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

Chapter 39 I Buy the Ticket, You Pay
Shi Xia smiled politely and shook his head.

"I can't make the decision right now, and I don't know how much to buy. I'm just asking, what quantity do we need to buy? Will you re-dry the salt?"

"I need to know the number before I can go back to the meeting and make a decision."

What Shi Xia said made sense, but Village Chief Zhou rejected Shi Xia before he even came up.

Lao Cao asked her to come and ask, and since the girl was fair-skinned and spoke clearly, it was obvious that she had been educated.

Nowadays, people respect those who have received education.

"So...we'll dry any salt over a thousand kilograms."

They have salt fields, but they don't dry them because the subsequent purification process is not good enough. They don't have money to buy equipment, and inland salt is more convenient, so they gradually stopped drying it.

But crude salt is different. As long as it undergoes simple purification, the process is not complicated.

"How much does coarse salt cost?"

"One cent per pound."

"Okay, whether we buy it or not, I'll come and tell you once we come to a conclusion."

Village chief Zhou nodded and agreed, but without much hope in his heart, he went back to work.

Shi Xia also turned around and left, going back to find Wen Chengan and return to Haisan Island.

When she returned to the guesthouse, Wen Cheng'an was doing push-ups.

Shi Xia stood at the door, looking at Wen Cheng'an with surprise and not surprise.

"So positive?"

Wen Cheng'an didn't stop, just hummed in a low voice.

Shi Xia didn't disturb him. After packing up the things he bought, Wen Cheng'an also finished.

Sweat was dripping down his cheeks. Shi Xia couldn't bear to see it, so he handed him a newly bought towel.

"Lend it to you."

Wen Chengan took the towel and thought for a moment, "My money isn't with you, just deduct it from there."

"what?"

Shi Xia was puzzled, but it was okay after thinking about it.

She looked at Wen Chengan who was wiping his sweat.

"Can you leave?"

"Must be able!"

Wen Cheng'an straightened his back, and the rebellious and thorny young master Wen was back again.

Shi Xia said no more and prepared to pick up the shoulder pole.

"I come!"

Wen Cheng'an took the lead and picked up the shoulder pole, then tried to pick up the package on the ground.

Shi Xia looked at Wen Cheng'an suspiciously, then looked out the window.

"The sun rises from the east, so positive...Wen Chengan, do you have something to ask of me?"

Wen Cheng'an was speechless. He couldn't just want to help her.

I thought this in my heart, but what came out of my mouth were different words.

"I really do have that money... Please keep it for me. I've never seen so much money before. I can't sleep at night if I keep it around."

Shi Xia did not hide his disdain and walked away first.

"That's all I can do."

"That's called caution!"

"You haven't read a book, but your excuse is quite erudite."

"I just can't write, I'm not dumb!"

……

Wen Chengan picked up the shoulder pole and followed Shi Xia. Along the way, he heard the two of them making fun of each other, it was very lively.

The two of them walked all the way to the ferry terminal, and Shi Xia bought a ticket.

"I'll buy the ticket, you pay."

"Row."

Shi Xiazai was not soft-hearted at all when it came to Wen Chengan, and she taught him many skills for free.

Wen Cheng'an didn't care at all and followed Shi Xia with a smile on his face.

The ferry started to hum, and Shi Xia suddenly turned his head.

"Aren't you going to buy something?"

Wen Cheng'an's body stiffened, and he forgot this ridiculous excuse.

"That... I forgot."

"I'll buy it next time. I'm not in a hurry."

Shi Xia thought it made sense. Anyone who heard about such a big thing would be uneasy. She hummed and turned away.

Wen Chengan next to him: She doesn’t doubt me, right?
The two people had completely different ideas and arrived at Haisan Island quietly all the way.

It was already 4:30 in the afternoon when they arrived at Haisan Island. Shi Xia got off the boat and went to Uncle Cao's house to get things done.

Wen Cheng'an took Shi Xia's things back to his home first and waited for Shi Xia to come back to get them.

Uncle Cao's house.

When Uncle Cao saw Shi Xia coming, he called her into the house.

"Is it going well? No one is bullying you, right?"

"No, you don't have to worry about anyone bullying me."

Shi Xia smiled and sat down.

"How can I not be worried? What if you hit someone too hard on land...it would be difficult to deal with."

Shi Xia blinked, then heard Uncle Cao whispering his experience: "If we want to fight, we have to fight on the sea. No one will know after we're done."

Shi Xia's smile suddenly stopped. This turn of events caught her off guard.

"Uncle Cao, I've found out everything."

Shi Xia skipped the obscure topic of "it's easy to hide corpses at sea" and told Uncle Cao about the price, coarse salt and other things she had inquired about.

Uncle Cao took out his little notebook and wrote it down.

"Shixia, we can't use a thousand kilograms of coarse salt, right?"

"You can't catch so many things by going to the sea."

Shi Xia certainly knew that going to the beach was never her goal.

"Uncle Cao, waiting for the sea to give us fish is definitely not an option, but we can cultivate them ourselves."

Breeding?

Uncle Cao was confused for a moment. He knew that there were chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and sheep, but could he raise seafood?

It seems not impossible.

"Uncle Cao, let's start with something simple and cultivate kelp."

"Find some kelp seedlings, plant them on a rope, tie a float to the rope, secure it, and throw it into the sea. You don't need to feed it, it will grow naturally."

"As long as it's ready, we can dry it into kelp."

Shi Xia's words opened a new door for Uncle Cao, and his eyes became brighter the more he listened.

"Good idea! Good idea!"

"I can go down to the sea and find some kelp seedlings. Let's try planting some first."

Uncle Cao nodded repeatedly.

"it is good!"

After Shi Xia gave the remaining money and the receipts for the spending to Uncle Cao, she left and went home.

"Shi Xia—-please take care of your chickens!"

"Don't come over here!"

"I'm telling you, I just don't want to hurt you! It's not that I can't beat you!"

Wen Cheng'an was holding up his pants and tying the belt while running. Xiaohua, who was following him, was flying with her wings, her head stretched out, staring at Wen Cheng'an's butt all the way and chasing him madly.

Wen Cheng'an sprinted forward, hid behind Shi Xia, and pointed at the little chicken.

"Your chicken attacked me!"

Shi Xia glanced back.

"Why are you looking at me? Don't you have anything to say?"

Wen Cheng'an put his hands behind his back awkwardly and cleared his throat.

"Yeah... I think people are most vulnerable when they're using the toilet."

Shi Xia found a civilized word, and Wen Cheng'an felt embarrassed but wanted to laugh.

"Chuckle—-Chuckle—"

Xiaohua came over, and Wen Chengan said before he could refute her: "Hurry up and take care of it!"

Shi Xia smiled righteously: "I told you a long time ago, my little flower is smart, be careful that it will take revenge on you."

"It's come true."

Shi Xia raised his hand and called out Xiaohua.

The little flower, which looked like it would not stop until it bit you, lowered its wings in an instant, its little eyes became gentle, and it tilted its head towards Shi Xia.

Shi Xia touched Xiaohua's head.

"You feel wronged, don't you? I get it. I'm not angry."

Wen Chengan behind was so angry that he laughed. I was bitten on the butt, and the one who was comforted was the little chicken?
He was... damn jealous.
