Pei Shaorong came down from the back mountain and carried the game home. He met many villagers on the way. He greeted everyone with a smile. If he wanted to live here permanently in the future, he must establish good relationships with the villagers.
The countryside is not like the city, not to mention that this is ancient times, and neighborhood relations are the most important. If something happens at home, we rely on these people for help.
After returning home and closing the door, Pei Shaorong ate his meal and rested for a while before starting to deal with the prey in the space.
He really caught a lot of things this time, but they were not valuable prey. The back mountain of Linjiang Village was not a deep forest. In addition to dozens of pheasants and rabbits, Pei Shaorong's biggest gain was a wild goat.
Like other hunters here, they usually take their hunted prey directly to the town and sell it to the restaurant, but Pei Shaorong does not plan to sell it directly to the restaurant.
He felt it was not cost-effective, as the prey was not only edible for its meat, the rabbits' fur was also a treasure, which could be sold for money after being processed properly.
Anyway, his space is like a natural refrigerator. The meat will not go bad no matter how long it is kept there, so it can be processed slowly.
Pei Shaorong has already figured out what to do with the meat. He cannot finish it all by himself, and keeping it in the space is not a solution. He has to exchange it for silver.
Because this is a normal human society where food, clothing, housing and transportation all require money. It is absolutely impossible to live without money. I currently have no job and no income.
So Pei Shaorong decided to take the meat of the prey to the town to sell on skewers. Although it was not as quick and easy as selling it directly to the restaurant, he could make more money.
What he has the most now is time. It's boring to stay idle in the village anyway. He is alone at home and there is no one to talk to. Selling skewers can be regarded as a temporary job to kill time.
After dealing with most of the prey in the space, it was getting dark. The visibility was poor and he couldn't work, so Pei Shaorong had to wash up and get ready for bed.
"No wonder people in ancient times gave birth to three or four sons and daughters. Without nightlife, the nights would only create bad people..."
Pei Shaorong lay in bed, unable to sleep. Although it was dark, it was actually still very early. Whether before or after the apocalypse, his night life was always very rich.
Now he was suddenly alone in ancient times. Although Pei Shaorong, who was unfamiliar with the place, appeared calm on the surface, he still felt extremely lonely in his heart, as if he was the only one sober while the whole world was drunk.
For the next two days, Pei Shaorong stayed at home processing the game he brought back from the mountain. He had a lot of barbecue seasonings in his space. Anyway, as long as he could think of it, he had prepared some of it when he was preparing the supplies.
Seasonings like chili pepper, cumin, etc. are indispensable. In the end times, sometimes when you camp outdoors, taking out a packet of seasonings to cook noodles or grill meat is much more comfortable than eating biscuits. Your combat effectiveness will increase dramatically after eating them!
However, he didn't prepare bamboo sticks, so he had to make them himself. He also had to prepare charcoal, a cart to hold the food, a grill, and so on.
After everything was ready, Pei Shaorong chose the next market day to go to town to set up a stall selling barbecue skewers.
"Brother Pei, what are you doing? It smells weird..."
As soon as Pei Shaorong came out of the exit, he met Aunt Qin and other villagers who were going to the town. In ancient times, there were no supermarkets like today, so everyone had to go to the town to buy things.
"I hunted some game in the mountains a couple of days ago, and took it to town to sell today when there are many people at the market..." Pei Shaorong replied with a smile.
Market day is the busiest day. People not only go to buy things, but also to sell things. Almost every household in the village sends a representative to the town.
Even the whole family is out, adults and children treat the market day as a playday, rushing to the town to play. Today is the best day to set up stalls.
As soon as they arrived in Yueyang Town, Pei Shaorong separated from Aunt Qin and the others, found a busy place, paid two cents for setting up a stall, and started setting up a stove to grill skewers.
"Meat skewers, delicious lamb skewers, pork skewers, rabbit skewers, and chicken skewers, one penny a skewer..."
Pei Shaorong was grilling skewers while shouting skillfully. He was used to shouting when setting up stalls in the first few days after arriving in ancient times, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Once the meat skewers were grilled, smeared with oil and sprinkled with spices, the aroma wafted out. People don't usually eat meat, and they have never eaten meat grilled with postmodern seasonings. The aroma made their mouths water.
"It smells so good, boss, give me two skewers of pork..."
"Boss, I want two skewers too..."
Some people could not resist and came over. A skewer of barbecue was not expensive at one cent, but a steamed bun also cost one cent, and a bun with meat cost two cents.
Pei Shaorong’s prices are cheap, and he spent almost no money on the meat. There is not much meat on each skewer, so he makes a small profit but quick turnover, and he is the one who makes the most money in the end.
Once there was one, there were two. Soon the barbecue stall was crowded with people. Pork was the fastest seller. Apparently, compared to chicken and rabbit, these ancient people were more loyal to greasy pork...
There were many people in the market town today, the atmosphere was lively and there were small vendors everywhere, which further stimulated everyone's desire to buy. By noon, the barbecue skewers prepared by Pei Shaorong had almost been sold out.
