I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

next day

Before daybreak, Bai Qingyao got up from the bed. After looking at the tools she got yesterday, she put them back into the storage compartment.

After going out and walking to the edge of the beach, Bai Qingyao took out the things.

Today, she plans to pry open more oysters, so now she should go to the beach first.

Yesterday, she only had some simple tools and couldn't enjoy the sea fishing.

Although the tools extracted from the system are all simple tools for catching seafood, they are sufficient for catching seafood in shallow water areas now.

She rolled up her trouser legs. There were many reefs here, so to avoid scratching her feet, she walked in with her shoes on, holding a bucket in her left hand and a clamp in her right hand.

From time to time, he would lift the stones under his feet to see if there was anything underneath.

People in Dayuan Village don't get up early to go fishing, but fishermen do get up early to go fishing. However, the fish beach is on the other side, and this side is full of reefs, so fishing boats rarely dock.

Even if there are any stops, they are mostly temporary or some are old fishing boats.

The further Bai Qingyao walked in, the deeper the water became, and it was still a little dark, but fortunately, there was a special sea-hunting flashlight in the gift package, which was more than enough to use now.

The light from the flashlight is much brighter than the kerosene lamp here, and you can see clearly whether the sea water is clear or turbid.

Bai Qingyao lifted up a large rock, and with quick eyes and hands, she put the clamp in her hand down directly.

'Wow—'

When the clamp was taken out of the water, there was a light blue swimming crab in the middle.

Bai Qingyao's eyes lit up with joy. This crab was much bigger than any she had seen before.

Moreover, the family had just bought some oil. When she came back today, she would go buy some lard and boil some lard so that she could eat crispy and delicious fried crabs.

If this is used as a side dish, it will be more fragrant and tasty.

While thinking about this, Bai Qingyao did not forget to pick up things from the sea. Soon, she had picked up half a bucket.

Going further in, the water became a little shallower. Bai Qingyao looked up and saw that the reefs here surrounded this place, leaving only a small sandy beach inside after the tide receded.

She stepped out of the sea and walked straight over.

Under the light of the flashlight, she looked around, and suddenly, she walked towards the reef not far away and bent down.

Not long after, he picked up something from the ground. It was a super huge conch.

It looks like it weighs about one or two pounds. If the water is removed, there should be about one pound left, which is a good harvest.

After putting it in the bucket, she looked around and saw a lot of kelp. She didn't mind and picked them up.

Now she has no right to be picky. After being processed, kelp can also be a delicacy, especially it can be used to make soup, which tastes good.

'hiss--'

Halfway through the walk, Bai Qingyao was suddenly tripped by something and almost fell to the ground.

She looked down and saw another large conch.

Unexpectedly, there are so many conchs on this small piece of beach, and they are all quite large.

He picked them all up and placed them one by one in the barrel.

I glanced down and saw that I had harvested quite a lot today. Next, it was time to pry the oysters.

This is what their family eats now, so they can't be careless at all.

'boom--'

The small hammer hit the oysters all over, just right, without breaking the shells, but instead prying them off completely.

She was very skilled, and in a short while, she had pried off one oyster after another.

This small hammer is much easier to use than the somewhat bulky tool she used yesterday, and it can pry oysters more than twice as fast as before.

In this way, he pried and picked up the trash, and soon a small hill of trash was revealed in the bucket in his hand.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, stored the contents of the barrel in the storage compartment, and continued to pry.

It was not until dawn that she turned around and saw the oysters piled on the ground. She nodded with satisfaction.

He also had to go back and cook the oysters and then go to the market to buy them.

However, in this case, one cannot ride on Uncle Niu's ox cart. After all, there is too much cargo and there is no room for anyone to sit.

After she brought the things back home, after a while, the three little ones woke up.

Wisps of smoke rose from the Gu family's kitchen, attracting the fishermen who were rushing out to fish early.

The Gu family turned on the stove early in the morning. What are they doing?

It’s strange to say, but in the past two days, when they passed by the gate of the Gu family, they always smelled a strong fragrance, and they didn’t know what the Gu family was doing?

"Auntie——"

When the three Gu Zexuan brothers walked out of the house, they saw Bai Qingyao putting freshly steamed oysters in a wooden barrel in the yard.

The taste of cold oysters is very different from that of cooked oysters.

Therefore, if you want to sell cooked oysters, the most important thing is to retain the initial heat of the freshly steamed oysters, but not let them deteriorate.

She wasn't worried before because the number was small, but now that the number is large, she needs to consider this issue.

However, with storage compartments, there is no need to worry.

Time will stand still in the storage compartment. Things will remain in the same state when they are put in, and will not deteriorate.

However, in order to cover up, she still had to take these wooden barrels with her, otherwise, she would not be able to explain the origin of so many oysters.

"Axuan, Ajing, Ahuai, you are awake."

"Come quickly, wash your hands, and eat later. Mother has prepared something delicious for you."

She picked up the conch, removed the meat, cut it into conch slices, and then washed off the mucus on it with salt water. She simply blanched the conch slices in water, stir-fried them with scallion oil, and poured the sauce over the conch slices to make a delicious dish.

As for the wakame, she simply made a soup.

The kelp is originally picked up from the sea, so there is no need to soak it specially. Only when the fresh kelp is used to make soup will it be truly delicious.

"Auntie, what is this?"

After washing their hands, the three little ones all ran to the dining table and looked at the delicious food on the table with curiosity.

"This is fried conch slices with scallion oil, and that is wakame soup."

“It smells so good!”

Gu Zejing sniffed deeply, inhaling all the fragrance into his nostrils.

"If it smells good, you can eat more later!"

Bai Qingyao tapped his little nose and served them food.

In the morning, she cooked some porridge. When she opened the lid of the pot, the rich aroma of rice wafted out of the pot. Although it was corn, Bai Qingyao had processed it very delicately, and the fragrance was no less than that of white rice.

"Mmm, delicious—"

Gu Zejing first took a big bite of conch meat, leaving his mouth full of oil.

Conch meat is quite chewy, so Bai Qingyao processed it in her own way, making it soft and delicious, so there is no need to worry about the three little ones being unable to bite it.
