Chapter 5 New ways to make a living

Chen Ping has been selling meat all morning.

It was a blast to sell.

"Fellow Taoist, how do you sell this meat?"

"These are first-level monster meat. One low-grade spirit stone costs ten kilograms. They are not sold at retail. These are ordinary beast meats. You can get one kilogram for 10 silver and can be sold at retail."

"Okay, give me ten pounds of monster meat."

Chen Ping raised his knife and cut it out without pausing. He handed it to the thin-faced Taoist friend who was buying meat in front of the butcher shop:

"Here, ten pounds, one tael no more and no more than one tael less."

Hearing this, the thin-faced fellow Taoist was stunned for a moment and did not pick up the meat: "You..., you didn't even weigh it, how did you know it was exactly ten pounds?"

Chen Ping smiled and said:

"My eyes are rulers."

Face-slimming fellow Taoist:???

If the customer doesn't believe it, then the only option is to go to the scale.

The thin-faced Taoist monk was dumbfounded, and the other two or three monks standing in front of the booth who were choosing were also dumbfounded.

After delivering the goods, I paid and left in a hurry.

He Xianxiang, who was walking side by side with Chen Ping, hesitated:

"You want to learn how to make talisman?"

Worth the investment.

The ratio of gold and silver to spiritual stones is not stable.

Why didn't I think of that?

You can't draw talismans below the third level of Qi training, but you can make talisman skins.

"But when it comes to leather-making alone, Qi Jianglun's skills are really amazing. Not to mention the best in Lianyung City, he is at least the best."

As a result, it weighed exactly ten kilograms, one tael is not too much, and one tael is too much.

One effort, long-term benefits.

Chen Ping didn't hide it: "I want to try it."

"If you want to learn, just pay the tuition once and experience it. If you have the talent, you can go back to study. If you don't have the talent, you'd better stop in time. Qi Jianglun's place is a bottomless pit."

The base material of talismans can be paper or leather. The base material of low-end talismans is usually paper, but for high-end talismans, paper can no longer withstand the spiritual power and the laws of heaven contained therein.

They completely forgot that they had the same expression when they first saw Chen Ping's sword skills.

He Xianxiang had obviously prepared it in advance. He handed a bundle of packed animal skins to the middle-aged monk: "They are all here. They are all good skins. They weigh 63 pounds. Do you want to be weighed?"

In the following time, Chen Ping only showed slightly better knife skills than the meat seller.

Lack of energy and motivation.

Isn't this just made for me?

Moreover, learning leather-making is a skill with long-term benefits. In the future, after practicing Qi for three levels, you will also be able to use the leather you made when you learn to draw talismans.

He Xianxiang said while packing his things:

It's not actually a try.

As for He Xianxiang, he has been selling meat here for many years, so he probably has some connections, otherwise he would not be able to persist until now, and he would have been targeted long ago.

Gold and silver are not very valuable and can only be used to buy some bedding and other daily necessities. You can also buy ordinary animal meat and ordinary fruits and vegetables.

Silver is even cheaper.

Chen Ping was thoughtful and asked:

"Senior He, what can the fellow Taoist do with buying these raw hides just now?"

"Is this profitable?" Chen Ping asked directly.

"However, Qi Jianglun is a snobbish person who likes to hide his clumsiness. Many people go to him to study three or four times and fail to learn, thus wasting a lot of money."

"Have you thought about it?" He Xianxiang smiled.

this.

amazing.

Then he recalled it, and he had some reserves of this knowledge.

Chen Ping followed the same method, still cutting a piece of meat for each person, weighing twenty kilograms each, no more, no less.

How can I say that there is a way to sell meat?

"But that monk just didn't buy skins to make these things."

"..."

"Give me twenty kilograms. If you can do it no more, no more, no less, I will give you an extra tael of silver." A middle-aged female monk did not believe in evil.

Even so, the original sales volume of two people in one day was still sold out in half a day, leaving not a single piece left.

Don’t worry about being targeted by people seeking money.

"In that case, let's try it." He Xianxiang added:

Good knife skills mean good meat... This is Aiwujiwuhe's subtle marketing strategy.

It is completely in line with his central idea of ​​developing in secret.

Fine.

Making talisman skins does not require the support of more than three levels of Qi training.

But most of the time dozens or even hundreds of taels of gold may not necessarily be exchanged for a low-grade spiritual stone.

These high-end talismans must use animal skin as the base material.

Fly meat is also meat.

"But those who are better than him are not willing to teach outsiders, and the remaining ones who are willing to teach are not as good as him."

Chen Ping thought to himself that it was lucky that he did not hunt the beasts and sell them, otherwise how could he dare to buy them so smoothly? At least he would have to wear a mask.

When the stall was about to close, a middle-aged monk came over:

"Senior He, I'll get the skin."

He Xianxiang originally wanted to persuade him, saying that this was too difficult, but after thinking that it would be good for young people to have some ideas to show his progress, he stopped trying.

One tael of silver is also money.

"Look at what you said, still can't believe you?" The middle-aged monk chuckled.

More and more people are buying meat.

On the contrary, He Xianxiang and several nearby cargo owners who sold other goods had seen Chen Ping's magic and looked at the stunned meat-buying monks with smiles in their eyes.

"He uses it to make talisman skins."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.

That's the truth.

Disaster?

It’s difficult, there are few competitors.

He Xianxiang said with envy in his tone:

"It's more profitable than me selling animal meat. But it's difficult. It requires a lot of skills. If you don't have some skills, you can't make the talisman skin properly, and if you don't grasp the slightest amount of force, it will greatly increase the failure rate of drawing the talisman, and even

Affects the power of the talisman. So although many people have learned leathermaking, few have succeeded."

Making talismans was more reliable than the other ways of making money that he had thought of before. There was no need to go out and take risks, he only needed to stay at home and make talisman skins.

Chen Ping was not tactful and asked directly:

"Senior He, can you introduce me to the monk just now? I want to learn how to make talisman skins from him. I can pay for it."

"These raw hides are very useful. They can be used to make furniture, soft armor, skin bags, etc."

I thought to myself, ‘You guys are so inexperienced, right?’

"I want to try it." Chen Ping still said the same thing.

Talisman skin?

At his age, he can't improve his level, and his lifespan is limited. Thinking about these things, he no longer has the intention to study.

Now everyone was convinced.

"But you don't need to learn from the monk just now. That monk is half-full and can't teach you. If you really want to learn, go and learn from Qi Jianglun in the north of the city."
To be continued...
