Chapter 96 Going to Sea



Tang Qiuyue slept until dawn and did not wear earplugs because she was afraid of oversleeping.

Sure enough, I heard the wake-up call at six o'clock the next day.

Tang Qiuyue got up at the wake-up call, washed up, and had a quick breakfast.

He packed a lot of the food he had prepared yesterday into a lunch box, and also took a bamboo tube of the chili sauce he had made, then went to the beach with the bucket.

It was not yet seven o'clock, and Tang Qiyue thought she had arrived too early. When she arrived at the rocky beach, the fisherman's wife and Shanhu were already packing up on the fishing boat.

When he saw her appear, he waved at her.

Tang Qiyue asked the two people if they had eaten. When she learned that they had already eaten, she didn't say much and climbed onto the fishing boat and sat down obediently.

When she came out, she met Xu Qiuju who was going to the cafeteria. She asked her to tell Hu Peng about her going out to sea, so that Zhan Zeye would not come back and not find her and think she had run away.

Xu Qiuju teased her and said that she should go to Zhan Zeye herself and talk to him. Zhan Zeye would probably be very happy.

Tang Qiyue would never go to the office area to find Zhan Zeye. She has always been a person with a good sense of propriety and never likes to do things beyond her boundaries.

The sea was still very cold in the morning, not to mention the rising water vapor that carried the small fishing boats on the sea surface.

The morning glow in the distance fell on the horizontal plane, making Tang Qiyue wonder if they were heading to another world.

If she had a camera, Tang Qiyue really wanted to take a picture of this scene.

But when she turned around and saw the fisherman's wife and Coral paddling beside her, they were trying hard to survive, but she was only thinking about looking at the beautiful scenery.

"Let me do it, Fisherwoman, you haven't recovered yet, save your strength for going into the sea first!"

Tang Qiuyue discussed it with the fisherman.

The fisherwoman did not refuse. Her body had not recovered very well. It was not that she could not hold on, but she could see that Tang Qiyue was not being polite, but really meant it, so she exchanged places with Tang Qiyue.

Tang Qiuyue was very strong and after looking at Coral's frequency, she quickly mastered the method.

"Do you usually go to the small island to swim?"

Tang Qiyue had always thought that the fisherwoman and Coral were going to the sea to look for seafood in the waters of the island, so she naturally had no idea that they would actually travel so far.

"Each sea area produces different things. In addition to some wild fruits, the small island also produces very large pearls. If you send them outside and sell them, the price is also very high!"

Not every household in the fishing village can produce a female ama, and the female ama are considered the village's wealth. They only need to hand over a portion of the pearls every year, and they can deal with the rest themselves. This is a privilege granted to them by default.

If it weren't for the protection of the fishing village, the haenyeo might have become a tool for making money for many families.

Coral's situation is different from the fisherman's wife. Coral has not married yet, so she is not worried so much. The fisherman's wife's husband has been executed, and now she is a widow. Although the fishing village knows what happened to her, they executed her husband because of her.

If a fisherwoman wants to survive in a fishing village, she must demonstrate her value.

In order to stay, she had to hand over more pearls to the fishing village.

This is also the reason why she went into the sea to pick pearls before she fully recovered.

Of course, Yu Niang did not tell Tang Qiyue about this matter, and she would not ask Tang Qiyue for help for everything.

As they chatted, an hour passed quickly. When they reached the shore, Shanhu and the fisherman's wife tied the small fishing boat to the reef and then took Tang Qiyue ashore.

Neither of them was in a hurry to go into the sea.

I have consumed a lot of physical energy now, so I should go find some wild fruits to replenish my energy and rest well before going into the sea.

You should know that the dangers at the bottom of the sea are much greater than on land, so it is better to go out to sea in the best condition.

The three women didn't walk far before they found a lot of wild fruits that Tang Qiyue had never seen before. Fortunately, she had a system to scan them.

Although the name given by the system is different from the name given by Coral, it does not prevent her from confirming whether it is poisonous and whether it is edible.

Tang Qiyue didn't need to do anything. Shanhu and the fisherman's wife picked the ripe wild fruits and handed them to Tang Qiyue.

They did not collect too many, but only collected the ripe ones. If they could not finish eating them, they could take them back and share them with others. At worst, they could make them into jam and eat them slowly.

When they returned to the beach and found a place under the shade of a tree, Tang Qiyue took out the food she had brought with her and mixed it with wild fruits. The three of them started eating without caring whether it was time for dinner or not.

The hot sauce made by Tang Qiuyue is the most popular. After all, the food made from other mutated ingredients is too unfamiliar, and Shanhu and Yu Niang are not very used to it.

But they can taste the hot sauce.

The old-style flatbreads spread with hot sauce are more delicious than each other.

Coral also caught a lot of shrimps under the reef. They were not big in size, so you just need to pull off the heads, peel off the shells and eat them raw. They tasted very delicious.

It tastes amazing with spicy sauce.

If she hadn't had to go back to the sea, Tang Qiuyue would have liked to tap the oysters attached to the rocks. They were delicious enough as long as they were cooked, without any dipping sauce.

After eating their fill and consuming a lot of sweet and sour wild fruits, Coral and the fishing girl began to exchange equipment.

The two of them did a long warm-up exercise before instructing Tang Qiyue, "Just pick them up here. If you're bored, there are still a lot of oysters over there you can crack some. In short, don't go to the island alone. There are no people on this island, and there are many poisonous snakes!"

Tang Qiyue promised not to do anything rash, and also told the fisherman to act within her ability and come up as soon as possible if she felt unwell.

I saw two people holding sheepskin loops that were filled with gas, wearing their homemade goggles, hanging net bags around their waists, holding iron hooks in their hands, and jumping into the sea.

Tang Qiuyue stood on the reef and watched the two people disappear into the sea, praying that they could come up safely. She had no intention of going into the sea with them.

Compared to Zhan Zeye's absolute protection of her, Coral and the Fisherwoman are divers who have been trained since childhood. They know too well the limits of the human body in seawater.

She reveals problems too easily.

Fortunately, there are indeed a lot of good things under the reef. Tang Qiuyue thought of making more shrimp paste, so she simply used a net bag to catch shrimps.

There are few people coming here, and the fish and shrimp in the sea are not afraid of people, which also makes it convenient for Tang Qiuyue.

After five or six minutes, Coral and the fisherman floated up to breathe and to see where Tang Qiyue was.

Tang Qiyue admired them very much. Being able to pick up seafood while holding their breath was indeed not something that ordinary people could do.

After diving three or four times, Coral and the fisherwoman had to go ashore to rest, as diving underwater consumes too much energy for the human body.

Tang Qiuyue looked at the big shells in the net bag they dragged up and couldn't help but smack her lips in amazement. They were indeed professionals.

"Come and see how lucky we are today and whether we can get some treasure!"

Shanhu excitedly called Tang Qiyue over.

"Sister Qiyue, you are so amazing, you can open it. If you can get a big pearl, I will give it to you!"
