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

Chen Lang was woken up after sleeping for less than four hours. He was actually very grumpy when he woke up.

But as we continued our journey, my grumpiness gradually wore away, and by the time we reached the river, I was completely exhausted.

Chen Lang was not in a hurry to prepare the crab cage, but first took out the needle net and prepared to catch fish.

I came to the place where I spread the bait yesterday and carefully put down the "needle net".

I had bad luck on the first network and caught nothing.

Chen Lang waited a little longer for the second net, and this time he got something.

The fish, shrimps, crabs and other miscellaneous items all added together probably weighed about seven or eight kilograms.

After an hour and a half, Chen Lang stopped surfing.

The reason was very simple. He had no strength left. His arms were sore and swollen. He probably couldn't even lift the net if he put it down again.

However, the harvest of this hour and a half was quite rich. The total weight of all the fish caught added up to several hundred kilograms.

But what excited Chen Lang the most was a carp that was golden all over but had a red tail.

This kind of fish has no value if eaten, but it is extremely valuable if used for viewing.

In addition, the golden carp with a red tail is not only used for viewing, but also has the meaning of gathering wealth in Feng Shui.

Many big businessmen like to raise such fish at home to bless themselves with abundant wealth.

After carefully placing the fish, Chen Lang immediately ran to collect the crab cages.

After the cage was lifted up, Chen Lang couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

In addition to crabs, shrimps and loaches, there are two snakes in the cage!

The value of the two snakes is comparable to that of the other river fish in the cage.

Chen Lang found a lot of aquatic plants, sealed the crab cage tightly, and then tied branches on the outside to ensure that the two snakes could not get out of the cage.

Then they grunted and carried several bamboo baskets filled with fish and shrimps to the official road.

Chen Lang was very anxious. He was afraid that the snake and the golden carp would die.

Both of these things are most valuable when they are alive, especially carp.

However, it seemed as if God was deliberately against Chen Lang. When he finally arrived at the official road, no car came for a long time.

Seeing that the carp's movements were getting weaker and weaker, Chen Lang was so anxious that his mouth was about to bubble.

Just then, Liu Dabi's carriage came swaying over.

Chen Lang waved excitedly, but Liu Dabi shook his head at him and pointed at the carriage.

The meaning is obvious, there is someone in the car.

Chen Lang became depressed again and could only let Liu Dabi pass.

Are we going to miss this golden opportunity to make a fortune?

Chen Lang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, deciding to take the crab cage and carp to the county town first, and come back to get the other catches after selling these two things!

In life, we must know how to make choices.

However, not long after walking, they saw Liu Dabi's car again.

"Chen Tongsheng, how many fish did you catch today?"

When the car arrived, Liu Dabi couldn't wait to ask.

Chen Lang was a little curious: "Why did you come back so soon?"

Liu Dabi smiled and said, "You looked anxious just now. You must have gotten some good stuff and are anxious to get into the city. So I asked the villagers on the carriage to exchange it for a post station carriage, returned their money, and came back to find you."

Chen Lang was quite touched and said, "I will reimburse you for all these people's travel expenses later."

Big Nose Liu said, "Okay, okay. First, let's see what you've harvested today."

Chen Lang said: "I guarantee it will surprise you."

After saying that, he took out the carp with a golden color and a red tail.

Liu Dabi's eyes widened. "Oh my god, Chen Tongsheng, your luck is incredible. You can even catch this kind of fish."

Chen Lang chuckled and said, "Luck, luck."

"Come on, help me load all the other catches into the car first. The temperature is getting higher and higher. If we delay any longer, the fish will die."

When they arrived at the river and saw several frames of fish being caught, Liu Dabi rubbed his eyes hard.

It's unbelievable that a scholar could catch hundreds of kilograms of fish every day. This is even more exaggerated than the stories told by storytellers.

A basket of fish would sell for at least a few hundred coins, and here are several baskets, which means two or three taels of silver.

If you count the golden carp in Chen Lang's hand, Chen Lang would have made a net profit of dozens of taels this morning!

I used to think that Chen Lang’s fishing was a job that depended on the weather, while I followed my father to do carpentry and drive a horse-drawn carriage, which meant I could have a stable income regardless of drought or flood.

Looking back now, I realize how wrong it was.

Even if they depend on the weather for their food, one meal can give them as much as I do in several years.

Moreover, carpentry work is tiring and hard, and it is easy to get injured if you are not careful. It is not as easy as fishing.

Of course, it may be difficult for other fishermen to catch fish, but it is definitely very easy for Chen Lang. After all, he is a scholar.

Secret recipe, there must be some secret recipe!

However, Liu Dabi's greatest strength is that he doesn't ask random questions. Although his curiosity is almost driving him crazy, he still chooses not to ask anything.

After carrying several baskets of fish onto the carriage, Chen Lang felt as if his whole body was hollowed out. He leaned against the carriage board and soon his mind wandered.

Liu Dabi also knew that Chen Lang was in a hurry, so he drove the carriage very fast and arrived at the county town in less than half an hour.

After entering the city, he ran into a fellow villager who was shopping. Seeing that Liu Dabi's cart was full of fish, he asked curiously, "So many fish? Where did you get them?"

Big Nose Liu said, "It belongs to the old fisherman from Hewei Village. Let me deliver it for you."

"This old fisherman is amazing. I really want to ask him for some fishing techniques tomorrow." The fellow villagers said enviously.

From the beginning to the end, this person never connected this pile of fish with Chen Lang.

After the man walked away, Chen Lang said, "Big Nose Liu, thank you."

Liu Dabi smiled and said, "I promised you."

In addition to his usual tight-lippedness, Liu Dabizi also thought that Chen Lang had finally turned over a new leaf and started doing legitimate business. If he ruined his chances of turning over a new leaf because of his own talkativeness, it would be a heinous crime.

The car stopped in the alley behind the restaurant. Chen Lang knocked on the back door of the restaurant and it was the owner of the restaurant who opened the door.

Chen Lang was a little surprised: "Boss, why are you opening the door yourself?"

The shopkeeper said cheerfully, "I saw you from a distance and was waiting for you at the back door."

"How many did you catch today?"

Chen Lang winked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I have something good today. I think you will be interested."

The shopkeeper asked, "Old turtle?"

Chen Lang shook his head: "This thing is even higher grade than the old turtle."

"Hurry up and take it out so I can see it!" After hearing what Chen Lang said, the shopkeeper also felt itchy and urged him to stop keeping the secret and show his cards quickly.

Chen Lang carefully took out the golden carp.

Under the sunlight, the scales on the carp are even more shiny.

The shopkeeper was so shocked that he said, "Oh my god, it's the God of Wealth fish!"
