Chapter 005: The Bank
Once a person is in a predicament, if he wants to quickly solve the predicament, he should not take an unfamiliar road, but should find a breakthrough from the most familiar industry.

Everyone sat around and ate a meal of boiled hibiscus sprouts and frog meat rice porridge.
After Chen Qiusheng and Chen Qiuxia finished cleaning the yard, they began to think about catching frogs. Chen Qiuniang sent the two of them to catch some by themselves, after all, this kind of food search will be handed over to them in the future. She had more important things to do, and that was to find a way out of the situation quickly.
After the two little guys ran out with baskets and wind, Chen Qiuniang chose a small spotted bamboo with good elasticity in the bamboo forest outside the house and removed the branches. Then, the two-year-old leaves of the palm tree were pulled and pulled down to form a rope. A piece of bamboo, a fishing line made of palm leaves, and a small stone to make a stone, a simple instrument for crab fishing has become a simple utensil.
Yes, she's going crab fishing today. Yesterday, she observed by the river, not only saw the deep pool, but also saw that there are many cliffs and caves by the river, this environment is the favorite hiding place of river crabs, especially the old crabs that have grown for many years.
Although crabs are not active in this season, their numbers are not large, and they are not fat enough, they are extremely tasty and nutritious. Of course, what Chen Qiuniang values most is crab paste, which can at least be scraped off, mashed, stewed, and fed to the two youngest, so that they can grow and develop.
Chen Qiuniang made a fishing rod, took a bamboo basket, and went to the river. As soon as I went out, I saw Liu Cheng, who was in a light green robe, standing under the plum tree outside the door, the plum blossoms were about to fail, and in the wind, they were fluttering.
The scene of a clean young man, warm sunlight, fluttering fine white petals, is very romantic.
In fact, it is also good to marry a Langzhong, Chen Qiuniang thought to herself. Moreover, she also felt that Liu Langzhong's family was definitely not just a rural Langzhong. That Liu Langzhong seems to be a calm old man, very elegant. Mrs. Liu is very virtuous, hardworking, and at the same time very gentle, knowledgeable, and kind. And Liu Cheng has a faint bookish atmosphere, a kind of atmosphere and elegance that a country boy can't achieve even if he reads. Perhaps, they are the masters who live in seclusion in the countryside in this era of war and chaos.
Liu Cheng is talented and good-looking, has a tutor, and has a craft that will not die of hunger, if he really can't go back in the future, in this troubled world, it is also very good to choose such a person as a husband and live this life. It's just that I'm a little Lori at the moment, and the family conditions are too poor, the burden on my younger brothers and sisters and grandmothers is too heavy, and there is a scumbag father. On this condition, if you want to marry Liu Cheng, this is definitely Gao Pan, and people may not be happy.
Alas. The first task is to get rid of poverty and become well-off first, so that you can have a rich dowry, and then choose a reliable person to live a lifetime. What kind of love is not love, if she wants to guard the so-called love alone like her grandmother, she would rather not love.
Chen Qiuniang's thoughts turned, and then she walked over generously and greeted with a smile: "Brother Cheng, morning." β
Liu Cheng said a little uncomfortably: "I got up in the morning for a walk, I want to see if you are better!"
"I'm much better. It's just that the wound on the leg still hurts occasionally. Chen Qiuniang replied truthfully.
Liu Cheng pursed his lips, looked at Chen Qiuniang for a moment, and said, "Then I'll get you some medicine to apply to the wound." β
"Thank you, Brother Cheng." Chen Qiuniang's mouth was sweet, but Liu Cheng was even more uncomfortable, her eyes were pinned to the side, and she asked very crampedly: "Where are you going?" β
"Crab fishing. Does Brother Cheng know how to fish for crabs? Chen Qiuniang replied while looking at Liu Cheng with big eyes. She always felt that this Liu Cheng seemed to be very nervous and uncomfortable with Chen Qiuniang.
"No, it won't. I, I'm going back to dry herbs, and the sun is about to get right. After Liu Cheng finished answering, he turned around and walked home, his steps hurried.
Chen Qiuniang only felt that this guy was weird, but she didn't want to analyze it more. After all, there are thousands of things in the world, and the most incomprehensible thing is the human heart, if it is not very necessary, she will never analyze the human heart and figure out the other party's intentions, so as not to be cocooned and self-bound.
After Liu Cheng left, Chen Qiuniang went to the ridge to catch a frog as crab bait and went to the river.
This crab fishing is not as good as fishing, there is not much education and attention, as long as you choose the right place, pay full attention, and when the crab is hooked, you will be quick to see and move. And this season is just about to enter the summer, the crabs come out to move, and there is not much to eat in the water, plus the crabs themselves are greedy, once they bite and eat, they will hardly let go. So, as long as you take some frog meat and tie it to the rope, you can catch a bamboo basket in a short time.
Chen Qiuniang fished all morning, caught more than 30 river crabs, and went home. First, I chose ten crabs with more paste to stay, and prepared to make a nutritious meal for the small scraper at home.
And the rest was packed in a bamboo basket and sent to Liu Langzhong's house. This is to thank Liu Langzhong's family for saving their lives and taking care of them; Second, I want to ask Liu Cheng about the situation in Wuli Town, to see if selling ingredients is feasible, or if he can find a job to solve the problem first. After all, the original owner of this body knew almost nothing about the outside world, let alone any useful business information. At present, the only source of information is Liu Cheng.
