Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 658: Follow the old rules

The lanterns are on.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang walked slowly along the small street.

"What happened?"

"Why are you so happy?"

Zhao Dahai was as happy as a little bird when he saw Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Hee hee hee!"

"Not only did he sell the fish, he didn't leave with me immediately after the sale. Instead, he helped clean up before leaving."

"I am very happy in my heart!"

Ding Xiaoxiang was indeed very happy. After selling the fish, shrimp and crab, there was not much to do to clean up the stall. However, Zhao Dahai did not rush to leave with her and helped clean everything up. This thing seemed simple, but he did it very well.

……

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded.

Zhao Dahai took Zhong Shizhu, Liu Gang and Lei Dayou out to sea. The tradition of the fishing village is not just about paying. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou had to take care of whatever happened in their homes. Someone was sick. You have to deal with your own affairs, or if you encounter something, you have to spend a lot of money temporarily, and you have to pay yourself first, etc.

"Are Brother Jun and Brother Jie back?"

……

"He hasn't come back yet!"

As Zhao Dahai walked forward to find a place to eat, he talked to Ding Xiaoxiang about some things that happened during the period after he went to sea. There was no need to worry about his grandma or the house. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou followed him to go to sea. If there is something going on inside, you need to find someone to give you advice. The most important thing is to explain it clearly to Ding Xiaoxiang.

"It'll probably take some time!"

"What dad means is to let the two of them handle everything before they come back."

"The person you are looking for is indeed very reassuring, but you still have to take care of your own affairs."

……

What really matters is that people in Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou's family may come to them for advice and decisions.

"I know this!"

"How can this happen quickly?"

"It's just a small thing."

"Although grandma Zhong Cuihua is not young, she is in good health and there is nothing wrong with her. Don't worry too much."

"The sea!"

"There is another important thing. On the first trip to Shanghai, I took Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou out with them."

Ding Xiaoxiang is a little strange.

Isn't it better to cut through the mess with a quick knife?

If Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi want to follow their eldest and second brothers back to the town, then come back. If they don't want to, then just pull them down. Don't wait any longer.

Zhao Dahai remembered that he had not seen Ding Jie and Ding Weijun for several days. He had not seen Ding Jie and Ding Weijun at the fish detector at the fish market just now, and he had not heard his future mother-in-law talk about this matter.

"Why do you say that?"

"Row!"

"what?"

"After you go to sea, I will find time to sit at the home of Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou."

"I'll have to go to sea in two days."

"Don't worry, it will take a while!"

"You have to keep an eye on things at home, especially things on the property."

"A longer time would be better!"

Zhao Dahai knew that it was not about the resignation of the company, but about Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi.

Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, he left the town a few days ago and went back to the company in the big city to complete the resignation procedures. He made up his mind to come back and take over the business, but the more critical thing is Chen Miaomiao and Zhang Qi.

"correct!"

Nowadays, in many places, hiring people just pays and doesn't care about anything else. But in places like fishing villages, you still have to pay attention to such traditions. At least you and Zhao Dahai will act according to the old rules.

"How are things going?"

Zhong Cuihua is in very good health, and the floor of the house is being leveled. It doesn't take much time, but she just needs to take a look from time to time.

"No matter how big or small it is, if they come to you and ask you for advice or an idea, they can talk."

"correct!"

"Hey!"

Ding Xiaoxiang frowned in distress.

"The only ones left in the family are women and children. If nothing happens, there won't be any problems. But if I encounter something and I can't make up my mind, I might come to you, or to my second grandfather, Zhao Shi."

"what!"

"It's definitely better to delay this matter for a while. No matter whether you come or not, you have to take some time. Think about it clearly, right?"

"Hurrying to make a decision, whether to come or not to come, is a hassle."

"Wouldn't it be better to wait a little longer, think about what's going on, and then make a decision?"

"In this way, no matter what kind of decision you make, you don't have to regret it. If you decide to come to the town quickly and feel that you can't accept it after living for a while, then you regret it and want to go back and leave, that will be troublesome."

