Chapter 638: The Joy of Returning
Like the fishermen in the town, the new store of Shibaoge has opened a second branch, and business has been booming since the beginning of the year. With the completion of the construction of the heirloom farm and Baoling Port, domestic and foreign tourists who come to Baoling for tourism and leisure have also begun to gather in Baoling.
In addition to coming to Baoling to enjoy the scenery and play, many tourists also come for food. Among them, the most representative high-end restaurant, Shibao Pavilion is naturally the best. In this way, the restaurant naturally needs to consume a lot of ingredients every day.
Even though there is a cage farm on Nanshan Island, fresh seafood is served to the restaurant every two days. But in fact, some of the top seafood is still in short supply. Sometimes, we have to buy from outside.
Thanks to the establishment of the poultry breeding center and the increased supply of the heirloom ranch, the restaurant can finally meet the needs of the vast majority of diners. But for restaurants, the real biggest sales are still the seafood ingredients of the housekeeper.
Knowing that the fleet went to Asan Ocean to carry out fishing operations, Chen Xingwang and his son are also paying attention to the time when the fleet will return to the sea. After receiving a call from Zhuang Haiyang, Chen Zhong said directly: "You are finally back! I thought you would be a few days late!"
"What's the matter?
"It's not that there's a problem, it's that there are too few good seafood and too many people competing. You don't know that there is no bad business in the restaurants on this side of the port food street. What kind of seafood is there, everyone is desperately grabbing it!"
"Okay! The seafood brought back this time is enough for you to sell for a while. Even in our restaurant, I'm afraid we can't digest too much seafood. However, I have reserved enough seafood in advance to ensure that the needs of the restaurant are met. ”
"That's good! First of all, what good seafood did you catch on this trip?"
"Does Sanyo's specialty lobster count? Does three or four catties of the best blue crab count? I won't talk about other seafood!"
"Hold a grass! You kid makes a move, it's really not easy. Okay, I'll pick you up later, don't be too late!"
Even though each other's identities have been reversed, the relationship between the two has remained good so far. Especially after Chen Chong got married, he really began to stand alone. The second store of Shibao Pavilion is basically in charge of him.
His wife, children, and even his mother all moved to live in Baoling. In the Yipin villa area built in the port, Chen Zhong also purchased a high-end villa. Sometimes the two families will get together in the villa area if they have nothing to do.
It's just that those who live in the villa area know that the most luxurious and best villa in this villa area is not purchased by a powerful person, nor is it owned by the developer shareholder, but a villa of the owner of the heirloom farm.
Many times, even in this villa, Zhuang Haiyang's family cannot be seen. More often, Concubine Li and her son will stay in the courtyard of the farm. Only those who come to the port on weekends will stay in this gifted villa.
As for this villa, naturally some people asked Zhuang Haiyang for a high price. The problem is that Zhuang Haiyang is not short of money at all, and it is rare to have such a favorite villa, how can he sell it? Besides, his wife and children also like the scenery here.
In fact, Zhuang Haiyang has not purchased any real estate in recent years, and more of his real funds have been invested in the development and expansion of the heirloom farm. Even so, the accounts of the subsidiaries still maintain a large amount of liquidity.
And many state-owned banks in Nanzhou have also looked for Zhuang Haiyang's sister, hoping that the company can borrow from the bank. It's a pity that the money in the company's account can't be spent, so how can it be possible to take out a loan?
After receiving a call from Zhuang Haiyang, Concubine Li was naturally very happy and said, "You're back so soon?" I thought you would be at least three or two days late? This trip to the sea went smoothly, right?"
The fleet didn't go to the core, only stayed on the periphery for a few days, and when the fishing was over, we set off for home. This trip out can be regarded as exploring the way first. If you go again next time, you will have more in mind. ”
"Well, I'll wait for you at home!"
"That's right, I'm not mistaken, tomorrow should be the weekend, and Tingting's little girl shouldn't have to go to class. Wait a minute, you just take her with you, and we'll stay in Courtyard 1 for one night. The next day, take them to the playground to play. ”
"Will my sister agree?"
"It should be! No, let her bring Hao Hao with her. Work has to be done, but the children also have to accompany them!"
"Okay, then I'll talk to my sister later. How long will it take for you to come over?"
"I guess it's going to be a little late! When the time comes, you and your sister will go over first, and I'll be back when I'm done." If you are interested, you can take care of your son with your sister at that time, and I will accompany you to walk around the pedestrian street, how about it?"
"You're like this, the animal husbandry will be angry?"
"Hehe, we'll see you then!"
Considering that he often has to go to sea in the later period, Zhuang Haiyang, who has returned, also hopes to spend more time with his wife and children. As he has always emphasized, things need to be done, but the family must also take care of them.
