Chapter 54: One Hundred Thousand Taels of Silver
In the east of the city, almost every household has a small bunker to facilitate hiding when the beast tide comes. Although the blacksmith shop is small, it also has a small bunker.
After temporarily storing the items in the bunker, Zhantian returned to the south of the city and continued to pour the stone house.
When he was done, he went straight to a nearby pharmacy to buy the medicine for the medicated bath.
In the south station before, I used the most common medicinal bath twice, each time with ten pairs of medicinal herbs, and a total of two hundred taels of silver was used.
But the first time I used it, with ten days of extreme exercise, I gained more than 20 pounds of strength, and the second time I used the same medicine and the same method, but I only increased more than 10 pounds!
He asked the grocery store shopkeeper and learned that the general medicine can only be used three times at most, and it will increase the strength of fifty catties at most, and there will be some damage to the body!
If you want a faster and better boost, it is best to use a Chinese medicinal bath. The medicinal power of the medium grade is milder and longer-lasting, and there is no damage to the body.
So this time, he planned to use the Chinese medicinal bath directly to improve his strength as soon as possible.
However, under inquiry, in this pharmacy, there is no medicine for sale in Chinese medicinal baths, and in the entire eastern city, only Putian Pharmacy can make medicines for Chinese medicinal baths!
Asking the direction, Zhan Tian rushed to the main store of Putian Pharmacy in the west of the city.
The gatehouse of Putian Medicine Workshop is very high, and the construction is magnificent, which is very atmospheric.
Xu is because the beast tide has just passed, and the medicine shop is very busy, and more than a dozen guys are a little too busy.
After waiting for a while, a guy came to greet him.
Under inquiry, the medicine in the Chinese medicinal bath was ten times that of the ordinary one! That is, a pair of one hundred taels of silver!
After thinking about it, he bought five pairs for the time being, and then left the pharmacy.
After walking two or three miles, he entered a huge meat shop and inquired about the price of beast meat.
The price of beast meat is also very expensive, and it cost more than 300 taels of silver to buy 100 catties.
This is still because of the beast tide that has just been experienced, the huge harvest in the eastern city, and the price of fierce beast meat has been greatly reduced.
Back at the blacksmith's shop, Zhan Tian boiled water to prepare a medicinal bath, and at the same time took out the six bags of looted items, broken armor, weapons and other metal fragments, and began to smelt them on another furnace.
Most of the items left on the station are relatively bulky and occupy more space, among which metal products are the majority, followed by various leather products, and many other messy objects, which are daily needs, can be preserved intact, and it is not difficult to sell.
This kind of recycling and refining is very simple for Zhantian. Xin Ran's father and grandfather were both blacksmiths, and although he had not practiced it, he had heard and seen it when he was a child, and he had learned a lot.
By the time a large vat of hot water had been boiled, he had already refined all the metal fragments and divided them into more than a dozen rough pieces.
Open a pair of medicines, pour them into a large vat, and temporarily seal them with a wooden lid.
Next, he took out the more broken leather products and began to boil them.
The rubber bars made of leather are widely used in the east of the city, such as bow crossbows, large city defense bed crossbows, armor, construction projects, and even the iron wheels of various vehicles, which will be wrapped with rubber bars, which greatly increases the degree of durability.
Zhantian has only heard some tricks about boiling glue tendons.
But for him, who was born as a migrant worker, there is nothing he dare not do!
Working on the earth's construction site often encounters some problems that require professional personnel to solve. But a work team, often dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, so many people waiting for a professional talent to come, as long as it is delayed for half a day, it will be thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of losses!
Therefore, the managers on the construction site, when they encounter this kind of thing, they select people with stronger ability and more comprehensive in the team to solve it first, and then find another professional talent.
Zhan Tian is such a person, he can't do it anyway, even if he messes up, there are people behind him, right?
This also directly made his hands-on ability very strong!
While he was boiling, he took out two iron leggings and tied them to his calves.
The total weight of these two leggings has reached 100 catties, and now he wants to skip rope to exercise the flexibility and coordination of his body, without adding this leggings, it will not have much effect.
Half an hour later, he opened the wooden lid of the vat and looked at the liquid.
A strong medicinal fragrance came to the face, and a large vat of clear water had also turned a dark green color.
"That's it!" Zhan Tian muttered to himself, and stepped into the vat.
