Chapter 7: Facing Reality
Considering that the fish could live for a long time if it was well raised, Li Anran did not continue to fish, but quickly returned to the shore and stuffed the fish into the bucket.
The two little guys still wanted to carry the fish away, but unfortunately the herring was too big, and it was still struggling, and it could only be handed over to Li Anran to handle it in the end.
In order to ensure the vitality of this fish, Li Anran didn't care about wearing clothes. He only had time to ask the dog to pick up the plastic bag containing his shoes and robe, and ran towards Zhao Er's house.
After Li Anran rushed into the courtyard gate with a wooden bucket and fish in a little embarrassment, he ignored Zhao Er's stunned eyes and shouted, "Zhao Er, hurry up and take a basin out." ”
"Oops! I'll go now. ”
Zhao Er, who was stunned for a moment and reacted, hurriedly rushed into his kitchen and took out a large wooden basin that could be used to wash vegetables and clothes, and Zhao Da on the side also followed with a bucket of water.
As the fish slid into the wooden basin full of water, they swam back and forth a few more times, probably finding that they could not escape, and finally quieted down.
"What a big fish!!"
It was not only Zhao Er and Zhao Da who made such an exclamation, but the two mothers-in-law who rushed over after hearing the news were also surprised by the big fish in this pot.
At this time, the dog who trotted back with a wooden barrel shouted when he was far away from home: "Grandpa! I'm back, look, I've caught a lot of fish and shrimp, but it's alive. ”
As for Ergouzi, he fell behind because he had more things in his hands. But looking at the look on his face, he was also happy for this harvest.
I don't know if Lu Dao is an illusion, after Li Anran explained what happened just now, he always felt that the eyes of the two brothers of the Zhao family looked at him differently from before.
If the other party's previous attitude towards himself was still in awe, then after talking about catching fish, Li Anran always felt that the two families were much kinder to him than before.
In fact, Li Anran also knew that he had the title of a qi refiner, and it was indeed a loss of identity to go to catch fish and shrimp with dogs, but identity can't be eaten as food.
Seeing that he has such a large amount of food now, he won't talk about one or two meals, if he eats like this every day, how can Zhao Er and Zhao Da stand it.
As for the things that make money, although it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing. But to really do it, it will involve many aspects, and you should not be careful about it.
Li Anran would not be stupid enough to pin his safety on the plots described in those YY novels. To be on the safe side, it's better to keep a low profile.
Even if what you are going to do in the future will still involve many aspects, it is better to have a good foundation than to jump out of the ground to do this and that.
What should be done, Li Anran still thinks that when he rests at night and is not disturbed by outsiders, he should think about his plans in the future.
After raising the fish in the water, Li Anran asked Zhao Er to take a basin and soak the big mussels he touched in the water to vomit dirt.
It takes at least a day and a night to vomit this thing to remove the sediment and other dirt accumulated in the body, and it will not be able to eat for a while.
As for the yellow eels, they continue to be thrown in a wooden bucket with a small half of water, which is more durable than fish and shrimp, and can be raised for a long time by digging some earthworms.
As for the fish and shrimp that were caught, except for the palm-sized fish that could temporarily coexist with the herring, the remaining small fish and shrimp could not be kept for long.
Fortunately, this point was not a problem for Li Anran, he picked up some pine branches from the firewood pile of Zhao Er's house, and smoked all the small fish that had been slaughtered into dried fish.
Those lively river shrimp, Li Anran originally wanted to keep them and make them into drunk shrimp. But when I thought that I didn't have that kind of high-grade wine at hand to sterilize, I had to give up.
When Li Anran was directing everyone to be busy, the little guys led by Goudan and Ergouzi were naturally in a very happy mood after confirming that these river mussels and meat were the same concept.
But the four adults and the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, when they saw the smoked dried fish, as well as the fish, shrimp and eels kept in the pot, they thought of how much money these things could exchange for.
Don't look at Zhao Da and Zhao Er are hunters, in addition to taking care of those few acres of land, they can also go into the mountains to hunt some game to supplement their families, but their lives are only barely enough to eat.
Especially the Zhao family, they got married early and had many children, and the little ones didn't just pull the big ones, but they also had to take care of the marriage, and there were too many places where they needed money.
Originally, no one paid much attention to these small fish and shrimp, after all, those shrimp were still worth two dollars, but the small fish caught were eaten by few people and could not be sold at a price.
didn't think about it, after Li Anran smoked it like this, especially when it was smoked, some simple seasoning was added, and the originally inconspicuous little things were immediately delicious.
