With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

But you definitely can't go diving in the sea without permission. Let's wait until Lin Hai comes back at noon.

Everyone returned to the camp one after another, and Sister Chunyan came over with a package steadily in her hands.

The cloth was wrapped very tightly, layer upon layer, as if it contained some priceless treasure.

Lin Hai and several comrades were sitting at the table, and Sister Chunyan placed the package on the table.

At this time, Sister Chunyan's big eyes curved into crescents, and she looked at the comrades beside her and asked.

"Guess what's in here?"

When the comrades heard this, they immediately gathered around and looked at the package again and again.

"What's this big bag of good stuff?"

Lin Hai also perked up, sat up straighter, and stared at the package without blinking.

Sister Chunyan untied the cloth that was wrapped around her. As the cloth faded away, the gold bars inside sparkled with dazzling golden light, making people's eyes dizzy.

Although some of it was used, there were still more than nine pounds left. In the sunlight, the light seemed to carry warmth.

Many comrades stared with their eyes wide open, their mouths wide open, and exclaimed one after another.

"Oh my God, where did all this gold come from?"

"I have never dreamed of such a large amount of gold in my life! What is going on?"

Sister Chunyan adjusted her hair and said with a smile.

"I came back too late last night, and I was busy working early this morning. I didn't even have time to show everyone the gold I earned from selling incense! We were lucky this time. We met a very wealthy couple and actually exchanged ten kilograms of gold bars!"

When everyone heard this, they were extremely shocked, as if they were under a spell.

"What? That thing can be worth so much money?"

"Oh my goodness, ten kilograms of gold bars, that's too much!"

"This is great news. After we have our base, we don't have to worry about money and lose sleep!"

The smile on Lin Hai's face was as bright as a spring breeze. He looked at Sister Zhou Yuechunyan and Zhou Xing with his eyes full of recognition and appreciation.

"You have worked hard on the journey. Take a good rest these few days and don't exhaust yourself!"

Zhou Yue saw that Lin Hai was in such a good mood, her eyes rolled around, and she quickly spoke.

"Brother Hai, if we are not tired, then there is no need to rest. I just want to eat the thorny pot. Do you think it's okay, Brother Hai?"

Lin Hai raised his thick eyebrows, his face full of surprise and confusion.

"A thorny pot? Can you eat that?"

The expressions of the comrades around were also shocked, as if they had heard some Arabian Nights fairy tale.

Zhou Yue and Zhou Xing nodded hurriedly, their eyes flashing with fiery desire.

"Brother Hai, the thorny pot is delicious! We ate it in the village where we bought the chicken and duck. It tasted so delicious that I could swallow my tongue!"

After Zhou Xing heard his sister's reply, he also echoed her.

"That's right! It's even more delicious than the horse teeth I ate last time!"

Although they spoke loudly, their eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and they were afraid that Lin Hai would not agree.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hai raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a hearty smile, and simply nodded in agreement.

"Okay, since it's delicious, let's go get it back!"

He paused and continued.

"But the thorny pot grows on the bottom of the sea, so the two of you should not go into the water. Call a few comrades to go with you later!"

When Zhou Yue heard this, her eyes curved into two crescent moons.

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Hai!"

When Qiangzi heard that they could go into the water, he, who was already an excellent swimmer and loved playing in the water, seemed to have two little flames lit in his eyes.

"I know a place with lots of thorny pots! And the water isn't very deep!"

Zhou Xing's eyes sparkled. He turned to look at Qiangzi beside him and said with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Qiangzi, let's go together later!"

The afternoon sun was hot and strong. Zhou Yue and a group of seven or eight people went out with great enthusiasm, carrying baskets and tools.

Everyone followed Qiangzi all the way and walked for nearly half an hour before arriving at a sparsely populated sea area.

Zhou Yue stood on the beach, looking at the boundless sea, took a deep breath, her heart filled with joy and excitement.

The water is clear and transparent, like a huge carefully polished glass mirror.

Brother Qiangzi's face was flushed with excitement, and he pointed at the sea and said.

"There are so many thorny pots under the sea. I discovered this treasure land by accident!"

As soon as they arrived at the beach, everyone got busy and started changing their outfits.

The men took off their shirts and wore coarse cloth trousers that were about knee-length.

Zhou Yue's attention was suddenly attracted by the diving goggles in their hands. She was slightly startled and her heart was full of curiosity.

Are there goggles in this day and age?

She involuntarily walked closer and looked at it carefully.

The goggles were crudely made, obviously not produced on a factory assembly line.

Zhou Yue became even more confused because this material looked neither like plastic nor glass.

"Brother Qiangzi, did you make these goggles yourself?"

Qiangzi smiled and nodded, then took off the goggles from his head and handed them to Zhou Yue, asking her to take a closer look.

"Many people in our village can make this. With this thing, at least it can make the eyes feel more comfortable. Otherwise, the eyes can't stand the seawater pouring in!"

Zhou Yue raised the goggles to her eyes, squinted slightly, and tried hard to look out through the lenses.

However, I found that the scene in front of me was still blurry. I could only barely make out a rough outline, and the clarity was really not high.

She thought to herself that after this thing went into the water, its visibility would probably be even lower.

Zhou Yue looked over and over, trying to figure out what material the goggles were made of, but after looking at them for a long time she was still confused.

"Brother Qiangzi, what is this lens made of?"

Qiangzi scratched his head and explained with a smile.

"This is made of ox horn slices. First, soak the ox horns in warm water to soften them, and then slowly grind them into thin slices."

Zhou Yue was surprised when she heard it, because it turned out to be made of ox horns.

In this era, it is difficult for coastal villagers to access new materials such as plastic and glass.

In desperation, they could only use local materials and choose cow horns with relatively high transparency.

After patiently softening and carefully polishing, such simple goggles were made. Although this thing is far from being as clear as glass lenses, it can at least allow people to see a little more clearly underwater under such difficult conditions.

Zhou Yue couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw everyone wearing these slightly crude goggles.

After putting it on, the visibility on the seabed is so low, and today's mission is to catch sea urchins, whose spines are full of toxins.

Although this poison is not fatal, once you are stung by it, the pain is excruciating and will torture you for a long time.

Zhou Yue secretly made up her mind that when she had the chance in the future, she would find a way to equip them with more advanced goggles, but it was obviously too late now.

Zhou Yue's face was full of worry as she spoke to the comrades who were about to go into the sea.

"Everyone, be careful when you go into the sea. Don't get pricked by this thorny pot!"

"Don't worry, it's okay!"

After the comrades finished speaking, they all dived into the sea with tools in hand.
