Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 16 0016 Selling Bears (Revised)

Regarding his uncle's instructions, Cheng Zongyang knew that he had some acquaintances and friends, and combined with his own guesses, he took the opportunity to ask:
"Uncle, have you heard any rumors?"

Cheng Guangshan said in a deep voice:

"Nothing specific, but we need to be vigilant about the changes of those profiteers. They raise the price of grain day by day, and you can guess their purpose. Besides..."

Having said this, he looked around the shop and saw the person who got the medicine had left the clinic before he lowered his voice and said:

"I was taken to the Li family's house for treatment last night. I overheard some people talking about grain. It seems that the official grain transported to the county was robbed by bandits a while ago, and many officials died. This matter has not yet spread to the county. Therefore, those grain merchants who knew about it began to raise the price."

At this moment, Cheng Zongyang was stunned and understood what his second uncle meant.

He knew very well what it meant that the food that maintained the stability of the county was gone. It also meant that the county would not be peaceful. He asked with concern:

"I know what to do. Uncle, is there anything wrong with your end?"

Cheng Guangshan was very happy with his nephew's intelligence. He understood it immediately and nodded with a smile:
"It's no problem. We still have some savings at home."

Cheng Zongyang said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away. Also, if the county town is unsafe, return to the village as soon as possible. It's still safe there."

Cheng Guangshan patted Cheng Zongyang on the shoulder and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry. If even the county town is not safe, then it will be a real mess. At that time, the village will probably be even more difficult. We may have to go to the prefecture."

Cheng Zongyang did not say any more, but just explained:

"Okay, I'll deliver it tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Cheng Guangshan reminded.

After Cheng Zongyang left the clinic, he looked at the twenty-six taels of silver he had left and walked towards the rice shop.

Now that we have the news, we naturally cannot wait.

The price of food changes every day, so he has to buy some every day and store it at home. Even if he doesn't store it at home, he can send it to the wilderness.

The wilderness world is equivalent to his personal space.

"Perhaps in the future, I should build houses, farmland, fences, etc. directly in the wilderness. Even if it gets really chaotic and there is no source of trade, I can still get food from the wilderness."

Thinking of this, Cheng Zongyang's mind's positioning of the wilderness world is not just limited to hunting. It can also be used as a backup for his own development.

Arriving at a seed store, Cheng Zongyang used his spare copper coins to buy a lot of vegetable and fruit seeds. The rest was to be used to buy rice, flour and other food.

Money is scarce now, and compared with white rice, aged rice is more cost-effective. Aged rice is only one or two years old, so there is nothing wrong with it.

As long as it doesn't get moldy or smelly, he can bear it. When he has more money later, he can eat white rice again.

A pound of old rice costs fifty-five cents, and a pound of white rice costs eighty cents.

Cheng Zongyang bought 300 catties of old rice and 100 catties of white rice in batches, spending 24 taels and 5 cents. He put the rice bags into the market hut in an unmanned corner of the county.

Next, Cheng Zongyang left from the east gate and entered a forest. When he came out, he was dragging a terrifying brown bear.

This time, his actions attracted the attention and onlookers of many passers-by.

A big bear, who wouldn’t be shocked when seeing it?
"Little brother, did you kill this bear?" A passerby couldn't help but come over and ask.

Cheng Zongyang ignored him and just dragged the brown bear towards the east gate with a little effort.

When passersby saw that Cheng Zongyang was not tall but had taut muscles and carried a bow and arrow and a hatchet on his back, they felt that they had asked a stupid question.

Dressed like this, and possessing the strength to drag a giant bear, is something that not everyone can do.

The only answer is that this young man is a warrior!
Thinking of this, the person who asked the question stopped talking and took a few steps back, fearing that he would get into trouble.

Warriors should not be provoked.

Some people also noticed this situation and were amazed at the size of the bear and shocked at the strength of the warriors!

No one thought that this young man was an ordinary person. Even if an ordinary person could kill a bear with an external trap, he couldn't drag this big bear!

Even if two men came, they might not be as relaxed as this young man.