Copper coins flowed into his bag, and Pei Shaorong's face was almost broken by laughter. At noon, he went to the wonton stall next door to eat a bowl of wontons, found a deserted place, took out the barbecued meat that had been skewered in the space, and continued to sell it in the afternoon.
It was dusk and most people had left before Pei Shaorong rubbed his tender hands and packed up to go back. When he made enough money in the future, he would buy a house in the town. It was too inconvenient to rush from the village to the town.
I returned home with the backpack on my back, had a simple meal, took a shower, sat on the bed and began to count the day's harvest.
Because it was market day, there were a lot of people in the town today, so Pei Shaorong naturally sold a lot of skewers. At one cent a skewer, he sold nearly two thousand skewers. One tael of silver = 1,500 wen, which means he made more than one tael of silver.
The reason why he could sell so many, besides because there were many people at the market, was of course because Pei Shaorong, the unscrupulous merchant, deliberately reduced the amount of each skewer of meat.
I spent almost no money on the meat, as it was all pork caught in the back mountain and from the space. I also made the bamboo skewers myself, which also cost nothing, and I used my own seasonings. I exchanged the charcoal with Aunt Qin for a pound of noodles, so all the costs were very low.
If we continue to sell skewers, based on this sales volume, the seasonings in the space can probably last for half a year.
However, it is impossible to sell so much every time. Business is so good today because there are many people and it is the first time someone is selling skewers. In the future, it will be enough to sell a few hundred skewers every day because the population of Yueyang Town is limited.
But even so, a few hundred coins a day is a very substantial profit. He is selling barbecue skewers for now, and when the weather gets colder and there is still space for hot pot ingredients, he will sell hot pot skewers then.
When summer comes, I will switch to soda drinks. Anyway, I can't finish all the drinks in the space. Then I will work as a small vendor for two years and save enough money. Even if I don't do big business, I can buy hundreds of acres of land in the village and become a landlord!
There are many fruits in the space that are not available here. When you become a landlord, you can also plant some fruits that are easier to grow and cultivate, which will definitely be very profitable.
Of course, one must be careful about everything and not show off too much. It is still easy to become a big landlord who has no worries about food and drink and lives a stable life. Well, the future is still very bright!
After finally finding a way to survive, Pei Shaorong temporarily set his goal to become a small landlord. What was his biggest wish after being reborn? Wasn't it to live a comfortable life with food and drink in peace?
Pei Shaorong is now very self-aware and knows that he has no chance of becoming the protagonist who reaches the pinnacle of life.
This is ancient times, and he is wearing a fictional dynasty. It is not like other people whose souls have traveled through time and space and have a legitimate identity and become officials and famous, and can't change history.
Judging from his status as a poor student before the end of the world, his IQ is definitely not above the normal range. It is basically nonsense for him to want to achieve great things and leave his name in history.
If it weren't for the trials he had gone through during the apocalypse, Pei Shaorong was certain that with his frivolous and dissolute temper before the apocalypse, he would have been finished on the first day he came through.
As for the reason, it has to start from a long time ago. At that time, he read a novel, and the protagonist's name was Long Aotian...
(If you don't know what Long Aotian is, you can search on Baidu)
After discovering the staggering profits from kebabs, Pei Shaorong started setting up a stall in the town every day and even named his kebabs - Earth Kebabs!
No one understood the meaning of the "Earth" in Earth Kebab, but Kebab understood it later. So when we put the two together, we guessed that the Earth should be the name of a place.
Just as Pei Shaorong had expected, the profits in the next few days were not as amazing as the first day, but it was still good, about one or two hundred coins a day.
You have to know that most of the temporary workers here only earn 20 or 30 cents a day. If other people knew his income, they would probably be shocked.
Since grilled skewers can make money, of course there will be people who follow suit. Within a few days, some people started selling skewers like him. However, because everyone uses different seasonings, Pei Shaorong still sells the best.
He didn't mind if someone stole his business. There were so many people in the town anyway, and he couldn't possibly monopolize the business. There was no such thing as patents in ancient times. He didn't have to rely on this for a living forever. It was just a way to make money at the moment.
In order to avoid making people jealous and causing trouble for him, Pei Shaorong did not go to the town to sell skewers every day. He only went there every other day. He did not want to rely on kebabs to make a living, he just wanted to earn some money temporarily.
He spent the rest of his time learning how to farm from people in the village and getting to know some crops so that he could plan to become a local landlord in the future, because until now, he still didn't know the difference between grains and livestock!
In order to have a better life in the future, Pei Shaorong also bought a few books in the town and prepared to learn the traditional Chinese characters here.
No matter how bad of a student he was in the past, as a modern man, he understood how important literacy is. He couldn't possibly not be able to read his own house deeds and land deeds.
Now he has almost recognized everyone in the village. No matter if he is familiar with them or not, he can call out their names. He also paid special attention to the most troublesome troublemakers and scoundrels in the village, keeping a rough idea in his mind.
As for the boy named Abao whom he met on the mountain that day, Pei Shaorong didn't know what was wrong with him, so he went to ask about him...
