The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

At this somewhat awkward moment.

Zhou Zhiming, Wu Tian, ​​Qian Dazhuang, and Song Hai, each carrying a fish basket, walked back from a distance with satisfied smiles on their faces.

I saw Li Kaixin with the other children from before.

Zhou Zhiming waved and shouted excitedly, "Master! Master! Come and see, our baskets are all full!"

Li Kaixin also noticed the four of them and took the opportunity to change the subject, waving to them as well.

When the four arrived, Li Kaixin immediately introduced them to the children: "These are my friends. Could you please help me take a look at them?"

"Okay, big brother."

The older child responded, and the other children nodded in agreement.

Zhou Zhiming and his three companions were completely bewildered and didn't understand what they were talking about.

Zhou Zhiming couldn't resist stepping forward with his fish basket, asking curiously, "Master, what are you talking about?"

Hearing his apprentice's question, Li Kaixin turned around and explained with a smile:

"I'd like to ask these young comrades to help us see if everything we've picked up is edible."

As he spoke, he took the fish basket from Zhou Zhiming and handed it to the children.

Then he looked at Wu Tian and the other two: "Xiao Tian, ​​bring yours over too."

Wu Tian and the other two then realized what was happening and quickly handed over their fish baskets as well.

The children were very responsible and carefully checked the four of them.

In no time at all, they had finished inspecting the four fish baskets.

However, he wore the same strange expression on his face as when he had inspected Li Kaixin's basket earlier.

Seeing their expressions, Li Kaixin knew that she was no longer the only one who felt awkward.

"How is it? Can I eat it all?" Li Kaixin asked, suppressing a laugh.

The older child replied with a complicated expression, "They can eat everything... but the livestock feeders have collected more than you have, big brother."

After saying that, the children handed the fish basket back to Wu Tian and the others.

Upon hearing this, the joy on Wu Tian and the other three's faces instantly froze, and they awkwardly took back the fish basket.

"Big brother, if there's nothing else, we'll be going now," the older child said to Li Kaixin.

Seeing this, Li Kaixin smiled and said, "Thank you all. Here, have some candy."

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a handful of milk candies from the secret space, and gave one to each child.

The children's eyes lit up as they received the candy, and they happily thanked him, saying, "Thank you, big brother!"

"You're welcome, consider this a token of my appreciation. Go and have some fun," Li Kaixin said amiably.

"Goodbye, big brother!" The children waved, clutching their milk candies, and ran off happily.

After the children had run far away.

Zhou Zhiming and the other three surrounded Li Kaixin, looking at him with expressions that said, "Something's wrong with you."

Wu Tian, ​​with ill intent, spoke first: "Kaixin, did you already know?"

"Xiao Tian, ​​what did you say? I don't understand." Li Kaixin blinked innocently.

Zhou Zhiming, standing nearby, chimed in, "Master, stop pretending! You definitely knew beforehand!"

Although Qian Dazhuang and Song Hai didn't speak, their eyes were fixed on Li Kaixin, and their meaning was crystal clear.

Li Kaixin knew he couldn't admit it at this moment, so he immediately put on a hurt expression and sighed:

"Zhiming, even you don't believe in your master anymore? That really breaks my heart."

He paused, then put on a sincere expression: "Besides, how could I possibly know as much as a local which seafood is safe to eat and which isn't?"

Seeing that Li Kaixin spoke sincerely and his expression did not seem fake, everyone became suspicious.

Li Kaixin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to change the subject: "Look, it's getting late, let's head back first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he squeezed through the four people's encirclement and led the way with the fish basket in his hand.

Wu Tian and the other three exchanged glances, then stopped dwelling on the matter and followed Li Kaixin.

The group of five headed towards the transport team's lodgings.

Upon arriving at the dormitory, Li Kaixin and the other two parted ways with Wu Tian and went back to their respective rooms.

As soon as I pushed open the door, Master Chen was already waiting inside.

Seeing the three men enter carrying fish baskets, he smiled and said, "Hey, you three, what good stuff did you bring back?"

"Master, I just grabbed some seafood from the pile of rocks," Li Kaixin replied with a smile, as he brought the fish basket to Master Chen.

"Really? Let me see."

Master Chen also became interested and wanted to see what his apprentices had picked up.

He then took the fish basket and examined it carefully.

A moment later, Master Chen handed the bamboo basket back, nodding in praise: "Not bad, you picked out edible things."

"Master, I also had a local check it again," Li Kaixin added.

Master Chen nodded after hearing this and didn't check the other two people's fish baskets anymore.

Next, Zhou Zhiming and Song Hai started preparing dinner.

The seafood from the three fish baskets was dumped into a large pot and steamed.

Li Kaixin and Master Chen sat on the edge of the bed and chatted.

Li Kaixin asked, "Master, have you prepared the clothes you wanted for us?"

"It's all ready," Master Chen said, taking out a few old clothes from a bundle next to him.

Li Kaixin picked up a pair of pants and saw that they were not only covered in patches but also had holes. He felt that if he wore them, the crotch would be drafty.

So, somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Master, why did you choose such a worn-out one?"

"Isn't breaking it a little bit perfect?"

Master Chen smiled and asked in return, then added, "I borrowed this from a fellow villager with great difficulty. Be careful with your clothes, you'll have to return it to him later."

Li Kaixin's lips twitched, but he didn't know what to say. He could only silently admire his master.

It was one thing for the clothes to be torn, but Li Kaixin really couldn't stand the way the pants were torn like this.

"Master, may I choose some?"

"Choose one!" Master Chen waved his hand with a smile, as if to say, "It's up to you."

Li Kaixin didn't stand on ceremony and immediately started picking things out.

He wasn't being pretentious, it's just that some of his clothes were really too worn out, and he didn't want to expose his groin under the moonlight.

Finally, I picked out a pair of pants that had many patches but were still relatively intact, and grabbed a shirt at random.

For dinner, since all the contents of the three large fish baskets were cooked, Li Kaixin and the others were stuffed.

In the end, we had to give some to other dormitories before we finished them all.

Zhou Zhiming touched his stomach and finally couldn't hold back the question that had been lingering in his mind:

"Master, what exactly are those kids talking about feeding livestock?"

"It's that thing you said tasted like a car tire when you were eating it just now," Li Kaixin replied with a smile.

He didn't know before that abalone would become like a rubber band if cooked for too long, and it would be impossible to chew.

However, in his memories of his previous life, abalone was actually quite delicious if cooked the right way.
