Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 29: Prepare to Sell
Seafood is delicious, but it is not oily. If you eat too much, you will lose the oil.

Shi Xia missed the fragrant, fat, and soft pork belly, the fragrant ribs sticking to the bone, and the pig's trotters full of collagen...

I can’t think about it anymore, my mouth is watering.

Uncle Cao was listening to Cao Ping's explanation, and his mouth remained open.

Is Shi Xia so powerful?

Oh my god, it’s really the blessing of the Sea Goddess.

Uncle Cao looked at Shi Xia excitedly, wishing he could burn three incense sticks for her on the spot.

After hearing Shi Xia's questions, he looked at the sun and saw that it was probably two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Then let's go now. It'll take two hours. If we get there around four o'clock, we can still sell it!"

When Shi Xia heard this, he raised his hand and volunteered.

"Uncle Cao, I want to go!"

Uncle Cao looked at the great hero Shi Xia and waved his hand, saying, "Then go!"

The fishing team has its own procedures, and they act immediately with clear division of labor.

The fish in the small fish tanks were released and reserved for distribution to fishermen on the islands.

Although we live by the sea, it is not easy to catch big fish.

These big fish are dried into fish, which is enough for the fishermen to eat for a long time.

It is more or less considered meat.

Everyone worked together. Shi Xia wanted to help but was blocked by Cao Ping.

"No need for you, this little job will be done in no time!"

Shi Xia simply nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait."

Shi Xia stood aside, and the fishermen who had just finished working on the island came over to help.

Among the group of people, Shi Xia saw Wen Chengan at a glance.

She simply put her hands behind her back and strolled to Wen Chengan's side.

"Judging from your attire, the battle was intense today, huh?"

Wen Cheng'an wanted to roll his eyes, but the dirt on his face made it impossible for him to open his eyes.

He raised a finger to Shi Xia, meaning to wait a moment.

Shi Xia stood sideways, watching Wen Cheng'an walk to the beach, wash his hands and face in the sea water.

Wen Cheng'an, who had washed himself clean, walked towards Shi Xia again, putting one hand in his pocket and taking something out.

"Give!"

Shi Xia lowered his head.

There were three small red wild fruits in Wen Cheng'an's wet palm.

"Here, I don't like it."

Wen Chengan's awkward excuse made Shi Xia laugh out loud, and he jokingly said, "There are so many things that Master Wen doesn't like to eat."

"Is it okay for me to be picky about food?"

"Okay, I'm not picky about food. I like to eat everything."

Shi Xia took the three small fruits, wiped them twice with his hands, and took a bite.

I go!

be cheated!
This is too sour!
Shi Xia glanced at Wen Chengan. Was this guy doing it on purpose?

Wen Cheng'an glanced at Shi Xia, who had an expressionless face. Was the fruit delicious?

He couldn't bear to taste it.

When he went to the toilet, he saw a few fruits on a tree. There were signs that birds had eaten them. They were non-toxic. Only three of them on the tree were red, and the others were still green, so he picked them and gave them to Shi Xia.

Shi Xia's teeth felt numb and sore, as if there were teeth in her mouth but she couldn't find them.

"Mmm—sweet!"

Shi Xia, who said it was sweet, took another bite and looked at Wen Chengan with a look of fondness.

"one comes."

When Wen Cheng'an saw that Shi Xia liked it, he didn't want it anymore, but facing Shi Xia's bright eyes, he took it again.

"That's sweet, isn't it?"

Shi Xia smiled and looked at Wen Cheng'an who had already taken a bite of the fruit, and the next second the two looked at each other.

Wen Chengan: You are really patient!

Shi Xia: No matter whether you did it on purpose or not, I can’t be the only one to suffer.

"What are you two eating?"

Li Daniu came over and stared at Shi Xia and Wen Chengan curiously.

The two people who were staring at each other turned their heads at the same time.

"Daniel is here, we are eating fruit."

"This fruit is too sour, don't eat it!"

