I'm brushing proficiency in the realm of comprehension

Chapter 18 Monster Meat

When Zhou You entered the house, Zhang Yuan had already practiced in the courtyard for a long time holding a spear.

The young man watched Big Brother Zhou improve faster and faster in marksmanship, but he couldn't keep up no matter how hard he tried.

In the past few days, as long as he has the skill, he will stand in the courtyard by himself and practice various spear moves.

"Xiao Zhang, come on, let's practice duel." Zhou You said, reaching out his hand to take out a long gun from his storage bag.

The two of you come and go, one move after another, having a lot of fun.

The girl in the white jade hairpin saw Zhou You playing house with Zhang Yuan, and said, "You should go out and rob the way. Only when you meet a strong man can you sharpen your marksmanship!"

Zhou You didn't know why he kept thinking about this guy, and persuaded himself to go out to rob the road, but Xiao Zhang was at the side, and it was not easy to talk to her.

With the fire dragon gun in his hand, he shook it into a gorgeous gun flower, and showed off his skills in front of the young man.

"You are somewhat talented in this marksmanship. After fighting, you will become stronger very quickly." The girl couldn't help sighing when she saw that Zhou You was not getting in.

Zhou You smiled slightly.

By evening.

Liu San knocked on the courtyard door and called them to have dinner.

Zhou You and Zhang Yuan tidied up a bit and went out.

Entering the small courtyard next door, I found that a large table had already been set up in the courtyard. There were a dozen kinds of food and a jar of wine on the table.

Sitting at the table, apart from Liu San and his good-natured middle-aged woman, there were also several middle-aged people who seemed to be their friends.

"Brother Zhou, sit down quickly." Liu San said, pulling Zhou You and the others to sit down.

"Brother Liu, what's the happy event today? I'm still hiding it." Everyone raised their glasses, and after drinking a glass of wine together, Zhou You asked with a smile.

"Hehe, I found a job in the city, and we will formally live together as a partner in the future." Liu San grabbed the woman's hand, smiled happily, raised his hand and drank another glass of wine.

The middle-aged woman next to him looked about 36 or [-] years old. Although her figure was average, she always had a smile on her face, and she looked gentle and amiable.

"Brother Zhou, you are so accurate!" Zhang Yuan turned around and smiled at Zhou You when he heard Liu San's words.

Zhou You smiled, and took out the congratulatory gift prepared in the afternoon from the storage bag.

It was a big cloth bag, and what was in it was a four-piece silk bed set, which was very nicely embroidered, and he bought it for three or four taels of gold.

This middle-aged newlywed couple should have some savings in their hands, but they definitely wouldn't be willing to buy such a luxurious thing.

For ordinary people, the price of this gift is neither high nor low, and it can also highlight a heart. Traveling around also put a lot of thought into it.

"This is clothes?" Liu San held the cloth bag and looked at Zhou You suspiciously.

"Open it and have a look." Zhou You said with a smile, then took a bite of food and started to eat.

Liu San opened the cloth bag, and a set of bright red silk sheets appeared in front of him. There were two pillows and a quilt cover under the sheets.

"It's made of silk!" Liu San's daughter-in-law looked very happy, her eyes were full of joy as she touched the silky bed sheet in her hand.

Several friends of the husband and wife also looked at the things in the cloth bag enviously.

Regardless of the mere taels of gold, this is enough for ordinary people to save for several months.

Although monks and mortals live in harmony in this county, the gap between the rich and the poor, as well as the chain of contempt, cannot be repaired by any rules.

Ordinary people can invite monk friends to dinner, sit together and have a friendly chat, Liu San can use this to show off to his friends.

Speaking of the gap between the rich and the poor, take Zhang Yuan as an example in the early stage of Qi refining. He can work in a big restaurant, counting tips a month, and it is estimated that he can earn more than a dozen spirit stones.

And a low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for more than a dozen taels of gold.