The guard at the door saw this and didn't want to cause any trouble. How could someone who could kill a bear be easy to mess with?
You're not that blind!
Therefore, although Cheng Zongyang's actions caused many people to be amazed and watch, no one came forward to provoke him.

"Brother, do you still have the gall of this bear?"

In the county town, someone saw the wound on the bear and walked up to ask. "Sold it." Cheng Zongyang just responded and continued to drag the stretcher to Tianxianglou.

"What a pity." The man lamented. As for bear meat, he was not interested.

They came all the way to the back door of Tianxiang Tower, and many onlookers followed.

Zheng Yan heard the noise in the backyard and came to the back door. When he saw Cheng Zongyang really dragging a bear, he was shocked.

This bear is not small.

"Xiao Cheng, what's this bear?" Zheng Yan looked at Cheng Zongyang in confusion.

Cheng Zongyang wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a breath, and then said:
"Manager Zheng, I won't hide it from you. These days, the village is not as good as the county town. Hunters from some nearby villages formed a group and went into the inner mountains. They suffered many casualties before they killed the bear.

You can see that the bear paws and gallbladders have been bought. Only the bear meat is left. Because I am familiar with you, they found me and asked me to sell it. I will take 10% of the money. I can also go into the mountains with them in the future. Manager Zheng, can you raise the price a little bit? "

Looking at Cheng Zongyang's sincere expression, Zheng Yan did not doubt it.

He was still aware of the dangers of Tianduan Mountain. He could also understand why the hunters went into the inner mountain in groups. But he still smiled and said:

"Xiao Cheng, if Tianxianglou belongs to me personally, then it's certainly feasible. But business is business, and I have to make money for Tianxianglou. This bear has lost all its valuable items, so I can't raise the price."

Cheng Zongyang cursed the smiling tiger in his heart, and said helplessly: "Manager Zheng, this price can be as you said, but I have a request, I wonder if you can listen to it?"

"Speak." Zheng Yan said in a deep voice.
"I hope that Manager Zheng can do me a favor in the future. Of course, this favor should not be difficult or excessive for you. If you agree, I will give you this bear and its skin today."

"Hahaha, you are really smart, I didn't misjudge you. Okay, I agree. But I still have to pay the money." Zheng Yan agreed.

He also knew that the price the boy agreed to give him also included the bear skin, so it could be said that the bear was sold to him at a low price. But Cheng Zongyang made this request, which was to exchange a low price for the bear.

"Then let's weigh it."

"Let me do it." Zheng Yan said, coming to the brown bear.

Suddenly, he stretched out his right hand, grabbed the brown bear's belly flesh, and then lifted it up in front of Cheng Zongyang.

Suddenly, the brown bear was lifted about half a meter off the ground.

"it is good!!"

"Manager Zheng is so brave!!"

"Wow, so impressive! Is this the strength of an eighth-rank warrior? He actually lifted a huge bear with one hand!"

"It is said that Manager Zheng is strong enough to lift a tripod. His reputation is well-deserved!"

"..."

Many onlookers around were amazed. They were all shocked by Zheng Yan's move.

Cheng Zongyang is no exception.

Over the years, he had only heard that Zheng Yan was an eighth-rank warrior, but had never seen him take action. He always smiled at everyone.

It's just that he had accidentally seen Zheng Yan in action once, and he knew he was a ruthless and smiling tiger, but he just pretended to be ignorant.

But today, I was really shocked to see him lift a brown bear weighing more than 700 kilograms with one hand.

"Is this the power of a warrior?" Cheng Zongyang murmured in his heart.

Before obtaining the Wilderness World, he had no intention of practicing martial arts.

But it's different now.

With the resources of the wilderness world, as long as he has money, he can get in touch with martial arts.

With martial arts and his strength, hunting wild beasts in the wilderness will be a piece of cake!

"It weighs about 750 kilograms." Zheng Yan put down the brown bear and looked at Cheng Zongyang calmly.

"Okay, then I'll follow the manager's instructions." Cheng Zongyang agreed. He didn't care about the specific weight, and it didn't make sense.
