Chapter 78 Chapter 78
After the tide went out, the beach was constantly crawling with densely packed small crabs, which could be grabbed in handfuls with one's small hands.
An idea kept coming to my mind: crab sauce, grilled crab, fried crab…
Suck it~
After taking a look at Li Xian who was diving and spearing fish, Mi Li decided to do it herself and have enough food and clothing.
"Boss, I'm going to go back and get a backpack. You go ahead and do your work!" Mi Li shouted loudly to Li Xian, waved his hand, and walked back happily.
Li Xian was concentrating on forking the fish! The slippery fish kept swimming past his feet as if to provoke him. It was not simple at all, but it was very interesting. Mi Li shouted but he didn't hear it. The look in his eyes seemed to be glued to the fish and he couldn't pull it off.
Mi Li ran back happily. She remembered that the backpack had a lid, and Sister Wu Yu was very skillful. She only did it once, and Sister Wu Yu did it better than her.
The cabin is not far from the beach, and it only takes about ten minutes to go back and forth, based on Mi Li's current walking speed.
The little crabs under my feet were still crawling. I grabbed a handful of rice grains and put them in, then grabbed another handful and continued putting them in.
The little crab's claws can scratch people, but Mi Li is quick, and his little hands are as fast and amazing as if they were professionally trained.
"Hahahaha! Actually it's not that difficult!" After continuous practice, Li Xian finally got the hang of it.
The palm-sized sea fish in his hand was still flapping its wings, as if it was making its last struggle before death. Li Xian raised the stick and showed it towards Mi Li.
It seems that he has acquired an incredible skill. It turns out that in addition to the Fish People who can catch fish, they can also do it. Have the cubs now become so curly?
He still remembered that when he was a cub, he just ate and drank every day and was spoiled by his elders. Hey! Decades have passed. Is it because he can't keep up with the pace of the Star or has the Star abandoned him? Li Xian thought to himself.
"Boss is so awesome! He caught the fish so quickly! We're in for a treat tonight!" Mi Li shouted loudly in the direction of Li Xian.
No matter what we do, encouragement is needed, adults and children are no exception. Look now, isn’t this the time when encouragement is needed the most!
"Boss is really awesome, boss is mighty, boss is domineering..."
Li Xian was almost lost in the shouting of Zaizai, and he wanted to spear all the fish in the whole sea.
Mi Li was a little tired of shouting, and she breathed a sigh of relief. The lid of the small backpack was almost opened by the cunning little crab, and she quickly closed it with her little hands. This was going to be another delicious dish for tonight!
Li Xian threw the small fish he caught with the fork onto the shore and continued working hard with undiminished enthusiasm.
The little crab ran very fast following the sea water. Mi Li looked at the receding figure with some regret, just like a woman seeing her husband off.
If I had carried the small basket myself, I wouldn’t have to go back again. So many little crabs would have been lost!
Half a basket of small crabs: ...
He shook his head. There were other things on the beach. It didn't seem so bad. Look, what was that thing struggling to sink? It was a conch! It was still alive!
Mi Li quickly shook off the regret he had just felt and devoted himself once again to the task of picking up bargains.
The moonlight slowly rose up, and Mi Li, barefoot, and Li Xian, holding a string of small fish on a stick, hurried back happily. This time everyone returned with a full load.
Li Xian still felt a little unsatisfied. If Zizi hadn't called him, he would have spent the whole night immersed in the joy of spearing fish, which was even happier than swimming in the sea.
"Boss, look what I picked up!" Mi Li excitedly shared her trophy with Li Xian. The backpack was full of stuff, and if you looked closely under the moonlight, you could see some claws that could move.
"What are these? Cubs!"
It’s not Li Xian’s fault for being ignorant. He has never eaten it before and never paid attention to it. What’s more, Paopao has never caught such a thing before, so it looks a little scary at first glance.
"Small crabs, conchs, sea cucumbers, clams..." Mi Li counted her spoils to Li Xian one by one.
If the small backpack wasn't full, she could have picked up more. This is truly a treasure sea!
"Wow! You are so awesome, you picked up so many things. You are awesome, the best in the universe!" Although Li Xian didn't understand much, he nodded, and shook the fish on his stick in front of Mi Li intentionally or unintentionally.
Look! He also caught a bunch of fish.
Mi Li seemed to understand what he meant and immediately started to flatter her.
"The boss is so agile! He caught so many fish at once. Even the fish people can't compare to him. If the boss says he is number one, no one dares to say he is second. The boss is super powerful..."
The two of them, one big and one small, were singing praises in the gentle sea breeze, and their voices spread across the entire beach. Even the stranded conch couldn't help but retract its shell. I've never heard such shameless words from people!
Li Xian brought Mi Li back to the cabin, and he was so excited that he wanted to fight another three hundred rounds.
When Wu Yu saw the two, one big and one small, with such happy expressions on their faces, he almost regretted not going with them!
Li Xian handed the fish in his hand to Wu Yu. Wu Yu had been handling these tasks for the past two days. Wu Yu was very familiar with the work after Zizi taught him.
Mi Li quickly squatted down and counted her spoils!
The coconut trees by the sea are very juicy. Wu Yu flew up and picked a large bunch of them. So he used coconut shells as containers to cook things these two days.
Mi Li put the clams, conchs, etc. that still contained sand into coconut shells, added some fresh water, and let them spit out the sand. The next day they would become a delicious dish again.
I took out some wild ginger, bay leaves and other seasonings from the cabin, planning to make a dish of fish wrapped in leaves. I could also squeeze the juice from the sour and sweet fruit into it to make it delicious.
Soon, Wu Yu processed the fish that Li Xian had brought back from the fresh water.
Li Xian was not idle either. Mi Li asked him to pick some banana leaves.
Knowing that the two people's sense of smell has deteriorated and they like to eat spicy food, Mi Li was not idle either. He picked out some spicier peppers and put them in.
Mi Li couldn't handle it all by herself, so she asked Wu Yu to help.
All she had to do was prepare the seasonings and demonstrate it to Wu Yu, and Wu Yu did the rest.
"Sister Wu Yu, yes, yes, just wrap it up like that. Boss, make the fire bigger and we'll bury the leaves directly in it later!" Although Mi Li didn't do anything, she kept chattering.
Wu Yu and Li Xian completely trust Zaizai's cooking skills. After feeding him for a few days, they have long been convinced of Zaizai's culinary talent! As expected, Zaizai is an introvert.
I was in a hurry, but I finally completed the task that Mi Li asked me to do.
After burying the pickled fish wrapped in banana leaves and soil in the fire, Mi Li began to arrange for Li Xian and Wu Yu to prepare some delicious dishes.
