Chapter 7 Facing the Reality

Considering that the fish could live for a long time if well cared for, Li Anran did not continue fishing, 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 was still struggling. In the end, they had to leave it to Li Anran.

In order to ensure the activity of the fish, Li Anran did not bother to put on clothes. He only had time to let Goudan pick up the plastic bag containing his shoes and coat, and ran towards Zhao Er's house.

After Li Anran rushed into the courtyard with a barrel and fish in a somewhat embarrassed state, he ignored the astonished looks in Zhao Er's and others' eyes and shouted: "Zhao Er, get a basin out quickly."

"Hey! I'm going right now."

Zhao Er, who was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, rushed into his kitchen and took out a large wooden basin that could be used both for washing vegetables and clothes. Zhao Da on the side also followed with a bucket of water very discerningly.

After the fish slipped into the wooden basin filled with water, it swam wildly back and forth a few times. It probably found that it couldn't escape, and finally calmed down.

“What a big fish!!”

Zhao Er and Zhao Da were not the only ones to sigh like this. The two women who came over after hearing the news were also surprised by the big fish in the basin.

At this time, Goudan, who was trotting back with a wooden bucket, started shouting even though he was far away from home: "Grandpa! I'm back. Look, I caught a lot of fish and shrimp, and they are 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 very happy for this harvest.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after Li Anran explained what happened just now, I felt that the way the Zhao brothers looked at me was obviously different from before.

If the other party's previous attitude towards him was mainly 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 with the title of a qigong practitioner, he went to catch fish and shrimps with Goudan and the others. It was indeed a very important thing for him to do, but his status could not be used as food.

Seeing that he now eats so much, not to mention one or two meals, if he continues to eat like this every day, how can Zhao Er and Zhao Da's family endure it.

As for making money, although it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing, in order to actually do it, it will involve many aspects, and you won't be able to do it if you don't be careful.

Li Anran is not stupid enough to pin his own safety on the plots described in those books. For the sake of safety, it is better to keep a low profile.

Even if what you plan to do in the future will still involve many aspects, having a good foundation is better than jumping out rashly to do this or that.

What should be done specifically? Li Anran still thinks that when he has a rest at night and there are no outsiders to disturb him, he can think about the future plans carefully.

After raising the fish in the water, Li Anran asked Zhao Er to take a basin and soak the large river clams he had found in the water to spit out their dirt.

This thing requires at least a day and a night of vomiting to remove the sediment and other dirt accumulated in the body, and it won't be able to eat for a while.

As for the few eels, they continued to be thrown into the wooden barrel filled with half water. These eels are more durable than fish and shrimp, and they can be raised for a long time just by digging up some earthworms.

As for the caught fish and shrimps, except for the palm-sized fish that can temporarily live with the herring, the remaining small fish and shrimps cannot be kept for long.

Fortunately, this was not a problem for Li Anran. He picked some pine branches from Zhao Er's firewood pile and smoked all the slaughtered fish into dried fish.

Li Anran originally wanted to keep those lively river shrimps and make them into drunken shrimps. But when he thought that he didn't have the high-strength alcohol on hand to sterilize them, he had no choice but to give up.

While Li Anran was directing everyone to work, the little guys headed by Goudan and Ergouzi were naturally in a very happy mood after confirming that these river mussels and meat were the same concept.

But when the four adults and the Zhao family's eldest daughter saw the smoked dried fish, as well as the fish, shrimp and eels raised in the basin, what they thought about was how much money these things could be exchanged for.

Despite the fact that Zhao and Zhao were both hunters, in addition to taking care of the few acres of land, they could also go into the mountains to catch some game to supplement their family income, but their lives were barely enough for food and clothing.

Especially the Zhao family, they got married early and had many children. The little ones didn’t just have to grow up. They also had to take care of marriage matters, so there were too many places where money was needed.

Originally, no one paid much attention to these small fish and shrimps. After all, those shrimps were still worth two cents, but the small fish caught were eaten by so few people that they could not be sold at a high price.

Unexpectedly, after Li Anran smoked it like this, especially when he added some simple seasonings, the originally inconspicuous little thing became delicious immediately.

Just simple processing can make worthless things valuable. Even if the four adults of the Zhao family don't know anything about business, common sense still has its place.

