XXIII. Making a living

For people like Yang Siqi who were born in a peaceful and prosperous era, safety is the first place, after all, he is used to living a peaceful life on the earth, and he doesn't have to worry about any big dangers when he goes out, let alone any things like flying disasters, so he doesn't want to live in an area where he has to worry about it every day, and he asks himself if he is not the kind of person who is looking for excitement.

If the market is more prosperous and people have more smiles on their faces, it proves that the life of the region is not bad. On the other hand, if everyone has a good face and a sad face every day, the life in this area is very limited.

Follow a major road in the city. The city's most striking landmarks are the dozens of towering towers. I have studied magic with Yu Xiaolan for a period of time and know that this is the magician's magic tower.

The Magic Tower can only be owned by magicians of the Grand Mage level and above. On the magic tower, a large number of magic arrays are engraved, and they are equipped with a magic power delivery system, and in times of war, as long as these magic arrays are activated, a large amount of magic can be cast to attack the enemy, and the attack distance is quite long. In a sense, these magic towers are equivalent to missile bases on Earth.

The number of magic towers in a city directly reflects the city's defense and combat effectiveness. The magic tower can be used to activate magic defense to defend against enemy magic attacks in times of war, and it can also use attack magic to attack enemies, and it can also use a large area of healing magic to heal injured warriors, which can be said to be a multi-functional combination.

The Magic Tower is the equivalent of an all-powerful base. The more such all-round bases, the stronger the city's combat effectiveness. This Pegasus City has dozens of magic towers, proving that it has extremely strong combat power, and it is truly a fortress-level border city. With so many magic towers, even if the enemy uses hundreds of thousands of troops to attack, it would not be able to shake them at all without the help of those top powerhouses or a large number of magicians.

On the main road, from time to time, you can see groups of soldiers patrolling. These soldiers move in unison, the lineup is well-organized, and they are definitely elite-level fighters at a glance. Looking at the fact that these patrolling soldiers are almost innocent of everything in the market, you can see how strict the commander of the city is in governing the army, and he is still more protective of the ordinary people.

To sum up, it played a final and decisive role in Yang Siqi's decision to settle here. However, it is good to be determined to settle down, but how to make a living here is a big problem.

Beekeeping is undoubtedly one of Yang Siqi's housekeeping skills, and it is also very suitable for him, because, for the evolution of the queen bee, he basically doesn't need to care, just sit and wait for the harvest, and here are mountains on both sides, all kinds of wildflowers and wild fruit trees are innumerable, there are sufficient sources of honey, beekeeping must be a great harvest. However, he has already revealed that he can keep bees in the sheep village, and of course no one will check it now, but what about in the future? When one's wealth reaches a certain level, someone will naturally come to check one's own details, and one will blame the genius if he doesn't check himself. At that time, a human who has returned from the orc kingdom will be very easily labeled as a human traitor, and he will have bad luck.

Therefore, beekeeping is not a good way. Others, such as weaving and the like. There should be no machinery industry in this world, but there is a lot of knowledge about this in my mind, although it is impossible to design and manufacture advanced machinery, but it is not difficult to build a machine such as the Jenny spinning machine. With such an advanced machine, it is not too difficult to make a fortune.

The difficulty is that there should be no patent protection system on this alien planet, and there are a large number of nobles and other elites, you have advanced production machines, I want it, you have to give me obedient hands, if you dare to go against my will, you will wait for death.

In such an environment, even if Yang Siqi has a lot of good things in his head, he doesn't dare to take them out, and if he takes them out, he is killing himself. If you don't have the corresponding strength, but you have machines and methods that can earn huge wealth, what are you not looking for death? Therefore, anything related to advanced machines must not be taken out, unless his strength is enough to protect himself.

As a result, many of his ways to make money have been blocked, at least not at present. So, what is the way to make enough money without spending much time? That's what really gave him a headache.

Forget it, don't think about it for the time being, let's find a place to rest for a day first, these ten days have been running wildly, even if he is an iron man, he is extremely tired.

I found an inn on the street and stayed there. This inn is not very large, it can only be considered medium-level, and its price is not too expensive, two silver coins per day. He booked a room for three days, and then told the shopkeeper to take care of his horse, and then he went back to his room and fell asleep, waiting until he woke up.

This sleep was a full day, and when I woke up, it was already noon the next day. I found something to eat. That's when I have the energy to think about things. These days, he is really tired, from learning languages to learning magic, plus more than ten days in the wild, not resting well every day, and even food cannot be guaranteed, it can be said that his whole person has basically reached the limit. Now, it's time to think about how you should make a living.

It's hard to think of a good way to get out of the house, to wander the streets, to see if you can find a good way.

