394: It earns foreign exchange for the country.

He only caught a few small fish, but Sister Xiao had half a bucket full, and the variety was immense; at a glance, he could see more than ten types of seafood.

"Sister Xiao, did you stumble upon a seafood nest?"

How did Sister Xiao manage this in such a short amount of time?

"Just grabbed them casually."

Xiao Niannian said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shen Yan felt jealous.

He had been searching for so long and only caught a few small fish, yet Sister Xiao already had enough for a seafood feast.

Was it good luck just by following Sister Xiao?

Shen Yan's eyes lit up, and he thought of a solution.

He tossed the few fish into the bucket and said with a smile.

"Sister Xiao, I'll follow you to catch fish. You have good luck."

Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

Although Shen Yan had a bit of a rich young master's temper, he was genuinely a good person: smart, adaptable, and capable of enduring hardship. He had taken quite a few hits from her during training in the past few months.

"Alright."

Shen Yan carried his bucket and followed beside Xiao Niannian, grinning from ear to ear.

Xiao Niannian saw a large rock ahead and intended to move it, so Shen Yan immediately put down his bucket.

"Sister Xiao, let me."

"No need."

Xiao Niannian moved the rock, and Shen Yan shouted excitedly as he saw seafood scattering everywhere.

"Ho..."

So much!

Shen Yan quickly stepped forward and grabbed the seafood.

After finishing the catch, Shen Yan was still skeptical. He thought perhaps this area simply had a lot of seafood.

"Sister Xiao, let me turn over some rocks."

He felt that he should also be very lucky.

"Go ahead."

Xiao Niannian knew Shen Yan was unconvinced and watched him go turn over rocks.

When he flipped one over, there was only one small crab underneath.

"I don't believe it."

He flipped over several rocks in a row, finding either one or two shells, a small fish, or small crabs and tiny octopuses.

Shen Yan looked at Xiao Niannian and said.

"Sister Xiao, you try."

Xiao Niannian walked forward and casually flipped over a rock.

A good number of fish, crabs, and shells appeared before Shen Yan.

Is this right? How could all these different things appear in the same puddle?

After the shock wore off, Shen Yan quickly grabbed the seafood, knowing that if he was slow, they would run away.

Xiao Niannian then tied up the large crabs, her speed astonishing Shen Yan even more.

"Sister Xiao, your technique is just like an experienced fisherman's."

Xiao Niannian just smiled and didn't answer.

In her original world, they would conduct sea training for one or two months every year, and sometimes they would go out to sea to rescue fishermen, which is how she learned these skills from them.

Her luck was definitely good, but part of it was observing the rocks and puddles, knowing which ones were more likely to hide seafood and fish... "I've caught a lot of fish before."

When Shen Yan heard Sister Xiao's words, he remembered that Sister Xiao grew up in the countryside of City Name. He thought of his own childhood, being mischievous and naughty in the Compound, living a life that was incredibly easy.

But Sister Xiao had endured so many years of hardship.

"Let's go, Sister Xiao, let's go catch fish up ahead."

Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen also hurried over. Seeing Shen Yan and Xiao Niannian up ahead, Lu Jing quickened his pace.

Shen Yan waited for Xiao Niannian to move a rock, then said.

"There's so much again! Sister Xiao, your luck is truly amazing."

The next second, the crab right in front of Shen Yan was snatched away.

Seeing the hand in front of him, Shen Yan looked up.

Brother Lu? Weren't they behind just now? Why did he suddenly rush over?

Seeing Lu Jing's look, Shen Yan felt panic.

Shen Yan instantly understood Brother Lu's gaze, and he said with a smile.

"Brother Lu, you catch the seafood, I'll go to the side."

He couldn't afford to upset Brother Lu again. Just now, he had secretly badmouthed Brother Lu and was caught red-handed.

"You move the rocks, and I'll catch them."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

Lu Jing was carrying another empty bucket in his hand.

Xiao Niannian moved the rock, and Lu Jing immediately reached down to grab the seafood.

Xiao Niannian also started catching them. The two of them cooperated perfectly, and their speed was much faster than before.

It was unclear whether Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian both had excellent luck, or if it was a stacking BUFF, but there was even more seafood now.

Shen Yan saw Sister Xiao and Brother Lu squatting on the ground catching seafood, and the quantity was even greater than before. When he moved a rock, or when his brother moved a rock, there was only a little, and sometimes no catch at all.

Could he tolerate this?

Shen Yan immediately moved closer again.

"Sister Xiao, I'll help too."

Lu Jing glanced at Shen Yan, and Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing.

Seeing Niannian's gaze, Lu Jing spoke one word.

"Fine."

Shen Yan felt delighted inside.

Sure enough, with Sister Xiao present, Brother Lu became gentle.

Before long, they had collected another large bucket.

An hour passed, and they had collected several buckets, plus a large net bag. It was truly a huge haul.

"In this weather, let's have a late-night snack tonight. Otherwise, it'll spoil by tomorrow..." Shen Yan suggested.

"Let's eat spicy ones."

Xiao Niannian also liked spicy food; she wasn't particularly fond of steamed dishes.

"I'll take them to the mess hall and ask them to help prepare them."

After Lu Jing finished speaking, he took Military Doctor Shen and Shen Yan, carrying the seafood to the mess hall.

Xiao Niannian returned to the dormitory.

After a quick shower, Xiao Niannian washed her clothes and hung them up to dry.

In this kind of weather, clothes could dry in less than half a day.

It's a pity there are no refrigerators domestically yet, and she can't constantly use saltpeter to make ice to cool down. Alternatively, she could design a refrigerator and have the Arms Factory manufacture and sell it?

In a few years, some Arms Factories will undergo restructuring. Doing this now would not only provide the Arms Factory with extra income, but the profits could also be submitted to the state, preventing the USA and other countries from earning this money. The country could also export these good refrigerators to earn foreign exchange.

The more Xiao Niannian thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Regarding refrigerators, she had disassembled many units and knew exactly what refrigerators of this era should look like.

She decided to act immediately. Xiao Niannian took out paper and pen and began drawing the blueprints.

If she drew them up sooner, production could start sooner, and she could even send one to her Grandmother later.

Also, air conditionersmshe needed to design those too, to earn more money from foreigners.

Xiao Niannian drew blueprints for over two hours. Only when she heard a knock on the door did she put down her pen, collecting the blueprints into her Spatial Dimension.

Xiao Niannian opened the door, and Lu Jing looked at her with a smile on his face.

"The late-night snack is ready and has been placed in the conference room next door."

Xiao Niannian nodded, walked out of the room, closed the door, and followed Lu Jing toward the conference room next door.

Hearing many people talking inside the conference room, Lu Jing opened the door, and Xiao Niannian saw Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li were also inside.

"Greetings, Commanders."

Xiao Niannian saluted them.

Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li saw Xiao Niannian salute, stood up, and returned a military salute.

"Comrade Xiao Niannian, we have been looking forward to you coming here for a long time, and we finally have you," Captain Chen said cheerily.

"We should call her Classmate Xiao now. Welcome back, Classmate Xiao," Political Commissar Li said, also looking at Xiao Niannian with a smile.
