Uncle Zhou said: "It's difficult, this fish needs special bait to catch it." ”

Zhou Xin has carefully sorted out the Ming Fish, put it in boiling water, covered the pot, and said with a smile: "Brother Lei, it's good for a while, Ming Yu is the best to burn, I just begged my father to pick a few young shoots of Lu Astringent Grass, hehe, Ming Fish Soup should be added to Lu Astringent Grass is really delicious." ”

Lei Xingfeng saw that in the small wooden pot on the side, a handful of tender green plants had been washed clean, all of which he didn't know, whether it was fish or plants, they were all things he had never seen before, obviously local specialties, and he thanked again: "Xie Lu Xie Xiaoxin." ”

Zhou Xin said: "Brother Lei, you're welcome, we don't have any good things here, it's just a little lake freshness." ”

When the water boiled, the fish had melted in the water, Zhou Xin threw away the fish bones, there was nothing in the soup, a pot of white soup, but there was a strong fragrance of fresh fish, sprinkled with the young shoots of astringent grass, Zhou Xin stirred it with a wooden spoon, and said: "Okay, big daddy, let's eat." ”

Uncle Zhou lifted the lid of a small wooden barrel, which contained a wooden bucket of steamed rice, and a large bowl on top, full of smoked fish.

Fish and rice are the staple foods here, and rice is abundant here.

In addition to the porridge he ate yesterday, Lei Xingfeng came to this world, and it was the first time he ate fresh rice, which moved him, although this rice was very different from the rice in his previous life, for example, the rice grains were a little bigger, the color was light green, and the taste was much better than in his previous life, extremely sweet.

Lei Xingfeng ate more than half of such a bucket of rice, and Uncle Zhou and Zhou Xin were dumbfounded, this person was too good to eat.

Not only is the rice extremely delicious, but the smoked fish is also very delicious, as for the fish soup, it made Lei Xingfeng almost eat the wooden bowl, no matter in this life or in the previous life, he has never drunk such a delicious fish soup.

According to Lei Xingfeng's appetite, this bit of rice and fish is only half full, you must know that when Lu Dao was in Tiger Cliff Castle, most of the time, he ate meat, and the grain was generally very little, relying on the meat provided by various beasts, he could really eat his stomach, after all, he was a cultivator, not an ordinary person.

Uncle Zhou looked at the rice bucket with a wry smile, this is the food of the day today, the fish can be caught, but the rice needs to be bought in the market, the general fishermen use all kinds of fish to exchange for rice, rice is very expensive, generally seven or eight catties of fish, in order to exchange for a pound of rice.

Zhou Xin smiled: "Big daddy has nothing to do, I'll catch more fish, Brother Lei likes to eat rice, let's just change more rice." ”

Lei Xingfeng said: "Is there a place to buy rice here?"

Uncle Zhou said: "Yes, there is a big market here, and a large number of fishermen go to trade almost every day. ”

Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the market, I'll buy some rice." ”

Zhou Xin said suspiciously: "Brother Lei, you don't have any money with you, how can you buy rice?" He rescued Lei Xingfeng on the boat, of course he understood, Lei Xingfeng didn't carry anything except for a set of clothes, and that clothes were also tattered into pieces, and even the larger pieces couldn't be found, and he was still wearing Dad's clothes now.

Lei Xingfeng smiled: "Don't worry, I have a way." ”

Although Zhou Xin is young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and his physique is also small, he is very typical of ordinary people, but he is not stupid, and said: "What can I do? "He's a good fisherman.

Lei Xingfeng smiled: "Really, I have a way, Xiao Xin, you have to believe me, I won't lie." ”

Uncle Zhou said: "It's okay, we just happened to go to the market, and there is not much salt, so we have to go and change some salt and come back." ”

The fishermen here usually go to the market in exchange for a few things, one is salt, the other is rice, and there are clothes and a very small amount of daily necessities, and their life is very simple, purely to survive, and they have no other ideas.

Lei Xingfeng asked, "Uncle Zhou, where is your home?"

Uncle Zhou said: "Here, it's on the boat, my home is this boat, during the rainy season, we will gather in the market, but we still live on the boat." ”

Zhou Xin laughed out loud, he felt that this question was really funny, the fishermen's homes have always been on the boat, there is very little land here, all lakes and swamps, the fishermen here, a boat is a family, Uncle Zhou because of special circumstances, so he is alone, with the little nephew to live, the little guy's parents have died, in this world Uncle Zhou is his relatives.

Lei Xingfeng said with a smile: "I used to live in the mountains, and it was the first time I came to the boat. ”

Uncle Zhou said: "It's impossible, there are lakes here for hundreds of miles, and there have never been any mountains and ......."

Zhou Xin was very interested and said, "Is it fun in the mountains?"

Lei Xingfeng said: "It's different from here, there are a lot of beasts there, very powerful beasts, and barbarians. ”

Zhou Xin said: "What is a barbarian? Is it a human?"