After more than three hours on the street, many of the cities are for military services, and there are many shops of all kinds of ordnance manufacturing, some make weapons, some make arrows, some make war armor, and there are all kinds of other things related to military services. After all, there is a shortage of women in the army, and this kind of industry that provides sexual services in disguise for the army is naturally very developed, which even the wisest commander cannot prohibit.

After turning around for a long time, Yang Siqi finally found that there was a job that was very suitable for him: the butcher. The city has a population of at least one million or more, and there are many people who consume meat every day, so renting a stall in the market to sell fresh meat is absolutely unremarkable. What's even better is that if he kills a pig, he can still get life energy, which is really a double win.

Do what you want. First of all, I asked about the procedures required to rent a stall in the market, then asked about the prices of various meats, and then asked about the sources of various pigs and cattle. It took him a whole day to get the news.

Get ready. In the east of the city, in the middle of Tianma Street, there are still empty stalls for rent, and the rent is one gold coin per month, so to speak, this is not a cheap rent. He had to pay half a year's rent first, which was six gold coins.

I bought two butcher knives from the blacksmith and one from the grocery store. This cost another eight silver coins. Then I bought a two-wheeled carriage from the lumber shop. The carriage was really expensive for the horses, not the chariots, but it cost him three gold coins, and everything was ready to stop, so it cost him a full ten gold coins, and when it came to the calculations, his fortune was only about four gold coins, and if he could not make money, he would have to beg for food.

With two gold coins, he rented a house near the Mingdong Market. This house is very spacious and has an independent yard, but the rent is not cheap, two gold coins per month, but Yang Siqi likes it to have a yard and a well, which is the best for killing pigs.

A pig bought from a livestock merchant cost him more than 230 pounds, and cost him forty silver coins, and on average, the price of each pound of meat was equivalent to seventeen copper coins, which was not cheap. Of course, this is incomparable with the price in the orc country, and the price of rice transported by humans to the orc country is as high as thirty copper coins a catty, which is obviously slaughtering the orcs as pigs.

Yang Siqi did not kill pigs with his own hands. But when I was a child, I saw a lot of pig killing, so I am no stranger to pig killing. Boil the water first, and then knock the pig unconscious with one punch (the Chinese pig killing is to stun the pig with a heavy object, not with a fist, because the butcher does not have that much strength). The pig was carried onto a platform made of two planks and bled with a sharp knife.

Go down with a knife, catch the pork with a basin, and then wash it with water, after the pig's blood coagulates, cook it into pig red, which is quite a good delicacy, and it can also raise people. This knife provided him with more than 4,600 points of life energy. Even if this pig doesn't make much money, only enough for his living needs, but being able to earn more than 4,600 points of life energy is already a big profit.

After scalding a round of pig hair with boiling water, try the knife, which can already easily shave off the pig hair, which is to use a leather knife (the butchers in our hometown generally have two knives, one is a sharp knife, the knife body is small, the front end is very sharp, it is specially used to bleed pigs, and the other is used to shave the hair, and it is used to cut meat, the knife body is relatively wide, called a leather knife. As for other regions, there may be different names) to shave.

Scrape one side, turn the pig over, and then scrape the other side, because it is the first time to kill the pig, although it is the first time to kill the pig, although it is a lot of sight, but it is much more difficult to do it yourself, and it took a full hour to shave the pig's whole body hair.

The next step is to disembowel, take out all the water on the pig, and then hang the whole pig on the side of the hook, wash all the blood on the pig with water, and wait for the water to drip off the pig.

After the complete pig is processed, the water of the pig must be disposed of, the pig heart, the pork belly, and the pig's large intestine and small intestine, etc., all of which must be cleaned. It took him more than half an hour, so from four o'clock in the morning until dawn he was able to take care of all the things of the whole pig.

Pull the horse, harness the horse, load the whole pig into the car, drive to the Mingdong market, ready to start business.

The first time I was a butcher, I was naturally a little busy when I was cutting meat, and my hands were also very raw. However, business is still good. The price of lean meat is a little higher, and the price of others is a little lower, in general, the average selling price still reaches twenty-five copper coins, excluding taxes, stall rents, etc., the net profit can still reach three copper coins a catty, therefore, slaughtering a pig, if it can be sold all, the total profit should reach about seven hundred copper coins, and this profit can only be said to be barely enough to live.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and when it is mature, if the business is better, if you can slaughter two pigs a day, you will naturally make more money. If you buy pigs directly from farmers in the countryside, the cost will be lower, so that you will make more money.

No matter what, Yang Siqi finally settled down temporarily, and all that was left was to do business slowly and settle down for a while.

One of the advantages of being a butcher business is that it is generally only work in the morning, and the afternoon is the rest time, if the meat is not sold until the afternoon, hehe, it will definitely be a loss. Therefore, one of the reasons why this business of making a living was chosen was that there was a lot of time to devote to cultivation. Yang Siqi needed too much time to cultivate magic and battle qi now.
