Chapter 7: Earn Yuan a Day
"Just pour it on the stinky fart vine outside."

Jiang Cong pointed at Jiang Yue's wooden barrel and said, "The stinky fart vine grows on shit, impurities, and corpses. If you pour the water on it, the stinky fart vine will stink even more. Our place will be safer."

"."

Jiang Yue poured out the dirty water he had used and looked carefully at the stinky fart vine growing on the rock wall.

The whole body of the stinky fart vine is purple-black and usually has only a very faint odor, but if it is touched by foreign objects, it will instantly release a large amount of "stinky farts" that stink to high heaven, hence the name.

"You can fight against the enemy."

Jiang Yue thought about it and felt that it would be useful, so he cut a piece of stinky fart vine as long as his arm and stuffed it into his snakeskin bag.

"Ah-"

"vomit--"

After a while, Silang screamed and the quenching was completed. He held the wooden barrel and poured the quenched waste water on the stinking vine.

With the effort of the two of them in tempering themselves, the two musk deer had been almost dealt with by Jiang Cong.

A musk deer skin, four hooves, more than ten pounds of good meat, and several pounds of offal and the like.

"I went out to the hunting market in town today and sold the musk deer skins and hooves."

Jiang Cong smiled and said, "With the seven pheasants, it's probably worth about 700 to 800 coins."

"Grandpa, why don't you just take the musk deer to the market in town and sell them? Wouldn't that be more expensive?"

Jiang Yue was a little curious.

"We have to keep the meat for ourselves."

Jiang Cong smiled slightly and taught earnestly: "Besides that, you can treat the wounds of the prey yourself. This is a skill for eating and also a skill for saving your life. If you have a conflict with others in the future, they will find out from the corpse of the musk deer that you are an expert archer and will be on guard against you everywhere. It will not be worth the loss. To survive in this world, you must be careful."

"I understand Grandpa."

Jiang Yue nodded.

In this shitty world, if you want to survive, you really have to be careful at all times.

"."

After discussing it, several people pushed aside the stinking vines, carried the pheasants, musk deer and other animals out of the cave, and quickly returned to the village.

The journey back took about an hour. They went back along the old road safely. The big yellow dog was holding a leather bag in its mouth, which made Jiang Yue jealous. He wished he could also raise a loyal dog.

After walking for a while, Jiang Cong brought Jiang Yue and Silang to Qingyang Town.

Qingyang Town is close to Funiushan Mountain. Originally, Qingyang Town was just a place for transporting medicinal materials and a resting place for hunters. Later, more and more people gathered here, and all kinds of industries developed.

Small but complete!
Although Qingyang Town is small, it has all kinds of businesses, such as medicine shops, cloth shops, and tool shops. There are also many charlatans and ruffians who tell fortunes and sell medicine.

From a distance, Qingyang Town is located in the mist and rain, with blue bricks and black tiles lined up in rows, which is very beautiful.

When I walked into Qingyang Town, I found that the streets and alleys were extremely dirty and messy. The gaps between the bluestone bricks on the ground were full of dirty water. Hunters were walking around with prey everywhere, and blood was dripping everywhere.

"The hunting ground is ahead."

This is the first time that Mr. Jiang Cong has brought Jiang Yue and Silang to hunt.

The main reason was that Jiang Yue could already hunt a lot of things on his own, which made Jiang Cong feel that he should teach Jiang Yue the knowledge of selling prey.

If you want to survive in this chaotic world, buying and selling things are the tricks.

Lieji is an alley founded by the Lin family, a wealthy family in the town. It specializes in collecting mountain products caught by hunters, whether it is medicinal herbs, prey or stones for forging, anything from the mountains can be sold to the Lin family.

In other words, it had to be sold to the Lin family.

There is simply no other choice.

As soon as Jiang Yuefu entered the hunting ground, he was hit by a foul smell and flying feathers and hairs everywhere. The managers of the Lin family set up stalls one by one, and the hunters could take their prey to people for appraisal and price.

If the price is acceptable, it can be sold directly to the Lin family. If it is not suitable, there is nothing we can do.

"Ah!"

Shiro's nose was hit by some animal hair and he sneezed.

"Erlang, did you see the words written on their stalls? If you want to sell medicinal herbs, go to the medicine stall. If you want to sell game, go to the animal stall. If you have good stuff, you can tell them and they will ask the butler to identify it."

Jiang Cong said in a deep voice: "Erlang, I will go to trade in a while, you watch carefully and remember all the steps."

"it is good!"

Jiang Yue nodded, and he and Silang carried the prey and lined up behind the animal stall with Jiang Cong.

There was a lot of noise in front and Jiang Yue couldn't see clearly. It was not until the team moved forward and it was Jiang Yue's turn that he could see the transaction process clearly.

