Unlike other towns they had visited due to the two taxes, Rongcheng was a garrisoned border town. Although there were no Japanese pirates for the time being, he was still poor!
Before Song Yucheng came, even the Rongcheng garrison had been robbing the rich to help the poor in order to survive, not to mention the people begging for food in the sea. Even the young children knew how to raise the harpoon.
Therefore, whenever walking on the road, you would see brave people carrying bloody big fish home. The key is that they are also very hospitable. When they see the two tax envoys, they will warmly invite them.
God knows what's going on in those houses, they wish every house was filled with the smell of fish. The delicacies for entertaining guests are freshly caught live fish, and occasionally crabs picked up from the shore or some unknown shells.
Of course, if these were handed over to the chefs in Shangjing, they would surely become the most delicious food. But the people in Rongcheng didn't even have the basic seasonings, and couldn't even get rid of the basic fishy smell. Not to mention that it was delicious, it was even difficult to eat.
