Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy
Chapter 28 Income
After hearing what the other two people in the family said, Wang Shujuan felt a little relieved. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was true and she was no longer worried.
For the next few days, Zhang Jialiang went to the river to fish and entered the hunting space to hunt as usual. However, due to his lack of skills and inaccuracy with his slingshot, he didn't get anything in the first few days. There were stupid rabbits that fell into his trap every day.
However, as my proficiency with the slingshot increased, my accuracy improved, and I began to occasionally catch something, either a pheasant, a turtledove, or occasionally a rabbit.
Fishing is still the same. Most of the time I come up empty-handed. Only when I’m lucky can I catch a few small fish.
Zhang Jialiang decided to bring some prey home almost every week so that his family could have a meal of meat to satisfy their cravings. He didn't dare to take too much. Once a week was enough. If he took more, it would really make other people in the courtyard jealous.
He traded the rest of the prey through the pigeon market. He had no money before and life was hard, so he couldn't always ask his family for money.
The Zhang Jialiang now is not the Zhang Jialiang of the past. He still has his dignity. Besides, as he gains more hunting experience in the future, the harvest of prey will also increase. There must be a channel to deal with it, and the pigeon market is a good way.
In fact, there is another channel, which is the black market. However, the black market is riskier after all, so he decided to go there later. Although the risk there is high, the rewards are also high, and he can exchange for various bills.
Although pigeon trading is not legal, it is indeed an effective way for citizens to solve their needs. The higher-ups will turn a blind eye to it, and unless the transaction is too excessive, it is generally not a big deal.
In this era, the most popular meat is still pork. Because pork is high in fat and can provide a lot of oil and water, pork is the most expensive of all meats.
Various prey have lower prices than domestic animals due to their low fat content. A wild rabbit generally weighs about 5 jin and has a meat yield of only 40%, so its relative value is much lower, about one dollar per piece. The meat yield of a pheasant is a little higher, about 70%, and the weight of a pheasant is about to jin, and the price is about a little more than one dollar per piece.
All the gains during this period were successfully traded in the pigeon market. A rabbit cost 1 yuan, a pheasant cost 1 yuan, and two turtledoves cost 2 cents, for a total of three yuan.
This is the prey Zhang Jialiang caught in a week. He only earned 3 yuan in a week, which is really miserable. But this is also related to the fact that he has just started hunting and has no experience.
Due to lack of experience, he did not catch much prey. This was the biggest problem he encountered at this stage. The most important thing now was to solve the issue of hunting techniques.
The system also provides a solution to this problem. The prey brought out of the storage space will have points. This point is the amount of money he gets from selling the prey he harvests from hunting. For example, if he sells 3 pieces now, the points in the hunting space are 3 points.
通过积分就可以换取打猎技术和打猎装备,就拿弹弓技术来说分成了几个等级:提升到10%的命中率15个积分,从10%提升到20%的命中率30个积分,从20%提升到30%的命中率45个积分,以此类推每增加10%的命中率,增加15个积分。
Of course, the hit rate can be increased through practice. Now Zhang Jialiang’s hit rate is 10%, which is the result of his practice of slingshot technology during this period.
There are two ways to improve slingshot skills. One is to practice slingshot skills by yourself, and the other is to accumulate points to purchase slingshot skills. Unfortunately, he only has 3 points now, which is not enough to buy the lowest level of slingshot skills.
As the days passed, Zhang Jialiang spent every day busy, hunting in the hunting space or practicing slingshot in reality.
Soon a month passed in busyness. His harvest in this month was rather miserable. His hunting skills improved a little. Through his own practice, his hit rate has now increased to 15%, which means that under normal circumstances he can only hit the target once in 6 or 7 shots. In total, he only earned more than 10 yuan in this month.
The end of the month is the day for system settlement. In addition to hunting, he also earned about 27 yuan from female relatives, which is almost equivalent to the salary of a first-level worker. Adding the more than 10 yuan he earned from hunting, his total earnings this month are almost 37 yuan.
These incomes are really not small. As a formal worker, Xu Damao only earns 27 yuan, but he lives a very good life. He is the most stylish person in the courtyard. Zhang Jialiang's income is far higher than his.
Now that he had money, Zhang Jialiang decided to give part of it to his family. However, it couldn't be too much at the beginning. He could only say that the money came from hunting, and hunting couldn't bring in much income.
If he gave too much, he was afraid that it would cause his family to worry and suspect that he was doing something bad, so he decided to give 10 yuan to his family and gradually increase the amount of money he handed over over time.
Giving some money to your family can also make your mother and grandmother feel at ease.
First of all, it increases the family income. With more income, the family’s living conditions can be gradually improved.
The second is to prove myself. Although I don't have a job and seem to be doing nothing all day, through hard work in hunting, I can not only allow my family to eat meat every once in a while, but also have some income, which is much better than being idle before.
As time goes by, the amount of money handed over will increase, which will gradually change the impression you make among your family members.
"Mom! I won't ask for money from home anymore. During this time, I went hunting and got some for our family to eat. I also sold some of the meat at the pigeon market and made some money.
I saved a few dollars for my own pocket money. Here is 10 dollars for you. You will give some money to your family not only this month but every month in the future.”
His mother Wang Shujuan was extremely surprised to see the 10 yuan handed over by Zhang Jialiang. She couldn't believe that her son, who had never liked to work and had been idle all day long since childhood, could now earn money by himself. This was the first time he gave money to his family. To be honest, Wang Shujuan was very touched.
At least his son is no longer the same as before. Although hunting is not a serious job, at least he has something to do and is not just sitting there doing nothing. It seems that his son has a talent for hunting.
How long has it been since we started hunting?
I remember it was about two months ago. I don’t know what was wrong with my son, but he suddenly said he wanted to eat meat and wanted to go fishing or hunting.