Jiang Cong signaled to Jiang Yue and the other two, and they quickly brought two musk deer skins, four pairs of musk deer hooves, and seven pheasants to the steward of the Lin family. The steward took a look, took out a piece of black linen, and covered his hands.

Jiang Cong also put his hand under the black linen, and the two of them discussed the price from under the linen. The hunters around them couldn't tell what the transaction price was.

Jiang Yue watched curiously from behind, and saw that Jiang Cong's face gradually became ugly. After a few more gestures, Jiang Cong's expression became extremely angry.

"Not for sale!"

Jiang Cong took out the white cloth, angrily said he would not sell it, and turned to leave: "Erlang Silang, let's go! This is really too much!"

Jiang Yue and Silang didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly picked up the mountain products and followed Jiang Cong away.

The Lin family's steward smiled sarcastically and didn't care about the attitudes of Jiang Cong and the others.

After leaving the hunting ground, Jiang Yue and the other two stopped, and Silang then asked what had happened.

Jiang Cong said angrily, "In the heyday, a pheasant could be sold for more than 80 coins. Now it's only 70 coins at most. That's fine. Our two musk deer skins can get at least 400 coins. Add seven pheasants and a rat snake, and it will be at least 800 coins."

"As a result, this bastard actually offered 400 coins to buy our mountain products. This is simply too much, too much!"

Jiang Yue was secretly shocked when he heard this. It was said that the Lin family was the only dominant family and would definitely be ruthless in lowering the price, but he didn't expect that they would be so ruthless.

Cut it in half.

Several people were feeling angry. An old man dressed in linen clothes, with a hunting knife on his waist and dressed like a hunter, came to Jiang Cong and his friends, leading a donkey. If you look closely, you can see that the left arm of the hunter is empty.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I want all these goods. Please name a price. How much is it?"

Jiang Cong's eyes flickered. He covered the item with a sack and started negotiating the price with the old man.

According to Jiang Cong's estimation, these prey were worth about 800 coins, but his bottom line was 700 coins. He would not sell them for less than this amount.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Cong gestured for eight hundred coins, the old man indicated the deal, then took out a purse from his chest, counted the money, and threw eight coins of silver to Jiang Cong and his friends.

One ounce of silver is equal to one hundred coins, and one ounce of silver is equal to one thousand coins, but silver is hard currency.

"Gentle, these are all yours."

Jiang Cong felt that this man was generous. He counted the money and after confirming that it was correct, he signaled Jiang Yue and Silang to hand the prey to the old hunter.

"okay."

The old hunter smiled kindly, tied the prey to the donkey beside him, showed his empty left sleeve, and said to Jiang Cong: "Brother, you can call me Old One-Armed. I just moved to Qingyang Town from Qing County. Let's have a drink together if there is a chance."

"It's easy to talk about."

Jiang Cong responded with a smile.

"Okay. Brother, you are busy. I will leave first."

The old one-armed man grinned, led the donkey away, and soon disappeared at the end of the street, looking very generous.

Jiang Yue and the other two walked out of Qingyang Town feeling relaxed and followed the mountain road back to the village. The sun had just started to set, so they could go home and sleep.

The group was walking on a deserted path when Silang woke up from a dream. He was surprised and said, "Wow, eight hundred coins! We made eight hundred coins in one day!"

"Yes."

Jiang Cong patted Jiang Yue on the shoulder and threw a small cloth bag to Jiang Yue, which contained four coins of silver. He smiled and said, "Thanks to Erlang, otherwise, with Grandpa alone, we would only have enough money to eat once we went into the mountains. Erlang, you take half of this money, and I'll use the rest to subsidize the family expenses."

"Hehe, it's not just my second brother, it's also thanks to that old one-armed man, otherwise we wouldn't be able to sell our goods."

Silang was laughing nearby, but as soon as he said this, Jiang Cong slapped him on the back of the head. He cried out in pain and looked at Jiang Cong in confusion.

Jiang Yue explained from the side: "Those who dare to compete with the Lin family for business are not ordinary people."

"That's even better. He's quite capable, generous and loyal. He's someone worth making friends with." Shilang retorted.

Snapped--

This time, Jiang Yue slapped Silang on the back of the head.

"Elm knot!"

Jiang Yue cursed: "In this world, all the truly generous and righteous people have died a long time ago. Those who can get by smoothly are not good people! He came to us, he must have some ulterior motive. Maybe he wants to start a new hunting ground."

"real or fake?"

Shiro looked suspicious.

"How would I know? But he is definitely not an honest man. Shiro, don't be so stupid as to think everyone is a good person."

Jiang Yue grinned.
