    Early the next morning, before dawn, the weather was as dry and cold as yesterday.  @,

    Zhao Erbao, Zhao Shi, and Zhao Lanlan were already up, and they could hear Goudan being urged to stay in bed.  Goudan is a small person, but he can still be considered as a half of the labor force. The children of the poor have already become the masters of the family.  Stocking up on things to satisfy hunger can help the family survive the winter smoothly.  Living is better than anything else!

    "Brother Zhao, let me go too!"

    The Zhao family was so poor that Zhang Weidong could not lie down at ease, so he had to participate.

    He was lying undressed last night and felt uncomfortable, so he went to bed in the middle of the night.  As soon as I heard a slight noise outside, I woke up immediately.

    In the cold yard, the frost was white, Zhao Erbao was packing his backpack, surprised by Zhang Weidong's request.

    "Brother, your injury is not healed yet, so you don't need to work."

    "Brother Zhao, don't worry. I have a special constitution and my wounds heal much faster than ordinary people, even if I go out for a walk." Zhang Weidong said with a smile.

    Zhao Erbao thought the same thing.  He had never seen someone recover from an injury so quickly. In just three days, such a big wound miraculously healed, so he agreed.  He was not prepared to carry a basket by Zhang Weidong, but Zhang Weidong took one himself.

    Zhao Erbao didn¡¯t care either. Anyway, he didn¡¯t regard Zhang Weidong as a laborer.

    After a while, Mrs. Zhao, her sister Lanlan, and her brother Goudan all came out, and the whole family went out.

    "Brother Zhao, don't you need to keep someone at home?"

    "There is nothing to worry about at home. Xiao Huang is here to look after the house, and we just need to ask the neighbors to look at the door."

    Seeing that Zhao Erbao didn't care, Zhang Weidong stopped persuading him.

    The neighbor¡¯s house is right next door. It has three thatched houses and a big ox in the cowshed.  There was a large cart in the yard, and there were some large timbers.  There are a lot of sawdust on the ground, it seems to be a carpenter's house.

    "Iron egg!"

    "Brother Erbao!"

    Zhao Erbao shouted.  Not long after, a man came out of the room, carpenter Zhao Tiedan.

    Zhao Erbao said, "Look at the door," and Zhao Tiedan agreed without saying anything else. He seemed to be used to it.  Zhao Tiedan looked at Zhang Weidong curiously, but didn't ask anything.

    Everyone went out of the village.

    "Most of the people in Zhao Village are surnamed Zhao. Zhao Tiedan is a carpenter, and he is very good at carpentry work. Even people from other villages ask him to make furniture. But there is only one mother in the family, Aunt Zhao, who has bad eyesight, so they don't need to go out.  Picking wild vegetables. Tiedan's family is very nice, and he always asks him to look at the door when he goes out," Zhao Erbao explained.

    Zhang Weidong echoed: "He is a good neighbor!"

    "yes"

    The road was deserted, and there were no other villagers in Zhao Village.

    In this regard, Zhao Erbao explained: "70% of the fields in Zhao Village belong to Mr. Zhao Baozhu's family in Lizheng. There are very few tenants with fields, and most of them rent crops. In previous years, the harvest was okay and the rations were not enough, but we collected some wild vegetables and went to town to cook some  You can make a living by doing odd jobs. And everyone is familiar with it. Even if you are looking for wild vegetables, each family has its own area. No one else will come to this area."

    The implication is that this area belongs to Zhao Erbao's family.  The rest of the area belongs to someone else.  So hello, hello, hello to everyone.  Zhang Weidong also noticed.  The fields we passed along the way were quite large and stretched as far as the eye could see.  It is very flat and should be considered a medium-to-high-grade dry farmland.  The crops in the field have probably been harvested long ago, and even the straw has been harvested, leaving only low crop stubble on the ground.

    Came to the river again.

    Zhao Lanlan and Goudan became quiet as soon as they arrived here. They carried small baskets on their backs and looked for wild vegetables all over the ground.  Those wild vegetables mainly grow close to the ground and have thick leaves.  Only wild vegetables with thick leaves can still be bright green during this season.  The leaves are thin and have already become dead grass and dead leaves.