The water temperature at this moment, according to the standards of the earth, is at least sixty or seventy degrees, but with his current physique, it is completely bearable.
Sitting down in the vat, he carefully felt the power of the medicinal bath.
After about the time of tea, there was a pinprick pain all over the body, indicating that the medicine had begun to enter the body.
"The effect is much more obvious than that of ordinary medicine!" Zhan Tian smiled slightly, and said in his heart.
For general medicine, it takes about a stick of incense to feel a slight paralysis on the surface of the body, which is much faster in terms of effect and speed.
After feeling it for a while, Zhantian's body gradually adapted to the pain, and he fell asleep soundly in the medicine tank.
More than two hours later, he woke up on time and opened his eyes to look at the liquid.
At this moment, the dark green liquid medicine is a little darker, obviously after exercising, the liquid medicine has removed a lot of dirt and impurities from the body.
Turning over and leaving the medicine tank, drying himself and putting on his clothes, he carried a huge "barbell" on his shoulders and began to practice squatting.
It is said to be a barbell, but in fact it is just an iron rod the thickness of a duck's egg, and a large hard stone is worn at each end.
However, the total weight of this barbell has exceeded 400 catties, and his current physique is just right for exercise.
After squatting for a while, he lifted two more homemade pulleys and hung them on the beams of the roof.
Take out two ropes, smelt yourself, tie the two largest iron embryos, and then pass through the pulley, pull up with both hands, and start exercising arm pulling.
"Click!" There was a strange sound, and the beam, which seemed to be more than a foot thick, actually cracked in an instant, and a large piece of dust fell!
"Damn, this is a tofu scum project!"
Zhan Tian was startled and hurriedly put down the two iron embryos that had just left the ground.
This method was temporarily unusable, so he had to pick up a slightly smaller iron embryo, find a rope to tie it, and then tie the other end to a short iron rod.
Holding the iron rod with both hands, staggering and turning, slowly wrapping the rope on the iron rod, and slowly lifting the iron embryo.
This is another way to work the muscle groups in the arms, again from Jeet Kune Do.
......
In the days that followed, Zhan Tian went out in the morning to collect clay and glue blocks, and brought back more than a dozen bags of buried items at a time.
When they come back, they send back the items and then pour the house.
After that, the items are recycled by refining, boiling, rebuilding, attaching, inlaying, beating and transforming.
The items that can be sold directly are make-up and disguise from time to time, change clothes, and sell them in various stores throughout the east and west of the city.
The eastern city passed through the beast tide, and many of the items that were usually used were smashed by the collapsed houses, and there were many people who sold various items. He's inconspicuous in the mix.
After selling the items, he either made inquiries or bought books to improve his recycling level.
Back at the blacksmith's shop, it's time to start exercising, reinforcing the house, crafting exercise equipment, recovering items, and refining your body in a medicated bath!
In this way, his daily life is arranged very compactly, and he does not waste a single bit of time.
After just ten days, a fairly sturdy house was erected on top of the ground.
The blacksmith shop was also re-reinforced, and the walls of the furnace room used for ironmaking and cultivation were specially painted on all sides, with a mixture of clay and wheat bran four fingers thick.
This design is certainly not for sturdiness, but for sound insulation!
In terms of cultivation, he also consumed a large amount of fierce beast meat, and the intensity of his exercise was several times that of ordinary martial artists, and the interval between the use of Chinese medicinal baths was reduced to one day.
In this way, within ten days, he used ten pairs of drugs to increase the strength of one arm to about two hundred and eighty catties! This increase is neither high nor low, it is considered medium.
However, this also cost him more than three thousand taels of silver, most of which was mainly used to buy beast meat.
More than 100 bags of goods were also transported back to Donglin City.
Among them, the items that can be sold directly earned him a harvest of 28,000 taels of silver!
Of course, the most valuable metal blanks, rubber blocks, rubber bars, have not yet been sold.
He roughly estimated that if all these things were sold, the total price should be around 100,000 taels of silver!
One tael of silver is exchanged for one penny, which is a thousand copper plates!
100,000 taels of silver......
"I'm a god!"
Although he had expected it for a long time, after this number was really estimated, it still made Zhan Tian a little dumbfounded!
Thinking about the scene when he was just driven to the war slave station less than five months ago, he risked his life to clash with the horse gang for a copper plate of coarse grain steamed buns, and he even had a sense of trance and unreality......
