Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

The crabs lay in all directions on the beach, trying to escape from the disaster scene with clumsy steps.

Conches and shells are scattered everywhere, colorful and in various shapes.

Looking around, I saw countless octopus tentacles crawling hard on the beach.

There are nests of giant blue crabs and trapped moray eels on the rocky beach.

We also saw several Spanish mackerels that were over one meter long, and picked up scallops and clams as if they were free.

This thing is not valuable and cannot be sold at a high price.

But for Xu Yiyi, it is a delicacy.

Xu Yiyi went to the reef nest specifically to feel around. There was water there, and some living creatures were happy to hide in it.

After the fish basket was filled, Xu Yiyi ran back to get a few more tools and called Er'er to join him.

The two sisters were like picking up stones on the beach, and they couldn't even straighten their backs.

Later on, they no longer looked down on the small fish and shrimps, and only picked out the valuable seafood to put into the fish basket.

The rain was getting lighter and lighter, and many villagers came out to see what was happening.

Seeing the two sisters busy on the beach, they ran back to the house, took their tools and joined the ranks of picking seafood.

When Li Xiuying followed Aunt Li out, Xu Yiyi and her sister had already filled five large bags.

Seeing what the two people had gained, Li Xiuying looked a little unhappy.

"Didn't I call her?"

Xu Yiyi was a little puzzled. She had also greeted Aunt Li when she passed by her house!

"Big sister probably didn't take what we said seriously. Besides, she doesn't like you and probably doesn't want to tell Uncle Li and Aunt Li that you were here."

Er'er curled her lips. Li Xiuying always compared herself with her elder sister in everything she did. She was unhappy after knowing that her elder sister had a good marriage.

It was only after the engagement was broken off some time ago that I felt a little happy.

After hearing what Er'er said, Xu Yiyi realized that she had originally thought that Li Xiuying had a stern face all day long because she had a cold personality like her.

I didn't expect it was because I hated her.

"Yiyi, you guys came so early? Your clothes are all wet. Did you run out in the rain? You're so brave..."

Aunt Li glanced at the two sisters, looking utterly embarrassed.

The clothes and hair are messy, as if something has happened.

With more people around, there are fewer things to pick up.

Xu Yiyi and Er'er picked up a total of seven cages, removed some shrimps, crabs and some shellfish, and sold the rest.

A total of six taels of silver were sold, and this was because grouper and mackerel accounted for the majority.

"Young lady, are you going to sell what you have in your hand?"

Harvesters mainly want the large blue crabs, which are delicious whether steamed, boiled, or fried.

It was the peak harvest season, and the ones Xu Yiyi picked up were all very big. He picked up one and weighed it, and it weighed about six kilograms.

If it weren't for this typhoon, we wouldn't be able to pick such good crabs.

"No, I'm taking it home to eat."

It couldn't be sold at a high price, and since Xu Yiyi liked it, it was natural for her to keep it.

On the way back, Er'er carried back three more cages, ready to clean them and dry them.

During the fishing ban period, you can't always eat fresh food, so fishermen will dry some fish, shrimp, abalone, etc. at home.

The little girl was very excited. She put down her things and pulled Sanchuan out together.

Sihai sat under the eaves, pushing the small bed from time to time to coax Wuyuan.

"What are you having for dinner tonight?"

The yard was full of seafood and smelled fishy. Er'er and Sanchuan were still outside. Sihai felt a headache when he thought about it.

"Steamed crabs, stir-fried shrimp, a pomfret for soup, and squid for dry pot. No rice tonight..."

Xu Yiyi was sorting the seafood in the yard while talking.

Sihai felt unhappy when he heard this.

“We eat seafood every day…”

"You just say it tastes good or not, right?"

Xu Yiyi could understand his Versailles. After all, what else could people living by the sea eat if not seafood?

Except for the seafood in the sea, which is free, everything else costs money.

But Xu Yiyi hasn’t had enough! She now dreams about eating seafood.

