Heart Attack

Unlike yesterday, there were fewer people on the streets or negotiating prices with stall owners. After walking for a while, she saw a store selling salt. 

Curious, Yao Ran approached a worker and asked, "Is this salt extracted from seawater?"

The worker looked up and smiled. "Yes, but it's safe to consume. We use high temperatures to burn the salt after extraction, ensuring no viruses are present."

Looking at the burnt yellow color of the salt, Yao Ran knew he was telling the truth.

Seeing her interest, the worker politely asked, "Would you like to buy some?"

Yao Ran looked at the price tag, noting that 50 grams of salt cost five kilograms of food. Considering she could earn over 10 kilograms per day by planting food or producing water, she found the price reasonable.

As she looked around, Yao Ran noticed a blackboard on the wall and asked, "Are you also accepting material exchanges?"
