Chapter 63 Seaweed

When I took money from the cashier, I didn't tie the rope in a knot because I was afraid the amount would not match. This way, if there was any missing, I could get a new one to make up for it.

Yu Ming counted the money clearly every time he took it, but there were always some unexpected situations after he took the money.

Either the pen fell or the cashier's coins fell. When he helped pick them up and went to get the money again, he didn't count them again.

then……

Is it the accounting problem? !

Yu Ming picked up the jar again, urged Jiang Wan to make more oyster sauce, and then hurried back.

"Cousin, I'm going to Aunt Cuifang's house, are you coming?"

"No, I want to finish embroidering the handkerchief as soon as possible."

Now Yin Ning has several handkerchief jobs on hand, and her mind is all on needlework. She even refuses to follow her cousin when she goes out.

"Okay, I'll go by myself then."

Jiang Wan walked out of the house with her hands behind her back.

Mao Cuifang smiled as soon as she saw her. The little girl's arrival brought in another twenty cents to the family account. What a good child!

"Xiao Wan, are you still going to pry oysters today?"

"You still have to pry them open. Aunt Cuifang, my family is still collecting oysters today, but we are only collecting oyster meat. One pound of oyster meat costs one penny. I will take as many as you can pry open today."

With a clang, Mao Cuifang was so scared that the axe in her hand fell to the ground.

"Xiao Wan, are you kidding?!"

A pound of oyster meat costs one cent. She and her mother-in-law can make 50 pounds with their hard work. Isn't that 50 cents?!

Wow, that’s more than what the men on the ship earn!

"Aunt Cuifang, I'm not kidding, we really do buy oyster meat at home."

Jiang Wan confirmed it again and again, and Mao Cuifang finally believed it. She immediately rushed to find her mother-in-law to tell her the good news.

In addition to Aunt Cuifang's home, Jiang Wan also went to Xiaoman's home and Yinzhu's home. Xiaoman's family only had her and her mother, and Yinzhu's family only had Yinzhu as a laborer. The three of them together could not make much, but they could earn some money.

Anyway, it’s more than rushing into the sea.

After notifying everyone, Jiang Wan happily went to find Lian Yue.

Now that her aunt had learned how to make the sauce for pickled spicy snails, Jiang Wan discussed it with her mother and handed the business over to her aunt. The mother and daughter would not be involved in anything else, and they would just have to share 20% of the profits.

After listening to my suggestion, my aunt decided to spend some money to collect snails in the village today.

This way, my cousin can concentrate on sewing handkerchiefs, my uncle can concentrate on recovering from his injuries, my mother can concentrate on making her pills and ointments, and I...

I can go out and play by myself!!

She is still a child at the age of twelve. She doesn't want to be locked up at home working every day.

So she was going to look for Lian Yue to see if he had left. If he hadn't left, she would shamelessly ask him to take her out to sea.

Jiang Wan was lucky. As soon as she arrived at Lian Yue's house, she saw Lian Yue carrying a fishing net.

"Xiao Wan? What's up so early?"

"Hehe~ Brother Lian Yue, you are going out to sea, right? Can you take me with you?"

Lian Yue shook his head without hesitation.

"You're too young. What if something happens to you when you're taken out? No, no."

Jiang Wan: “…”

"Don't worry, my mother and the others all agree!"

"How is that possible?"

Lian Yue put himself in the situation, if he had a sister or daughter who was only in her early teens...

Anyway, there was no way he would agree to let the little girl go out to sea with another man.

"Really? If you don't believe me, when you go to the beach, stop by my house and ask my mother in person."

Jiang Wan was just about to pat his chest and swear to write a letter of guarantee. Lian Yue sighed and nodded in agreement.

The result was of course beyond his expectations. Jiang Wan's mother not only agreed, but also entrusted the baby to him with confidence.

Now Lian Yue had no choice but to take Jiang Wan with him.

He didn't mind taking care of this kid, after all, having more people could help with the work. He was just worried about something going wrong at sea, and he didn't know how well this girl could swim, which was really worrying.

"Xiao Wan, if you want to go see the island outside the fishing village, that's fine, but you must be obedient once you're on the bamboo raft, and don't walk around or jump around on it. Otherwise, I'll come back and throw you on the beach even if I have to go a long way."

"Yeah! Don't worry!"

She would never joke with her own life.

The two finally reached an agreement. They soon arrived at the place where the bamboo raft was parked. At this time, Lianqiao was carrying the water basin, rope and other items onto his bamboo raft.

When he saw Jiang Wan carrying a basket and planning to go with him, his face was full of questions as to what was going on.

"This girl wants to go out to sea to see some new things. Her mother has agreed. She will go with my raft."

"Really?"

Lian Qiao's expression was indescribable. He thought his brother was very brave to bring a little girl on the bamboo raft.

The little girl has the most things to do. For example, when her sister goes out to sea, she wants to drink water, go to the toilet, and then go back to the sea. It's really annoying.

Lian Yue didn't say anything more and led everyone onto the bamboo raft.

After untying the rope, the bamboo raft quickly left the shore.

Jiang Wan sat obediently in the middle seat, watching the fishing village gradually disappear before her eyes.

After about two incense sticks, two small black dots appeared in her sight. Lian Qiao and Lian Yue separated directly and went to different sides.

The tide had receded, and most of the islands were exposed above the water. Lian Yue found a place to stop the raft and held out his arms for Jiang Wan to climb ashore.

"I'm going to collect the cages. Do you want to come with me or play by yourself?"

Jiang Wan wanted to say she wanted to go together, but her eyes had already seen several treasures and she immediately lost interest in collecting the cages.

Anyway, she will be able to see the harvest of the cage when she gets on the bamboo raft, so she is going to go treasure hunting now!

"I'm just wandering around here to get some stuff. Brother Lian Yue, don't worry about me."

Jiang Wan took his small shovel and pickaxe and walked excitedly towards the entire reef wall not far ahead.

When the tide rises, it brings in a lot of things from the deep sea, and when the tide recedes, it often leaves them behind.

There are many reddish-brown things that look like hair hanging on this stone wall. People who don’t know the goods may think they are seaweed, but those who know the goods know that the purple leaves are sea moss.

Jiang Wan actually didn't remember much about Chinese medicine, but she did remember the effects of this seaweed.

Seaweed can clear the lungs and relieve constipation, and it can also nourish the skin and lose weight, hehe~

This is an ingredient that every beauty-loving girl should like.

She likes to use this seaweed as a salad or make it into a seaweed and cod soup. This soup is served at many wedding and wedding banquets and has always been loved by everyone.

Jiang Wan happily plucked all the hair algae hanging on the stone wall and tied them up with the dry grass she brought with her.

The basket will be useful later, so you’d better keep the hair algae in your hands.
