Lu Jingmo looked at the ice box that Han Ruochen had brought with her and put out the cigarette that he was smoking when he saw Tong Zhaodi coming with her. He smiled at Han Ruochen and her uncle before greeting Tong Zhaodi. "Yo, what is going on? Didn’t you come in the morning? Why are you here again? Don’t tell me that you missed me so much that you came to see me?"

When Tong Zhaodi heard his comment, she could not help but blush in embarrassment. She glared at Lu Jingmo, who winked at her. But he looked a bit childish because his face still had some traces of baby fat.

"There was a high tide today and some things washed over. We caught a few things and brought them here; it’s hot during the day, and I was afraid that these things won’t stay long at home. Are you okay with buying seafood right now?"

Lu Jingmo turned serious when he heard Han Ruochen talk about business. He glanced at the ice boxes and noticed the mud crabs, swimming crabs, blue crabs and blackhead fish with a spotted grouper. When he saw so many good things, his eyes lit up. "Ohohoho, it seemed like the high tide was quite lucky for you. Some of the vendors from your village came to the restaurant earlier in the morning, and they had nothing good. The best thing that they had was a box of eels."

When Second Uncle Han heard this, he looked away awkwardly. He had no idea what to say. Tonight, Han Ruochen really refreshed his three worldviews. When the three of them entered the mudflat, he was sure that they would not be able to get anything good. But then Han Ruochen asked them to dig through the mudflat and through the already dug holes, and lo and behold, they ended up getting such a big haul. He did not know what to think.

Should he think that the villagers were too unlucky or that he was too lucky that he was following Han Ruochen? Every spot that she pointed out ended up becoming a treasure spot.

"We were just lucky." Han Ruochen replied humbly. She was neither arrogant nor too humble, which made Lu Jingmo chuckle. No wonder his elder brother liked Han Ruochen. This woman was really too skilled.

He could not help but praise Han Ruochen. "I have to say, Han Ruochen, you are really amazing." She could get so many things just because she went to the shore.

"Someone came to see me in the morning and told me that it was getting harder and harder to catch anything at the beach. Even with a dozen or so cages, they cannot catch anything at sea. But you caught so many things by just digging in the mudflats."

Han Ruochen smiled and did not say anything. "It’s just because of luck."

"Then you really have very good luck.

He took Han Ruochen to the section where the dishes were weighed. It was dinner time, and the restaurant was busy. His older brother could not spare any time at the moment, so he could only leave the matter in the hands of Lu Jingmo, who was given the responsibility of weighing the seafood.

"One blackhead fish, two and a half catties, three hundred yuan."

"Two big blue crabs, four catties, three hundred and sixty yuan."

"Six swimming crabs, ten catties, one thousand eight hundred and eighty yuan."

"One spotted grouper, three catties, one thousand and four hundred and seventy yuan."

"The total is four thousand and ten yuan."

After he finished speaking, Lu Jingmo transferred the money right away to Han Ruochen’s account.

Han Ruochen calmly took the money and then asked her uncle to take away the ice boxes back to the truck.

[The host had sold seafood worth four thousand and ten yuan.]

[The points are being converted.]

[Total points: 38370]

[You can now consume thirty thousand points to exchange for a five-metre scanning range. Do you want to exchange?]

[Exchange successful. The host now has an extra six thousand scanning range.]

[Remaining points: eight thousand and three hundred seventy points.]

Han Ruochen calmly listened to the notification from the system.

"Zhaodi, have you eaten? It seems like you are feeling a bit hungry after coming so far to the county. Do you want to have dinner?"

Han Ruochen heard Lu Jingmo’s question and glanced at Tong Zhaodi. She had not noticed it before, but it seemed like Tong Zhaodi was slowly being moved by Lu Jingmo. Looking at how the woman was blushing and whispering while talking with Lu Jingmo, Han Ruochen did not want to act as a third wheel, but what was she going to do? If she left Tong Zhaodi alone, then how would she return to the village?

Just as she was wondering what to do, she heard her phone ring.

When she saw the familiar string of numbers, Han Ruochen felt her heart jump a little. When she realised that she had lost control of her rationality, Han Ruochen immediately calmed down and then picked up the call. "Hello, Brother Muchen?"

"Hmm, are you in the county?"

When Han Ruochen heard Zhai Muchen’s question, she turned around and looked around her. When she did not see him, she could not help but ask, "Yes. How do you know, Brother Muchen?"

"Just a little guess. I heard from someone that there was a high tide in your village today. I guessed you might have gone to the county." Zhai Muchen was aware of what was happening in the village, so he knew that Han Ruochen must have gone to the county. It was just a coincidence that he actually called her when she was in the county.

Han Ruochen also sensed that it must have been the case, so she nodded and asked, "Brother Muchen, I am indeed in the county. Tell me, is there anything that I can do for you?"
