Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "You say!"

Sun Nuannuan said mysteriously, "Sister Meilan, Sister Xiaoyu, don't sell the barnacles this morning, lest someone sees us selling barnacles. Many people will follow us in the afternoon. Then we won't be able to dig up so many barnacles."

Tang Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, Nuannuan is a smart kid, this is a good idea."

Liu Meilan looked at everyone's harvest and was a little embarrassed. "I agree with your idea, but... but there are so many people on the beach. If we pass by the pier, we will definitely be seen by others."

"Those uncles, aunts, and aunties are not fools. It's common for them to ask each other what they found. I think it's a bit difficult for us to eat alone."

Tang Xiaoyu and Sun Nuannuan looked disappointed, "It seems that this secret base can no longer be saved!"

Wang Liwen smiled when she heard this and said, "Come with me. I know a small path that can bypass the pier."

"Is it safe?" Liu Meilan was surprised. She didn't know.

Tang Xiaoyu didn't know either, "Auntie Wang, where is it?"

Wang Liwen replied: "Just go around the mangrove forest."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan's eyes widened, "Yes, then let's go from there quickly!"

So, under the leadership of Wang Liwen, they went around the mangroves.

There aren't many people here!

Because the tide has not reached this place, no one comes here to catch seafood.

Usually people come here to catch crabs, eels and the like, so there aren't many good things here.

If there were better harvests from catching seafood, I wouldn't look down on this place.

Liu Meilan's eyes are as sharp as a fire eye, and she has invented many good things.

However, they were hiding in a hidden place, and she no longer had enough containers to hold them, so she let them go for the time being.

However, little Sun Nuannuan's attention is often attracted by some small fish and shrimps.

"Mom, there's a little crab over there!"

"Sister Meilan, there's a lobster over there!"

……

Wang Liwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Little Sun Nuannuan, don't be so ignorant! We live on the island, you will see it often."

"It's already past twelve o'clock. Your grandma should have prepared dinner for us. Aren't you hungry now?"

It would have been fine if she hadn’t reminded him, but as soon as she reminded him, Sun Nuannuan’s stomach started growling.

"Okay, come again later!"

Just as Sun Nuannuan was about to chatter, Liu Meilan quickly whispered, "Squat down!"

Tang Xiaoyu knew Liu Meilan best, so he quickly squatted down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let's talk about it later!" Liu Meilan lowered her voice and quickly looked at Nuannuan, Sun Nuannuan and Wang Liwen.

Soon they also squatted down, with serious expressions but excited eyes.

"You three hide here and don't move! I'll go out and take a look!" Liu Meilan said, crouching down and tapping the ground with her toes, making almost no sound.

She was like a cheetah, and disappeared from their sight in a few dodgy moves.

Sun Nuannuan wanted to peek, but was held down by Wang Liwen and Tang Xiaoyu.

Tang Xiaoyu also covered Sun Nuannuan's mouth with a serious expression, "Be obedient!"

Sun Nuannuan immediately didn't dare to move, her eyes were wide open, and her mind was full of random thoughts as if a movie was playing.

Wang Liwen is an adult and an excellent teacher.

After calming down, I had a rough guess.

Tang Xiaoyu trusts Liu Meilan very much and believes in Liu Meilai's intuition.

It was like her talent was in tasting delicious food and finding it by just smelling it.

Liu Meilan quickly passed through several dozen meters of mangroves, stopped, and hid quietly.

In fact, she couldn't see the two people, but her vision could see their reflections on the water surface through the water.

Among them is Xu Ran!

Although he was disguised and looked like he was fishing at the sea, experienced fishermen could see that Xu Ran's movements were awkward.

The other person was wearing sunglasses and a hat, and also looked like he was going to the beach, but it was obvious that his movements were very familiar.

It should be because he has stayed at the seaside for a long time and is more familiar with sea fishing.

Xu Ran saw that the other party was digging non-stop by the stream, "There is no one here, is it necessary to do this?"

The man lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Be careful and you will be safe. I advise you to be careful and don't be arrogant. If you do this again, I will ask the higher-ups to replace you!"

Xu Ran's expression changed slightly when he heard this. "Let's get back to the point. This is what the higher-ups gave you!"

The middle-aged man took it and put it directly into his pocket without even looking at it.

Just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly choked by the cigarette, coughed a few times, and spat out several mouthfuls of phlegm.

Some of it spit into the water, and some onto the mud beside the stream.

The man was very cautious and dug some soil to cover the thick phlegm.

The cigarette butts were extinguished and put into the pocket.

"Don't contact me if it's not urgent! If there is something, I will contact you!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned and left.

