Just You Wait
Tan Ming summarized. “Actually, there are some gains from just picking up the food in the shallow waters. However, everyone is gathered here now. I think we should avoid where everyone’s been!”
Jiang Huai nodded in agreement. Anyway, they had seen everyone’s tricks. He took the pot and lunch box, picked up two wide branches on the way, and the two of them walked to the beach at the side. contemporary romance
The two of them carried the pot and wanted to find seafood that had been washed to the beach. Tan Ming had specially observed Zhou Yan and his wife’s group just now. They were almost specialized in shellfish and cat’s-eye snails. Cat’s-eye snails had a lot of meat, but they were hidden in the sand and were not easy to find.
Jiang Huai was in charge of prying the sand with a wide branch and collecting crabs, while Tan Ming was looking for cat’s-eye snails. Perhaps because of the way the waves washed things up, the food here was not as much as the area that the production team had chosen for everyone, but fortunately, no one would fight with the two of them.
Tan Ming’s eyesight was not bad. It did not take her long to see the white flesh of the cat-eye snail that was exposed in the sand of the shallow water.
Tan Ming reached her hand into the soil and slowly dug up. However, she did not dare to let the cat’s eye snail leave the seawater. Otherwise, it would cause its stress reaction, which is to quickly shrink. It would shrink and all the sand would end up being attached to the meat in the shell. After cooking, one would only be able to eat sand.
Tan Ming gently shook the cat’s eye snail in her hand. When she could see that the sand had been washed away, she took it out of the water and placed it in the ditch filled with clean fresh water. Shellfish were relatively easy to find. As long as she saw holes in the flat beach, she could dig down and find shellfish.
The two of them spent 30 minutes picking up seafood washed up by the seawater.
With a little time left, the siblings looked at the half-full pot of food.
Tan Ming said ambitiously, “Brother, I think we can take on the fish in the shallow waters now!”
“Hahaha, Little Sister is starting to get ambitious, she even dares to go swim in the water!”
“It can’t be helped. Between starving and going into the water, she can only choose the latter. That little bit of food is probably not enough to even fill the gaps between her teeth!”
“Poor sister. As a newcomer who just joined An’an’s fan club today, I really want to crowd-fund food and send it to the production team to distribute to my sister.”
“Hahaha, wanting to crowdfund +1, I feel like I can already see her starving two hours after dinner.”
Many of the topics surrounding Tan Ming in Jiang Huai’s live-stream were good-natured teasing. However, this relaxed and harmonious atmosphere made many viewers who were curious about Tan Ming to stay in the live-stream.
When Jiang Huai heard Tan Ming’s words, he was also a little tempted. After all, this was really not enough for his sister! If the food they were looking for now was really the ingredients for dinner, it wouldn’t be enough for her even if he did not eat.
The two of them acted on their words and quickly formulated a roundup plan. Each of them took a wide branch and walked to the shin-deep shallow water.
Coincidentally, a small wave came over. A turbot that was slightly bigger than the size of a palm was washed up. It quickly flicked its tail twice, covering its back with a layer of sand.
Perhaps because she had gone hungry many times since she was young, Tan Ming always had sharp eyes when it came to food. After noticing it, she patted Jiang Huai’s arm to signal him.
Jiang Huai stood at the side and was in charge of blocking its escape routes. Tan Ming slowly stuck the stick into the water and found a good position. Then, she swung it quickly and accurately at the turbot hidden in the sand. Then, the audience witnessed the fish fly in a parabola to the part of the beach without water.
After succeeding in their first try, the siblings’ confidence multiplied. Following this routine, they successfully rounded a few more fish of different sizes. They only stopped when Director Han’s loudspeaker sounded in the distance. Satisfied, they returned with the spoils of war.
“I have learned this technique. I just have to be fast and ambush the fish when it’s not paying attention.”
“In order to eat, Sister An and Brother Huai have put in all their effort!”
“I just want to say one word. Awesome! My sister’s shot on this deserted island was good enough to be a swing at a top-notch golf course.”
“My Sister An is indeed a genius. This is the first time I’ve seen someone fish without using fishing gear and hands. Instead, they swung tree branches to complete this perfect hunt!”
At this moment, Si Cheng, who had just finished a meeting, was watching the live-stream. When he saw Tan Ming and Jiang Huai’s intimate tacit cooperation and the flamboyant and gorgeous smile on Tan Ming’s face, Si Cheng felt as if he had been cuckolded!
Si Cheng exited the live-stream and started to call Tan Ming. He only ended up hearing the mechanical sound of the receiver indicating that the other party had turned off her phone.
Si Cheng’s first reaction was to assume that Tan Ming had deliberately turned off her phone so that no one would disturb her and Jiang Huai’s recording. For a moment, he was even angrier. “Tan Ming, good job! Just you wait. I’ll be in Sea City tomorrow morning!”
