Vol 4 Chapter 18: Order (below)

Uncle Zhou said: "It's difficult. This fish needs special bait to catch it."
Zhou Xin has carefully sorted out the bright fish, put it in the boiled water, put the lid on it, smiled and said: "Brother Lei, just a moment, Ming fish is the best to cook, I just begged my dad to pick a few The tender buds of the root astringent grass, hee hee, Mingyu soup with the astringent grass is the real delicacy. "
Lei Xingfeng saw a handful of tender green plants in the small wooden pot on the edge, which had been washed clean. These were all things he did not know. Whether it was fish or plants, he had never seen them. For his special product, he once again thanked: "Thank you Xiaoxin."
Zhou Xin said: "Brother Lei, you're welcome, we don't have anything good here, just a little fresh."
When the water boiled, the Ming fish had melted in the water, Zhou Xin threw away the fish bones, and there was nothing in the soup. A pot of white soup, but there was a strong smell of fresh fish, sprinkled with astringent buds, Zhou Xin stirred it with a wooden spoon and said, "Okay, Dad, let's eat."
Uncle Zhou opened the lid of a small wooden barrel, which contained steamed rice in a wooden barrel, and a large bowl filled with smoked fish.
The staple food here is fish and rice, where rice is abundant.
In addition to the porridge I ate yesterday, Lei Xingfeng came to this world for the first time to eat fresh rice, which impressed him. Although this rice is very different from the rice of the previous life, for example, the grain of rice is a little bigger, The color is light green, the taste is much better than the previous life, extremely sweet.
Lei Xingfeng had a big meal, such a bucket of rice, he had eaten most of it. Uncle Zhou and Zhou Xin were stunned. This person was too good to eat.
Not only was the rice delicious, but the smoked fish was also very delicious. As for the Mingyu soup, Lei Xingfeng almost even ate it in the wooden bowl. No matter whether he was in this life or in his last life, he had never had such a delicious fish soup.
According to Lei Xingfeng's food intake, this meal and fish are only half full. It should be known that when he was in Huyabao, he mostly ate meat, and the food generally seldom eats. Only with the meat provided by various beasts can he really eat his stomach. After all, he is a cultivator, not an ordinary person.
Uncle Zhou looked at the rice bucket with a wry smile. This is today's food, fish can be caught, but rice needs to be bought at the market. The average fisherman uses all kinds of fish to exchange rice. Rice is very expensive, usually seven or eight catties of fish. To get a pound of rice.
Zhou Xin said with a smile: "Dad is alright. I catch more fish. Brother Lei likes to eat rice. Let's change more rice."
Lei Xingfeng said: "Is there a place to buy rice?"
Uncle Zhou said: "Yes, there is a big market here, almost every day a large number of fishermen go to trade."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the market, I'll buy some rice."
Zhou Xin doubted: "Brother Lei, you don't have money on your body. How can you buy rice?" He rescued Lei Xingfeng from the boat. Of course he understood that Lei Xingfeng didn't carry anything except his clothes, and that His clothes were broken into pieces, and even larger pieces could not be found. He is still wearing Dad's clothes.
Lei Xingfeng laughed: "Relax, I have a way."
Although Zhou Xin is young, about 13 or 14 years old, and has a small body, it is a typical ordinary person, but he is not stupid, saying: "Is there any way? Or should I go catch more fish and change it." He is good at fishing.
Lei Xingfeng said with a smile: "Really, I have a way, Xiao Xin, you have to believe me, I will not deceive people."
Uncle Zhou said: "Alright, we just want to go to the market, there is not much salt, we have to go back for some salt."
The fishermen here usually go to the market in exchange for a few things, one is salt, the other is rice, and there are clothes and a very small amount of daily necessities. Their life is very simple, completely for survival, and there is no other idea.
Lei Xingfeng asked: "Uncle Zhou, where is your home?"
Uncle Zhou said: "Here, it is on the boat. My home is this boat. During the rainy season, we will concentrate on the market, but we still live on the boat."
Zhou Xin pouted with laughter, he thought it was really funny to ask, the fishermen's home was always on the boat, there are very few land here, all are lakes and swamps, the fishermen here, a boat is a family, Uncle Zhou Because of special circumstances, he lived alone with his nephew. The parents of the little guy had died. In this world, Uncle Zhou is his relative.
Lei Xingfeng said with a smile: "I used to live in the mountains, and I came to the ship for the first time."
Uncle Zhou said: "Impossible, hundreds of miles here are lakes, and there is never any mountain ..."
Zhou Xin was very interested and said: "Mountain? Is it fun?"
Lei Xingfeng said: "It's different from here, there are a lot of beasts, very powerful beasts, and barbarians."
