Age: My Small World

Chapter 170 Cured Fish
Knowing what the old lady was going to ask, Yang Jun spoke in advance:

"Mom, I bought this with my own royalties. It was so hard to come across it, it would be a shame not to buy it back."

"You can't spend this money on rice. It would be better to save it to buy more cornmeal and sweet potatoes."

I still feel bad about spending money, mainly because rice is expensive. The money I spend on rice can buy several times more sweet potatoes, which can last longer.

"That's not possible. I can't just return the rice, right?"

"Can I withdraw?" Li Xiaohua continued to ask.

Yang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "How can that be possible? The seller won't even let us see who he is, so how can we find him?"

"Besides, mother, I get my royalties regularly, so I'm not so poor that I can't afford this little rice. You can eat as much as you want."

"You save your money for marrying a wife. Your sister is working in our family. Her wages are with me. I have money."

My eldest sister's salary has indeed made the family a lot more well-off, and even my mother has some savings.

It’s not that the family can’t afford to eat on weekdays, but that there is no place to buy food. Moreover, Li Xiaohua is afraid of being poor, so she has to save the money and generally doesn’t spend money.

There was still some time before dinner, so Yang Jun went to the back room under the pretext of taking a nap.

In fact, as soon as he entered the house, he went directly to the small world.

With his current mental strength and control, he no longer needs to be too cautious about entering the space at any time, because he can sense the situation outside and just come out if someone approaches.

In a small world.

Unlike the freezing cold outside, the temperature here remains constant, without the hassles of winter or the heat of summer.

Sometimes Yang Jun worries whether the animals can adapt to this eternal spring.

But he obviously overthought it.

I saw two king snakes that were supposed to hibernate still swimming around in the grass, looking for traces of mice.

Ever since Yang Jun threw some mice in, the two snakes' food changed from fish to mice.

Fortunately, mice reproduce very quickly. Look, many of them have already dug holes and settled down on the mountainside. Among them, there are some hungry little ones, which look cute. They have already started to reproduce the next generation.

Yang Jun's gaze shifted to the chicken farm.

The chicken farm he enclosed was actually not very big, and there were only ten chicks in it at the beginning.

But after several months, the chicks were able to lay eggs and the next round of incubation began. Now the chicken farm is full of half-grown chicks, which may be ready to eat in another month.

The seven pheasant eggs that Xiao Yuer found also successfully hatched into pheasant chicks, which have now become friends with domestic chickens. However, they look a lot smaller and look malnourished. In fact, they are only that big and weigh only about half of domestic chickens.

The colorful feathers are very different from those of domestic chickens, and the difference can be seen at a glance.

"It will still take some time to raise them, and then they will be broilers and easy to handle."

As for the rabbits, they are still breeding normally.

Compared with chickens, rabbits have a stronger reproductive capacity. Now the two pairs of rabbits have given birth to two litters. The rabbit family has directly exceeded double digits, reaching an astonishing 44. The two female rabbits almost reach the upper limit of viviparity every time they get pregnant. This is most likely related to the spiritual water that Yang Jun often feeds them.

"I don't know if drinking it will increase the chance of pregnancy." He suddenly thought of this and then quickly shook his head. This would involve his own family members.

After going to the mountainside to fill up some queen bee honey, he basically stopped strolling around as he had something else to do.

Yang Jun, with his quick eyes and hands, scooped up a fish from the gurgling stream he had built himself. The fish weighed over ten pounds and was struggling to swim in the water; the stream was ultimately too shallow.

If given the chance, Yang Jun would like to build a long river that is at least two meters wide and has a deep draft.

The fish swayed in his hand, but there was no sign of it falling. His hand was as steady as Mount Tai.

After learning the Twelve-Link Method in Tongbeiquan, Yang Jun found that his hands were almost as steady as his legs.

The so-called twelve-link method is actually a kind of spear technique. When practicing, you have to use a long stick and adapt your hands to the stick technique. After practicing the twelve-link method, the hand skills are no less than the Tan leg formation, which shows how powerful it is.

You should know that everyone's legs are naturally stronger than their arms. This is determined by their innate nature. The twelve-bar linkage method is to train a person's arm into another thigh, and the strength of the whole body is concentrated in one place. The terrifying force can knock people away.

So every time you see people practicing Tongbeiquan opening and closing their hands with great force, it means they have already grasped the essence of the twelve-link method.

Of course, as the saying goes, yin and yang have their own way. Tongbeiquan does not only have the method of being tough and fierce, but also has technical martial arts such as Xiaolianshou. If the two are combined into one, then both hardness and softness can be achieved.

But few people can do it. After all, it is extremely difficult to practice strength and toughness, so how can one feel the soft power?

Therefore, among the descendants of Tongbeiquan, the small linked hands technique has gradually declined and is only regarded as a core training content to enhance hand-changing moves. In fact, its importance is no less than the twelve-link method.

Fortunately, Yang Jun had the help of spiritual water. Even if his bones were not adapted to the feminine force, he could still force himself to change his strength. After the bones were damaged, he could just drink some spiritual water and it would be fine.

This also gave him great opportunities, and he gradually developed a style that combined hardness and softness.

Turning to the fish.

The reason he caught fish was naturally to make cured fish, and he had nothing else to do anyway.

First, scrape off the scales of the fish, then cut open its belly.

Both the fish maw and fish bladder are left behind, they are both good things.

As for the fish body, after he quickly shook it dry, he salted it and continued to dry it in the wind.

With the help of space, the work was done quickly.

But in just two hours, the pond that was originally full of fish became clear again, and all the big fish in it disappeared.

In mid-air, Yang Jun had dozens of pickled fish waiting to be turned into cured fish, each weighing more than ten kilograms.

"If this pond contained large mullet, we could probably pull out hundreds of them. It's a pity that we don't have them these days."

The big catfish is an alien species. Its real name is Egyptian catfish, also known as Egyptian catfish. It is an extra-large catfish and is also a fish that is criticized by people.

This thing tastes pretty good when it's made, but after knowing what it eats to grow up, many people are unwilling to eat it.

Big pond mullet is an omnivorous fish that eats everything. You can imagine how dirty the food they eat is. They are an alternative pond cleaner.

It is precisely because they eat everything that many fish cannot escape the fate of being their food. Often when large mullet appear in a river, the fish in this area will easily become extinct because they are eaten to death.

Therefore, people were later banned from releasing large mullet into the river in order to protect native fish.

Although this is a bit off topic, it all stems from the fact that Yang Jun misses their taste very much.

You know what, the bigmouth mullet raised in this way tastes really good.
