Chapter 307 Harvest
Gu Cheng said: "It's good to be a soldier."
He is a soldier himself, and he must want Gu Yanyan to be like him.
Liu Yinyin thought that Gu Yanyan was still young, and there was not much point in discussing such matters now.
"Let's talk about it later. When Yanyan grows up, he can do whatever he wants. As parents, we must respect our children's opinions and support them. We can't force them to do things they don't like."
In fact, Liu Yinyin was still thinking about letting Gu Yanyan go to college.
He is still young now, and when that time comes...he will be able to enter university.
However, she will still respect Gu Yanyan's own choice.
As long as he doesn't make mistakes, he can do anything.
Seeing Gu Cheng looking at her with a gloomy look in his eyes, Liu Yinyin felt a little guilty: "...What's wrong?"
Gu Cheng said: "You are different from others."
At that time, people were proud to be soldiers, and besides, you couldn't become a soldier just because you wanted to.
In an ordinary family, if one of them has a quota for military service, it would definitely be a cause of great resentment.
There is no parent who doesn't want his or her child to serve in the army.
"What's the difference?" Liu Yinyin pretended to be calm and said, "You are a soldier yourself, do you know how dangerous this job is? You just said that Mr. Zhou's son..."
After a pause, Liu Yinyin continued, "Anyway, I just think like a normal woman. Unless Yanyan particularly likes him, I don't want him to join the army."
Gu Cheng looked at her deeply, not knowing whether she had heard it or not.
Liu Yinyin coughed twice and changed the subject, "I see so many caves and swallows on the island. Do you think there are bird's nests in them?"
Gu Cheng: "Bird's nest?"
He had never heard of this thing.
Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "I heard from Rose that this thing is very nourishing and very expensive."
In fact, Liu Yinyin was not thinking about eating bird's nest. In her opinion, this thing is not as practical as eating two more kilograms of pork.
It’s just that...this kind of pure natural and pollution-free wild bird’s nest is indeed very expensive.
Just a little bit would be enough for them to struggle for several years.
Liu Yinyin really couldn't resist this temptation. If she could really find the bird's nest, she would make a fortune.
Gu Cheng didn't know what a bird's nest looked like, so he just said, "We'll see tomorrow."
The next day.
Gu Cheng had nothing to do today, so after breakfast, the two of them prepared to go out for a while without talking about the bird's nest.
I also have to get some fresh seafood to bring back.
I was thinking about going to the cave today to look for bird's nests, but I didn't want to bring Gu Yanyan with me.
So they left him in the bungalow to be taken care of by Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou.
When they reached the beach, they went to the cave first.
There are really a lot of swallows in the caves on the island, so the two of them didn't dare to act rashly.
I found a relatively low cave entrance and went in.
Gu Cheng led the way in front, observing the situation inside. If there was any danger, there was no need to go deeper.
Fortunately, apart from the occasional swallows flying by, there was nothing else in the cave.
The cave is formed by various rocks stacked on top of each other. It is a masterpiece of nature and looks huge and spectacular.
It's just a bit eerie, which makes people feel scared.
Not long after, Liu Yinyin actually saw a number of small boat-shaped bird nests on the rock wall...
Perhaps we haven't reached the deep part of the cave yet, the bird's nests here are sparse.
However, in the dim light, it can still be seen that the bird's nest is of good quality and is not an ordinary black bird's nest.
Restraining her excitement, Liu Yinyin pointed at the bird's nest on the rock wall and said, "This is it."
Gu Cheng asked in confusion: "...Isn't this a swallow's nest?"
Liu Yinyin nodded: "Yes, isn't it just looking for a bird's nest?"
Gu Cheng's mouth twitched, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this thing really edible?"
"Of course, otherwise why would it be so expensive." Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Bird's nest has very high nutritional value. Eating it can nourish and improve your complexion."
Gu Cheng couldn't understand what was so delicious about this thing: "How expensive can it be?"
Liu Yinyin pointed at a light yellow bird's nest on the rock wall and said thoughtfully, "This little bit should be worth your entire year's salary."
Gu Cheng: “…”
He was wearing casual clothes today and had a net bag tied around his waist.
Gu Cheng looked around and said to Liu Yinyin, "Wait downstairs while I go up to find the bird's nest."
Liu Yinyin nodded: "Just be careful, just make some at the bottom."
The cave is quite high, and some bird's nests are built directly on the top of the cave. Without some tools, it is really impossible to pick them.
This stuff is expensive for a reason.
Gu Cheng is very skilled, but he doesn't dare to climb up places that are too high.
The rocks on the rock wall are uneven, so climbing is quite dangerous.
Fortunately, no one has ever been to this place, and there are some swallow nests in the low area below.
Gu Cheng carefully scraped off the bird's nest with a knife and put it into a net bag.
I don't know how long it took, but the net bag was full.
Only then did Gu Cheng stop and climb down.
The temperature inside the cave was very low, but Liu Yinyin was sweating profusely.
I was relieved to see Gu Cheng come down safely.
My god, this money is really hard to make.
Gu Cheng took a breath, handed her the net bag, and asked, "Let's just pick this much for now. If there's a chance later, I'll bring a few more people to do it."
The cave was very complicated and it was difficult to move around. It was difficult for him to operate alone.
Liu Yinyin weighed the bag in her hand and said with satisfaction: "These are enough. We can just make some money."
Climbing a cave is too dangerous, so I should be satisfied with making a little money.
Gu Cheng thought: "If this thing is really worth the money, it will be a good thing for the army."
It just so happens that the new military zone is short of a lot of equipment and supplies.
If bird's nests can be sold for money, perhaps they can make use of it.
This island will also be a fortune.
Liu Yinyin: “…”
Coming out of the cave, Liu Yinyin glanced at the sky and saw that it was almost ten o'clock.
Gu Cheng put his hands on his hips and said, "The boat back this afternoon will leave at about three o'clock."
Time was running out, so Liu Yinyin said, "Let's go get some seafood and take it back. We won't come over this afternoon."
The entrance to the cave was the sea water. Liu Yinyin looked down and saw a large oyster hanging on the reef...
I won’t open oysters today. This thing is really too nutritious and you can’t eat it every day.
Liu Yinyin rolled up her trousers and began to turn over stones in the water.
Things are most easily hidden under rocks, such as crabs, snails, octopus, abalone...
The good thing is that no one has ever been there, and you can find seafood everywhere.
Moreover, they are in large areas, and there are quite a lot of them.
Liu Yinyin just turned over a big rock and found a nest of abalone underneath!
There were eight in total, and each abalone was particularly large.
If Gu Cheng hadn't been there, Liu Yinyin would have wanted to sell it directly to the system.
