Half a year passed quietly.

It's the end of the month again.

Han Zhao finished his boxing practice in the evening and did not go home directly. Instead, he went to Xu's Rice Shop in Changfengfang, the outer city area. Today was the time to collect the customs payment.

Now he has 10 taels of 8 silver in his hand. If he receives another 1 tael of silver, he can exchange it for 1 tael of gold.

Martial Arts: Duanyue Sword Technique (minimum success rate 77% at the first level), Health Preservation Technique (minimum success rate 56% at the first level)

Looking at his attributes, Han Zhao sighed inwardly.

The health tips are still the same, with an average improvement of 1% per month.

When the Duanyue Sword Technique was in the introductory stage, an average of one day of practice could increase the progress by 1%.

However, starting from the small completion stage, the progress has only increased by 1% in an average of two days.

It's not because the difficulty has increased, but because after reaching the level of skin training, although Han Zhao's strength has been greatly enhanced, the physical energy consumption when practicing sword skills has increased.

Health regimen can speed up physical recovery, but it requires nutrient consumption, and three meals a day can no longer satisfy Han Zhao's appetite.

When he reached the level of skin training, his income increased, but his appetite also increased greatly. To be able to save so much money in five months was already a great effort.

The main reason is that the root bone is too poor.

[Double Skills of Swordsmanship] can improve his swordsmanship qualifications and increase his practice proficiency very quickly, but after daily exercise, his physical strength will increase faster and his hips will shrink.

You must supplement a large amount of meat to make your body stronger and break through to the bone training realm as soon as possible.

Therefore, since cutting expenditures is not possible, the only option is to increase revenue.

If you add breakthroughs early, you can make more money earlier.

Soon, Han Zhao came to Changfengfang, which was next to Yihefang.

The front door of Xu's Rice Shop is on the busiest East Street in Changfengfang. Behind the rice shop is Xinqiaotan, which is close to the Yihe River.

At this time, large boats and small boats came and went, transporting rice from the boats to the back of Mi Xing's house.

The price of unhusked grains will be lower because rice mill workers are still needed to pound the rice.

Rice pounding is to put the grains into a stone mortar and pound them with a pestle to remove the shell or mash them. The pounded shell is the bran. The rice pounding tool is a bit like a medicine jar. It has a mallet and a container. Use the mallet to pound the millet.

Break the husks off the grains.

Generally, poor families will grind rice and then sell it to make more money.

However, rice pounding is very arduous labor. An ordinary farm family of three or five people needs to pound three or four mortars of rice every month. To pound one mortar of rice, it takes at least two to three hundred times, which takes nearly an hour.

I don’t know how long it will take to pound these bags of rice.

The business of Xu's Rice Shop is very large. After the rice is pounded and processed, a lot of rice will be carried back to the ship in sacks and then transported to the inner city.

The bran left after the shelling process will be carried to taverns or wealthy families to be used as fuel for stoves, or sent to farmers to be used as rations for livestock.

Many people in slums buy bran to satisfy their hunger.

A group of tanned men wearing straw hats passed by Han Zhao and walked happily toward Mi Xing.

Han Zhao came to his senses.

'Today is the day to harvest rice.'

It is already the autumn of the second year.

It has been almost ten months since I came into this world.

A group of men gathered in front of the counter of a rice store and asked about the price of rice.

Han Zhao saw this and waited at the door.

The sharp-eyed shopkeeper Mi Xingsun saw Han Zhao at the door, and his original look of rolling eyes at the men disappeared instantly, and he greeted them with a smile on his face.

"Master Han, you are here to collect the money for the case, right? Please wait a moment."

"Excuse me, Shopkeeper Sun." Han Zhao bowed his hand.

Shopkeeper Sun returned to the counter, opened the cabinet, took out a thumb-sized piece of silver, and presented it with both hands.

The men who came to Bami eagerly looked at the silver in the shopkeeper's hand, but when they noticed the training uniform Han Zhao was wearing, they quickly looked away.

"Thank you so much, shopkeeper Sun." Han Zhao took the money and stuffed it into his money bag.

"Master Han, please don't be so polite to me."

"Then I won't disturb you and take my leave."

"Go slowly! Master Han." Shopkeeper Sun waved vigorously at Han Zhao's back.

At this time, the new guy on the side couldn't help but stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "I'm so envious. You don't have to do anything and you can get one tael of silver a month. I really don't know what the use of Third Miss recruiting him is. What's the point of recruiting him?"

It’s better to…”

Snapped!