Ordinary people working in ordinary restaurants can't earn a few taels of gold a month, and they have to support their families, so they can't save much money.

Even if it is the lowest level of monks, if they work in this city for two years, it is estimated that they will be able to eat and die for the rest of their lives.

Full of wine and food.

After saying a few more words of congratulations, Zhou You and Zhang Yuan went home.

Zhou You was still busy refining the Ningshen Pill to make money. With his current primary proficiency, the success rate of a batch of pills can already be kept at around eight pills.

25 spirit stones and one medicinal material, ten pills can sell 37 spiritual stones, as long as one medicinal material can be refined to seven pills, you will never lose money!
Zhou You is finally about to start making money!

Arrange the medicinal materials one by one, and start alchemy!

……

Zhang Yuan was sitting in his room, holding a pen in his hand, looking at the book, concentrating on drawing on a piece of yellow paper.

The boy's current schedule is almost exactly the same as that of Zhou You's.
Get up in the morning to recover your spiritual power, improve your cultivation, practice spears in the afternoon, and practice talisman making in the evening.

He is very serious and hopes to become stronger soon and help Brother Zhou pay off his debts.

……

The next day, the two brothers got up in the morning after recovering their spiritual energy.

"Xiao Zhang, don't cook today, let's go out to eat!" Zhou You was very happy. Yesterday he refined thirteen furnaces of pills, and together they can make eleven bottles of Meditation Pills. Making money is considered stable. .

Walking to the East Street, Zhang Yuan turned to Zhou You and asked, "Brother Zhou, where shall we eat?"

"How about Tianyuan Building?" Zhou You asked with a smile.

"very expensive……"

"who cares!"

……

There are four streets in Qingshan County, east, west, north, south.

Each street is more than ten miles long, and there are other messy small streets mixed with it. Others say that Qingshan County is a small town, but Zhou You doesn't think so.

The several main streets are extremely prosperous, and there is basically nothing that cannot be bought.

Fengyue places, restaurants, inns, all kinds of shops and small vendors are filled in every street.

This Tianyuanlou is the largest restaurant on East Street.

There are a total of dozens of tables on the three floors, as well as large and small private rooms. There is an endless stream of people coming and going every day, and all the people who come to eat are monks.

The cheapest vegetarian dishes are all paid with spirit stones, so it's really unaffordable if you don't have a little money.

When Zhou You and Zhang Yuan entered the restaurant, someone immediately greeted them and brought them to the window seat on the second floor.

Zhou You looked at the menu on the wall, "Braised bear's paw, stir-fried bamboo shoots, chicken with mushrooms, and fish soup."

He ordered three dishes and one soup in total.

The waiter took the list and immediately ran downstairs to inform the kitchen.

After nearly two quarters of an hour, all the dishes ordered by Zhou You were served.

I have to say that the dishes are very delicate and have a strong aroma, but it seems a bit overpackaged?

Zhou You felt that this thick porcelain plate, plus all kinds of carved decorations, would weigh more than ten catties...

Bears, chickens, and fish are all first-order monsters.

Bamboo shoots and mushrooms are also spiritual materials, which contain a little spiritual energy, and their benefits to monks are self-evident.

It was the first time for the two brothers to eat this kind of high-quality ingredients. The two of them swept away the three dishes and one soup, and sat on the chairs satisfied, still savoring it.

The meat of these monsters is soft and delicious, and the chef's skills are indeed undeniable. Vegetarian dishes such as stir-fried bamboo shoots are also extremely crispy.

To say that this monster meat is really miraculous, after the two brothers finished eating, they only felt warm all over.

Even if it's just the flesh of a first-order monster, it can slightly strengthen one's physique.

After finishing the calculation, a total of twelve spirit stones were spent.

Among them, the bear's paw tasted the best, but it was also the most expensive, requiring six spirit stones.

Satisfied, Zhou You and Zhang Yuan returned home and continued to practice marksmanship.
