    Food is inseparable from salt.

    The main sources of table salt are: sea salt, pond salt [lake salt], rock salt [mine salt] and well salt.  Among them, only well salt is the best.

    Well salt, as the name suggests, is to build a well to get salt.

    In the history of my country's salt production, the most famous area for well salt production is Fuyi [now Zigong] in Sichuan, which is a "thousand-year salt capital".

    ¡¾1¡¿The ballad of "Fuyi Mountain with a lot of bullshit"

    There are two well-known large salt wells in Fuyi area, one is called "Artesian Well" and the other is called "Gong Well".

    "Artesian Well", as the name suggests, is a naturally formed salt well; the other well, because the salt it produces is of high quality, was once tributed to the emperor for consumption, so it is called "Gongjing".

    During the period of the Republic of China, the government took the first characters of these two wells and changed the Fuyi area to "Zigong City".

    There are not only these two wells in Fuyi area, but more than 13,000 salt wells have been drilled in history.  During the prosperous period, hundreds or even thousands of salt wells were put into production at the same time.

    When a salt well is "successful", it will often lead to the completion of a number of salt wells around it. If the production is abundant, it can even lead to the birth of a small town.

    This is how Fuyi Town was formed.

    The well salt produced in Fuyi area is not only used for local residents, but also shipped to Guizhou, Yunnan, Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Gansu and many other places.  Therefore, the Fuyi area quickly became rich.

    A popular local folk song is sung like this:

    "There is a lot of cow dung in the mountains, and there is a lot of beef in the short streets.

    There are many small salt boats on the river, and many sedan chairs on narrow roads.  "

    More than two of the songs are related to cattle, which reflects the pivotal role of cattle in the local saltworks.

    In the past, the main driving force for production in the saltworks was draft cattle, which played an irreplaceable role in operations such as pushing water and carrying loads.  Under normal circumstances, the number of cattle in Fuyi Saltworks is kept at around 30,000 all year round.  During the heyday of the salt industry, there were as many as 100,000 draft cattle.

    As a result, there are many industries that have emerged around cattle in Fuyi.  For example, a cattle doctor who specializes in treating cattle, a cattle broker in the bull market, and a cattle dealer who buys two cows and sells well brine for the well owner and salvages the utensils in the well, etc.

    There are countless delicacies made with beef, such as "fire side beef", "boiled beef", "hot yellow throat", "steamed beef with powder" and so on.

    [2] The business experience of "Traveling to the Countryside"

    Do business,

    Don't think about what the market needs,

    What are you doing;

    Instead, feel what you can do,

    Just do what you want.

    Do it well and finely, to the extreme;

    ?Whoever wants to buy it, whoever wants to give it up to me!

    The Fuyi area is the fiefdom of the "King of Yi", who is the King of the Golden Seal Beast.  He is the son of monk Kuanchebuhua, and the real owner of Fuyi, a land full of gold.

    On this day, Ji Xu came to Fuyi.

    ? Seeing a noodle shop marked "Taxiangji. Dandan Noodles", the business is extremely hot, so I stepped in.

    The guests gathered around the square table and only ate bowls of "Dan Dan noodles"; for a few drinking guests, there was an extra plate of cold beef slices on the table than others.

    Ji Xu found a table where the meal was about to finish and waited.

    Seeing so many diners, Ji Xu said to Wang Yi and others around him: "When doing business, don't just think about what the market demands, and do what you do. Instead, think about what you can do, what you can do best,  It is the most detailed, to the point where anyone who wants to buy this thing must find you to buy it, this is the skill."

    Pointing to the noodles on the table, he said: "This bowl of noodles seems simple - roll out flour to make noodles, cook them, and scoop up fried minced meat. But it is not easy to achieve the ultimate here.  .Look, the noodles are thin, the marinade is crispy, salty, fresh and slightly spicy, and the aroma is tangy just looking at it, it's very tempting!"

    Just as he was talking, the guests at the table had finished eating and left, and Ji Xu and the others sat down.

    There is a person, the spirit of Feiyan.

    Put on Hua Yin with a sharp ring.

    Promoting the shooting is done with the red sleeves raised, and the wind willow the waist.

    The rustling light skirt is wonderful and new.

    At the end of the song, the fragrance dust is collected independently.

    It should be Xi Shi who is delicate and sleepy, with black eyebrows and double frowns.

    [Qiang: the sound of qi¨¡ng metal or jade hitting; Yin: yin jacket (clothes between coat and underwear).  ]

    Following a clattering sound, a beautiful girl like Zhao Feiyan floated onto the stage;In the country, spring comes and sends out a few branches.

    May you pick more, this thing is the most lovesick.  "

    "Good poetry, and the poetry is written sincerely!"

    The dancer sighed.

    "It's a good thing that someone is chasing you. Why are you sighing?"

    The dancer untied two beads from her waist and handed them to Ji Xu, saying, "He gave it to me that day after he finished singing the poem."

    Ji Xu took the pair of jewelry pendants: one is ruby, the other is amber, and there is really a heart-shaped red bean inside.  He held the bead and looked at it carefully, "This is the most lovesick thing! This kind of strange thing is given to you, it seems that he really likes you! Do you like him?"

    The dancer lowered her head shyly.

    "Since you like it, marry him!"

    "Cancan"

    "What? The age difference is too big?"

    The dancer shook her head.

    "Not allowed in his family?"

    The dancer shook her head again.

    "So, what's stopping the two of you from bonding?"

    "I am married¡­¡­"

    "You?" Ji Xu laughed, "It's not easy to handle, as the saying goes, 'A loyal minister does not serve two masters, and a good woman does not serve two husbands'. What does your husband do?"

    "He is working as a guard in Prince Yi's Mansion."

    "It seems that you can only choose one of them."

    "How do you let me choose?"

    "Marry whoever you like!"

    "I don't know who I like."

    "You, if you like, you can write poetry!"

    "How do you know?"

    "If you don't like it, how can you keep hanging the things he gave you around your waist?"

    The dancer fell silent.

    "Are you married to your husband?"

    "Not yet, just engaged."

    "So, you are the wife."

    The dancer nodded again.

    "Would you like to hear my advice?"

    Boss Wu raised his head.

    "Actually, no matter how beautiful the poems are, they can't be eaten! Besides, he already has a wife at home. You might as well marry a guard to make you feel more at ease."

    "But he often comes to harass me, how can I reply to him?"

    "Reject him directly. If Zhang refuses to speak, write him a poem and reject him!"

    "But, I can only dance, not write poetry."

    Ji Xu smiled and said, "Bring a pen and paper, and I'll teach you how to write."

    Brought a pen and paper, Ji Xu wrote a song "The Song of the Festival Woman" and gave it to the dancer
