"If it's too late to send it, you can pick it up next time."
Feng Xi looked at the six hundred coins in his palm and felt a little unreal.
This amount of money might be insignificant to He Family Restaurant, but for Fengxi, it represented half a year's income, plus hundreds of trips to and from the city.
I never imagined I could earn so much from home!
He looked at Ruan Meng with some emotion and gratitude.
"Second Brother, hurry up and go talk to the village chief and Brother Feng, and start making preparations!"
"Let's go down the mountain first, and once the oysters are collected and cleaned, we'll all come up to help before we head out to the beach in the evening!"
Feng Xi reacted slowly and didn't have time to say anything.
Ruan Meng asked with a smile, "Second brother, how many of these food boxes did you make? Can I use them all first?"
Feng Xi snapped out of her daze and hurriedly stuffed all six of the prepared cookies into Ruan Meng's hands.
He then realized and said, "Little sister has already helped enough, you go ahead and do your own thing. I'll go find my dad and older brother for help."
He looked at Xiao Kai and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper. Even if we don't sleep tonight, you can still come tomorrow morning and we'll definitely let you take it with you!"
Xiao Kai originally intended to offer some words of comfort, telling him he didn't need to work so hard and that it would be fine to wait a day or two.
But then I thought, if the food boxes are prepared earlier, the restaurant can do more delivery business.
The better the delivery business, the greater the demand for food containers, which inevitably increases the need for their production capacity.
Therefore, Xiao Kai smiled, cupped his hands, and said nothing.
Back down the mountain, the beachcombing was over. The eldest sister-in-law and her sister-in-law, Sister-in-law Feng, had handed over the work. The Song and Fan families had already cleaned and processed the oysters, and they were working even faster.
The second and third brothers carried the three basins of oyster meat to their own doorstep and rinsed them again.
Upon seeing Ruan Meng return, the third brother excitedly stood up and presented half a bucket of peeled fish to Ruan Meng like a treasure.
"Little sister, look! I caught so many!"
Ruan Meng gave a thumbs up, then noticed the bread crabs in the bucket next to her and suddenly felt playful.
"Second Brother..."
Ruan Yi was rinsing the oyster meat when he heard this and got up.
"What's wrong, little sister?"
"Let me show you. Do you know what a favorite food is?"
"Um?"
The second child became interested.
Ruan Meng poured the bread crabs into an empty wooden basin so they could see them more clearly.
Two bread crabs were visible, with bubbles constantly rising from below their eyes.
"Huh? Why are they spitting water?"
The third brother said with disdain.
The second son squatted down to examine it and found it somewhat interesting.
"Second brother, I still don't know what the water from breadcrumbs tastes like!"
The third brother couldn't help but laugh and quietly hid behind him.
It's none of my business.
Although the Ruan siblings were somewhat familiar with Xiao Kai, they still didn't understand him.
When the elder brother and sister-in-law heard that Xiao Kai had returned, they came out to keep him company, and just then they heard Ruan Meng say this.
"What do you mean, sister?"
The second child didn't quite understand. He wanted to ask, "If my sister wants to know, why don't we just try it and find out?"
But when he saw his younger sister looking at him innocently, he realized what was going on.
He pointed back at himself, "Little sister wants your second brother to try it for you?"
Ruan Meng opened her eyes wide and nodded innocently.
The elder sister-in-law knew Ruan Meng's limits, was familiar with seafood, and had medical skills, so she did not stop her.
Seeing Ruan Meng's posture, he guessed that she was teasing the second son and sighed deeply.
A gentle smile also appeared on the elder brother's face.
Unfortunately, the second brother lacked understanding of his sister's ruthlessness, or perhaps he underestimated her.
He picked up a bread crab, looking somewhat nervous.
With her other hand, she reached out to the breadcrumbs, caught the water they spat out, and carefully brought it to her mouth.
With an expression as if he were drinking medicine, he closed his eyes and poured it into his mouth.
"ah!"
The second child screamed, "What is this thing?!"
"Water! Water!"
The second child fled in agony, squatting behind the house, vomiting and rinsing his mouth.
Seeing this, the third brother became curious and asked, "What exactly is this thing spitting out?"
Ruan Meng curved her lips, revealing eight teeth.
"It smells and stinks..."
The third brother's eyes widened. "Isn't that pee?"
Seeing that Ruan Meng didn't answer, the third brother's eyes widened even more, "Little sister, you've had it?!"