Xu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered in his heart, they are all spies and traitors, yet they pretend to be so noble!

However, he did not expect that this was his first mission and that he would have to deal with them again in the future, so Xu Ran suppressed his disdain.

After looking around, I saw that there was no one there, so I left with the bucket and the sand shovel.

Liu Meilan waited until Xu Ran and the middle-aged man left, then quietly came to where the two were.

The footprints on the ground were indeed from two people. Judging from their sizes, one should be size 43 and the other should be size 41.

The patterns are common in ordinary plastic waterproof rubber shoes and there is nothing special about them.

Liu Meilan took out a plastic bag from her pocket and collected all the spit from the middle-aged man, including the mud and spit, into the plastic bag.

After doing all this, Liu Meilan hurried back.

Sun Nuannuan saw Liu Meilan coming back and asked hurriedly, "Sister Meilan, what happened?"

Liu Meilan patted her head and said, "Don't ask questions, kid! Let's go home quickly!"

Sun Nuannuan wanted to ask more, but Wang Liwen glared at her, "Sister Meilan doesn't say anything, which proves that it's not suitable for you to know."

Sun Nuannuan is a smart child, "Oh, I understand."

Tang Xiaoyu was suspicious and she really wanted to know.

"Then let's go back quickly." Tang Xiaoyu urged, "Auntie Wang, please show me the way."

Wang Liwen nodded, "Okay, follow me. When I was a kid, I often walked here with my friends when we went to the beach..."

Listening to her mother talking about her childhood, Sun Nuannuan quickly forgot about the "little incident" just now.

After leaving the mangroves, we walked for another ten minutes and arrived at the street.

Tang Xiaoyu was curious and followed Liu Meilan home.

"Meilan, what did you see?"

Liu Meilan lowered her voice and said, "I saw Xu Ran and his contact!"

"Hiss!" Tang Xiaoyu took a breath of cold air, his expression changed drastically, "Who is it?"

"Yes..." Liu Meilan was about to say, but was stopped by Tang Xiaoyu.

"Meilan, don't tell me. I don't want to know." Tang Xiaoyu shook his head. "The more I know, the more I get involved, and the more dangerous it will be."

Liu Meilan thought about it and nodded, "Xiaoyu, what you said is indeed not something we can participate in. But I found some evidence..."

Chief of Staff Liu learned that his wife was coming today, so he took time out to come here and stay for an hour.

"You two are whispering at the door, why don't you go in?"

Liu Meilan turned around and saw her father, "Dad, come in quickly."

Seeing this, Tang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "Meilan, I'll take this bucket of gooseneck barnacles away as a gift to my father."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan grabbed Tang Xiaoyu and said, "I have more here. I'll give you some more."

Tang Xiaoyu waved his hand, "I still have to go dig in the afternoon, you don't have to share with me."

Tang Xiaoyu picked up the bucket, turned around and trotted away.

Chief of Staff Liu was suspicious, "It's already dinner time, why did Xiaoyu leave?"

When Liu Meilan heard this, she dragged her father inside and recounted what had just happened, "…the sputum is in this plastic bag, and we should be able to separate the substances for DNA testing."

Hearing this, Chief of Staff Liu was shocked, "This... this is too much of a coincidence?"

Liu Meilan shook her head. "It's not a coincidence. It's God's will. If I hadn't gone to the beach today, I wouldn't have been able to pass by the path over the mangroves. If I hadn't gone over there, I wouldn't have seen these."

Chief of Staff Liu nodded and chuckled, "You're right, everything is destined. Meilan, call and ask Fu Chen to come over."

"Ah?" Liu Meilan was stunned. "Dad, don't you know about this? Don't you need to hand it over to your own people?"

Chief of Staff Liu smiled and said, "Of course I will investigate, but this is an open line to attract 'firepower'. The other hidden line is Fu Chen. I can confirm that he is fine."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll make the call right away."

Seeing his daughter just washing her hands and then happily running into the house to make a phone call, Chief of Staff Liu couldn't help but sigh, "My daughter is growing up."

Fu Chen received the call and was quite curious, "Meilan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I want to treat you to a meal, please come quickly." Liu Meilan said in a clear voice, "I went fishing today and found some good stuff, I want to share it with you."

Liu Meilan's enthusiasm made Fu Chen happy.

Fu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

In order to get there as quickly as possible, a jeep was specially driven.

Professor Xie poked her head out of the kitchen and saw her husband and daughter whispering to each other. "Let's talk later. Meilan, change your clothes. We'll have dinner soon."

"Got it, Mom." Liu Meilan agreed, "Dad, look at how many barnacles I dug up, you should clean them quickly. They are only delicious when they are fresh."

