The booklet clearly records all kinds of rare and exotic animals that had appeared in the Qin Dynasty.
The other one was tightly wrapped in a piece of black cloth. When Wang Xing gently lifted a corner of the black cloth, a strange aroma came to his nose. When he looked closely, he found that there were several dark meat strips inside.
Wang Xing introduced with a hint of pride: "Xiao He, this is dried meat made from the extremely rare beast, the Flame Cloud Falcon!"
"In order to get it, I spent a lot of effort. Not only did I spend a lot of money, I also used a lot of connections. I finally bought it back from the black market."
"But the price is not cheap, it's twenty taels of silver per pound!"
"Yanyun Falcon?"
Xia He was a little surprised.
Because it was different from the monsters he had hunted in the mountains before.
After the "monster" has developed intelligence, it is called a strange beast.
It is powerful, extremely precious and difficult to find.
This kind of exotic beast meat is of great benefit to warriors in tempering their qi and blood, and is very valuable.
On the other hand, Xia He can only gain more attribute points by eating these meats.
"Twenty taels of silver per pound... it's not expensive."
Anyway, he had already owed three months' salary, so he didn't mind owing another month.
"Uncle Wang, I'll come and get my salary after I get it in advance from the army."
When Wang Xing heard that Xia He was short of money and even needed to withdraw his meager salary from the army in advance, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
But there was no change on his face, and he even showed a more earnest look.
He stepped forward, patted Xia He's shoulder affectionately and said, "Xiao He, you are being too polite! What is our relationship? Your father-in-law and I are good brothers who have a life-and-death friendship!"
"You need money to practice martial arts now. As your elder, if I don't help you, who will?"
After that, Wang Xing waved his hand and said with great pride: "You can take this jerky. Just keep an account. When you have more money, you can pay it back. Don't worry."
Xia He was stunned when he heard this. He had thought that this matter would be quite complicated, but he never expected it to be so smooth.
However, he was also a straightforward person, and did not pretend to refuse. Instead, he smiled and sincerely thanked Wang Xing, saying:
"Thank you for your generous help, Uncle Wang. I will definitely come to visit you again someday and have a drink with you."
Wang Xing laughed and handed the dried meat and the booklet in his hand to Xia He.
The guy standing nearby saw this and was so shocked that his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.
He thought to himself, his boss was famous for being money-conscious and was secretly called a miser by others. How come he suddenly became so generous today?
There were three pounds of dried meat in total, which added up to sixty taels of silver.
"Practicing martial arts is really expensive..."
Xia He didn't know how many times he had sighed.
From the time he started practicing martial arts to the time he has made some progress in blood refining, he has spent at least nearly a thousand taels of silver.
The expenses will only increase in the future.
"It seems that the skills of hunting and collecting herbs cannot be neglected."
He picked up the volume of "Records of Strange Beasts of the Great Qin" again.
After flipping through it casually, I found that it recorded hundreds of rare and exotic beasts in the Qin Dynasty. The weakest of each one was comparable to a blood-refining warrior.
The wild boars and pythons he had hunted before were not even ranked.
"Thunder Marten?"
Xia He walked and looked, with a look of surprise on his face.
The strange beasts have developed intelligence and can cultivate various strange magical powers on their own.
This mink was actually glowing with lightning all over its body, which looked extremely strange at first glance.
Moreover, the marten does not eat ordinary things. It actually likes to eat ginseng, and will not eat it if it is less than fifty years old.
“Good boy…”
How many precious medicines do you need to swallow if you want to become a strange beast?
This all adds up to silver.
When Xia He was almost home, a young servant suddenly ran over and stopped him.
"Sir, my master has specially asked me to wait for you here. Please have a meal with us at the best restaurant in our town - Babaolou!"
Xia He was very surprised when he heard this, and asked doubtfully: "Who is your master?"
The young man straightened his back proudly and answered loudly: "My master is the mayor of this town!"
It was completely different from the miserable situation when he first took office.
Now Chai He has developed an antidote for the blood disease and saved the people in the town.
Those who were rescued were full of gratitude to the town magistrate.
But a meal at Babaolou costs at least three taels of silver. Where would Lord Chai, who used to eat at his house, have the money?
The servant then explained that the government offices could now also seek medical advice, and the town magistrate was well versed in medicine and personally served as the doctor.
It was because of the people's trust that we made a lot of money.
Hearing this, Xia He looked strange and felt it was a bit absurd.
A town magistrate actually imitated a doctor and treated people's illnesses? However, despite this, he did not directly reject the invitation. Instead, he asked about the specific time of the banquet and told the servant that he would definitely go there at that time.
"Just don't talk about this matter outside and don't tell anyone else."
The servant was very young, and his eyes were wide open in ignorance.
If other people were invited to a banquet by the town magistrate, they would want to let everyone around them know, but why did this person let him keep it a secret? It was really strange.
Xia He first returned home and greeted his wife.
He went out when it was almost evening and went straight to Babao Tower.
