The training was very hard, but after gritting his teeth and persevering for more than half a month, when Shi Jin got used to this kind of training, if he didn't practice for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

Seeing that Shi Jin was still dancing with knives and guns every day, Shi Taigong was relieved, and he was still his son Shi Jin, the nine-pattern dragon.

To Shi Jin's delight, his hard work paid off, and he could feel that his strength was improving.

But with the increase in the amount of training, Shi Jin's meal volume is also increasing exponentially.

At the noon table, Shi Jin had a bun in his left hand and a roast leg of lamb in his right hand and ate it in a big gulp.

Eating in a bit of a hurry and swallowing, Shi Jin hurriedly picked up the mutton soup and drank a few sips.

Swallowing the meat in his mouth, Shi Jin hurriedly picked up the rice in his mouth again.

Shi Taigong saw that he was busy and said, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, and!" ”

After telling Shi Jin, Shi Taigong hurriedly turned his head and shouted to the family, "Come up with another basket of steamed buns!" ”

Half an hour later, there was a pile of empty bowls on the table, and there was no scrap left of the dishes.

Shi Jin touched his stomach, he was finally full!

The housekeeper on the side looked at the empty dishes on the table, and before he had eaten lunch, he felt that his stomach was already bulging, as if he felt full when he ate it.

Wang Si was even more satisfied.

"Da Lang, won't you hold on?" Shi Taigong was afraid that Shi Jin had eaten too much, and asked worriedly.

Shi Jin said a little embarrassed when he heard it, "It's okay, it's just that I've just eaten enough." During this time, it was relatively hard to practice martial arts, and the amount of food was a bit large. Hehe......"

When Shi Taigong heard it, he nodded and said, "It's okay." It is a blessing to be able to eat, and it is a blessing to be able to eat! ”

After eating, when Shi Taigong asked the maid to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, the old servant Shi Fu came up and whispered in Shi Taigong's ear.

Shi Taigong is old, and Shi Fu's whispered words can't be heard by Shi Taigong at all.

Shi Jin intermittently heard Shi Fu saying "the amount of food is large", "the rice is not enough", and "the money is not enough!" "These.

Shi Jin's face turned a little red when he heard this.

During this time, the cost of my own food has increased, but I am afraid that the amount of food in one day will reach the ground for seven or eight days.

It is said that the poor Wen Fuwu!

For those who study literature, the main cost is to buy a few books of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Usually, even if you are wrapped in a belly, you can eat a nest a day and put it on your head. You can still have a crusting head cone on the crest, and you can dig a hole to take light and read hard.

But for those who practice martial arts, it costs a lot.

You don't have to apprentice and practice your own.

You don't have to buy weapons, you can beat the whole world with a stick.

Only food, people who practice martial arts cannot be missing.

Practicing hard every day, the body's energy is depleted quickly. If you don't make it up, how can you do it.

I don't have money to eat, I can't keep up with my nutrition, I'm hungry and dizzy all day long, and I'm a fart.

If a person who practices martial arts does not have enough protein supplementation, he will not be able to support it at all.

Just like Shi Jin's meal, seven or eight bowls of rice, five or six catties of meat, at least one or two pieces of silver.

Ordinary people can afford it.

Although Shi Taigong is the first rich man and the first landlord of Shijiazhuang, he is not a rich and noble person, and he is said to be a godbreaker, at most a hundred taels of income a month, and then deduct the family expenses on weekdays.

The landlord's family has no surplus food!

You can't drag down the whole family because of yourself.

And if you want to rebel in the future, you also need money to recruit troops and buy horses!

There has to be a way to make money and increase some income. In addition to being able to train his own martial arts, he can also train more of his subordinates to prepare for the future.

But what to do.

Shi Jin thought carefully about the suitable methods, wine, tobacco, iron, glass......

Well, Shi Jin knew that he was a third-rate college graduate, and he relied on cheating to find a gunman who got a diploma in all subjects, so he really didn't have any real skills.

He only knows the basic principles of high-tech things such as iron making and glass, but with the level of his three knives, he may point out the development and research direction of those experts, and it may also have an effect.

If you want him to do it, then forget it.

Nothing will be achieved except a waste of money and food.

Shi Jin recalled that it seemed that it was salt making and steaming wine that he had hope of success.

