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.

Anse hopes to get his teeth fixed someday.
