With so many shrimp and so many people, Ye Cheng couldn't handle it all by himself, and even with Xiao Hu's help, it wouldn't be enough.

This kind of thing requires a skilled worker, and the only option is Jiang Yunxiang.

Upon hearing that guests had arrived, Jiang Yunxiang quickly brought the old lady over.

Mr. Li, being a cultured man, was always very polite to the elderly. He stood up and greeted the old lady.

When the old lady heard that the guests were from the capital and that several of them were from the city, she became extremely excited. She immediately sent Ye Cheng out to accompany the distinguished guests, and told them that they would ask Aunt Qian and the others to take care of the meal later.

"Sister-in-law, I need to buy a sea bass. I'll make them a grilled fish later. I'll take care of the shrimp myself. You can help me clean them."

Jiang Yunxiang looked at the crayfish with disgust, "Acheng, you're serving people these mantis shrimp?"

What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.

Zhao Zhiming immediately grasped the key point. He looked at Jiang Yunxiang and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, what do you call this?"

“Shrimp, they’re everywhere in the fields and ditches,” Jiang Yunxiang said without thinking.

Zhao Zhiming's expression became quite interesting. He took a deep breath and continued to ask, "So this stuff costs 30 yuan per kilogram?"

Jiang Yunxiang laughed loudly, "Nobody wants this stuff, why would it cost 30 yuan a pound? Even if you gave it away, nobody would want it."

Zhao Zhiming's eyes blazed with fury. He turned around and shouted at Ye Cheng, who had already escaped through the gate, "You damn Ye Cheng, you tricked me, didn't you?"

As soon as Jiang Yunxiang uttered the words "shrimp crawler," Ye Cheng knew he was about to be exposed, and he ran out early in the morning.

Zhao Zhiming couldn't catch up with him at all and could only follow behind, eating his dust. And then there was Ye Cheng's explanation.

"Brother Zhao, trust me, it'll definitely taste good and be worth it!"

"Eat my ass! You lied to me, you lied to me!!!"

......

Finally, Old Li and Old Zhao sat in the courtyard drinking tea, while Ye Cheng took Xiao Hu, Xiao Rou, and Cui Shuran to go beachcombing.

It was Xiao Rou who suggested going beachcombing; she was quite curious. So Ye Cheng grabbed a few buckets, gave her a shovel, and they set off.

We didn't go anywhere far, just around the village entrance. The weather has been overcast these past two days, so it's not too hot.

The four of them, carrying buckets, began strolling along the beach.

Xiao Rou was fine, looking quite curious, while Cui Shuran was a bit reserved. He was dressed quite formally, wearing leather shoes, and he didn't know whether to take them off or not.

"How are you, Young Master Cui? Are you getting used to it? We usually go beachcombing in places like this." Ye Cheng leaned over and struck up a conversation.

Just as Cui Shuran was about to speak, she suddenly froze, stopped in her tracks, and slowly looked down.

My shiny leather shoes got stuck in a muddy puddle after I stepped on them.

Now look what's happened, they even have fur-lined shoes, I'm totally dumbfounded.

Seeing Cui Shuran's suicidal expression, Ye Cheng had no choice but to send Xiao Hu home to find two pairs of large slippers.

Let Cui Shuran and Xiaorou each change into a pair.

Xiao Rou rarely plays like this. Wearing big slippers, she seemed to take off, carrying a small bucket and searching for things all over the place. She kept pulling Ye Cheng and asking him all sorts of questions.

"Ye Cheng, how do you go beachcombing? Are there any techniques?"

"No, just pick them up, there's no skill involved."

"Impossible!" Xiao Rou looked up at Ye Cheng with her big, bright eyes. "If it were that simple, everyone would be as rich as you."

Ye Cheng touched his nose. "You're smart enough not to be like me."

However, that's a configuration exclusive to rebirth, something you, girl, could never understand.

Seeing that Ye Cheng remained silent, Xiao Rou scoffed haughtily, "You stingy guy."

As he spoke, he took two more steps forward with his long legs.

Just when Ye Cheng thought he could finally enjoy the beach in peace, Xiao Rou suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Ye Cheng mysteriously.

"Hey, can I ask you something?"

Although the face in front of him was beautiful enough, and the big eyes were very sincere, Ye Cheng already sensed danger.

He resolutely refused, saying, "I have nothing to ask. I'm just here to make money by beachcombing."

After saying that, he tried to run away.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rou blocked his way with a long stride, then lowered her voice and asked with a teasing expression,

"Is that wad of toilet paper of yours used for something naughty?"

One sentence left Ye Cheng stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Damn, I knew you were going to drive, but I didn't expect you to be speeding.

"Hahaha, your face is red, and your ears are red too." Before Ye Cheng could think of a reply, the speeder pointed at him and laughed.

Ye Cheng's face darkened, then seemed to turn red.

After being reborn, my skin improved, and I became more sensitive. I even got blushed by a young girl.

No, we must fight back! This is a battle for our dignity!

"If you like it, I'll give it to you next time I use it up." Ye Cheng looked at Xiao Rou with a provocative expression.

Now it was the girl's turn to lose it. She only knew a little bit about Ye Cheng and wanted to play a prank on him, but she was no match for such an experienced player.

Ye Cheng's words made her blush, her eyes both shy and captivating, which stirred something in Ye Cheng's heart.

No, this is going to backfire.

Ye Cheng quickly pointed to the ground and changed the subject, "Look, these snails and shellfish are all edible."

"Wow, really? So many snails and seashells! It's so beautiful!"

Women's first impression is indeed different; they look at what's pretty.

Xiao Rou squatted down and picked up more than a dozen snails and seashells.

At this moment, Cui Shuran finally came over. He rolled up his trouser legs, revealing mud spots all over his legs, making him look exactly like a mud-covered man.

"Xiao Rou, why are you picking these up? They're worthless and don't taste good," Cui Shuran said curiously, watching Xiao Rou picking them so enthusiastically.

"Huh?" Xiao Rou tilted her head back, looking at Ye Cheng with suspicion. "These don't taste good?"

Ye Cheng pursed his lips and nodded.

"Then why did you watch me pick it up?"

"I'm sorry to interrupt you since you're so excited."

"roll!"

Xiao Rou grabbed a snail from the bucket and threw it at him.

After a bit of a commotion, Xiaorou finally felt better.

"Ye Cheng, you guys can't possibly only find these things normally, can you?" Cui Shuran looked at the few scraps in the bucket with a hint of regret.

Since he rarely gets to come here, he also wanted to experience the feeling of getting a big shipment.

"Yes, yes, Ye Cheng, I've read some novels where they say you can catch wild yellow croakers while beachcombing. Can you take us to catch some?" Xiao Rou was also very excited.

"Brother Xiaohu, do you think we can catch wild yellow croaker?" Xiaorou asked Xiaohu again.

Xiao Hu scratched his head. "Well, if there were wild yellow croakers, why would anyone need to work?"

grass!

That makes a lot of sense; it even has a kind of "great skill appears clumsy" feel to it.

Cui Shuran and Xiao Rou understood, and were a little disappointed.
