Chapter 289 Earn More Than Setting Up a Street Stall
Haiwa's father squatted down and looked at what they had caught: "Are these edible?"
Wen Zhenyi wrapped himself in Shen Hanxing's coat and could still feel the warmth from the clothes: "It's edible, but hard to catch."
"How much can it be sold for if it is caught?"
Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment and said, "If I sell this to a restaurant, I should make more money than setting up a stall for a whole day."
Haiwa's father looked at her in disbelief: "The problem is that the restaurant doesn't recognize these things."
"They don't know him, but I do. You can sell it to me."
"You want to collect it?"
"If possible, it would be nice to occasionally make some special food to satisfy the taste buds of diners."
Haiwa's father turned his head to look at the sea under the boat, and could still see a lot of seafood she had just caught. It seemed that they had never cared about the things hiding in the dark in the sea.
"Let's go back first and talk about it later." After saying that, he stood up and collected the fishing net that had been cast out with Haiwa.
We were lucky today. We caught a lot of fish, shrimps, squids and octopuses in our fishing nets, big and small.
Haiwa also picked out the small fish and shrimp and threw them back into the sea to set them free.
Haiwa's father rowed them back to the beach. There were fewer fishing boats here, and they must have all gone out to sea.
A Xiang jumped off the boat and helped several people get off the boat.
Haiwa's father had to pack up the fishing nets and let Haiwa carry the caught seafood and take them back home first.
When Haiwa's mother saw them coming back and heard Zhenyi's clothes were still wet, she was shocked and said, "Haiwa, what's going on?"
"Auntie, it's okay. I just went to the sea to catch some things."
Hai Wan's mother looked at her in surprise: "You, you went into the sea?"
"I'm a good swimmer, don't worry."
"Did you bring clothes? If not, wear mine first."
"I brought it. Ah Xiang has already gone to the carriage to get it for me."
A Xiang brought the clothes and Hai Wan's mother took her back to the room to change into clean clothes.
Wen Zhenyi took out Shen Hanxing's coat and put it on a rope in the yard to dry: "Brother Shen, I have to ask you to wait a little longer."
"It's okay. Tell me what you do next time so that others won't worry."
When Wen Zhenyi emerged from the sea, he saw his nervous and worried expression and realized that he seemed to have really scared him: "I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
A Xiang looked at the two of them and shook her head. Her master was sometimes too casual.
When the news of Wen Zhenyi's arrival in Hougang Village came, no one knew who leaked it.
Just as Shen Hanxing put on his coat that had almost dried in the sun, the villagers from Hougang Village appeared at the door of Haiwa's house.
When they saw Wen Zhenyi, they all had ingratiating smiles on their faces: "Miss Wen, how come you have time to come to Hougang Village today!"
"You came here to take a look because you wanted to eat seafood." Wen Zhenyi pretended not to know what they wanted to do and practiced Tai Chi with them.
The villagers were now feeling a little awkward. They looked at each other, not knowing how to start the conversation. Finally, they pushed a middle-aged man out.
Wen Zhenyi just looked at him, wanting to see what he wanted to say.
The man felt a little forced, but in the end he still said, "Miss Wen, I am the village chief of Houhai Village, my name is Haiyun."
"Village Chief Haiyun, are you here today for something?"
Haiyun nodded quickly: "I know that what we said may embarrass you, but you are the only one who can help us."
"Are you having any troubles?"
Haiyun sighed: "Miss Wen, you can see that we all rely on the sea for our livelihood. Few people are willing to eat this seafood. Our lives are difficult. Can you help us?"
"How do you want me to help?"
Haiyun was a bit embarrassed. Should he just ask for the recipe? He couldn't do such a thing, but was there any other better solution?
Wen Zhenyi saw that he was silent and knew that he didn't know how to start. "It's still early, why don't you ask Village Chief Haiyun to take me around the village."
"Okay, okay." Haiyun felt relieved when he heard her say that and quickly nodded in agreement.
Wen Zhenyi looked at Shen Hanxing: "Brother Shen, do you want to come together?"
"Let's go."
It was not convenient for the other villagers to follow, so they could only wait at Haiwa's house.
Haiyun took them around the village and introduced them to several families in the village whose ancestors had made a living by fishing at sea for generations.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the houses in the village. They were all made of stone. However, the families were not rich, and the furniture was all repaired and used.
The biggest asset of everyone in the village is probably their boat, which is the most valuable thing in their home.
"Village Chief Haiyun, please take me to a place on the beach with more reefs."
Haiyun didn't know what she was going to do, but he still took her to a place with more reefs.
Wen Zhenyi climbed onto the reef and looked up at it.
Chen Hanxing also looked in the direction she was looking with curiosity, and saw that the reef was densely covered with a lot of things that looked like stones and shellfish, and they were all relatively large in size.
"Sister Wen, what is this?"
"These are oysters." He turned to look at Axiang and said, "Axiang, let me use the dagger."
Axiang handed her the dagger.
Haiyun looked at her prying something off the rock in confusion: "Miss Wen, what are you doing prying this thing?"
"This is also edible. Let me see the meat quality."
Haiyun was a little surprised: "Can it be eaten?"
"Yes." Wen Zhenyi looked at the oysters in his hand. The meat was thick and plump. It turned out that they grew well when no one disturbed them.
She pried off a lot more with a dagger, and asked Axiang to find some large leaves, wrap them up and take them back.
Haiyun took the initiative to reach out and help them: "Miss Wen, is this really edible?"
"Okay." He looked at Haiyun and said, "Village Chief Haiyun, you are guarding a treasure mountain without knowing it."
"Baoshan?"
"There are treasures everywhere here." He picked up the conches and shells washed up on the beach. "Including these things, they can all be exchanged for money."
"Ah?" Haiyun didn't know how to describe his mood.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Haiyun watched her pick up a lot of shells and conchs on the beach, and asked Chen Hanxing and Axiang to help her hold them.
When they returned to Haiwa's house, they all had a lot of things in their hands.
When the villagers saw them coming back, they quickly stood up from where they were sitting.
Haiyun put the things in his hand on the table.
Wen Zhenyi asked Haiwa to take the oysters to the kitchen and she would deal with them later.
Haiwa nodded and took the things into the kitchen.
The villagers looked at these things and thought they looked familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen them for a moment.
