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

The moment Shopkeeper Tong agreed to the price of one or two taels of silver, Chen Changfan knew that the lantern fruit would be a hot commodity.

So he only sold two.

First, they don’t want to expose their inventory and arouse the other party’s suspicion.

Secondly, the market for this thing is expected to rise, and it won’t spoil easily, so there’s no need to sell it in a hurry.

He sold the hare and pigeon and earned three strings of cash.

Earn 300 Wen a day!

This does not include the lantern fruit.

When he first opened the fish stall, he was so happy to make 100 coins a day, but now making 300 coins a day is nothing new to him.

There are many more good things in these vast green mountains than in the Chiwei River!

Not to mention the ginseng and medicinal herbs in the deep mountains, all kinds of ferocious beasts are also very valuable.

Once he gets used to the two-force bow, he can switch to a more powerful longbow and purchase more powerful arrows. Then he can hunt even tigers, leopards, humans, and bears.

With a faint expectation, Chen Changfan came to his own fish stall and watched from afar as the three people were busy in an orderly manner.

Seeing that the fish had almost been sold, he did not go up to join in the fun and just sat on the second floor of the teahouse.

While watching the employees working hard, I leisurely drank tea.

"It feels so good to be a hands-off boss!"

Most of the people in the teahouse were idle, and they loved to gossip when they had free time. Chen Changfan listened for a while and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The autumn hunt is coming soon. I plan to take my bow and arrow up the mountain tomorrow to get a feel for it."

"Brother Song, are you planning to participate in the autumn hunt this year? I heard that Master Chai has many skilled forest hunters under his tutelage."

"So what? Hunting depends on luck. If I come across a man-bear, I can even take down the leader."

"You'd better not run into a man-bear, or I'll have to pay for your wreath."

Then I heard the sound of teacups and stools being smashed.

"Have you heard? The bandits are coming again. Boss Shang is raising funds from all corners to assist the county government officials and soldiers in going out of the city to suppress the bandits."

"Suppress the bandits, suppress the bandits... I've been shouting for so long, but I haven't seen a single bandit on horseback. There are only refugees everywhere..."

"Keep your voice down! How dare you criticize such a powerful person?"

"So what if I'm discussing this? I only see the price of rice skyrocketing, now it's 45 wen per liter. I only see the people unable to pay the autumn tax, and the soldiers and officers robbing the people of their life-saving grain like bandits."

"Mr. Dong... stop talking now. Do you want to drag us into that prison with you?"

Then there was a long silence.

Chen Changfan paid for the tea, got up and went downstairs, feeling only helplessness about the world.

Natural disasters continue to occur, and man-made disasters will only continue to occur.

In this era, no one cares about the lives of the people.

The only way for him to avoid being swallowed up by the tide of this era is to continue to accumulate original capital and climb up step by step.

Arriving at the fish stall, Lao Wei was the first to report to the owner:

"Boss, today, the head of the Qianfang shop came to see you and said that the Wu family fish stall has closed down. He wants to ask if you want to take over. You can waive the interest for one month!"

Chen Changfan frowned. How could this Qian guy give him such a good thing?

He couldn't help but think of the rumor he had just heard in the teahouse. Shang Zhengren wanted to raise money for charity. Could it be that he wanted these vendors to pay according to their stalls?

That's really insidious!

The fame made the business owner alone earn money, but the money had to be paid by the merchants.

What a good calculation.

"If you come again tomorrow, just decline directly."

Chen Changfan chose to refuse directly.

"Boss, this is a great opportunity to expand. We've already sold all 350 kilograms of fish. Even if we double our size, we won't have trouble selling them!"

Seeing that the business is so good now, Lao Wei can't help but want to expand it quickly and stronger, and he doesn't care even if it makes him a little tired.

"Double it? The weather is getting colder every day, and the fish catch will only get smaller and smaller. Today I caught 350 kilograms, and tomorrow I might only catch 250 kilograms. Why do you have such a big fish stall? Are you saving it for the New Year?"

Chen Changfan woke Old Wei up with a few words. He rolled his eyes and thought that it was true.

Just now I was so focused on giving blind advice that I ignored the fact that winter was about to come.

It seems that my stupid brain is only suitable for killing and selling fish, and I can't be a fish stall owner.

"Boss, the noodle stall is making good money today. You kept your promise not to raise the price, and sure enough, we've had a lot more customers. We've already made two taels of silver today!"

Aunt Liu's results were encouraging, and Chen Changfan nodded silently in approval.

"Boss, this is the profit from today's catch, a total of eight taels!"

Old Wei also hurriedly handed over his wallet.

Chen Changfan gave each of them 35 big coins, and both of them were smiling happily.

Today, the business of the fish stall and noodle stall has finally broken through the daily revenue mark of ten taels.

His first hunting trip into the mountains was fruitful, and things were gradually getting better.

There are just some hidden dangers that need to be resolved.

Taking the two of them to the private room of Shiweizhai, they were no longer as awkward as when they first came. Aunt Liu told Chen Changfan about the important events in the village, and suddenly they talked about the old bachelor Sun San next door.

"Boss, it was a wise move for you to bring your wife and daughter to live in the city. The display of troops today was truly terrifying!"

Aunt Liu had a look of relief on her face, and it was obvious that something had happened.

The reason why Chen Changfan brought his wife and daughter to live in the city was mainly because he planned to seriously renovate the house.

If hail hits, the roof may collapse. It will be too late to rebuild it, so we can only reinforce it as much as possible.

And since the yard is full of vegetables, we also need to take some protective measures.

He didn't explain why he brought his wife and daughter to the city, but simply asked, "What are the soldiers doing? We have already paid the autumn tax."

"Which Sun San is it? Isn't Sun San your neighbor? He didn't go to pay taxes today, so the soldiers broke into the house and then..."

Aunt Liu suddenly retched and continued, "Then we found Sun San dead in the yard. It was said that he had been dead for several days..."

Sun San is dead?

Chen Changfan recalled silently. He remembered that when he went out in the morning a few days ago, he met Sun San picking up crab shells to eat at his doorstep.

How do you say death means death?

Could he have choked to death?

"Guess what? The coroner said Sun San swallowed a crab claw whole and choked to death!"

Aunt Liu built up the atmosphere for a long time, whetting the appetite of others, and then revealed the truth.

I just want to see the shocked expressions on other people's faces when they hear it.

But the boss just twitched his lips, then sat up straight with an expressionless face.

Huh? So calm? Is the way I said it wrong?

"You go on."

Chen Changfan recalled silently. He remembered that he had dumped some crab shells and crab claws outside the yard the night before.

Unexpectedly, it was eaten by these three Suns and choked to death.

"Those officers and soldiers didn't find anything valuable in Sun San's house, so they came knocking on your door, saying it was a routine questioning. But I think they just didn't get anything, and they're just unwilling to give up!"

When Aunt Liu said this, Chen Changfan's eyes turned cold.

The behavior of these officers and soldiers is almost the same as that of bandits.

If Cuiyun was at home at that time, she would probably be scared to death.

"and after?"

"Later, when the soldiers saw no one answered the door, they left cursing. After returning, I told my sixth son to keep an eye on your family. You should let Cuiyun stay in the city for a few more days. After all, the security in the city is better than in the village..."

"Well, thank Brother Liu for me. I'll need him to pay more attention to me in the future."

"Boss, that's a bit too formal..."

As he was speaking, the door was pushed open and Hu the Bricklayer came in, looking dusty. He handed a purse back to Chen Changfan and said,

"Boss, I have purchased all the wood you mentioned and we can start work tomorrow."
