Chapter 11 The Second Mission (Part 2)
Shi Qingqing didn't really mean to pick a fight, but she just couldn't help but retort when she saw Zhao Fengnian's naughty look.
It's like a mark engraved in the blood.
"Okay, just find two small sticks, peel them, and make do with the meal."
The two of them shared two packets of instant noodles. Since Shi Qingqing had completed the task and was in a good mood, she spent the afternoon purely to earn some extra money.
Shi Qingqing moved a bit, preparing to dive to the bottom of the shallows, but was scolded by someone: "What are you doing here!"
Zhao Fengnian smashed an oyster shell with the shovel in his hand. Looking back, he saw a man in a leather jumpsuit standing beside him holding a bucket.
Shi Qingqing turned around and went back to the shore, just in time to see Zhao Fengnian about to get into an argument with someone.
"This is not your private property, why are you chasing us away?"
"Over here is my son-in-law's oyster farm. Everything here was washed down from there. Leave now, or I'll ask you to pay me and call the police to arrest you as an outsider!"
"Oysters? Isn't this a sea oyster?" Is this the same thing as the plump white meat that's steamed and roasted with garlic? He didn't know much about seafood.
Shi Qingqing glanced at the direction the man was talking about, took two quick steps and continued the conversation. "The water flow in the place you pointed to is downstream. I have never heard of oysters downstream being able to swim upstream. They are not fish and cannot swim up."
Shi Qingqing said this in the local dialect.
The man seemed to lose some momentum when he saw a local, but he didn't want to take back what he said, so he deliberately said, "It was blown up by the typhoon two days ago."
"Huh? They blew up here. If a typhoon could blow your oysters up here, this place would be crowded with people. How could it wait for us?
Do you think I haven't seen oyster farming before? How can oysters stick tightly to these rocks in just two days?
If you want to dig, just tell us, and don't hide your bucket and shovel. We won't lie to you for a little oyster meat."
After Shi Qingqing finished speaking, she saw the older man's chest heaving up and down, obviously choking.
After a long while, all he could say was: "You are shameless for marrying a guy from another place."
Then he picked up the bucket and found a place to dig.
Shi Qingqing didn't want to continue arguing with him. There were so many people like him in the village. If she insisted on arguing with someone of this age, it would only be a waste of time.
Moreover, I am not a villager from this area. If a commotion really breaks out, people in this area will definitely side with the right side instead of their relatives.
Zhao Fengnian stood there staring at the old man. Shi Qingqing asked him to pack his things and then she went into the water.
"Go into the water? Can you swim?" Zhao Fengnian looked at the vast sea and felt that it was unsafe.
But Shi Qingqing insisted on going, and casually said that she was an excellent swimmer, like a dragon entering the sea.
"Jiao, what are you doing?"
Shi Qingqing turned around and entered the water, and she was indeed very agile and nimble.
The elderly man nearby saw this and snorted through his nose.
Zhao Fengnian turned his head, exposed his arms and waved them. The old man glared at him and continued to dig at the rocks on the shore.
Everything here had been dug up by the couple, so he couldn't dig much.
If I had known, I would have come earlier and booked the all-inclusive package.
These wild oysters are not found everywhere.
Under water, Shi Qingqing tried to click on the pop-up window and found that it could be opened underwater.
When submitting the task at this time, there are still fifty hours left before the time limit.
[Task submission completed, reward points 100. ]
[Do you accept the next mission, dig 20 kilograms of oyster meat, the time limit is 150 hours. ]
Shi Qingqing quickly clicked "Reject".
She has other plans later, so it would be a bit tight for her to accept the task at this time.
Besides, there is not much meat left to dig out from this wild beach.
With the 120 points obtained from two tasks, I will think carefully about what to buy that is most cost-effective and will last the longest.
Putting aside the matter of Haihuo Mall, Shi Qingqing used the ability of Xiaomizhu to sneak underwater.
This time she went a little further and touched a deeper part of the seabed, and of course, saw more garbage.
There were also some corroded wooden boats under the water. They were simple in shape and didn't look like they contained any valuable treasures. So she didn't explore them but started catching any seafood she could see on the reefs.
Swimming crabs, mud fish, mantis crabs, and I also picked up a dozen large clams.
Basically, when the small net is half full, I go up to breathe and throw it to Zhao Fengnian.
It took Shi Qingqing only three breaths for Zhao Fengnian to go from being dumbfounded to having a silly smile on his face, and then to giving the old man a contemptuous hint with his eyes.
After going into the water two or three times, Shi Qingqing felt that her strength was almost exhausted and decided to go down just once more.
When she was diving to a water level with very low visibility, she suddenly felt panicky. Fearing death, she quickly swam to the surface. Unexpectedly, when she was about to surface, she saw a fishing boat sailing in the distance, and felt something jumping on the water next to the boat.
After the fishing boat went away, she swayed and chased it for more than ten meters, and found that there were many shrimps dropped where the fishing boat had just passed, and they were very large!
The largest one is longer than an elementary school ruler!
If they weren't in the water, Shi Qingqing would have laughed out loud.
I don’t know if these are the fish that slipped through the fishing boat’s big net, but people won’t go back to look for these dozens of fish. But she doesn’t mind and will take all the ones she can reach.
But even if so many were sold, they might not be sold at a high price... Shi Qingqing simply opened the mall, and sure enough, Haihuo Mall scanned these mantis shrimps and two sea cucumbers and sold them for 80 points.
It’s almost as much as what we got from the previous mission!
Thinking that was all she had for the day, she swam ashore and found a puddle to wash the sand off her hands and legs. She saw several mud fish hiding in it.
Shi Qingqing cried out in surprise and surrounded them directly.
Zhao Fengnian took over the fish and made a curtain for Shi Qingqing to help her change her wet clothes.
On the way back, the couple were in a good mood. Zhao Fengnian praised Shi Qingqing for her good swimming ability. He didn't even see Shi Qingqing come up to breathe several times.
Shi Qingqing thought to herself that this was bad. She always calculated the time to go up. Next time if there were other people present, she must pay attention to this problem.
"Oh, maybe I swam too far and took a breath so you didn't see me. Otherwise, why would a normal person stay in the water for a long time without taking a breath? He's not a fish."
"That's right." Zhao Fengnian was a carefree man, so he believed what Shi Qingqing said. He then said that the deepest water area he had ever been to when he was a child was a reservoir, but he never went down because the bottom of the water looked dark.
Every year one or two people would drown there, so he rarely went into the water and mostly went to the mountains.
Shi Qingqing listened quietly.
After returning home, Zhao Fengnian fetched a lot of water and boiled two large pots for Shi Qingqing to take a hot bath.
Only after washing her hair and taking a shower did Shi Qingqing feel refreshed. While Zhao Fengnian was exchanging the seafood for money, Shi Qingqing couldn't wait to click on the merchandise column.
Looking at her 200 points, Shi Qingqing couldn't help but move her fingers~
