Chapter 687 I'm not going



Qin Qinghuai naturally had no objections.

"You're right, this weather isn't suitable for beachcombing either."

"Honey, the chive and shrimp dish you made last time was delicious. Honey, shall we buy more shrimp?"

"Mmm,"

Jian Dan nodded repeatedly. Actually, she didn't like all kinds of seafood. Her favorites were shrimp and crab, and she liked almost all kinds of fish as well.

She prefers shellfish, especially common ones like clams, which are fresh and delicious. She didn't particularly like other small seafood like snails, razor clams, or pen clams in her past life.

Of course, I won't do things I don't like.

Therefore, there are some options when buying seafood.

"Xiao Yi, if you like it, go and take a look. Come once in a while. Anyway, we're just around here and don't have anything else to do."

"But,"

Qin Yi was somewhat tempted, but looking at Qin Qinghuai, he still felt uneasy.

"No, sister-in-law, I'll go with you. I can help you carry things and stuff."

Qin Qinghuai looked back.

"Go ahead, everything's fine here. I'll go for a walk with your sister-in-law."

Since Qin Qinghuai had spoken, Qin Yi had received a pardon.

"Okay, then I'll go to Brother Huai."

A simple pout.

"See, your word still carries weight."

The words were a complaint, but she was just saying it casually. After all, Qin Yi was Qin Qinghuai's bodyguard, so this was normal.

Qin Qinghuai knew this, so he didn't say anything.

"Hey, this prawn is really big."

The market is really small. People are squatting or sitting by the roadside, with buckets or large basins of seafood in front of them. Some are even using large baskets, but there is a high chance that the seafood is already dead.

When they saw people looking over, the villagers all forced smiles.

"Fresh seafood, very cheap, come and buy some to take home, you can stir-fry it or make soup."

"Little girl, these are crabs I just picked up while beachcombing. They're all alive. Look how big they are!"

"I still have some large yellow croakers here. I have several big ones today. Buy one, it'll be enough for several meals. It's very cheap, young lady, would you like to buy one?"

As his gaze swept over the weathered faces, Jian Dan sighed inwardly. There's an old saying that goes, "Those who live by the mountains live off the mountains, and those who live by the water live off the water," but the lives of these fishermen are still just as hard.

They're not even as good as those on the border.

Take this old man in front of me, for example. Not to mention the deep wrinkles on his face, his hands are also covered with thick, black lines. He spends many years at sea, gathering seafood, and probably repairing fishing boats and nets. The cuts on his hands are even finer than those of a farmer.

He was wearing a coarse cloth garment with layers of patches, and the edges of his shoes were frayed. They looked fine at first glance, but as he walked, you could tell that the soles of his shoes were worn through at the heels.

Perhaps because he was dealing with a customer in a difficult situation, his attitude was very humble, with his head bowed and a fawning smile.

"These are all shrimp I caught today. They're very cheap, really, only 30 cents a pound. They're all alive, look."
