Suddenly, Feng Shao took out a large bag from his storage ring, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said, “Many thanks for uncle’s hospitality, please take these things as a thank-you gift!”
“How is this possible?” The middle-aged man hastily declined, “It’s just a little countryman’s meal, why should the guests be so polite?”
“Uncle, please don’t refuse. We rashly came to the door to bother you. If we come empty-handed, how can we be guests? Please accept it, uncle!”
“This...” The middle-aged man looked hesitant.
Seeing his hesitation, Feng Shao had no choice but to say, “Uncle, what’s in this bag is just some salt, it’s not worth much, don’t refuse!”
Hearing the word “salt,” the middle-aged man’s eyes lit up immediately.
In fact, salt is not worth much as Feng Shao said. Unless one lives in a place where salt is abundant, salt is considered a luxury product for most people. Although adding a little salt can make food taste delicious, it is this little salt that most people cannot afford.
Firstly, the extraction process of salt is very backward in this world, secondly, the transportation conditions are poor, and thirdly, the salt tax is very high.
The life others take for granted is often what some people dream of.
For the middle-aged man, although the salt Feng Shao brought out was only coarse salt, it was worth more than its weight in silver.
He happily received it and thanked them repeatedly.
Seeing his delight, Lin Xiaoran couldn’t help being curious, and she asked, “Uncle, it’s just some salt, there’s no need to do this, right?”
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Miss, you don’t know, but our place is remote, and we have to go to a big city hundreds of miles away to buy everything. Miss may not think this salt is valuable, but for us, it is a rare good thing.”
Lin Xiaoran still looked confused after hearing his explanation.
The middle-aged man smiled wryly and said, “Those of us who live in the countryside rely on the heavens to reward us with food. If the heavens are in a good mood and the weather is good, we don’t have to worry about food and drink. But if the heavens are in a bad mood, it rains too much or too little, and we will inevitably starve.”
Lin Xiaoran also experienced the feeling of hunger. At that time, she never thought that food, which she never cared about before, was so important. But in her mind, it was still hard to believe that there were people in this world who would starve to death.
They can obviously farm and hunt by themselves, but why do they still starve to death?
Lin Xiaoran was stunned, realizing for the first time that there were still many things she didn’t understand about the world.
She subconsciously looked at Feng Shao, as if she had vaguely guessed Feng Shao’s purpose for bringing her here.
From the beginning to the end, Feng Shao was very calm and seemed to be accustomed to what the boy had said. He should have known for a long time that in this world, there are still many people who can’t even afford salt, and can’t even eat enough, right?
Feng Shao noticed Lin Xiaoran, who was in a daze, so he patted her hand and said, “This wild boar meat is something that people are normally reluctant to eat, but it was specially brought out to treat us today. We can’t live up to such delicious food!”
Lin Xiaoran looked down at the wild boar meat in her hand, and suddenly asked, “Brother Shao, do you think there will be a day when everyone in the world can have enough to eat, and everyone can have money to buy what they want?”
“Maybe there will be such a day!” Feng Shao nodded and said, “But to make that day come, someone has to take the initiative and do something.”
Lin Xiaoran looked at Feng Shao thoughtfully.
