Parents are busy farming

Suddenly, Ye Zifen felt an impulse in her heart.

She turned and walked into the cabin looking for something.

After a while, she came back to the deck with a small fishing net in her hand.

Slowly lower the fishing net and sink it into the sea, as if exploring an unknown world.

Next, she found a small table, placed it carefully on the deck, and covered it with a thick cloth.

Finally, she placed a small brazier on top, ready for the surprise that was to come.

Ye Zifen gently pulled up the fishing net, looking forward to the harvest.

Although the catch from this net was not much, a few plump crabs and a not-too-big shrimp were enough to make her happy.

She carefully placed the fresh seafood onto the wire mesh in the brazier to ensure that they were heated evenly.

Since the crab has been cleverly tied up, it cannot escape easily even if it rolls and struggles on the brazier.

Over time, the crabs slowly cooked over the brazier.

By the time the rope was burned through by the flames, the crab had stopped moving.

Their shells turn bright red and emit an enticing aroma.

That shrimp did not receive such treatment. She simply found a piece of wire and picked out the shrimp's belly, then passed the wire directly through the shrimp's head to its tail.

She hadn't finished baking yet when Mu Hongzhou and the old captain came over.

Mu Hongzhou looked at Ye Yao and said, "It's a pity that there is no wine. If there is wine, and I eat the girl's cooking, my life will be enough!"

The old captain laughed and said, "Master Mu may really regret this. Miss Ye announced the rule that no drinking is allowed on the ship before the ship sailed. She also said who can violate it. The consequence of violating it is that they will not bring anyone here next time, and there will be no reward this time."

Mu Hongzhou shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't care about these, but I am the girl's master, so I have to set an example. So I can only bear with your questions. But the roasted seafood that can be eaten is also good."

After saying that, he picked up the shrimp, blew on it twice and started biting it.

Mu Hongzhou sighed as he ate, "It's so fresh. It's still delicious when it's just caught. Girl, I need to cast a few more nets. This won't be enough!"

After eating the shrimp, I couldn't wait to pick up a cooked crab and taste its tender and juicy meat.

Every bite is a reward for hard work and an expression of gratitude for nature's generous gifts.

Ye Zifen smiled and said softly, "It's landed. I'll go over and see if there's any seafood coming ashore."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the seaside.

After watching Ye Zifen leave, Mu Hongzhou quickly picked up a crab and handed it to the old captain, saying with a smile on his face: "Try the girl's cooking skills. You probably haven't tasted the seafood she cooks before!"

The old captain took the crab without hesitation, opened the crab shell skillfully, and began to taste it.

As an experienced fisherman, he naturally knew which parts were edible and which parts needed to be discarded, and he was not at all unfamiliar with it compared to Mu Hongzhou.

Mu Hongzhou asked curiously, "How does it taste? Is it unique?"

The old captain tasted the delicious food and replied, "Steaming is still the most delicious. This way of eating is quite interesting. We usually choose to cook it before eating."

Just then, Ye Zifen slowly walked over with a crab and two palm-sized fish in her hands.

She smiled and said, "It seems that you, the experts who often eat seafood, know better how to cook. Most seafood can only retain its original delicious taste by steaming."

As she spoke, she placed the crab on the brazier net, then cleaned out the entrails of the two small fish and put them aside for later use.

The two fish and the shrimp received the same treatment.

Ye Zifen cast the net seven or eight times in total. Although the harvest was not big, she made some gains every time, and not once did she catch an empty net.

Despite this, she didn't get a single bite into her mouth.

Only after Mu Hongzhou and the old captain had eaten their fill did Ye Zifen breathe a sigh of relief.

She quickly got them some ginger water to drink, then cleaned up the deck and prepared to rest.

The old captain said somewhat embarrassedly: "Miss Ye has been busy for a long time, but she didn't eat anything. All the food went into our stomachs."

He felt a little sorry for Ye Zifen, after all, she worked so hard to fish and cook for them.

Mu Hongzhou waved his hands to indicate that he didn't care.

He smiled and said, "It's good for her to keep her busy. Don't you see that she has been lying in bed all day and her body is almost rusty? How can we not find something for her to do? This way she will be happier."

After hearing what Mu Hongzhou said, the old captain suddenly realized.

It turned out that Master Mu didn't really not have enough food, but he was deliberately saying that there was not enough food, so that Miss Ye would cast the net again and again.

This allows Ye Zifen to exercise her body and satisfies everyone's appetite at the same time.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Ye really respects you. She is usually so busy, but she has no complaints about your orders. This is very rare."

After hearing this, Mu Hongzhou nodded in approval, "They are all good siblings. The children of the Ye family are all very good children."

The old captain had only had in-depth contact with Ye Zifen, but he didn't think that Master Mu was lying.

Ye Zifen broke out in a sweat and felt much more comfortable. She lay down on the bed and fell asleep again.

It was not until the late night that a master knocked on their door, and she and Mu Hongzhou got up.

He opened the door and asked, "What happened?"

The master said, "Just now we noticed from the deck that there seemed to be a small boat approaching in the distance, but then it left very quickly. We studied the map and found that there are several islands nearby. I'm afraid it won't be very peaceful."

Ye Zifen understood what he meant, and she immediately said, "I'll go with you to look at the map."

The group came to the cabin to check the map, and as they said, there were several small islands near this sea area, and pirates or other dangerous people might be hiding on these islands.

Ye Zifen frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "We must be careful. If those small boats are sent by pirates to explore the way, then we are likely to be targeted by them."

Mu Hongzhou nodded in agreement, "That's true, but we can't take it lightly, after all, the situation here is quite complicated."

After some discussion, everyone decided to strengthen the ship's vigilance and prepare some weapons just in case.

At the same time, they also decided to change the route and try to avoid those small islands to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
