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

The villagers were shocked.

Everyone thought that Old Man Chen's family was the biggest weirdos in the village, but they didn't expect that Uncle Shi was no less weird.

But then again, with such a shameless person leading the way, the villagers didn't feel so uncomfortable selling fish, shrimps and crabs to Chen Lang.

So a group of people walked towards Chen Lang's house.

As soon as Chen Lang entered the yard, the group of villagers blocked the entrance tightly.

Li Xiuzhi came out of the house and was quite surprised to see so many villagers blocking the door with buckets in their hands.

Uncle Shi was the first to speak again, "Xiuzhi, don't just stand there, hurry up and get the scale, we're going to sell the goods."

Li Xiuzhi looked at Chen Lang, waiting for his explanation.

Chen Lang smiled calmly and said, "Two for fish, three for shrimp and crab, and seven for mud. I'll take it at this price."

Li Xiuzhi was confused at first, but then she was completely impressed by her man.

In less than a day, not only did they defeat their competitors, but they also cut the acquisition price in half.

Although there was some suspicion of being "evil-hearted", it was the villagers who were the first to act unjustly.

However, Li Xiuzhi was still a little worried. Chen Lang had lowered the price so much that the villagers must be resentful, but now no one else was willing to buy this thing.

When the next competitor appears, the villagers will inevitably abandon them again.

Doing so will also have another bad consequence, which is that the villagers will extremely hate Chen Erlang.

Originally, thanks to Qin's "help", Chen Erlang's reputation in the village had improved. After this incident, maybe the villagers would stand on Qin's side again.

There were too many people around at the moment, and Li Xiuzhi couldn't tell Chen Lang about this. She could only be patient for the time being and talk to Chen Lang about the interests involved after receiving the goods.

About a meal's time later, Zhuzi came to the door with two buckets of fish, shrimps and crabs.

After weighing, Chen Lang deliberately loudly quoted the final price.

When the villagers heard this, they realized that something was wrong. This price was three cents higher per catty than the previous purchase price.

Zhuzi also hurriedly reminded him: "Uncle Lang, you must have miscalculated. These two buckets of fish, shrimp and crabs are not worth so much money."

Chen Lang pulled up the corner of Zhuzi's clothes and put a handful of copper coins in. The clanging sound was quite touching.

"That's right, this is a reward for loyalty." Chen Lang said with a smile.

Zhuzi left happily, but the villagers who stayed at the scene were in an uproar.

"Chen Erlang, what do you mean?"

"Why can that little brat Zhuzi get a high price for his goods, but we can't?"

"You must give us an explanation today, otherwise we will ask the village chief to judge the matter! You are not the type to bully others."

"Fellow villagers, is it appropriate for you to do this?"

Chen Lang said calmly, "My fellow villagers, I just said that I paid a high price for Zhuzi's goods because he is loyal!"

"When you all abandoned me, only Zhuzi insisted on selling goods to me."

"He never abandoned me and never gave up on me, so naturally I have to repay him."

"A sage once said, 'Repay evil with good.' How do you repay good? Repay good with good, and repay evil with evil."

“There is no greater kindness than repaying a favor.”

The villagers suddenly felt a burning pain on their faces.

Chen Lang was finding different ways to scold them, saying they were disloyal.

But at the same time, the villagers also realized that Chen Lang was not heartless and would be good to whoever was good to him.

After realizing this, the villagers felt less resentful towards Chen Lang and instead felt a bit more guilty.

After Chen Lang bought the shrimps and crabs from Sun Yuwei and his daughter at the same price as Zhuzi.

The villagers were not only feeling guilty, but also filled with regret.

Of course, not everyone thinks this way. There are still a small number of villagers who think that Chen Erlang is a good-for-nothing. It is just that the fish, shrimp and crab business is now monopolized by him, so they have no choice but to sell it to him.

The next time someone comes to the village to collect fish, shrimps and crabs, this small group of villagers will still decisively abandon Chen Lang.

It was impossible for Chen Lang to guess what everyone was thinking, but even if he knew, he would not try to keep these people.

After seeing off the last villager who sold his fish today, Chen Lang closed the gate and prepared to start making tofu.

Before that, give the sugar man to Guoguo first.

As soon as I got home, I was busy with the harvest and had no time to take care of my daughter.

Fortunately, Guoguo now has Xiao Huihui as a playmate, so he won’t be bored.

The most difficult part of making tofu is preparing the brine; the other steps are simply hard labor.

Making tofu is considered one of the three most difficult jobs in ancient society, along with rowing a boat and forging iron. You can imagine how hard it is to make tofu.

This is also the reason why Chen Lang thought about buying an animal. Grinding the beans entirely depends on manpower, and the tofu made is only enough for his family at most. If he wants to supply it on a large scale, he must rely on external forces.

However, it is too early to think about these things now. Chen Lang has never made tofu before and has only watched some related teaching videos on the Internet.

It takes a lot of experimentation to make tofu.

Every household has a millstone. Chen Laojiu also has an old stone mill at home. After cleaning it, it can be used.

The couple worked until midnight, failing countless times, before finally making the world's first piece of tofu.

Chen Lang tasted it and it tasted the same as the tofu in his previous life.

"Oh my god, this is so tiring. From now on, the task of grinding beans will have to be left to others. We can't do it." Chen Lang sat on the stool, breathing heavily.

Although Li Xiuzhi was also tired, she was more curious. She looked at the white and tender tofu on the bamboo flute, poked it carefully a few times, and said, "Erlang, how did you come up with this?"

Chen Lang was stunned for a moment, then said vaguely, "I saw it in an ancient book."

Li Xiuzhi naturally would not believe such a hasty answer, but since Chen Lang refused to give a direct answer, she would not continue to ask further questions.

"Your back is bleeding again?" Li Xiuzhi noticed a red mark on Chen Lang's clothes and her voice became anxious. "Go lie down on the bed quickly. I'll change the dressing for you."

I didn't feel anything when I was busy just now, but now that Li Xiuzhi reminded me, I immediately felt a burning pain in my back.

Li Xiuzhi helped Chen Lang onto the bed, and after holding him up, she first wiped Chen Lang's back with clean water, then took out the golden wound medicine left by Xu Fei and sprinkled it carefully on the wound.

Chen Lang clutched the bed sheet tightly, and sweat poured down his face like rain.

Li Xiuzhi was so distressed that she asked, "Erlang, does it hurt badly?"

Chen Lang exhaled a few times and said, "Fortunately, I can hold it in."

Seeing Li Xiuzhi shedding tears, Chen Lang raised his hand to wipe her tears: "Xiuzhi, don't cry. Seeing you cry makes me sad too."

Li Xiuzhi grabbed his hand and made a bold move.

She leaned over and pecked Chen Lang on the mouth.

Although the whole process was as casual as a dragonfly skimming the water, a huge wave had already been set off in Chen Lang's heart.
