Widow Zhang, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. She suddenly stood up and said, "Village chief, Acheng is now a great benefactor of the village. I think we should just forget about dividing the beach into areas. We used to be able to go wherever we wanted."
"Yeah, we need to divide it into zones. I clearly saw an octopus over there, but I was too embarrassed to go over."
"Yes, yes, besides, we don't usually get much from beachcombing, so it's unnecessary."
"It's all about luck anyway, village chief, there's really no need for that."
Several villagers started talking all at once.
The main issue is that people used to just do things haphazardly, and after the areas were divided, everyone felt it was inconvenient, so they took this opportunity to bring it up.
Faced with widespread anger, Chen Jinhai's face flushed red and then turned pale. In the end, he had no choice but to announce that the regional division was canceled.
Ye Cheng pursed his lips. This was not bad. At least he could travel less. However, the beach in Liu Village was different. Sometimes it would be nice to go hunting in the wild.
Seeing that the village chief had agreed, Widow Zhang looked at Ye Cheng with a smug expression.
Ye Cheng understood that Widow Zhang wanted to mend their relationship.
"Auntie, I'll call you if I need any help in the future."
"Okay, okay, feel free to contact me, I'm always free." Widow Zhang was overjoyed.
I thought it would be an ordinary day, but so many things happened.
That evening, Duan Yong personally delivered the IOU. There was still little communication, but his attitude had indeed improved considerably.
But you uncles and aunts, where are the chickens and ducks you promised me? I haven't seen a single one.
After lending 3,000 yuan to Duan Yong's family, Ye Cheng only had 3,500 yuan left. He hoped to save some money soon.
The night sky after the storm was exceptionally bright.
......
After experiencing a luck value of 0 yesterday, Ye Cheng now feels traumatized whenever he opens the system.
Unexpectedly, a dialog box popped up as soon as I opened it:
[Basic luck bonus activated, current bonus value is 20.]
addition?
Ye Cheng took a look.
Luck: 80+20
Points: 220
The luck stat has changed; the base luck stat now includes a "+20".
If your luck value was originally 0, it will become 20.
If your bonus value keeps increasing, then you don't need to worry about the base luck value.
What a great thing! This is a guaranteed minimum wage.
However, this guaranteed minimum is a bit low. If there were a guaranteed minimum of 50, Ye Cheng could go beachcombing every day.
I don't know where this bonus value comes from. I'm not wearing any equipment or necklaces. I don't know if it's related to yesterday's storm.
Who cares? Let's live for today. At least today's luck is 100, I've never had such a high luck score before.
Early in the morning, Jiang Yunxiang came over and brought him a dish: braised beef brisket with potatoes. Of course, it was mostly potatoes, as beef was too expensive.
She brought him some more bed sheets and duvet covers, and Jiang Yunxiang took the dirty clothes back to wash them, saying that hand washing makes them cleaner.
After finishing breakfast, Ye Cheng looked at his yard. Yesterday's heavy rain had left the prepared ground wet, and he wondered if the chives and radishes he had planted would survive.
Xiao Hu didn't come over until after breakfast, which was quite rare.
Ye Cheng went directly to the door, and when he entered, he found that Xiao Hu was still asleep.
"The second son is here. Xiao Hu helped his second uncle with chores last night and worked quite late. I'll go call him." Xiao Hu's mother said as she went into the room and pulled Xiao Hu up.
"Brother, why are you up so early?" Xiao Hu said, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
"It's already 8 o'clock, it's still early, let's eat something quickly, we're going to go beachcombing today."
"Ah, go today? Okay, okay."
"Mom, give me two steamed buns, I'm going to go beachcombing with Cheng."
Upon hearing about beachcombing, Xiao Hu was instantly wide awake and didn't even want to eat.
"Eat first, then we'll go. There's no rush." Ye Cheng pulled him down to sit. He always believed that breakfast was essential, otherwise the body couldn't handle it.
Seeing Ye Cheng's insistence, Xiao Hu could only sit down and quickly start rummaging through the food.
Actually, eating breakfast only takes about 10 minutes. After finishing, Ye Cheng told him to take a few snakeskin bags and set off.
What would it be like to have a luck stat boosted to 100?
Unlike before, this time when Ye Cheng and his group passed through the village, people would greet him from time to time, as everyone still remembered what happened yesterday.
"Brother, look how much nicer everyone is to you now." Xiao Hu
Ye Cheng rolled his eyes at him, "Your attitude towards you hasn't changed."
"Things have changed, bro. It feels pretty good to be respected like this."
"So this is how you gain respect? This means people won't treat us like bad guys anymore. We're far from being respected. Besides, why do we have to be respected? We don't live our lives to impress others."
The two chatted idly until they reached the beach, where this time there were no designated areas.
Yesterday's waves brought a lot of life to the mudflats, including some sand clams and green clams that could be seen with the naked eye, as well as stone crabs that occasionally came out to stroll around.
Several early-rising middle-aged women had already started picking up the trash with small buckets.
Storms mean danger, but the ocean is fair; danger often brings opportunity as well.
Therefore, the harvest on the beach doubles after each storm.
Widow Zhang was also there with a bucket, wearing a straw hat, picking through the rubble. When she saw Ye Cheng arrive, she even greeted him.
"Second brother, Little Tiger, there are a lot of sand armor over here, come over and pick some sand armor."
"Auntie, you continue, let's take another look."
Ye Cheng replied and was about to leave, but Widow Zhang had already come over, wiping the sweat from her forehead, "Second brother, why do you always have a big catch when you go beachcombing, while I only get sand clams and stuff?"
Ye Cheng glanced at her bucket; there were about twenty sand beetles. They could make a stir-fry, but selling them for money was out of the question.
"Auntie, we were just lucky. I saw Aunt Zhao just touched the 'King of the Sixty-Year-Olds' charm." Ye Cheng pointed to Aunt Zhao over there, happily showing off.
"Oh, is there a King of the Sixties? I'm going over there. Call me if you need anything." Upon hearing about the King of the Sixties, Widow Zhang hurriedly turned around and rushed over. At this speed, even Usain Bolt wouldn't dare to spread his arms wide.
After saying goodbye to Widow Zhang, Ye Cheng led Xiao Hu to the other side. There were too many people here. A little further away, there were significantly fewer people, and the mudflats were filled with more seawater, with small puddles scattered everywhere. Ye Cheng didn't believe there was no cargo in there.
The two went down, and as soon as they got down, Ye Cheng saw something red bounce around on the mudflat.
This thing is blood red, long and thin, and looks just like a loach from the farmland, only a little longer and with a larger head.
Ye Cheng bent down, scooped it up with a net, and pulled it out. It was still alive, its body a little longer than Ye Cheng's palm, slippery, and felt like a loach.
