After this little incident, the group became more cautious when passing by the tidal pool, afraid of missing out on a good deal.
Unexpectedly, fate was on their side. The group found several blue crabs, two mackerel, and an electric eel in the surrounding tidal pools.
While catching the electric eel, Commander Lei was accidentally shocked and started trembling like he was having an epileptic seizure, while the people around him burst into laughter.
Su Meihua was both angry and amused. Unable to bear watching any longer, she quickly and accurately grabbed the electric eel with the long tongs that Yu Yao handed her, thus preventing Commander Lei from falling into the pool.
Seeing how funny he was, Aunt Ge teased, "Commander Lei, it's a good thing you're married, otherwise, with your performance in catching the electric eel, Xiao Su might have run away."
Is catching an electric eel really that serious?
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Lu Ze suddenly looked at Yu Yao beside him, as if to prove something, and said, "I catch electric eels better than him."
Yu Yao didn't react for a moment. How did he suddenly become compared to Commander Lei?
When she realized that he was acting this way because of Aunt Ge's words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
How come she didn't notice that Lu Ze had such an adorable side?
You can't laugh, you have to hold it in.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Lu Ze assumed she didn't believe him and repeated it seriously.
“I really caught him better than he did; at least I didn’t get electrocuted like that.” When he said the word “like that,” Lu Ze frowned slightly, with a hint of disdain.
Commander Lei, who had just gotten out of the tide pool and was passing by, thought: "..."
Lao Lu, you are truly my close comrade-in-arms.
After Yu Yao found several more octopuses, even she herself began to have doubts.
Is she God's favorite daughter? Or is this some kind of cheat code from a transmigration novel? Otherwise, how come she always manages to have such a bountiful harvest every time she goes to the beach?
Of course, for Yu Yao, finding bargains was just a side thing; shucking oysters was the main thing.
Besides eating them fresh, the oysters you dig up can also be made into dried oysters.
Dried oysters have many uses. In addition to supplementing the elements needed by the body, they can also prevent dry skin and break down subcutaneous melanin for women, thus playing a role in beauty and skin care.
For men, it is especially nourishing, as it can enhance their sexual performance and has the effect of strengthening virility and tonifying the kidneys.
Lu Ze eating a little bit every day might help his illness.
These were all Yu Yao's thoughts, but she didn't want to tell Lu Ze too much, lest she hurt his pride. She only told him to try and get more.
The three women pried for an hour and were all a little tired.
The men felt sorry for them and let them rest on the beach, while they took care of the rest.
Lu Ze carried Yu Yao's bucket over, intending to fill it up later, but Yu Yao stopped him.
"We won't use this bucket, just use your water bucket. When I came over just now, I saw a lot of fiddler crabs on the mudflats. I plan to catch some to make crab sauce. The remaining space in this bucket can be used to put the fiddler crabs."
"You rest first, and I'll come over and help you catch crabs after I've filled the bucket."
"good."
Yu Yao carried the bucket and went back to the beach to rest with Aunt Ge and Su Meihua.
Of the three, Yu Yao carried the water bucket. Aunt Ge and Su Meihua took turns helping her carry it, worried that she would get tired.
Upon arriving at the beach, Yu Yao stood on the shore and looked towards the rocky area.
It was too far away, and Lu Ze and the others were blocked by the reefs, so they couldn't see anyone.
The three sat under a tree to rest, gazing into the distance; the view from this angle was quite nice.
A gentle sea breeze wafts along the shore, and distant islands appear and disappear in the distance. The blue sea is incredibly tranquil, and occasionally you can see white seabirds chasing schools of fish.
Everything seemed perfect.
This was the retirement life Yu Yao had dreamed of in her previous life, and she never expected to live it so soon after transmigrating into the book.
In the distance, there are several coconut trees, their leaves rustling in the sea breeze.
Aunt Ge said to Yu Yao, "Yu Yao, you stay here and watch the things. We'll go over there and pick some coconuts. When Lu Ze and the others come over, we can have some water to quench our thirst."
Yu Yao looked around at the things and nodded, "Be careful, I'll watch the things."
After the two left, Yu Yao sat and enjoyed the sea breeze.
Just then, four slovenly-looking young men walked over from the other side of the beach. Their carefree demeanor suggested they were used to being idle and lazy.
The man in the middle was wearing a vest with the collar pulled down, revealing an old, patched-up coat. He had a cigarette butt from some unknown brand 1 cigarette dangling from his mouth, and he was smoking and cursing.
"Damn it, this is weird. I was so close to breaking even, but I ended up losing everything, even my underwear. Let's get some money first, I refuse to believe we can't win it back."
After he finished speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on Yu Yao. Recognizing her blue work uniform, he slyly whistled at his brothers beside him and said:
"I was just worried about not having any money, and this money just came to my door. See that woman over there? That blue uniform she's wearing is the uniform of a food factory worker. She works at a food factory, so she must have money on her."
"Let's go, let's borrow some money from her."
The man adjusted his tattered shirt over his shoulders, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and walked towards Yu Yao with a normal yet confident smile.
Seeing the bucket full of seafood in front of Yu Yao, the man whistled, "Hey, young lady, you're in luck, so much haul."
Yu Yao turned around and saw four slovenly men staring greedily at the bucket in front of her.
She frowned and used something to cover the bucket.
The man reached out and grabbed her small hand. "Hey girl, why are you so nervous? We've got something to discuss with you. How about selling me this lobster and this whole bucket of seafood?"
