Ruan Cha wasn't disappointed; having lobsters would be great, but they were indeed not easy to catch.
"Qiaoqiao, if you don't have it, then come up."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Yan Qiao gave a playful smile, exclaimed "Wow!", and stretched both hands out of the water.
A lobster thicker than her arm came into view!
"Wow! What a huge lobster!" Ruan Cha exclaimed in delight, jumping up in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Qiao threw the lobster ashore with a strong toss.
The lobster struggled on the dry shore, but was excitedly pinned down by Shiloh.
"Wow! That's some real strength!"
He had to use both hands to barely manage to hold the lobster steady and fully display it in front of the camera.
Unable to contain her excitement, Ruan Cha exclaimed, "What a huge lobster! Qiaoqiao is amazing! Anyone who said she was bragging, come out and get a beating!"
Yan Qiao shouted from underwater, "Throw the bamboo basket down to me, I'm going to pick up a few abalone first."
Upon hearing this, Zang Mingqi threw the bamboo basket down to her.
Yan Qiao tied the bamboo basket to her waist and sank into the sea again.
Catching lobsters was too much work, so she decided to pick up the abalone first.
The abalone here are all very large, and most of them are black-lipped abalone.
She had checked with the production team beforehand and learned that abalone could be picked up, but it had to meet certain regulations; only abalone larger than a certain size could be picked up.
So she borrowed a measuring tape from the production team beforehand so she could easily measure the dimensions.
Because of its large size, it was quickly filled into a bamboo basket.
She surfaced again and tossed in several enormous abalone.
Ruan and his companions laughed again.
"This abalone looks bigger than my hand!" Ruan Cha excitedly picked it up and gestured.
Wow, what a huge abalone! Do abalone this big really exist?
[Black-lipped abalone, in Country A there are regulations that only abalone larger than a certain size can be picked.]
I just checked the price of this type of abalone; I won't say who's envious.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Qiao was seen tossing the bamboo basket up and then sitting on the rocks to rest.
"There are still many down there. I'll go down and pick some more later, and then catch some more lobsters."
Ruan Cha's live stream is getting more and more popular, with the number of viewers increasing visibly.
A large portion of them are Yan Qiao's fans, clamoring for Yan Qiao to start a live stream.
Ruan Cha then said, "Qiaoqiao, why don't you start a live stream?"
Yan Qiao wrung out the water from her long hair and wrapped it up again.
"I only have a few followers, what's the point of opening one?"
Zang Mingqi chuckled and opened her Weibo account.
"How long has it been since you checked Weibo? No wonder your fans went to Chacha's live stream to shout at you."
Yan Qiao craned her neck and took a closer look.
Drink! Four million!
"When did I get so many fans?"
Her latest Weibo post is still a repost from August 1st, Army Day.
She hasn't posted on Weibo since the show "Home on a Desert Island".
Ruan Cha glared at her, "Who told you not to check Weibo?"
Yan Qiao touched her nose. "Are you sure these aren't haters?"
I hope they won't all rush up there and start yelling at me.
"You've been traumatized by all the insults, haven't you? How can you have this many haters?" Xi Luo laughed.
Ruan Cha: "They want to see what's underneath the sea. Can you take my phone down with you?"
Yan Qiao hesitated for a moment, "Is it waterproof?"
"It's waterproof, but I have a clear plastic bag, you can put it in there."
Ruan Cha wrapped up the phone and handed it to Yan Qiao.
Yan Qiao adjusted the angle of her phone. "Just so you know, there might not be a signal down here, and it might lag. Be prepared."
After saying that, Yan Qiao dived back into the sea.
The sea here is very clean, and with the sunshine just right, Yan Qiao can see even in places that aren't too deep.
Below, schools of small fish swam to and fro, alongside reefs, corals, and all sorts of creatures whose names I couldn't recall.
Holding her phone in one hand, she didn't forget to pick up the abalone, clumsily and laboriously prying open the appropriately sized abalone.
Although the time was short, viewers in the live stream watched intently, afraid of missing anything.
It wasn't until Yan Qiao filled the bamboo basket that she floated to the surface of the water with it.
"Cha Cha, catch." She tossed the phone up into the air.
Then he picked up another bamboo cage that could only be put in and not taken out, and went back into the water.
After going back and forth several times and collecting several baskets of abalone and lobster, she went ashore.
This time, I was completely exhausted.
"Let's go back."
Xi Luo was taken aback. "You've finished picking them up?"
Yan Qiao rolled her eyes at him, "You want to pick up all the abalone at the bottom?"
Xi Luo chuckled twice. "I'd like to."
"Let's go back. Qiaoqiao must be tired." Ruan Cha said with a pained expression.
Zang Mingqi nodded. "Let's go."
This time, they finally achieved their goal of having lobster and abalone at their leisure, returning home with a full load.
Ruan Cha originally wanted to turn off the live stream, but netizens kept saying they hadn't seen enough, so she had to keep it running.
"Just so you know, I won't turn it on if my phone runs out of battery."
Yan Yaoyao eagerly awaited the results from Yan Qiao and the others.
Of course, she didn't want to see how many abalone and lobsters Yan Qiao had caught.
She only wanted to see them leave empty-handed, but unfortunately, she was disappointed in the end.
So many black-lipped abalone, how much are they worth? Yan Yaoyao was extremely envious.
The show is off today, and the production team will provide food, but it will only be instant noodles.
After eating, she felt no satisfaction at all because there was no oil or fat.
She bit her lip hard. Didn't Jin Wenxian say that Yan Qiao definitely wouldn't be able to find the abalone?
"Yan Qiao, how are we going to prepare all these abalone?"
Yan Qiao thought for a moment, "Didn't we leave some dried mushrooms before? How about we make an abalone and mushroom soup?"
It must be very delicious.
Take two more to make braised abalone, and boil the lobster; that should be enough for everyone to eat their fill.
"Let's dry the rest and store them, otherwise it'll get too boring to eat abalone and lobster every day."
Zang Mingqi: "...Maybe you'd better not say anything, I'm afraid you'll get beaten up if you go out."
Even eating abalone and lobster can get greasy.
Ruan Cha swallowed hard. "Could we cook some instant noodles as a main dish? I want to try some simple and unpretentious lobster instant noodles."
Yan Qiao gently lifted her chin, acting like she was flirting with a respectable young master.
"I'll satisfy you; you can eat as much as you want."
Xi Luo quickly raised her hand, "Then I want one too!"
Yan Qiao turned around, her eyes widening, "Go and gather firewood first."
Shiloh: "...This is discrimination."
Are you going or not?
"go!"
It's just gathering firewood; a real man should be able to bend and stretch.
Xi Luo went to gather firewood, Zang Mingqi prepared lobsters and abalone, and Yan Qiao went in to pick mushrooms.
She remembered all the mushroom burrows she had previously picked, so she could find them easily and even picked several matsutake mushrooms. She was quite lucky.
When she returned, Ruan Cha had already lit the fire and handed her a cup of hot water.
“I put ginger in it. You just went into the water, and this will help dispel the cold.”
Yan Qiao put down the mushrooms she had picked and smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, Cha Cha."
Ruan Cha smiled and said, "I'll take the mushrooms to wash first."
So Yan Qiao was left alone to drink ginger tea.
Then, Yan Yaoyao stepped forward and pitifully pleaded with her, "Yan Qiao, can I eat with you guys tonight?"
