Chapter 109: Considerable Profits
With Chen Changfan's current fame and net worth, he truly deserves the title of "Master".
Tiger-fighting hero, autumn hunting leader, bandit-eliminating captain, each of these titles is a well-known one.
Especially since these three titles all fell on one person within just two days, it was difficult for the people of Qingshan County to ignore Chen Changfan's name.
Facing Shopkeeper Fu's compliment, Chen Changfan remained calm and said, "Shopkeeper Fu, I have a dish called steamed bear paws. Would you like some?"
"Yes! Of course!"
Ever since Shopkeeper Fu bought the giant bony fish's head last time, he has made a fortune and his fame has soared.
He is now eagerly looking forward to launching a heavyweight new dish to take Shiweizhai's reputation to a higher level.
"Then why don't you go get some paper and pen, and I'll write the recipe for you."
Manager Fu quickly took out paper and pen. Chen Changfan thought for a moment and quickly wrote down the recipe.
"Great! Great! The smell and grease of bear paws are the hardest to deal with. I never thought Mr. Fan could come up with such an ingenious method. I can't help but admire it."
Shopkeeper Fu couldn't help but admire and immediately gave his own quotation.
"Two bear paws, plus a recipe for steamed bear paws, for a total of 200 taels of silver. How about that?"
Chen Changfan was quite satisfied with the offer. The two of them made the deal immediately and he left with satisfaction, taking away 200 taels of silver.
I have to say that the speed at which he makes money is becoming more and more terrifying.
Just selling two bear paws can earn 200 taels of silver, which is many times faster than selling fish before.
Of course, the threshold for bear hunting is much higher than that for fishing.
Just looking at the equipment, an iron-framed bow is worth a hundred taels of silver, and a wolf-tooth arrow is worth about one tael of silver.
And the fishing boat, fishing net, bait and other things in the river are only worth ten taels of silver at most.
There is no comparison between the two.
In addition, the ceilings of the two skills of fishing and archery are also very different, so it is not an exaggeration that he is making money so quickly now.
However, the gap between fishing and archery would take others a lifetime of hard work to cross, but Chen Changfan had established his foothold in just a few days.
When they arrived at the market, Lao Wei was still selling tiger meat. When he saw Chen Changfan pulling over another large cart of bear meat, he felt his scalp tingling.
If I remember correctly, he just hunted a tiger yesterday, so how come he hunted a human bear today?
And judging from the boss's expression, it seemed that shooting a bear was not a rare thing. The boss checked the sales of tiger meat with a calm face, and then gave a price for bear meat.
Tiger meat costs 50 taels per catty, so bear meat should be more expensive, but not too much more.
60 taels of silver per catty.
A tiger can produce about 100 kilograms of meat, which can be sold for 5000 taels of silver under ideal conditions.
A bear can produce 200 kilograms of meat, which can be sold for two silver coins under ideal conditions.
But that is under ideal conditions. According to his estimate, it would be good if 50 kilograms of tiger meat could be sold, but he is afraid that only to kilograms of bear meat can be sold.
After all, Qingshan County is just a small county, and only a very small number of wealthy dog owners have the opportunity to taste ingredients such as tiger meat and bear meat, and eating a few dozen kilograms at most is already a great opportunity.
If they really wanted to sell it well, they would probably have to take the meat to Qinghe County to sell it. It would not be surprising that the nobles there would spend a fortune to buy a tiger.
However, there are bandits everywhere along the way. I am afraid that before the meat is transported a few miles, it will be robbed by countless gangs of bandits.
Even so, the profit from retail sales is considerable enough.
If all goes well, 50 kilograms of tiger meat and 20 kilograms of bear meat can be sold within three days, which means a profit of 2200 taels of silver.
In total, I can earn 700 taels of silver a day.
This is only a small part of the total weight of 200 kilograms of bear meat.
He couldn't let the unsold meat go bad, so Chen Changfan picked out two large pieces of the best bear meat and kept them, intending to savor them slowly later.
After all, it is an orange-quality creature, and eating it will definitely be beneficial to the body.
The reason why he didn't eat the giant bony fish was because he had personally cut out the bones of Old Man Ding from the belly of the fish, and he still felt a little disgusted.
Moreover, he almost vomited after eating fish these days, so he didn't eat the giant bony fish.
But he still wanted to taste the taste of this bear man.
Old Wei looked at the bear meat that was almost piled up like a small mountain, and the seventy or eighty kilograms of tiger meat that were left, and suddenly he had the illusion that he would never be able to sell all of it.
He decided to retract his previous statement that "Dongjia and the Dragon King are brothers."
He now feels that the boss might be a brother of the mountain god.
After settling the business in the market, Chen Changfan took the alum back to Dahe Village and continued to prepare sulfuric acid.
After his careful cultivation, the Lingyu Lotus in the water tank regained its vitality, the lotus leaves grew a little bigger, and the color of the lotus flowers became much brighter.
I believe that it won’t be long before the Lingyu Lotus will slowly give birth to Lingyu Lotus Root, and then he will have an endless supply of Lingyu Lotus Root.
After watering the vegetables in the field, a tank of sulfuric acid was also prepared in the tower tank.
He performed another round of purification and obtained half a jar of concentrated sulfuric acid.
Lock the gate and everything around you will be as quiet as a chicken.
Now that he is in the limelight, no one would dare to offend him.
After all, Chen Changfan could even kill a bear, and he could kill people even faster than a chicken.
The sun was setting in the west. Chen Changfan was walking on the road into the mountains, calculating the silver in his hand.
Today, the profits from selling bear paws, tiger meat, and recipes have totaled just over a thousand taels.
But the money needed to build the shelter is almost a bottomless pit.
Now, at least three hundred taels have been invested in it, but not even a splash has been made.
Building fences, constructing houses, and even setting up facilities such as arrow towers and warehouses, each of these items would cost thousands of taels of silver.
After all, he wanted to build a manor that could defend against bandits, so the construction materials could not be ambiguous at all.
"Forget it, don't worry about it for now. At worst, I can just dig a few more ginseng plants and hunt a few more tigers and leopards."
While Chen Changfan was comforting himself, he had already arrived at Xiaofeng Mountain.
"Boss, why are you here so late?"
In a simple shack, Hu the bricklayer came out after hearing the noise. When he saw that it was Chen Changfan, he was obviously relieved and immediately put down the trowel in his hand.
Now a total of fifty stairs have been built and the holes in the rock wall have also been drilled. Hu the bricklayer was afraid that someone would come to steal things, so he built a simple shack and voluntarily kept watch here at night.
Seeing the slightly tired figure of Hu the bricklayer, Chen Changfan couldn't help but feel moved.
He is obviously just a farmhand, but he knows how to protect his property. Where can you find such a good employee?
"Lao Hu, what did you eat tonight?"
Chen Changfan asked as he unloaded the goods from the pony.
Bricklayer Hu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I ate half a cake..."
"You do such heavy work every day, how can you just eat bread? Go get a bag of shavings so we can grill some meat."
"Barbecue?"
When Hu the bricklayer heard this word, he felt like drooling.
"No, no, no, meat is so expensive now, I can't do that, I can't do that..."
He was clearly licking his lips, but he still declined, saying that he was afraid his boss would spend the money.
The boss has been good enough to him, he can't be ungrateful.
"I hunted a man-bear today, and I'll have enough bear meat to eat today!"
Chen Changfan opened the basket, revealing two large pieces of bear meat, which stunned Hu the bricklayer.
"What? Bear meat?"
