Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

Teleporting to the Blue Star where he sat in his previous life, Qi Bing thought for a moment and set the timeline to the beginning of the second thousand years.

In his previous life, he had excellent grades from elementary school to the second year of junior high school and was one of his parents' prides.

Somewhat arrogant and conceited, after entering the third year of junior high school, many of his classmates said that the high school entrance exam scores would be lowered. He thought he would be more than capable of getting into high school, so he slacked off in his studies, his grades dropped significantly, and he ended up getting into a bottom-ranked high school.

Looking back on his junior high and high school years, and the many years they had lost contact after graduation, he was filled with emotion.

"Grandpa Qi Shouyi passed away many years ago. Let him be on the list first, so that we can see Grandma again after Grandma is on the list."

Qi Bing took out the Investiture of the Gods of the Human Race and reversed time and space to send his grandfather Qi Shouyi to the Investiture of the Gods.

In some parts of Dafeng County, people call their grandfather "gonggong" or "gong" and their grandmother "popo".

The term "mother-in-law" can refer to either "grandmother" or "husband's mother" in different regions.

Uncle is still addressed as Uncle, unlike in some towns where Uncle is addressed as "Da Da".

In some townships of Dafeng County, the father's sisters are called "aunt," while in others, the father's brothers are called "niangniang."

In many parts of Daxia, there are only a few groups with members, but in Chongqing and Sichuan, there are members in fifty-six groups.

In ancient times, there were many migrations into Sichuan, and most people in Sichuan, Chongqing and other places came from various parts of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Since ancient times, when the world was in chaos, Shu was in chaos first; when the world had fallen, Shu had not fallen.

It's not that the people of Sichuan and Chongqing love to fight, but rather that they dare to risk their lives.

It doesn't matter where you come from; if you live in the Sichuan-Chongqing region for a long time, you become a Sichuan-Chongqing person.

A few years ago, Chongqing was directly managed by the headquarters and separated from Sichuan.

Qi Bing set the timeline to the beginning of the second thousand years, mainly to make up for the regrets of the middle school entrance examination.

Looking at the dilapidated two-story building, Qi Bing's feelings were extremely complicated.

Not long after the start of the year, my father, Qi Yong'an, and mother, Zhang Rong, went to work in Guangzhou with my aunt and uncle.

Qi Bing's parents both earn money on construction sites, where they earn more than they would in a factory, but the work is much more tiring.

Grandma Zhou Ying, who is 61 years old this year, lives in their house and helps take care of him and his younger brother Qi Hua.

Uncle Qi Yongping often went out to carry pots in the kiln, which he would then exchange for grain, and the grain for money. His income was average.

Aunt Longfang, eldest sister Qiya, and second brother Qiming stayed at home.

Grandfather Qi Shouyi had five children: Qi Yongping, Qi Yongan, Qi Yongyan, Qi Yongli, and Qi Yongxiu.

Qijia Village has more than 300 households, and all the heads of the households are surnamed Qi.

All the people in the village with the surname Qi have descended from the same ancestor.

Even though everyone shares the surname Qi, there are still degrees of closeness and distance, and some people even have conflicts.

The overall relationship in Qijia Village is good, and people get along well, but there are also internal conflicts and disputes.

The younger brother, Qi Hua, said, "Grandma, I want to eat dried pork."

Zhou Ying said, "I'll make it for you tonight, it's almost 11:30."

Wind-dried meat is marinated meat that is hung to air-dry; in some places, it is also called air-dried meat.

In many coastal areas, dried meat is called "cured meat".

In places like Sichuan, Chongqing, and other areas, cured meat is made by air-drying and smoking meat; air-dried meat is the same as smoked meat.

After lunch, Qi Bing weeded the vegetable garden and then thought about making money.

Using extraordinary power, one can instantly earn countless riches.

Using the Xuanhuang watch, one can make a fortune every day.

Having returned to his youth in his previous life, he was reluctant to use his extraordinary powers and the Xuanhuang Watch.

"From now on, I'll earn money through my skills and try not to use supernatural powers or the Xuanhuang Watch."

After eliminating various unsuitable ways to make money, Qi Bing finally realized that catching eels was the most suitable option at the moment.

Even without using extraordinary power, many of his ordinary skills have reached the master level.

"It's a pity that Great Xia doesn't have any novel websites right now, let alone a paid subscription model, otherwise, you could easily make money by writing novels."

Holding the bamboo basket from home, Qi Bing told his grandmother and headed towards the rice paddy.