Zhou Xindao: "Barbarians? What are they? Are they humans?"
Lei Xingfeng said: "Do you not have barbarians here?"
Zhou Xin shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of ..."
Lei Xingfeng said: "It's not bad, there are no barbarians, huh, barbarians can be considered human, even more barbarous, they eat anything, including people."
Zhou Xin opened his mouth wide and said in horror: "Cannibalism? Wow, Dad, did you hear that, the barbarians would eat cannibalism."
After a brief exchange with Uncle Zhou and Zhou Xin, Lei Xingfeng knew that this is a relatively peaceful area, without too many wars, nor too dangerous beasts, this is a hard-to-find place, very suitable for simple life .
Uncle Zhou was finally moved by Lei Xingfeng. He returned to the stern, picked up the oars, and began to row.
Zhou Xin was also busy. He put the dried lotus seeds in the cloth bag, and took out the dried fish in the cabin. The dried fish can also be exchanged for something. He also had a small cloth bag with a jingle sound inside. This is His baby, with dozens of copper rings inside, was specifically used to buy money that could not be exchanged for.
At noon the next day, the boat arrived at the market.
It was a water-based building. It was spectacular from a distance. Various wooden houses with uneven heights were all erected on the water. A thick log hit the bottom of the lake. The bottom of the lake is not deep, and it is at most three or four. Around meters, the houses are connected to each other, connected by wooden boards, the street is the lake, and the vehicles are various boats.
The climate here is hot, fishermen are generally topless, a pair of shorts, a fish basket is usually tied around the waist, bare feet, weapons like harpoons are generally in hand, and a small amount of tattoos are also on the body.
As we approached the bazaar, we saw countless small boats gather from all directions and rowed towards the bazaar together.
Here gives Lei Xingfeng a peaceful atmosphere. It is a good place for cultivation. He has made up his mind and is here to think of advancing to a real body of the miren real man. At that time, when he was on the road, he saw the real After the battle, it was very clear to my heart that a militarist, if walking outside, is very dangerous. He now has a lot of resources, enough for him to dive in.
Lei Xingfeng is also naked, he is also wearing sackcloth shorts, but there is no fishing basket on his waist, nor a harpoon in his hand, he is carrying a cloth bag with dried lotus seeds in it, this is a blind medicine, yes What the cultivator needs is that this lotus seed is different from the lotus seeds he has seen in his previous life. The color is light red. It is a local specialty. The fire lotus seed, a lotus on the lake, it is good to be able to produce a few pounds of this kind of fire lotus seed.
This bag of fire lotus seeds took Zhou Xin more than ten days to collect, and then peeled off and dried to get a few pounds. According to Zhou Xin, these fire lotus seeds can be replaced with several silver rings because of Lei Xingfeng. Eating, forced Zhou Xin to take out his baby to change the rice, a pound of fire lotus seeds, you can change a hundred pounds of rice, so Lei Xingfeng carried.
Uncle Zhou carried hundreds of pounds of dried fish and walked onto the springboard. There were dozens of bright fish in Zhou Xin's fish basket, which was also very valuable.
The three walked on the board in front of the wooden house and soon came to a rice shop.
Most people here like to trade things for things, gold rings, silver rings and copper rings. Most fishermen have copper rings. Only few silver rings circulate, and the gold rings are almost invisible. They are only used between shops.
Uncle Zhou put down the dried fish and said, "Old shopkeeper, I'm here!"
An elderly man was sitting on a recliner, holding a fan in his hand, gently inciting and laughing, "Xiao Zhou, how about using dried fish for rice?"
Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, old shopkeeper, how is the business going recently?" The two seemed familiar.
The old man sat up and patted Pu Fan hard, and said, "The business has not been very good lately. I have too many dried fish here. You also know that the rainy season is coming, and the dried fish can't hold it. The fleet is not here, alas ... "he sighed and added:" There is nothing else, and the dried fish can't be exchanged for too much rice. "
Zhou Xindao: "I have a little fish here, and some fire lotus seeds."
Lei Xingfeng watched with cold eyes, he found the eyes of the old shopkeeper turned straight, and knew that this guy was not talking.
The old shopkeeper said: "Well, Huolianzi is ok, how many do you have?"
Zhou Xindao: "There are three or five pounds."
The old shopkeeper said: "How about changing one pound to fifty pounds of rice? Recently, the price of fire lotus seeds has dropped."
Zhou Xin suddenly had a bitter face, and he expected Huolianzi to change a little more rice, but he suddenly fell by half.
Lei Xingfeng couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward and said, "How much is a pound of rice for you?"
The old shopkeeper said: "Money? Do you have money?" Not that he despised fishermen, but fishermen really seldom used money to buy rice.
