Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

Chen Changgui was stunned for a moment, his eyes darted around, and he immediately understood.

This guy won't do anything without a profit; he's trying to negotiate with me here!

"You little brat..." Chen Changgui pointed at Wu Sui, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The land in the village didn't belong to Chen Changgui himself, so he didn't feel any guilt about using it to do a favor.

"That land was originally saline-alkali land. Li Mazi wanted to apply for it before, but I didn't approve it because I thought his family was too small."

Chen Changgui waved his hand and readily agreed.

"It's indeed a bit inconvenient that your houses are separated, but I'll take care of it. I'll get the paperwork done for you today."

That's exactly what Wu Sui wanted to hear.

"Uncle, with your efficiency, you deserve to be the village chief."

He stood up, went to the inner room, and brought out paper and pen.

Chen Changgui was afraid that Wu Sui would be perfunctory, so he moved a stool next to Wu Sui and didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. He just stared straight at Wu Sui as he wrote.

Wu Sui didn't mince words; he picked out all the routines he had seen in his previous life for the opening of the fishing festival and listed them out one by one, making sure they could be implemented here.

Mazu statue parade, hundreds of boats setting sail with horns, seafood feast along the long street, bonfire party on the beach...

It is clearly organized, and even how to attract sponsors and how to mobilize villagers to set up stalls are written out in detail.

Chen Changgui became more and more excited as he looked at the book, and his hands were trembling.

As soon as Wu Sui put down his pen, Chen Changgui grabbed the few pages of paper and treasured them like precious treasures.

"Ah Sui, if this succeeds, you'll deserve a lot of credit."

Chen Changgui's face was glowing, all the fatigue from staying up all night gone.

"I'll go to the town to find the leaders right away, and I'll make sure this matter is handled properly."

After saying that, he rushed out of the yard without even taking a sip of water.

Wu Sui watched his departing figure, shook her head, and prepared to go to the old house for dinner.

The family sat around the dining table in the main room. Wu Gang ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice and couldn't resist joining them.

"Second brother, I heard that the village chief spent half the night squatting outside your house? Is he really planning to organize that fishing festival you mentioned?"

Wu Jianguo also put down his chopsticks and listened intently.

Wu Sui picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and nodded.

"pretty close."

"That old man is after the political achievements inside, and he'll risk his life to go to the town to get support."

"I reckon the village will be holding a big meeting to mobilize people in the next few days."

Wu Sui looked at Wu Jianguo and Wu Gang and gave them special instructions.

"Dad, eldest brother, if the village officials come to our door to persuade us, don't resist. You must cooperate and support them."

Wang Feng carried a bowl of clam soup out of the kitchen and placed it on the table, her face full of confusion.

"Cooperation is fine, but isn't it too much of a hassle to have both of our boats participating?"

He wiped his hands on his apron, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"A large ship launched will definitely have to go out to sea and won't be back for several days."

"That old boat can just go out and haul in a couple of nets; there's no need for both boats to stay at home waiting for that festival, is there?"

Wu Sui shook his head and looked at Wu Jianguo.

"Sister-in-law, that old boat doesn't trawle anymore, and it hasn't been going out to sea lately."

These words stunned everyone present.

Wu Gang exclaimed in surprise, "They're not going out to sea these days? There are still several days until then. If the weather is good, are we not going to use longline fishing?"

"I'm not releasing it."

Wu Jianguo frowned and tapped the tobacco pipe.

"Second brother, what are you planning to do now?"

"Longline fishing is catching well, why not just let the money go to waste?"

Wu Sui smiled and poured his father a glass of wine.

"Father, don't be anxious, let me finish."

Wu Sui picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup, and spoke slowly.

"These past few days we've dismantled all the trawling equipment on that small boat, gone to town to buy a few sets of folding tables and chairs, got a gas stove, and bought some pots and pans to put on the boat."

"In the future, when you take your boat out fishing, if any boss wants something fresh, you can cook it right at sea."

"You can also take the boss to set up a fish trap, and steam all the crabs and shrimp he brings in one pot. That would be a specialty."

Wu Jianguo was completely bewildered: "You want me to cook? I don't know how to cook that."

Wu Sui felt somewhat helpless.

They do have many outdated customs, such as men not entering the kitchen, women not boarding boats, and even women not sitting at the table. These are all old-fashioned ideas.

But isn't the point of being on a ship to eat something fresh?

Who cares about skill level? As long as you can get the hang of it, that's fine.

Wu Sui explained to his father and then pointed outside the door.

"Even if the fishing festival can be held this time, I don't think there will be many people from inland areas."

"Locals don't care much about how well it's cooked; they just want it fresh, so steaming is fine."

"We charge per person, about 100 or 200 yuan per person. Don't haul too much in one boat, just set up 12 fishing spots."

Wu Gang gasped, "One hundred yuan per person? Who would be willing to pay that?"

"Brother, you underestimate people's spending power these days."

"One hundred yuan seems like a lot to us, but the people who come to have fun don't care at all."

Wu Jianguo was stunned.

The old man had been fishing all his life, and he only ever knew how to sell fish to fishmongers. He never imagined he could make so much money.

Wang Feng was stunned. Her mouth was slightly open, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Chen Xue, who was sitting next to Wu Sui and picking fish bones from Ya Ya's bones, suddenly stopped what she was doing when she heard this.

She turned her head and stared at Wu Sui's profile, her expression somewhat strange.

"You mentioned the fishing festival to the village chief last night and even gave him advice... Could it be that you were just trying to get customers for Dad's fishing boat?"

The room fell into a deathly silence as soon as he said that.

Wu Gang's chopsticks fell onto the table with a "clatter".

Wang Feng stared wide-eyed at Chen Xue, then at Wu Sui.

Wu Jianguo even forgot to smoke, staring at his second son with his mouth agape.

Wu Sui touched his nose and chuckled.

"Not entirely." Wu Sui picked up a piece of green vegetable with her chopsticks.

"I just said it offhand last night because I had too much to drink."

"I didn't expect Chen Changgui to be eavesdropping outside the door, so I went along with it and said a few more words."

"Think about it, if the village really organizes this fishing festival, even if it doesn't attract many people in the first year, at least it will make a name for itself."

"When tourists arrive, the dock will be packed with people. We'll just moor our fishing boats there, put up the signs, and we won't have to worry about not having customers!"

Wu Sui put down his chopsticks and spread his hands.

"Knowing that old bastard Chen Changgui as I do, he would definitely do everything in his power to make this happen for his own future."

"We don't have to do anything. We can just take advantage of his success and start up Dad's business."

The whole family was completely stunned by Wu Sui's actions.

Wu Gang swallowed hard and gave a thumbs up.

"Second brother, what's wrong with your brain... The village chief treats you like a hero, but you treat him like a laborer?"

Wang Feng was also full of amazement, and her expression changed completely as she looked at Wu Sui.

She used to think that her brother-in-law was unreliable and spent money recklessly.

Now it seems that they were more shrewd than anyone else in their calculations, thinking three steps ahead for every one step they took.

Chen Yang and Wang Dazhu were dumbfounded, their faces showing as if they were looking at a god.

Wu Jianguo exhaled a long smoke ring, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.

"Okay, we'll do it your way. We'll take advantage of the wind and dismantle the equipment on the ship this afternoon."
