Hu Xiaowen also planned to invite a few more military wives to go with her in the family compound so that she could pick up more.
"If you go to the beach, please be careful and don't get separated and walk too far." Huo Ci reminded Jiang Yushan worriedly after learning that she was going to the beach.
If he could take more leave, I would have wanted to go with him.
Although the troops are stationed on the island, there are still some uncertain factors after leaving the troop range and going to the seaside, and the possibility of encountering danger cannot be ruled out.
"I see. We've been to the sea once before, and Sister Hu is very experienced. You don't have to worry too much." Jiang Yushan nodded, reassuring Huo Ci.
She now knows clearly what to pay attention to when going to the beach. Hu Xiaowen had explained it to her very clearly before.
The next morning, Jiang Yushan got up before dawn, had breakfast with Huo Ci, packed his equipment and went out.
Hu Xiaowen called three military wives from the family compound, brought their tools and waited, and they set off for the beach before dawn.
At daybreak, several people came to the beach. The tide had just receded, and it was a good time to go fishing.
This was the second time Jiang Yushan had come to the beach in his life. Unlike the last time he came at noon, the beach was still quite cool in the morning, and the sand was still stained with the tide that had not completely receded, making it exceptionally soft.
There were not many people at the beach early in the morning, only some fishermen were busy at work. A few boats could be seen in the distance, and I didn't know whether they were about to go out or had already returned.
"It's the most comfortable time to go to the beach. It's not too hot, but you have to be careful not to fall into the sea." Hu Xiaowen was in a good mood and did not forget to joke with them.
It was almost daybreak now, so I wouldn't lose sight of anything and fall into the sea.
"Okay, everyone go and pick them up. Seafood is not easy to preserve. Just pick enough to eat for two days. Don't pick too much." Hu Xiaowen said with a smile.
I heard that these three military wives who were called here were there to provide extra meals for the soldiers, so they all took the initiative to sign up for this sea-hunting activity.
A few people nodded and dispersed. The tide had just risen in the morning, and a lot of seafood was washed up. Some of them were not even on the sand yet, so it was not easy to pick them up.
After walking along the beach for a while, everyone's buckets were already half full.
Jiang Yushan brought a large bucket and after filling it up, she quietly threw it into the space, thinking that she would find a way to quietly take it out when she got to the cafeteria.
The soldiers all loved the seafood in sauce she made, and she wanted to make more so that some soldiers wouldn't be left without it, and even Huo Ci would have nothing to eat.
"Are you the wives of soldiers working in the family compound?" A fisherman looked at them picking up so much seafood, and suddenly came up to one of the wives and asked curiously.
"Yes." Seeing that he was a fisherman, the military wife was not too wary and nodded.
The fact that there are troops on the island is known to all the residents of the island. It is normal for the women to guess their identities when they were fishing at the beach, which is close to the military area.
"How did you catch so much seafood?" the fisherman asked again.
The wives of soldiers in the family compound usually don’t pick up too much when they come to the beach to catch seafood, because there are few people in their family and seafood is difficult to preserve, so they just pick up a little to take home.
They were holding a bucket half a person's height and pouring all the garbage picked up from the small bucket into it. It looked a bit abnormal at first glance because the quantity was too much.
The three large buckets we brought were full, enough for the canteen.
"You didn't pick this up for the army canteen, did you?" The fisherman asked without waiting for the wife to answer.
He was quite perceptive. The military wife who was asked was a little surprised, but she was not on guard and nodded.
"Do you want a lot of seafood?" the man asked again. "I caught quite a lot myself. If you need any, I can sell it to you. Besides, I live by the sea. If you need any seafood, I can supply you in the future."
Although the military wife being asked did not know the situation of the army canteen, she learned from Hu Xiaowen that the canteen needed a lot of seafood. Now that someone was delivering seafood to her door, she was still a little tempted.
But she couldn't make the decision, so she didn't agree directly. Instead, she looked around, trying to find Hu Xiaowen to discuss it.
Jiang Yushan filled his bucket and came over to pour the seafood into the big bucket. He happened to see the chat here and walked over with the bucket: "What's wrong?"
She looked at the man with wariness in her eyes, subconsciously thinking that he was harassing the military wife. She even pulled the military wife to half-block her.
The military wife felt a little amused when she saw her actions. To be honest, Jiang Yushan looked more like the one who needed protection.
But now that she is protected, it is impossible for her not to feel touched, and her impression of Jiang Yushan has improved a lot.
She pulled Jiang Yushan and was about to explain, but she didn't expect the man to speak first.
When the man saw Jiang Yushan appear, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect to see such a beautiful girl on the beach. It was because of this that he was stunned for a moment and did not explain at the first time.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a fisherman from nearby. I make a living by fishing." The man explained to Jiang Yushan, "I saw you guys were fishing here and it looked like you needed a lot of seafood, so I came over to ask if you needed any."
"No need, what we picked up ourselves is enough." Jiang Yushan refused without thinking.
The army canteen has supplies of ingredients, and there are special people responsible for catching seafood. They came out to catch seafood this time just because the soldiers liked it so much and they wanted to get more.
There is a huge difference between picking up something yourself and buying it. It requires extra money and is also a drain on the troops, which is not appropriate.
What's more, the food they picked up themselves is safe, but it's hard to say about the purchased food. They don't have the right to make such a decision. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome. After all, there was a food poisoning incident in the third canteen.
The military wife didn't expect Jiang Yushan to refuse so directly. She looked at her in surprise, but didn't say much at this moment. She felt that Jiang Yushan must have her reasons for doing so.
The man didn't expect to be rejected. He was stunned for a moment and tried to argue: "Look, you guys worked so hard to go to the sea, and you only picked up this little. I have goods here, you can take as much as you want."
"No need, what we picked up ourselves is enough. We don't have money to buy more." Jiang Yushan shook his head with a firm attitude.
"This price is negotiable. I see how hard you work, and I'm in this business. If you really want it, I can give you a lower price." The man continued to persuade.
