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

Xu Yiyi slowly dived down, and the world around him gradually became quiet.

Only strings of bubbles told of her whereabouts.

All kinds of strange fish swam around her, looking at her, the uninvited guest, curiously.

Finally, Xu Yiyi arrived at the mysterious and beautiful coral forest.

He approached cautiously, his movements so gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing this dream garden under the sea.

She moved among them, observing carefully.

If the coral is too big, it will attract people's attention when given away; if it is too small, its value cannot be reflected.

So, a moderate size is fine, and it should be larger than what you usually see.

It is rumored that the six-foot-long coral is a treasure, but according to Lin Ke, the one the current emperor got was only five feet long.

Although Lin Ke's grandfather was the Grand Tutor of three dynasties, he was extremely noble.

But as a subject, I naturally cannot go beyond the emperor's authority.

So Xu Yiyi planned to pick a coral that was more than three feet long.

She carefully stretched out her hand and gently touched the coral.

Then he pulled out the dagger from his waist and dug up the roots, being careful and cautious to avoid damaging other corals.

When the coral can be completely pulled out, it turns around and swims back to the surface.

"Throw the iron net down, and when I start pulling, you guys pull it up."

There is an influence of water currents on the seabed. If you use an iron net to catch corals, it can resist the impact of water currents to a certain extent, ensuring that the corals will not be broken by water during the process of being pulled up, causing damage to the corals.

As the iron net slowly sank back to the bottom of the sea, Xu Yiyi put the pulled corals back into the iron net.

He reached out and shook it a few times, and the people above noticed the movement and started pulling up.

Xu Yiyi followed, paying attention to the invasion of fish from time to time.

When the iron net floated to the surface, water was hanging on the red coral. Under the sunlight, the red color appeared more rich and gorgeous, instantly attracting the attention of everyone on the boat.

The tree-like red coral has a very unique branching structure and a naturally curved arc.

Lin Ke was stunned when he saw it. This was a beautiful object carved by nature.

"Well? I carefully selected this. It's suitable for your grandfather's status and does not go beyond the norm."

Xu Yiyi took the dry cloth and wiped the water off her body.

"Great! The ones I've seen before were about the size of potted plants. This is the first time I've seen one this big and this beautiful."

Lin Ke put his head close to the red coral and exclaimed in admiration.

Xu Yiyi took clean clothes and went upstairs to change her wet clothes.

Ever since she caught a cold after going into the water, she has been very careful about this matter.

Always change clothes after going into the water.

The official ship came out and brought back a rare item.

The people on the island loved to join in the fun and came running over to take a look.

Xu Yisheng was afraid of being surrounded, so he quickly took the fish handed to him by Aunt Li and ran back home quietly.

At that time, the little kids in the yard were still asleep.

A Yue and Er Er were grinding shells with stones on the doorstep. The shells on the windows at home were layered and some were broken, so they needed to be replaced.

The material of this shell is very special. Many people living by the sea use this shell as tiles on doors, windows, and eaves. It is durable, light-transmitting, and opaque.

This allows sufficient light into the room.

The two of them stopped from time to time, squinting their eyes to carefully examine the surface of the shell, looking for areas that needed further polishing.

With continuous polishing, the shell begins to become as smooth as a mirror, and its unique texture and warm luster begin to emerge.

Wu Yuan was the first to wake up amid the sound of polishing.

This kid likes to howl when he wakes up, so Xu Yiyi quickly picked him up.

Comfort him before he starts yelling.

Otherwise, if he shouted, all the children in the yard would wake up.

Only after the children at home have finished their lazy nap will my uncle ask someone to take them to the river for training.

Sihai was floating on the water holding a float, and he didn't care about the competition at all.

The child was very lazy. There were many children on the river, so he hid in it. When his great uncle looked over, he put the float aside and pretended to swim. When his great uncle turned his head to the other side, he climbed back onto the float.

Xu Yiyi swam away calmly, and the next moment Sihai's float was picked up by his uncle's net bag.

Sihai was frightened by this sudden change and drank several sips of water.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

Although my great uncle is old, his eyes are very kind.

Sihai swam like a dog paddling, splashing in the water.

"Sister, why don't I go to school too? I want to go to school. Can I go now?"

Sihai was worried about Sanchuan who was studying. He went out in the morning and came back in the afternoon.

I have to follow my elder sister to set up a night stall in the evening, so I don’t have to come here to listen to my uncle’s lecture.

"What do you think?"

According to Er'er, Sihai is like Zhan Jilan in this respect. He extremely dislikes water, so he feels disgusted every time he goes into the water.

Sihai sighed and swam in the water with his little face puffed up.

An hour later, all the children on the river left.

Lin Ke's boat also returned.

"You said this ship is actually swaying on the sea, we should be able to find it, right?"

How come there is no movement at all this afternoon?

"Who knows how cunning they are. They must be pretending to be a legitimate merchant ship. If they don't stop at the shore, they will naturally not be discovered by you."

Xu Yiyi marinated the fresh fish in the yard, and then took out the braised pig intestines from the clay pot and stuffed a long scallion into them, preparing to set up the stall.

"Those thieves said that there's a man called Jia Guanshi who will be going to the island soon to send a cook to cook for them. I've sent someone over to keep an eye on him, but I don't know when we'll get any news back."

The merchant ship must have used the name of Manager Jia as its trading name to lure the fishermen onto the ship.

"How can you eat so much with just a few children in your family?"

Lin Ke watched curiously. Xu Yiyi pickled the shrimps and crabs and then went to watch the ribs and pork belly being cut. A Yue was processing the sea fish, and Si Hai was cleaning the squid and small octopus.

Er'er cooked dinner for them in the kitchen.

"What are you thinking about? We'll go set up the stall later."

Ah Yue nodded.

"Go sell delicious food one by one."

"Going out to a night market?"

When Lin Ke saw Sihai picking up the processed squid and small octopus and pouring them into the sieve, he stood up to help.

"What are you doing? Didn't Lao Xu give you money? Don't work too hard. If you need any help, just come to me, Fang Zhiyi."

Lin Ke couldn't imagine how tiring it must be for a young woman like Xu Yiyi to make a living with her younger siblings, setting up a stall in the morning and evening, and even going out to sea in the afternoon!

"He should keep his little money for the family! I earn money to buy things I want."

Xu Yiyi counted the money last night. He made a lot of money some time ago by taking advantage of the pearl boom.

This amount of money is enough to buy a two-story ship.

But she also wants to open a restaurant.

Nowadays, the business of the stall is getting better and better, with more and more people coming, and she has a stronger desire to open a restaurant.
