Chapter 6 Solicitation
The two immediately agreed to go home separately.

Chen She went to his home to get money and came to Zhao Xuan's house to buy a rabbit. He paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.

Zhao Xuan promised to wait for him at noon. After noon, he would go to Shangtang Market and sell the rabbits.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen She came with a scale, full of sincerity.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan simply took out two rabbits and let Chen She choose.

A strange look flashed in Chen She's eyes: "Did you shoot these two?"

"lucky."

Zhao Xuan laughed and didn't want to go into details: "This one is fatter. What do you think, Brother Five?"

Seeing that Zhao Xuan was unwilling to say anything, Chen She did not pursue the question further and pondered for a moment: "Send a pair as a gift. I want both."

Zhao Xuan gave Chen She a thumbs up: "Fifth brother is very generous, and I can't be too stingy. Two coins are worth five cents per catty to you."

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet.

The money is less, but it saves the time of going back and forth to the market and the time of hawking, so it is not a loss.

Chen She laughed and said, "Then I won't be polite."

The two rabbits weighed a total of 42 kilograms and five taels.

"Put a zero on it and I'll charge you 210 cents."

Chen She readily took out two coins, counted twelve copper plates, and handed them to Zhao Xuan.

After the transaction was completed, Chen She asked tentatively: "Zhao Er, have you ever thought about going out to have a try?"

Zhao Xuan shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I might in the future."

I haven't even reached the full level of basic archery skills, and I haven't saved enough money to buy a decent hunting bow. Why go out?
Chen She smiled and said: "Zhao Er, you are wrong. It is better to go out and make a living sooner rather than later."

"Fifth brother, I left home when I was 15 years old. I worked hard in the Wang family for eight years before I was appreciated by my master's family and promoted to the head of the family. I managed the farm for the master's family and was paid three cents of silver a month."

"How could I have this opportunity if I spent a few years at a later age and lost my strength due to old age?"

"Last year, with my prayer, the eldest lady promised to marry Yunduo, the chambermaid, to me, and allowed me to build a house in Wangjiazhuang."

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant. When your nephew is born, he will be from the city."

The more Chen She talked, the more excited she became.

The more Zhao Xuan listened, the more something was wrong. Isn't this the person he was before time travel?

Chen She grabbed Zhao Xuan's arm and said, "People of the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets. When the fifth brother comes back this time, he wants to help the master's family recruit some reliable servants in the village."

"You are good at archery. The three young masters are all preparing for the martial arts examination. If you can be selected by the young master as your training partner, you will be put into good use and you will not waste many years like me."

"Gou rich, don't forget each other."

Zhao Xuan suddenly realized, Chen She wanted to recruit him?
There was almost no hesitation and he decisively refused: "Thank you Fifth Brother for your consideration. I still want to go out and explore later."

If he didn't have the awakening talent and was a hungry mountain man, he would probably go out with Chen She to learn more.

But if you are gifted and work as a servant for others, you may not have a flaw in your brain.

Chen She said anxiously: "Did you know that the sparring partner eats white rice three times a day, and can also eat meat every now and then. His monthly salary is at least two qian, and his income is guaranteed during droughts and floods. It is much better than what you do in the village."

"Yes, you shot two rabbits today and made a fortune, but are you guaranteed to catch rabbits every day?"

"Don't you want to marry a wife? Do you want your descendants to be like you, living a hungry life in this remote mountain village?"

He didn't have much contact with Zhao Xuan, but he clearly felt that compared with the people introduced by the clan, Zhao Xuan had a calm personality and had special skills, which fully met the Wang family's recruitment requirements.

Even if you can't be selected as a sparring partner, you can still receive help from your subordinates.

Zhao Xuan just shook his head: "Thank you Fifth Brother for your attention."

Seeing Zhao Xuan's resolute attitude, Chen She's face was full of disappointment.

"This opportunity is rare, Fifth Brother, I hope you can think about it carefully."

"I'm going back in the afternoon. If you change your mind, you can go to Wangjiazhuang in the southern suburbs to find me."

Zhao Xuan clasped his fists: "Don't worry, little brother, I wish fifth brother a bright future."

Watching Chen She leave, Zhao Xuan felt deeply, among all living beings, who is not trying to make his life better?

Starting today, practice more.

