Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

When the distance between the two was less than one meter, Chen Changfan suddenly moved.

He suddenly spat out a lot of bubbles from his mouth, and his face looked a little hideous because he was exerting too much force.

The waist and back drive the arms, which are transmitted to the iron fork through the wrists. All the strength of the body bursts out in an instant and is poured into the iron fork in the hand.

call!

The iron fork, with its terrifying spiral force, instantly pierced through the turbid water and slammed fiercely into the giant mouth of the arapaima!

Iron Mountain Thorn!

The huge fish struggled in pain, shaking its body wildly.

Huge waves surged around, like an earthquake, large pieces of rubble kept rolling down, and the muddy Yellow River water rolled violently.

Mixed with a hint of scarlet blood.

That's the blood of the arapaima.

Chen Changfan stared at the huge fish shadow.

As long as the opponent continued to attack madly, he would jump into the turbulence at the bottom without hesitation.

But the arapaima seemed to have been hit in the vitals, and it turned its huge body around and swam away, quickly disappearing.

Chen Changfan carefully hid in the crevice for a while, until he was sure that the guy would not come back, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief.

The oxygen consumption in the previous battle reached a terrifying level. At this moment, he felt a little suffocated and planned to go up and take a breath.

He glanced down and saw that the big fish had indeed escaped far away, but there were a lot of small fish floating around. He just scooped up a few times and caught a big net of fish.

It is estimated that these small fish were hit by the tail of the arapaima just now and fainted for a short time.

After quickly floating up with the fishing net and reaching the shore, Chen Changfan still couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been dead.

If humans encounter an arapaima of that size in the water, there is almost no chance of escape.

If he hadn't hidden in the crevice in time, he would have had no room to maneuver.

Thinking back, the big blue dragon's snake head was eaten, the trap he had set was bitten, and even the old man Ding's sampan was overturned. It was probably all caused by this arapaima.

The villagers said that the water ghost was green, and they probably mistook the big moss-covered fish head for a water ghost.

"I'm lucky to have saved my life today, but I won't go in the water again unless I'm absolutely sure. Who could have imagined such a large arapaima would exist in the Akabane River?"

After retrieving the clothes wrapped in oilcloth and getting dressed, he brought the catch to the old reed marsh.

Lao Wei has been waiting here for a long time.

"Sorry to have kept Brother Wei waiting for so long."

Today's catch filled five wooden barrels, and they were almost full.

Old Wei couldn't help but praise him, "Brother Chen, did you go to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea today?"

Chen Changfan was too lazy to talk. He lay on the ox cart with his arms and legs spread out, feeling as if his body had been hollowed out.

I really used all my strength when I used the Iron Mountain Spear just now, otherwise how could I have thrown it into the big mouth of the Arapaima.

I don’t know if the big fish has the ability to spit out the iron fork?

If not, the fish will starve to death in a few days due to lack of food.

After arriving at the market, Chen Changfan sorted the fish into large barrels and continued his business.

Somehow, business is particularly good today.

Many people came to buy fish, and especially when they heard that the price of these fish had not increased, everyone paid readily.

If this happened on a normal day, there would definitely be several women who would bargain with him, but today, they were surprisingly much more generous.

After a little inquiry, I learned that prices are skyrocketing. The price of refined rice has risen to 20 wen per liter, and the price of pork has risen to 80 wen per catty.

Chen Changfan suddenly realized that everyone thought pork was too expensive and came here to buy fish as a substitute.

I sold nearly 100 kilograms of fish in the morning, and my income exceeded one or two taels of silver for the first time. If I sell more fish, shrimps and crabs later, I will probably earn another one or two taels of silver.

This speed of making money is simply terrifying.

In this market, there are businesses that can earn two taels of silver a day.

But there aren't many.

Since it is a business, there must be capital.

If you earn two taels of silver and deduct various costs, it would be good to have a profit of 200 coins.

