Ning Yue smiled but didn't respond. Anyway, she could sleep in the tree all night, so she didn't care if the rent was exorbitant.
The three of them, each with a small bucket, slowly walked towards the beach. The sound of crashing waves filled the air, and the sea breeze brought a refreshing coolness and the salty, damp feeling of the seawater. It felt really comfortable.
Fu Yurong suddenly ran towards the beach, shouting, "Sister Fenghua, come quick! There are so many crabs!"
Shu Fenghua shone her flashlight on the beach and saw a large number of small crabs crawling on the sand.
Viewers in the live stream were surprised that beachcombing could actually be fruitful. Some who were about to leave stayed, commenting, "Wow, you really can find so much seafood while beachcombing! I want to go too!"
The crabs were too small, but they were perfect for making spicy crab. Just wash them, cut them open, toss them with seasonings, and then stir-fry them with spicy sauce. Just thinking about the taste makes me want to eat a whole bowl!
【I just saw several sea cucumbers, Rongrong, hurry and pick them up!】
[Look how anxious you guys are! I'm anxious too! Hey, Ruanruan, there's a sea urchin over there, it's delicious!]
Fu Yurong was happily picking up small crabs. These things would freeze when a flashlight was shone on them, making them easy to catch.
Li Ruan picked up whatever she saw besides small crabs. Soon, she used two branches to pick up a black, spiky thing by the rocks. "Look, I found a sea urchin. It's quite big."
Shu Yufeng almost burst out laughing.
Looking again at the buckets in Li Ruan and Fu Yurong's hands, they were both full. "They're quite impressive, managing to gather so little stuff at only half a year old."
In the next ten minutes or so, Li Ruan found another eel, several jellyfish, two tiny green seashells, and a few broken small conches.
The eight of them walked back while talking. Halfway there, they ran into Qiao Xinfu, who had come to pick them up. Li Ruan nudged Zhang Yifeng with her elbow: "Sister Rongrong, slow down. You saw him about to leave. Quickly give the bucket to Shu Fenghua so I can help you carry it."
Zhang Yifeng stuck out his tongue. "The little bit of knowledge you learned in school has long been forgotten. You really do remember how to calculate it."
To be honest, Shu Fenghua is a real character flaw. She's neither good-looking nor talented, but she can sing and dance. Just from the fact that Li Ruan has criticized her, I know that her character is questionable.
The flashlight beam flickered again. Far away, there was a bright red sea anemone, its tentacles swaying heavily in the water as the tide flowed. It was truly a beautiful sight.
The comments section was full of people talking about that couple: "I know why, whenever those two stand together, you feel like the screen is filled with pink bubbles."
【You don't believe him for a second. Where else could he go beachcombing? Why did he have to follow Li Ruan ahead of him?】
Older men, stay away! You're all glamorous on your own!
Fu Yurong also called out, "We'll go back after you pick up some seaweed too."
"Wow! They're swimming crabs! Each one weighs no more than 8 taels. The swimming crabs we're having at home the day after tomorrow cost 870 yuan per catty at the market, and there aren't even eight of them here!"
"Your bucket is full. If you take those back first, you can come back to them later."
[Same here! You also really dislike my fans, it really makes the idol look bad!]
[Who's making you cry with envy, you mean?]
Shu Fenghua felt a sweet warmth in her heart, "Oh no, you'll be helping him carry the buckets later."
Crabs, seaweed, and kelp—it took a long time to fill only half a bucket. It's too little; you'd get tired carrying it.
Zhang Yifeng pulled a small piece of seaweed and rolled it up outside his bucket. Then he slowly ran to Li Ruan's side and said, "Ruan Ruan, you see, we're going down the mountain tomorrow too. That beach will be enough for us to fill our stomachs."
Grouper is very expensive! Several hundred dollars apiece is quite common.
Which fan group's fans are pretending to be casual observers and ruining your reputation? Why pretend when you have something to say?
But my fans are really addictive!
Shu Fenghua also heard Li Ruan's words, and her ears turned cold, but I still walked over and took the bucket from Zhang Yifeng's hand. Damn it, it's really heavy.
Fu Yurong dodged it. "It's not far in total. You can't carry it yourself. It's small. You can walk for a while and then rest. His hands are hands too."
After walking a few steps, you pick up a snail that's a little under an inch long, followed by two small octopuses.
You, Fengfeng, want to build your careers; men will only become stumbling blocks on your path to success.
Nearby, Fu Yurong waved her arm and shouted, "You've got some bad mantis shrimp over there, and you've also picked up a few bad fish."
Fu Yurong also came over carrying a bucket. Li Ruan saw that you were carrying it without much difficulty and offered to help. "You help Sister Fenghua. The two of them are carrying one bucket. Don't tighten your hands."
Does he know what time the tide will come in tomorrow?
"Look, little one, that's a sea anemone, isn't it beautiful?"
"Those eight together probably don't even weigh seven pounds." With a twig, you picked up a crab and put it outside the bucket.
Shining the flashlight downwards: "There are many more here."
The family members all worked in perfect unison, immediately doing the same thing: weighing the seaweed to exchange for points with Director Wang. As for the other gains, they certainly weren't for our breakfast tomorrow.
There was no rushing water from the crevices of the rocks. When the flashlight shone on her, Li Ruan smiled and said, "Look, a grouper, about seven or eight pounds. Just that one fish is worth several hundred. Fishermen on the coast should thank the sea god for blessing them if they don't have such a catch every day."
Is a single fish really that expensive?
"Sister Fenghua, how is he?"
"Of course I know, that doesn't count."
[That depends on whether he can catch it. One thing to watch out for is if it gets outside the crevice in the reef; otherwise, his hopes will be dashed.]
Actually, it wasn't just the production team; the viewers in the live stream could all see that the two of them were being irrelevant. But Li Ruan still spoke indirectly, as if the two of them had no connection whatsoever. It was infuriating no matter how you looked at it.
"None of the dozens of tentacles of a sea anemone contain stinging cells that can release toxins. If you see a sea anemone on the beach, be careful, or you might get stung."
Where the flashlight shone, a bright orange object with few ring-shaped tentacles came into view.
You even let the seaweed that washed ashore go, so your bucket will soon be full.
Li Ruan thought to herself: He also said that he had been watching.
In the spot illuminated by the pear-shaped flashlight, eight swimming crabs appeared to be having a gathering.
Those two really do look good together. Are we secretly dating?
Zhang Yifeng: "I'll bring him down tomorrow morning too. It's better than him going down the mountain alone."
Zhang Yifeng chimed in, "She's wrong. Actually, Ruan Ruan looks stronger than us, but she always thinks about taking care of us."
[Does the director need any odd jobs? You want a salary, as long as you can go beachcombing with Li Ruan. We're here for the food and to enjoy the process.]
Zhang Yifeng: Yes, yes, you've cleaned it up over there, and the bucket is almost full.
Using twigs, I picked up the sea urchins one by one.
