Chapter 1143 — We Want Seafood! "Who Still Uses Fire to Light Things Nowadays? Isn't That What Primitive People Do? It's All Electric Grills Now!" Su Taizao Said Smugly: "Look at Wei Zhao, Stupidly Building a Fire Over There, Not Eco-Friendly at All, and He Could Burn Himself!"

"Damn it, you idiot, where the hell are we supposed to find power out in the wild? Don't tell me you bought one that needs to be plugged in?" An Jianwen grew anxious the moment he heard Su Taizao's words.

"Well... Yang Ganglou shouldn't make such a rookie mistake!" Su Taizao broke out in a cold sweat at An Jianwen's words. Right, where would there be power on this beach? Was this some kind of joke?

"Then what is going on here? Don't tell me it works without being plugged in!" An Jianwen fumed.

"Brother An, this is solar-powered, it can work without electricity..." Su Taizao opened the manual, glanced at it, and said, "I knew it, Yang Ganglou is a smart guy, he would never make such a low-level mistake!"

"Screw your sun, where is there any sun? Why didn't you tell him to buy one powered by the moon?" An Jianwen grew even angrier at Su Taizao's words. What the hell was this, still solar-powered?

"Brother An, please calm down, I'll call Ganglou right now and ask what is going on!" Su Taizao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. That Yang Ganglou really was something, how could he bring back such a screwed-up thing?

"Then ask him now!" An Jianwen waved his hand in frustration.

"Ganglou, what is wrong with you? Why did you buy a solar grill? Where is there any sun in the middle of the night? How are Brother An and I supposed to use this?" Su Taizao tore into Yang Ganglou without giving him a chance to speak.

"Brother Taizao, this is the latest high-tech product, a three-in-one upgraded version, the best-selling model right now!" Yang Ganglou said aggrievedly. "It doesn't just grill with solar power, it can be hand-cranked too, and it can also draw power from a car's cigarette lighter..."

"Is that so? Why didn't you say so sooner, you scared me to death!" Su Taizao felt hugely relieved to hear it could be hand-cranked and charged from the car, which was pretty advanced after all. "How is Brother An's sports car coming along?"

"I'm at the repair shop right now, getting it fixed!" Yang Ganglou said.

"Fine, keep fixing it, Brother An and I are going to grill." Su Taizao hung up the phone and hurriedly said to An Jianwen, "Brother An, this grill isn't just solar-powered, it can be hand-cranked and it can draw power from the car's cigarette lighter..."

"Is that right? Then I blamed Yang Ganglou unfairly, this is a fine thing after all, plug it into the car quick, I want to start grilling!" An Jianwen was overjoyed to hear that.

Sure enough, once the grill was plugged into the car, it heated up and began flashing with seven-colored lights, quite a pretty sight!

Su Taizao laid the skewers, chicken wings, and other things he had bought on the grill and started cooking, and at once waves of barbecue aroma filled the air!

"You keep grilling, I'll go call Gu Mengyao and the others to come eat!" After speaking, An Jianwen walked toward Wei Zhao's side and said to Gu Mengyao, who was about to go help Wei Zhao, "Sister Yaoyao, you're here too? We're grilling over there, why don't you come over and have some? What do you like to eat, I'll have Taizao make you some first?"

Gu Mengyao frowned. She had thought An Jianwen would wait a while before coming over to hit on them, but she never expected him to show up the moment they had just settled down!

"We brought our own supplies, you enjoy yourselves, thanks for the offer." Gu Mengyao said coolly.

"Haha, it's nothing, there's only the two of us, and we prepared plenty of food, lamb skewers, rib skewers, vegetable skewers, chicken wing skewers..." An Jianwen introduced them with beaming excitement.

"Sister Yaoyao and I want seafood!" Shen Yushu cut An Jianwen off and said bluntly.

"Huh? Seafood?" An Jianwen froze. He had roughly glanced at the skewers in the trunk earlier, and they were basically all beef, lamb, and chicken, with no seafood at all! So he hurriedly said, "How pleasant to hold a barbecue party by the sea, why insist on seafood?"

"At the seaside you obviously eat seafood! That's what gives it atmosphere, eating seafood in the sea breeze is the real pleasure, you can eat barbecue anywhere, we could hold a barbecue party in our own yard! If you don't have seafood then move aside, don't stand here in the way!" With one sentence Shen Yushu left An Jianwen completely deflated.

"Well... there's no seafood right now?" An Jianwen said with a miserable face.

"Isn't the sea full of seafood everywhere? What a joke!" Shen Yushu pointed at the ocean and said.

"Uh... I see... then wait for us..." An Jianwen was out of tricks, so he could only give up for the moment and run back to figure something out with Su Taizao!

An Jianwen felt he had made a serious miscalculation. When he had gone to Gu Mengyao's house before, he should have asked clearly what they wanted to eat, and asking now that they were already here was clearly a bit late!

"Xiaoshu, you're so wicked, you don't want him to go into the sea to fish for seafood, do you?" Gu Mengyao could not help laughing. Wasn't this just tormenting people?

"I never told him to, if he wants to take it that way, that's up to him." Shen Yushu shook her head and said with a perfectly serious face.

Gu Mengyao shook her head. Knowing An Jianwen's temper, he would probably send Su Taizao into the sea to fish for seafood, but on such a pitch-black night, what could they possibly catch?

Sure enough, after An Jianwen and Su Taizao went back to discuss it, they got ready to go into the sea to catch seafood!

Lamb skewers and chicken wings were delicious, but the girls didn't care for them! Making them would be wasted effort, and An Jianwen's main purpose in coming to the seaside this time was to catch Gu Mengyao's attention and curry favor with her, so now that Gu Mengyao wanted seafood, of course he had to take the lead and find a way to satisfy her demand!

"Drive the car to the shore and light the way with the headlights, the two of us will go into the sea to catch some seafood!" An Jianwen said through gritted teeth.

"Got it!" Whatever An Jianwen said, Su Taizao carried out. Although he had no desire to go into the sea to catch seafood, which was creepy on such a dark night, since An Jianwen was going in himself, he naturally could not fall behind!

An Jianwen and Su Taizao changed into swim trunks and threw themselves into the embrace of the sea under the glare of the car's headlights.

But where were they supposed to catch seafood in this pitch darkness? Never mind at night, even on the shallows in broad daylight they would be lucky to catch any seafood! To catch seafood they would have to go to somewhat deeper water, but the night sea was black and silent, and although An Jianwen was bold, he did not dare go into water too deep, for one careless slip would be nothing short of suicide! This was no swimming zone but a danger zone, who knew what perils lurked beneath the surface?

So An Jianwen and Su Taizao could only grope around in the shallows! But after groping for ages, apart from a few little conchs and little clams, they felt nothing else! Even if there were fish and crabs nearby, they were not to be caught by hand at night.
