Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 33 A Little Pepper Comes
Tang Qiuyue really doesn't know how to swim. She didn't grow up by the sea in either of her previous lives. Although she knows a lot about seafood, they are all science fiction related to the end of the world.

There was no need to think about going to sea for the time being. After dinner, Tang Qiuyue saw a lot of people coming to the door of the house. In addition to Zhan Zeye’s soldiers, there were also two young wives.

"These two are residents of the island. They have lived on the island for generations and are very familiar with the conditions in the sea. You can follow them to the reef!"

Zhan Zeye didn't have time to take Tang Qiyue out to play, as he had to hurry up and build the house. It was indeed inconvenient without a toilet.

Tang Qiyue greeted the two islanders enthusiastically. Their dialect was similar to that of the residents on the shore, and Tang Qiyue could barely understand it.

Knowing that there would be only a small tide today, there would be nothing good to find by going to the beach. At most, one could pick up some conchs, small fish and shrimps. Even so, Tang Qiyue was very happy.

She called Xu Qiuju and asked her if she wanted to join them. Xu Qiuju had been thinking about going to the beach for a long time and could not afford to miss the opportunity. She immediately let the three children follow Hu Peng to play in Tang Qiyue's yard. She did not dare to take the children to the beach.

Tang Qiyue and Xu Qiuju were making quite a lot of noise, and Li Erhong also heard it and joined in.

Although the five women were not familiar with each other, Xu Qiuju and Li Erhong were talkative. Two residents on the island were married women, one was called Yu Niang and the other was called Shanhu.

Neither of them is shy, but rather warm and generous.

The Fisherwoman and Coral are divers on the island. They are girls who have been trained to go to the sea to collect seafood since childhood and are very familiar with the sea.

When they arrived at the rocky beach, he took a look at the situation and started to lead them to crack oysters.

"Although this stuff is everywhere on the reef, it tastes delicious and doesn't need any special processing. You just need to steam it and you can eat it directly!"

There was nothing good today, there was nothing good on the beach except shells. The fisherman's wife and Coral also knew that Tang Qiuyue and the others had never gone to sea, so they didn't say too much, but started with the most easily recognizable oysters.

Tang Qiyue and the other two naturally would not refuse. Shanhu gave each of them something similar to a pointed hammer and first demonstrated how to crack open the oysters, and then used a scraper to clean out the oysters.

Coral, who had been trained since childhood, was really fast. Tang Qiyue and the others were either breaking the oyster shells, or the oysters fell off when they were cutting the meat.

Fortunately, this job is not too difficult and practice makes perfect.

There were actually sea urchins in the crevices of the reef. When the fisherwoman saw the palm-sized sea urchin, she pried open its mouth on the spot, cleaned out the internal organs, and gave one to each of Tang Qiyue and the others.

Li Erhong looked at the still squirming yellow sea urchin and was so scared that she didn't dare to eat it.

However, Tang Qiuyue, who knew sea urchins, knew that they were very delicious.

She used a scraper to scrape out a sea urchin and put it into her mouth. The freshness of it was indescribable. No wonder so many people like to eat this.

Li Erhong looked at Tang Qiyue in surprise. She thought that Tang Qiyue was a delicate young lady who would never eat this thing. She never expected that she would be so straightforward. The key point was that she saw that Tang Qiyue was enjoying the food very much.

“Is this really delicious?”

Xu Qiuju had never seen it before, but she thought that the fisherman's wife grew up by the sea and would definitely not lie to them, not to mention that Tang Qiyue had already eaten it.

“Very delicious, very fresh!”

Tang Qiuyue finished one and didn't continue eating. She knew that although seafood can be eaten raw, it is better to eat it cooked. After all, the treatment of parasites is still very backward in this era.

Just try it out.

Xu Qiuju had eaten insects in the countryside, so she didn't mind eating them. She quickly put one in her mouth, her eyebrows almost flying up. Li Erhong took a look and took a bite with a skeptical attitude. Then she saw her scrape the whole sea urchin and eat it.

When they wanted to eat the second one, the fisherwoman reminded them: "Try one to taste it. If you like it, take it home and steam it before eating it, so as not to make your stomach upset!"

They grew up on the island and have been eating raw food since childhood, so they are used to it. But Tang Qiyue and his family are from inland areas, so they are afraid that they will get stomach upset, and there will not be much medicine to treat them.

Li Erhong licked her lips and took note of this delicious thing called sea urchin. She thought that she would come to the reef beach to have a look when she had nothing to do in the future and must get some back for her family to taste.

A group of women were chatting, and the mechanical task of cracking oysters was not so boring.

As the sea water slowly rose, Coral and the Fisherwoman asked them to go back, saying that there was no shortage of these things at the seaside and they could pick them up every day. It would be a waste if they got too much and couldn't eat them.

Tang Qiyue and Li Erhong thanked Shanhu and the fisherman's wife again and again, made an appointment with them to go fishing together next time, and then went back together carrying the wooden bucket.

As soon as they reached the temporary dock and saw a ship approaching, they stopped to watch out of curiosity.

Many people got off the boat, especially several female soldiers in military uniforms, each of them holding their heads high like proud little peacocks.

"Aren't they saying that the island is full of family members and soldiers? Why are there female soldiers?"

Xu Qiuju asked Hu Peng yesterday, but he didn't hear that any female soldiers were coming.

Li Erhong nudged Xu Qiuju with her elbow and said, "Keep your voice down. I heard from Dazhuang yesterday that there are not only our family members on the island, but also many more people will come one after another. Do you see the short-haired girl holding the child in the back? That's Political Commissar Wu's wife!"

Li Erhong had visited her relatives in the army before and met some of her sisters-in-law.

"It is said that the conditions for joining the army on the island this time are that anyone above the company commander level can join, and some technicians and their families are also coming!"

That means a lot of people will come to the island.

Tang Qiyue didn't know any of this. She didn't even recognize them and was still thinking about going back to process the oysters, so she asked Xu Qiuju and the others to go back.

It's not nice to be lively or anything like that.

They just didn't want to watch the fun, but those people on the shore didn't think so. While they were talking about others, those people were also watching them.

Although Tang Qiyue and the other two only stopped for a moment, Tang Qiyue's appearance was too outstanding. Amidst the red and black faces everywhere, it was hard not to notice Tang Qiyue, whose skin was so white that it reflected light.

Especially the female soldier who was carrying a medical kit. As soon as she got off the boat, she saw Tang Qiyue and immediately took Wu Zhengwei's wife's arm and said, "Sister, do you know whose relative that woman is?"

Zheng Hongjuan kept glancing at Tang Qiyue. Political Commissar Wu's daughter-in-law was holding down her youngest son who was about to run away. She looked up and was also shocked by Tang Qiyue's appearance.

“Never seen it!”

She had just arrived on the island and was not familiar with the situation here. How would she know who was who?
However, a soldier who was in charge of picking them up heard what Zheng Hongjuan said and enthusiastically helped to clarify the mystery: "That's Battalion Commander Zhan's lover!"

Zheng Hongjuan widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Is she the vixen who relied on Brother Zhan on behalf of Tang Chunlan?"