Shopkeeper Sun slapped the waiter on the back of the head, interrupted him, and said viciously: "Shut up, if it weren't for the fact that you are my nephew, I would have told you to get out immediately!"

The guy who was beaten shrank his head.

Shopkeeper Sun looked at Han Zhao's back and saw that he did not stop. Knowing that he had not heard, he breathed a sigh of relief and explained to his nephew in a low voice: "This Young Master Han may be the third uncle of the Xu family in the future.

, offended him, you want to die!"

When the waiter heard this, he finally got scared. When he turned around and saw the handsome men watching the fun, he became angry and said, "What are you looking at?!"

[Three minutes to the east of Hedong, three minutes to the west of Hexi, don’t bully young people into being poor! As long as you add some krypton gold, you will become stronger immediately, and then slap this guy who looks down on others in the face!]

The prompt information in his sight made Han Zhao momentarily speechless.

With his hearing and Qi cultivation, although the man's voice was very low, he still heard it clearly, but he just didn't want to pay attention to it.

He felt that if copper coins could be recharged, this system might drain the last copper from his pocket.

All I can say is that it is worthy of being produced by Goose Factory.

"What?! No one has fallen so hard!"

Before Han Zhao could walk far, he heard a sudden high-pitched voice from behind, full of disappointment and shock.

"You don't sell, but others do!" Shopkeeper Sun's unceremonious voice sounded: "Our Xu's Rice Shop has always been the highest price, and you can't find a second one!"

Han Zhao frowned slightly.

When passing by the Yihe River, looking at the boats coming and going on the river, he suddenly recalled Mr. Ye's article in the junior high school textbook in his previous life - "I collected three to five buckets more".

There is a sentence at the beginning: The river pier of Wansheng Mihang is dotted with open boats from the countryside. The boats are loaded with new rice, which makes the hull of the boat very low.

He didn't remember the original text later, but it left a deep impression on him.

Han Zhao quickened his pace, and the sound from Mi Xing completely disappeared in his ears.

...

After exchanging gold, Han Zhao returned home.

"System, recharge."

The 1 tael of gold in his hand disappeared instantly.

[Current balance: 2 taels of gold.]

[Collect 25 reminder fragments, do you want to synthesize the entry? 】

At this point, there was not much Yin Qi left in Han Zhao's heart.

[Synthesize once, consume 15 reminder fragments and 2 taels of gold. You will definitely get a one-time basic entry 'Life Simulation'; the probability of getting a white entry increases by 1%]

"yes."

[Get the basic entry ‘Life Simulation’, do you want to start the simulation? 】

"yes."

[At the age of sixteen, you joined the Shanshan Quan Academy to practice the Duanyue Sword Technique, and it took you three months to break through to the skin training realm. ]

[At the age of twenty-two, you relied on the Duanyue Sword Technique to break through to the Bone Training Realm, and practiced the Health Preservation Technique to the first level of perfection, and your breakthrough is imminent.]

[You have been attracted by gangs and families in the city. You are in the name of "Xu's Rice Shop", "Tianyue Gang", and "Forged Iron Villa", and you earn 35 taels of silver a year. 】

[At the end of the year, Xu Ling failed in the fight for the family business and lost control of Xu's rice shop. Your nominal income dropped by two-thirds. In order to make more money, you chose to become a government assassin. 】

[Twenty-three years old, you caught three fugitives in succession within half a year, earned dozens of taels of silver, and became somewhat famous in the surrounding area.]

[At the age of twenty-four, you relied on your income as a knife catcher to reach the perfection of the bone training realm. 】

[After three months, you failed to break through to the realm of blood training, and your qi and blood were damaged.]

[At the age of twenty-five, your health-preserving formula has broken through to the second level, and your damaged energy and blood have returned to their peak state.]

[In order to increase the success rate of breakthrough, you decided to save money to buy precious medicinal materials. 】

[In a mission, you are chasing two fugitives, and the other party leads you into a trap. Their accomplice is a warrior who has perfected the bone training realm. The other party has practiced three kinds of martial arts: fists, palms, and legs. You can't attack for a long time, and the three of them are hard.

I will consume you to death.】

Han Zhao looked at the information in the simulation and thought to himself: "The time to enter the bone training realm is one year faster than last time. In six years, Xu Ling will lose Xu's rice practice."

He has to step up his practice, and if he can, he can't let the rich woman go bankrupt.

His failure to break through to the realm of blood training also had a lot to do with the lack of Xu Shi Mi Xing's Li Yin.
