Chapter 255: Coughing up Blood
As time passed, the two would change their identities every once in a while. Gradually, avoiding the pursuit of the Black Armor Guards became a kind of fun for the two.
In addition to magic tricks, the two have also played the roles of doctors, musicians, and street vendors… They have watched the sunrise on the top of a mountain and danced with the waves on a deserted beach.
In the summer, the two of them specially got a set of diving suits made of shark skin and swam in the sea to their heart’s content.
The population in ancient times was far less than that of modern times, but the creatures in the sea were constantly multiplying. When the weather was clear and the waves were not too strong, Ye Shuo and Yao Zhi would usually have a good harvest.
In the modern era where seawater pollution is quite serious, Ye Shuo had only seen several sea cucumbers, sea urchins and abalone being caught with a sieve in some sparsely populated countries in his previous life. After travelling through time, he can now achieve this without going abroad.
Due to the crude storage methods available today, many seafood would not survive long even after being brought ashore. So after satisfying themselves, Ye Shuo and Yao Zhi would usually distribute the excess seafood to nearby poorer beggars or villagers who were unable to go into the water.
Looking at the abalone and crabs jumping around in the bamboo basket, Ye Shuo borrowed a stove from a villager in the fishing village and steamed them in a steamer. The whole process did not even require any seasoning. After a quarter of an hour, when he opened the lid of the pot, the room was filled with fragrance.
While steaming the crabs, Ye Shuo and Yao Zhi had already found time to finish off several lively sea urchins.
The delicate sea urchin slid into the throat, and the sweet, soft taste immediately spread in the mouth. As for the sea cucumber, of course Ye Shuo roasted it with green onions.
