At Shanming Island Pier, Uncle Lin and a young man were already waiting there.
Seeing Lu Chuanbei and the others approaching, Uncle Lin threw a few life jackets over without a word and said, "Put them on and get on the boat. You only have one afternoon. When the time is up, whether you catch any fish or not, I will drive the boat back immediately."
After saying that, he looked at the boy on the side and said, "Aqi, untie the rope."
"Okay." Lynch stood on the deck and was about to untie the rope tied to the dock.
Upon seeing this, Lu Chuanbei and others quickly fastened their life jackets and ran towards the boat.
As soon as he got on board, Lin Qi untied the boat and pulled up the anchor. Uncle Lin, who was already sitting in the cab, turned the rudder and headed towards the sea...
On the other side, Song Tiantian asked Xu Anjia curiously: "Jia Jia, have you ever dyed your fingernails?"
"No, but I've seen my mom paint her nails, and they look so beautiful." Xu Anjia said excitedly, "So ours must look good too if we paint them with flowers."
"My dear, your mother uses nail polish to paint her nails, not flowers."
Xu Qi hurriedly persuaded them, "Also, don't forget that, except for our own yard, everything else on the island needs to be exchanged."
"Then let's get something to exchange!" Xu Anjia said and quickly ran into the house.
Not long after, Xu Anjia ran out happily holding a palm-sized bear and said to Xu Qi, "This is my favorite bear. Can I trade it for flowers with Grandpa Lin and the others?"
"Uh..." Before Xu Qi could react, Song Tiantian's eyes lit up and she said, "Yeah, we can even exchange our own things for it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Tiantian ran towards the room.
As soon as she entered the house, Song Tiantian quickly pulled out her small suitcase.
In addition to a few small clothes, Song Tiantian's suitcase also contained a small box.
She quickly opened the box, and inside were bottles and jars of pills, ointments, etc. that she had made during this period.
Upon seeing this, fans in the live broadcast room immediately pointed at one of the bottles of pills and exclaimed.
[Wait, am I seeing things? Tiantian actually brought the Five Black Pills!]
[What? Is that the Wuhei Wan that I've never been able to buy? Where is it? Let me see it!]
[It's in the small box that Tiantian opened, in the black jar!]
[Oh my god, it really is the Five Black Pills. Besides the Five Black Pills, are the others also medicines?]
[Could it be that Tiantian is planning to trade these medicines with Uncle Lin and the others?]
That’s right, that’s what Song Tiantian thought.
Song Tiantian picked out a lot of things in the small box before finally picking out a small jar of ointment: "This is it, Grandma Lin and the others should like it."
After picking out the things, Song Tiantian quickly packed her suitcase and trotted out.
In the yard, Xiangfangnan and He Jingnian each took something and prepared to go to Uncle Lin and the others to exchange it.
I wonder if Xu Qi also wants to know whether Song Tiantian and the others’ idea will work.
So he didn't try to persuade them any further, but instead led them towards the village hall.
As soon as he arrived at the village hall, Xu Qi saw that the notice board, which had been covered by ivy, had been reorganized. Not only that, there were also a few big words written on it: "Material Exchange?"
"Wow, it's only been half a day and you've already come up with a name?" Xu Qi said.
"Could it be that it was already written down and only written down now?"
Xu Qi lowered his head and glanced at Xiang Nan: "What you said makes sense."
"You're the one who's stupid, Dad. You didn't think of it, right?" Xu Anjia said to spoil the fun.
"Ahem, what nonsense are you talking about." Xu Qi quickly changed the subject: "By the way, didn't you just say you wanted to change things? Now that we're here, why don't you go in?"
"Let's go, let's go in quickly." Xu Anjia hurriedly pulled Song Tiantian and walked towards the village hall, or, no, it's also called the Material Exchange.
As soon as we entered, we saw several elderly people, except Uncle Lin, playing chess in the shade of the trees in the yard to cool off.
Under the eaves on the other side, there were four or five old ladies mending their fishing nets, laughing and chatting.
I don't know why, but just looking at these old men and women makes me feel so peaceful.
If I can live like this in my later years, with my loved one by my side and a few close friends, then growing old won't be so unacceptable.
I've always been afraid of getting old, but seeing them enjoying their old age so leisurely and calmly, I feel like I can handle it.
"Grandma Lin, Grandma Xiu, we are here again." As soon as Song Tiantian and others entered the yard, they chattered and greeted Grandma Lin and others happily.
When they heard Song Tiantian's voices, Grandma Lin and the others immediately stopped what they were doing and asked, "It's Tiantian, why did you come here in the hot sun?"
"Hey, we're here to exchange things with you, grandma."