    Zhao Erbao and Zhao Shi were also busy and did not give Zhang Weidong any collection tasks.  They probably treated him as a guest or an injured person and allowed him to go sightseeing.

    In fact, although wild vegetables are available, they are not filling.  If you really don't want to go hungry, you must have meat, rice, and noodles.  Whether it was because of being like a mortal, or because of the huge consumption caused by the recovery from his injuries, Zhang Weidong also felt hungry and thirsty.  Of course, this is purely a feeling.

    His body mainly absorbs vitality, and the consumption during the recovery period can only be his blood.  Before the injury heals, if the energy and blood are not replenished enough, he may become thinner and thinner, and the energy and blood will become less and less.

    "Eat more meat"

    Meat contains a lot of qi and blood, which is somewhat useful.

    Zhang Weidong looked around. There were mountains and forests nearby. The area from a distance was not small, and the mountains and forests were shadowy.  However, the trees on the edge of Dali Mountain are not prosperous enough, and one has to cross the river to enter the mountain for hunting.

    "There should be wild animals in the forest, but I wonder if there are fish in the river?"

    ? ?Due to the unknown in the mountains, Zhang Weidong did not intend to break in rashly.  The river is not big, only two or three feet wide. The water is a little turbid and it doesn't seem to be too deep.

    Zhang Weidong broke off a straight branch as thick as his thumb, used a hatchet to remove the excess branches, and sharpened one end. This was a wooden throwing gun.  He made a few more, padded them in his hands, and barely used them.

    "Sister, what is uncle doing, making a slingshot?" Goudan trotted to his sister's side and looked at Zhang Weidong's actions curiously.

    Zhao Lanlan also didn¡¯t understand: ¡°My sister doesn¡¯t know either.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll ask!¡±

    "return!"

    Zhao Lanlan grabbed her younger brother and taught her seriously: "Uncle is doing serious things, we can't disturb him, okay?"

    Goudan thought for a moment and nodded, but he glanced at the river from time to time and found it fun.  He originally wanted to go, but Zhao never let him get close to the river. It was too dangerous.

    Actually, Zhao Lanlan was also wondering.  However, Zhang Weidong was a guest of the Zhao family, so she was too embarrassed to go and ask.

    The river water was very cold at this time. He rolled up his trousers and waded into the water with his bare feet. Zhang Weidong couldn't help but shiver as he stepped on the pebbles and sand.

    "Is this really a mortal? The impact is actually so great?"

    But the river water, which was several degrees below zero, actually made him feel very uncomfortable.  However, it was just discomfort, and Zhang Weidong quickly adapted.  After all, this physical body still has foundation, and it is much stronger than ordinary people.

    The water in the river is fast and turbid, but not enough for fish to surface.  Want to fish.  The difficulty is not small.  Fortunately, there are fish in the river.

    A moment later.  Zhang Weidong moved and stabbed down with the wooden spear in his hand.  Quickly lifting it up, a four-pound gray-backed white-bellied fish was struggling to death as its gills were penetrated by a wooden gun.  It is as wide as a carp, but has a streamlined body and not too little meat.

    "Uncle is spearing fish." Zhao Lanlan was shocked.

    How did you do it?

    Goudan had noticed it a long time ago and forgot about the lesson of being spanked. He ran over quickly, biting his fingers and looking at the fish eagerly.  Very curious.

    "Goudan, have you ever eaten fish?" Zhang Weidong teased him, taking off the fat fish and throwing it into the basket.

    "Uncle, is this fish? Is it for Goudan to eat?" When Goudan heard it, his mouth watered.

    "Yes, go home in a while and ask your mother to make fish for the dogs to eat!"

    ""

    So.  Comrade Goudan stuck out his butt and crawled in front of the basket, staring at the fat fish inside, wanting to reach out and touch it.  But he was timid and could only watch him die.  Even his sister Zhao Lanlan ignored her calling him.

    Zhang Weidong smiled and lay into the river again.

    Two hours later.  Zhang Weidong came ashore.  At this time, there were more than thirty fat fish in the basket.  The big one weighs five or six kilograms, and the small one weighs more than two kilograms.  It was basically the same type of fish, weighing one to two hundred kilograms, filling the basket.

    Later, Zhao Lanlan couldn¡¯t help but go over and was surprised to see so many fat fish.

    Uncle is so awesome!

