Because Mr. Zhang will not come to Qiongzhou Island until after the Chinese New Year, the two little ones do not have to go to school for the time being.

Ever since that day's experience of catching seafood, An An and Ning Ning would ask Su Weixi to take them to the beach to catch seafood from time to time.

Su Weixi played with them every day, and during this period the three of them became familiar with the group of children that day.

These children are not very old, only six or seven years old.

At this age, I have to help with some simple housework at home, and then go to the beach to pick up some small fish and shrimps to feed the chickens and ducks.

Originally, their parents knew that their children often interacted with Su Weixi and others, and they were afraid that their children would offend important people, so they wanted to keep them away from Su Weixi and others.

But when I see my children bringing home a few candies or one or two cakes from time to time, with satisfaction in their eyes, I can't bear to say it out loud.

Afterwards, seeing that Su Weixi and the others did not do anything, and the children also praised Su Weixi for being beautiful and gentle, they did not stop the children from interacting with Su Weixi and the others.

I just told them not to offend the important people and not to forget their housework.

There are not many children of this age in the village, only about ten or so. They come and go, and almost all of them are familiar with Su Weixi and the others.

On this day, Su Weixi accompanied the two little ones to the beach as usual and saw several children from the village prying oysters.

"Goudan, are you guys going to pry the oysters back to make oyster sauce?" Su Weixi asked curiously.

"Oyster sauce? Sister Xixi, what is oyster sauce?" Goudan stopped what he was doing and looked at Su Weixi in confusion.

"You don't know about oyster sauce, so why are you prying the oysters back home?" Su Weixi had a guess that there might not be good oil in this dynasty.

"Sister, we are taking it back to sort out the offal and take out the oyster meat to feed the chickens and ducks." Haihua on the side replied.

After hearing this, Su Weixi was certain that there was no oyster sauce in this era.

"Sister, what is the oyster sauce you mentioned just now? Can this oyster also produce oil like pork?" Goudan did not forget Su Weixi's previous question and was full of curiosity about oyster sauce.

"Although it's called oyster sauce, it's different from lard. They also have one thing in common: they can be used in cooking." Su Weixi gave a brief explanation.

"Sister, can that be sold for money?" Goudan asked excitedly.

"it should be OK."

Su Weixi didn't dare to give a positive answer, because even if he made good oil, he needed connections to sell it.

"Sister, can you teach us?" Goudan looked at Su Weixi with some embarrassment but great anticipation.

"Goudan, what are you talking about?" Haihua walked up and grabbed Goudan's ears.

Haihua is Goudan’s cousin. She is two years older than Goudan and more sensible.

She knew it was very rude for her cousin to ask directly like that.

"Hurry up and pry open the oysters. When you get home and grandma sees that we don't have enough oysters, be careful with your skin." Haihua knew that only by bringing up her grandmother's name could she suppress this cousin.

"Sister, please let go. I'll just ask and do the work right away." Goudan admitted his mistake immediately.

"Sister Xixi, I'm sorry, my brother is young and doesn't understand things, he..." Haihua apologized to Su Weixi.

But as she spoke, she didn't know how to explain it. After all, she was just a child herself.

"It's nothing. I know he thinks that if he can sell it for money, he can reduce the burden on his family." Su Weixi waved his hand, indicating that it was not a big deal.

Afterwards, Su Weixi let them continue working, and she accompanied An An and Ning Ning to go fishing.

It's called sea hunting, but actually it's just playing, especially Ningning, who mainly picks up shells.

After Su Weixi made her a shell wind chime using the shells she picked up last time, she would pick up a lot of beautiful shells every time she came, wanting to make a super big shell wind chime.

An An dotes on her younger sister and will pick up beautiful shells whenever she sees them.

When An An and Ning Ning had almost finished playing, Su Weixi saw the children from the village struggling to pry oysters not far away, and an idea came to his mind.

"Haihua, come here." Su Weixi waved at Haihua.

When Haihua heard Su Weixi calling her, she thought something had happened and ran over immediately.

"Can you sell the oysters you pried today to my sister?"

"Ah? Sister, are you buying this to feed the chickens and ducks?"

"No, I'll buy it back for use. Can you sell it to me?"

"Sister, these are not worth much. If you want, we will give you some more."

Haihua felt that oysters were not worth the money, and the food that Su Weixi usually gave them was not cheap.

I thought I couldn’t take the money, so I gave it to Su Weixi.

"If you don't want to pay me, I'll feel embarrassed to ask for it. So, I'll go home with you and ask your parents how they are doing."

"That's fine."

Then Haihua returned to the rock and continued to pry the oysters.

When their buckets were full, Su Weixi and her two siblings went home with Haihua and her two siblings.

"Grandma, grandma, are there guests?"

"What kind of guest is this? Why is he shouting?" An old woman came out from behind the stone house.

Because there are typhoons from time to time at the seaside, most people build stone houses.

Grandma Haihua shouted loudly, and suddenly she saw that in addition to her grandson who was collecting debts, there were three other people in the yard. It was obvious from their clothes that they were not ordinary people.

"Grandma, this is Miss Su and her brother and sister." Haihua put down what she was holding and said to her grandmother.

"Hello grandma, sorry to bother you." Su Weixi greeted politely, and An An and Ning Ning also greeted politely.

"Hello, Miss Su. Please sit down. Please sit down." Grandma Haihua was a little overwhelmed for a moment. "Goudan, why don't you bring some stools to the young ladies and gentlemen?"

Grandma Haihua ordered her grandson around, while she went into the house to pour water for a few people.

"We don't have any good things at home. This is coconut water. Miss and gentleman, see if you can drink it." Grandma Haihua and Haihua brought three bowls of coconut water to Su Weixi and her two siblings.

"Thank you, grandma. You're welcome. Just call me Xixi. Call them An'an and Ningning."

"No, no, Miss Su, please try this coconut water. I just opened the coconut." Grandma Haihua said with a smile on her face.

After expressing their gratitude, the three of them took the coconut water and drank it. The coconut water was very sweet.

"Grandma, we came here to ask if Haihua and the others can sell me these oysters they pried?" Su Weixi stated the purpose of his trip.

"Ah? Miss Su, if you want to take that worthless thing, just take it away. Why bother asking for money?" Grandma Haihua was surprised that Su Weixi actually wanted to buy this thing that could be found everywhere on the beach.

"Sister, see, I told you, my grandma and the others are willing to give it to you too." Haihua said from the side.

"No, that won't do. You guys worked so hard to get this. I can't just take it for nothing."

"Miss Su, you are too polite. I heard from my granddaughter and grandson that you have been giving them a lot of delicious food recently. These oysters are really worthless, and there are not many of them. If you want them, take them. If they are not enough, I will ask them to pry some more for you tomorrow."

Grandma Haihua didn’t know why Su Weixiyao bought the oysters, but she generously said she was giving them to her.

"Grandma, I'm buying these oysters to make oyster sauce. These oysters are not worthless." Su Weixi explained the purpose of buying the oysters.

"Ah? Oyster sauce? These oysters can be used to make oil?" Grandma Haihua was a little confused for a moment.

She has lived by the sea for most of her life, but she has never heard that oysters can be used to make oil.
