Transmigrated into a poor peasant family, lacking clothes and food, life is hard enough, why must she also be schemed against by her only relative?
So she's not their biological child, wh...
Jiang Qiao stood inside, responsible for pulling back, while the two brothers dragged the net into the boat.
Jiang Qiao, seeing that things were almost done, quickly threw everything into the cabin. As for those things that couldn't be taken down, she had to pull them down by hand.
After Ning Hao and his brother pulled up the net, they quickly came over to lend a hand. They needed to cast the net again before the fish scattered.
The net was cast again, and once again it was filled to the brim with all kinds of seafood.
While the two were busy setting up their nets, Jiang Qiao took the opportunity to quickly pack things into her spatial storage. Crabs and mantis shrimps were in season and plump; once they were gone, they wouldn't come back.
She was having a great time catching fish, and Ning Hao and his group were even more excited. It was their first time fishing and they had encountered so much fish; anyone would be in a good mood.
Zhou Tianyu, in particular, felt full of energy thinking about how his sister and parents could eat such fresh seafood, which he had caught himself.
He's never home all year round and can't take care of his family at all. This time, being able to personally bring them their favorite seafood felt wonderful.
Later on, the two brothers became extravagant and looked down on small fish and shrimp. Fortunately, Jiang Qiao was there to remind them.
"We've already harvested it, we can use it to make shrimp paste scrambled eggs, don't be so picky. The food is almost ready, shouldn't we go back?"
The small boat drifted on the sea, and Jiang Qiao was worried that it was too far from the land and she wouldn't have the strength to row it back.
The two brothers looked around and saw that the cabin was already full, and they were still a little reluctant to leave.
"If you take this to the market and sell it, you can make a lot of money."
Ning Hao is someone with market and sales experience. Where else can you find such fresh seafood?
The shops require tickets, but they don't. If they come here every day, it will be a great business.
Jiang Qiao sighed, "You should just focus on being a good soldier. Now is not the time to make money. Behave yourselves. I can do it, but you can't."
If someone catches you doing something wrong, you'll be in trouble. We've had enough to eat this time; we can share some with relatives and friends when we get back.”
Ning Hao's eyes lit up. "Let's cast one last net, otherwise, we'll be letting down the fish that came all this way."
Zhou Tianyu shook his head helplessly. "You really do have the potential to be a fisherman. Alright, one last cast. It's settled, we have to go back now."
After casting the net again, there were more shrimp and crabs. "Alright, you guys take your time picking them up, I'll go back."
Zhou Tianyu was so surprised when he saw Ning Hao casually peel open a live shrimp and stuff it into his mouth that he didn't know what to say.
"You can't be that hungry, can you?"
Ning Hao raised an eyebrow smugly, "Brother, you don't know this, do you? Fresh seafood, it tastes just like it's raw. Besides, this one is alive, no problem, it's fine to eat raw, it's very fresh. You should try it, it's delicious."
Zhou Tianyu had never eaten such raw food before, but that didn't stop him from trying it.
"My goodness, I was wondering why you ate it raw. It is delicious, very smooth and tender."
Ning Hao smiled smugly, "Later, have Jiang Qiao pickle some for us. Let me tell you, it tastes amazing. We've had it before, and it was delicious."
Jiang Qiao ignored the two foodie brothers, and while rocking the oar, she checked the space and categorized the things. The buckets and boxes were full of seafood, all fresh, and there was even seawater in them.
She felt that with such a versatile space, she must be the happiest person in the world, because even sitting at home, she never had to worry about eating seafood.
They were happy to have so much stuff, but the two brothers were also worried about how to preserve it in this hot weather.
Jiang Qiao snorted twice, "Now you know, more isn't necessarily a good thing. You guys need to come up with a plan. With our little Jeep, we really can't afford that much."
"How about I go back to the army and get a truck? But even if we get a truck, we still won't be able to keep the seafood fresh?"
Ning Hao knew a thing or two about how to preserve things; back then, they used buckets and jars everywhere. Here, we really don't have that many tools.
Zhou Tianyu wasn't worried about the transportation issue, since Jiang Qiao was there. It seemed that the girl had gone out for a while, and if he wasn't mistaken, she was probably buying things to pack.
He was now thinking, if this were a jeep, how would he hunt on the road? This girl had promised to get him a wild boar.
Ning Hao glanced at Zhou Tianyu's expression and rolled his eyes at him. "Don't bite off more than you can chew. Forget about wild boars, let's think about how to get these things back."
Jiang Qiao, do you have any good ideas?
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "There's nothing I can do. I just went out and bought some plastic sheeting. I just didn't expect you two to have so much."
We need to find a different vehicle. We have to leave tonight, we should get there by midnight, and we can come back tomorrow, which will be enough time to get to work.
Zhou Tianyu came up with a good idea. "I'll handle this. I'll drive to find someone first. Don't touch the seafood in the hold yet. Jiang Qiao, go check how the acquisition is going. I'll be back soon."
Ning Hao didn't ask who his cousin had found. This guy had been doing this for so many years and had an uncle as a father, so he must know more people than he did.
Ning Hao stayed behind at the seaside, while Jiang Qiao went to check on the village. It was a small fishing village, and she was surprised that the village chief had managed to gather so much stuff.
Jiang Qiao was only responsible for paying for the total weight; how they divided the money was not her concern.
Jiang Qiao casually asked how the villagers kept their catch fresh after fishing.
"There's a cold storage facility right next to the military base that's responsible for freezing seafood from the fishing villages around us. They'll send a truck over. What's up? Did you catch any fish? Don't bother coming over. You really don't need to freeze them. Just take them home and eat them directly."
Jiang Qiao smiled bitterly to herself. This wasn't just a matter of how often they came and went; with a whole hold full of fish, there was definitely no room for a jeep, so a large truck would have to be used.
If it were just her, she could easily put it in her storage space and drive away. But with these two shrewd people with her, she wouldn't dare take the risk.
She guessed that Zhou Tianyu would definitely send someone to the cold storage by now, but she had no idea whether he would use the truck from the cold storage or haul ice from inside.
Sure enough, Zhou Tianyu actually did as Jiang Qiao said. He found a truck driver who worked in their area, paid him some money, and the driver had connections to get ice.
Before Jiang Qiao and the others had to wait long, the car arrived. The two brothers and the driver loaded the car on the beach first, then came back to find Jiang Qiao. They were a little embarrassed to be too conspicuous after taking so much stuff from the sea.
After loading the goods onto the vehicle, Jiang Qiao said goodbye to the village chief and villagers, and quickly got into the car and left.
"What's wrong? Why are you chasing me like a rabbit?"
Ning Hao was puzzled, but Jiang Qiao sighed, "The villagers are so enthusiastic. They even asked me when I would come next time."
Ning Hao smiled and said, "When you encounter someone like me, you're not welcome. This is fine, you can go back directly, and I'll help you cancel your stay at the guesthouse."
