"We all share the surname Meng and live in Mengjia Village in Huaiyuan County. In the future, if you want to eat fish, just come and find us. You don't need to pay such a high price anymore."
"Haha, I'll thank you in advance."
The two exchanged smiles and nodded to each other. Qiao Mai continued on her way.
After Qiao Mai had gone a distance, she asked some passersby for information and learned she was in Huaiyuan County, part of the Great Ming Dynasty in the southeast - Yan City.
Here, they produced salt and fish. In this ancient and less developed era, the hardworking people in the south had found various ways to make a living, such as drying fish and shrimp to make dried seafood.
Qiao Mai wasn't in a hurry to return home. Along her journey, she bought some dried fish and salted fish.
She also bought seaweed, dried sea squill, and conch meat.
She had a lot of money, so she decided to provide some benefits for the local people.
