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

After some field investigation, Chen Lang took a fancy to this residential land near the stream.

Although the land around this residential plot is very barren and difficult to cultivate, even if it is cultivated, it will take more than a year to "fertilize" it, that is, to use human, livestock and poultry manure to nourish the land. Only after this process can the land be used to grow crops.

In addition to the time-consuming and labor-intensive process, fertilizer is also a big problem.

Nowadays, human, livestock and poultry feces are treasures. There is not enough land at home to use it, so how could I possibly lend it to Chen Lang?

That's right, borrow.

You have to pay it back later!

But "fertilizer" does not necessarily have to be human, animal and poultry feces. There are many other things that can be used as fertilizer.

Although this piece of land has various problems, its proximity to the stream is enough to offset all the disadvantages.

Being close to the stream means that Chen Lang can build a tap water system at the lowest cost.

If it is too far away from the water source, not only will the difficulty of building the tap water system increase, but various problems will also be encountered during use.

"Let's choose this one!" Chen Lang said, "Xiuzhi, how much money do we have left?"

Li Xiuzhi said, "About twelve taels."

Chen Lang said, "Then let's buy this piece of residential land first. No one should come to compete with us for the surrounding land. When I make money, I will buy these plots of land as well."

After returning home, Li Xiuzhi took the silver note and went to see the village chief.

When the village chief learned the purpose of Li Xiuzhi's visit, he was stunned.

Didn’t Chen Lang leave the house with nothing? How come he still has money to buy a residential plot?

Li Xiuzhi used the excuse she had prepared on the way and said, "I borrowed this money from my brother."

The village chief suddenly realized.

Although Li Xiaohu is not from this village, the village chief has heard of his ability to make money.

You know, when his wife was in confinement, she could eat a chicken every five days!

A wife from an ordinary family can only eat one crab every half a month during the confinement period, and most of the time she can only eat half a crab.

Li Xiaohu was able to make his wife stew chicken continuously during her confinement period, so his ability to make money is definitely amazing.

So it is reasonable for him to use the money to buy a residential plot for his sister.

"Have you chosen a place?" asked the village chief.

Li Xiuzhi told him the location and then said, "Village Chief, we don't have much money right now, just enough to buy a piece of land."

"Can you please leave the land around the homestead for us? When we save some money, we can buy it all together."

The village chief said, "Don't worry, no one wants the land around the place you chose."

"If anyone really wants to buy it, I will tell them that the land is theirs."

Li Xiuzhi expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Village Chief."

The village chief said, "No need to thank me. You and Erlang living a good life is better than anything else."

After Li Xiuzhi returned home and told Chen Lang the news, Chen Lang was also very happy and said, "The village chief is really an open-minded person. I feel even more sorry for him."

Li Xiuzhi: "Ah? What did you do?"

Chen Lang coughed awkwardly twice. "Nothing. I'm going to collect the crab pots and catch some fish for money."

He carried the bamboo basket woven by Li Xiuzhi on his back, put the new shoes made by Li Xiuzhi for him in his arms, and headed towards the river.

After arriving at the destination, they first dug out the wine jar buried in the soil and made a few rice balls with wine and threw them into the nest.

When the fish were about to hatch, Chen Lang began to sweep along the river bank, putting everything that could be exchanged for money into his bamboo basket.

When passing by the duck habitat, he made two traps to see if he could catch a male duck and take it back to be a male companion to the female duck.

After waiting for about half an hour, Chen Lang felt that the hair nest was almost ready, so he started moving the needle.

The first net didn't yield much.

This was quite normal, and Chen Lang didn't feel annoyed at all. After waiting for a few minutes, he logged off the second network.

When the net was lifted, the underwater movement became very loud.

In stock!

Although Chen Lang was happy in his heart, his movements became increasingly gentle.

If you draw the water out too quickly, most of the fish in the net will probably run away.

When the four corners of the fishing net emerged from the water, the entire fishing net became funnel-shaped, with about three-quarters of the middle part still in the water. With a splashing sound, the entire water surface began to boil like boiling water.

"rise!"

Chen Lang shouted softly and pulled up the entire fishing net in one go!

Good guy, really good guy!

The catch in this net bag must weigh at least fifty kilograms!

In addition to the standard four freshwater fish, there are also two old turtles!

Seeing this, Chen Lang's mouth corners almost stretched to his ears.

Move the fishing net to an open space away from the water and put the fish into different bamboo baskets according to their size.

As for the old turtle, we used water plants and vines to tie it up and then carried it away with our hands.

Although the old turtle is valuable, Chen Lang has no intention of buying it.

Xu Fei told Qin that letting Li Xiuzhi eat chicken stewed with old turtle once every two weeks was not just to scare her, but a very sincere suggestion.

Chicken stewed with old turtle is a very nutritious food. If you throw a small piece of old ginseng whiskers into it, it will be even more nourishing!

Li Xiuzhi and Guoguo both need these things very much.

So all the old turtles we caught were taken home and raised like ducks.

As for fish, shrimps, crabs, etc., the big ones are sold to Tianshangju, and the small ones are taken home to eat.

Next, Chen Lang moved it a few more times and filled all three bamboo baskets.

It’s a bit regrettable that except for the two old turtles caught at the beginning, no old turtles were seen in the following few nets.

There were no valuable things like snakes in the crab cage.

All the fish caught added together are estimated to be worth only a little over one or two taels of silver.

In the past, Chen Lang would have been very satisfied, but now with the pressure of building a house, Chen Lang feels that such a harvest is a bit meager.

But compared to the Air Force, this result is still acceptable.

He moved the bamboo basket to the official road, waited for a return carriage from the post station, paid ten cents for the fare, and got on the carriage to go to the county town to sell the fish.

The carriage from the post station would not enter the city, and Chen Lang had no way of carrying the three bamboo baskets to Tianshangju by himself, so he had to spend five cents to find an idle man to help.

I came to the back alley of Tianshangju and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was actually the owner of Tianshangju, which caught Chen Lang off guard.

"Hello, shopkeeper, I'm here..."

Chen Lang was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by the shopkeeper: "Hey, come over here and help me weigh this."

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, something happened at the restaurant. I'm really too busy to handle it. I'm sorry I can't serve you well. Please don't mind."

Chen Lang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Boss, go ahead and do your thing. Don't worry about me."

The shopkeeper left in a hurry.

After a while, the waiter came and started collecting the fish, shrimps and crabs.

Chen Lang took the opportunity to ask, "Little Brother, what happened in the store? I see the shopkeeper looks unhappy."

The waiter smiled bitterly and said, "The chef has been poached."