Zhao Dahai knew that Ding Xiaoxiang was a little anxious, but he couldn't do this kind of thing in a hurry. The key is that decisions made in a hurry can easily go wrong.

Ding Xiaoxiang thought for a moment and nodded. What Zhao Dahai said makes sense. She has been a little anxious about this matter in the past few days, and now she is slowly relaxing. My father and mother are discerning people. They have seen clearly what Zhao Dahai said before. Let the eldest brother and second brothers Ding Jie and Ding Weijun do not have to worry and come back after they have dealt with it properly.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang found a food stall and sat down to eat. After dinner, they walked around the town.

Zhao Dahai saw that the time was almost up and sent Ding Xiaoxiang back to Dashi Village.

the next day.

Not long after Zhao Dahai had finished his breakfast, he received a call from Liu Lei, saying that he was going to sea for a month and that before going to sea, everyone would have a meal together at noon.

Zhao Dahai agreed, called Ding Xiaoxiang and told him about Liu Lei's invitation to dinner at noon. Liu Lei also invited Shi Zhongwei and Ding Ailian.

Zhao Dahai went out and took a look at the land that was being leveled. The progress was very fast. In just two or three days, almost one-third of the land had been leveled. The remaining two-thirds were a little more difficult, but no matter what, , it can be completed in about a week.

Zhao Dahai stuffed two packs of cigarettes into Sun Zhiming's hands, chatted for a few words, and told his grandma Zhong Cuihua about Liu Lei's dinner treat at noon. He drove a tricycle to the town and went directly to Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant.

Zhao Dahai saw Liu Gang greeting people coming to eat at the door of the restaurant.

"Boss Liu."

"Your business is really good!"

Zhao Dahai looked at the first floor of the restaurant behind the large glass window. It was only around 11 o'clock in the morning and it was not the actual meal time, but this floor was almost full and there were many cars parked. From time to time, people would come to the restaurant.

The New Year is almost over now, and almost all the people who returned to the town have left. It is really rare to have such a good business.

During the Chinese New Year period, Liu Gang's Hongyun Restaurant became very famous, and many people from other towns or counties came to eat.

"what!"

"That's right!"

"Honestly, I didn't expect the business to be so good."

Liu Gang laughed so hard that he almost lost his eyesight.

One way to know whether business is good is to compare it with other peers, and the other way to know it is to compare it with your own restaurant at the same time last year.

Liu Gang knew very well that the business of other competitors in the town was much worse than his own. In addition, compared with last year, he was not even a little bit better.

"Zhao Dahai."

"The fish you caught on the artificial islands before the Chinese New Year had a huge impact on the restaurant's business!"

"Most of the fish, shrimp and crabs that other colleagues have are bought from other places!"

“People in this town still recognize the taste of our local fish, shrimp and crab!”

Liu Gang knew that he was good at doing business.

But what really works to steal customers away from other competitors is the fish, shrimp and crabs sold in your own restaurant.

Almost all the top-quality goods, such as groupers and other fish, are caught by Zhao Dahai from artificial islands.

Without these groupers to support the scene, the restaurant would not be able to have such a good business.

"what!"

"Boss Liu."

"You're welcome."

"Let's not talk about our relationship. Just take the price of the groupers you bought from me. I made a lot of extra money." Zhao Dahai shook his head with a smile. The groupers he caught had a great impact on the sound of Liu Gang's restaurant. But at the same time, the price he sold to Liu Gang was much higher than the price he sold to others. He had already made more money. Whether Liu Gang's business was good or not had nothing to do with him. He couldn't take the credit.

"Hahaha!"

“Let’s all get rich together!”

"Liu Lei is already waiting for you in the big box on the top floor!"

"Just go up there!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin are already here. Shi Zhong is going to pick up Ding Ailian and will be here in a while."

"You young people can take care of yourselves, I won't be in charge of you!"

Liu Gang pointed to the top floor of the restaurant.

Zhao Dahai walked into the restaurant and walked directly to the top floor. When he opened the door, he heard Liu Lei's voice.

"Yo!"

"Brother Dahai!"

"You're here! You're here!"

"Sit down quickly!"

