The woman in white said, "In my heart, these seashells are worth any price as long as they make my little sister like them."

Su Muyao had already said that he was her older brother, so of course she had to keep up the lie.

The others felt that the boy truly loved his younger sister.

The group expressed their deepest gratitude to the person in white.

The men put away all the silver from their children's hands.

One family had three children here, and they immediately received 15 taels of silver, which made others extremely envious.

But for them, this was already a windfall, and they were quite satisfied.

Su Muyao then asked, "Are you all going to catch some fish here to sell?"

Hearing this, the men assumed Su Muyao wanted to buy fish.

One of the men said, "We can also be considered to make a living by fishing."

But fish doesn't taste as good as meat, so most people don't really like eating fish.

Our fish are very cheap, but they taste different from those river fish; they're much fresher and more delicious.

Su Muyao understood what they were saying.

He then asked, "Do you sell seafood here? Like octopus or crabs."

The men shook their heads repeatedly upon hearing this, as they did not understand what the little girl meant by "octopus seafood."

But they know about crabs.

Crabs became popular more than two years ago, reportedly originating from Liuzhou.

"We know what a crab is, but we don't know what the other names the girl mentioned are, even if we've seen them before, we don't know their names."

These men were born and raised in this area.

Therefore, they must know anything that truly existed in this sea.

Just like usual, they would also catch a lot of things they had never seen before, but they were obviously inedible.

Su Muyao was introducing them to all sorts of seafood.

These people nodded repeatedly upon hearing this; they had all seen what the little girl was talking about.

"Girl, we've seen most of what you're talking about, but are those things really edible? They look really weird!"

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao quickly nodded: "I opened a restaurant in the capital."

We plan to specialize in selling these items, so you can stock up on more of what I mentioned recently.

One of the older men shook his head repeatedly when he heard what the young girl said.

"We have absolutely no idea if that stuff you're talking about is safe to eat. If it makes someone sick, we won't be responsible."

"Don't worry, these things are edible."

I've eaten this elsewhere before, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it.

Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for any problems that arise; you won't be implicated.

Hearing what the girl said, the men were somewhat relieved.

After all, I heard from others that they had eaten it elsewhere, so it must not be poisonous.

Then Su Muyao looked at the boat not far away and asked, "Are you going out to sea to fish? Why don't you take us with you?"

These people thought about it and ultimately shook their heads.

"Putting safety aside, these locations were all reserved by others with money!"

The person speaking is the owner of this ship.

He is also the village chief, mainly because the boat was passed down from the older generation.

For the rest of his life, he relied on this boat to support his family.

Every time he took the villagers to the sea, he would sell a spot for several coins.

The old man wasn't concerned about those few cents; he had already made arrangements with the other villagers.

He's been doing this business for at least a few years now, how could he go back on his word?

And they've already taken the money.

Su Muyao simply looked at the others and asked, "Do you think it's possible to buy two seats from you?"

The men hesitated slightly, after all, the weather was exceptionally nice today.

It's been a long time since we've had meat at home, and I was originally thinking of catching some fish to take home for the kids.

Seeing that they didn't speak, the man in white took out two silver ingots from his pocket.

Two of them, being the clever ones, immediately stepped forward.

"Miss, I can give you my seat. I just happened to have some fish that I caught last time that I've dried and haven't eaten yet!"

Another person spoke up, "I can also make room for you."

After hearing what the two men said, the man in white handed over the silver in his hand.

The two of them, carrying the silver and their child, hurried back home.

This made the people next to them curse inwardly, thinking how clever and fast these two were.

Two men carrying children walked home, all smiles.

"Big brother, you're really smart."

"Of course! I can tell what you're thinking the moment you take a step forward. How could I not follow? Haha."

"But I originally thought that the young man was planning to give each person five taels of silver.

To our surprise, each of them gave us two ingots of silver, a full ten taels!

"Of course! Don't you think that the boy only bought some seashells that can be found everywhere on the beach from our child and gave him five taels of silver!"

But she seems to dote on her younger sister; the girl said she liked pretty seashells, and she actually took them all from the child.

The two chatted and laughed all the way home, while the wife was somewhat puzzled.

"Big Sea, Little Sea, why are you two back again?"

It was the eldest son's wife who spoke up; she genuinely believed that the two brothers should have already boarded the ship and were about to set sail by now.

Normally, the children play on the beach for a while and then run back on their own. Why are you taking two children out to sea?

The big, chubby son in Dahai's arms immediately broke free from his father's embrace.

"Your Majesty, I met a beautiful lady at the beach today."

He liked our seashells so much that he actually bought them all.

They also gave us a large sum of silver, but Father took it.

When Dahai heard his eldest son complaining about him, he gave his son a loving tap on the back of the head.

"You brat, all you do is tattle on your old man."

Immediately afterwards, Da Hai handed over the three large silver ingots in his hand.

Dahai's wife was completely stunned when she saw the three large silver ingots.

There wasn't a single large silver ingot in the entire household.

Look at the sea with an inquiring gaze.

"Wife, why are you looking like that? Look at me, this isn't money I just got from somewhere."

Of this, five taels of silver was the money the boy used to buy seashells from our son.

The other ten taels of silver were for our seats on the boat.

Xiao Hai, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

Dahai's wife knew that Xiaohai was an honest man, but she was still deeply shocked.

How incredibly wealthy must someone be to give so much money so easily?

…

Su Muyao followed them and first burned incense and prayed. Then, these people piled up stones on the beach.

Although I don't understand what these people are doing, they must have their reasons. I'll just watch quietly.

Before long, we finally finished our work.

That's when they started going to sea.
