"A foreigner again? Are these foreign priests more effective than our ancestors?" Mother asked with some doubts.

"Well, mama, what the foreign priests say makes sense, so we have to listen. Look at how good their health is. They just need to pay attention to taking care of themselves. In fact, it's very simple. The most important thing is persistence."

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Chen Tianhua became an oral hygiene promoter.

"..."

…

Since ancient times, Jiangnan delicacies have often focused on "freshness", such as saury, pufferfish, sturgeon, Taihu Sanbai, etc. in the Yangtze River Basin.

In inland lakes, they are symbolized by "Huxian" or "River Xian".

What people call lake fresh food is mainly shrimp, fish and crab.

Freshness and aliveness have always been twin brothers in fine delicacies. The two are inseparable. In order to pursue freshness one-sidedly, people require these creatures to be alive and kicking before putting them into the pot.

Pufferfish is highly poisonous, and its liver contains irreversible fatal toxins. This is common knowledge throughout the ages.

But why do so many people still risk their lives to eat puffer fish every year? It’s just that they pursue the so-called “freshness” too one-sidedly, and they tend to be a bit paranoid.

Crystal clear green-shelled prawns are the “freshest” delicacies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. They are rare in the market. They are a delicacy that only rich and prestigious people can afford because they are willing to spend such money.

price.

In the ten days before and after the summer planting, Chen Tianhua got up at five o'clock as usual, took the two sisters to fish for shrimps, and went to touch river clams by himself when he had time in the afternoon.

Every time I catch shrimp, I catch about ten kilograms, sometimes seven or eight kilograms, and as many as twelve or three kilograms. Every time I catch a good harvest, I can sell them at a good price.

Wild shrimp fishing also requires frequent changes of venue. No matter what kind of small animals they are, they have their own inherent warning signals.

Therefore, the path for fishing for wild shrimps is getting farther and farther. Due to the long distance, half of the time is wasted traveling back and forth on the road. The efficiency is not high, the physical strength is high, and the daily harvest is limited.

Although it would be more than enough to pay off the Fan family's debts before winter, my mother said that the family still had other debts.

It's just that most of these creditors are relatives. Generally, in situations like this, they will not come to collect debts.

As the saying goes, a debt-free life is light.

On the other hand, debt is always a stone weighing on my heart, so heavy that I can't breathe.

You can imagine how heavy the stone weighed on my mother's heart.

Chen Tianhua's goal is not to keep the debt in his mother's heart. He wants to start with aquatic resources, gradually accumulate some primitive resources, and then develop them.

The Henghu inland river at the doorstep belongs to the residential area and is polluted. The fish and shrimp in the inland river are often caught by nearby villagers with fishing nets, and the river mussels can hardly be touched, and the rest are just inconspicuous dregs.

For truly crystal-clear green-shelled prawns, you have to fish in the river outside Henghu Lake, or go to the larger and farther Guazi Lake.

In other words, if you want to improve your work efficiency, you must have the ability to work remotely.

Remote operations require water transportation. A small boat would be perfect. It is both a transportation vehicle and a cargo ship. It saves effort and time, and can often get twice the result with half the effort.

That afternoon, after lunch, Chen Tianhua did not touch the river clams. Instead, he went to Xibutou Village and rented a dilapidated and unused wooden rowing boat for 30 copper coins per month.

Then we slowly rowed to my uncle's house and asked my cousin Chaoyuan to help me repair it.

Xue Chaoyuan is not only a master carpenter, but also a ship repair technician at a shipyard in Hangzhou. Some time ago, he was busy with farming and took leave from the shipyard. Now that the whole busy farming period is over, he will have to return in two days.

"Cousin, help me repair this little rowing boat..."

"You really know how to find time. I will leave tomorrow afternoon..." Xue Chaoyuan looked at it carefully, "I can only repair it overnight, but the tung oil must be completely dry before you can enter the water. It will take two days..."

"Okay...I understand, what about the materials and wages?" Chen Tianhua asked.

"Tung putty, waterproof paint, this way of contracting work and materials, you can get a piece of cake for your own cost price!"

"Okay... Cousin, after repairing it, you can put it on the shore. When the sun sets the day after tomorrow, I will pick up the boat. How about it?"

"Well, that's no problem. I'll tell your sister-in-law." Xue Chaoyuan was still confident.

The little rowing boat is done.

At this time, the sun had already set on the treetops. It put away its dazzling light, like a shy girl, revealing a red face, surrounded by a bright beam of light, soft and soft in circles.

Chen Tianhua hummed a little tune and walked home swaying.

In the month since he traveled through time, he has been nervous almost every minute. On the one hand, he has to survive carefully, on the other hand, he has to find a way out in public and try his best to change himself to be closer to reality.

I seem to feel much more relaxed today.

"Tugen..."

A roar suddenly came from behind, the voice was loud and full of energy.

Chen Tianhua was suddenly shocked. He was afraid of meeting those acquaintances or relatives whom he didn't know very well. When they met, they would make irresponsible remarks, turn over and over the old stories, and then click their tongues a few times, not knowing whether it was regret or pity.

He stopped quickly and suddenly turned around, seeing a tall, burly man striding towards him.

"Brother Genzi, it turns out it's you!" Chen Tianhua stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face.

The person who came was none other than Lin Gen, the third aunt who rescued him at the edge of Henghu Lake more than ten days ago.

Lin Gen is tall and tall, estimated to be 190cm tall. In the entire Shuangqi Township and even Shanyin County, it would be difficult to find another man of his height.

Men in Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the late Qing Dynasty were all lean, with the majority being over 1.6 meters tall, with the majority around 1.7 meters tall. Those over 1.75 meters tall were considered tall, and with a figure of 1.8 meters tall, they definitely stood out from the crowd.

He is extremely tall and has a huge frame: big head, big feet, and big hands.

Lin Gen's palms were as big as cattail leaf fans, and his fingernails were thick and full. This was the first time Chen Tianhua had seen a man who looked like this after traveling through time.

In later generations, he should be a professional athlete, playing basketball as a defender.

It is said that he is so strong that he can easily lift a stone lift weighing more than 400 kilograms over his head with one hand.

Of course, he also has a huge appetite. It is said that his rice bowl is an earthen bowl, and his appetite is equivalent to two and a half adult men. Everyone says that he is the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie, and his nickname is "Zhu'er".

Lin Gen stepped forward and patted Chen Tianhua on the shoulder with a smile, and hummed:

"Okay, you boy almost went to see the Lord of Hell again that day. Didn't he dare to take you in? Hehe... Look at you, you are alive and kicking again today... Remember my cousin's words, the lake is cold in late autumn, and it is easy to get cramps and soak in the water.

Shui Chenguang cannot last too long, remember?"

"I remember Brother Genzi. Thank you so much for what happened that day. I want to treat you to a drink when I have time!" Chen Tianhua also expressed his emotions very sincerely.

"Well... I should thank Wu Laosan. He was the first to find you floating in the lake... and then I jumped into the lake to fish you out."

"Okay... after I've been busy for a while, and I make an appointment with you that day, you can help me invite the two of them over for a drink together. How about Brother Genzi?"
