Chapter 22: The Legend

Large pieces of rock salt are the best even in this "Salt Capital". They can be sold at a price at the market, but this "weird" doesn't care at all and let Qin Shou and others take it away.

Bai Rongrong and Dudu had never seen such high-quality rock salt, so they immediately took out a bag and put two very large rock salt into the bag.

Qin Shou came to the big pit and said to the young man who was still digging below: "May I ask... are you digging 'Dragon Scale Rock Salt'?"

"That's right, only the legendary 'Dragon Scale Rock Salt' can be given the title of 'Salt Capital'. I also believe it must exist!" The young man stared at the rock salt in front of him and said firmly.

However, Bai Rongrong was very excited to get two large pieces of rock salt. She had seen such a large rock salt in the capital, and was so happy that she could no longer find it in the southeast, southwest and northwest.

"The rock salt is already big enough. I want to show it to Liu to let that guy speak silently. Master, please wait for me~~~~" Bai Rongrong said happily.

"Ah, wait Rongrong, we still have nothing to do!" Dudu shouted hurriedly.

Qin Shou shook his head secretly, and then started talking to the young man, the "weird man" he called out to the mouth of the open-air restaurant owner.

After a conversation, I learned about the name of this person and the reason for the long-term excavation of the valley here.

"Please have tea."

"Ah, thank you."

The four of them sat in the humble house drinking tea while chatting.

There are various excavated stones on the shelves in the house. These stones have shapes and shapes, which look very appreciative.

"I am Apo, a rock salt miner. Please give me some advice." Apo introduced himself.

"My name is Qin Shou. They also like to call me Xiaodangjia and A'ang. Please give me more advice. Now I will take my lover and apprentice to travel while learning to cook." Qin Shou introduced it briefly, but of course he did not disclose much about his true identity.

Qin Shou picked up a very valuable rock on the table and said in surprise: "May I ask, these are all things you dug out, they are all very valuable. And, are they dumpling fossils?"

"Dumpling fossils? How can there be such a thing... it's incredible?" Dudu looked at the stone in Qin Shou's hand with no difference from the real dumplings.

Qin Shou smiled and said, "No, I have heard someone mention this kind of fossil have been found in the ruins of Turpan in the Western Regions. I have always heard of it before. This is the first time I have seen this kind of fossil."

"Oh, you know so much. You deserve to be the chef of the future. It's indeed what you said."

Apo took the fossil of dumplings from Qin Shou and recalled, "This is the 'relic' left by my father. I will not forget what he said to me. 'Apo, look, I have even dug up the fossils that symbolize wealth. If you hold it, you will definitely become a rich man!' My father told me this... Although I know that it might be a lie to the child, I will still not forget what my father did."

After hearing this, Qin Shou nodded thoughtfully and said, "So that's it. Both of you and your son wanted to become 'salt-selling rich men'?"

"Yes, my father was originally a salt well miner who worked for others. One day, in order to dig salt on his own, he became independent after a change of thought. We even borrowed money from others and moved to various rotten huts. The father and son dug it all day long." Apo said.

The glorious labor is a traditional concept from ancient times to the present, and it can also be regarded as a traditional virtue.

However, this obsession with getting rich overnight is a little bit stronger.

"Are you eager for wealth? But you can't be rushing to achieve such things," Dudu said.

Apo didn't think this was something that he was embarrassed to mention, and said, "Everyone has this kind of thing, but obsession alone would not achieve this level. We rely on men's dreams."

"Dream? It's related to 'Dragon Scale Rock Salt'." Qin Shou guessed immediately.

Apo nodded and said, "Well, what we are looking for is not a salt well, but a rock salt layer. There is a legend in this kind of place. It is said that many dragons gathered and drilled into the ground a long time ago... Soon after, the red scales of the dragons fell off one after another, forming a top-level rock salt layer."

When Dudu and Bai Rongrong heard this, they obviously didn't believe that such a thing was happening.

Dragons are just creatures that appear in myths, and they are truly something that no longer exists.

Qin Shou was also very confused and wondered. When he came here, he also asked about the God of Food System. He also said that "Dragon Scale Rock Salt" does exist, so how can a creature like dragon really exist in this world? Isn't it a bit too fantasy...

"In fact, when my father was very young, he seemed to have seen a 'real dragon' in a cave he discovered during an adventure, and he fell asleep on the beautiful scale salt that fell off." Apo said again.

"Hey? Ju...is there such a thing?"

"Dragon, does it really exist?"

Dudu and Bai Rongrong both said that they were incredible, and the more they heard it, the more they felt it was very lingering.

"Because my father's memory is already blurred, and the earthquake caused many caves to be blocked, I couldn't find the exact location, but he wanted to dig back to that place and witness it with his own eyes, so he pursued his dream wholeheartedly."

Apo was trapped in infinite memories, and at the same time he was sad, saying, "I don't know when my father's dream also became my dream. However, others said that it might just be just my father's dream when he saw the dragon when he was dreaming, and he was sneering at him. In the end, my father failed to get what he wanted and his body was exhausted first. Last year, he..."

After saying that, everyone in the room fell into silence, and no one spoke for a while.

"But now, Brother Apo, you will inherit his 'dream' and continue digging, right?" Qin Shou comforted with a smile.

Apo is also a cheerful and optimistic person. He has not been in the sadness for too long and smiled and said, "Well, I believe there will be a miracle tomorrow. Don't underestimate my intuition. Although the place I like is very small, most of them can dig up treasures. This time, this rock salt is full of potential. As long as you dig a few more times on the rock plate, there will definitely be..."
