Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Li Xiuzhi burst into laughter and said with emotion in her heart.

Yes, no matter what this person in front of me becomes, he is the only man for me, Li Xiuzhi.

After hearing this, Guoguo blinked and said, "Daddy, I am your woman."

The couple were both stunned, and then burst into laughter.

Li Xiuzhi pinched Guoguo's cheek and said, "Little girl, don't talk like an adult. You are daddy's daughter! Do you understand?"

Guoguo said vaguely: "Oh~~"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Actually, Guoguo is not wrong. You and mother are the two most important women in Daddy's life."

Guoguo jumped up happily: "Mom, did you hear that? Daddy said we are the most important people to him."

Li Xiuzhi held her daughter in her arms, fearing that she would fall to the ground due to excessive excitement.

"Okay, okay, I know you're happy, but don't jump around too much. Be careful the bed board breaks and we'll have to sleep on the floor."

Chen Lang wiped Li Xiuzhi's feet with a towel and helped her put on her shoes. He said, "Speaking of the bed, I'll go find Liu Dabi and ask him to make a bed for us someday. It's time to retire this shabby bed."

After saying that, he looked around again and said, "Also, it's time to change this house. It's damp and humid, which is not conducive to the growth of fruits."

"But this requires money, and I have to keep working hard."

Li Xiuzhi said, "It's good as it is now. Don't be too hard on yourself."

Chen Lang said, "I owe you two too much. From now on, I will make up for it one by one."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "I'm going to go to the river again and see if I can catch a couple of fish or some duck eggs. We'll have a snack tonight."

Li Xiuzhi hurriedly wrapped up the meat bun that Guoguo hadn't finished eating and stuffed it into Chen Lang's arms: "Be careful, Guoguo and I will wait for you to come back."

Chen Lang nodded vigorously. As he was about to set off with the bamboo basket on his back, he suddenly remembered something. He took out a few pieces of silver from his waistband and stuffed them into Li Xiuzhi's hand: "Hide it well."

Li Xiuzhi's eyes suddenly widened.

It was a pile of copper coins last night, but it turned into small change today.

This span is too big.

By the time Li Xiuzhi came to her senses, Chen Lang had disappeared.

Coming to the river again, Chen Lang first cleared the weeds near the fishing spot so that he wouldn't be afraid of Guo Shanfeng hiding in there and attacking him.

Then it was the same old process, hanging the bait, casting the rod, and lifting the stone to press it down.

Unless it is a giant creature weighing more than ten kilograms, it is impossible to drag the fishing rod away.

Chen Lang went to find the duck's nest with peace of mind.

However, they didn't find the duck's nest, but instead discovered another treasure.

Houttuynia cordata, also known as fish mint.

Things that most people can't get used to eating are the ultimate delicacy for Chen Lang.

However, if you want Houttuynia cordata to taste good, you need an extremely important seasoning, which is chili pepper.

Without chili peppers, the cold-boiled Houttuynia cordata would lose its soul.

As for chili peppers, they were not available in this dynasty.

Therefore, Houttuynia cordata was mostly used as a medicinal herb in this dynasty.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, stewing crucian carp with houttuynia cordata is a magic weapon for increasing lactation.

If a breastfeeding woman has no milk, she can have a bowl of Houttuynia cordata and crucian carp soup to produce milk on the same day.

However, Chen Lang had no idea whether this theory was true or not. He had only seen it on the Internet. After all, he was a single man in his previous life.

But since this thing was passed down from our ancestors, it must have some logic. I should collect it first, and then take it to the town to ask the herbal medicine shop if they will accept it.

If the price is high, you can collect more in the future. If the price is too low, you can occasionally take some home for yourself.

After digging about four or five pounds of Houttuynia cordata, Chen Lang continued to look for the duck's nest.

Finally, his hard work paid off and he found one.

There are no ducks in the nest, they must have gone out to look for food.

"Brother Shuiya, I'm sorry. My daughter's nutrition is more important. Please give birth to a few more." Chen Lang muttered to himself while picking up duck eggs.

After the trip, I gained a lot.

A total of fifteen duck eggs.

It’s enough for the mother and daughter to eat for half a month.

Chen Lang cleared out all the duck nests along the way. In fact, he should have left some seeds for the ducks so that they would not move away easily.

But the problem is, if Chen Lang doesn't pick them up, other people in the village will.

Rather than giving others a bargain, it is better to give yourself a bargain.

With a basket full of catch, Chen Lang returned to the fishing spot.

The fishing rod is constantly shaking, obviously it is loaded!

Chen Lang hurried over, grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it hard. It felt very heavy in his hand.

"What a big thing! It's so beautiful!" Chen Lang's heart was filled with joy, and he began to compete with the "giant" under the water.

Although the fishing tools were very simple, just a bamboo pole and sewing thread, but as a veteran angler, although most of the time he came up empty-handed, Chen Lang's skills were still impeccable. After a struggle, he successfully lifted the giant fish out of the water.

Seeing the "giant thing" biting the fishhook, Chen Lang went from being excited to being ecstatic!

The thing struggling under the fish hook was a turtle weighing nearly two kilograms!

Commonly known as turtle!

I didn’t expect there would be such a treasure in the river. I’m rich!

The value of soft-shelled turtle is definitely among the best among river seafood, even among the top three.

This thing is full of treasures, and like loach, it can also be related to aphrodisiac theory in traditional Chinese medicine.

The Chinese gentlemen have an almost perverted obsession with aphrodisiacs. Why were pangolins endangered in the previous life? Wasn't it because of the legend that pangolin scales can enhance male sexual function?

Some netizens even joked that if they want to get rid of the major invasive species in the country, such as the golden apple snail and the scavenger, all they need is a few Chinese medicine authorities saying that these things have aphrodisiac properties, and then middle-aged men in the country will be able to eat these invasive species to extinction.

Although these words have a certain degree of joking tone, they are enough to illustrate how attractive aphrodisiacs are to Chinese men.

This is the case even for modern people, let alone in ancient times.

Chen Lang felt that this two-jin turtle was worth no less than a mountain peak!

Looking up at the sky, he saw that it was still some time before the sun set, so Chen Lang decided to go to the county town again to sell the turtle.

Although they could keep it for themselves, for Chen Lang's family at this stage, eating soft-shelled turtle is too luxurious and far less cost-effective than selling it for money.

Because the load was not heavy, even if he didn't catch a ride on the road, Chen Lang still took less time than before to reach the county town, and then went straight to the restaurant.

When the shopkeeper saw Chen Lang coming again, he guessed that he probably got some good stuff, so he warmly welcomed him to the backyard. After Chen Lang took out the soft-shelled turtle, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up instantly.

"Hey, this is good stuff."

"Little brother, you are quite capable."
