The salt Zhang bought was not the snow-white iodized refined salt that was eaten before the end of the world. Zhang bought the kind of coarse salt with larger particles and a slightly yellowish color. This kind of salt is not filtered very cleanly, so there are impurities in the salt. The price of the cleanly filtered fine salt is much more expensive than the coarse salt. Farmers are reluctant to buy it to eat. They usually buy coarse salt and grind it up at home.

The salt of this era is not iodized. Some people in remote areas suffer from goiter. It is because of iodine deficiency. Iodized salt is to prevent goiter and related diseases. Iodine is one of the trace elements necessary for the human body. It mainly plays a role in maintaining human energy metabolism, promoting human development, and promoting brain development. Iodine deficiency is very harmful.

Yun Yiyi thought that she could ask Yun the butcher to buy more kelp, as eating more kelp would be good for people. But she didn't know if the price of kelp was high.

Sitting behind the stall was a very strong young man with a tanned face. He just looked at the pedestrians passing by without calling out. He stood up to greet people when they came to see him. If they didn't buy, he didn't get angry and continued to sit and wait for customers to come. You can see that he has a good temper.

"Young man, what are the prices of your salted fish, kelp, and dried shrimps?" asked Yun the butcher.

"Hello, uncle. The salted fish in my house is made of Spanish mackerel, and one fish weighs about 4 jin. One fish costs wen. The kelp is directly dried, and you need to go back and cut it into strips, cook it in a pot, and then dry it. Therefore, the price is a little cheaper than the directly processed ones, which is wen per jin. The sea shrimp skin is also wen per jin. This is processed, and you can add a little when you cook or make soup at home, and the taste will be especially fresh and fragrant. And it is dried and easy to preserve." The young man behind the stall stood up and answered loudly.

"I remember that few people here sell these seafood. I see you have a lot of them. Do you have a special way to get them?" Yun the butcher went forward to look at the kelp. The kelp looked very fresh, with white patches on it, and you could tell it was directly dried. When you got closer, you could smell a strong fishy smell. Yun the butcher had also heard about this thing from the old people in the village, and later he saw it once in the town, it was sold by a passing merchant.

Many people in the town had never seen kelp before, and they were afraid to buy it because it smelled fishy. The merchant probably saw this a lot, so he took some kelp, found a restaurant, and told the chef how to make it. The chef made cold kelp, spicy kelp, and bone soup. He brought them out for everyone to taste. Unexpectedly, the kelp looked ugly, but it tasted delicious. Then the merchant said that eating more kelp can prevent goiter.

The people in the town gathered around the merchant's cart and started buying. At that time, the merchant brought three carts of kelp, weighing several thousand kilograms. In the end, they were all sold out. The restaurant that only made kelp ordered a cart on the spot. Yun the butcher was there at the time, and he bought thirty kilograms to take back. Zhang followed Yun the butcher's instructions, first cutting it into thin strips, then blanching it with boiling water, and finally fishing it out to dry.

When eating, soak it in advance. Whether it is served cold, stir-fried, or made into soup, it tastes great and children love it. It is also easy to store. At that time, the 30 kilograms were dried and packed into several bags, and I ate it for almost a year. It was quite affordable.

Butcher Yun thought about it. He bought 280 wen per catty at that time. He bought 30 catties. Finally, he cut them into strips, blanched them with boiling water, and dried them. He packed them into several bags and ate them for nearly a year. It was really a good deal. The price quoted by this young man was not high, so he could buy some. Zhang would definitely be very happy if he bought it back.

"Uncle. I work as a escort at the Weiyuan Escort Agency in the city. At the end of last year, I went on a escort trip with my master. At that time, a big merchant in the city went to a town by the sea to purchase goods. That town is right by the sea, and every household there goes fishing. These seafood products are not expensive there. However, on the way from the city to there, you have to pass through a mountain village with a large population.

The bandits in that mountain stronghold specialize in robbing these passing merchants. If only a small group of a few people pass by, they will not rob. They only rob large businesses. Merchants dare not go to buy goods without the protection of escorts. Even if we follow them, we have to pay part of the toll to the bandits. The advantage is that we don’t have to fight and there will be no casualties. "

"This is my first time to follow a caravan escort, so I have no experience. My master has more experience, and he lent me some money so that I could buy more seafood and sell it in the city. This way, I could make more money. I bought hundreds of pounds of each item. Most of them were sold out during the Chinese New Year last year. Now only these are left on the stall. If the drought wasn't so severe, I would have sold them all long ago. Now everyone has money and wants to store food, so fewer people buy this kind of vegetables. I didn't expect you to recognize these seafood products." The young man selling seafood said in surprise.
