With a contact of frustration, Lu Yuan turned his again on the 4 Instructions Buying and selling Home behind him.

Strolling on the road with an empty bamboo basket on his again, the pelts he had simply offered have been all gone. The heavy strain immediately dissipated, making his steps lighter.

He turned his consideration to a store on the road and, with the 5 hundred cents he had simply acquired, Lu Yuan purchased ten kilos of coarse salt.

As a consequence of its location deep inland and in a mountainous space, Dayu County had excessive salt costs as a result of bringing in salt from different locations was an extended journey.

He had as soon as heard from retailers on the tea stand that in prefectures and counties with salt farms alongside the coast, a pound of salt may very well be bought for simply over a dozen cents.

In comparison with the fifty cents per pound right here, their salt was mainly given away totally free.

“And but they promote this coarse salt filled with impurities, so full you may even see rocks. With such poor high quality and a lot fakes blended in, how dare they cost this a lot?”

Lu Yuan regarded on the coarse salt within the jar. The salt was each black and yellow and regarded like massive items of uneven sand.

It was actually arduous to think about that an individual who ate this type of salt yr after yr wouldn’t endure well being points.

Nonetheless, pondering that this was historic instances the place the typical lifespan was most likely solely about thirty to forty years.

“With such a brief lifespan, even when there have been well being points from consuming this, an individual may die earlier than they really manifested,” he thought.

Having figured this out, Lu Yuan felt a bit relieved.

Nonetheless, he had made up his thoughts that after again dwelling, he will surely filter these coarse salts once more.

No matter others did with their salt, he himself was an immortal, able to dwelling so long as heaven itself, and he was not a type of short-lived abnormal folks.

If he died of illness attributable to consuming salt after having everlasting life, it will be really ridiculous.

What he set his thoughts to, he did.

To be able to safeguard his life, Lu Yuan purchased some filtering pottery and gauze available in the market, in addition to some axes, chisels, and hammers for craftsmen alongside the best way.

Though he had been on this world for 2 months and had lived within the cave within the mountains for fairly some time, he needed to admit that it was really insufferable to reside in such a draughty, damaged cave.

The previous proprietor of his physique was a wild youngster who grew up within the mountains and lived like a savage, consuming uncooked meat and ingesting blood, so he won’t have felt something unsuitable with dwelling such a tough life within the cave.

Nonetheless, Lu Yuan was an individual who had crossed over from trendy instances.

Though his standing earlier than crossing over was merely that of an abnormal individual.

So how did the fabric situations within the trendy period examine with these in historic instances?

Even abnormal folks immediately get pleasure from a wide range of materials sources that might not be misplaced in historic instances, or not less than on the stage of a rich landowner’s life-style.

For a pampered trendy man to adapt to life within the wilderness is likely to be bearable for a day or two, however who might stand it for a very long time?

“I’m bored with sleeping on a cover mat on the bottom day by day. I wish to sleep on a mattress, a gentle, cozy mattress. I desire a tea desk, a chair, a cupboard, and all the opposite facilities that I can get,” Lu Yuan stated, laughing as he thought in regards to the life he had been main today, unable to cease tears from welling up in his eyes.

He actually couldn’t perceive what the unique Lu was pondering.

Was it actually so arduous to make a mattress to sleep on?

Was spending on a regular basis laying a pores and skin mat subsequent to a hearth and sleeping on the bottom actually so nice?

Was he not afraid of catching chilly, getting rheumatism, or feeling the nippiness in his bones?

Though it appeared from the previous few days that his physique was not affected by sleeping on the bottom, and this behavior didn’t appear to have any dangerous outcomes.

However intuition, each psychologically and physiologically, made it not possible for Lu Yuan to simply accept this poor life situation.

So, now that he was within the metropolis and had cash in his pocket, he actually wouldn’t deprive himself of something.

Nonetheless, the cash he had was nonetheless a bit quick, so he determined to purchase instruments and make his personal furnishings, reminiscent of beds and chairs. It was not possible to purchase every thing.

Even when he wished to purchase, he would want somebody prepared to ship it.

Dayu Mountain was huge and stuffed with harmful wild beasts, and abnormal folks wouldn’t dare to enterprise into it.

So as a substitute of spending cash on impractical issues, it was higher to purchase instruments and do it himself.

Though there is likely to be a scarcity of different issues within the mountains, there was an inexhaustible provide of wooden.

After shopping for a pile of miscellaneous gadgets, filling greater than half of his basket, the 2 thousand cents Lu Yuan had simply earned have been nearly half spent.

He had 5 hundred cents left and deliberate to put it aside, utilizing it as a reserve fund simply as his former self did.

Certainly, his former self had a small vault, the results of his two years as a hunter, amounting to a complete of eight silver taels.

It took two years to save lots of eight silver taels.

Considering of his predecessor’s arduous life with the intention to get monetary savings, Lu Yuan felt a pang of sympathy in his coronary heart.

The lifetime of a hunter was too arduous.

The previous Lu, with the intention to get monetary savings, even lived like a wild man, consuming and dressing minimally. This wasn’t as a result of he loved being near nature or had a excessive stage of non secular cultivation.

All of this conduct was based mostly on a easy logic – save sufficient cash, then purchase a spouse.

The occupation of a hunter was too harmful, and one may very well be killed by a wild beast within the mountains at any time. Their common lifespan was fairly quick.

Furthermore, as a result of they didn’t have a registered standing, they have been unregistered residents, and there have been only a few channels to get an revenue.

For these with a correct standing, even when they have been laborers within the metropolis, they may earn one or two silver taels a month. In the event that they have been frugal, they may save 5 or 6 taels a yr.

However for a hunter, a gentle revenue of half a silver tael a month was already so much. Even when they have been frugal all yr spherical, they may at most save three or 4 taels.

With these situations, naturally good households’ daughters wouldn’t take a look at them.

So eager to discover a spouse for a hunter was simply wishful pondering.

The concept of passing on the household lineage is deeply rooted within the genes of each dwelling being and is an intuition.

To not point out the affect of tradition.

So the unique Lu, with the intention to marry a spouse, started getting ready two years in the past.

Since he couldn’t court docket a great household’s daughter and he wished to discover a spouse, the one method was to purchase one.

In line with the present market state of affairs, the acquisition of a spouse would value not less than sixty taels of silver. If it was slightly extra, over 100 taels was not not possible.

Given the unique saving pace of 4 taels a yr, it will take not less than fifteen years to save lots of sufficient cash to purchase a spouse.

By then, Lu would already be twenty-nine, quick approaching thirty.

In these instances of low life expectancy, by the point one reached thirty, they may even be a grandfather already.

“Working arduous for a complete lifetime, solely to take a spouse on the age of turning into a grandfather,” he stated.

Remembering the life plan of his unique physique’s proprietor, a posh feeling welled up in Lu Yuan’s coronary heart, and he didn’t know find out how to describe it. Ultimately, he simply sighed and stated, “How bitter.”
