"They've stopped for now?" Lin Xuan Qi frowned when he heard the fishmonger and said, "Where are they? I need to talk to them."
He didn't want to miss this optimal time to grow the kelp and he would have to try and persuade the fishermen to do so before it was too late.
The fishmonger pointed in a direction where there were many wooden huts built closely together.
"They should be back from the sea by now.
"Go and ask for Lee or Huang.
"Both of them have invested the most in trying to farm the kelp."
"Thanks." Lin Xuan Qi took out some copper coins from his sleeve pocket and gave them to the fishmonger.
"You don't need to…" The fishmonger tried to push away the copper coins as customary courtesy but he kept them after Lin Xuan Qi insisted on it for a few moments.
Lin Xuan Qi walked over to where the wooden huts were and saw fish nets hanging on wooden racks all over the area.
There were also some women busy fixing the fish nets while their kids ran around the area.
