Chapter 37 Tavern

It was just dawn in the morning when the town gradually woke up.

The people got up early to go to the sea to see if there was any harvest in the cages they put last night, and to catch some small shrimps and fish that only appear in the morning.

The women began to organize fishing nets, put various tools into small fishing boats, and then went to make breakfast. After the man got up and finished his meal, he started his day's work.

The people who rented slaves had already run to the camp to queue up before dawn. After the time came, they immediately took the whip happily and drove the slaves to work with great might.

With the income in recent times, the town has improved a lot, and it is no longer as it did before, with ruins and messy everywhere.

At least, the area near the city lord's mansion is more or less like a regular town.

The elderly and children were free to hang out on the streets, helping to clean up some wood and carry some small gravel and debris.

The town is very small and there is something new. It takes less than an hour for everyone in the town to know.

Just like the tavern that the general personally ordered to build two days ago, has now been put into shape and listed.

The sign is hung high, and the three big words on it are clearly visible - the tavern.

It was nothing at all, it was just that the general ordered the construction of a new house. For the people, nothing was important to fill their stomachs.

But something new happened this morning, attracting all the idle people nearby.

Aunt Hua supported her waist and directed the fat aunt with the same two bucket figures to paste a big poster on the side wall of the tavern. She knocked on the wooden wall with some pride and said loudly: "Let's take a look, General, you are kind. Seeing that you eat some tasteless food all day long, I specially transferred a batch of salt to let you also replenish some salt so that you can avoid getting sick all day long and have no strength!"

As soon as this said, an uproar was suddenly heard around, everyone's eyes were as bright as light bulbs, and the noise instantly turned this place into a market.

"What did you say just now? The general wants to distribute salt?"

"Salt? Is it really salt?"

"It's amazing, it's amazing!"

"General, benevolent, long live the general!"

The messy voice directly covered Aunt Hua's loud voice. Aunt Hua was furious, put her hands on her hips, and suddenly breathed into her dantian, opening her mouth and shouting: "Shut up!"

The sound rumbled like the roar of the wind, and suddenly suppressed a noise. Everyone looked at Aunt Hua in horror, and they were all silent and dared not move.

Aunt Hua took a quick breath and snorted heavily: "You poor guys, you guys, think about good things you get for nothing all day long. The things you give you for nothing will be ruined before the next day. Who doesn't know how precious salt is?

So in order to let you know that things are hard-earned, if you wanted to exchange for a pound of salt, you had to exchange for 1,000 pounds of oysters, but the general is kind..."

Before he finished speaking, he was suppressed by the noise that surging around him.

“That’s so much for 1,000 kilograms?”

"The general is so cruel, this is 1,000 pounds!"

"No, Aunt Hua just mentioned oysters, not oyster meat. Each thing with leather and meat is more than three pounds. It only takes about 300 pieces to change to a pound of salt, which looks quite suitable!"

"Shut up!"

Aunt Hua roared again, stared at her eyes and said, "Let me finish it! Let me see who is interrupting me. I will find his wife to prevent him from going to bed for a month!"

Everyone lowered their voices and burst into laughter.

Aunt Hua snorted. "Originally, it would take 1,000 kilograms, but the general considered that it was not easy for you poor people to fill your stomach every day. Too many, it might add burden to you, so the exchange rate was set at 100 to 1!"

Aunt Hua stretched out her two fingers and kept waving her tone, "I heard that it's 100 kilograms of oysters with shells and meat. You can go to the tavern to exchange for a kilogram of fine salt. Be careful, this is definitely the fine salt, not the rags you exchanged from a merchant ship.

There are only about 30 oysters of 100 kilograms. And that thing stretches for dozens of miles on the beach, layered and everywhere. You just need to pick up some at the beach and exchange it for a kilo of good salt at the tavern. Isn’t this a reward from the general?”

Everyone showed ecstasy expressions on their faces, and shouted at the same time.

"General, merciful!"

"General, merciful!"

Aunt Hua shouted proudly: "Mr. Zhao has spoken, and only 15 people have exchange quotas every day, first come, first served, until the exchange is completed.

I was in charge of this matter myself, sitting in the tavern. If I find someone holding bad oysters to exchange and want to fool the general, see how I deal with you!"

When everyone heard that they had to limit the amount every day, they were anxious and rushed to the beach.

30 oysters can be exchanged for one pound of salt. Where can I find such a cheap transaction?

You have to hurry up, and you have to find some big and good ones specifically, otherwise you will be able to get the old lady Hua, who will not change it in the future, but it will be a loss!

Everyone had the same thoughts in their hearts, thinking about how to take this advantage for a long time.

In the General's Mansion, Qi Shan sat at the dining table, eating a bowl of fried noodles, Zhao Qian stood on the left, and Mao Dapang, who was slightly proud, stood on the right.

Qi Shan swallowed the noodles and gestured to Mao Dapang: "The skill is really good. A simple bowl of fried noodles can actually make this taste. You haven't bragged before!"

Mao Dapang raised his head: "That's right! Don't look at who I am! I'm not going to brag to you, General, even in the back mountain city, I'm the second most popular in Mao Dapang.

At most, others follow me to learn the residue and leftovers, and never get the essence!”

Qi Shan nodded and smiled, "I have been imitated and never surpassed. It seems that I have found a treasure!"

Mao Dapang's eyes lit up: "I am worthy of being a general, and I speak with great qualities. That's what I mean!"

Qi Shan smiled and asked Mao Dapang to remove the tableware.

I didn't expect that Mao Dapang's first choice was the skill of making dai sauce, but then again, it really tasted like Northeast dai sauce.

Perhaps it is because of the special plants in this world that make the taste more diverse, and there is even a little tendency to have a sweet noodle sauce. It is mixed with noodles and specially served with rice!

Qi Shan smiled and said, "The big fat man is okay to cook!"

Zhao Qian nodded: "I have real skills in my body. After mastering the kitchen, I cleaned it up in a regular manner, which made people feel comfortable to watch. Mao Dapang, a simple test of the noodles that the general brought back, will do it!"

Qi Shan smiled: "There is a person who knows how to cook at home, which can play a big role!"
