At this time, the sun had crossed the mountains in the sky, and the mist in the mountains and fields began to fade away quickly under the bright sunlight. The voices of speaking and the shouts of the child's son began to spread far and near, and the new day officially began.

Chen Jiang was cooking breakfast with a fire. A small clay pot on the stove was cooked with crushed soybeans and wild vegetables. Seeing his son coming back with a wet fish basket with a smile on his face, he quickly put down his things in his hand and asked, "Where have you been so early?"

"Mom, come and see, this is the fish I caught in the river with a fish basket!" Chen Xu opened the lid of the fish basket.

"Why are there so many?" Chen Jiang was shocked.

There were half a basket of fish that were jumping around inside, and the old fish basket was almost falling apart.

"Brother, where are there fish?" Xing'er rubbed her eyes and ran out of the room in a daze. She came into the fish basket and took a look. After yelling excitedly, "I want to eat fish, I want to eat the biggest fish!"

"Okay, I'll make Xing'er the biggest fish in the morning!" Chen Xu smiled and put down the fish basket, then grabbed the largest fish from it. It was about half a pound, with a wide and thick back, fine scales, and colorful stripes on his body. His tail was golden and red. It looked very beautiful. When he took it out, he was struggling desperately in his hands.

"Wow, this is peach fish. It looks so beautiful and it must be delicious!" Xing'er clapped her hands and cheered.

Chen Xu:...

Chen Xu expressed serious doubts about the theory that the little girl looks good and tastes delicious.

But as long as it is meat, it will definitely be better than wild vegetables and soybeans.

In addition to this beautiful peach blossom fish, Chen Xu killed two smaller fish and handed them over to Chen Jiang to cook. Because there was no soy sauce or any other seasonings, Chen Xu had to instruct more ginger to drive away the fishy smell.

He has never eaten boiled fish in white water, and even thought it was not delicious.

Although there were a lot of fish steamed and boiled in later generations, it was not limited to those with too much fishy smell. Moreover, those methods generally require cooking wine in advance, but nowadays, it is estimated that except for large cities, wine is not visible. In the era when people cannot even eat enough food, no one is willing to use grain to make wine. Moreover, in the Qin Dynasty, it was illegal for civilians to make wine and gather to drink.

The little girl was not washed yet and squatted in front of the stove to cook the fish.

Chen Xu poured all the fish in the fish basket into a large pot with half broken clay pot, poured water, and took out all the fish that looked almost out of the way, cleaned the broken belly and cut off the heart, applied some salt, and tied it with grass stems and hung it under the eaves.

In fact, these practices are no different from those in rural areas that have been in the future for more than two thousand years.

As Chen Xu remembers, salted fish are used to dry them in rural areas, and the same is true for pickling vegetables. In spring, pick fresh vegetables and knead them to dry them to make pickles. In summer, pick cucumber beans to make sour cucumbers and sour beans, make potato cakes and dried sweet potatoes in autumn, and dry radish in winter. Anyway, some dry vegetables are made all year round to store them. This is the same as Chinese people like to save money. They feel unsafe at any time, and there is a thought of being prepared for danger in times of peace at any time. But it is also under this habit of liking storage that Chinese talents continue smoothly from generation to generation.

You should know that during the Qin Dynasty, agricultural productivity was low, and farmers who farmed were not full, but the food collected by the Qin Dynasty was hoarded in large quantities. More than ten years later, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu raised an army to rebel against Qin, and seized millions of stones of grain from the granaries across the country, greatly replenishing the grain and grass of the rebel army. The grain in Xianyang alone accumulated like a mountain to fill the entire Xianyang military and civilians for more than ten years. Therefore, the situation of the country's wealth and poor people also accelerated the defeat of the Qin Dynasty. In addition, the Qin Dynasty exploited ordinary people too much, and the brutal expedition of civil servants and roads to build the Great Wall could not be counted, which caused great public anger and led to chaos in the world as soon as Qin Shihuang died.

"Mom, is there any salt at home?" Before Chen Xuyu finished it, he found that there was no salt in the pottery bowl.

Chen Jiang sighed and shook his head slightly.

I'll go! Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and began to be stunned.

Although I don’t eat much salt, it is essential in life. People who don’t eat salt will not have the energy to work. After metabolism, their bodies will collapse after a few days. He never thought that there would be less than two taels of salt at home.

"Is Xiaoxu here?"

Just as Chen Xu was thinking about what to do, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed into the yard. After seeing him, he was happy and walked over a few steps to grab his arm and said, "Go with me quickly. Erwazi suddenly rolled on the ground with a stomachache!"

"Uncle Ma, what's wrong with Brother Erxi?" Xing'er, who was squatting in front of the stove, also stood up quickly.

"Xu'er, hurry up and help!" Chen Jiang became anxious when he heard this.

So Chen Xu didn't dare to delay, so he left the fish in his hand and wiped it around and then hurried away.

The two households were not far apart. On the way, Chen Xu asked about the specific situation. The Ma family's second son should have eaten something to cause abdominal pain, so Chen Xu's first reaction was food poisoning.

But, I'm not a doctor, I can't help but ask me to care about food poisoning.

But what he didn't know was that he used a few herbs to cure Chen Jiang, who was bitten by a poisonous snake, almost all the village knew about it at night. What a few adults saw with their own eyes, and with a group of children who promoted the fire, Chen Xu became the miracle doctor in the village overnight.

But Chen Xu could not argue about this kind of thing. He did know some herbs and some simple medicinal properties, but it did not mean that he could really see a doctor.

Before traveling through time, Chen Xu's second grandfather was a rural old Chinese doctor. Although he was not very famous, people from nearby villages still heard about it. Therefore, after being influenced by childhood, Chen Xu also learned a lot of medicinal materials and remembered some medicinal properties. However, it is definitely not possible to ask him to prescribe medicine when he sees a doctor. As for local materials to treat snake and insect bites, it is the simplest Chinese medicine first aid measure. Even some farmers who do not understand Chinese medicine know how to deal with it. Moreover, the herbs used are several ordinary herbs, which can be seen everywhere in front of the house and in the fields and rivers. It is not unusual.

But this incredible treatment made Chen Xu become very powerful in the eyes of the villagers.

You should know that 99% of people in this period don’t know words, let alone medicinal materials. Some older people may know that some herbs can treat headaches and fevers, and some half-baked dancers like witch doctors and witches can also use herbs to treat some slightly more serious diseases. Most people are at a loss for the pain, especially this acute disease.
