Tangtang, upon hearing they were approaching the sea, couldn't contain her overwhelming joy, "Jin Han, do you know what the seaside means?"
Jin Han, seeing her unrestrained excitement, sensed something good was about to happen. Indeed, her next words confirmed it.
"It means we can have a constant supply of salt, even better and purer than that from the salt-alkali lands."
No sooner said than done, the very next morning, Tangtang stewed the three fish left from the day before, added water to the remaining half pot of grains from last night to simmer into sticky porridge, woke Pan Lin and fed him some food. Jin Han came over for breakfast while it was still dark, and the family of three packed their cooking utensils and headed south in flight.