After finishing lunch, he started whittling bamboo arrows in the house.

He planned to cut two hundred of them first and shoot them all in the afternoon.

……

half a month later.

"You hit the target three times in a row, and your archery skills have improved."

"Hunt a hundred animals in total and achieve the achievement "Hundred Kills", and your archery skills will be greatly improved." "Basic archery skills: 75/100."

"Basic archery skills are increased to 75, reaching the Dacheng level. Arm strength increases by fifty kilograms, and the sensory extension is 50 meters."

Zhao Xuan put down his bow and arrow, looked at a deer, five rabbits and more than twenty birds of various types at his feet, and breathed a sigh of relief.

For half a month, he lived a life of three points and one line.

He cuts bamboo arrows at home, goes hunting in the mountains, and sells goods in the market.

Finally, the basic archery skills have been improved to the master level.

Back home, Zhao Xuan stood by the water tank and looked at his reflection.

He vaguely remembered that when he traveled back in time, he was a skinny boy with no flesh on his cheeks, dull eyes.

At this moment, he has a full sky, his eyes are as bright as a torch, and his arms are as thick as the mouth of a bowl. He is completely different from before.

What a big change!
After sighing for a moment, Zhao Xuan left the most beloved deer and headed to the market with the rabbits and birds.

As your physique increases, your appetite becomes larger and larger, so of course you have to keep the best for yourself.

It is better to love yourself than to love others.

Moreover, in recent times, he has been diligent in going up the mountain and has hunted a lot of prey.

There are too many goods, and sales have become the biggest problem.

After all, in remote areas, not many people are willing to spend money to eat meat.

To this end, Zhao Xuan visited the shops in Shangtangji and Chang'aoji to sell them, and sometimes even offered discounts.

In order to reduce his sense of presence, he went to the two markets in rotation, only going to one shop a day, and sometimes leaving part of it to make dried meat.

Today is the turn of Shangtang Gathering.

Zhao Xuan walked into the blacksmith shop carrying the rabbit: "Boss, do you want the rabbit?"

The boss who was sleeping on the recliner stood up and said, "It's you again? I've been here three times this month."

Zhao Xuan said with a smile: "Don't I just like your strong bow? I need to kill more rabbits and sell them for money."

"After all, I'm working for the boss."

The blacksmith shop owner was amused: "Have you collected enough money?"

Zhao Xuan said seriously: "The boss just bought these two rabbits and that's it."

The owner of the blacksmith shop smiled and said, "It's settled, I'll buy the rabbit and you'll buy the bow."

Zhao Xuan made some calculations and spent the money on buying rice, salt, clothes, shoes and other expenses. He saved three taels of silver to make a living.

It's not a big problem to take out a few taels of silver to buy a good bow.

With a good bow and a few iron arrows, you won't be trapped in a tree by a wild boar next time and unable to get down for two hours.

"Okay, boss, let me make it cheaper. How about giving me ten more iron arrows?"

The owner of the blacksmith shop only thought that Zhao Xuan was joking and agreed: "Okay."

He turned to the guys and shouted, "Want some rabbit meat?"

The guys all said in unison: "I want to."

"Okay, each person pays [-] cents, and I'll pay the rest. Let's eat rabbit meat together in the evening."

buddy: ...

Counting the apprentices, there are 15 people in the blacksmith shop. Each person pays [-] cents, which is [-] cents. It is only a lot more to buy two rabbits.

The boss is indeed the boss.

Zhao Xuan got the money from selling the rabbit and gave him two turtle doves as extras.

Return home, take some from each of the seven hiding places, and return to the blacksmith shop.

When the blacksmith shop owner saw him leaving and returning with a pile of copper plates and broken silver in his hand, he was stunned for a moment: "Do you really want to buy it?"

Zhao Xuan said seriously: "People must keep their word. If the boss buys my rabbit, I will buy the bow as promised."

"Don't worry, boss, I really like that bow, it's not just a whim."

The owner of the blacksmith shop had a toothache: "Then do I have to give you a discount as agreed and give you ten iron arrows?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and said: "The boss wants to give it away, I don't mind."

The blacksmith rolled his eyes: "You gave me two turtle doves, how can I be inferior to you?"

"Guys, come here and shoot ten iron arrows for me. Be careful. If anyone wants to ruin my reputation, I will deduct his wages."
