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

At the east end of Dahe Village, there is a dilapidated river temple.

By the time the young couple managed to clear out a clean space, spread out their bedding, and light the dry firewood, it was already dark.

Chen Changfan stared at the back of his wife who was silently making soup, and looked at the little face sleeping soundly in the cradle.

I feel a warmth in my heart that I have never felt before.

In his previous life, he had been a slave, a bachelor and a social animal all his life, but he had never experienced marriage and having children, so he never realized it.

This feeling of "a wife, children and a warm bed" is the greatest happiness in the world.

Unfortunately, now that I have a wife and kids, I’m still a bit far away from Rekengtou.

This dilapidated temple is leaking everywhere and is covered with cobwebs.

You can see the stars when you look up, but there are no mice when you look down.

——During the famine years, mice became a rare sight.

He looked around and felt that if the place was repaired a little, he could barely live there for a few days.

But it won't last for a few days.

When autumn comes, the chill at night is enough to catch a cold for the malnourished family of three.

The most urgent task is to solve the problem of food.

There was a severe drought in the north this year, and there were occasional rumors of people starving to death.

Qingshan County is located in Yongzhou in the south. The situation is considered good, but the disaster is getting worse.

The worst thing was that the Dawu Dynasty had been plagued by long-standing problems and the national treasury had long been emptied.

Taxes are getting heavier every year, not to mention that there is no money allocated for disaster relief.

In this world, people are struggling every day just to have enough to eat.

A strong laborer would go to a wealthy family to shovel the pigpen for a whole day, just to have a full meal and save some food for the family.

But even so, the famine became more severe day by day.

If you can't increase revenue, no matter how hard you try to cut costs, you will eventually run out of money.

Chen Changfan went to dig some earthworms and planned to go fishing tonight.

"Erlang, have a bowl of soup."

Shen Cuiyun handed over a bowl of steaming old turtle soup.

She was very thin, but there was a smile on her face, which was rare.

By the light of the fire, Chen Changfan took a closer look at his cheap wife.

Tsk! She's truly a beauty.

Oval face, peach lips.

Two curved eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, a pair of clear and bright eyes, a straight nose, and a full forehead.

As her eyes turn, she looks bright and beautiful.

She is beautiful, but it's a pity that she is a little dark and thin...

But just keep it indoors for a few days and apply some moisturizer on your skin, and you won’t even need to put on makeup.

Chen Changfan's gaze subconsciously moved downwards——

No matter how thin you are, you still have meat where it should be.

Seeing Chen Changfan staring at her, Shen Cuiyun's cheeks immediately flushed and she lowered her head even lower:

"Why do you look at me like that, sir?"

Shen Cuiyun's voice was soft and shy, and her face was blushing, which would confuse anyone who saw her.

"My lady is so beautiful, I can't get enough of her!"

Chen Changfan smiled shamelessly.

"Slippery mouth! I'm ignoring you!"

Shen Cuiyun, who had been educated in women's virtues since childhood, had never heard such straightforward love words. Her face suddenly turned red, and she pushed the bowl into Chen Changfan's hand and ran away.

Chen Changfan looked at his lovely wife, and although he had been a bachelor for many years, he couldn't help but feel a surge of passion in his heart.

With the sky and the earth as our roof and our home, wouldn’t it be a joy to do the things that a couple loves?

But he knew that their relationship was still a little stiff.

If I force myself...it's not impossible.

But it’s not cool enough.

Wait until the day when this girl comes up to me on her own initiative, then I will feel a sense of conquest.

Calming down his mind and reining in his desires, Chen Changfan lowered his head and took a sip of the soup.

Yue!

I almost vomited.

This old turtle soup is fishy and smelly, without any saltiness, and has a thick layer of grease floating on it, which makes your throat burn when you drink it.

"Don't blame me, Erlang. I'll go borrow some salt tomorrow."

Shen Cuiyun was always paying attention to Chen Changfan's expression. Seeing that he frowned and wanted to vomit, she immediately explained in panic.

Chen Changfan felt relieved.

Old turtle meat is extremely fishy and smelly. It is really impossible to swallow it without seasoning.

But salt was a rare commodity in ancient times, and condiments such as pepper and chili peppers were also uncommon.

Whatever meat the people ate, they just boiled it in plain water.

Even so, meat is a rare delicacy.

Chen Changfan suppressed his nausea and drank a few more mouthfuls of soup. Gradually, he got used to the taste of the old turtle soup and suddenly felt a warmth in his stomach.

He drank the soup, but he really didn't want to eat the old turtle meat.

He brought the bowl closer to Shen Cuiyun, only to find that there was only half a bowl of soup in her bowl, without even a piece of turtle meat.

Meat was a rare commodity in ancient times. Only the pillar of the family could eat it. Women were not qualified to eat meat.

Chen Changfan picked up the chopsticks and directly put the largest piece of meat in the bowl into Shen Cuiyun's bowl.

She was so surprised that she couldn't speak, and her bright eyes were full of confusion.

"I can't eat this meat. If you don't mind, you can eat it all."

dislike?

This is nutritious old turtle meat!

Even when she was making the soup, she was already drooling with greed.

But her good upbringing made her try hard to restrain herself.

In the past, all the meat in the house was eaten by the men. Even if she was busy all day, there would not be any meat in her bowl.

Now this man is willing to put the meat in his own bowl?

Shen Cuiyun's first reaction was that her man was possessed by an evil spirit.

Chen Erlang was not like this before. Not only did he do nothing all day, but he also ate a lot.

Not to mention leaving food for themselves, sometimes they even snatch my own food.

How could such a selfish person change his nature today?

Could it be that he was possessed by the monster in the water, intending to fatten him up and eat him?

Seeing that Shen Cuiyun was staring at him, Chen Changfan thought that she was afraid to eat, so he pushed Wan into her arms again.

"You are too thin, and you have to breastfeed your child. You should eat more meat."

He said I was too thin?

This was actually quite normal, but to Shen Cuiyun, it further confirmed her guess.

She didn't dare to take the bowl and stepped back in fear.

Chen Changfan had no idea that the woman had evil thoughts in her mind. He just thought that she was disgusted with the bowl he had used and refused to eat.

Throw it away if you don’t eat it!

The essence of the old turtle lies in the soup. As for the turtle meat that looks unpalatable, he doesn't want to eat a single bite.

It would be better to catch a few more fish and exchange them for some copper coins to buy some normal food.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Chen Changfan was about to pour out the meat in the bowl, Shen Cuiyun immediately snatched the bowl and poured all the meat into her own bowl with a painful look on her face.

"This old turtle meat is extremely fishy and smelly. It's really disgusting!"

Chen Changfan explained, but saw Shen Cuiyun bite off a piece of meat with a satisfied smile on her face.

It's chewy and leaves a lingering taste on your lips and teeth!

There was no food in her stomach, and the half bowl of turtle soup she drank was long gone. Now she could not help but chew on this piece of meat and it was so delicious.

After taking the first bite of meat, Shen Cuiyun couldn't stop eating.

It has been too long since she last had meat, and breastfeeding her baby consumes a lot of energy.

All those monsters and man-eating creatures, just go away and eat your fill first!

Seeing that his wife was eating happily, Chen Changfan pursed his lips, picked up his fishing rod and basket, and walked out of the temple.

Today I'm going night fishing in the Chiwei River!

Although he only cast one rod last time, he had a vague feeling that there were still many big fish in this turbulent Chiwei River.

This has to be connected very hard, right?

With anticipation, Chen Changfan couldn't help but quicken his pace.
