Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

As soon as Chai Feng left the teahouse, his subordinates immediately brought the horses.

"Tomorrow is the last day of the autumn hunt. Remember to invite him to the hunting grounds. I want to see how good Chen Erlang's archery skills are."

The subordinate flattered, "Of course, I can't compare to your archery skills, Master Chai. If you weren't so low-key, Chen Changfan wouldn't be the first tiger-killing hero in Qingshan County."

Chai Feng did not comment on his subordinates' compliments.

When he was young, he was obsessed with riding and shooting, and he once hunted a tiger.

But he didn't publicize it.

"This Chen Erlang might be able to take first place. After all, he always surprises me."

……

drug store.

"Sir, have you picked any lantern grass?" Shopkeeper Tong looked at Chen Changfan with a smile, his eyes filled with expectation.

Seeing Chen Changfan slowly shaking his head, Shopkeeper Tong couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"If it were an ordinary medicinal herb, I'm afraid it wouldn't fetch much."

When he saw Chen Changfan carrying a basket full of herbs, he thought they were some cheap medicinal materials, so he said something ugly in advance.

But when Chen Changfan poured all the herbs on the table, Shopkeeper Tong stared with his eyes wide open.

"These are... wild ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and even purple Ganoderma lucidum?"

Shopkeeper Tong couldn't help but raise his voice a few notches, especially when he saw the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum, his eyes trembled violently.

"A human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum? Such a huge one! I've never seen anything like this in my life. Could this herb have become a spirit?"

Shopkeeper Tong exclaimed in amazement, his eyes fixed on the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum that looked like a child, unable to take his eyes off it.

"Shopkeeper Tong, please give me a price. We're old acquaintances, so let's just talk about the real price!"

Chen Changfan reminded at the right time.

"Okay, okay. Your Excellency has provided me with top-quality medicinal herbs. I naturally cannot let you down."

Shopkeeper Tong took out the abacus and fiddled with it while reciting confidently:

"This wild ginseng is not very old, so it's worth twelve taels of silver. The purple Ganoderma lucidum is in good condition, so it's worth fifty taels. Astragalus and Salvia miltiorrhiza..."

"All these herbs together will be worth 95 taels. As for this human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum..."

Shopkeeper Tong thought for a long time this time, and finally gave a price, "How about 260 taels?"

"All these herbs together are worth 355 taels. Hey, don't take them yet... The price is negotiable, it's negotiable..."

Seeing Chen Changfan packing up his things after a disagreement, Shopkeeper Tong quickly changed his tone and said:

"360? 370? How much do you want?"

Chen Changfan chuckled, "400 taels, not a single copper less!"

Shopkeeper Tong looked embarrassed. "Your price is too high. I... I can't make the decision."

"Then let those of you who are in charge come over and say something. I have a human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum anyway, and people will be vying for it no matter which pharmacy I put it in."

What Chen Changfan said was true. If it were ordinary medicinal herbs, most drug stores would not bother to buy them. But the more precious and high-end medicinal herbs were, the more they would be in short supply. Otherwise, he would not have kept his eyes on the small green dragon, lantern grass, and human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum.

Shopkeeper Tong hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "It's unlikely you'll be able to meet my boss, but I can ask for instructions. If I can get them, I'll do the deal at your price. Please wait here for me, okay?"

Hearing the other party's tone soften, Chen Changfan also stopped his actions. If he could really sell it for 400 taels, this price would be a very good price.

The reward for killing the tiger is 500 taels of silver, and the tiger bones were sold for more than 100 taels. If these medicinal herbs can be sold for 400 taels, then the taels of silver owed to Chai Feng will be paid off.

As for the fact that Shopkeeper Tong said he needed to ask the boss for instructions, Chen Changfan was a little curious.

He knew that this pharmacy had some connection with some warriors, but he didn't know whether this pharmacy was related to the forces behind the warriors.

He guessed that this force was probably not small. After all, the business of this medicine shop required a lot of financial resources to support it. Since he could come up with 500 taels of silver at once, he was not an ordinary warrior force.

Although Chen Changfan was curious, he would not ask about other people's backgrounds. He just wanted to get the money and didn't ask about anything else.

After half a cup of tea, Chen Changfan saw the shopkeeper Tong coming out with a smile and a few more banknotes in his hand, so he knew that the deal was done.

"Captain Chen, here are four hundred taels of silver. Please keep them. Our boss said that if you have any goodies in the future, just send them directly to our pharmacy and the price will be negotiable."

Chen Changfan took the banknote and raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you know my last name is Chen?"

I still remember that when Manager Tong asked me my name before, he always called me Wu Laoliu, but today he actually called me Captain Chen directly.

"Captain Chen is the tiger-fighting hero of Qingshan County. Forgive my poor eyesight and my inability to recognize you right away."

Shopkeeper Tong's smile was much warmer than before.

It was obvious that the boss behind him said something to him.

Chen Changfan is a celebrity now after all, so it is not uncommon for him to be recognized by others.

He bowed to Shopkeeper Tong and said, "Thank your boss for me. I'll come again when you have good stuff."

After buying tiger bones last time, he found that Manager Tong's medicine shop had the most abundant financial resources, and there would be more cooperation in the future.

Establishing good relationships in advance will make things easier later.

Debt free.

After leaving the pharmacy, Chen Changfan was in a good mood.

Only one day had passed and he had already collected one thousand taels of silver. This speed of making money can be described as exaggerated.

This does not include the income from the market business.

The market should have sold some tiger meat today, maybe we could earn a dozen or so taels of silver?

Although the tiger was poisoned, the poison was not serious. He could remove the poisonous meat and sell it, so there would be no hidden danger.

Of course, this would inevitably result in some loss of money, but he was unwilling to make that kind of dirty money.

After a stroll around the market, Old Wei and Aunt Liu handed over their income for the day.

The fish stall earned 22 taels of silver, and the noodle stall earned more than 8 taels of silver.

All the profits from Old Man Liu's branch in the village were handed over by Aunt Liu the next day.

A daily income of 30 taels of silver would be an enviable business in the eyes of others, but now in Chen Changfan's eyes, it was nothing. He paid the two men their wages and returned to the inn early.

"Erlang, why are you back so early today?" Shen Cuiyun saw her husband coming back and immediately came up to greet him happily.

The little guy in his arms cried excitedly when he saw his daddy, and stretched out his two little arms to let his daddy hold him.

Chen Changfan held his daughter in his arms with one hand and embraced his daughter's slender and soft waist with the other hand. At this moment, he felt extremely peaceful in his heart.

"My lady, I have earned enough silver to pay Master Chai back tomorrow."

Shen Cuiyun was really shocked when she heard her man say this.

One thousand taels? It's only been a day, right? My man has already collected a thousand taels of silver?

She was happy and touched, but more worried.

Especially when she saw the blood stains on Chen Changfan's clothes, Lady Jiao's almond-shaped eyes suddenly turned red.

"Erlang, you...why are you covered in so much blood?"