If you steam wine, you can waste three or four catties of grain to steam one catty of spirits, and you also need the cooperation of autumn harvest, and sales promotion also takes time.

It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not suitable for your current situation.

After thinking about it again, making salt and selling illicit salt is the most suitable for your current situation.

Salt is an indispensable necessity for people's livelihood, and people can not eat meat or sugar for a long time, but they cannot go without salt for a long time.

If the human body lacks salt, the content of sodium ions in the body will be reduced, and potassium ions will enter the blood from the cells, which is extremely detrimental to human health.

Salt is so important that the salt and iron autocracy practiced by all dynasties and dynasties has a monopoly on prices and extremely high profits.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the population decreased sharply due to wars and other reasons, and at that time, salt was sold for 60 wen per catty, and even dropped to 30 wen for a while.

But as the population grows, so does the demand for salt.

However, the total production of salt has not changed much, and the price of salt has risen accordingly.

Coupled with the layers of exploitation by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, by the time of Song Huizong, the price of salt had risen to 200 wen per catty, and even reached 400 wen per catty in some places.

The high salt and the huge profit margins have caused countless people in all dynasties to take risks to buy and sell illegal salt.

Among the heroes of Liangshan, there are many people who specialize in selling illicit salt before they go to Liangshan, just like Li Jun and others.

The production of spirits also consumes food and opens up markets. However, the production of salt basically does not require capital and upfront investment, and the money comes quickly, and there is no need to worry about sales, which is simply a profitable business.

It's decided, and it's going to be made and sold!

At dusk on the moon, the sky has not been polluted, clear and clean.

Under the bright moonlight, even if there are no street lights, you can still see the road clearly.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, Shi Jin took five family members and drove two carriages to a salt mine in Huayin County.

Hurry up and hurry, when you go to the salt mine, it happens to be Shenshi, when ordinary people are most asleep.

Seeing that there was no one around, Shi Jin hurriedly shouted, "Quick, everyone take the hammer and hammer to knock down the salt mine and transport it back." ”

Wang Si was taken aback when he heard it and said, "Young owner, you can't eat these salts, if you eat them, you will be poisoned and die!" ”

The way to get rich, Shi Jin didn't want so many people to know, so he shouted with a straight face, "Don't ask so much, you can do whatever you want, I can use these salt mines!" ”

These family members are all eaters of historians, similar to the workers of historians.

Shi Jin was angry, and these family members didn't dare to ask again. Anyway, everything that should be reminded was reminded, and the young owner ordered it like this, and they did it.

The housekeepers scattered, took up hammers and hammers, and smashed them when they picked them up. Soon chunks of salt mines of various sizes rolled down from the stone walls.

Eight people, including Shi Jin, smashed for half an hour, and the two carriages were about to fill the salt mine.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dawn, Shi Jin hurriedly called the family to set up a carriage and rushed back to Shijiazhuang.

At the end of the day, the carriage returned.

The salt mine was full of salt in the backyard, and Shi Jin asked someone to close the door.

Then he instructed the ladies to smash the salt mines into small particles with large stone mortars, and then pour the salt particles on the stone grinding discs, wave the donkeys, and turn the big rolling stones.

After a few turns, the small particles of salt turn into brown powder.

Shi Jin had someone carefully sweep the mineral powder into a wooden barrel with a broom and send it into the courtyard of his wing.

Looking at the wooden barrels in the yard, Shi Jin called all the five family members over.

"You are all people who have signed a contract with the Shi family, and you are also the old men of the Shi family. You also know what the historian is doing to you. What I have commanded you to do today is not to be spoken to the public. When asked, you should be treated as if you don't know. Did you hear that? ”

Looking at Shi Jin's stern eyes, Wang Si was the first to react and hurriedly shouted, "Got it, young owner." I didn't go anywhere tonight, so I slept until daylight! ”

The others also reacted when they heard it, and they also shouted, "Yes, yes, yes, I didn't go anywhere tonight!" ”

Shi Jin heard the corners of his mouth curl and said, "Very good, you are all smart people, and smart people can live for a long time." Everyone has worked hard, so let's go back and rest early. This month's monthly money is added to five taels! ”

When these seven family members heard that their monthly money for this month was increased by five taels, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly said: "Thank you, young owner!" ”

Shi Jin waved his hand and told them all to go down and rest.

The family went back to rest, and Shi Jin closed the door and continued to work.