Lei Xingfeng said, "Don't you have any barbarians here?"

Zhou Xin shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of ......."

Lei Xingfeng said: "This is not bad, there are no barbarians, hehe, barbarians are also human, they are more barbaric, they eat anything, including cannibalism." ”

Zhou Xin opened his mouth wide and said in horror: "Cannibalism?" Wow, Daddy, did you hear it, barbarians will eat people." ”

After a brief exchange with Uncle Zhou and Zhou Xin, Lei Xingfeng knew that this is a relatively peaceful area, there are not too many wars, and there are no too dangerous beasts, this is a rare paradise, and it is very suitable for a simple life.

Uncle Zhou was still moved by Lei Xingfeng's words, he returned to the stern, picked up the oars, and began rowing.

Zhou Xin was also busy, he put the dried lotus seeds into a cloth bag, and took out the dried fish in the cabin to sort it out, the dried fish can also be exchanged for things, and he also had a small cloth bag with a jingling sound inside, this is his treasure, there are dozens of copper rings in it, which are specially used to buy money that cannot be exchanged for things.

At noon the next day, the boat came to the bazaar.

It is a water building, it is very spectacular from a distance, all kinds of wooden houses are uneven, all erected on the water surface, one by one thick logs are driven into the bottom of the lake, the bottom of the lake is not deep, at most about three or four meters, the houses are connected with each other, there are wooden planks connected, the street is the lake, and the means of transportation are all kinds of boats.

The climate here is hot, and fishermen are generally topless, with a pair of shorts, a fishing basket tied around their waists, barefoot, weapons such as harpoons in their hands, and a small number of tattoos on their bodies.

When I approached the market, I saw countless boats gathered from all directions and rowed towards the market together.

This gives Lei Xingfeng a peaceful atmosphere, it is a good place to cultivate, he has already made up his mind, here to think of advancing to the first ring of the real body of the Michaun Zhenren, that time is the time to go on the road, after he has seen the real battle, he knows very well in his heart that a Michakra Master, if he walks outside, is very dangerous, he now has a lot of resources, enough for him to cultivate.

Lei Xingfeng was also naked, he was also wearing linen shorts, but he didn't have a fish basket tied around his waist, and he didn't have a harpoon in his hand, he was carrying a cloth bag, which contained sun-dried lotus seeds, this is a medicine, it is what cultivators need, this kind of lotus seeds are different from the lotus seeds he had seen in his previous life, the color is light red, it is a local specialty, fire lotus seeds, a lotus canopy on the surface of a lake, it is good to be able to produce a few catties of this kind of fire lotus seeds.

This bag of fire lotus seeds, it took Zhou Xin more than ten days to collect, and then peeled and dried, before he got a few catties, according to Zhou Xin, these fire lotus seeds can be exchanged for a few silver rings, because of Lei Xingfeng, a foodie, forced Zhou Xin to take out his treasure to exchange for rice, a pound of fire lotus seeds, can be exchanged for a hundred catties of rice, so let Lei Xingfeng carry it.

Uncle Zhou carried hundreds of catties of dried fish and walked on the gangplank, and in Zhou Xin's fish basket, there were dozens of bright fish, which was also very valuable.

The three of them walked on the planks in front of the wooden house, and soon came to a rice shop.

Most people here like to barter, gold rings, silver rings, copper rings, fishermen mostly have copper rings, only a few silver rings are circulated, gold rings are almost not seen, are between shops, will use gold rings.

Uncle Zhou put down the dried fish and said, "Old shopkeeper, I'm here!"

An old man sat on a recliner, holding a pu fan in his hand, gently inciting, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, do you exchange dried fish for rice again?"

Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, old shopkeeper, how is the business lately?" The two seemed to be very familiar.

The old man sat up, slapped the fan hard, and said: "Business has not been very good recently, I have too many dried fish here, you also know that the rainy season is coming, the dried fish can't be put away, the moisture will be moldy, and the fleet will not come to collect it, alas......" He sighed, and said: "Is there anything else, dried fish can't be exchanged for too much rice." ”

Zhou Xin said: "I have some bright fish here, and some fire lotus seeds." ”

Lei Xingfeng watched coldly, and he found that the old shopkeeper's eyes were rolling, and he knew that this guy was not telling the truth.

The old shopkeeper said: "Well, it's okay to have fire lotus seeds, how many do you have?"

Zhou Xin said: "There are three or five catties." ”

The old shopkeeper said: "How about exchanging one catty for fifty catties of rice? Recently, the price of fire lotus seeds has dropped." ”

Zhou Xin's face suddenly became bitter, he counted on the fire lotus seeds to change a little more rice, but he didn't expect it to fall by half all of a sudden.

Lei Xingfeng couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward and said, "How much is your rice here?"

The old shopkeeper said, "Money, do you have money?" It's not that he despises fishermen, but that fishermen really rarely use money to buy rice.
