Ye Fu came out holding three kilograms of coarse salt, and carefully opened a corner for the man to inspect. When the man saw the salt, his eyes widened.
"Why is it coarse salt?"
"How can you afford fine salt? Brother, this coarse salt is all saved by us. If you don't want it, then I will put it away."
"No, coarse salt is coarse salt."
The man tried to grab the salt, but Ye Fu dodged it, "Let's pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
"Hey, you're quite a thief. Come on, follow me." The man reluctantly moved his eyes away from the bag of coarse salt and led the two of them to the entrance of the base.
"Brother Long, it's coarse salt."
Brother Long is not surprised. These days, if you can eat coarse salt, it will tell your fortune, so how can you be picky?
Brother Long took a step forward and stared at the bag in Ye Fu's arms. "Okay, you two wait here. I'll have someone bring out the sweet potatoes and cassava. Six hundred catties of sweet potatoes and seven hundred catties of cassava."
Ye Fu nodded, "Okay."
Ye Fu and Jiang Run looked at each other. They didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It seemed that the other party was not short of food.
Brother Long asked the man next to him to find someone to move the grain. He walked up to a few argali sheep, touched this one, and then touched that one.
"Why don't you keep one?"
"It's troublesome to carry a living animal on the road. It's not as practical as a sweet potato."
Brother Long nodded, "That's true."
After a while, several men came out carrying sweet potatoes and cassava in bamboo baskets, and also brought out a steel scale.
"Boy, I would like to weigh the coarse salt, is that okay?"
Ye Fu handed it to him generously, "Of course."
Brother Long took the coarse salt, opened it, twisted a little and put it in his mouth.
“Good salt.”
He put the salt on the scale. Unexpectedly, not only was it not less, but there was also a few taels more. He immediately asked his men to add another fifty kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Ye Fu was a little surprised, but the other party waved his hand nonchalantly, "We are not short of sweet potatoes. In the past two years, I almost vomited after eating sweet potatoes."
After receiving six hundred and fifty kilograms of sweet potatoes and seven hundred kilograms of cassava, Ye Fu rushed five argali sheep to their side. Several people checked them. They found that the argali sheep were very healthy and each one was plump. Both parties were very satisfied with this transaction.
Very satisfied.
"Actually, we also have sweet potato wine. If you want, we can exchange some for you."
Ye Fu looked surprised, "Since Brother Long said so, I will give you the remaining two kilograms of coarse salt in exchange."
Brother Long excitedly slapped the man next to him on the shoulder, "Big sister, please be happy, Xiao Liang, go get ten pounds of sweet potato wine."
Ye Fu smiled and went to the carriage to get two kilograms of coarse salt.
Sweet potato wine has a fragrant and mellow taste, with a higher alcohol content and a stronger flavor. Ye Fu was really surprised that he could get sweet potato wine instead.
Brother Long looked at the two kilograms of coarse salt handed over by Ye Fu, his hands trembling a little.
"Sister, do you have any vegetable seeds? I want to change some. To be honest, we haven't eaten vegetables in more than two years."
Ye Fu...
"What a coincidence. I happen to have cabbage seeds and radish seeds. Not much, just two packs. I'll give them to you in exchange."
Brother Long's eyes widened. He was just trying his luck. He didn't expect that the other party would actually be there. At this moment, he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Ye Fu, but he still tried his best to look calmer.
"Really, really? Then what do you want in exchange? Can I give you another hundred catties of sweet potatoes?"
Ye Fu smiled and said, "I want twenty pounds of sweet potato wine."
Vegetable seeds were bought wholesale before the end of her life, and they cost one yuan a pack.
Ye Fu felt that he had made a lot of money, and Brother Long and others also felt that they had made a lot of money. Although it was not obvious on the surface, they were very happy in their hearts.
"Okay, although there is not much sweet potato wine left, I must give it to you in exchange." Brother Long waved his hand and asked his men to move another twenty kilograms of sweet potato wine.
Jiang Rong had already loaded the sweet potatoes and cassava onto the carriage. Ye Fu gave the rapeseed and radish seeds to Brother Long. He took a look at them, confirmed that the seeds were full and intact, and immediately stuffed them into his arms.
After receiving thirty kilograms of sweet potato wine, Ye Fu opened it and smelled it. It tasted very mellow. It was indeed a big profit.
"Big sister, big brother, our acquaintance is fate. You can stay here for a few days before leaving. It's so cold now that traveling is still very hard."
After getting supplies in exchange, the other party became particularly enthusiastic. Ye Fu smiled and declined the invitation.
"No, we still have to go to Northern Xinjiang to find our family. We have to thank Brother Long for his generosity in exchanging food for us, otherwise we might have starved to death on the way."
Brother Long laughed loudly and clasped his hands in his fists, "Big sister, it's serious. Let's meet again later."
Ye Fu nodded, "See you later."
"Wait a minute, do you really have no medicine?" The man standing next to Brother Long hurriedly stopped Ye Fu and Jiang Run.
"My dad broke his legs a year ago. Because we don't have medicine here, the legs got infected and rotted badly. I just need some anti-inflammatory medicine."
Brother Long sighed, "Xiao Liang's father broke his legs trying to save a few children. You two, if you have medicine, I'm willing to give you double the food in exchange."
"Anti-inflammation can be treated with wine."
"It's because we didn't do it properly that my dad's leg got worse and worse."
"Although we don't have medicine, I used to be a medical student and can help." After Ye Fu finished speaking, Xiao Liang knelt down with a plop.
"Sister, are you really a doctor? You must save my dad."
"I can only save the patient after examination. Where is the patient?"
Brother Long quickly asked someone to open the door, "At the base, you two come in with us."
“Can Mammoth come in?”
"Okay, okay, they don't eat people, right?"
Ye Fu smiled and said, "Of course I don't eat people."
"You were offended just now. We shouldn't search you. We really have to do this. We encountered people who came to rob us before. We suffered a lot of losses and many people died."
Ye Fu waved his hand, "It's okay, I understand."
The mammoth followed behind the two of them. It looked so ferocious, but they didn't expect it to be so humane, and several people were surprised.
The base is not very big, most of the houses have collapsed, and a few low-rise houses should have been newly built later.
There were not many people in the base, probably only fifty or sixty people. Although Ye Fu was curious, he didn't ask any more questions.
It was Brother Long who took the initiative to talk about the base, "There was an acid rain three years ago, and it lasted for a whole month. Tens of thousands of people died. Later, those who survived all got sick, and they all died after not being able to survive for a few months."
Yes, we escaped from Lin Province. When we came here, there were only one or two thousand people alive in the base, but later they were all dead."
"Actually, there was acid rain in Lin Province, but it only lasted for ten days. It was worse here in Mongolia Province, and all the trees were dead. If it hadn't been for heavy rains later, which washed away the corroded land several times, we would have planted
No sweet potatoes or cassava."
"We're here, Xiaoliang's family lives here."
Several people walked into an earthen house, and Ye Fu smelled a strong smell of rot. A skinny old man was lying on the bed, and a coal stove was burning next to him.
