In as i lay dying, what was anse hoping to get fixed someday?

As clearly stated by Anse in As I lay Dying he hopes to "to get ahead enough so I could get my mouth fixed where I could eat God's own victuals as a man should". Basically he is asking for provisions and food when he is talking about victuals. It is good also to remember that Anse is a lazy man and we can proof that because most of his neighbors say that and because time and time again you can see him acting this way.
