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 customers don’t believe it, then they can only go to the scale.
As a result, it weighed exactly ten kilograms. One tael is not too much, but one tael is too much.
The thin-faced fellow Taoist was dumbfounded, as were the two or three other monks standing in front of the stall selecting.
this...
...amazing.
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.
I thought to myself, 'You guys are too new to the world, right? '
They completely forgot that they had the same expression when they first saw Chen Ping's sword skills.
"Give me twenty kilograms. If you can do it no more and no less, I will give you... one tael of silver more." A middle-aged female monk did not believe in evil.
Fine.
One tael of silver...is also money.
Fly meat is also meat.
There are only three transaction currencies in Lianyuncheng:
Spiritual stones, gold, silver.
Gold and silver are not very valuable and can only be used to buy some bedding and other daily necessities. Ordinary animal meat, ordinary fruits and vegetables can also be purchased.
But when it comes to high-end goods produced by monks, such as talismans, magic weapons, even spiritual rice and first-level and above monster meat that are indispensable for practitioners, they are only traded with spiritual stones.
The ratio of gold and silver to spiritual stones is not stable.
But most of the time dozens or even hundreds of taels of gold may not necessarily be exchanged for a low-grade spiritual stone.
Silver is even cheaper.
Chen Ping followed the same method, still cutting a piece of meat for each person, weighing twenty kilograms each, no more, no less.
Now everyone was convinced.
More and more people are buying meat.
Good knife skills mean good meat... This is Aiwujiwuhe's subtle marketing strategy.
"If you want to buy it quickly, just order it and call it a day when it's sold out." Chen Ping accelerated his hunger marketing. If he sells out early, he can still get his liver experience back.
"..."
In the following time, Chen Ping only showed slightly better knife skills than the meat seller.
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.
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 wear a mask.
Now, everyone knows that he is a wage earner, and at most he is good at cutting meat.
Don’t worry about being targeted by people seeking money.
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.
There is a way to sell meat.
That's the truth.
When the stall was about to close, a middle-aged monk came over:
"Senior He, I'll get the skin."
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 quality skins. They weigh 63 kilograms. Do you want to be weighed?"
"Look at what you said, still can't believe you?" The middle-aged monk chuckled.
After delivering the goods, I paid and left in a hurry.
Chen Ping was thoughtful and asked:
"Senior He, what can the fellow Taoist do with buying these raw hides just now?"
He Xianxiang said while packing his things:
"These raw hides are very useful. They can be used to make furniture, soft armor, skin bags, etc."
"But the monk just now didn't buy the skin to make these things."
"He uses it to make talisman skins."
Talisman skin?
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.
Then he recalled it, and he had some reserves of this knowledge.
The base material of the talisman 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.
These high-end talismans must use animal skin as the base material.
yes.
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.
Making talisman skins does not require the support of spiritual power above three levels of Qi training.
"Is this making money?" Chen Ping asked directly.
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. Affects the power of the talisman. So although many people have learned leatherworking, few have succeeded."
Disaster?
It’s difficult, there are few competitors.
Isn't this exactly what it was made for?
Moreover, learning leather-making is a skill with long-term benefits. In the future, after practicing Qi for three levels and learning to draw talismans, you will also be able to use the leather you made.
One effort, long-term benefits.
Worth the investment.
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."
He Xianxiang, who was walking side by side with Chen Ping, hesitated:
"You want to learn how to make talisman?"
Chen Ping didn't hide it: "I want to try it."
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.
At his age, his level cannot be improved, and his lifespan is limited. Thinking about these, he no longer has the intention to study.
Lack of energy and motivation.
"Have you thought about it?" He Xianxiang smiled.
"I want to try it." Chen Ping still said the same thing.
It’s not actually a try.
But it is inevitable.
Making talismans was more reliable than the other ways to make 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.
It is completely in line with his central idea of developing secretly.
"In that case, let's try it." He Xianxiang added:
"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 to Qi Jianglun in the north of the city to learn."
"However, Qi Jianglun is a snobbish person who likes to hide his clumsiness. Many people go to him to study three or four times but fail to learn, and a lot of money is wasted."
"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."
"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."
"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."
He Xianxiang introduced a lot in one breath.
Chen Ping listened quietly.
I wrote down all this silently.
At the same time, I asked He Xianxiang for Qi Jianglun's address and thought about taking some time to check it out.
