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

After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Erlang rode away on his pony.

Looking at the boss's handsome back, the three people sitting on the ox cart swaying slowly couldn't help but feel envious.

"You say the boss is so rich, why does he buy a donkey to ride on?" Aunt Liu said she couldn't understand the world of rich people.

"That's a horse, it costs several taels of silver." Old Wei couldn't help but correct.

"The horse is not a good one, but the owner is a really good man..." Hu the bricklayer sighed.

If Chen Changfan heard what the three said, he would probably pull them aside to have a good lecture on what an authentic Yunzhou pony is, what a mountain road king is, and what an all-terrain small steel cannon is.

Since he decided to build a shelter on the mountain, he naturally needed some leg strength, and a pony was the best choice.

If a mountain merchant saw this dwarf horse, he would buy it even for ten taels of silver.

After all, this short horse is as good as two big horses when running on mountain roads.

Chen Changfan couldn't help but feel secretly proud when he thought that he had bought the dwarf horse for only six taels and five cents.

"It's a pony I only have. Otherwise, if I could get a team of horses and travel north and south to do business, I would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life."

Of course, Chen Changfan was just thinking about it.

He had been hearing about bandit troubles outside recently, so he didn't dare to go out in the short term.

After a while, the pony arrived at Dahe Village with a clattering sound, and Chen Erlang led the horse into the yard.

"Erlang, is this the horse you bought?"

Chen Erlang patted the horse's head and nodded with some pride.

Shen Cuiyun was still worrying about tomorrow's autumn tax when she suddenly saw her husband coming back from selling a horse. Her face immediately became unhappy.

She suppressed her distress and asked, "How much silver did it cost?"

"It's only six ounces and five cents. Isn't it worth it?"

Chen Erlang saw that Shen Cuiyun's face suddenly became ugly, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

"Don't worry, my lady. We have more than enough money for the autumn tax!"

He tied up the pony and pulled Shen Cuiyun into the house.

Shen Cuiyun even suspected that she might have heard it wrongly.

The family had just bought a sampan and had less than five taels of silver left. But today, my husband spent so much silver to buy a horse.

It’s good enough that there is no famine, but you actually tell me that the money from the autumn tax is more than enough?

How much money did he make that day?

Chen Changfan took out his purse and threw it on the table. The clattering sound didn't sound like copper coins.

Could it be silver?

When Shen Cuiyun opened it, she gasped.

It’s really silver!

There were more than twenty pieces of silver, and even a silver ingot!

"So much silver? I'm afraid it's at least seventy taels!"

Shen Cuiyun felt that her brain was a little slow to react.

Isn't my husband a fishmonger? Can he make seventy taels a day selling fish?

"Is it the giant bony fish? I didn't expect it to be so valuable!"

Shen Cuiyun immediately realized that the giant bony fish her husband caught this morning was still a little scary when she thought about it.

Chen Changfan nodded, then smiled and took out the silver bills from his arms and placed them on the kang table.

Shen Cuiyun was dumbfounded. What was this? A banknote?

She picked up the banknote and looked at it several times, but still felt it was unreal.

Five hundred taels!

She had never seen so much money in her life!

"Am I dreaming? Ouch!" Shen Cuiyun pinched her thigh to confirm that she was not dreaming.

But this is too sudden!

The day before yesterday, I was still worried about not being able to collect the ten taels of silver for the autumn tax, but today my husband actually brought home more than five hundred taels of silver.

When I think about how I felt unhappy when I saw my husband buy a horse just now, I really shouldn’t have done that!

Seeing his wife completely overwhelmed by the money, Chen Changfan couldn't help but want to laugh.

He was a little embarrassed just now, but now he is grinning from ear to ear.

How can I make my wife happy?

It's very simple, just give money.

Of course, this does not mean that Shen Cuiyun is a woman who loves money. On the contrary, it is because she knows about the Gu family that she is anxious and confused.

"Erlang, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have given you such a harsh look. I thought..."

Shen Cuiyun lowered her head and said a little embarrassedly.

"You and I are husband and wife, why do you have to say such things?"

Chen Changfan hugged the blushing lady and was about to get close to her, but Shen Cuiyun gave him a glare and said, "I'll go cook for you."

"No need to cook, I've already eaten." Chen Erlang took out an exquisite food box and placed the food on the kang table. "This is for you. Eat it while it's hot."

"Is this...the food in the restaurant?" Shen Cuiyun looked at the dishes covered in rich oil and sauce, and couldn't help but feel hungry.

"Try the cooking of Shiweizhai."

In Chen Changfan's opinion, the chef's cooking skills were average, but for Shen Cuiyun, who had never been to a restaurant, this meal was simply a Michelin meal.

While Shen Cuiyun was eating, Chen Changfan took out the scales and bones of the giant bony fish, intending to soak them in clean water to remove the fishy smell. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a strange-looking fish in the bucket in the house.

[Obtained Otter Mammoth (Purple Quality), Encounter Point +1]

"Is this... an otter mammoth?" Chen Changfan was a little unbelievable.

"Well, the spiritual fish I caught today was caught by Brother Yusheng." Shen Cuiyun said vaguely while chewing the food.

Chen Changfan couldn't help but be a little surprised. He had never seen this fish before, but it was actually caught by the two brothers.

Now that his family is well off, he doesn’t buy the precious fish he catches, but chooses to eat it himself.

Perhaps because his martial arts skills have improved a lot, Chen Changfan has been feeling deficient in energy and blood recently, getting hungry easily and especially wanting to eat meat.

But eating ordinary fish is not enough. Only by eating precious fish will you feel refreshed all over, as if your energy and blood are much more vigorous.

No wonder warriors like to eat redtail. The spiritual fish can really replenish qi and blood and strengthen muscles and bones.

"Brother Yusheng is quite capable. He always comes up with a big bucket of snails." Shen Cuiyun paused, "Of course, my Erlang is the most capable."

The villagers usually don’t catch any spiritual fish. Today, they must have been attracted by the blood of the giant bony fish. Although they brought back a large bucket of fish blood, a large amount of it was still spilled into the river. It was probably caught by the two brothers by accident.

"We'll continue collecting fish tomorrow. I think we'll find some spirit fish."

"Yeah, I'll definitely keep an eye on it."

Chen Changfan took a basin of fish blood, poured it into the bait and soaked it, which became the best bait, which could be used to catch spirit fish.

He then cleaned the fish scales and bones and roasted them over the fire to remove excess moisture.

The sharp knife cut through the fish intestines, and Chen Changfan used the tip of the knife to lightly jump away, and he actually turned out several pieces of broken human bones.

After collecting the skeleton in a small wooden box, he keenly discovered that one of the leg bones had obvious callus.

"Poor old Ding, I will send you back to Dingjiawan tomorrow so that you can rest in peace."

Those who drown are those who know how to swim.

Chen Changfan is also a fisherman. He knows how dangerous the water is and how difficult fishing is.

"I have inherited your fish stall and precious book. Killing that giant bone fish today can be considered as revenge for you."

After Chen Changfan finished dealing with the bones, he returned to the house in a somewhat depressed mood. Shen Cuiyun seemed to have noticed something strange about her man, and she threw herself into his arms, warming Chen Erlang's heart.

Feeling the softness and warmth of jade in his arms, he picked up the charming lady with seductive eyes.

call!

The oil lamp was gently blown out.
