The improvement in fishing experience was visible, but the growth rate had slowed down compared to the early stages, and sometimes it didn't increase at all, as if it had reached a bottleneck.

Cheng Feng guessed that it might be related to so-called talent or aptitude.

He was just an ordinary commoner, and it was impossible for him to have any of those outstanding or unique talents.

As the saying goes, the rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation.

Based on his experiences in two lifetimes, the most profound realization Cheng Feng had was that he had a very clear understanding of his own position.

Now, it was no longer the safe country with a sound legal system and cameras everywhere.

Once it got dark, even the nearby mountains couldn't be seen.

Cheng Feng estimated that if he had an imaginary enemy, like in the movies, they could sneak in at night and wipe out his whole family.

Then the murderer could escape without a trace.

And the whole family would be neatly on their way to the afterlife.

Cheng Feng also knew that his changes were given by the social environment.

He was no longer as carefree as he had been in his previous life.

Even slacking off wouldn't have any consequences back then.

In Da Zhou, the poor at the bottom would really starve to death if they didn't work hard.

And only by working hard could they barely manage to get enough to eat.

That was how Cheng Feng's father had raised the family.

In Da Zhou, Cheng Feng's family was truly at the bottom; even worse off were the refugees who didn't even have land and had fled from disasters.

Cheng Feng's ancestors were refugees who chose to leave their hometown and take root here to reclaim land.

Their lifelong hard work laid the foundation for future generations.

Cheng Feng had the comparison of two eras and knew that his family could be considered to have a foundation; at least they wouldn't starve to death if they were diligent.

If the path didn't change after that, and they continued to work diligently for three generations, they might become someone who couldn't compare to the wealthy but could still leave savings and allow their descendants to live a decent life.

And that would be the end of it.

Cheng Feng didn't want to live such a poor life.

But he needed to make changes; any words or actions that exceeded the norm might arouse suspicion and expose himself.

His predecessor didn't have much say in the family, or even very little.

Like other common families in Da Zhou, whatever the parents said was what it was.

And he could only try to make changes through his predecessor's pitiful interpersonal relationships and the surrounding activities he had access to.

Fortunately, he finally found something that his young body, unable to carry or lift things, could do.

Skillful fishing, slightly off but not much difference.

If he couldn't catch them, he would feel around, attracting the fish to a fixed place.

The income from selling fish was getting higher and higher, and he was also bringing changes to his family.

Everything was developing in a good direction.

Now that the skill had been formed, Liu Hao's patience was also reaching its limit; after all, twenty large coins should be used up after three months.

This was just a transaction.

Did he really think his bow and arrows were for free?

They were all converted into it.

Liu Hao went hunting again the day before yesterday, and Cheng Feng could say goodbye when he came back.

Cheng Feng verified his guess from Liu Hao and obtained the skill.

It was a great profit.

After that, as long as he found some directions with special properties to learn, the formation of the skill should be even less of a problem.

For the time being, he still had to save more money to prepare for the next plan.

The bait he had laid before was now the time to close the net.

Before Liu Hao came back, he could still use his bow and arrows to practice well.

The sky gradually darkened, and a familiar dog bark came.

Liu Hao was back from hunting.

Looking at Liu Hao who came back, Cheng Feng took the initiative to say: "Thank you, Master Liu, for your guidance. I have now mastered the essentials of archery, and I can practice well after I go back."

Looking at the yard that had been cleaned by Cheng Feng, Liu Hao had a higher opinion of Cheng Feng.

This kid was different from other rural children, he was extremely clever, and his work and behavior were impeccable.

Every time he came, he would clean up the yard.

Every two or three days, he would bring a small dried fish for himself.

The training was also exceptionally hard.

Until he couldn't practice anymore, although he would still run and jump in the middle, claiming to be exercising.

Liu Hao didn't see any tricks.

"No need to be so polite. Since you think you have mastered it, then go back and practice more."

Liu Hao also felt that it was about time.

He learned something for twenty large coins, and the time didn't affect him. Liu Hao could also see Cheng Feng's current level, mastering the essentials, just getting started.

Reaching the original agreed goal was fine.

Cheng Feng said goodbye, looking at his panel, he had to work hard again.

Returning home, looking at the time, he sat on the small dirt slope at the door again.

He saw Lao San carrying a bucket, and several children at the entrance of the village greeted Lao San.

Cheng Feng was still very satisfied with Lao San.

In the past three months, there were times when Lao San caught something by himself.

Sure enough, experience makes people grow.

Now Lao San was like a little adult, no longer as impetuous as before.

He had listened to the warnings he had given him before and didn't talk nonsense with other children.

There were no major disputes either.

At most, there were some verbal arguments from the children next to him.

Jealousy was normal.

As long as Lao San didn't reveal the matter of the fish bait, it would be fine.

Cheng Feng's bottom line was that it was best not to do anything, and if he had to, he shouldn't do it first, leaving the other party with a handle.

Cheng Feng asked Lao San to bear with it and analyzed the pros and cons for Lao San, making him feel that he had a very important position in the family.

At the same time, during this period, the children whose families had connections also arranged for their children to go to other places to help.

The autumn harvest was coming soon, the season when the grain matured.

The harvest must not be careless.

Cheng Feng's father had Lao Da as a helper, and Lao Er and Lao San had ways to make money.

Cheng Feng's mother could also occasionally take on some sewing and mending work.

Everything would develop in a good direction.

And autumn was the season of harvest.

The grain had to be harvested, and the fish in the river would also return upstream to spawn.

This would be the most rewarding period for Cheng Feng in the autumn stage.

The harvest of one or two people could no longer satisfy Cheng Feng.

Having learned archery, but his family was just an ordinary rural family, without bows and arrows, Cheng Feng inquired at the blacksmith shop in the city, and a more durable bow would cost at least one or two silver coins, not to mention better ones like cowhorn bows.

Cheng Feng had also tried it and felt that a more durable bow would be fine.

He discussed sending some more arrows.

Finally, the price was set at one silver coin, six large coins, and four small coins, a total of sixteen large coins and four small coins for a more durable bow and 6 arrows made of iron arrowheads.

Cheng Feng had a full understanding of his hands-on ability.

He could think of everything in his head, but his hands were useless.

Leave professional things to professionals.

He also felt that he lacked a hunting knife, and asked about the forging price, which was expensive, an ordinary material knife cost 5 taels of silver, which was 50 large coins, Cheng Feng and Cheng Lei's brothers' three-month income was only worth this knife.

Cheng Feng also had to sigh that it was really a huge profit, but there was no way, relying on technology to eat, which was not much different from the researchers in his previous life.

Cheng Feng didn't dare to ask about good materials, he was really short of money.

He asked the blacksmith to measure his arm span and height and other data sizes, left three large coins as a deposit, and left.

Come and pick it up in a month.

And since this stage, Cheng Feng has spent 20 coins for tuition, and a total of six coins for scattered expenses, including the deposit he just paid.

After that, he had to earn 13 large coins and four small coins within a month, otherwise he couldn't buy a bow.

Cheng Feng knew it in his heart and asked Lao San about the recent situation: "How many people have you wanted to go fishing with you for a few months and can be trusted?"

Cheng Feng wanted to do something big, but he lacked manpower.

He could only think of ways from the children.

According to the past time, the fish should return upstream in the next few days.
