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

Chapter 32 Then try it
Shi Xia responded crisply with "OK".

Aunt Zhang burst into laughter when she heard this. It would be better if you didn't say so.

The three of them entered the house, and Aunt Zhang took a washbasin and got some hot water for Shi Xia.

"Shixia, use this to wash. Hot water is better for girls."

Wen Cheng'an, who was washing with cold water, lowered his eyebrows and chuckled, then continued washing.

"Remember?"

Wen Laoshi, who was walking over, raised his chin, looked towards Shi Xia, and glared at Wen Chengan.

"Remember that girls use more hot water. They are already someone's girlfriend, and they don't understand anything every day."

After Wen Laoshi’s sarcastic lecture, he went into the house holding the wood.

Wen Cheng'an's lips moved slightly, and the three silent words "remember" were blown away by the wind.

After the hand-washing incident, the four of them went into the house and prepared to eat.

Shi Xia stood beside Wen Cheng'an, kicked him with his left foot, and whispered, "Go and help."

Wen Chengan murmured softly, "My status is not even as high as the mice at home."

Despite all the complaints, Wen Chengan honestly helped serve the dishes, set the table, and get the bowls and chopsticks.

When Aunt Zhang saw Wen Cheng'an helping her, her eyes suddenly became wet.

But thinking about what Shi Xia told her, Aunt Zhang immediately smiled and said, "My Cheng'an is really capable!"

"This table is much neater than your dad's."

Wen Cheng'an didn't slow down at all when picking up the dishes and chopsticks. He was used to hearing such "childish" compliments.

Wen Laoshi looked at Wen Cheng'an who had saved his life: This kid learns very quickly, there is still hope.

Soon, the four people sat down.

A steamed opium fish, a bowl of stewed mixed fish, plus a large bowl of kelp and potatoes, the staple food is still taro.

"Eat, eat more."

Aunt Zhang picked up some fish for Shi Xia with her first chopsticks.

The opium fish is in the form of flat flakes, with white flesh that is thin and strip-shaped, with few bones and tender meat.

"Aunt, I'll eat by myself."

"Good good!"

Aunt Zhang didn't pick up any more food, and everyone ate their own food.

Shi Xia was really hungry, so she took a bite of the taro and ate some kelp.

The stewed mixed fish was cooked to perfection, and the bones inside were all softened. Shi Xia ate so much that he didn't even spit out the bones, and the fish meat melted in his mouth as soon as he took a sip.

It tastes quite good with the unique flavor of the sauce.

Everyone was very hungry, so the meal was finished quietly and quickly.

After eating, Shi Xia didn't leave in a hurry, and everyone chatted.

Shi Xia talked about how he rescued someone in the sea today, and also talked about how much the fishing boat was sold for today.

Aunt Zhang and Wen Laoshi were listening intently, and they even said to Wen Chengan, who was doing 300 push-ups, "Keep your breathing down."

Wen Cheng'an: I'm really getting more and more used to this redundant feeling.

Although she was "disliked", the feeling was very different from being disliked in the Chen family.

Shi Xia glanced at Wen Chengan, then simply stood up and said, "I'll go back first. I have something to do tomorrow."

Aunt Zhang also knew that it was getting late, so she didn't stay long and sent Shi Xia to the door.

Shi Xia opened the door, and Dabai and Xiaohua stood on his left and right. After noticing Shi Xia, they came over affectionately.

"Did you miss me?"

"Quack, quack, quack——"

"Giggle-"

Dabai and Xiaohua shouted one after another.

Dabai turned around with his fat butt and bumped into Xiaohua, squeezing Xiaohua out a little bit. Then Dabai stretched his neck and faced Shixia.

It seems to be saying: Look at me, look at me!

Before Shi Xia could react, she heard the angry cries of a hen in the night and a gust of wind blew over.

The next second, Xiaohua fluttered its wings and landed on Dabai's body, and its height suddenly increased.

“Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle——”

The rapid crowing of the roosters made Shi Xia feel helpless and happy. She liked interacting with these small animals, it was relaxing.

