Chapter 277: Happy Now, Aren't You?
With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people have begun to pursue some fresh and high-grade ingredients in the purchase of New Year's goods. Some people living in inland cities are also willing to buy some seafood to try during the Spring Festival.
It is precisely because of this demand and market that the seafood market near the end of the year, the price of some seafood has increased to varying degrees. While citizens complain about the high price of seafood, fishermen also complain about the lack of seafood on hand.
Seeing Zhuang Haiyang, who drove a small fishing boat and reappeared at the fishing market wharf, many fishermen also smiled and said: "Brother Zhuang, didn't you say that you would take a holiday and rest?
"Aren't the big boats and the small boats all for fishing? My men are all going home on vacation, and there are not enough people to drive the boats. Why? Can't you look down on the goods from my boat? In this case, I'll go to the fishing market and set up a stall by myself!"
"That's okay! That's okay! How can you be such a big boss, how can you deign to sell fish?
As some fishermen said this, the other fishermen laughed and scolded directly: "It's covered! You have no boundaries for your big mouth! What's the matter? Do you look down on us? The old rules, the catch caught by Brother Zhuang, let's still discuss and buy." ”
As many fishermen say, whether it is a big boat or a small boat, as long as it is seafood from Zhuang Haiyang, it will become the object of competition for fishermen. After some bargaining, a boatload of seafood quickly fell to each family.
Looking at the list of receipts on her mobile phone, Concubine Li was also very happy and said, "Brother Haiyang, guess how much our ship was sold?"
"You're like this, like a little money fan. This cargo should be around 20,000, right?"
"Well, 20,000 yuan is just over the beginning, which is already very good! I won't give you this money, okay?"
"Remove the word "moth"! I'm free labor anyway, you can drive whatever you want. ”
Although she knew that Concubine Li should not be short of money, Zhuang Haiyang still knew that she had never asked herself for money. Many times, the cost of school is to stay at home with me during the holidays and go to sea to fish to earn extra money.
After a few more trips to fishing, I believe that the money earned should be enough for Concubine Li's school expenses. Besides, the big money is in Zhuang Haiyang's hands, so what does it matter if this little money is not divided between him?
Since they have come to the town, the young couple will definitely inevitably go to the old lady's house. After eating, on the way home, Concubine Li also smiled and said, "Will we spend the Spring Festival on the island this year?
"If you want to feel lonely, then let's come to the town to celebrate the New Year with my sister! You should be able to feel that the Spring Festival today is completely different from when you were a child. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year's Eve to worship the ancestors, I would have planned to take you to Xiangjiang!"
"Okay, then listen to you, it's quiet to stay on the island. ”
For Concubine Li, spending the New Year there may not really be important. The important thing is who she is with for the New Year. For the trip to Xiangjiang after the year, Concubine Li is actually looking forward to it. Only this kind of time can she be by her boyfriend's side.
Considering that there are a lot of tourists ordering dried seafood online, and there is nothing to do when they happen to stay at home, Concubine Li instructed Zhuang Haiyang to act as a laborer, start collecting raw materials, and then make them into dried products.
Every time she came to the town to sell fish, Concubine Li would mail out all the packaged couriers by the way. Because these tourists who ordered the goods have been to Nanshan Island and know what Zhuang Haiyang's character is, most of them pay directly in advance.
In the face of these tourists' practice of paying money first, Zhuang Haiyang sometimes said directly in the group: "Aren't you afraid that if you pay, I won't send you things? With so much deposit, aren't you afraid that I will be corrupt?"
"We are not afraid that you will be greedy for money, but we are afraid that you will be salted fish. With the fisherwoman staring, you won't be able to run!"
"That's right! The fisherman likes to be salted fish the most. Find him something to do, save him from doing nothing every day!"
All kinds of complaints, Concubine Li who watched it was also smiling. But she knows more or less that tourists dare to pay first, and they also trust her boyfriend. In the eyes of these tourists, even if they pay in advance, they don't lose much.
What tourists really want is naturally Zhuang Haijia's dried seafood. If they hadn't sent it a year ago, they would have said it on the Internet, which I believe would have been a great blow to Zhuang Haiyang's reputation.
In order to avoid this from happening, when Concubine Li mails the package, she will keep the express delivery slip. After the express delivery, the customer will also be called to inform. In this way, after two or three days, many tourists will be able to receive packages one after another.
Considering the large number of people, the packages mailed in advance are naturally given priority to those who pay in advance. For the follow-up express delivery, if you really can't catch it out, Concubine Li will also inform you directly in the group, so that tourists don't pay for the time being.
If you really like the dried seafood here, when the people who work on the island come back in the future, they will make more dried seafood. Seafood such as oysters and mussels are also a favorite of many tourists, and they can be easily processed and enjoyed after buying.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhuang Haiyang also mailed some fruits and vegetables from his own vegetable garden to people like Wang Lao. If it were something else, Wang Lao might not accept it, and he would never refuse this kind of souvenir.