The weather is still a bit cold, and no one has been catching eels lately.

In town, the larger eels cost twelve yuan per jin (500g), while the smaller ones cost nine yuan per jin.

After a while, eels will only sell for five or six yuan per kilogram.

Qi Bing, with his excellent eyesight, quickly located an eel burrow.

With the help of master-level skills, Qi Bing caught an eel in no time.

One by one, they caught only the eels that weighed more than two ounces each.

Before they knew it, many neighbors were standing on the edge of the field watching.

"Qi soldiers, how about we get some eels for a shared meal?"

"Fifth Uncle, I want to buy something, but I don't have any money. I'm thinking of catching some eels to sell."

Qijia Village has more than 300 households, and there are too many uncles and aunts from different branches of the family, who are all related by marriage.

Qi Bing knew very well that his fifth uncle from the next room was joking when he asked him to bring out the eels for a meal.

He was short of money and didn't want to take the joke seriously. If he did, and they ended up splitting the bill, how would he make money?

In one afternoon, Qi Bing made several trips back and forth, catching a total of more than 50 jin of eels.

In the evening, I killed some small eels and made a pot of pickled eel with chili peppers, which I shared with my grandma and younger brother.

The next morning, Qi Bing rode his bicycle to town to sell the eels he had caught the day before.

The bicycle was bought for him by his father when he was in the first year of junior high school, and it cost 120 yuan.

More than 50 jin of eels were sold for a total of 530 yuan at a price of 10 yuan per jin.

"Soft-shelled turtles are expensive. Let's get some soft-shelled turtle hooks and go to the Changsheng River to catch them."

After selling the supplies needed for catching turtles, they found an open space and, after a flurry of activity, acquired a hundred turtle hooks.

Each turtle hook was attached with a bit of pig liver, and then they were placed one by one along the River of Longevity.

I bought some braised vegetables in town, a toy gun for my younger brother, and rice cakes for my grandmother before riding my bike home.

In the afternoon, I continued catching eels, and around 4 a.m., I rode my bike to town.

I sold the eels and got over 600 yuan. Then I went to collect turtle hooks.

One hundred turtle hooks were used, and a total of fifteen turtles and eighteen blackfish were caught.

Soft-shelled turtles weighing over three jin (approximately 1.5 kg) cost 200 yuan per jin, while soft-shelled turtles weighing over five jin (approximately 2.5 kg) cost 300 yuan per jin.

A while ago, someone caught a five-pound turtle in the Changsheng River and sold it for two thousand yuan.

No one farms soft-shelled turtles in Chongqing, and many people firmly believe that wild soft-shelled turtles are highly nutritious, keeping their prices high.

The turtles brought in from other places weigh only about half a pound each, and cost 35 yuan each. They are mainly used for banquets.

Ordinary people don't have much money, but everywhere there are some rich people.

"Including the four hundred or so left over from yesterday, I have more than sixteen thousand five hundred yuan."

Qi Bing put all the money he received into the storage space of the Xuanhuang watch, and rode his bicycle to the junior high school in town.

Today is Monday, and school is in session.

When he arrived at school, morning self-study had already ended, and the first class was about to begin.

"New houses in town cost 200 yuan per square meter, which is more than 16,000 yuan. You can buy more than 80 square meters of housing for that price."

"Novels are mainly published in print, so even if they are very well written, the price will be reduced. And for songs, there is no way to contact customers."

"First, I'll farm jungle monsters to earn money and accumulate my first pot of gold, then I'll consider doing something else."

My parents work hard on construction sites, which is very tiring. They also run a noodle shop and a breakfast shop, which are easier but still very arduous.

They start working at two or three in the morning to sell steamed buns and mantou.

To run a noodle shop, you have to start working at five in the morning.

At this time, Qi Bing wanted to find an easy and profitable business for his parents.

Opening a lottery shop would be easy, but he didn't want to run one.

Setting up a game room would result in a smoky, chaotic environment with terrible working conditions.

After much deliberation, Qi Bing decided that a fish bait factory was the most suitable option.

The work is easy, the prospects are promising, and the work environment is not bad.

As long as the bait is effective, sales will not be a problem.

There are three fishing tackle shops in town, and they all do good business. They're giving away free bait samples, so you don't have to risk losing your fishing gear.

Clearing his mind of all distractions, Qi Bing earnestly began to play the role of a middle school student.

With his vast knowledge, he simply wanted to relive his learning days.
