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

Chapter 1308: Smart Ding Chongshan
"Yang Qin."

"You still have to listen to Ding Xiaoxiang on this matter, and discuss it with Liu Gang and Liu Lei after you go back."

"The impact of this incident could be huge."

"There aren't many fish in the two cages. Even if we give them to you, we won't make much more money even if we sell them together."

"But once there is an impact, especially the kind of impact that Ding Xiaoxiang just mentioned, the consequences will be too serious."

Zhao Shi had been silent the whole time, but now he immediately spoke up to remind Yang Qin that she must discuss this matter with Liu Gang and Liu Lei after returning.

"When business is booming, you have to be careful and cautious, and even refrain from making changes. No one knows whether such changes are good or bad."

"Why would you change when you are making a lot of money? Isn't it good to make a steady income now?"

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that Yang Qin's words now or her desire to buy the fish in the cages were actually what Liu Gang and Liu Lei meant. Even Wu Weimin and the others wanted to sell these fish, which was why they kept telling her about this matter again and again. But this was really not a simple matter.

Yang Qin thought about it and nodded. She really had to go back and discuss this matter with Liu Gang, Liu Lei and others. If there really were any problems, it would be a big deal. It would be really serious.

The last time Hongyun Restaurant was expanded, Liu Gang and Liu Lei asked Ding Xiaoxiang for their opinions, as well as Ding Chongshan and then Zhao Dahai. In the end, they decided not to expand the restaurant and keep it as big as before.

Looking back now, this decision was absolutely 100% correct. Business has been much better in recent times.

More people come to Hongyun Restaurant to eat.

More and more people are waiting for a seat to eat, but it seems that it has no effect. No one comes and leaves after seeing the people waiting for a seat.

Ding Xiaoxiang disagrees with selling these fish in Hongyun Restaurant and private restaurants, so she will most likely ask Zhao Dahai, and Zhao Dahai will have the same opinion.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi!"

"The sea bass you caught is already cooked. Do you want to eat it now?"

Ma Baozhu came over. The big sea bass that Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming had caught earlier had been sent to the kitchen and was now cooked. It was getting late, so now was the time to eat it.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming both nodded. Yang Qin and Ding Xiaoxiang happened to arrive, so they all ate together, and it became more lively with more people.

Ma Kai Baozhu immediately asked people to set the table and brought up the cooked fish, one was sea bass head soup, the other was sea bass fillet.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin took bowls and filled them with the freshly cooked fish head soup for Zhong Cuihua, Huang Jintao, Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming.

The fish farm is not far from the pier, but it is on the water anyway. The temperature drops quite a bit at night, and it is actually a bit cold when the sea breeze blows.

A bowl of steaming sea bass soup with a little ginger in it makes me feel warm all over and very comfortable when I drink it.

“The freshest fish is the best!”

Yang Qin drank a bowl of fish soup and couldn't help but get another bowl. Seafood is all about freshness. As long as it is fresh, no matter what kind of fish, shrimp or crab it is, it is delicious, not to mention that this is a sea bass weighing about 20 to 30 kilograms. The soup made from a huge fish head is extremely delicious.

"Correct!"

"Fish, shrimp and crabs are really delicious only when they are fresh. Yupai is a place where you can eat the freshest fish, shrimp and crabs."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and nodded.

What Yang Qin said is really just nonsense.

The taste of things like fish, shrimp, and crab will be very different if they are out of water for more than an hour.

Hongyun Restaurant is right in the town, but most of the time, no matter what kind of fish, shrimp or crab it is, it is impossible to sell it within an hour of leaving the sea.

There is really no way to compare it with here at Fish Fillet.

If you want to eat truly fresh seafood, you can only do so at the fish farm, or on Ding Dawen’s fishing boat, or on other fishing boats where the seafood is caught and cooked right after it’s been caught.

The sea bass used for making soup was caught by Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi, and they cooked it right after catching it. Such conditions are not available anywhere else.

“Speaking of food, the fish fillet is still very good!”

"correct!"

"How is the big white eel doing during this period?"

Yang Qin suddenly remembered that she had placed cages here with a lot of big white eels some time ago. This is a very good thing, and the key is that these eels are very large.

Ding Xiaoxiang glanced at Ma Baozhu and Ding Ailian. She had not paid attention to this matter recently and wondered if they could be caught.

"Recently, we have caught quite a few large white eels in cages, and we are keeping them all in the fish farm!"

"They are all big, and most of them weigh more than four pounds!"

"I estimate there should be about 100 or 200 of them now!"

Ma Baozhu was very clear about this situation.

"what!"

"So many?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment. She knew that as long as she put up a cage here, she would have a chance to catch some giant eels, but she didn't expect to catch so many. If there were one or two hundred, that would be a really lot.

"Are all these big white eels kept in the cages?"

Yang Qin looked at Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Hey!"

"Okay! Okay!"

"Giant white eels are different from other fish. If you want to sell them in a restaurant, then take some to the Hongyun Restaurant to sell. But you have to know that these giant white eels are not always available."

"The other thing is that you have to make it clear to Wu Weimin how many rules the two of you can have."

"At the beginning, take out 100 eels. You two families should discuss how many each person can take. I estimate that Wu Weimin will not let go of these big white eels. Each of you two families can only take 50."

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and nodded.

It is impossible to keep so many big eels here. There is no need to do so. Even if you want to eat them, you can't eat so many.

Another thing is that the giant white eel, grouper or sea bass are different. Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant don't sell such things. Even if they know that they are caught in cages at the dock, it will not affect others.