Shi Xia said one thing, Wen Cheng'an said another, and the next second they both took a bite of the fruit at the same time, looking anxious to finish it and not wanting to share it with others.

When Li Daniu saw it, he immediately showed a "smart" smile.

"Give me one, I don't mind the sourness!"

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an tacitly showed expressions that they didn't want to give, but it was difficult not to give.

Shi Xia handed over the fruit in his hand somewhat reluctantly. Li Daniu happily took it and took a big bite.

"Hiss—Pah, pah, pah!"

“It’s really sour!”

"My teeth—"

Li Daniu quickly spat out the sour fruit and looked at Shi Xia and Wen Chengan with guilt.

"Boss, it turns out what you said is true!"

"I actually don't believe you!"

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an watched quietly as Li Daniu left with a "guilty" look on his face.

Wen Cheng'an glanced at Shi Xia and asked, "Comrade Shi Xia, what do you think about betraying such an honest Li Daniu?"

“I feel a little bit reluctant…”

After Shi Xia finished speaking, he sighed and continued, "Fortunately, I managed to endure it."

After saying this, Shi Xia looked at Wen Cheng'an, who was covered in dirt.

"You're covered in dirt... so you're going to be a worm?"

Wen Cheng'an turned his head in slow motion, frowned, and was speechless.

"I'm not even as good as an earthworm."

"My dad insisted on teaching me how to use a hoe and a pickaxe, and he got so engrossed in teaching me that he ended up throwing dirt all over me."

Shi Xia imagined the scene: Wen Laoshi was exaggeratingly breaking down the movements of the work in front, and Wen Chengan was silently catching the dirt with his face in the back.

"Uncle Wen is teaching you survival skills, so be good and learn from him."

Wen Chengan said reluctantly: "I didn't run away."

Shi Xia knew that Wen Cheng'an had a very sensitive self-esteem, but he was not stubborn and blindly self-respecting.

Wen Cheng'an probably didn't even notice that he was no longer the Wen Cheng'an who had just come to the island and had been arguing with everyone he met.

Shi Xia skipped the topic and said to Wen Chengan, "We're selling fish on land, and you should follow us."

"Oh."

Wen Cheng'an didn't even ask why, he just turned around and ran home to change his clothes.

After waiting for Wen Cheng'an to change his clothes and come back, Cao Ping shouted that Shi Xia was leaving.

Shi Xia took Wen Chengan on board. The man on the boat who was going to sell fish looked at them with a deep smile in his eyes.

As expected of a young couple, they just like being together.

"Shi Xia, you two sit here."

"Yes, yes, this side is spacious."

"You two are talking, we are too far away to hear you."

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone started to make fun of him, Shi Xia walked over calmly, saying that Wen Cheng'an didn't care about anything, which was fake.

The two of them didn't feel embarrassed at all about being teased. Instead, the people who teased them gradually fell silent.

There's always something missing when a joke isn't responded to.

After everyone sat down, the fishing boat started.

As we swayed along, the islanders were all looking forward to the estimated value of the boatload of fish, and they all wanted to sell more.

The fish caught by the islanders are sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives, which have a special place to collect fish.

Three hours later, the fishing boat entered the port and docked.

Cao Ping went to find someone to weigh the goods, and Shi Xia went with him to see the price.

The fish collection window was not far away. Cao Ping walked over to talk to him as he was familiar with the place. Shi Xia stood outside, looking at the price sign.

The expensive yellow croaker, sea bass, etc. in later generations have no price advantage here.

Fish is fish, there is no concept of expensive classification, and if there are differences, they are very subtle.

There are only a few major categories on the sign, including fish, sea cucumbers, shrimps, hairtail, and kelp.

From the cheapest kelp at one cent per pound, to hairtail at two cents per pound.

Of course, these are the purchase prices. They will be slightly more expensive when sold, but not much.

Shi Xia seemed to be thinking about something, so hairtail is actually more expensive.

"Shi Xia, let's go weigh ourselves!"

"coming!"
