Little Cherry's exclamation made the other women unable to hold back any longer, and they all peeked over to look.
One by one, they gasped in disbelief: "This...this..."
"A swimming crab the size of a palm?"
"Abalone the size of a palm? If you sold that..." Realizing she had let something slip, she quickly corrected herself, "If you traded it for meat, you could get quite a bit!"
"The sea cucumber is as thick as my arm. I knew there were sea cucumbers here, but I didn't expect them to be this big."
"Where did you find it? I'll go check!"
The others rushed to the place where Ruan Yunxi had found the seafood, but unfortunately they were unlucky and found nothing.
Ruan Yunxi took all the big heads, leaving none for them, not even the little Kalami.
The sister-in-law who had been mocking Ruan Yunxi for not knowing how to go beachcombing was now looking extremely unhappy.
Ruan Yunxi held up the sea cucumber and gestured, "Did you find a sea cucumber, sister-in-law?"
"Oh my, if this abalone grows any longer, it will be as big as my face."
"What a pity! I didn't see the small seashells, conches, and mantis shrimp that my sister-in-law mentioned. How about this mantis shrimp?"
The woman looked at the mantis shrimp in Ruan Yunxi's bucket, which was three to five times larger than herself, and thought it was the difference between a great-grandfather and a great-great-grandson of a shrimp.
That sister-in-law was almost driven to her death by anger.
Ruan Yunxi smiled smugly and called to Xiao Yingtao: "We had a good haul today. How about we have a hot pot dinner tonight, along with some grilled scallops, squid, and palm-sized abalone? One for each of us, it'll be delicious!"
Little Cherry raised both hands in agreement: "Yay! Let's eat abalone!"
Having gained so much, Ruan Yunxi and her group returned home ahead of schedule.
Those women who had caught too little crabs lingered and wandered around the area where Ruan Yunxi was picking up large crabs, hoping to find some of the catch before the tide came in.
Unfortunately, they didn't have any storage space, so even if they guarded it their whole lives, they would never be able to find the seafood in Ruan Yunxi's bucket.
Ruan Yunxi said to Sister-in-law Sheng, "Don't cook dinner tonight, come to my house for seafood barbecue. But I don't know how to cook, so I'll need your help."
"It's nothing, I'll eat too. I'll be right there, you go back and rest." Sister-in-law Sheng went home and tidied up. She took two eggs, and then took another one, intending to make them an oyster omelet.
Add eggs and flour, and a bowl of oysters, and it's a dish that adults and children alike will love.
Gu Weizhou and Commander Sheng returned before dark. Gu Weizhou was thinking about his wife and wondered how she was doing alone at home today.
Before you even get close, you can smell the aroma of barbecue.
When Little Potato saw his dad, he called out in a loud voice, "Dad, we're having a barbecue at Auntie's house tonight, come on over!"
Commander Sheng: "..."
Why did you go to someone else's house for dinner again?
The next second, barbecue! I love it.
Little Potato saw Gu Weizhou and said happily, "Uncle, you're back! Auntie is amazing! She went beachcombing for the first time and found so many big crabs, abalone, sea cucumbers, and squid! Mom said that if you go with Auntie, you'll get to eat big crabs. I got one, and everyone got one, plus meat!"
Gu Weizhou quickened his pace, sending the little potato, who was talking and swallowing his saliva, flying far away.
Gu Weizhou watched Ruan Yunxi playing with seashells with the little cherry tribe in the yard. The wind blew through her hair, revealing her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her full and pretty forehead.
Their eyes met, and Ruan Yunxi smiled, gesturing to Xiao Yingtao: "Look who's back?"
Little Cherry thought it was her father, but when she looked up and saw Gu Weizhou, her smile remained unchanged, and she waved her hand in a cute, childlike manner: "Uncle is back! Uncle, let me tell you something. Auntie is so amazing! She picked so many delicious things!"
Gu Weizhou's gaze fell on Ruan Yunxi's pretty face. A day apart felt like three autumns, and he longed to hold her face and kiss her.
His wife is amazing; it looks like she had a great haul from beachcombing!
