After many days of effort, Liang Tian had raised the space’s points to two hundred thousand yuan, aning she needed only three hundred thousand more to upgrade. She had to continue working hard without cease.
And on the business side, over the month they’d been gone, she’d earned a total of 180,000 yuan. Thus, she reckoned earning twenty thousand yuan per month was feasible.
After all, the seaside weather wasn’t always suitable for going out, and even when it was, a full haul wasn’t guaranteed. Nevertheless, making three to four thousand yuan a day was a reasonable base.
She wouldn’t just overfish one spot since Earth is round, and so is its islands. That’s why she changed spots every day.
There were several small, uninhabited islands nearby, none of which she had visited due to the richness of her own island’s resources leaving her little ti to explore.
That day, with the weather looking good, she set up a barbecue stand in the grove by the sea, slaughtering the toothpick fish, sea bass, and sea eels she had brought back in her fish basket that morning; the sea fish had few bones, except for the dog eel, which had many.
After cleaning the three fish, she seasoned them in a basin to marinate for a bit. During that ti, she grilled clams, sea clams, scallops, and oysters on the fire, then mixed in so minced garlic and chili. Once they opened their "big mouths," she poured in the seasoning. Oh, the sll was absolutely heavenly!
After marinating, she laid foil on the grill and placed the fish on top, spreading her prepared barbecue sauce inside before wrapping them up to slow roast over a gentle fla. She’d flip it when one side was about done; these fish cooked rather quickly, and the fire could soon be put out.
Then, using chopsticks, she slowly peeled back the foil to reveal the golden-brown grilled fish inside. Wow, just looking at it was enough to make your mouth water.
Then ca Xiao Yu’s ti to enjoy herself, facing the sea breeze and savoring the ocean’s gifts, giving her taste buds the ultimate relaxation.
"Today the weather is so sunny, everywhere looks beautiful~~"
Xiao Yu happily humd a tune, waiting for things to cool slightly before donning disposable gloves and eating with a fork.
Three fish and a dozen shellfish were all devoured in half an hour, and she even managed a satisfied belch at the end.
Liang Tian’s disdainful voice erged from the space: "You sure can eat!"
"I work so hard every day, how can I not eat a lot? My strength has increased, and so has my appetite. Luckily, I stay active with physical work; otherwise, I’d surely gain weight."
After eating, she started packing up to take things back ho, then avoided sleeping directly (fearing weight gain) by going to the yard to weed. After weeding, she plucked a fresh cucumber, eating it as she walked; it was a newly ripened tender cucumber, exceptionally delicious and slightly sweet—her first cucumber crop on the island, no small feat!
It seed like she’d heard the chickens "cluck-cluck-clucking," suspecting they had laid eggs, and after half a day’s wait, she checked the chicken coop—wow, "one, two, three, four, five, six," she had picked up so many eggs by the afternoon in addition to the three or four from morning, fantastic.
These were pure hen eggs, valued at one yuan each in the space, which was quite humane.
After finishing all her tasks and refilling the chickens’ water, she felt a bit sleepy and climbed into bed for a nap.
When she woke up again, she saw that the weather had changed entirely outside. The sky was dark and heavy, it looked like another storm was on its way.