The distant-water fishing vessels emptied in the town will be directly returned to Nanshan Island to anchor. The remaining two fishing boats, laden with fish, continued to sail towards Baoling Wharf. The farm convoy that learned the news also rushed to prepare for unloading as soon as possible.
For the vast majority of tourists who come to Nanzhou, they naturally want to taste more authentic seafood when they come to Nanzhou. Whether it is a restaurant on a farm or a resort, the amount of seafood consumed every day is naturally quite large.
The two boatloads of seafood brought back this time can also make the cold storage built by the farm finally enriched. Some of the remaining fresh seafood will be transported to the Food Treasure Pavilion restaurant, while others will be transported to the seafood farm at the resort.
In fact, Zhuang Haiyang is also considering building a marine farm on the farm. Only after thinking about it for a while, he decided to build the farm directly off the coast of Baoling. However, we have not yet found a suitable sea area.
If possible, Zhuang Haiyang still hopes to build a fishing ground, preferably one or two islands. That way, it's easier to manage. In addition, the water quality of the offshore sea is also a big problem.
Similar to these things, Wang Yanming is also in contact with the Baoling government. It won't be long before this investment project can be implemented. At that time, Zhuang Haiyang can also have two pure wild cage farms in Nanzhou.
Most of the seafood caught can also be directly stocked, which further stabilizes the supply of seafood in several restaurants. Coupled with the poultry breeding center that has already started operation, the supply of food ingredients for its restaurants in the future will be truly self-sufficient.
The advantage of this is that in addition to reducing the quality of ingredients, it can also reduce costs and increase the restaurant's revenue. Even if it's not bad for money, if you really want to make money, then why not do it?
When the fishing boat docked safely at the wharf, looking at the Chen family father and son who were already waiting at the wharf, as well as his wife and sister, Zhuang Haiyang was also very surprised: "Why are you all here?
"It's okay, we just came over, and we took them to the playground to play a little bit earlier, and we're going to be in good spirits!"
Taking over his son from his wife, Zhuang Haiyang also said happily: "Son, do you miss your father?"
"Thought!"
Zhuang Muye, who hugged Zhuang Haiyang's neck, did not hide his miss for his father at all. Taking this opportunity, Zhuang Haiyang also directly led everyone to the ocean-going fishing boat, just so that a few children could also see such a giant fishing boat.
Looking at the open water tank and the seafood still alive inside, the little ones also seemed extremely excited, pointing out the seafood they knew from time to time. Among them, the big lobster made the niece even more excited.
Pointing to the lobster, he said, "Uncle, can we eat the lobster tomorrow?"
"Eat! If you like it, when you get home, your uncle will make it for you, let's eat lobster for supper, okay?"
"Okay, can you eat the big crab?"
"Yes, these seafood on the boat, as long as you like, your uncle will make it for you." It's just that it can't be wasted!"
As soon as these words came out, the little girl said with a little sorrow: "Ah! Well, let's eat less!" The teacher said that you can't eat too much before going to bed. When we wake up tomorrow, we'll eat again, okay?"
Listening to the conversation between the two, the elder sister Zhuang Ting couldn't cry or laugh. But she knew that even if this brother had a son, he still doted on his own children. Because of this, a pair of children are also very attached to this uncle.
Chen Xingwang and his son, who were watching the goods, looked at the best blue crabs placed together alone, and said happily: "Such a big superb blue crab is really rare." When it is put into the display case tomorrow, those diners are afraid that they will go crazy!"
"Don't worry! There are really a lot of excellent blue crabs caught this time, and I don't have any left. Except for our restaurant, I don't sell any of them. As for the price, you can plan it yourself, and don't sell it too expensive. ”
This kind of superb blue crab is relatively rare in China. The price of each one is naturally not cheap. But compared to king crab or something, eating this blue crab is actually cheaper. These crabs and lobsters can be recommended as main dishes. ”
If nothing else, every time the fleet returns, it's the peak time for those members to return. As long as the news of these excellent seafood is recommended, I believe that those members will actively order food.
The real goodies, the diners who have a membership, are the first to get the news. The Food Treasure Pavilion and the resort have always only handled gold card members, and there are no other low-level members.
The treatment that Gold Card members can enjoy is to book in advance and get the news of restaurant recommendations in advance. The seafood caught by the fleet this time, those rare and rare seafood, must also be booked by these member diners.
The rest of the money will be reserved for the lucky ones who come to the restaurant. It's just that these lucky people, if they want to eat these superb seafood, they also need to pay a more expensive price than members. Otherwise, the high annual fee paid by members every year is somewhat uneconomical!
Because of this, most of the owners who really have no money in their pockets will apply for a gold card membership. For many wealthy businessmen, Shibao Pavilion is also their preferred restaurant for banquets. Especially entertaining friends from other places will also make them have more face!
