But after a while, the fish tank was full. Tang Qingxi had no choice but to clear out the backyard and asked Ye Qingyi to cast a spell to dig out a large fish pond. Except for the tuna that was quickly frozen and put into the cold storage, the rest of the seafood was thrown into the fish pond.
In the afternoon, Tang Qingxi also welcomed the arrival of the "Little Mermaids." Each one brought crabs, abalone, and other seafood to exchange for coins. After exchanging the coins, they cheered and rushed into the supermarket to buy candy.
The mermaids were all good fishermen, and they filled the backyard pond in just one day. Tang Qingxi could only sigh at the fresh fish, thinking that the remaining fish would have to be frozen.
The mermaids were also inspired. In the days that followed, some exchanged giant clams for coins, some for corals, and some for pearls and tortoise shells.
Tang Qingxi's knowledge of marine jewelry was limited to pearls and corals, and he spent a long time researching on his computer. The hawksbill turtle is a large tortoise, a nationally protected species. Its shell can be made into various jewelry, resembling amber and very popular.
Tridacna is a giant shellfish, a Class I protected species in China. It's considered one of the Eight Treasures of Buddhism and an organic gemstone. Each one is more severe than the last, with a minimum of five γΉ“ and no upper limit.
Fortunately, the mermaids sent them shells left after natural death, so Tang Qingxi dared to accept them.
These days, big and small mermaids have joined the battle. The adults are catching fish, and the little mermaids have stopped playing because the adults promised that they can exchange the seafood they catch for what they want in the supermarket.
The noisy sounds woke up the old turtle that protected the mermaid tribe. Is it time for the sea market? The old turtle opened his eyes tiredly.
The little mermaids were not afraid when they saw the old turtle wake up. They all surrounded the old turtle and gave him a candy and I gave him a fruit.
The old turtle didn't get angry and happily ate the food handed to him by the little mermaids.
After eating, he asked the little mermaids to retreat, and then transformed into an old man with white hair and beard and a turtle shell on his back, and took a group of little mermaids to find the patriarch.
The tribe leader has been conducting small-scale experiments these days on the salt-making method that Tang Qingxi gave to the mermaid tribe. He just made a bucket of pure table salt, which was snow-white in color. He dipped a little with his index finger and put it in his mouth. It had no bitterness or astringency.
The salt that mermaids eat today is made from seawater, a bitter, astringent, and full of residue. If it weren't for the fear of lack of energy, no one would eat it. After purifying it using the supermarket owner's method, we have the bucket of salt we see before us.
"It's done, it's done. This is snowflake salt." Tianchi took some more salt and put it in his mouth. The salt in his mouth was of better quality than the green salt sold by salt merchants. Tianchi was so excited that tears came to his eyes.
"What's accomplished? Our little Tianchi is so happy that he's crying." The old turtle joked.
The old turtle is a thousand years older than Tianchi, so there is nothing wrong with saying that.
Tianchi wiped his tears embarrassedly, "Senior Gui, the children are here, please give me some face. Why did you wake up early?"
The old turtle was also helpless. The mermaids were in turmoil these days, but how come the tribe leader Tianchi didn't know anything about it?
Tianchi had been busy with salt production these days and had told his guards not to disturb him unless it was important. He cast a questioning look at the guards around him.
"Chief, it's the tribesmen who are catching fish."
The mermaids had used up all the mermaid pearls in their homes, and the supermarket manager said they could exchange fish for supermarket goods.
Tianchi was also shocked after hearing the explanation. The mermaid pearls were used up so quickly. How many things did they buy to take home?
The old turtle was completely confused. What supermarket? What mermaid pearls were used up? If the mermaid pearls were used up, could he still go to the sea market today?
Tianchi then told the old turtle about what had happened in the past few days.
Lao Gui was very interested in the supermarket. When he heard that Ye Qingyi actually worked in the supermarket, he was very curious and insisted on going to take a look.
