Su Muyao kept having a strange dream where she died in modern times and then, with her memories intact, was reborn in ancient times. After a smooth birth, she was abandoned by her parents who favor...
Su Muyao was extremely excited, as this was her first time going to sea since she came to ancient times.
Seeing that the waves weren't too big today, everyone sat quietly on the deck.
The boat sailed a short distance, and then the people began to take fishing nets out of the deck.
Everyone seems to have their own fishing net, except that they don't cast their nets at the same time.
First, the boat captain cast his fishing net down, and when he pulled it up a short while later, there were quite a few fish on it.
Su Muyao squatted down beside him, looking at the man in white with some curiosity.
The person in white had never seen these kinds of fish before, and had eaten very little of them.
The fishermen catch fish at sea and sell them at the market, but because people haven't seen them much, even fewer people buy them.
The fishermen would eat the fish they couldn't sell themselves, but they never dared to bring back any exotic or unusual seafood.
Su Muyao was delighted to see the octopus still spitting ink.
It turns out that it wasn't that we couldn't catch them, but that we didn't recognize them.
One of them reached out and grabbed the octopus, intending to put it back into the sea.
But then I suddenly remembered what the little girl had said: this stuff is edible in other places.
But after thinking it over, she asked, "Little girl, look at the black stuff it's spraying out. It looks poisonous. Is it really edible? I hope it doesn't poison anyone."
Su Muyao nodded: "Don't worry, this stuff is really edible, otherwise why would I spend money to buy it!"
Hearing what the little girl said, the people put the thing into the bucket as well.
Then the second person also cast their net.
After everyone had cast their nets, they had reaped a bountiful harvest.
The boat captain looked at the man in white and asked, "What are your plans? Are you just here for fun? Or do you also want to try fishing? I have a net here."
Bai Yi shook his head. He had only come on the boat with Yao Yao to take a look. How could he know how to fish?
The boat captain, seeing the young master shake his head, knew he didn't need it.
He glanced at the little girl again, but ultimately didn't ask her anything.
The girl looks to be only ten years old. I hope she doesn't accidentally throw herself into the sea instead of being thrown out.
They then immediately returned to base.
After everyone had returned to the shore, these men dragged their bountiful catch back to shore.
At this time, the shore was crowded with people, mostly the men's family members who came to help move the fish.
Su Muyao saw an octopus in one of the men's buckets, but the octopus had many black spots on it.
He quickly gathered everyone together.
"Everyone come over here and take a look at this octopus. It's poisonous, so please don't eat it by mistake."
When the girl called out to them, everyone else gathered around.
When the girl said that the octopus had fish inside, everyone gasped in surprise. They had originally wanted to try the delicious octopus the girl was talking about.
"Looks like this stuff is still inedible. I knew it; the black liquid that sprays out looks like it's poisonous."
Su Muyao glanced at the man and then quickly said, "Octopus is edible, but there are different kinds of octopus. The kind with black spots on its head is poisonous."
Those without black spots are normal and edible.
At this moment, an old woman in the crowd spoke up: "Quickly throw that thing away, what if it poisons the child again?"
"Hey, what's going on here? These are things we never want! How come they're all in your bucket?"
The old lady glanced at the men; there were quite a few octopuses in the bucket.
Su Muyao took a step forward: "I want to buy this octopus, and it's not cheap."
If you receive another item in the future, please send it to the restaurant for me.
Also, these prawns, these yellow croakers, this is called turbot, this is called red grouper... send them all to me.
Su Muyao pointed to the fish in the buckets of several villagers and introduced them to each of them.
Only then did the villagers learn the real names of these fish, and they had to admit, the names were quite nice! (▽▽)
Then Su Muyao looked at another man, who was practically doubled over with laughter over a bucket of crabs.
These crabs are all plump and delicious; the big ones look so appetizing! (●°u°●)
But the man in front of him was very worried. Although he knew that crabs were edible, he only knew that the dish originated from Liuzhou.
Every time they go to the market to sell crabs, nobody eats them.
Moreover, even if the crabs that originated from Liuzhou are edible, they are still river crabs.
Unlike other crabs, this one had a bluish tinge on its legs, which some people feared was poisonous.
They've eaten it several times, and it's not poisonous at all.
I just don't know how to cook it, so I basically just boil it in water.
The more the man looked at the crabs in the bucket, the more worried he became.
Others cast their nets twice and caught quite a few big and small fish.
My two buckets are full of these blue crabs, what should I do?
Looking up, I saw the little girl's eyes shining as she looked at the blue crabs in her bucket.
Su Muyao also saw the big man and, forgetting her own appearance, quickly said, "I'll take all the crabs."
"Besides, it's so big, and the price isn't cheap. If you catch another one in the future, send it directly to the capital."
When the other men heard that the girl was going to take away the man's two buckets of crabs, they looked at their own fish.
“Girl, you know the names of all these fish, why don’t you take them in as well?”
We're tired of eating fish every day; if you want it, I'll sell it all to you.
Su Muyao nodded.
Then I gave them a rough estimate of the price.
After roughly deciding on the price, he said, "These crabs are five crabs for one tael of silver, but they all have to be this size. If they're too small, it won't do!"
The man in front of me was worried just a moment ago, but now he might have to eat crabs soon.
He immediately told himself that five crabs were worth one tael of silver.
The man's wife, who was also in the crowd, heard this and her eyes widened in surprise.
Thinking that the girl was too young, if she were even a little older, the man's wife would probably have knelt down before her.
The others around also gasped.
Some people regret that something that nobody usually eats can be sold for so much silver.
If I had known this stuff was so valuable, I would have fished it out right where the man had cast his net.
The boat captain was quite shrewd; although he knew he had sold the boat for a considerable price, he was also thinking about future business.
