Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

"That's fine. When this hair crown becomes famous here, I will naturally share the profits with you. The Albizia Julibrissin hair crown is unique to you. I don't like others to compete with you, nor do I like others to wear the same hair crown as you, so the Albizia Julibrissin hair crown will not appear in the Yu Family Silver Shop."

Yu Xiuming had a special feeling that this hair crown would definitely become famous in Jizhou City. It would even be a treasure that would attract people to consume in other silver shops in their area. Maybe even families getting married in the future would buy one for their daughters.

Since Wang Shiyu had asked, he would not refuse. He needed to save more money to give to Wang Shiyu as a betrothal gift, so he would not refuse the opportunity to make money. Wang Shiyu nodded calmly. Who would refuse to make money? She would only wear it once and would not use it in the future. Simple and plain beauty was popular now. Except for those who were proud of their status, no one would dress themselves up like a Christmas tree, just like Wang Shiyu, who wore a few pearl flowers made of jade on her head after she came of age.

The two chatted outside for a while, and Aunt Niu started to ask them to go into the house to eat. It was still a bit cold on the sea at night, so Wang Shiyu put on a cloak after dinner and came to the deck to look at the situation outside. The sea at night looked quite scary, and the endless darkness made people feel terrified.

I don't know when, but the wind started to blow slowly from the sea. The gusts of wind were quite chilly on my body, but luckily I was wearing enough clothes, so I was able to withstand the cold wind. The dark sea water also slowly began to fluctuate in the direction of the wind.

No matter where you look at the sea at night, it is pitch black underneath, which looks a bit like something out of a horror movie. At the same time, you can hear bursts of screams in the distance, a bit like whales coming up to the surface to breathe. Occasionally, you can even see something like plastic floating on the sea, which looks like a jellyfish, but Wang Shiyu has never come into contact with these things, so she doesn't know what kind of jellyfish it is. Occasionally, you can also see a few fish swimming on the sea.

Wang Shiyu had not been standing on the deck for long when she heard the fishermen who had boarded the boat earlier talking and making a lot of noise. It seemed that they were preparing to cast their nets tonight. It seemed that they heard the sound of a large number of fish passing under the boat, so they hurried out to start making preparations.

First they have to prepare the nets, and then cast them directly into the sea. They also have to wait for the orders of the experienced fishermen, and the direction of casting the nets must also be determined.

The fishermen's noises disturbed others who wanted to take a nap. Yu Xiuming, also wearing a cloak with the color of crabapple, slowly walked out. Wang Shiyu turned around and saw this person who was like a beautiful scenery. He had a very beautiful face. To be honest, he looked a bit like the male protagonist of a novel walking out of the lights, but without that overbearing and greasy feeling.

Those who were preparing to cast their nets, when they saw Yu Xiuming, started to speak, calling their host, and then went about their own business. Perhaps Yu Xiuming was already accustomed to such things, so when these people spoke, he just nodded slightly, and then continued to walk towards Wang Shiyu.

"Is it because the noise here is too loud and disturbing you?

These people may not have a fixed time to find fish, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, or even in the middle of the night. If you think it's noisy, you might as well move your room further in, so that the noise from the deck can't reach you. I guess it won't be too quiet tonight, because they will be busy all night when they fish."

Yu Xiuming looked at Wang Shiyu, who was wearing a cloak and standing on the deck. He thought that she was awakened by the noise from these people, so she got up and stood outside to watch the fun. Usually, Wang Shiyu had a fixed rest time at night and seldom wandered out at night.

After approaching, he gently held Wang Shiyu's slightly cold hand. Fortunately, although it was a little cold, it was not too cold. It seemed that she had just come out not long ago. The sea breeze at night was indeed a bit biting. Generally, Yu Xiuming himself did not like to come to the deck to blow the wind at night. Even in hot weather, he did not like his body to be hot and cold, which made him easy to get sick.

Wang Shiyu let him hold her hand and slowly shook her head at him. She just couldn't sleep and wanted to come out and take a look. After all, she slept too much during the day and her sleeping schedule was a bit messed up now.

"No, I wasn't woken up by them. I just couldn't sleep and wanted to get some fresh air and some peace and quiet. Then they came out and said they wanted to go fishing, so I just gave them a place to go. I didn't wake them up. I also wanted to see how they fished. Do they have fresh sea fish to eat every day?"

Hearing that no one was disturbing them, Yu Xiuming nodded without saying anything else. He took her hand and walked to the side, so as not to disturb those people. Then he spoke.

"Well, we will indeed use fresh ocean fish to cook tomorrow. However, according to the habits of these people, they probably won't be willing to eat those larger fish, and will only eat those small fish. If you want to eat them, ask the kitchen staff to cook them for you tomorrow. Then we'll see what kind of fish we can catch and how to cook them. I guess we'll have to put down shrimp and crab cages later, but I don't know where they plan to put them."

When Wang Shiyu heard that they had to put down shrimp and crab cages, her eyes brightened up. Fortunately, this was not the sea area that had been ravaged by modern times. She could just find a place to put down shrimp and crab cages and catch some shrimps and crabs.

Soon, the fishermen's nets were ready. They stood on the bow, calculating the wind and the direction the fish would swim. The three of them worked together to throw the fishing nets into the sea, and the nets formed a circle and fell into the sea like flowers scattered by fairies. As for whether there were any fish in the sea, Wang Shiyu was not sure, but judging from the force and direction of the nets, they should have caught some fish.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so sure. After throwing the fishing net in this direction, the fishermen began to prepare shrimp cages. It seemed that the crab cages were going to be lowered simultaneously nearby. Although I don't know how these people judged the direction, it should be the so-called experience.

They dragged the fishing net forward for a while, perhaps an hour or two, and then they stopped the boat and dropped anchor, saying that they were going to put down shrimp cages and crab cages here. It seemed that they were going to stay here overnight and collect the cages and leave tomorrow afternoon. At this time, the net that had been put down earlier had already been pulled up, and it even looked quite heavy from the arms of these people, so several people went to pull the net at the same time.

Although there were hand-cranked tools to help, these people seemed to have gotten used to being self-reliant. Even though there were hand-cranked net-collecting equipment to help, everyone still stepped forward and pulled the fishing nets hard to collect the nets.

As the fishing net was continuously tightened, it slowly emerged from the water. The bulging appearance of the net showed that these people were not wrong. There was indeed a large amount of cargo in the net. Even modern explosive nets might not hold so many. The net was slowly pulled out of the sea, and then the handles were cranked to start collecting the net. No matter how strong they were, they could not compare to the harvest in the net.