"How could Wu Weimin let it go?"

"As soon as I heard about giant white eels, I definitely wanted them. There was no way I would not want them."

Yang Qin smiled helplessly. Wu Weimin was a good businessman. The fish, shrimps and crabs sold in his restaurant were all high-end goods. It went without saying that Zhao Dahai had caught these fish. The big white eels caught at the dock were really top-notch stuff.

It would be fine if Wu Weimin didn’t know, but if he knew, he would definitely have to take it. If it was just one or two, then I could not tell Wu Weimin, but now there are quite a few, so I must tell Wu Weimin.

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled. That was indeed the case. Wu Weimin would never let it go.

"Yang Qin."

"When selling these large white eels in Hongyun Restaurant, they must make it clear that there are not many of them, or they must not sell these large white eels publicly, but only sell them to old or familiar customers who often come to the restaurant for dinner."

"There's not a lot of it, so there's no need to put it on the menu. Just tell them when they come here to eat that we don't have anything like it."

"Eat if you want to, eat if you don't want to!"

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and came up with an idea for Yang Qin. There were not many of these giant white eels, so there was no need to put them on the menu. Even if they were put on the menu, they would probably be sold out in a short while. There would be no more left. She could just sell some to the old customers or some of the customers who often came to eat at Hongyun Restaurant. Whenever someone came, she would tell them that there were these giant white eels. First come, first served. Anyway, they would be sold out once they were sold out.

Yang Qin thought about it and nodded. Ding Xiaoxiang's idea was very good. There was no need to put it on the menu. The quantity was really too small. When people who came to the restaurant to eat, they could just tell them that there were big white eels like this when they ordered. Or they could just tell old customers clearly that if they wanted to eat it today, it would be sold out as it was sold out.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"What the hell is wrong with your brain? How can you come up with such ideas?"

"In that case, it must be a secret menu. Those who come here to eat must be thinking about coming earlier to get the food."

"Every day, everyone is rushing to come to the restaurant to eat!"

Shi Guangming picked up a piece of fish fillet and put it in his mouth. The meat of the sea bass that had just been caught was very firm and delicious. He just needed to scald his hands with the soup cooked with the fish head, and then dip it in something and it would be very delicious.

Ding Xiaoxiang's idea is really a good one. Business people must have such little tricks, and the effect will be very good.

"Correct!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"How about we work together to figure out some other business?"

"If you don't make money, wouldn't you be doing yourself a disservice?"

Yang Qin nodded vigorously. What Shi Guangming said was indeed correct. The little ideas that Ding Xiaoxiang had come up with might not seem very impressive, or even much different from others, but in fact the effects would definitely be very good.

"Don't we have enough things to do now? How can we do other business? It would be great if we can do well the things we have, especially the building in our town!"

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head.

There are really enough things on hand now, and there is no need to do anything else. The most important thing now is to deal with the matter of the building in the town.

Yang Qin thought about it and nodded. It was really like that. There was no need to worry about other businesses now. The matter of the building in the town had to be settled. As long as this matter was done, there was no need to talk about anything else.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin drank the fish soup and ate some fish. Then they sat and talked for a while and then left the fish farm and returned to the dock.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin did not go home immediately after arriving at the dock, but went to the shop next to the dock.

"Uncle Ding!"

"Why are you still here at this hour?"

Yang Qin and Ding Chongshan greeted each other.

During this period, every time I came to the dock, I could almost always see Ding Chongshan sitting in this shop.

The only business Ding Chongshan does at the Shijiao Village Pier now is the fish that Shi Jiehua and Shi Zhong bring back with their boats. Normally, he does not do any other business.

Yang Qin felt a little strange and didn't know why Ding Chongshang spent almost all his time here.

"I'm doing business here! Or I'm preparing to do business here!"

Ding Chongshan saw Yang Qin and smiled.

"Where is the business now?"

"Shi Jiehua and his crew's sea fishing boat has not returned yet, and the fish they caught are not here yet."

"Most of the fish raised on the fish farm have nothing to do with you. Only some large orders need to be shipped."

"You don't take the fish, shrimps and crabs from fishing boats that go out to sea and come back."

"There's not much use in staying here, is there?"

Yang Qin really couldn't understand why Ding Chongshan spent so much time here. If there was something to do or business to do, there would be nothing to say, but there was really no business.

"There is no business here, and the fish caught by other people who go out to sea must stay here!"

"If I want to do business here, I must first let everyone here know that I am here to do business."

"If I really start doing business here someday and honestly collect the fish, shrimps and crabs caught by others, no one will say anything!"

Ding Chongshan knew that Yang Qin was a little confused as to why she had nothing to do and spent most of her time here.

This matter seems to be of no use at all, but in fact it is very important. I am not from Shijiao Village, and there are already many people doing business at the Shijiao Village wharf, and many people are buying fish, shrimps and crabs.

It is not easy for an outsider like me to interfere in the business here.

It is not impossible to start collecting fish, shrimps and crabs right after arriving, but the effect of doing so will be very poor. The most important and crucial thing is that it will immediately attract attacks from colleagues who were originally doing business here.

The outcome is likely to be that you won’t get any fish, shrimp or crabs, and you can only leave in disgrace.

The best way is to open a shop here now, but there is no need to collect fish, shrimps and crabs.

Over time, the people at the dock will get used to my presence here, so when I collect fish, shrimps and crabs, it won't cause much of a reaction.

Yang Qin was young and did not have much experience in business, so she did not expect this.