Chief of Staff Liu was stunned. To be honest, he hadn't cooked for a long time, let alone such dirty and tiring work as cleaning barnacles.

"Okay!" But now that his daughter is taking care of things, he works quickly and feels very happy!

Seeing this, Zhang Jian hurried over and said, "Leader, I'm here!"

Chief of Staff Liu smiled and said, "No, I can do it!"

Zhang Jian listened but did not touch anything. He just helped to clean the barnacles.

Half a bag, more than 30 pounds, but the shell is very heavy.

"Leader, there's so much. Can we finish it?" Zhang Jian asked.

Chief of Staff Liu smiled and said, "Make them all. I'll bring some back later."

Just as I finished speaking, I heard someone knocking on the door.

Zhang Jian quickly opened the door and exclaimed in surprise, "Boss Zhou, why are you here?"

Liu Meilan changed her clothes and came out of the house. "Boss Zhou, did you know that I dug up the gooseneck barnacle?"

Zhou Xingwang nodded repeatedly, his chubby face smiling like a flower, "Yes, Meilan. I just saw the fish and wanted to buy it from her. She refused to sell it and said she was honoring her father."

"I chased her to buy some, and finally she told me, you have a lot here. I know you have good luck. Can you give me some? I don't want much, just give me ten kilograms. I have an important client, so I have to get some good things to entertain him."

Seeing that Zhou Xingwang had come to her door, Liu Meilan couldn't refuse. "Okay, wait a moment. Dad, don't wash the rest. Sell them all to Boss Zhou."

Chief of Staff Liu smiled and said, "Okay, I have already washed more than ten kilograms, enough for us to eat, and the rest will be sold."

Zhou Xingwang saw that there were still nearly 20 kilograms left, and his eyes lit up, "Meilan, I'll give you the money right away."

"There should be 20 kilograms here, and there will be more in the afternoon. We'll settle the bill then." Liu Meilan said with a smile. Even if it is good food, you can't eat too much.

Zhou Xingwang was very happy that Liu Meilan trusted him so much, "Thank you Meilan for your trust!"

After greeting Chief of Staff Liu and Old Man Liu, Zhou Xingwang hurriedly picked up the bag of gooseneck barnacles, put it on the motorcycle, and returned to the hotel.

"Grandpa, how are we going to eat these barnacles?" Liu Meilan asked.

Grandpa Liu smiled and said, "After washing these Guanyin hands (gooseneck barnacles), put them into a pot with green onions and ginger, and cook them for a few minutes after boiling. This way of eating can keep the original flavor of the gooseneck barnacles, and the meat is tender and sweet."

Professor Xie came over and said, "Dad, I want to eat something spicy."

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Then make something spicy! I'll make it myself!"

Fu Chen was in a good mood as he arrived just as all the food had been served on the table.

Seeing Professor Xie and Chief of Staff Liu, Fu Chen returned to his usual calm and serious demeanor.

"Grandpa Liu, Professor Xie, hello, Chief of Staff."

Professor Xie was all smiles and greeted him warmly, "Fu Chen, you came at the right time. Today, Meilan brought some good food from the sea, and it tastes very good."

"Thank you!" Fu Chen washed his hands and took a seat.

Steamed grouper, braised grey pomfret, home-fried lobster, and of course, shredded pork with green peppers.

Today’s soup is relatively simple, vegetable and tofu soup.

The most eye-catching ones are the two dishes made with barnacles.

Blanched barnacles and spicy barnacles.

The meal was so delicious that everyone ate in silence.

I didn't have time to talk, I just thought about eating.

Only after we were half full and our cravings had passed did we start chatting.

"Meilan, it's amazing that we can dig up such good barnacles by going to the beach. It must be quite far from the pier, right?" Grandpa Liu often hangs out at the beach and knows this place very well.

Liu Meilan nodded. "We walked for more than an hour and found a reef. It can only be seen when the tide is low. Throughout the year, it is estimated that it will only be exposed today or tomorrow."

"No wonder!" Old Man Liu nodded. The size of these barnacles was enough to prove that few people visited here.

Otherwise, you won’t grow up at all!

Professor Xie's eyes lit up. "I'm free this afternoon. Meilan, can I go with you?"

She went to the beach in the morning, but didn't catch up with Liu Meilan, so she could only follow the crowd. She dug a dozen clams at the beach, which were still thin and small, and threw them into the sea.

"Okay!" Liu Meilan said with a smile, "There are a lot of them over there. Let's dig up the big ones and save the small ones. We can dig them up again at this time next year!"

After dinner, Liu Meilan stood at the door of the utility room and beckoned Fu Chen to come over.
