Chapter 47

Bucket is a unit of measurement. A bucket is about six kilograms, half a bucket is three kilograms, about three liang of silver.

A kilogram or two of salt is equivalent to a month's income of many ordinary people. The price is really expensive.

He remembered that some nutritionists on earth said that a normal person should eat 5 grams of salt a day. A month is three liang of salt. A family of three is almost a kilo a month. This is very cheap for people on earth, but it is extremely expensive for Dayao people.

Even the cooks in the animal garden put less salt. Because in Dayao, meat is a dish and staple food. On the one hand, the price of salt is high, on the other hand, it is too salty to eat.

From the food Ren 8000 ate in the animal garden, according to the amount of food Dayao people eat, at most half of the people on earth eat salt a day. It can be seen how much Dayao people save salt.

That is, a family of three people eat half a kilo of salt a month, which makes Dayao ordinary families barely able to bear. Nevertheless, the salt tiger is indeed a great burden.

Like what happened in the shop now, it's not the first time or the last time.

People must eat salt, but Dayao does not produce salt, so he can only let these businessmen handle it.

Similarly, Dayao people will not nitrate fur. If fur is not sold, it will rot soon.

Taken together, these foreign businessmen in Dayao seem to have formed a tacit understanding that the price of fur and salt is almost the same, so as to obtain the maximum profit.

Ren 8000 stood at the door of the shop, looked at the dispute inside and shook his head slightly. This is the consequence of the lack of national materials and technology.

"Let's go." Ren 8000 said.

With rattan gourd and iron knife, he went to the shop door and turned around. It wasn't finished and there was nothing to see. He turned to Chen's shop again.

Chen Zisheng has been waiting for Ren 8000 these days, but he is eager to see it. He can't understand a word of the three books in his hand, which makes him anxious.

Seeing Ren 8000, his eyes lit up: "Mr. Ren, you can count. I've been waiting for you every day these days."

"I promise you, I will come to translate for you." Ren 8000 smiled.

After reading the patient, Chen Zisheng asked his apprentice to sit here for himself, took Ren 8000 to the inner room, and carefully took out the three books from a box.

Ren 8000 picked up the treatise on typhoid fever and asked Chen Zisheng to prepare paper and pen records.

As Ren 8000 was reading there, Chen Zisheng scratched on the paper like a chicken claw, and he could see an illusion.

Ren 8000 had to admire his speed of writing. I admire him even more when I look at his words.

It's estimated that you can't find a password cracking expert.

Ren 8000 felt hungry after reading it for less than an hour, but it was not easy to come. Seeing that Chen Zisheng had no idea of rest, he drank hard. If you are hungry, drink plenty of water. You can fill your stomach.

Finally, after reading for an hour and a half, Chen Zisheng's eyes were straight and his body was beaten through with sweat. Ren 8000 had to stop.

It would be a great sin if he was tired by copying this thing.

When Ren 8000 stopped, Chen Zisheng immediately threw his pen away and his hands trembled like chicken feet.

"I'm so tired." Chen Zisheng shouted, grabbed a jar of water and poured it into his mouth.

After filling his neck with water, Chen Zisheng was still pumping with his right hand. He didn't forget to look up and ask Su, "how much has he written?"

"About eight more times." Ren 8000 said after reading the book.

Chen Zisheng gritted his teeth and shook his hands: "I asked my apprentice to come in and write."

"Forget it, I have something else to do. Come back some day." Ren 8000 said.

Hearing this, Chen Zisheng seemed to put down his burden and said, "good, good."

It seems that he was really tired out for more than an hour just now.

Ren 8000 estimated that if he allowed himself to write for more than an hour, that is, three hours, he would have to shake more than he did.

He went to the blacksmith's shop with the vine gourd and iron knife who had fallen asleep on the bed. As soon as he came out of the medicine shop door, he heard someone nearby angrily say, "we only changed a bucket and a half of salt for those animal skins. It won't take a few days in the stockade. We might as well rob the shop at night."

Ren eight thousand one is happy to hear this sound. It's really lucky to meet again.

Looking around, Nagu stood with a big man. Nagu looked very angry and could hang soy sauce bottles on her mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense. Let's go back and see if we can hunt more prey these days." The big man took a bag and taught her that there should be salt in the bag.

"It's a pity that the salt water in the mountains can't be eaten, otherwise it's useless to find them to buy salt."

"That's salt water? That's poisonous water. Even animals don't eat it. Some people have eaten it before. Although it tastes salty, they will get pimples and vomit. More people will faint and even die. If you eat that, you might as well rob their shop at night as you say." The big man snorted coldly.

Ren 8000 was going to walk past them. When he heard this, he was stunned and stopped directly.

"Two!" Ren 8000 turned his head and arched his hands at them.

"Who are you?" The big man looked fierce.

"Ah, what day are you..." Nagu recognized Ren 8000.

"I heard you say salt water just now. I don't know what it is like?" Ren 8000 asked.

The big man listened to his questions, snorted coldly and ignored him at all. I've just been angry in those shops. There's no place to spread it at this time.

"I'm not from the cloud Kingdom, nor from the state of Chen, nor from Daxia. At present, I'm on duty in the animal garden. The things between you and those businessmen have nothing to do with me. Reasonably speaking, I should be a great talent now." Ren 8000 looked at their attitude and didn't have to think about it. He immediately smiled and said.

"This is the manager of the animal garden." Said the iron knife socket behind him.

The animal garden is attached to the imperial palace. When they heard that they looked better after working in the animal garden, they turned around and looked at Ren 8000: "what do you ask salt water for? Someone has thought about it for a long time. It can't be eaten at all. They don't even eat wild animals in the mountain."

"If it's poisonous, you really can't eat it, but maybe you can refine it and eliminate the toxin. You don't have to worry about eating salt." Ren 8000 said.

"Impossible." The big man said flatly.

"Don't bother. Someone has already thought about it." Nagu also said at the same time that she had a better attitude towards Ren 8000 than a big man. Maybe it was because she hit Ren 8000 at the beginning, so she didn't feel so strange.

"Can't we know until we listen to you talk about salt water." Ren 8000 said.

"The water is from a pool on the mountain. The water is salty, bitter and smelly. We all call it black pool." Said Nagu.

"Is the water black? Is it the smell of rotten eggs?" Ren 8000 asked hurriedly.

Nagu nodded. "It's dark and muddy. Nothing grows around. It really smells like rotten eggs."