Just a simple processing can make worthless things valuable, even if the four adults of the Zhao family don't know much about business, but common sense still has land.
Regarding the thoughts of the Zhao family, Li Anran didn't feel it immediately. However, even if the Zhao family doesn't think so, they already have corresponding plans.
But now is not the time to talk about this, so Li Anran didn't say much, but deliberately told the little guys how delicious river mussels and eels are.
With the previous incident of catching fish and touching shrimp, the relationship between Li Anran and the Zhao family has become closer, and the two sides have gossiped a few words by taking the opportunity of smoked dried fish.
I don't know how to talk about it, but after chatting, Li Anran knew how much the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty had a great impact on the entire Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuan was still a good emperor.
In the past few years of his reign, the people of Datang finally have a chance to recuperate. Although the common people are still very poor and the prices are high, at least there is hope.
In ancient times, there was actually a lot of nightlife, but those were only for the rich and powerful, and if they didn't have money or power, they didn't even think about it.
Especially for ordinary people like the Zhao family brothers, they are reluctant to even light oil lamps, and at night, in addition to the movement of human reproduction, they can only sleep.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Da's family got up to say goodbye. The sick cow was left at Zhao Er's house, so that Li Anran could go to the nearest place for the next step of diagnosis and treatment.
Judging from the current situation, the diarrhea of this sick cow has been relieved very well, and Li Anran seems to be cured in two or three days at most.
This result naturally made Zhao Da and Zhao two very happy, and even Zhao Da's pace when he went home was much easier than when he came.
Seeing that his identity still made Zhao Er's family a little embarrassed after all, Li Anran didn't drag the other party to chat anymore, and returned to his room with a polite word.
Although this room was used to place sundries, the main structure is not bad, and it is summer now, and the dew point wind can be refreshing.
In the countryside of Datang, the night is quieter than that of modern villages. Li Anran, who went to bed, looked at the simple roof above in a daze, but he couldn't sleep for a long time.
Don't look at the fact that after meeting Zhao Er, Li Anran seems to be quickly suitable for crossing. In fact, Li Anran still has certain illusions about this kind of thing.
I fantasize that all this is just a dream of my own, and I don't know when I will wake up from the dream. But after so much experience, this idea has been self-defeating.
"Crossed the ...... It's really a ......."
"I actually traveled to the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty."
"Forget it, as the saying goes, what comes is safe. It's all here, instead of complaining there, it's better to think about how you will go in the future. ”
After letting his thinking be confused for a while, Li Anran packed up his bitter feelings and faced the reality and planned for his future.
"I told Zhao Er before that the identity of the qi refiner, but now that I think about it, it's still a little inappropriate, this thing first appeared in "Romance of the Gods"."
But although the book "Romance of the Gods" is a mythical story of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the author is from the Ming Dynasty. It's the Tang Dynasty right now, and it's strange if someone knows it. ”
"Fortunately, this identity can be distinguished from the profession of Taoist priest, and when the time comes, it is not up to me to decide how to explain it, so as to save trouble."
"I know a little bit about the tricks of those charlatans, but they are deceitful after all. Well...... Rather than deceiving people with these tricks, it is more valuable to debunk them. ”
"From the perspective of a defender, I believe that exposing these deceptive tricks should be more popular with the majority of victims. However, it is better to be cautious. ”
"Moreover, in this era, even if the profession of Taoist priest has certain benefits in some aspects, it seems that you must have a legal identity to do it."
"Forget it, anyway, no one can find out where I came from, and the things such as Bian Sanlun and mobile phones that crossed over together can also pretend to be a magic weapon of the fairy family for the time being."
"The issue of identity should not be a big deal for a while. However, the safest way is to directly hug Li Shimin's thick legs. ”
"But I'm a little qi refiner, I want to get Li Er's attention, and I can successfully hug the other party's big thick legs, it doesn't seem difficult, but it's ...... to do."
Thinking of this, Li Anran picked up the copycat mobile phone placed next to his pillow. This kind of knock-off goods looks ugly, but the quality and function are still good.
Especially the standby time, judging from the current full power, if you don't listen to music, don't play games, don't answer the phone, of course, you can't answer the phone right now.
If you don't use any functions and are on standby all the time, it is conservatively estimated that it should be able to be used for half a month, and it is not impossible to be lucky for a month.