Li Anran didn't feel the Zhao family's thoughts immediately. However, even if the Zhao family didn't think so, they already had corresponding plans.

But it was not the time to talk about this yet, so Li Anran didn't say much, but deliberately told the little ones how delicious river mussels and eels were.

After the previous incident of catching fish and shrimps, the relationship between Li Anran and the Zhao family became closer. Taking advantage of the opportunity of smoking dried fish, the two sides chatted for a while.

You wouldn't know if you didn't talk about it. After talking about it, Li Anran realized how great the impact of the war in the late Sui Dynasty on the entire Tang Dynasty. Thanks to Li Yuan, he was a good emperor.

In the past few years of his reign, the people of the Tang Dynasty finally had a chance to recuperate and recuperate. Although the people were still very poor and prices were high, at least they had hope.

There was actually a lot of nightlife in ancient times, but those were only for the rich and powerful groups. If you didn’t have money or power, you wouldn’t even think about it.

Especially for ordinary people like the Zhao brothers, they are reluctant to light oil lamps. At night, apart from the movement of human reproduction, they can only sleep.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Da and his family stood up to say goodbye. The sick cow stayed at Zhao Er's house so that Li Anran could carry out further diagnosis and treatment nearby.

Judging from the current situation, the diarrhea of ​​this sick cow has been relieved very well. According to Li Anran, it will be cured in two or three days at most.

This result naturally made both Zhao Da and Zhao Er very happy. Even Zhao Da's pace when he returned home was much easier than when he came here.

Seeing that his identity still made Zhao Er's family a little embarrassed, Li Anran did not drag the other party to chat anymore, and returned to his room after saying a few polite words.

Although this room was used to store miscellaneous items, the main structure is pretty good. In addition, it is summer now, so the dew point wind can make it cooler.

The rural areas of the Tang Dynasty were even quieter at night than modern rural areas. After going to bed, Li Anran stared blankly at the simple roof above, but could not fall asleep for a long time.

Regardless of the fact that after meeting Zhao Er, Li Anran seemed to be suitable for time travel very quickly. In fact, Li Anran still had certain illusions about time travel.

I fantasized that all this was just a dream, and maybe I would wake up from the dream at some point. But after experiencing so much, this idea was self-defeating.

"I have traveled through time... I really have to travel through time..."

"I actually traveled to the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty."

"Forget it, as the saying goes, take care of things as they come. They've come, so instead of just complaining about everything, it's better to think about your future path."

After allowing his thoughts to be confused for a while, Li Anran finally put away his bitter feelings and faced reality, and started planning for his future.

"The identity of the Qi Refiner that I told Zhao Er before is still a bit inappropriate now that I think about it. This thing first appeared in "The Romance of the Gods"."

"But although the book "The Romance of the Gods" tells mythical stories from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the author is from the Ming Dynasty. We are in the Tang Dynasty now, so it would be strange if someone knew about it."

"Fortunately, this identity can be distinguished from the profession of Taoist priest. It will be up to me to decide how to explain it at that time, so as to avoid any trouble."

"I know some of the tricks of those charlatans, but they are all lies after all. Well... rather than deceiving people with these tricks, it would be more valuable to expose them."

"Exposing these deceptive tricks from the perspective of a defender will, I believe, be more popular with the victims. However, it is better to be cautious."

"Moreover, in this era, even though the profession of Taoist priest has certain benefits in some aspects, it seems that you must have a legal status before you can do it."

"Forget it, no one can find out my origins anyway. The Bian Sanlun, mobile phone and other things that came through the time together can also be used as fairy magic weapons for the time being."

"Identity issues shouldn't be a big problem for a while. However, the safest way is to hug Li Shimin's thick legs directly."

"But as a little Qigong practitioner, I want to get Li Er's attention and be able to hug his big thick legs smoothly. It doesn't seem difficult, but it's difficult to do..."

Thinking of this, Li Anran picked up the counterfeit mobile phone placed next to his pillow. Although this kind of counterfeit product is ugly in appearance, its quality and functions are still good.

Especially the standby time, based on the current fully charged situation, if you don't listen to music, play games, or answer calls, of course, there will be no calls to answer if you want to.
