Chapter 20 Tasks
Two days later in the evening.
Chen Che was about to go home from the entrance of the hall when Wang Zhen suddenly pulled him aside.
"Follow me."
"What's wrong, uncle?"
"Aren't you going to make extra money? Here's your chance! ”
Wang Zhen said with a smile.
Chen Che immediately came to his senses when he heard this.
……
It didn't take long for Wang Zhen to take Chen Che to a small restaurant on Sajin Street.
After entering the restaurant, Wang Zhen walked directly to a table by the window.
At this time, there were already three gangsters from the Wolf Tooth Hall sitting there, all of whom were martial artists of the Qi and Blood Realm in the Wolf Tooth Hall, and Du Peng, who had been drinking with Chen Che a few days ago, was also among them.
Seeing that Wang Zhen brought Chen Che over, Du Peng smiled and said: "Brother Wang, I didn't expect you to bring Brother Chen over, I thought you would let him hone and hone again, and then go out with us to make money." ”
Wang Zhenwen said in a serious tone: "My nephew's strength is not weaker than mine, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have taken him over with confidence." ”
Although he knew that Du Peng just said this casually, there were some things that he had to explain clearly, after all, this might involve the question of how much money to share.
Du Peng smiled and didn't answer.
Everyone present didn't have much opinion on Wang Zhen bringing Chen Che over.
After all, no matter how inexperienced Chen Che is, he is a Qi and Blood Realm martial artist.
And this Chen Che is very easy to get along with, and their impression of this person is also very good.
……
After the two sat down, they waited for a while, and a middle-aged man in his forties with a steady appearance came to the restaurant.
Seeing the middle-aged man, everyone stood up and said hello.
"Brother Zhao, you're here!"
"I don't know what we're going to do this time?"
……
"Brother Zhao!"
Chen Che also stood up and said hello.
This middle-aged man's name is Zhao Tong, he is an old veteran of the Wolf Tooth Hall, and it is said that he mixed with the gang leader at the beginning, and in the Wolf Tooth Hall, even the hall master Xu Feng had to give him some thin noodles.
Now it seems that he is the one who took the lead in this mission.
Zhao Tong didn't say anything when he saw that there was more Chen Che, waved his hand and said, "Let's sit down, there's no need to be so polite." ”
With that, he sat up first.
Everyone sat down, and then they all looked at Zhao Tong expectantly.
Zhao Tong smiled, coughed lightly as if he was deliberately selling off, and it was not until everyone had satisfied their appetites that he spoke: "I can't hide it, I took two tasks this time."
One is the escort mission.
The Lin family had a medicine garden destroyed some time ago, and in the past few days, they rescued some medicinal materials from it and came back, in order to prevent accidents, this time in addition to their own team, they had to recruit another group of people to escort this batch of medicinal materials into the city.
It's a total of more than ten miles away, and the price I was offered was a Qi and Blood Realm martial artist, five taels of silver! ”
Zhao Tong stretched out his palm as he spoke.
"Five taels of silver!"
"This Lin family is really generous!"
Everyone was amazed!
Although half of the five taels of silver had to be handed over to the gang, there were also a lot of two taels and five pieces of silver.
After all, it's just a day out.
"Another mission?"
Du Peng asked curiously.
Zhao Tong smiled and continued: "Another task is to ride, in the east of the Lin Family Medicine Garden is the Zhang family's livestock farm, which has been infested by a tusked wild boar recently, let us go and have a look."
If we can solve it, give us five taels of silver. ”
"How big is the boar?"
The crowd was not much interested in five taels of silver, but they were very interested in the tusked boar.
This tusked boar is a common beast outside the city, and its meat is a great supplement for warriors, and its value is extremely high.
"Maybe more than two hundred pounds."
Zhao Tong said in a deep voice.
"More than 200 pounds of ......"
Chen Che began to silently calculate the accounts.
If these two hundred catties of tusked wild boar were killed, it would probably produce one hundred and fifty catties of meat.
If you dry the meat, there are still fifty catties left.
The market price of one pound of jerky is two taels of silver, and fifty catties is one hundred taels of silver.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became hot.
And that's just the price of meat, in fact, the guts, tusks and skin of tusked wild boars are worth a lot of money.
Of course, there are some risks involved.
A tusked wild boar of more than 200 catties has extremely strong attack power, and if it is hit, I am afraid that it will be disemboweled.
In addition, they had to try their luck in finding the wild beast, and they might not be able to meet the wild boar when they went.
But no matter what, it's always worth trying.
……
"Let's not talk about the escort task, everyone takes their own thing, anyway, the Lin family recruits more than just us.
As for the fanged boar, it will be distributed according to the merit when the time comes.
In addition, as an introducer, I will take an extra two taels of silver, no problem, right? ”
Zhao Tong glanced around at everyone and asked.
"No problem, no problem!"
Everyone said one after another.
Zhao Tong smiled with satisfaction, and immediately clapped his hand and said: "Then it's decided, tomorrow we will go to the outside of the city half an hour in advance!" ”
"Good!"
"Good! I salute Brother Zhao! ”
"Thank you Brother Zhao for bringing us rich! Ha ha! ”
"I have to say that Brother Zhao's connections are wide!"
Everyone toasted while complimenting, and soon the atmosphere became warm.
……
When they had eaten and drunk, they dispersed.
On the way back, Wang Zhen said meaningfully: "Nephew, do you think it's strange?"
If we don't meet the toothy boar tomorrow, we can earn two taels and five dollars of silver, but each of us ate five dollars of silver for that meal of wine and meat just now. ”
Chen Che did not speak.
It was indeed a bit unreasonable to eat one-fifth of the money before it was earned, but he could vaguely guess the reason.
Wang Zhen continued: "Although the risk of this kind of mission is relatively small, it is not uncommon for casualties......
In the last two years, two people in our hall have died on this kind of mission. ”
Two years for two.
This doesn't sound like too much, but Chen Che knows that this kind of group mission is basically only done once a month.
I probably did it more than 20 times in two years.
Two people have died more than twenty times, and the risk is not small.
"So we all have a habit of eating and drinking before doing a mission, so that even if we accidentally die the next day, it's not too much of a pity."
Wang Zhen said a little stunned.
"Warrior ...... Inevitably. ”
Chen Che echoed.
Wang Zhen saw that Chen Che was not much afraid, nodded, and then admonished: "Don't look at the one they just called you brothers, but no one is really reliable."
If you really encounter any danger tomorrow, no matter what happens to others, you will save your life first, you know? ”
"I know, don't worry, uncle."
Chen Che said solemnly.
"It's good to know."
Wang Zhen didn't say anything more.
……
After returning home, the two rested early.
The next morning, before Wang Rou woke up, the two left home and rushed out of the city.
