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

Zhu Shan had dinner at Guhong Building and was about to go to Chen Lang's house when he saw Chen Lang walking down from the second floor.

The two walked side by side, and Zhu Shan was deeply moved.

Just as Chen Lang was about to speak, a sedan stopped in front of the two of them.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and a beautifully dressed woman stepped out of it. She exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Zhu, it really is you."

"It's hot this afternoon. If you two gentlemen have nothing to do, would you be so kind as to accompany me to the teahouse up ahead to chat and rest for a while?"

Chen Lang looked at Zhu Shan with a smile. Zhu Shan shrugged helplessly, bowed to the girl, and politely declined her invitation.

The girl was straightforward and didn't insist when the invitation failed. She just bowed and got back into the sedan chair.

After the sedan chair drove away, Chen Lang smiled and said, "Brother Zhu is really a dashing man."

Zhu Shan did not think this was something to be ashamed of. Instead, he felt a little proud and responded with a smile: "She has remembered it after having met her a few times."

"If Mr. Chen is interested, we can go to the teahouse with her and sit there for free. If you can write her a poem, even just a few words, this girl will offer herself to him."

Chen Lang waved his hand: "With Brother Zhu's talent and reputation, there should be quite a few girls who would offer themselves to him."

Zhu Shan said, "There are indeed quite a few, but their level is just so-so... However, if Master Chen is willing to reveal his identity, I believe even a girl of the caliber of the Four Great Masters would be willing to offer herself to him."

"Master Chen, do you still remember Miss Qimeng?"

Chen Lang asked, "The one from Tingxue Tower?"

Zhu Shan nodded. "She admires Master Chen so much. If Master Chen is willing to write a poem for her, I can't guarantee we can sleep together, but kissing her is definitely a no-brainer. Haha."

It was also during this period that the relationship between the two sides made rapid progress, so Zhu Shan dared to play such a "harmless" little joke with Chen Lang.

The beautiful woman uses the talent of the talented man to become famous, and the talented man also uses the beauty's fame to support himself.

Every year, the Oiran competitions held in various places not only select the Oiran, but also produce many excellent works.

With Zhu Shan's status, if he wrote a poem for that woman, it would raise her fame by several levels.

"Mr. Zhu, I heard that you wrote a poem for last year's top courtesan Cheng Xiaoxiao, and that's how she became the top courtesan? Is that true?" Chen Lang asked curiously.

Zhu Shan was surprised: "You know all this?"

Chen Lang said, "After the Oiran Contest started, similar rumors were spread all over the streets. Even if I didn't want to hear them, they would still get into my ears."

"I'm just curious, were you at Linshui last year?"

Zhu Shan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "No, I was in Qinzhou Prefecture at that time."

"The Oiran competition is also a competition between talented people. Last year, when choosing the Oiran, Ning Zhongce, the top talent in Linshui, supported Ye Xiaoyu. And a friend of mine hopes to help Cheng Xiaoxiao become the Oiran."

"My friend claims that his talent is not as good as Ning Zhongce's, so he came to Qinzhou Prefecture to find me half a month in advance, hoping that I can write a few poems for Cheng Xiaoxiao."

"At that time, I was quite arrogant and looked down on Ning Zhongce, the so-called talented scholar who flaunted his power in the county town. So I agreed to my friend's request and wrote several poems."

"It wasn't until I came to Linshui County this year that I learned that the person with the best chance of becoming the top courtesan last year wasn't Cheng Xiaoxiao or Ye Xiaoyu, but Qi Meng from Tingxue Tower."

"It's just that the Ma family is relatively low-key and didn't invest too many resources in this area, so Cheng Xiaoxiao finally took advantage of it."

"But I heard that Cheng Xiaoxiao's life wasn't very good after she became an oiran... Hey, I hope she doesn't hold a grudge against me."

Chen Lang said, "There are gains and losses, so Mr. Zhu, don't worry too much."

Zhu Shan adjusted his mood and said, "The above situation will not happen this year."

Chen Lang asked: "Why?"

"With Master Chen like a mountain pressing down on us, who would dare to act rashly?"

"These people are both afraid that Master Chen will take action and hoping that Master Chen will take action." Zhu Shan laughed loudly.

Chen Lang was helpless: "Am I that scary?"

Zhu Shan said: "Not to mention the terrifying talent of "fourteen poems for a cup of tea", just the one and a half lyrics written by Mr. Chen in Linshui County are enough to overshadow most of Dayan."

"By the way, Master Chen, is there a woman you'd like to support?"

Chen Lang said, "No... Oh, if Xie Qinghuan wanted to run for the title, I could support her. But unfortunately, Miss Xie has no interest in the oiran."

Zhu Shan said, "It's a pity indeed. With Miss Xie's talent and beauty, and Mr. Chen's poetry, she would definitely be an easy choice for the otaku."

We chatted all the way and arrived at Chen Lang's home.

Zhu Shan called Guoguo and several other little girls, switched to teaching mode, and began to teach them to read.

Chen Lang came to the door of a remote hut in the backyard.

"Little Huihui!" Chen Lang shouted.

Xiao Huihui came running over in response.

Chen Lang said, "Guard the door and don't let anyone in."

Little Gray: "Ouch!"

Chen Lang pushed the door open and put on shoe covers first, then washed his hands, put on special gloves and a mask, and finally put on a white coat.

Although the last attempt to develop white sugar failed, it gave Chen Lang a new inspiration.

That means you can pick up the experiment again.

When I was in my hometown before, I had only been drawing and recording. I had a full understanding of theory but lacked practice.

Now that you have time, you can pick up practice as well.

Of course, Chen Lang did not expect to create many "chemical products" through these small experiments, but at least some things could be produced through experiments.

For example, some kitchen seasonings, such as MSG, chicken essence, etc.

For example...poison.

After being targeted by the Imperial City Bureau, Chen Lang has actually been feeling uneasy, always feeling that something big will happen at some point in the future.

At the same time, Zhu Sui'an was seriously injured. When he returned to Linshui, he would be embarrassed to ask him for his release in the short term.

What's more, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. Instead of passively waiting for others' help, it is better to take the initiative and give yourself some insurance.

Get some poison, roll it into balls and carry them with you. If you are caught one day in the future, having these poisons will increase your chances of escaping.

Making poison is very risky, so Chen Lang was very careful in every step of the experiment, for fear that if he was not careful, he would not be able to develop the poison before he killed himself.

After spending almost two hours in the lab, Xiao Huihui's cries were heard outside, followed by Zhu Shan's voice: "Master Chen, I'm leaving now. Will you come with me to see the Oiran show?"

Chen Lang replied, "Wait a moment," then carefully covered the experimental vessel. He immediately opened the door and said, "Mr. Zhu, I won't go with you. I'm taking my wife and daughter there tonight."

Zhu Shan smiled and bowed, saying, "Okay, I'll take my leave now."

Chen Lang said, "It's not convenient for me here, so I won't see you off."

"No need, Master Chen, go ahead and do your thing. Maybe we can meet on the street tonight." Zhu Shan waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

After Zhu Shan left, Chen Lang also finished the experiment. After taking a shower, he prepared to take his wife and daughter out for a walk.

However, what Chen Lang did not expect was that Li Xiuzhi refused and even disagreed with Chen Lang taking Guoguo out on the street.
