Chapter 256 The harvest is too little
Yun Xiang immediately acted annoyed that he hadn't listened to her, and when she was feeling proud, he changed the subject, "You've finished digging your patch, right? Where are you going next? How about we follow you?"
Follow her? The woman’s eyes immediately turned into vertical pupils, and she hurriedly laughed it off to Yun Xiang, “I… I’m just an ordinary family member, I don’t have that ability.
Oh, I haven't finished digging yet, so I came out to get some fresh air. "Oh," the woman said worriedly, afraid that Yun Xiang would really follow them, "we harvested about the same as you. If we work harder, we can dig a lot too." After saying that, she left without looking back.
"Pfft..." Zhao Tianshuo couldn't help laughing.
At the same time, Zhao Ke said disdainfully, "Virtue, she's spoiled."
Everyone started to criticize him.
Soon the incident involving the woman passed amid everyone's laughter.
The further east you go, the fewer mudflats there are and the more rocks there are.
Yunxiang spotted a reef with layers of rocks, pushed himself up with his hands, and jumped onto it. There were many sea snails clinging to it.
"Hiss!" Yun Xiang accidentally cut a hole in the shell of the clams.
She shook her hands, sprinkled some hemostatic powder, took out her gloves and put them on.
"Captain, the outer edges of the mussel shells are sharp and packed together. Without gloves, it's easy to cut your hands."
“…” If you hadn’t told me earlier, she would have been cut.
"Haha... Captain, we thought you could do anything." Zhao Ke said carelessly.
"Ahem, nonsense!" This was too exaggerated. Even though she had become much thicker-skinned recently, she didn't dare to accept it casually.
Zhao Ke, this silly girl, didn't notice Yun Xiang's embarrassment at all. "It's true, we all feel that way."
"...How much did you dig?"
"It's almost a full basket, and I didn't even count the swimming crabs," Zhao Ke excitedly announced the good news, then added, "Captain, you're amazing!"
Yun wanted to push the basket she had used to fool the women to Zhao Ke, "I dug this."
"..." Zhao Ke's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "So little?"
"Well, I can do anything!"
"Cough cough..." Zhao Ke was choked and almost fell down.
Yun Xiang successfully blocked her mouth, and happily took out a small shovel to cut the clams stuck on the stone.
Zhao Ke reacted and pouted, "Captain, how could you do this?"
That's it! Yun Xiang scooped up six rainbow fins in one go. Seeing this, Zhao Ke also hurriedly scooped up some.
After Zhao Tianshuo and several other teenagers finished digging up the seafood on the beach, they found a low rock and cast their nets to catch fish.
The rest of the people looked around. Those who liked fishing looked for suitable places along the coast, while those who didn't like it climbed up the rocks to look for seafood.
Soon, Yunxiang found a starfish, picked it up and threw it into the new bamboo basket.
Then I picked up several more.
Zhao Ke was so eager to pick up the missing items behind her that she was worried. Fortunately, she didn't act. Yun Xiang was so careful that she probably didn't leave any of them behind.
There were many oysters on the rocks. Their shells were hard and tightly attached to the reef. Yun Xiang tried several times but it was difficult to remove them completely.
Moreover, the oyster shells were heavy and took up space, so she simply took out a small awl and took out the meat.
She found a glass jar and put the ice leaf charm on the stopper, and the jar now had a cooling function.
The Ice Leaf Talisman was a premium preservation talisman she crafted from recombined runes, incorporating ice crystal grass leaves. Once the energy was depleted, it could simply be recharged. Each talisman could be used five times.
Most of the talismans she made this time were not attacking talismans.
Seeing this, Zhao Ke followed her lead. Yun Xiang gave them two Ice Leaf Talismans each, and asked her for more if they were not enough.
Yun Xiang had never done this job before and was a bit clumsy.
Zhixia has lived by the sea since she was a child, and prying oysters is her specialty. Seeing this, she climbed up the rock where Yunxiang was staying and demonstrated it to her.
Yun Xiang learned both sides and it really went much smoother. Everyone followed suit.
The titles of the three former beauties are now in name only, but with the passing of Yao Mengzhu, Shi Qixuan and Zhi Xia being frequently trained on missions, they are now only in name only.
Shi Qixuan sat cross-legged on a rock, prying oysters while complaining, "When will this end?"
Everyone was used to it and didn't even look at her.
"If I don't go on missions, all I have left is farming. Oh, by the way, that's your strong point."
"...Farming is so hard!" Shi Qixuan threw away the awl and bent her crossed feet. "Tell me, why is farming so hard?"
"What are you talking about?" Yun Xiang looked at her helplessly, "The cultivated land that Xie Yu and I received as a reward is still empty."
It's not that they didn't take good care of it, in fact, they put a lot of thought into it. They went to Uncle Jersey to get it and learn from him, but it just didn't grow. What can they do? Give up!
There is no way to accept it. Since you can't learn how to farm, you have to learn to stop the loss in time.
"Ah! It's driving me crazy. Either the plants won't grow, or they grow incredibly vigorously and bear no fruit.
I planted some cherry tomatoes from spring to winter, and they grew vigorously, but they just wouldn't bloom. I tried everything, but nothing worked."
"You didn't ask the teacher?"
"I asked, and the teacher just said everyone was like that, and praised me for being talented. That's called talent!"
Everyone pricked up their ears, here it comes!
As expected, Shi Qixuan screamed at the top of her lungs. After she finished, everyone continued to pry as if nothing had happened.
Yun Xiang subconsciously frowned. "This is so common. It means the environment is changing. Maybe there's no solution for the time being."
"I think so too, but I doubt what the teacher said. He probably encouraged me to stick with planting because there's a huge shortage of planters right now."
"I don't think the teacher is that free." Zhao Tianshuo said honestly, and Zhao Ke on the side laughed out loud.
Zhao Tianshuo looked at Zhao Ke in confusion.
Zhao Ke was speechless, "Didn't you hear Sister Xuan was showing off?"
What? Zhao Tianshuo was stunned.
“Pfft…hahaha…”
The busy time passed quickly, and before anyone noticed, the sea had begun to rise again. The fishermen hurriedly gathered their nets, and those prying oysters stopped, packed up their things, and hurried back to camp.
"Bang!" As soon as Zhao Tianshuo jumped off a rock, he was submerged by the sea water.
"Hurry up!" Yun Xiang urged.
Everyone immediately ran forward.
"Huff, huff!" After running out of the high tide range, everyone gasped for breath.
"Oh my god, that's horrible!"
"This... I don't have experience this time, but I'll know next time."
"Let's go."
Back at camp, everyone started sorting through the seafood they'd dug. Seeing the other teams constantly looking at them, Yun Xiang activated a water mist defense charm.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Zixi counted the quantity while others sorted it.
"Ten large baskets of shellfish, eight cans of oyster meat, three baskets of starfish and sea urchins, four baskets of fish, two baskets of shrimp, and three large baskets of swimming crabs." Li Zixi paused. "Sister Xuan found three, Sister Ke found five, Li Zixi found five, Tianshuo found one, and the others—zero—"
"Cough cough..." Suddenly there was a dry cough.
Li Zixi said with a stern face, "The rest were found by the captain."
“…”Everyone felt a little embarrassed.
Li Zixi was worried that the blow was not enough, so he threw down another heavy hammer, "Today's harvest is too little, we have 31 people.
