Rebirth starts with many children and good fortune

The next day, the two brothers continued to prepare a fishing rod, took some dry food, and set off.

They prepared more earthworms and a leaf. Shitou asked, puzzled, "Second brother, what are you doing with this? It's sticky and useless, and the leaf can't feed the fish, can it?"

Cheng Feng didn't explain, he just told him to do as he was told.

This time, Cheng Feng broke off a little dry food, stuck it on a needle, and tested the water.

Seeing it was useless, the dry food immediately dissolved when it touched the water.

Cheng Feng didn't mind, he just intended to try it out, there was nothing to be discouraged about.

Then he had the third brother join him in threading the earthworms onto the needle.

He threw it into the water, stuck the rod in the ground, and piled it up with stones and dirt.

He warned the third brother: "Shitou, don't tell anyone else in the village about what we did today. You have to learn this skill well. In the future, our family can basically eat fish every day. If this is leaked out, the villagers will come to fish like you. It's hard to say who gets more and who gets less. If a fight breaks out over the spot, it will be even worse."

Shitou was unconvinced: "What's there to be afraid of? Our family's skills can't be stolen by others."

Cheng Feng knew that once a child's competitive spirit was aroused, it might be difficult to control, so he could only continue to persuade him: "Look, this river doesn't belong to our family, it belongs to everyone, right?"

Shitou nodded in agreement.

"So anyone can come and fish, right?"

Shitou continued to nod.

"Then if you see someone else catching fish and you don't get anything, wouldn't you be very envious?" Cheng Feng helped Shitou uncover a corner of the adult world.

"Now that we have this skill, it's okay if others can't catch fish and just envy us. What if they come and make trouble next to us? Wouldn't we all fail to catch fish? The other person didn't have any fish in the first place, but we were interfered with and didn't get any fish. Who suffers a loss?"

"Of course, we suffer a loss, but second brother, don't worry, if anyone makes trouble, I'll hit him. If they don't have the ability themselves, how dare they disturb our fishing?"

Cheng Feng was choked. Is my Shitou so domineering?

Cheng Feng patiently guided: "If you hit him, and he hits you, wouldn't we still not have any fish to eat?"

"Oh yeah, fighting back and forth wastes my time," Shitou understood.

But the domineering, disdainful tone really shocked Cheng Feng.

My brother Shitou has the potential to be like Jackie Chan!

"So, we shouldn't easily get into arguments, it will waste our time and prevent us from catching fish and having meat to eat, right?" Cheng Feng imparted his experience in the art of survival.

Shitou nodded, "Second brother, don't worry, I understand."

Cheng Feng looked at his third brother nodding. Saying this wasn't really out of fear of exposure, but just to avoid affecting his great fishing career. It's best to be careful.

Before his family's foundation becomes solid, the only one he can trust and rely on is his third brother. But the third brother is still young, he can't let others coax him with subtle hints.

According to his plan, once fishing reaches a certain expected level, he will let go of the fishing and go learn self-defense skills.

This world is still too dangerous for a sixteen-year-old like him. A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.

And suitable for his age and build, with prospects and something he can do, there really isn't much to choose from.

Cheng Feng also wants three wives and four concubines, after all, that's the benefit of ancient times. With low productivity, the government grabs people to reproduce. Coupled with his talent, it's really amazing.

But ancient times also require betrothal gifts and houses. You still have to support a family. Otherwise, what will you eat, drink, and where will you live? Waiting for it to fall from the sky?

Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants is not just a saying.

Without the scholars of management, without grain as a foundation, what do the workers eat?

Without the workers' labor and production, what do the merchants sell?

Cheng Feng's talent may be delayed, but his vision and information are not only cutting-edge but also broad.

Detailed operations can't be said to be very powerful, but in terms of direction, historical dramas, family ethics dramas, rural romance dramas, urban development dramas, financial dramas, government compound dramas, which one can't he handle?

Did you think I watched TV dramas for nothing?

After all, this is ancient times, an ancient time when people use leaves after going to the toilet.

Of course, a little better is using wood chips.

… …

In the morning, he chatted with Shitou. At noon, the sun was scorching and the water was hot.

So they started going into the river.

Using earthworms as bait is something everyone in modern times can talk about.

In ancient times, it was an undiscovered invention.

