Ruan Meng had a premonition that Sun Chengen might come back that night, and besides the staple food and seasonings that A Yuan had bought, there was no seafood or wild vegetables left at home.
At this point, Ruan Meng felt more and more that the condiment and pickle business should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Ruan Meng gave Sun Mu'en acupuncture, while the second and third brothers went to the beach. Xiao Kai had more than a dozen guards go into the water to help.
Perhaps influenced by Ruan Meng, Sun Mu'en has accepted the fact that she can be cured, and her spirits have improved considerably.
"Little sister, what are we having for dinner?"
The third brother asked the question as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ruan Mengxiao said, "Third Brother, the reason we had late-night snacks the other day was because they were building houses at night..."
"You've already eaten dinner, are you still hungry?"
The third brother licked his lips and said in a serious tone:
"Aren't you going to expand the house? There will definitely be a lot of people eating there, so Third Brother, pick up plenty of seafood tonight..."
Does that mean we'll have a late-night snack?
The second child asked, "Little sister, can we not eat fried fish?"
Ruan Meng's expression was rather straightforward. Were her brothers getting too cocky?
Having only been in the South Island for a month and just finished building the house, are they already picking out food?
They're starting to dislike fried fish?
The second child quickly explained, "Little sister, it's not that fried fish is bad, it's just that other cooking methods taste better than yours. Could you try a different method?"
"Brother knows that a lot of people ate late-night snacks last night, so frying fish was the quickest way to make it. But there are fewer people eating today, so could we make something else?"
Ruan Meng composed herself. "Let's see what you can catch!"
Ruan Meng wasn't just doing it for convenience; for some sea fish, pan-frying brings out their freshness even better...
Looking at the two wooden buckets in front of the dozen or so people, which were not yet full, Ruan Meng suddenly began to miss A Yuan.
Ah Yuan is currently at sea, returning home with the young master.
He sneezed a few times, muttering to himself, "Hmm? Is someone thinking of me?"
Sun Chengen couldn't help but retort sharply, "Are you sure? It wasn't someone insulting you?"
Ah Yuan smiled confidently, "No way! Ah Yuan is so popular, and Miss Ruan likes me a lot too. Everyone likes me, so who would scold me?"
Turning to meet the young master's gaze, he muttered:
"It's not that there's no one else, except for the young master..."
Even if someone brings you countless disappointments, you can't bring yourself to be heartless and still want to give them hope.
That refers to Ruan Yi.
A group of people were going to the beach, and it was him again who attracted the sea snakes. Luckily, the guards recognized him and helped each other ashore.
The second son was still shaken and dared not go into the water again.
Only after the sea snakes swam leisurely did the third brother and his guards go into the water and make a harvest.
Ruan Meng checked the second brother and confirmed that he was not injured. She looked at her second brother with a mixture of helplessness and schadenfreude.
"It must be because my sister isn't here that I'm having such bad luck!"
The second brother was arguing unreasonably. Ruan Meng wanted to say that when she was around, her second brother wasn't much luckier...
But sometimes, the fright comes with a reward. Poisonous insects, snakes, and wild boars are all eventually exchanged for money, but the second brother is in a worse situation.
Upon seeing this, Sun Mu'en covered her mouth and laughed incessantly.
Ruan Meng taught the maid Caiju massage techniques, instructing her to massage Sun Mu'en once a day to soothe his limbs.
After receiving acupuncture and massage from Ruan Meng, Sun Mu'en's complexion improved significantly, and she fell asleep shortly afterward.
The second brother didn't participate, but the third brother and the guards performed as expected.
The third brother carried a wooden bucket and proudly presented it to Ruan Meng, exclaiming, "Sister, sister! Look, what fish are here!"
The other guards also laughed and brought the fish over.
There were four buckets in total. Not wanting to disappoint her third brother, she asked him to bring a wooden basin and poured out all the fish, which Ruan Meng then checked one by one.
Squid! Squid (image from the internet). Ruan Meng's eyes lit up. She picked up the teppanyaki plate that Xiao Kai had ordered for her, which she hadn't used yet!
Ruan Meng looked surprised when she saw the mudskippers.
"What's wrong, little sister? Can't we eat this fish?"
"no,"
Ruan Meng explained, "This kind of fish is very afraid of people and is very difficult to catch. It's amazing that you were able to catch it!"
Ruan Meng exclaimed, "They jump incredibly fast and are also called mudskippers. In many places, mudskippers are caught as gifts when a baby is born..." (Image of mudskippers from the internet) "Because they jump fast, are full of energy, and are full of symbolism."
The third brother and the guards nodded; it was the first time they had ever heard of mudskippers.
The guards, who had eaten the mudskippers, looked disappointed when they saw that there were only a few mudskippers left in the wooden basin.
As they spoke, the tide came in.
In the distance, a commotion seemed to be coming, growing louder and louder...