"Yes, yes, yes. I want to use my favorite teddy bear to exchange for some flowers from Grandma Lin and the others." Xu Anjia hurriedly handed the teddy bear in his hand to Grandma Lin and the others.
"And this." He Jingnian reluctantly took out his favorite fidget spinner and said to Grandma Lin and the others, "This is my favorite fidget spinner. Grandma Lin, can I exchange it for snacks?"
"I also have something to exchange." Song Tiantian quickly raised the small box in her hand and said to Grandma Lin and the others.
"No." Grandma Lin said to Song Tiantian and the others with a gentle smile.
"Why?" Song Tiantian's raised hand suddenly stopped.
Xiangfangnan frowned and asked directly, "Didn't they say we can barter here? Why can't we exchange our things?"
"Because, here we can only use seafood for barter." Uncle Lin on the side said with a smile.
"What?" Xu Qi looked at him hurriedly: "The only way to barter is with seafood?"
"Yes, isn't it written on our door? The commodity exchange only accepts seafood for barter."
"When did it happen? We were..." Before he could finish his words, Xu Qi seemed to have thought of something and quickly ran towards the door.
Sure enough, below those material exchanges, there were a few inconspicuous small words.
Xu Qi squinted his eyes and searched for a long time before he found those words in the corner at the bottom of the words "Material Exchange".
"My goodness, the words are so big, are you afraid that we can't see them?" Xu Qi looked at the words and felt a little unwell.
The few little guys in the yard felt a little disappointed when they learned that nothing other than seafood was accepted here.
Song Tiantian hung her head and said pitifully, "Then do we have to wait for Dad and the others to catch some fish before we can exchange them?"
Grandma Lin forced herself to nod and said, "Yes, as long as you bring seafood, you can exchange it."
"Then let's go catch some crabs!" He Jingnian's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Song Tiantian: "Didn't you catch a big blue crab this morning?"
"If we catch another one, we can exchange it for something else."
"You can go fishing, but you can only do it when the tide is low, and it's high tide now." Song Tiantian said dejectedly, "If we wait until the tide is low, we'll have to wait until after nine o'clock in the evening."
"A little after nine?" He Jingnian hurriedly raised his hand to check his watch: "Shouldn't that mean there are still seven or eight hours left?"
"So long?" Xu Anjia felt terrible: "Then if I pick flowers and paint my nails today, then there is no hope."
Grandma Xiu looked towards Xu Anjia and asked, "Do you want to dye your nails?"
"Yeah," Xu Anjia nodded, "The flowers here are so beautiful. I want to use them to paint my nails."
Hearing this, the old ladies were all amused: "Not all flowers can be used to dye nails."
"Huh?" Xu Anjia's eyes widened. "Isn't it enough to just make medicine from pretty flowers?"
"Of course not. Ordinary flowers can't be used to dye nails." Grandma Xiu said with a smile: "Only Impatiens can be used to dye nails."
When Song Tiantian heard about Impatiens balsamina, her eyes lit up immediately: "I know Impatiens balsamina is also known as Impatiens balsamina, and it is a medicinal herb that can be used to treat digestion, abdominal distension, choking, bone stuck in the throat, and amenorrhea!"
"Yes, it is a medicine, and it is also henna for dyeing nails. When we were young, we all used it to dye our nails." Grandma Xiu couldn't help but curved her eyebrows when she talked about the scene when she and her sisters used to look for henna flowers of various colors in the mountains as a child, and make their own fuel to dye their fingers.
A few old ladies nearby also laughed: "Back then, we were beaten by our parents for painting our nails."
"That's right. Once Impatiens gets stained, not only will my hands be stained, but sometimes even my clothes will get stained. Every time this happens, my mom scolds me for staining my clothes."
Although he said so, the old man's eyes were full of nostalgia for his childhood.
That scene also touched many fans who were watching the live broadcast.
[Suddenly... I miss my mother...]
[I was video chatting with my mom the other day, and suddenly I noticed she had more white hair... Never mind, I'm going to take some time off right now to go home and spend some time with her!]
Although there was no hope of exchanging anything, Song Tiantian still handed the ointment in her hand to Grandma Lin: "Grandma Lin, this is for you."
"No," Grandma Lin declined, "It's not seafood and I can't exchange it for anything else."
"I know, but this is a gift from me to you."
"A gift for us?" Grandma Lin looked at her in surprise.
Song Tiantian said: "Well, this is grape pectin that my family makes. It can whiten, remove spots, moisturize and beautify the skin. It works very well."
Grandma Lin was stunned for a moment. Before she could say anything, she saw Song Tiantian and others running out of the yard.
Grandma Lin looked at the small jar in her hand, which was not even the size of her palm, and for a moment she didn't know how to react...
