Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 24 0024 With huge money, large purchase
South of the city, Wang’s Martial Arts School.

"Please tell Master Wang that Cheng Guangshan from Chen's Clinic has come to visit us, and the things he needs have been delivered..."

East of the city, Li’s house.

"Butler Li, last time the young master went out to look for the medicinal herbs Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonatum sibiricum for body building. Today he has some and I sent them here specially..."

East of the city, Zhang Mansion.

"Master Zhang, today I got a top-quality bear gall, which is the medicinal material you need, so I specially sent it to you..."

North of the city…

Cheng Guangshan took Cheng Zongyang all the way from the south of the city to the east, and then to the north.

By the time we got back to the clinic, it was already 3 p.m.

Of course, although it is troublesome and hard, the rewards are also great!

The black panther was sold for fifty-five taels.

30 liang of Polygonum multiflorum;

Lingzhi and Huangjing sold for 150 taels;

A man sold Gastrodia elata for five hundred taels.

The bear gall was sold for two hundred and twenty taels.

Total: Nine hundred and fifty-five taels of silver!
This number made Cheng Zongyang extremely excited.

For ordinary people, the demand for meat is not as great as that for rice, especially ordinary meat. For them, grain is better for filling their stomachs.

Although the price of ordinary meat is high, ordinary people can still afford it if they grit their teeth. But some meat is different.

Especially the meat of wild beasts which has a certain nourishing effect on warriors.

This black panther weighed about 200 jin and was sold for 55 liang, equivalent to 270 wen per jin.

It can be seen that only family forces or warriors can afford good things.

His income from hunting in the past few years was only a hundred or so taels. But after a few years, especially in the past two years, the expenses were high and there was not much left at home.

Now, the harvest in the wilderness world in two days is close to a thousand taels. It seems unreal to think about it.

Similarly, Cheng Zongyang knew that there was no comparison. After all, the resources outside the mountains were constantly decreasing and there were not many opportunities to make money.

He was glad that he did not sell the bear bile to Zheng Yan.

However, he still needed Zheng Yan's path, and he couldn't cut off a path that might be useful in the future just because of this little benefit. He might even have to ask the other party for help at his own expense in the future.

In the clinic, Cheng Zongyang handed one hundred taels of silver to his second uncle and said:
"Uncle, this is what we agreed to yesterday. Your 10%. The extra money is for the medicine. I wonder if it's enough?"

Cheng Guangshan did not refuse. Since it had been discussed in advance, there was no reason to refuse.

With this money, his family can store more food.

"Enough, enough. Yang'er, are these medicines for medicinal baths?" Cheng Chen took the tied medicine bag over.

Many of the medicinal materials in it are relatively expensive. As a doctor, Cheng Chen understands the medicinal properties and effects of these medicines very well.

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly and said without hiding anything: "There is an old man who knows martial arts. I plan to learn from him. This way I can have force to protect my family."

Cheng Guangshan said admiringly: "You have great ambition! You can use this money to learn martial arts. With your qualifications, you may be able to do it."

As he said this, he was about to give the banknote in his hand to Cheng Zongyang. His nephew was born with supernatural powers, so he should be a good material for learning martial arts.

If there is a warrior at home, both the confidence and safety will be greatly improved.

But he was rejected by Cheng Zongyang. He only heard him say:

"Uncle, don't worry, I have money. I don't have much time, so I'll leave first."

Seeing his nephew's determination, Cheng Guangshan said without saying anything more. He nodded and said, "Okay! I'll prepare more of these herbs in the future. Come and get them if you need them. If you need money, tell your uncle at any time." "Okay."

Cheng Zongyang agreed and left through the back door of the clinic dragging the empty wooden frame.

With a huge amount of money, Cheng Zongyang didn't waste any time and went to the rice shop immediately.

As a result, when he saw the prices posted in the rice shop, his face darkened.

[White rice 90 wen, old rice 65 wen, white flour 60 wen, corn flour 40 wen, sorghum flour 30 wen, wheat bran 10 wen…]

"Today's price has increased by ten cents compared to yesterday!"

Cheng Zongyang sighed inwardly. It was just as he expected. There was nothing he could do but accept it!

So he bought two hundred kilograms of white rice, two hundred kilograms of old rice, one hundred kilograms of white flour, one hundred kilograms of corn flour, and one hundred kilograms of sorghum flour.

The shopkeeper looked at the quantity for a long time and only sold it to Cheng Zongyang after making sure that it was not from a competitor.

After paying forty-four taels of silver, Cheng Zongyang tied up the grain bags, inserted leaves as a cover, and dragged the wooden frame away with a little effort.

On the road, many people looked at Cheng Zongyang's situation with a bit of a frown, but no one dared to rob him. In the county, as long as there was no chaos, no one dared to cause trouble.

Cheng Zongyang quickly came to the back door of a wealthy family, and when he saw no one appeared, he put all the food into the wilderness world. Then he slowly left the alley dragging the empty wooden frame.

In this way, even if someone is watching, they will only think that the items were purchased by a wealthy family.

He used this method to buy rice three more times from other rice shops that were still selling rice. Then he bought 50 kilograms of brown sugar. The price of brown sugar did not increase again.

Later, I bought 100 kilograms of peanut oil, 20 kilograms of soy sauce, 30 kilograms of salt, and 30 kilograms of vinegar.

A total of 167 taels of silver were spent on these several times.

But his food reserves increased a lot.

With the large amount of food purchased in the past two days, his family will not have to worry about having nothing to eat for the next year. They can even eat as much as they want.

If time was not enough, he would have to spend all the money.

Next, Cheng Zongyang hurried to the blacksmith shop and spent more than thirty taels of silver to buy a lot of tools for farming and household use.

Such as axes, shovels, hatchets, hoes, hammers, iron nails and iron buckets, large and small iron pots, hemp ropes, etc.

Behind him was a shop that specialized in selling pottery jars. He bought several jars of different sizes for holding water and other things, and then some wooden barrels. This kind of purchase cost him another thirteen taels of silver.

Before closing the city gates, he dragged an empty stretcher and left with some water and dry food.

After all the shopping, minus the money from selling the goods, there were still five hundred and ninety-seven taels.

He saved the money first, and next time he went to the county town, he would continue to buy oil, salt and other supplies in batches that were difficult to obtain in the mountains.

He hurried along the way and met many refugees heading to the county town.

The evening breeze became cool, but it could not blow into the hearts of the refugees, nor could it blow away the numbness on their faces. What supported them was a breath of hope. It seemed that if they reached the county town, they would be saved.

"Little brother, is there any water?"

A woman staggered over with a child with closed eyes in her arms. Her voice was hoarse and dry.

His clothes were tattered, his hair was dry, messy and tangled, his lips were chapped, and his face had high cheekbones and sunken eye sockets.

If she hadn't spoken, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a walking corpse.

The woman was not afraid of the arm-length hatchet in Cheng Zongyang's hand. She continued to ask in a pleading tone: "My child, I haven't had any water for a long time. Please..."

Having said that, the woman knelt down directly, and this kneeling seemed to have drained away the courage that she had held on to, and she knelt on the ground powerlessly.

　Asking for votes...
