Chapter 4 Hungry

Two more days have passed before Chu Nan treating Mo Yue’s little Taoist nun.

Qingxu Taoist Temple.

Lunch time.

Chu Nan sat in the east.

Mo Yue's Taoist nun was sitting in the south. The Taoist nun was soaked in water that her whole body turned white. Now she has recovered, but her face is a little white, and she is so sensual.

Junior Brother Mingxin, who is only six years old, is sitting in the west. His man is thin, with a little dark skin, and his eyes are looking at the middle of the table with a look of desire.

On the table, there was a pot of porridge.

Sweet potato porridge.

It is said to be porridge, but in fact, there are not a few grains of rice. It is simply clear water and can be seen.

The amount of sweet potatoes is not actually very large.

The Taoist temple of Qingxu Taoist Temple has no believers at all. They are very poor, so they can only eat sweet potato porridge to fill their stomachs.

The little Taoist nun Mo Yue took a spoon and started to distribute the porridge.

She gave the most share to Chu Nan, the second share to Junior Brother Mingxin, and the last share to herself with the least share, which was completely unable to fill her stomach.

In this regard, she also explained: "Senior Brother Chu Nan is the master of the Taoist temple. He may have to deal with a lot of things at any time. He should eat more, otherwise he will not be able to do things. Junior Brother Mingxin is only six years old now, and he needs to eat more and develop. Now he eats less and does not grow taller. I can eat less, anyway, I am a girl and have a small stomach."

She said that, but she often couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Chu Nan frowned. In the eyes of Moyue’s Taoist nun and Mingxin’s junior brother, the sweet potato porridge in front of him is a good thing. Mingxin is about to drool by the porridge. In this era, it is a happy thing to have food. Some places have famines, let alone sweet potatoes, many people are so hungry that they go to eat Guanyin soil.

However, Chu Nan was a little dysfunctional.

He traveled through the 21st century and had great resources in the 21st century. In that era, hot pot, fat lamb, lamb chops, double-cooked meat, skewers, pig trotters, pickled fish, and fat intestines were eaten casually.

In that era, there was only the saying of losing weight, and there was no saying that there was not enough food.

What I worry about every day is how to reduce obesity.

And the days I have been traveling through time, I have been so simple and simple. I can’t even eat brown rice. Basically, I eat sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes every day. For vegetables, there is only pickles, pickles and pickles, and there is no trace of meat.

This made him feel sad. He was so hungry that he was not as good as he could, and his stomach was dry and flat.

"No, I have to find some food. I can't be hungry all the time." Chu Nan slapped the table and said.

"But, senior brother, it's too difficult to find food these days." Mo Yue's little Taoist nun said.

Junior Brother Mingxin also nodded heavily: "Senior Brother, now you have sweet potatoes, it's very delicious. Many families are so hungry that they don't even eat sweet potatoes, so they sell their children."

The little Taoist nun Mo Yue and the junior brother Mingxin didn’t believe that Chu Nan could get food.

Food is extremely precious in this era.

It's too difficult to get food.

In Shuimen Lane, there are so many people who have headaches every day that are food problems.

There are really people who sell their children because they lack food.

...

After eating this unpalatable sweet potato (water) rice, Chu Nan continued to ponder.

Where can I get some food? Is my dignified time traveler still going hungry in this world?

He thought that in this season of food shortage, there must be no food in the fields, and he can only look for it in the mountains or water.

But this was the era when mountains and forests were not developed in the late Qing Dynasty. There was a lot of food in the forests, but there were a lot of animals, such as wolves, foxes, black bears, etc., and even tigers were most likely.

However, Chu Nan thought about it and although he is now three times the strength of a normal adult, he should not be able to beat the wolves, bears and the like in the mountains, and he does not know any hunter hunting skills. Therefore, this choice can be temporarily given up.

That is to find food in the water, such as fish and shrimp.

However, it is not easy to catch fish in the water.

If it is easy, it will be arrested by other people who are almost fainting in this era, so how can they be my turn?

what to do?

etc!

In this era, there were fish.

This thing is a small bamboo basket made of bamboo, placed in the water, waiting for the fish to come in. The idiom "典" forgot the fish, comes from here. However, using fish cranes to catch fish is not efficient. Often, if you put the crane down, you may not be able to catch a fish in a few days.

However, a tool called a ground cage appeared in later generations. This thing is simply a killer for fishing. It can catch a large number of fish and shrimps at one time. It has been widely used in later generations. Most fishermen like to get one.

However, the problem is also that the fishing effect of this thing is too high. Therefore, in later generations, a series of laws were issued, such as Article 30 of Chapter 4, Article 30 of the Fisheries Law of the People's Republic of China and Article 38 of Chapter 5, and the ground cages have been listed as prohibited fishing gear in the fishery management regulations in many places.

It is now the early years of the Qing Dynasty. If you use this ground cage, you will naturally not violate any fishing laws.

As long as you make a ground cage, there will naturally be endless fish! Then you won’t be hungry.

How to make a floor cage?

In his previous life, among his friends in his college dormitory, one of his family had a lake with hundreds of acres. Once, he followed this friend to his house for a while and had seen the structure of a ground cage and used land cages to fish many times.

The only problem now is that the ground cage itself is made of plastic fibers, and then knotted manually. In the late Qing Dynasty, plastic fibers might be available abroad, but in a small county town in China, it is impossible to get enough small and extremely long plastic fibers.

What should I use to replace plastic fibers and make a floor cage.

After thinking about it, Chu Nan decided to use bamboo instead of plastic fiber.

As long as bamboo is cut with a knife, its plasticity is actually quite strong.

Only this thing can weave the appearance of a ground cage.

Of course, ground cages made of bamboo are definitely not as good as ground cages made of plastic fibers. However, it should not be a problem to catch a large number of fish.

Then, start making floor cages!

Make this thing early, and have fish to eat before breakfast!

The original owner's body also followed an old carpenter named Zhu, a nearby old carpenter, and learned from the carpenter.

He ran to the mountains, cut a few bamboos, then cut them open with a knife, then grind them finely, and polished them bit by bit. It took more than a day to finally turn into fine bamboos.

Then, we start weaving the ground cage. The ground cage often has about 50CM in one level and about 20CM in small ones. There are many entrances on both sides of the ground cage. The internal structure is relatively complex (called "inverted beards" in the line). It is difficult for fish and shrimp to come out after entering. The outlet is always located at the middle and tail of the cage, with one on both sides, and some are directly placed at both ends (this design is inconvenient, the cage is unstable and easy to tilt underwater). Only one end of the cage has an outlet. The bottom of the cage is poured into the mesh bag by stones and is woven by hand by workers.

This is another job that requires skill.

Although the original owner learned from the carpenter, it was not easy to build a ground cage. He was stabbed into his hands several times by the bamboo barbs, which made Chu Nan breathe in a cold air.

It took him three days to finally prepare the cage.

In addition, the time I cut bamboo into pieces before, and the time I spent on this cage took me four and a half days.

Next is to find a remote place, put a ground cage and fish! It is simple to put a ground cage into the water, leaving a little tail on the shore. When you want to collect the fish, pull the ground cage out of the water and it will be filled with fish.
