I took a quick look and saw that the bucket was more than half full of shrimp, with a lot of seawater still inside. Most of the shrimp were alive, and they had a faint fishy smell with the taste of the sea, which I didn't find offensive.
"They were all just brought back, alive, all alive,"
Clearly, the other person was even more anxious than her, rubbing their hands together. They didn't treat her any differently just because she was a new face. There was also a small head peeking out from behind her legs, looking at Jian Dan timidly.
Qin Qinghuai glanced briefly at the man beside him and said in a low voice,
“Buy it if you want. I checked, and there’s a secluded place on our way here where they can deliver the goods.”
Then, it goes without saying.
"Okay, let's take a look. We're leaving soon anyway, so we don't need to worry about anyone getting suspicious."
Jian Dan has always been very persistent when it comes to stockpiling goods; it's a habit he picked up from a mission in his past life.
I looked at each stall, and because they were close to the sea, almost everything was freshly caught. My eyes lit up just looking at them: prawns, green shrimp, mantis shrimp, large yellow croaker, blackfish, yellow croaker, golden pomfret, hairy crab, oysters, scallops, grouper, lobster, oysters, sea cucumber, and even abalone. I've never eaten anything this fresh since I came here, and my mouth was watering just looking at them.
"I want them all, I want them all."
When Cheng Chao reappeared, the small market was filled with laughter. The simple couple had already bought all the seafood in the market, and the vendors had packed up their buckets and baskets and were happily heading back home.
They walked and talked about it, and Jian Dan was given countless friend cards.
"That couple are really good people,"
"Yes, yes, otherwise this thing will be unwanted tomorrow, and we'll have worked for nothing today."
"Father, if we sell the food, can we buy grain? Can we eat porridge?"
The old man's eyes were red.
"Hey, Dad will take you to buy it. We'll cook it when we get back tonight, and we'll have porridge when we get home."
"Second Uncle, I need to hurry up and buy some food for the child. He's been crying from hunger every night for the past few days."
"That's right. We live right here by the sea, and all we can eat is this kind of stuff. We adults are fine, but the kids suffer."
......
After packing everything up, the couple left, and Jian Dan's mood visibly improved; her steps were light and she skipped along.
Qin Qinghuai couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
"You're this happy just from buying seafood?"
He glanced back at Qin Yi, who was still in a daze, and leaned closer to whisper,
"Of course! These are all alive, and they reproduce quickly, so we'll have an endless supply of seafood."
Lost in her dreams, Jian Dan couldn't help but laugh out loud. She put all the live seafood directly into the river in her space. She watched as they disappeared into the water, so she figured they would live very well and eating seafood would no longer be a problem.
Qin Qinghuai secretly raised an eyebrow. Were they really being so blatant about it?
However, he also received new information: his wife's supernatural abilities included the ability to raise livestock.
Qin Yi, who was behind, didn't hear anything.
When he came back, he saw a group of people carrying large and small buckets to that alley. Then his sister-in-law went inside. When he passed by happily, he glanced at them to see how much they had bought. What did he see?
There was nothing in that alley.
He didn't believe it and even went to look around inside and out twice. The alley was small, a dead end, and there were no houses, so there was nowhere to hide anything.
Then, where are the things? Where are all those buckets and baskets?
When he saw Jian Dan again, his eyes began to daze. Was his sister-in-law really a fairy?
Qin Qinghuai glanced back, pursed his lips, and thought, "He's really not calm. He can't even accept this."
Once back on the train, Jian Dan immediately lay down. She had come out to collect seafood, and she had successfully completed her mission at the first stop, which was beyond her expectations.
After such a long car ride, the initial excitement of traveling had worn off, and she was less and less looking forward to the rest of the journey.
"By the way, where's your next stop? The machine factory?"
"No, it's not,"
Qin Qinghuai shook his head.
"The engineer from the machinery factory we encountered before is from the provincial capital. If it weren't for your good skills, you would have suffered the same fate. They contacted the Public Security Bureau and said they could provide support if needed."
So, my brother and I discussed it and decided that since we had this opportunity, and it was a local area, both the machines and the people involved would be more familiar with the local situation.
Besides, they need this opportunity to express their gratitude right now, so why should we go to such lengths instead of looking for something closer to us?
Moreover, Brother Chao contacted them that afternoon, and the situation had changed somewhat. The people we had contacted were also being watched, so, to be honest, we didn't have any other options.
"Oh, is that so?"
Cheng Chao sighed.
"That's right, girl. I have to say, that kick of yours really paid off. They just lost hope over there, and they immediately made up for it over here."
"Really? So, my kick actually counted as a merit?"
"That's right, you really did make a great contribution, and a significant one at that!"
This matter is considered resolved, but the person we're looking for isn't doing well either. They say he's quite ill, and we don't know if he'll hold on until we can bring him back.
"An agricultural expert?"
"Yes, the old man is an agricultural expert, and the old woman studied architecture abroad in her early years. Later, she participated in the revolution and was injured. She then adopted the orphan of a comrade-in-arms."
As a result, the daughter reported them with foreign language materials from the house. The old man was so angry that he vomited blood, and the old lady had her leg broken. It is said that the two of them were taken away in despair and did not get out of bed for several days.
