Chapter 2292: The Seafood Feast
“Come over here, children. Big Sister will teach you how to swim.” Gina’s gaze locked onto the three children building sandcastles on the beach.
“Big Sister, we don’t know how to.” The three children quickly shook their heads.
Especially Ignatsu. He shook his head really hard and his face even turned green because of fear.
“Swimming is fun, and it’s an essential survival skill. If you guys fall into the water accidentally in the future, you don’t have to worry about drowning if you know how to swim.” Gina walked up to the shore.
“I don’t want to swim. I’m afraid of water!” Ignatsu threw the little spade down and turned around to run away.
However, he was picked up by his collar after only running a few steps.
“Ignatsu, we’ll start with you. Look at you. You are fat and round, and you already have a natural float around your waist. You’ll float in the water naturally, so you will definitely learn to swim very fast.” Gina picked up Ignatsu and jumped into the sea with him.
“Help!” Ignatsu let out a scream and a series of gurgling sounds followed.
“Go for it, Ignatsu!” Daphne clenched her fist as she shouted out her encouragement. Then, she instinctively took half a step backwards and hid behind Jessica.
Although she also wanted to swim freely in the sea like a fish, just like Amy, the sea was simply too terrifying. Would she sink if she fell into it? Were there scary sea monsters that ate people in it?
Whenever she thought about these things, she felt the deep blue sea was just like a sea monster with an open mouth.
Jessica looked at Ignatsu, who was struggling in the sea, with bright eyes. Her expression changed from fear to interest, and then finally to enthusiasm.
Ignatsu struggled in the sea for a while and drank a few mouthfuls of sea water, when he suddenly realized that he really wasn’t sinking.
......
The fat on his tummy was indeed just like a float. It created an exquisite balance at his waist, which allowed him to float on the water surface.
“Hey! I have learnt how to swim!” Ignatsu shouted in surprise.
“No, you are just floating on the water surface with your body’s natural buoyancy. You have to move yourself to call it swimming.” Gina shook her head smilingly and pushed him forward gently.
Ignatsu fell forward and instinctively moved his arms.
Just like that, his rotund body that was floating on the water surface, swam away.
“Now, you have really learnt how to swim.” Gina nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Jessica and Daphne.
Before Gina could speak, Jessica already raised up her hand and said, “Big Sister Gina, I want to learn how to swim too.”
A smile appeared on Gina’s face as she waved her hand and said, “Good girl. Jessica, come here. Big Sister will teach you how to swim.”

Around 30 minutes later, Mag went ashore with a long piece of seaweed in his hand. There were all kinds of live seafood tied to the seaweed.
There were 10 or so 500 grams crabs. Huge lobsters were tied together like a bundle of firewood. The yellow croakers were tied up in a row and there was a net full of big scallops.
Amy and Sivir, who had failed to find sea monsters, came ashore. The little one ran over and asked with surprise, “We’ve got so much seafood. Are we going to have a seafood feast today?!”
The ladies who were sunbathing on the beach after swimming, all looked over with an expectant gaze.
They could already imagine the umami of the freshly cooked seafood. Together with Mag’s culinary skills, they were already drooling after seeing the ingredients.
“Yes. We are going to make a simple seafood feast with all the freshly caught seafood. We naturally have to eat fresh seafood when we come to the sea.” Mag nodded with a smile. He simply caught some seafood before making a simple seafood feast.
Red braised big blue crabs, mala spicy lobsters, garlic lobsters, steamed large yellow croakers, a big plate of scallops with minced garlic and bean vermicelli, a big plate of grilled oysters, a pot of simple sea cucumbers and prawn porridge, all together with the fruits that the ladies picked.
“It’s time to eat!”
Mag brought the dining table to the beach and all of them sat at the long table. They basked in the warm sun, enjoyed the sea breeze and seafood feast that was freshly caught.
Sivir looked at all the dishes on the table and gulped. She was feeling a little weird.
She felt that she didn’t seem to have undertaken a mercenary’s mission nor was she working. Instead, she seemed to come here to play with all of them. Not only did she have fun, she also learnt how to swim and got to eat scrumptious food at every mealtime.
Mag looked at Sivir, who was still in her leopard print swimsuit and smilingly said, “Eat, don’t be shy. Take it as if you are in your own home.”
“Home?” Sivir flicked a glance at him.?Perhaps, he is hinting something to me? But we don’t seem to know each other well, right? Even though we could make this work slowly, isn’t he moving too fast now?
“Come, have a scallop.” Mag picked up a scallop with minced garlic and bean vermicelli for her.
“Thank you.” Sivir nodded with a blush as she looked at the scallop on her plate.
The scallop’s shell was a natural container. The white bean vermicelli and golden brown minced garlic were stacked on the thick scallop meat. There were also a few small red chilis which were pretty and colorful. Obviously, it was plated with extreme care.
The umami’s aroma greeted their noses. After swimming for a long time, the porridge that they had in the morning was already long digested. Their stomachs couldn’t help grumbling.
She picked up that scallop and then popped everything on the scallop into her mouth.
The rich garlic aroma aroused her taste buds first, then the sweetness of the seafood and the perfect texture exploded in her mouth. Finally, it was the satisfaction of chewing the bean vermicelli that brought everything together. Every mouthful was different and each layer was distinct. All the taste buds were activated and it made chewing unstoppable.
That exhilarating sensation went all over, from inside to outside and from top to bottom, as though her soul had gone to heaven. She bit onto her lower lip gently but she still couldn’t help but lament. “Ah… delicious!”
Mag looked at her trembling body with appreciation. It was a beautiful silhouette.
“Eat more if you like it.” Mag gave her a few more.
Sivir bit her lip. Her face was slightly hot. She looked at Mag with a slightly aggrieved gaze, but looking at the scallops on her plate, her hand couldn’t help picking up another one.
It was so scrumptious! This was an irresistible taste.
Even when her brain told her she shouldn’t continue, her body couldn’t help but fall into the abyss.
This was the first time that Mag made the scallops with minced garlic and bean vermicelli, but it received raving reviews from everyone.
The grilled oysters were equally popular. The whole plate was finished in a short while.
The red braised blue crabs were more troublesome to eat, but the fresh and succulent crab meat brought an incomparable satisfaction that the smaller kind of crabs couldn’t. It was equally popular.
