For example, you can set up a delicatessen shop or something.
Opening a restaurant requires a lot of capital, but setting up a delicatessen shop costs much less.
In addition to the tuition fees for martial arts training, his biggest monthly expenses are secret medicine and eating meat.
To eat meat, he can go hunting in the mountains.
Qingshui County not only has big rivers, but also has steep mountains. All kinds of wild animals live in the mountains. A wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms can feed him for ten days and a half.
However, if you want to go hunting in the mountains, you must make various preparations.
Hunting is more dangerous than fishing, and there are more places to pay attention to. In addition to large beasts, there are also venomous insects and snakes. A bite can be life-threatening.
"First buy a few books on hunting skills, brush up on hunting skills, and then practice archery to increase your proficiency in archery."
Chen Xuan had a preliminary plan in mind.
"By the way, the secret medicine is refined by a pharmacist. Maybe I can read a few more medical books to familiarize myself with the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, so as to develop my medical skills and refine the secret medicine myself. That will definitely be better than
It costs less to buy the secret medicine from the martial arts studio."
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.
Although it is not possible to refine the secret medicine, at least this is a direction.
After dinner, Chen Xuan went to a bookstore in Xinglongfang.
"What kind of books does this young master need?"
The owner of the bookstore is an old man in his fifties with gray hair.
"I also want books on hunting, as well as medicine books."
After looking at the rows of books on the bookshelves in the bookstore, Chen Xuan said.
"Sir, wait a moment."
The gray-haired old man immediately went to the bookshelf to find the books Chen Xuan wanted.
After a while, five more books appeared in front of Chen Xuan.
"The Essentials of Hunting, Volume 1", "The Essentials of Hunting, Volume 2", "Baicao Jing", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Properties of Medicine and One Hundred Flavors".
"How much do I want for these five books?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"Five books, "The Essentials of Hunting Volume 1" with 34 articles, "The Essentials of Hunting Volume 2" with 63 articles, "Baicao Jing" with 87 articles, "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" with 90 articles, "Properties of Medicine and Hundred Flavors"
"Seventy-three articles."
The bookstore owner took out an abacus and plucked it with his fingers, making a crackling sound.
"A total of three hundred and forty-seven articles."
The sound of the abacus stopped, and the bookstore owner spoke.
"Three hundred and forty-seven articles."
Chen Xuan nodded and took out three copper coins and forty-seven copper coins.
Taking the five wrapped books, Chen Xuan returned to Changningfang.
When I passed by a weapons shop, I bought a bow and a tube of feather arrows.
"The Essential Hunting Techniques Volume 1!"
When he returned home, Chen Xuan took out a book and read it.
This "Hunting Essentials Volume 1" is a set of hunting methods summarized by hunters. It includes various hunting techniques, experiences, different methods of dealing with different prey, and even how to lay traps.
knowledge.
Chen Xuan was very focused and read the first volume of the Essential Hunting Techniques word by word.
Hunting 1
Just when Chen Xuan closed the first volume of hunting skills, a text prompt floated in front of his eyes.
Chen Xuan——
Fish Killing Knife Technique: 6712/10000/Level 2.
Fishing: 260/10000/Level 2.
Swimming: 2121/5000/Level 1.
Cooking skill: 4278/5000/level one.
Writing: 124/5000/Level 1.
Round pile: 200/10000/second level.
Giant Bear Skill: 384/10000/Level 2.
Hunting skill: 1/1000/zero level.
Opening the proficiency panel, Chen Xuan saw that there was indeed a new 'Hunting Skill' skill on it.
"The next step is to improve your hunting proficiency."
Chen Xuan turned to the first page of the book on hunting essentials and read it again.
Hunting 1
After reading it again, my proficiency in hunting skills has increased by '1' point.
Chen Xuan put down "The Essentials of Hunting, Volume 1" and picked up "The Essentials of Hunting, Volume 2" and started reading.
The first volume of "The Essentials of Hunting" records hunting methods and various hunting techniques, while the second volume of "The Essentials of Hunting" contains images of different animals, as well as records of the animals' living habits, frequented places, etc.
Natural enemies, etc.
It's just that the painting skills are average, and the animal images are basically outlines drawn with lines.
But think about it.
A copy of "The Essentials of Hunting, Volume 2" costs only sixty-three cents. It is impossible to draw every animal lifelike and lifelike, which would take a lot of time.
There is no printing technology in this world, and all books are copied manually.
When he first came here, Chen Xuan also knew that the wages for copying scriptures were not high.
For example, a book like "The Art of Hunting, Volume 1" costs only a few pennies to copy.
At the end of the day, I can earn up to dozens of pennies.
For books with paintings such as "The Art of Hunting, Volume 2," the wages are higher, but the wages are only a dozen or so.
If you have the painting skills to make each animal lifelike and lifelike, you can sell the paintings individually, but if you want the paintings to sell for a good price, you have to rely on your reputation.
This is the same as poetry.
If one has fame, the painting will naturally be more valuable.
Without fame or fame, no matter how good the painting is, a few hundred yuan for a painting is still considered a high price.
Hunting 1
After reading "The Essentials of Hunting, Volume 2", my hunting proficiency has also improved by '1' point.
Then, Chen Xuan read the three books "Baicao Jing", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" and "Hundred Flavors of Medicinal Properties", and successfully mastered the two skills of 'medical skills' and 'medicine skills'.
Medical skill: 1/1000/zero level.
Medicine: 1/1000/zero level.
As the two skills 'Medical Skills' and 'Medicine Skills' appeared on the proficiency panel, Chen Xuan also knew the difference between the two.
Medical skills mainly focus on the knowledge of treating human diseases and how to use medicines, while medicinal skills focus on drugs, mainly mastering the pharmacology of medicinal materials, how to grow medicinal materials, and the combined use of various medicinal materials.
If you want to refine the secret medicine, you must improve your medicine proficiency.
The following days.
In addition to going to the martial arts hall for skin grinding training every day, Chen Xuan is familiar with the essential hunting techniques, as well as medical books recording medicinal materials, constantly improving his proficiency in hunting techniques, medical techniques and medicinal techniques.
Of course, there is also the cooking proficiency.
When he has free time, he will visit various streets in Xinglongfang, especially some cooked food shops, to taste the taste of these cooked food shops and understand the market.
The delicatessen shop must be opened as soon as possible.
He has been unable to get out, and soon he may not even be able to afford the money to rent a shop.
Chen Xuan also did not neglect the practice of archery.
When he first started practicing, he hired a master hunter to teach him archery for a long time.
Chen Xuan doesn't expect to learn any good archery. For him at this stage, practicing basic archery is enough.
Chen Xuan has a foundation in martial arts, so he quickly mastered some archery stances and key points. As for accuracy, he had to practice it over and over again.
Chen Xuan set a target in his courtyard and practiced his archery accuracy against it.
Every time you shoot an arrow, your archery proficiency will increase by '1' point.
