True enough that the guard probably wasn't too well versed in trading period. Considering he probably grew up in that city and eventually became a guard that kind of lifestyle would be pretty foreign to him. Like the idea of a village not believing in his one god. Though if he is a guard you'd think he'd run into traders now and then.
Agree pretty much with the views on the trading items we've seen Lawrence work with so far. Salt should certainly be a valuable item for that period for is preservative use and always nice as a seasoning. Seems like Lawrence was using his head with variety of goods that wouldn't go bad on him along the way.
On the apple side, probably would only be a good trade item if it was for a short trip from where he got them to drop off location. Uncertain on what good ways to help them last longer. Yeah actually did check it out and seems they'd only stay good for a week. So would probably need to be a really short trip for trading to be good for them.
So certainly it seems like Lawrence is a solid merchant trading in things that make sense. Curious what kinds of items we'll see him working with as the series moves along.