At least no one in Liu Family Village knew about it.

This has become Cheng Feng's so-called exclusive skill.

Seeing his second brother doing so much preparation, Shitou was also ready to go all out.

Although he didn't understand, his second brother would teach him.

And he taught him hand-in-hand.

Watching the fish pop their heads next to the bait that was put down.

Cheng Feng and Shitou slowly entered the water. Three or four fish were fighting for the bait.

Swinging the hook with hemp rope wasn't too far either. Cheng Feng was afraid that it would be too deep if it was too far.

He deliberately placed it closer, at least he could see the shadow of the fish underwater.

This was also the best position Cheng Feng had obtained after many trials.

The fluctuation of the water flow didn't affect the fish either.

The brothers specifically picked the big ones to catch.

In one afternoon, they caught three big fish.

All of them weighed no less than 6 jin.

The brothers also caught two small fish along the way.

This was very easy to distribute. The big fish were sold for money, and the small fish were eaten by the family.

After packing up, they ran home. After working hard all day, they should have some meat soup at night!

At the entrance of the village, two idlers were sitting on the mound.

Teasing Cheng Feng and his brother: "Feng-ge'er is back. Did you and Shitou catch anything?"

Cheng Feng laughed: "How could we? Just two small fish, nothing much."

One of the idlers said: "That's right, these fish are not easy to catch. They're slippery as anything."

Another idler with sharp eyes saw three black shadows in the bucket in the dim light and held back from saying anything.

Shitou also remembered his second brother's warning during the day, didn't say anything, and followed his second brother home with his head covered.

Watching the backs of the two brothers walking away,

The man who hadn't spoken suddenly said: "Ma Zi, you misjudged. There are three of them."

Ma Zi replied: "If you can see it, how could I not see it? Maybe they just got lucky. Everyone gets lucky sometimes. As for whether it's luck or not, we'll know if we sit here a little longer after dinner, right?"

After another chat, the two went home.

Cheng Feng didn't realize it until he got home. Although the sky was dim, it wasn't so close that they couldn't see a few fish.

Didn't you see that the person next to him didn't say anything?

He didn't want to take away Ma Zi's face.

Then he didn't think much about it. If you have a clever plan, I have a ladder to cross the river.

Take it slow. You don't think I'm going to rob you, do you?

Give them what they should have, but if you disturb my wealth, then goodbye.

I won't serve anyone.

The family looked at the three big black fish. Cheng Feng smiled and said, "Dad, we can sell fish this time, right?"

Cheng's father replied: "Okay, okay, okay, you kid has become capable. I'll listen to you."

As long as you can make money, you can have a say anywhere.

Cheng Feng also received the approval of the head of the family at home because of his performance these two days.

Cheng Feng didn't care, this was just the beginning: "Our family doesn't have a scale. After dinner, you have to borrow one. We'll go to the county to sell it early tomorrow, otherwise the fish won't last long."

Cheng's father pretended to be angry: "You brat, did you need to tell me that? Are you also going to the county?"

Cheng Feng said: "Dad, I haven't been to the county since I was so big. I have to take a look. And if there are more fish in the future, you can't always go to the county to sell fish alone, right? You still have to worry about the work at home!"

He flattered Old Cheng, and praised the third brother at the same time, "I know where to sell it in the future, and I can also take Shitou with me. Shitou performed very well today. Shitou caught two of the big fish."

Shitou was praised and immediately showed a proud little expression. Cheng Feng wouldn't let go of the eldest brother either: "We'll use the money we earn from selling fish to get a wife for the eldest brother. It's best to get it done by the end of this year. What do you think, eldest brother?"

Cheng Shu was blushing and retorted: "Second brother, what are you talking about? After I'm done, it'll be your turn, right? I think you want to get married sooner."

Cheng Feng didn't care: "Yes, I'll get married after the eldest brother gets married. Why should I be in a hurry if you don't get married?"

Cheng Feng was actually anxious to death in his heart. What a great talent to have many children and many blessings, but it fell on having no money. Cheng Feng vowed to work hard to make money, and he must marry three wives and four concubines in the future, and have more children and more births, to create a Cheng clan.

Cheng's father looked at the lively scene of the three brothers and felt a little relieved in his heart. It's good for the family to be harmonious.

The burden pressing on his heart also eased slightly.
