Chapter 40 The Tide of Beachcombing

"Thanks."

Both of them were hungry. Neither of them spoke, and they quickly ate the noodles in their bowls.

However, their table manners were much more refined.

"Burp~" Right after finishing his meal, Feng Ran let out a burp.

So embarrassing!

"Um, this is the first time I've ever eaten so much today. Haha—"

"..."

Qi Xie nodded after finishing the last few sips of soup; he wasn't actually full, but he was quite satisfied.

This bowl of noodles is the most satisfying meal he's had in a while.

After finishing his meal, Qi Xie played with Jinbao in the yard without saying he was leaving. Feng Ran was unsure what he was up to.

I cleaned up the dishes myself. Then I was about to lie on the sofa and scroll through my phone for a while.

Don't say it!

She actually discovered some good things!

[As sea levels continue to drop, people in coastal cities are joining the trend of going to the beach to enjoy the sea...]

yes!

She needs to stock up on seafood!

She loves giant squid, king crab, wild shrimp and crab... sea fish... she likes them all!

I quickly opened the short video app.

After scrolling through several news articles, Feng Ran obtained a few pieces of information.

All residents of the city are allowed to fish at sea.

As sea levels continue to drop, many fish and shrimp are washed ashore.

Many people are now heading to coastal cities.

The city she is currently in is the neighboring city of the coastal city.

It seems we need to hurry if we're going.

"You want to go?"

"thump--"

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, without saying a word, he spoke a sentence next to her, startling Feng Ran so much that she fell off the sofa to the ground.

"In no mood."

Feng Ran got up and lay back down on the sofa.

I definitely can't tell him!

"When are you leaving? We've eaten and played with the dog."

"Um."

Hmm my ass.

Feng Ran ignored him and continued to lie on the sofa playing on her phone.

A few minutes later, when I looked up again, Qi Xie was already gone.

It's really baffling.

Feng Ran originally planned to go alone. After thinking about it, she decided to bring along a hard worker—Wang San San.

[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: You said you'd go fishing in a coastal city?]

[Eating and shopping: Mm.]

[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: Am I alone? Actually, to be honest, we're planning to go to the coastal city to buy a batch of fish.]

[Eating and shopping: You guys?]

[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: Yeah, my younger brother and brother-in-law too.]

[Eat, eat, eat: How much are you planning to get? To resell?]

[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: We've been making a fishing motor and nets these past few days. Once we get them, we can dry them into fish jerky and eat them for a long time.]

[Eat, shop, shop: You're not going to consider my conditions anymore?]

[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: How much grain can I exchange for doing this for you?]

[Eating and shopping: You're so honest.]

[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: You're a really nice guy. Anyway, I'll do this job for you!]

[Eat, eat, eat: Aren't you afraid I won't give you any food?]

[Wang San San: Don't worry. It's okay if you don't give it to me. I still have some left over from what I earned before. At worst, I'll finish the work for you, and then we'll do the rest ourselves.]

[Eat, eat, eat: Okay. I won't let you down. Have you finished setting up your electric fishing nets yet?]

[Wang Sansan: It'll be finished tomorrow.]

[Eat, eat, eat: Okay. I won't go this time. When you bring back your catch, I'll trade you some grain. Three pounds of seafood for one pound of grain, how about that?]

[Wang San San: Are you sure?]

[Eat, shop, shop: Confirmed. But I decide what kind of grain to exchange for. I also decide what kind of seafood to exchange for. I don't want seafood that isn't fresh.]

[Wang Sansan: Is frozen okay?]

[Eat, eat, eat: Live frozen food is fine.]

[Wang San San: Okay! We got a lot of dry ice. It'll be rock hard when we bring it back!]

[Foodie: Sure! I like shrimp, crab, king crab, eel, grouper, and other seafood, though. If it's a rare species, I'll trade you one pound for another.]

[Wang San San: It's a deal!]

[Eating and shopping: Mm.]

...

The next day, Fengran and Jixiang picked melons.

We planted too many. The sunflowers and other plants are all ripe.

Fortunately, someone has already caught the seafood. We can just wait to collect the catch.

However, she also had to think about what kind of food she could give them in exchange.

By the way, the taro (also known as sweet potato, red potato, white potato, etc., which will not be explained again later) and potatoes that I planted before have all matured.

"auspicious?"

Feng Ran called out to Ji Xiang, who was picking melons.

"Um?"

"After we finish picking the melons, we'll dig up taro and potatoes."

"...Whatever you want." He was truly exhausted. What used to be a simple matter of absorbing nutrients now required both harvesting and digging.

"That's auspicious. I'll cut you a plate of chilled fruit tonight. The hard work you're going through now is for a happy future."

"...and iced soda."

"good."

Is it easy for him to just get something to drink...?

He tugged at his long robe, which was caught on the melon vine.

It's quite complicated.

My clothes are all dirty.

"Hey, hey, stop kidding. I'll get you one of our clothes tonight. It's the middle of summer, your clothes must be pretty hot."

“It’s not hot.”

"What?"

"It's nothing. Give it to me tonight."

"Okay." Luckily, she had collected quite a lot beforehand.

At 8 p.m. sharp, the two started their dinner.

To reward good fortune.

Feng Ran took out a crab hot pot, and then everyone took a serving of Yunnan rice noodles.

I cut up another fruit platter and chilled it with ice.

Finally, I poured two large glasses of iced soda!