"It's delicious! But what is dry pot, sister? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Dry pot is a cooking method that tastes spicy and delicious..."

Xu Yiyi used to eat it often when she was in college.

"I've never eaten it! Is it a snack sold in the capital?"

Sihai's words woke Xu Yiyi up. She not only loved to eat but also knew how to cook. She could make delicious food according to the recipes and sell it.

The materials are all readily available, so just some manual labor is enough.

When she makes money, she will have enough money to buy a boat.

"Sister, what are you laughing at?"

Sihai bit his fingers and asked hesitantly.

He started laughing for no reason, and Sihai felt a little scared.

"I've thought of a way to make money, but I need to plan it out to see if it's feasible. If I really make money, we won't have to worry about food and clothing anymore."

Xu Yiyi pinched Sihai's little face and said, "If they want to set up a stall, going to the pier would be the best choice."

There is a large flow of people, with workers loading goods coming and going every day and ship merchants passing by the dock to replenish supplies. Some people must need to eat.

The selling price cannot be too high. After all, most of them are from poor families, and no one will buy them if the price is too high.

I'll go back and find out how much it costs to rent a stall at the pier and think about this matter carefully.

Xu Yiyi is a person who either doesn't do anything or tries his best to do it.

Sihai sighed, "Wuyuan, you should grow up quickly! I can't understand what my elder sisters are saying..."

Sihai held Wuyuan's little hand and thought to himself, is this the adult?

What he said was confusing and I couldn't understand it at all.

"Si Hai, come and help Big Sister light the fire!"

This child is not only picky about food, but also a little spoiled. Xu Yiyi thought that this was inherited from Zhan Jilan.

After all, among the five children in the family, Wuyuan cannot be identified for the time being, and only Sihai looks the most like Zhan Jilan.

Xu Yiyi can't afford to support the young master now, and she doesn't intend to take care of everything. The children do nothing.

That would tire her to death.

While your child is still young and can move around, use him more often.

Sihai is quite lazy and rarely takes the initiative to work.

But he never hesitated when he was called. He sat under the stove with his chin supported by his little hands, watching his elder sister cook with curiosity.

There was no such thing as stir-frying in this dynasty, and stewing was the most common way of cooking.

After Xu Yiyi came, she fried eggs and almost made the children in the family faint from the smell.

The most commonly eaten cauliflower in the dry pot was out of stock, so lotus root was used instead. Unfortunately, Xu Yiyi had not found any chili peppers after so many days.

Some peppers and garlic are imported products.

Although this dynasty is different from the formal Tang Dynasty, they generally have some similarities.

If there is no chili pepper, use Sichuan peppercorns, which are just numbing but not spicy. Add a spoonful of special soybean paste bought at the dock and rice wine to enhance the flavor.

The dry pot squid, which Xu Yiyi thought was extremely unauthentic, was ready.

"It smells so good... Big sister, what delicious food did you make?"

Er'er and Sanchuan each came back carrying a fish basket. There were many people at the beach, and there were not many things to see.

All the siblings came back without picking up enough.

Fortunately, Xu Yiyi went out early and she had basically picked up all the big stuff.

"Second sister, third brother, make us some dry pot squid. It's delicious."

Sihai ran out with a smooth talk, and Sanchuan was a little upset when he saw it.

"No! My eldest sister gave it to me."

Sihai's eyes were almost drawn to the plate of dry-pot squid, and only then did Xu Yiyi feed him a bite.

"Hurry up and take a shower. We'll have dinner after you're done."

Xu Yiyi started to boil water as soon as she entered the door. Er'er was stubborn and strong-willed, and she was also timid and didn't know how to make choices.

It was raining when she first went to pick up the trash, but there was no one on the beach at that time, and there were many large items that no one picked up, so she was willing to go out in the rain.

But when there are too many people, there aren't many things to pick up, so it's actually a bit unnecessary.

Even though it started to rain again, I still had to run outside.

She didn't say anything and let her take her brother to do whatever he wanted.