    She is sensible and knows that with so many river fish, if they are sold in the town, they can be sold for a lot of money.

    Goudan doesn¡¯t care about anything else, he just thinks about eating it stupidly.  The uncle agreed to let him eat fish, two big bowls!

    When returning, Zhang Weidong harpooned a large basket, which still alarmed Zhao Erbao and the Zhao family.

    When Zhao Erbao and Mrs. Zhao saw so many river fish in their baskets, and then looked at Zhang Weidong, their eyes were shocked and full of disbelief.  It¡¯s not that the people in Zhao Village don¡¯t know that there are fish in this small river, but it is too difficult to catch fish.  Except for catching a few fish for a taste when there are floods in the summer, the rest of the time is more likely to be a waste of time.

    ¡°Obviously, Zhang Weidong¡¯s ability broke their understanding and he became a very capable person.

    "Brother Zhang is a capable man!"

    Back to Zhao Erbao's house, the big basket was placed on the stone roller.

    Ms. Zhao looked at Zhao Erbao several times, but Zhao Erbao ignored her at all.  When Zhang Weidong picked out a few fat fish for Zhao to cook, Zhao beamed and Zhao Erbao hesitated and came over.

    ¡°Lan Lan, send some eggs to your Uncle Tiedan¡¯s house!¡± Zhao Erbao shouted.

    "I know, dad!" Zhao Lanlan turned around and wanted to go into the house to get something.

    Zhang Weidong was surprised for a moment, then realized what he was doing and called Lan Lan to catch two river fish from the basket on his back.

    "Keep the eggs and send this over!"

    "This can't be done, it can't be done!"

    After some negotiation, Zhao Lanlan happily took two river fish to Zhao Tiedan¡¯s house next door to give them as gifts, with the intention of sharing them.  After all, in ZhaoIn the village, it is not easy to eat a meal of meat, except for the fishy meat during festivals.

    This made Zhao Erbao very embarrassed.

    "Brother Zhang, I wonder what you plan to do with the remaining river fish? I mean, it's not easy for Brother Zhang to be alone. Tomorrow happens to be the market in the town. Why not go to the town and sell the river fish, which will be a lot of money.  It¡¯s a waste of money to eat like this,¡± Zhao Erbao suggested.

    Zhang Weidong thought for a moment and said: "The market in town tomorrow?"

    "Yes, there is a market on March 6, 9th every month!"

    "Brother Zhao, these river fish are very valuable? What's the price of chestnuts?"

    Zhao Erbao was stunned for a moment and introduced truthfully: "One catty of chestnuts is 5 copper coins, and one catty of raw pork is 25 copper coins. As for this fish, it is rarely sold in the market, maybe it can be sold for 50 copper coins."

    Zhang Weidong forked a lot of river fish in one morning. It was estimated to be at least 160 kilograms, which was probably almost 8 silver coins (in the text, 1 silver coin = 1,000 copper coins, 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin).  And a pound of chestnuts costs 5 copper coins, so his harvest this morning can actually buy nearly 1,600 pounds of chestnuts, which is almost enough to feed Zhao Erbao's family of four for a year.

    Zhang Weidong was immediately happy.

    Unexpectedly, fork fish is so rich?

    At the same time, he was lamenting that the mortals at the bottom of this world are very poor, and the ¡®money¡¯ in this world is really valuable!

    ???????????? If he wants to recover from his injuries, there is no shortcut, he can only take his time.  Optimistically, it would take ten to eight years.  And for such a long time, he couldn't just sit around and wait for him to become weak day by day, so he had to think about the future.  In other words, he has to earn a big business to protect himself and ensure that he can live in peace and contentment until the injury recovers.

    Money and manpower are both indispensable!

    Even recently, he has been embarrassed to live and eat at Zhao Erbao's house. He has to move out depending on the situation.

    "Thank you, Brother Zhao, for reminding me. I have to plan for the future!" Zhang Weidong thanked him.

    Zhao Erbao was immediately happy: "Brother Zhang, just have a plan!"

    Zhang Weidong added: "I plan to go to the river in the afternoon and evening to see if I can catch more fish, just in time to go to the market tomorrow!"

    "Tiedan has an ox cart. I will deliver furniture to the town tomorrow. I can pick up some." (To be continued)
