Chapter 642: Not in vain, not in vain
"Oh? What do you think, uncle?"

Chen Hui asked curiously.

We have gone out to sea together so many times, and the few times Wu Shuisheng went into the water, it was I who asked him to help.

"I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway, and it's not as fun to hang out with them as it is to go into the sea."

"I just went down for a bit. The waves today are very stable, so we can go down." Wu Shuisheng said.

"So is it better to go out to sea with stable waves or larger waves?"

Chen Huihong asked suddenly while eating seafood porridge.

"It's definitely better for people to have calm seas, so they can stay on the fishing boat without rocking."

"The difference in setting the fishing net won't be too big, but for the hooks, if the waves are too big it will still affect the harvest," said Wu Shuisheng.

"Is that so? Then we are really lucky."

"It's fun to go out to sea. The sea outside looks very different from the sea in the village."

Chen Huihong said this with a smile, then lowered her head to finish the porridge in the bowl.

Seeing that there was still some food left in the pot, I assigned tasks to everyone.

He took the big pot to the coast, cleaned it, and added the mountain spring water he brought with him into the pot and started boiling it.

It is not suitable to go into the water just after eating.

Wu Shuisheng held the remaining half of the long iron pliers and said to Chen Huihong, "Want to go for a stroll on the island?"

"Is this island still accessible?"

"Are there any wild animals in there? Or poisonous snakes or something?"

Chen Huihong wanted to go, but was a little scared.

Chen Hui concentrated and felt it.

There were only rats on the island, and not many of them.

Pointing at the fire, he said, "There won't be any wild animals on this island, so I'll just collect some branches to burn."

"If there's a snake, we'll use this to kill it!"

Wu Shuisheng picked up the half pair of pliers in his hand and shook it.

He waved and shouted, "Let's go, let's just walk along the coast. There's not much firewood left, and we need to cook lunch later."

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

First time out to play.

Both the island and the sea are new to Chen Huihong.

Hearing Wu Shuisheng speak in a relaxed manner, he stood up and patted the tree trunks and gravel on his butt.

Chen Hui held the scissors and the bucket.

I saw An Wenyi digging a sand pit with a branch.

He rubbed her little head and said, "Little brat, would you like to go with your brother-in-law to get you some good things?"

"Go!"

"Good stuff! Here I come!"

An Wenyi immediately dropped the branch in his hand.

"Brother Chen Hui, wait for me, I'll go with you."

As An Wenjing spoke, she broke off a few dry branches and threw them into the fire.

The water in the pot has almost boiled, and these branches plus the residual heat are enough to boil the water.

"Just sit down and take a rest, I'll take her there." Chen Hui said.

"I'm afraid you'll be strolling along the beach and suddenly get excited and want to go into the water."

"This is an island, it's different from the beach in the village." An Wenjing said with a smile.

Chen Hui often went fishing with An Wenjing, and suddenly he sensed something and went into the sea.

He couldn't refute this.

He smiled and said, "Wenyi is different from you. Even if I want to go down, I will send her back first."

"I just want to go with you. I won't lose anything."

An Wenjing said this and took Chen Hui's hand with a smile.

The three of them reached the large reef on the other side together.

Chen Hui found a reef covered with oysters.

Use scissors to pry off the oyster shell, and a large piece of white oyster meat appears before your eyes.

"Wow! It's so big!!"

After years of digging for oysters on the reefs of Chenjia Village, it is now considered a great fortune if one can dig up one the size of a thumb.

It was the first time that An Wenyi saw one so big, and she clapped her hands with joy.

"This is really big! And it's whiter than the ones dug in the village." An Wenjing also came over to take a look.

"See, I told you there was something good!"

Chen Hui said this, holding up the scissors. It took some effort to pry the oyster meat and the other half of the shell off the reef.

"If I had known about the Shanghai Island, I would have brought a tool specifically for digging oysters."

"This big pair of scissors can be used, but it takes much more effort."

Although he complained, Chen Hui dug out another large oyster with its shell still in it.

This time, I didn't even open the lid.

"Brother Chen Hui, can't we just dig out the meat and eat it? It's too much trouble." An Wenjing didn't understand.

"Wife, have you ever tried grilled oysters with garlic?" Chen Hui asked with a smile.

An Wenjing shook her head.

"It's delicious. It should be baked in the shell."

"We'll find a big one and pry it back. I'll make some for you to eat."

"I see there are a lot of them here. Let's take some back and make a dish." Chen Hui said with a smile.

An Wenyi heard it and immediately shouted, "Brother-in-law, I want to eat too!"

"How can we not have you for food? If we don't have you, everyone in the village will cry."

Chen Hui joked with her and continued to dig oysters.

There is only one pair of scissors.

The two sisters An Wenjing had no tools, so they worked together to pick snails and catch small crabs.

After touching for a while, An Wenjing suddenly called her sister and walked into the woods together.

"Sister, where are we going?" An Wenyi was puzzled.

An Wenjing was carefully selecting at the shore.

Pick up one stone after another and look at it.

"Sister, why are you looking for stones?" An Wenyi asked again.

"Pick up a stone and smash the oyster shells."

"Ah?! Stone?"

"When I was a kid, there were no extra tools at home, so my father taught me how to smash things with stones."

An Wenjing explained, and selected the one with a sharp corner on the front from among the stones that were not prickly due to being hit by the sea water.

He handed it to An Wenyi and said, "This is for you. I'll find another one."

"Okay!" An Wenyi took it happily.

An Wenjing quickly found another one that suited her.

The two sisters returned to the reef with the stones.

Chen Hui pried away the largest oysters and shifted his focus to other reefs.

The oysters left on the big reef just now are still very big compared to those on the beach in the village.

An Wenjing held the stone and demonstrated:

"Wenyi, look, just do this, stand it up a little bit and smash it down hard from the top."

There was a clang.

A piece of the oyster shell was broken off.

An Wenjing carefully broke open the other half of the oyster shell.

Use the pointed edge of the oyster shell to scrape the oyster meat from the other half of the shell.

"Wow! Sister is so awesome!"

"I'll do it! I'll do it! I can do it, too!"

An Wenyi rubbed his hands together and hit another oyster hard with a stone.

Not broken.

He was so angry that he gathered all his strength and hit it again with force.

He shouted in a melancholy and helpless tone: "Sister! This meat is rotten."

An Wenjing went over to take a look.

An Wenyi smashed the oyster shell open and got stuck into the oyster meat inside.

Because of the excessive force, the oyster meat was smashed open.

"Silly girl, you can't just smash it like this!"

"Didn't I teach you to tilt the stone a little and smash it down through this crack?"

An Wenjing said this and demonstrated it again.

This time An Wenyi looked at it very seriously.

After understanding it, he nodded and said confidently: "I got it! Watch me!"
