After the scumbag was robbed, his young wife followed the army to Shanghai Island

Chapter 183 Selling Seafood to the Troops

"We can sell the seafood we picked up to the army." Jiang Sisi said excitedly.

"Troops? Will they accept it?" Du Yingfan listened with some hesitation, feeling that this matter was not very reliable.

After all, there are so many fishermen on the coast, and the seafood they bring back from the sea is much better and in greater quantity than what they pick up.

They only had this small bucket, and it wasn't even full. How could the army buy it from them?

It's not charity!

"Of course, the seafood we picked up is so fresh!" Jiang Sisi insisted, her look full of confidence.

She pulled Du Yingfan and walked towards the coast where the troops were, her eyes shining as if she saw the light of money.

Du Yingfan was speechless and felt that Jiang Sisi was just daydreaming.

"Yingfan, listen to me, I have my plans."

Jiang Sisi pulled Du Yingfan and walked quickly, her speech speed unconsciously increased a bit, with an unquestionable light flashing in her eyes.

"Although our quantity is not large, it is fresh and of high quality. The army has high requirements for food, especially perishable food such as seafood. They pay more attention to freshness and safety. We can talk directly to the person in charge of logistics in the army, maybe there will be a turning point."

"..." Du Yingfan was half-believing and half-doubting, but looking at Jiang Sisi's confident look, the extinguished fire of hope in his heart was rekindled.

He secretly told himself to try one last time, and if it really didn't work, he would give up the idea completely and go back to study.

The two people came to the beach next to the army. Jiang Sisi first took the bucket to the sea, washed the seafood picked up in the bucket with sea water, and then added more than half a bucket of water into the bucket.

After adding sea water, the weight of the bucket became heavier, making Jiang Sisi feel a little tired to carry it.

"Why do you add sea water?" Du Yingfan looked at her actions and felt very confused.

At first, he thought Jiang Sisi wanted to wash the seafood cleaner so that it would look fresher and sell better.

But if you add seawater into the bucket, do you still want to keep these seafood alive?

But this can't keep the animal alive, and it has no other effect except adding weight.

"After adding seawater, doesn't the bucket become heavier? Moreover, the seafood absorbs water, and when they are fished out, they will still be filled with water, so they will be heavier. We can make more money." Jiang Sisi proudly boasted to him, feeling that she was extremely smart.

"...Aren't we going to sell it to the army? Isn't it inappropriate to add water like this?" Du Yingfan couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.

After all, he is still a scholar with a certain moral bottom line. Moreover, if he were exposed for doing this, he would feel ashamed.

"What's inappropriate? We worked so hard to pick up the seafood, so what's wrong with washing it with water? Besides, the troops are all grown men, they wouldn't care about such trivial matters." Jiang Sisi said confidently, not feeling that there was anything wrong with her behavior at all.

Du Yingfan silently moved away from her, thinking that Jiang Sisi was really crazy about money.

Even if the troops are all grown men, they are just careless, not stupid. How could they not care?

"Yingfan, please listen to my explanation." Seeing that Du Yingfan was a little unhappy, Jiang Sisi quickly slowed down her tone and explained patiently.

"I do want to make more money, but my original intention is not to cheat. You see, our seafood is picked directly from the seashore, and its freshness is incomparable to the seafood on the market. Adding seawater is also to maintain the freshness, so that the troops can see at a glance that it is freshly caught."

"As for the weight, we didn't do it on purpose, but to prevent the seafood from losing vitality due to lack of water during transportation, which would affect the quality."

I have to say that Jiang Sisi does have the potential to be a profiteer. She actually rationalized all her calculations.

As Jiang Sisi spoke, she observed Du Yingfan's reaction. She felt relieved when she saw his brows relax a little.

She explained it this way because she was worried that Du Yingfan would expose her in a moment, and she also didn't want Du Yingfan to dislike her at this time.

After the two men prepared the seafood, they walked towards the direction of the army. During this time, they saw the store where Jiang Yushan was.

There were a lot of people sitting inside and outside the store, and many people who went to the beach to catch seafood were eating there. It seemed that the business was booming.

"Gulu..."

Du Yingfan could smell the aroma coming from the restaurant from a distance, and his stomach started growling.

Since arriving on the island, he had been eating steamed buns, porridge, and plain noodles in watery soup every day, which left him with a bland taste.

When I was in Xiguang Town, although I couldn’t eat meat every day, I could eat it every once in a while. It was nothing like the life I live now, which is so frustrating.

The more Du Yingfan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he couldn't move his eyes away from the restaurant.

“The breakfast here is really delicious. I come here every day and never get tired of it.”

"My family asked me to take some more of the jellyfish salad home today, saying that after eating it, they kept thinking about the taste every day."

"My husband said he wanted to come with me to catch fish and try the breakfast here. I mentioned it every day and he was craving for it."

A few people walked past them. They had just come out of the breakfast shop and were now preparing to go back.

These people were all praising the breakfast shop, and Du Yingfan was salivating after hearing it. He really wanted to try it to see how delicious it was.

"Jiang Yushan actually dared to drive us out of the store, and that boss doesn't know how to do business at all!" Seeing that he was watching, Jiang Si immediately reminded him of what happened a few days ago.

Although she also wanted to eat, Jiang Yushan worked in the store, and she would never give Jiang Yushan money.

Looking at the bustling breakfast shop, Jiang Sisi felt unspeakable jealousy in her heart.

Although Jiang Yushan was only working in the store, she felt that since she worked so hard to catch seafood but still couldn't make any money, why should Jiang Yushan stay in a store with such good business and get paid?

"What they make must not taste good!" Du Yingfan also said stubbornly.

Thinking about how Jiang Yushan had sent him to the police station and deliberately framed him, Du Yingfan didn't want to go to the store to give money.

But the fragrance was so alluring that he thought about it several times and couldn't take his eyes away.

"Let's go pick up some more while there are still people catching seafood. The more we pick up, the easier it will be to sell." Jiang Sisi couldn't bear it and pulled Du Yingfan away.

The two men did not go near the breakfast shop and continued picking fish in the nearby sea for a while.

But it has been some time since the tide went out, and the seafood has already sunk to the sand.
