Winter City is too cold to grow rice. Even wheat can only be grown in spring wheat, and the yield is relatively low and the quality is far inferior to that in the Hezhong area.
The best yield here is potatoes. This crop from the Southern Golden Continent can adapt to the climate here very well, and it is considered the main crop here in Winter City.
But the people of Ming Dynasty like to eat rice and white flour, so they need to buy a large amount of grain from the Hezhong area in the south every year to survive the winter.

"You are blind. This white fox fur has no trace of hair at all. It is bright in color and very intact. You are still talking about that. I won't sell it to you anymore."
"Don't, don't, brother, it's like this in business, it's like if you go to pawn something, no matter how good it is, it will be devalued into worthless when it comes to their mouths."
"Brother, please make a price~"
"This kind of white fox fur is the finest fur. I won't sell it for less than 300 silver dollars."