"Okay, you two are not allowed to fight anymore."

While talking, Shi Xia touched this and that. Dabai and Xiaohua, comforted by their special powers, ended their internal fight.

Shi Xia walked into the house and lit the kerosene lamp.

She sniffed the unpleasant smell of the kerosene lamp and said, "It would be better if there was electricity."

"If you want electricity, you need money, and if you have money, you need to find ways to get it."

Always relying on fishing and selling fish is not a sustainable solution.

Therefore, we still need to develop side businesses, side businesses that the whole village can work on together.

If you want a group to be united, the best way is to have common interests.

Shi Xia wanted to live a good life, but she was the only one in the village who lived a good life, which attracted too much attention.

Plus, no one knows what will happen in the next ten years, so it is very important that the whole village stands on her side.

Shi Xia walked out of the house with thoughts in his mind, looked at the sea cucumbers that were almost dried, and made up his mind to go find the village chief Uncle Cao tomorrow morning.

After making up his mind, Shi Xia turned back to the house, boiled some hot water and took a shower.

After washing away all his fatigue, Shi Xia went to bed comfortably, and his supernatural powers slowly started to work.

The next morning, the hen Xiaohua took over the rooster's job and insisted on crowing.

The result was that Aunt Zhang rushed over with a kitchen knife.

"Where's the weasel? Damn it, it's here to steal chickens again!"

Xiaohua, who was halfway through crowing, fell silent, and Shixia burst into laughter.

After Aunt Zhang knew the truth, she looked at Xiaohua with a strange expression, especially at her lower body.

Shi Xia comforted Xiaohua, released the big white goose and four ducklings to find food, and then went to Uncle Cao's house with the dried sea cucumbers.

On the way from her home to Uncle Cao's home, Shi Xia felt the islanders' fiery enthusiasm.

Every household knew that Shi Xia had challenged the killer whale last night and tripled everyone's catch.

Shi Xia walked all the way with a smile on her face and finally arrived at Uncle Cao's house.

When Uncle Cao's little grandson saw Shi Xia, he ran back with his bare bottom.

"The killer whale king is here!"

"Shi Xia is here, come in quickly!"

Uncle Cao's eldest daughter-in-law greeted Shi Xia, and Shi Xia greeted her and went into the house.

Shi Xia was always straightforward and didn't like beating around the bush. He looked at Uncle Cao in the room and said, "Uncle Cao, I have something to talk to you about."

"Oh—come, let's talk in this room."

The two entered the inner room, and Shi Xia put down the dried sea cucumbers and spread them out.

"Uncle Cao, what do you think about selling not only fresh fish but also dried fish?"

Uncle Cao didn't catch up with his train of thought for a moment and said, "Dried food isn't as delicious as fresh food."

"Uncle Cao, it's not a question of whether it tastes good or not, but a question of how long it will last."

"You know, fishing depends on the weather. Going out six or seven times a month is too much. Besides, it depends on luck, and diesel is expensive."

"But sun-drying is different. Oysters, clams, razor clams, and kelp that are caught at the sea can all be dried."

"After drying, it can be stored for a long time, and it is convenient for the supply and marketing cooperatives to sell it to the outside world. This is a project that can make money all year round."

Uncle Cao understood and was tempted, but nothing is so easy when it comes to action.

"Shi Xia, what you said is very good, but we don't have that much coarse salt."

"Uncle Cao, we don't have any on Haisan Island, but as far as I know, Haiyi Island has a long coastline and was used to dry salt in the past."

Uncle Cao said pessimistically, "But they don't dry it anymore."

Shi Xia curled her lips and smiled.

"They don't put it on display because they can't sell it. If we buy it, will they just watch the money slip away?"

"Uncle Cao, I don't know if this will work or not, but if you don't try, you'll never know."

Uncle Cao looked at "Three Incense Sticks" Shi Xia, gritted his teeth and slapped his legs.

"You're right, let's try it!
