Chapter 18 Count Me In

Shi Xia finished speaking with a smile, and Uncle Cao signaled to her with his eyes, and the two of them walked aside.

"In theory, if you hand in something, you can get double the work points, and then when things are distributed, you can pick first and get more."

After Uncle Cao finished speaking, he looked at Shi Xia.

Shi Xia smiled politely. She didn't like beating around the bush and stated her request directly.

"Uncle Cao, I'm a good swimmer and I have good luck. You may not believe it now, but if you let me go out to sea next time, you will definitely believe it."

"So, my request is to join the advanced fishing team. I will give Aunt Zhang the work of recording work points. I can hand over the seafood every time, but I want 20% of the profit. This 20% profit does not include the full centimeter. And as you said, I will choose to take more of these first."

Uncle Cao frowned.

It’s not because Shi Xia said something too much or it’s difficult to operate, but because he doesn’t know how much profit Shi Xia can bring.

"Tokika——"

"Uncle Cao, I'm not asking you to decide now. This sea cucumber is my first proof. Let's find a few aunts with flexible hands and feet to deal with the sea cucumber first."

When Uncle Cao heard this, he nodded immediately.

"you're right!"

Uncle Cao immediately called over a few nimble women and told them to follow Shi Xia.

"Go and process the sea cucumbers. Your work points for today will be calculated as usual."

Shi Xia looked at the aunts and said, "Aunts, let's hurry up. The sea cucumbers are easier to sell if they are dried, and everyone can get more at the end of the year. If they melt, it will be a waste."

"Yes, yes! Let's go."

"Hurry up! That stuff doesn't resist the sun."

Several people followed Shi Xia and jogged back. On the way there, some people even went home to get tools.

When the seven people arrived at Xia Xiaoyuan, their eyes lit up when they saw the pile of sea cucumbers.

"hurry up!"

"Hurry up and do it!"

Several people immediately joined the team to process the sea cucumbers.

Use scissors to cut open the belly, rinse it clean, rub it with sea water, and finally rub the mucus off the body with coarse salt.

When the mucus feels clean, steam it in a pot.

After steaming, it is dried in the sun.

The sun is strong at the seaside, so drying it in the sun for one to two days will be enough.

Including Shi Xia, there were ten people in total, working hard.

During this time, the village chief Uncle Cao also came over. Looking at the pile of sea cucumbers, he had an idea in his mind.

Luck is really a mysterious thing.

If Shi Xia could really return with a full load every time, it wouldn't be impossible for her to agree to her conditions.

The marine resources are still quite abundant at present, but due to backward technology and extremely inconvenient transportation, many fish cannot be sold at a high price.

At the end of the year, the fishing team on the island only makes an extra two or three dollars per household.

Just these two or three dollars have made Haisan Island the richest island nearby.

After a few hours, all four or five hundred kilograms of sea cucumbers were processed.

Shi Xia thanked the aunts and invited them to have a drink of water.

"No more drinking. The village chief has already calculated our work points."

"That's right, I'm going home, and those couples are still waiting for dinner."

"Of course! If we don't go back, we'll all have to endure hunger."

A few people left and Shi Xia saw them out the door.

Uncle Wen and Wen Cheng'an also went back. Today, in addition to sea cucumbers, they also caught a dozen large scallops, which they took home and steamed to eat to satisfy their hunger.

Shi Xia would never treat himself badly.

She left four sea cucumbers, cleaned them, and steamed them, along with six scallops about the size of her face.

"quack--"

The big white goose strolled into the house and kicked a piece of firewood with one foot, causing the firewood to drill into the stove pit.

"Oh, my Baymax can help me light the fire? Great, keep it up."

Shi Xia casually threw the vegetable roots to the big white goose, and the big white goose stretched out its neck and caught it steadily.

After catching it, it tilted its head back as if seeking praise.

Shi Xia shook his head and laughed, and touched the big white goose's head with his slightly dirty hands, and the supernatural power flowed through his palms.

The big white goose showed an addicted and comfortable expression, rubbed Shi Xia's legs with its neck, and left.

Shi Xia continued to cook.

She cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge on a small stove and made some scrambled eggs with spinach. The eggs were freshly laid by Xiaohua today.

Crack the egg and it falls into the pot with a sizzling sound. Use a spatula to scoop it up a few times and chop it into pieces.

"Ku-ka-da!"

The little chicken also entered the kitchen and laid an egg in front of Shi Xia to prove its usefulness.

Shi Xia squatted down and picked up the hot egg.

"That's amazing! I can lay two eggs in one day!"

"Not bad!"

Shi Xia touched Xiaohua's head again, and Xiaohua chicken closed her eyes comfortably.

After the little chicken went out, Shi Xia also had her meal.

A pot of porridge, a basin of seafood, and a dish.

Shi Xia changed out of her wet clothes, tied up her loose hair with a cloth ribbon, put a small table in the yard, and started eating.

Steaming seafood is the best way to preserve its original sweetness.

If you have a light taste, eat it directly. If you have a strong taste, dip it in soy sauce or chili oil.

Shi Xia blew on the big scallop meat twice and ate one in a mouthful. It was plump but not greasy, and very satisfying.

The steamed sea cucumber is crispy and a bit chewy, but not difficult to chew.

Sea cucumber itself has no taste, it will taste like whatever you make it taste like.

Xia was satisfied with the meal, but it would have been better if there was a little more oil.

While Shi Xia was thinking about how to get the oil and water, his sensitive ears moved and he realized that there was some noise outside.

She stood up, and the big white goose and the little chicken followed her on both sides as they walked to the door together.

It just so happened that Aunt Zhang from next door also came out.

"Aunt, what's wrong?"

Aunt Zhang looked worriedly at the sea and said, "The fishing team hasn't returned yet."

After hearing this, Shi Xia also looked towards the sea.

The fishing team never goes far and always returns before dark.

Even fishermen are the same. They don’t have good equipment and can’t go far.

The last time, Shi Xia’s father did not return home overnight, and when he was found, there was nothing left except the fishing boat.

Half a month later, someone found the body of Shi Xia's father at sea.

Shi Xia withdrew his gaze.

"Aunt, go call Wen Cheng'an and tell him I want him to go with me. I'm going back to change my clothes."

Shi Xia turned and entered the yard, flapping his big white goose wings and closing the door nimbly.

Aunt Zhang was stunned, but she still went to call Wen Chengan first.

When Wen Cheng'an heard Shi Xia shouting, he had to get up even if he didn't want to, otherwise she would beat him to death at night.

When Shi Xia came out, Wen Cheng'an was already standing outside.

"go!"

Shi Xia didn't say a word. Wen Cheng'an followed and said without much feeling, "You still have such a warm heart?"

"Just realized it? I taught you too."

Wen Cheng'an was speechless.

"Do you really have to bury me?"

Shi Xia curled her lips and said, "It's mainly because you have a place to be humiliated."

Wen Chengan rolled his eyes: Is it still his fault?

After Shi Xia sarcastically scolded Wen Cheng'an, he continued:
"When the nest is overturned, all the eggs are broken. It is important to live your own life well, but that doesn't mean completely ignoring others."

Her goal is to turn the entire island into a perfect secluded fortress.

It's boring to quarrel with this person and fight with that person in the village every day.

Therefore, the base camp must be stable.

As Shi Xia was talking, he walked to the beach at a fast pace.

Uncle Cao is selecting people to go out to sea, so he has to look for them.

Shi Xia took a step forward.

"Uncle Cao, count me in, and Wen Chengan will go too!"
