Make sure the only thing you have in your rucksack is a hammer. Go to Moonlight Cave (near the doctor's office) and look for a hole in the ground somewhere. Go to it, and a message will appear asking if you would like to go in. Select "Yes"; you will be at sub-level 2. You should see some bluish crystals and some black stones. Hit all of the crystals with X. If you find some gold, rare ore, or stones, keep it. Fill your rucksack, then go to the stairs and exit the cave. Put all your finds into the Shipping Box. This trick works better with Lake Cave and if you only take rare ores and stones from there. Note: You will get low on energy and must find a way to restore it. Additionally, go up to the mountain every day and look for green medicine plants. They are worth 100G each. The purple ones are worth only about 35G.

Purchase an egg from Blue Sky Ranch for 120G instead of buying a chicken for 1200G. Just wait for the egg to hatch and the chick to grow.