After sending the last batch of couriers, Zhuang Haiyang was also speechless: "Next, we can rest in peace, right?"
"Why, do you feel tired of doing all this work?"
"No, what about that! You don't know, I'm in good health!"
"Then why do you say that? Isn't it nice to be like this now? That is, you have made money and you have a loyal number of customers. In the future, when I graduate, these people will be able to create benefits for the company. You're helping me, aren't you?"
"Hmm!
Facing his increasingly arrogant girlfriend, Zhuang Haiyang also found that his status had dropped very much. The only thing worth being happy about may be that his girlfriend is still obedient to him in other things, which makes him enjoy a lot of different happiness.
Accompanying the elder sister's family to spend the New Year, knowing that the elder sister was also about to take annual leave, Zhuang Haiyang also said in a timely manner: "Sister, according to the list I gave you before, wait until I go back to the bank next time, and send out all those year-end bonuses!"
"Do you really want to send so much? How much have you earned this year?"
"How much I earn, others don't know, sister should know, right? Don't worry, the more they earn, the more I earn. ”
Originally, Zhuang Haiyang planned to give his comrades the corresponding year-end bonus when they left. But after thinking about it, I decided to choose the next issue. In this case, it can also be regarded as a New Year's gift and unexpected surprise for them.
Each comrade-in-arms has a year-end bonus of 50,000 yuan, even if the two sisters-in-law and Zhou Hongjie both get a year-end bonus of 30,000 yuan. This year-end bonus is distributed, that is, nearly one million. With this kind of generosity, it's no wonder that Zhuang Ling feels a little too generous.
Fortunately, Zhuang Ling also knows that this year, Zhuang Haiyang's income from the fishing company alone is as high as tens of millions. Even the taxes paid are among the best in the town. Even Zhuang Haiyang's brother-in-law bluntly said that Zhuang Haiyang is a big taxpayer in the town.
The comrades-in-arms, who didn't care about the so-called year-end bonus at all, received the transfer message from the bank again, and said very unexpectedly: "Uh! How can there be a transfer information of 50,000 yuan? What is going on?"
Just as some comrades-in-arms were about to ask Zhuang Haiyang, they received a message from Zhuang Haiyang in the group. Seeing that the 50,000 yuan belonged to the year-end bonus, the families of these comrades-in-arms also sighed: "You boss, you are really generous!"
"Yes, so after the Chinese New Year, if there is nothing to do at home, I still plan to go to work early. ”
"Well, I should have gone earlier, and this kind of work must not be lost. At home, we'll just keep an eye on it for you. ”
Some comrades-in-arms who did not go home to build a new house also almost chose the commercial housing they bought at this time. For their families, whether they build or buy a house, it is undoubtedly a major event for their own family and a symbol of their son's success.
In addition to gratitude, many comrades-in-arms decided that as long as there was something on the island after the New Year, they would go back early. They suddenly felt more comfortable on the island than at home. When I get home, I get a lot of headaches.
Lin Zitao, who is similar to the new house that has been built, learned that the girl from the neighboring village had returned, so he deliberately found a time to ask the other party to the town. Faced with the invitation, the girl from the neighboring village still readily agreed, and the two met directly in the town.
After chatting about some trivial matters, Lin Zitao was also very nervous: "Ayi, do you have a boyfriend now?"
The girl sitting opposite, dressed in a costume with ethnic minority characteristics, said with a smile: "Why do you suddenly ask this question?"
"Ayi, this is a very important question! For me, if you have a boyfriend, then there is no need to talk about the rest of the story. ”
Although he didn't confess, Lin Zitao said it so bluntly, the girl blushed a little and said: "You guy, it seems that you haven't been out for a long time, and you have become bolder when you come back." Aren't you afraid that my father will trouble you then?"
"I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid, if I don't say what is in my heart, I won't have a chance in the future!"
"No! happy now, aren't you?"
Seeing the girl say this with a shy face, Lin Zitao was also very happy in his heart, and continued: "My heart, I believe you should be able to feel it." I didn't dare to say it before, because I felt that I couldn't give you happiness. Now, can you give me a chance?"
"What would you do if I said no?"
Faced with the girl's sudden words, Lin Zitao was stunned for a moment, but said with a wry smile: "I don't know! Actually, I have mustered up the courage to ask you out today." If you think I'm not suitable, then I can only wish you happiness. ”
"But after the New Year, you're going out. And I'm still going to stay in my hometown and work, what will I do then?"
"You can go out with me! Didn't you often say that you wanted to see more of the outside world? My current boss actually has a travel company, and he will also receive tourists for sightseeing during summer vacations or spare time!"
Thinking of the work the girl was doing at home, Lin Zitao suddenly felt that taking the girl to Nanshan Island to work with him might be the best way. The premise is that the girl must approve of him before he can go to the girl's house to propose.
Only by mentioning a good kiss will the girl's parents be reassured and let him take the girl outside. This also means that when he returns to Nanshan Island next year, he will also belong to the members with families, and he will no longer be alone every day!
