Lin Qingmei stood nearby and observed the location carefully. She used her mental power to sense the surrounding sea area and found that there was indeed a small crab group here. However, the crabs here were all of insignificant species. There were no swimming crabs or king crabs. Instead, there were quite a few tiger shrimps and mantis shrimps.
"Third Grandpa, I think there seem to be shrimps here, why don't we put some shrimp cages down there too."
"But don't we just want to catch crabs? Do we have to take the shrimps back as well?"
"No problem. If the farm doesn't want them, we can sell them to the purchasing station or take them back to eat. We don't need to put any bait, just put a few in there randomly. It depends on luck whether there are shrimps or not." How could she just let it go? After putting the shrimp cages in there, she used her mental power to drive the shrimps in. With her around, the shrimp cages and crab cages would definitely burst tonight.
"Okay!"
Not long after the shrimp cage was put down, the sky suddenly darkened and large dark clouds gathered quickly.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain. We have to sail the boat to the sheltered area. Qingmei, go help your second grandmother cook, and I'll go to the front to help your third grandfather sail the boat."
As soon as the boat stopped at the sheltered harbor, big raindrops began to fall. Lin Qingmei looked out the window at the sea, worried that the crab cage would be washed away. Second Aunt Lin comforted her: "Don't worry, girl, this little storm won't be that serious."
"Second Grandma, did you often go out to sea with Second Grandpa?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Women were not allowed on our fishing boats before. I only got your help to go out to sea."
"Ah, why is that?" Lin Qingmei really didn't know this. Her grandmother had also taken a long-distance ship back to Shanghai before? Why couldn't the fishing boats in the village do that?
"The older generation believed that women on fishing boats were inauspicious and would bring bad luck to the boats. Fishing on the sea is dangerous, so people are superstitious. But now that you are the person in charge of the farm, no one in the village dares to offend you, and the old scholars in the village have kept their mouths shut."
"There are still such people. Now we are destroying the four olds and superstitions. Whoever dares to come to me and say this, I will scold him to death." In her previous life, Lin Qingmei didn't like these remarks that regarded women as ominous. She didn't expect to experience it personally in this life.
Fortunately, Mr. Lin Er and Mr. Lin San are relatively open-minded, otherwise her last trip to Hong Kong City would not have been so smooth.
Mr. Lin Er and Mr. Lin San are not open-minded, they are just used to it.
Previously, they were driving long-distance ships, and they also secretly sent many wealthy businessmen to the port city.
Isn't it just women on board? There are many wives of wealthy businessmen, and you will get used to it after seeing them so many times.
"The rain seems to have stopped, let's hurry up and light a fire to cook." Coal briquettes are used for cooking on fishing boats. The cabin is not well ventilated, and it is easy to get poisoned if you light a fire inside. If you want to cook, you can only do it on the deck outside.
For lunch, we had noodles, hand-rolled noodles made by Second Grandma Lin. Grandma Lin's ancestors were from the north, and she often rolled noodles for herself at home.
Lin Qingmei also likes to eat hand-rolled noodles, but unfortunately neither she nor Lin Qinglan knows how to roll noodles.
"Second Grandma, the noodles you make are so delicious. Can I learn how to roll noodles from you?"
"Sure! When you want to eat noodles, prepare the flour and I'll go to your house to teach you." As a cook, she likes to see others enjoy the food she cooks. Grandma Lin can't wait to knead the dough and roll the noodles again.
At home, her son, daughter-in-law and grandson didn't like eating pasta, so it was rare to meet someone who appreciated her cooking skills.
