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

I didn't see any fellow fish sellers, but I saw a fishmonger who was buying fish.

"If I sell it directly to the fishmonger, I'm afraid the price will be lowered, but this saves time."

He didn't want to shout all day long just for a few fish, so he simply picked up the fish basket and went straight to the fishmonger.

I poured out all the fish from the basket, and to my surprise, quite a few of them were still alive.

The fishmonger was middle-aged, wearing a straw hat, with a thin face and a fishy smell.

When he saw the big fish on the ground, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"This guy is really talented. He actually caught so many big fish!"

"Several people caught it together. I just carried it to this episode to sell."

Chen Changfan had already thought of his excuse.

If you say you caught all the fish yourself, it will not only fail to arouse envy, but will make people disloyal.

The middle-aged fishmonger did not comment on Chen Changfan's answer.

He quickly scanned the catch and said straight to the point:

"There are eighteen of them in total. I'll give you 40 copper coins."

Chen Changfan frowned. According to his expectations, these fish could be sold for at least 50 copper coins.

It's obvious that the fishmonger is deliberately lowering the price.

"At least 55! I only took 5 coppers for the errand, and the five of them said at least 10 coppers each."

Chen Changfan directly gave a quote and deliberately revealed that he was running errands and that five people were working together to fish.

"Five people can catch such big fish, so I think they must be experts in this field," the fishmonger's eyes turned and he nodded in agreement.

"Just do as you say. Come find me next time you catch a big fish!"

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

Chen Changfan weighed the string of copper coins in his hand and deliberately showed a satisfied smile.

The fishmonger saw all of this and had already labeled Chen Changfan as "simple-minded" in his mind.

……

With money in his pocket, Chen Changfan walked with more confidence.

He bought two white flour buns, spending 2 coins.

He didn't care about the hotness and ate one right away.

The feeling of fullness brought by the high carbohydrates made him look satisfied, and his stomach, which had been protesting, finally calmed down.

I spent 15 cents to buy two liters of rice.

The remaining 30 cents will be used for other purposes.

On the way home, Chen Changfan couldn't help but sigh that life was not easy. He spent 25 cents just to buy some necessities of life.

According to his psychological expectation, 10 white flour steamed buns should cost about seven or eight cents, but the price actually rose to 10 cents!

The price of rice also increased from six cents per liter to more than seven cents per liter.

It seems that the famine outside is getting worse and worse, and the most direct manifestation is the rising prices.

As for those delicious meat buns, roast chicken and pork cheeks, he didn't even dare to look at them.

White flour steamed buns are the food that can replenish physical strength the fastest.

Rice is a must-have food for their family these days.

With the hot steamed buns in his arms and thinking about the crucian carp soup at home, Chen Changfan couldn't help but quicken his pace.

In the noisy crowd behind him, there seemed to be an inconspicuous figure, watching from afar in the direction he left.

"It's in the direction of Dahe Village. It seems that it's easy to get big goods there..."

……

"Wife! I'm back! Look what I brought back..."

Pushing open the half-open temple door, Chen Changfan was eager to share his joy with his family, but found the temple empty.

The bedding was still warm and the firewood was still burning, but the big pot was gone and there was no one in sight.

He suddenly thought of the horse bandits causing chaos in the world, and his face turned pale.

Will not!

Nothing will happen!

He tried his best to comfort himself, but his expression gradually became gloomy.

Just as he was getting panic-stricken, a loud baby cry came from a distance.

He immediately recognized that it was Luoluo's crying.

The direction of the crying was exactly in Dahe Village.

He picked up a piece of wood and rushed out, his eyes so angry that they almost spit fire.

Who on earth is this son of a bitch who dares to bully his wife and children?

He ran all the way and finally caught up with him in an alley.

Shen Cuiyun was holding the crying Luoluo in her arms, with one hand tightly holding a familiar big pot.

On the other side, Chen Changqing hugged the big pot and cursed fiercely, "Let go, you damned chicken! Are you so bold? How dare you steal my fish soup! If you don't let go, I'll beat you to death!"

Shen Cuiyun's strength is no match for Chen Changqing's.

Seeing that this big pot of crucian carp soup was about to be snatched away, I was so anxious that I almost cried.

"You stole it from us! And you're trying to turn the tables on me! This is the crucian carp Erlang spent the whole night fishing for, and I won't let go no matter what!"

Chen Changqing was furious when he saw that his sister-in-law, who had always been hardworking and never uttered a word, actually dared to talk back to him today.

"Damn you sick chicken! This pot belongs to our Chen family. Who allowed you to use it to make soup?"

"This is clearly the pot that was assigned to Erlang, how come it became yours..."

Shen Cuiyun was anxious and angry. After a fierce struggle, she almost couldn't hold Luo Luo in her arms, but how could she dare to let go?

This is the only iron pot in the house. If Erlang comes back and finds that she lost the pot, he will probably be beaten.

And there was the fish soup, but she had worked so hard to make it all morning, how could she let it be taken away from her?

"I said this pot is mine, so you dare to talk back? And this bastard is crying and making me upset! Why are you crying here?"

As he spoke, Chen Changqing was about to reach out to grab Luoluo. Shen Cuiyun was so frightened that her face turned pale and she backed away repeatedly while holding Luoluo.

But because of this, the iron pot in his hand was snatched away by Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing finally succeeded and immediately laughed triumphantly while holding the iron pot.

This big pot of crucian carp soup is enough for him to have a full meal.

And I also got an extra iron pot for free, which is really a good deal.

Shen Cuiyun watched the fish soup about to fall into someone else's mouth, and tears of heartache fell from her eyes.

Can you not feel bad?

That was the fish soup she had carefully prepared all morning, but in order to wait for Erlang to come back and eat together, she didn't even drink a sip of the soup!

At this moment, she really hoped that a big rock would fall from the sky and smash Chen Changqing, the shameless thief, to death.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking air. A stone flew over and hit Chen Changqing's forehead with incredible precision. The force was so strong that it directly smashed his head and caused bleeding.

"Who is the damned one who threw the stone?"

Chen Changqing looked up while cursing and saw a familiar figure slowly appearing at the end of the alley.

Isn’t that the cowardly second brother who was just kicked out of the house?

Was it him who threw the stone just now?

Chen Changfan brushed the dust off his hands, picked up another stone, and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.

It seems that this perfect fishing skill is still useful.

It is amazing how accurate it is to throw stones with a casting rod.

"I thought it was someone else's manure pit, but it turns out it's you with your foul mouth."

Chen Changfan flicked his wrist, and the stone hit Chen Changqing's mouth accurately, knocking out his front teeth.

"Since this front tooth is useless, forget it!"

His front teeth were knocked out and Chen Changqing howled like a slaughtered pig.

He didn't even bother to carry the big pot and went home crying to find his parents.

"Dad! Mom! That loser Erlang...he hit me!"
