At this time, the sun had already crossed the mountains, and the mist in the mountains, rivers and fields began to fade rapidly under the bright sunlight, and the voices of talking and the shouts of children and sons began to be heard far and near, and the new day was officially announced.

Chen Jiang was cooking breakfast on the fire, a small clay pot on the stove was boiling crushed soybeans and wild vegetables, watching his son come back with a wet fish basket with a smile on his face, he quickly put down the things in his hand and asked, "Where have you been so early?" ”

"Mother, come and see, this is the fish I caught in the river with a fish basket!" Chen Xu opened the lid of the fish basket.

"How can there be so many?" Chen Jiang was stunned.

There are half baskets of fish in the black press, and the old fish basket is about to fall apart.

"Brother, where are the fish?" Xing'er rubbed her eyes and ran out of the room in a daze, leaned into the fish basket to take a look at it, and then shouted excitedly, "I want to eat fish, I want to eat the biggest fish!" ”

"Okay, I'll make Apricot the biggest fish in the morning!" Chen Xu put down the fish basket with a smile, and then caught the largest fish from it, almost half a catty, with a wide back, fine scales, colored stripes on the body, and a golden red tail, which looked very beautiful, and was still struggling desperately in his hand when he took it out.

"Wow, this is a peach blossom fish, it's so good-looking, it must be delicious!" Apricot clapped her hands and cheered.

Chen Xu: ......

Chen Xu expressed serious doubts about the theory that the little girl is good-looking and delicious.

But as long as it's meat, it's definitely better than wild vegetables and soybeans.

In addition to this good-looking peach blossom fish, Chen Xu killed two smaller fish, and then handed them to Chen Jiangshi to put in the jar to cook, because there was no soy sauce and no other seasonings, Chen Xu had to tell him to put more turmeric to drive away the fishy smell.

He had never eaten boiled fish before, and he didn't think it was delicious when he thought about it.

Although there are a lot of steamed and boiled fish in later generations, it is not limited to those with too strong fishy smell, not to mention that those methods generally need to be processed in advance with cooking wine, but not to mention cooking wine at the moment, it is estimated that except for large cities, wine is not seen, and no one is willing to use grain to make wine in the era when they can't eat enough, not to mention ...... In the Qin Dynasty, it was illegal for commoners to drink wine and gather people to drink.

The little girl didn't wash her face and squatted in front of the stove to cook the fish.

Chen Xu poured all the fish in the basket into a large clay pot that was half broken, poured water, fished out all the fish that looked like they were dying, cleaned them up, smeared them with some salt, and tied them with grass stems and hung them under the eaves.

In fact, these practices are really no different from the rural areas of more than 2,000 years later.

Since Chen Xu remembered, salted fish were dried in this way in the countryside, and pickles were the same, picking fresh vegetables in spring and kneading and drying them to make pickles, picking cucumber beans and carobs in summer to make pickled cucumbers and capers, making dried sweet potatoes in autumn and dried radishes in winter, anyway, some dried vegetables will be made all year round and stored, just like Chinese like to save money is a truth, at any time will feel unsafe, at any time there is a kind of thinking in times of peace, but it is also under this habit of like to store, The Chinese have continued steadily from generation to generation.

You must know that during the Qin Dynasty, agricultural productivity was low, and the farmers who farmed could not eat enough, but the grain collected by the Qin Dynasty was hoarded in large quantities, more than ten years later, Liu Bang Xiang Yu raised troops against Qin, and obtained millions of stone grain from the granary of the country, which greatly supplemented the grain and grass of the righteous army, and the grain in Xianyang City alone was piled up like a mountain enough for the entire Xianyang army and people to eat for more than ten years, so the situation of the country being rich and the people poor also accelerated the defeat of the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty exploited the ordinary people too much, and the brutal conquest of civilian service, building roads and building the Great Wall killed and injured can not be counted, caused great public anger and led to chaos in the world as soon as Qin Shi Huang died.

"Mother, is there any salt at home?" Chen Xuyu hadn't finished getting it yet, and found that the salt in the pottery bowl was gone.

Chen Jiang sighed and shook his head slightly.

I'll go! Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and began to be stunned.

Although salt is not eaten much, it is essential in life, people who do not eat salt have no strength to work, and the body will collapse if it does not last for a few days under metabolism, and he did not expect that there will be less than two taels of salt at home.

"Xiao Xu is not there?"

Just when Chen Xu was thinking about what to do, suddenly a middle-aged man came in a hurry and rushed directly into the yard, his face was happy after seeing him, he walked over a few steps and grabbed his arm and said, "Come with me, the second baby suddenly rolled on the ground with a stomachache!" ”

"Uncle Ma, what's wrong with Brother Erxi?" Xing'er, who was squatting in front of the stove, also quickly stood up.

"Xu'er, hurry up and help take a look!" Chen Jiang also became anxious when he heard this.

So Chen Xu didn't dare to delay, dropped the fish in his hand, wiped it on his body indiscriminately, and hurried away.

The two households are not far apart, and on the way, Chen Xu asked about the specific situation, the second child of the Ma family should have eaten something to cause abdominal pain, so Chen Xu's first reaction was food poisoning.

However, I'm not a doctor, and I'm used for food poisoning.

But what he didn't know was that yesterday he used a few herbs to cure Chen Jiang, who was bitten by a poisonous snake, and almost the whole village already knew about it, a few adults saw it with their own eyes, and a group of children followed the advocacy, Chen Xu became the magic doctor in the village overnight.

But Chen Xu can't argue with this kind of thing, he does know some herbs, and he does know some simple medicinal properties, but it doesn't mean that he will really see a doctor.

Before the crossing, Chen Xu's second grandfather was an old Chinese medicine doctor in the countryside, although he was not very famous, but the people in the nearby ten miles and eight villages still heard of it slightly, so since he was a child, Chen Xu also learned a lot of medicinal materials, and also remembered some medicinal properties, but let him see a doctor and prescribe medicine, it must not work, as for the treatment of snake bites with local materials, it is the simplest first aid measure of Chinese medicine, even some farmers who do not understand Chinese medicine know how to deal with it, and the herbs used are also several ordinary herbs, It can be seen everywhere in front of the house and behind the house and in the ditch of the Tiankan River, which is not unusual.

But it was this treatment that was not unusual, and it also made Chen Xu suddenly become powerful in the eyes of the villagers.

You must know that 99% of the people in this period do not know how to read, let alone know medicinal materials, some older people may know that some herbs can treat headache and brain fever, and some witch doctors and witch gods can also use herbs to treat some slightly more serious diseases, most people are at a loss for pain, especially this acute disease.

The situation of food poisoning is almost very similar to a poisonous snake bite, that is, the onset is fast, the symptoms are obvious, and it needs to be treated and treated quickly, even if it is placed in the future of more than 2,000 years, if the toxicity is too violent, it will soon be killed.