When Chen Qiuniang carried the crab, Liu Cheng was reading a book under the window. When he saw Chen Qiuniang coming, he was stunned, and his expression was a little cramped.
Chen Qiuniang didn't see his crampedness, and only smiled and shouted: "Brother Cheng, I caught crabs and sent some to you to try." β
"This is unacceptable. It's good to eat at home. Liu Cheng put down the book, stood up, and straightened his clothes.
Chen Qiuniang put the crabs in the pot for washing vegetables, and said with a smile: "I caught a lot, and I have one at home." β
Liu Cheng didn't know what to say for a while, so he just looked at Chen Qiuniang in a daze for a while. Suddenly, without speaking, he turned and went into the house, and after a while, he took a packet of medicine and said, "You apply the wound every day, and it will soon be healed." β
Chen Qiuniang didn't shirk it, took it in her hand, and said, "Thank you, Brother Cheng." β
"Healer, as it should be." Liu Cheng was cramped and took such a sentence again. Chen Qiuniang secretly felt that this Liu Cheng was afraid that something had happened to her, or something related to her? She remembered that the day she just woke up, Liu Cheng's bearing was clearly a young hero, elegant and magnanimous.
However, she didn't have the heart to explore this, but changed the topic and said: "Brother Cheng has good medical skills, and he goes around to treat people." You must be familiar with the big families in this neighborhood and Wuli Town, right? β
"Know something, what's wrong?" Yoo Seung was puzzled.
"My family can't live like that all the time, firstly, my younger brothers and sisters can't stand it, and secondly, it is not a way to always rely on you to help. I think I usually take some wild vegetables and treasures in the river for some money, or if my brother has a job from someone I know or something, can you help me introduce it. Chen Qiuniang said very frankly. In this time and space, the only thing she can trust at the moment is this Liu Cheng, and she can only ask him for help.
"It's still okay to exchange some vegetables and fruits in the mountains and rivers for some money, but many people can't eat enough in these years, so they may not be able to afford them. Big family, there are a few in the neighborhood. As for part-time work, if you are less than twelve years old, people will not want you. Second, I know your affairs for a hundred miles, although I believe you, in the end-" Liu Cheng's words were slow, and his words were carefully considered, as if he was afraid of hurting Chen Qiuniang.
"Oh, that's it, out of the way. I only sell to large families and restaurants. Small households, I don't sell yet. However, if Brother Cheng wants to eat it, I have to make it for you for free. Only, there is a condition. Chen Qiuniang said with a grin.
"On what terms?" Liu Cheng asked.
"That is, when Brother Cheng went to Wuli Town, take me to the town for a walk." Chen Qiuniang's voice was clear, with a bit of childish squeamishness.
"Thisβthat's fine." Liu Cheng hesitated slightly, but still nodded.
A stone in Chen Qiuniang's heart fell, so she said goodbye happily. As long as she can go to Wuli Town, she will be able to make money, at least she is definitely the kind of person who can sell combs to monks.
But in order to sell the comb to the monk, it is necessary to find the "comb".
So, Chen Qiuniang began to look for a "comb" that would allow her to get her first money. She has been walking around the village now, and it is just some ordinary things in the countryside, and if they are placed in the modern era of strict pollution, these ingredients may be able to sell for a good price. But in this plane, these things are everywhere, and unless they can be made into supreme deliciousness, they are worth nothing. However, now, firstly, there are no customers, and secondly, there are no conditions to make the supreme delicious: such as seasoning, utensils, etc.
Therefore, she must find the best ingredients, and only the best ingredients can she make money. And this kind of ingredient will definitely not be available in ordinary villages, and it must be in the deep mountains and deep waters.
In deep water, there is only a deep pool of rivers nearby, and according to experience, there must be excellent fish with good meat quality in it. But this kind of fish is definitely not easy to catch, only fishing, and this kind of fish must have high requirements for bait. Only by constantly changing and experimenting with various baits can you catch it. This superb fish is something that cannot be rushed.
Then, the only way to try your luck is to go deep into the mountains first.
However, deep in the mountains-
She looked up at the Er'e Mountain in front of her, and couldn't help but wonder: such a tall and majestic, densely forested mountain certainly hides a lot of delicious ingredients. But at the same time, there are a lot of ferocious beasts. She is a nine-year-old Lori, who has no strength and no martial arts to fight jackals, tigers and leopards.
However, if you don't go into the mountains, I'm afraid there will be no other way out. At least, in the current predicament, she is not old enough, and she is an ominous person, and it is absolutely unrealistic to work a day job to earn money. Her female red or something is even more of a mess, even the original owner of this body is not a virtuous and virtuous baby, the female red is not as weak as her in modern society, not to mention embroidering a splendid future. Besides, what to say about singing and drawing stick figures in novels to make a living, in her opinion, it is really unrealistic and unseemly. What's more, she has always believed that once a person is in a predicament, if he wants to solve the predicament, he should not take an unfamiliar road, but find a breakthrough from the most familiar industry.
And her profession is a foodie.
You have to go to the mountains, and the sooner the better. Chen Qiuniang gritted her teeth: If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger.