As soon as Liu Lei saw Zhao Dahai running away, he rushed over and pulled out the stool next to Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Row!"

"I won't be polite to you anymore!"

Zhao Dahai was so polite that he sat down directly.

"what!"

"You are my eldest brother, how can this be called polite? This is what I should do!"

Liu Lei nodded and bowed, with a bright smile on his face.

"Hey!"

"Fat!"

"Why do I think that if a business like yours is in your hands, it will definitely get better and bigger?"

"Your father is definitely not as good as you!"

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Liu Lei.

People who do business must be versatile, able to say everything and do everything. The key is to speak smoothly and do it in a way that makes people feel comfortable. Liu Gang is definitely a master, but Liu Lei is simply better than his master.

"what!"

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang!"

"I appreciate your noble words! I appreciate your noble words!"

"Whether my business is good or not depends on whether Brother Dahai supports it!"

"Brother Dahai, if you catch more fish and you are willing to sell more to me, then the business will definitely make a lot of money!"

Liu Lei talked incessantly, never stopping at all.

"Come on, come on!"

"Stop talking nonsense here!"

Yang Qin couldn't stand seeing Liu Lei like this.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang!"

"There's something going on at Fatty's house recently, and I want to hear your opinions."

As Yang Qin spoke, he picked up the teapot and filled the teacup in front of Zhao Dahai.

"Yo!"

"What is going on?"

"tell me the story!"

Zhao Dahai was a little strange.

Yang Qin and Ding Xiaoxiang have a very good relationship, and they are not polite about anything, but no matter how they say it, carrying the teapot and pouring tea now means that this is a relatively important matter.

"what?"

"Yang Qin."

"What happened? Why didn't I listen to what you said?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment. She really didn't hear what Yang Qin said.

"Brother Dahai!"

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang!"

"That's actually what happened!"

……

"The first floor of the building where my restaurant is located has been purchased, but the floors above are all rented!"

……

"Isn't the business doing well in the past two years? With some money, I'm thinking about whether to spend it to buy it!"

……

"We talked about it and the price is pretty good. Now we're just talking about whether we want to spend the money to do this!"

……

Liu Lei frowned.

During this time, I have been discussing this matter with my father, Liu Gang, and I am a little undecided.

Today, Zhao Dahai and Shi Zhong were invited to dinner. Yang Qin said that it would be better to ask Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang to hear their opinions.

Liu Lei felt it was very reasonable.

Although Zhao Dahai is just fishing, a good fisherman must have a good brain. Ding Xiaoxiang won't go into details. His family is in business. He has grown up in this environment since he was a child. There is no need to say much about his vision. He is a truly smart person.

He and I, Liu Gang, couldn't make up their minds, so we simply asked Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang.

"what?"

"Is that all about this?"

"Do you need to say anything? You must buy it. Don't say you can't buy it or not. Even if you are a little tight on money or even need to borrow some money, you have to buy it!"

Ding Xiaoxiang immediately said she wanted to buy this building without hesitation.

"what?"

"Like this?"

"Do I have to buy it no matter what?"

Yang Qin was startled. She thought it would be more appropriate to buy it, but she was not as determined as Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Ok!"

"There's really no need to think about this."

……

"If the first floor hadn't been bought a long time ago, the people in this building would definitely have to raise the rent or even drive you away."

……

"As a business owner, you must know very well how much impact the change of one store to another will have on your business."

……

Zhao Dahai didn't need a detailed analysis. He only mentioned two points about the pros and cons here, and Liu Lei and Yang Qin's expressions became very ugly.

"Brother Dahai!"

"You're right. If the first floor hadn't been purchased, the rent would have been raised or even evicted!"

"If you really change the place, even if you hang the same sign, it will have a huge impact on your business, and you may not even be able to make too much money!"

Liu Lei took a deep breath. This matter was really not complicated at all. He and his brain were thinking too much, but they couldn't see or pay attention to the simplest facts. What if I buy it on the first floor? One day a similar restaurant will open on the second floor. Wouldn't it make your own house sick to death? If you can buy it, you really must buy it.