But he makes almost a lot of money. After all, the fish are gifts from nature, and all he does is deliver them to customers.

Excluding various production tools and negligible transportation costs, the cost is less than one hundred coins.

Calculated this way, the return on investment of this fish stall business is terrifying.

Chen Changfan specially picked 20 of the largest female crabs. This was a takeaway order to be delivered to Yuanwai Mansion, so the quality must be top-notch.

He called a horse-drawn carriage and while the driver was loading the goods, he tied the crabs with straw ropes. Suddenly, a fat figure stopped in front of his stall.

The man, with a big belly, looked down at Chen Changfan with a pair of squinting eyes, and then glanced at the large wooden barrels next to him, "Boss Chen, this fish stall business is booming!"

"Master Qian, what brings you here? I have a small business and don't have anything good to offer you. These crabs are in season. If you don't mind, take a few home to try."

Chen Changfan knew that Qian Fangchang was the boss of this market, and he had to try his best to maintain a good relationship with him so that he could work here for a long time.

“Crabs are troublesome to eat!”

Director Qian did not take the crab handed to him by Chen Changfan, but snorted impatiently.

"I'm here to check on your business situation. Just cooperate and answer the questions."

Chen Changfan had never heard that he had to be questioned when setting up a stall in the market, but he was under the jurisdiction of the head of the market after all, so he had no choice but to obey the orders.

"Let me ask you, how many kilograms of fish did you sell today? What was your profit?"

Director Qian asked directly, and Chen Changfan couldn't help but frown slightly.

I have never heard of any neighborhood leader directly asking people about their daily income. This is obviously against the rules.

"Master, this is a small business. I haven't sold many fish in the whole morning."

Chen Changfan naturally couldn't tell the other party about his own profits. He just thought that the other party was here to exploit him, so he secretly stuffed a purse into the other party's hand.

The money in this purse is not too much, but not too little either. Twenty coins are enough to buy a pot of rice wine.

But the head of the Qianfang threw the money bag directly back. If Chen Changfan had not dodged in time, he would have been hit in the face.

He stood up slowly, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"You think you can fool me with these few coins? I don't think you are cut out for business! You might as well just take back your stall and forget about getting your 200 coins back."

As soon as Qian Fangchang opened his mouth, he wanted to take back the stall and not return the 200 wen interest. How could Chen Changfan agree so easily?

"Master, we signed a contract. I'm not operating in violation of regulations, and I'm not defaulting on interest payments. You have no reason to drive me away."

"I'm the head of the market, and I have the final say here. If I say you're going to get out, you have to get out immediately. In this market, I'm the boss, and if I say you're going to get out, you have to get out!"

As he spoke, several quick hands in class uniforms surrounded him menacingly, the threat in their eyes obvious.

The Kuaishou of this era is not the Kuaishou of later generations.

To put it bluntly, Kuaishou is a constable, but Kuaishou is not a high-end profession and is regarded as a lowly job in this era.

They rely on their official status and often enforce the law violently, which makes the people resentful.

With the support of his colleagues, Director Qian's eyes became even colder, and his tone revealed an unreasonable and overbearing attitude.

The purpose of his coming here today was to take back Chen Changfan's trap.

"Tell me, do you want to pack up and leave on your own, or do you want us to help you?"

The leader, the quick man with a mole on his mouth, took a step forward.

Chen Changfan glanced over and saw that those people looked arrogant and domineering, almost the same as the village ruffians he met this morning.

The fists in the sleeves were clenched secretly.

"What if I don't leave?"

Several quick hands looked at each other, with cruel smiles on their faces. Even the head of the Qianfang branch had a sneer on his face.

In this market town, no one dares to disobey me like this. Today, not only will Chen Erlang be kicked out, but he will also be severely beaten.

He gave the mole-faced Kuaishou a look, and the latter understood.

Several quick hands surrounded Chen Changfan while flexing their knuckles.

"Then you'll be fined if you don't eat the toast!"
