Chapter 251: A Bold Idea
By the time the vines and vines in the yard covered the roof of the shed, I had already paid off the money the villagers had put together to buy me a car.
Life seems to have really become quieter, and on days when I don't go to sea to fish, I will move a chair, sit quietly under the grape trellis, make a cup of weak tea, hold a book casually, and sit quietly for an afternoon.
I opened a big door on the courtyard wall near the sea, and as soon as I opened the door, the sea breeze would pass through my yard, blowing the moist sea breeze, and listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach would make me feel like I was immersed in time.
This kind of loneliness is what I want, but I don't feel lonely, I know that people are born lonely, and the reason why people gather to pursue a group life is just that they can't bear this loneliness, and over time, our ability has been unconsciously degraded.
As everyone knows, our ancestors endured this loneliness, and after thousands of years of time, they evolved into what we are today, but we often forget this.
It is only when I think of Wei Lai that I feel extremely lost, when Wei Lai left, I promised her that she would go to see her, but now I don't know where to see her.
When I took the card that Jiang Chengxiu gave me, I just glanced at it in a trance, and only remembered the two words Shanxi, and I followed the clues of memory many times to return to that moment, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember the handwriting on the back. Shanxi is so big, where should I go to find you, my daughter!
I wonder if Wei Lai has gotten used to his new life? I wonder if she'll remember me? I wonder if she will be upset that I don't go to see her?
Ever since I became friends with Da Zhuang, he has become a regular visitor to my courtyard, and every now and then he will come to me with a fish and something. We would talk for an afternoon, and then he would stay and have dinner with me.
Da Zhuang's parents divorced at an early age, and he lived with his father, who was old and frail, and he became the pillar of the family. Although he was only in his twenties, he was as skilled at cultivating seafood as anyone else in the village.
His greatest dream was to one day have his own fishing boat, the kind that could go out to the open sea to fish. That afternoon he sat under my grape trellis, facing the sea, and said to me, "If there is a day, you will be my first mate, and we will go together to see what the depths of the sea are like!" When he said this, his expression was extremely sacred and solemn.
When Xiaoyu comes back on the weekend, she will definitely come to me, and sometimes when the mood comes, she will stir up two dishes for me herself, and we will have lunch or dinner together on the stone table under the grape trellis.
Ever since I made up that story to trick her, we seem to have become true opposite-sex friends. I'm glad she didn't discriminate against me, but was happy to associate with me. It's just that she never asked me about my past again.
I originally wanted to match her with Da Zhuang, although Da Zhuang has no culture, but he is a very good young man. If Xiaoyu follows him, although there is less poetry of the wind and snowy night, Da Zhuang will definitely not let her suffer, I firmly believe this.
But when they both expressed a lack of interest in my matchmaking, they gave up.
Fate is also a wonderful thing, a pair that seems extremely suitable to outsiders, but the parties don't think so.
I thought I finally understood what the old monk said to me when I left Tibet, and I think the so-called new life is probably the current state, and I seem to have really found it!
Every time I think of this, I can't help but be full of respect for him, it seems that he is really a master of the world, and he has already seen through everything. It's just that I don't understand what he said to me

What do you mean?
However, I am only a mortal after all, I can't see the future and I can't let go of the past, and I can only try to figure out the words of the saints, although I think the reality seems to be as consistent as he predicted, but it is somewhat sloppy.
If I could have had another pair of discerning eyes and be able to see what was going on, I would have known that this time I had still misjudged the so-called new students.
After taking everything away from me, God seems to have finally lost interest in me, and instead threw a bean of light at me, and I escaped this glimmer of light, wading through the thorns to clear the fog, and gradually found another life!
After a delivery to the county seat, I went to a supermarket to buy some daily necessities, and when I passed the shelves in the food section, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the seafood products placed on it, and saw the handwriting on the packaging bag, which was produced by the food company I supplied.
It was just a coincidence and I didn't think much of it, but I couldn't help but be taken aback when I saw the price card above. Needless to say, seafood has never been cheap, which I know, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive, which is completely beyond my understanding.
Compared with the same amount of seafood raw materials, the price is simply heaven and earth. Seeing this, my head suddenly flashed, my mind suddenly came alive, and a bold idea quietly rose in my heart!
If I just want to do my best to get a little welfare for the villagers, why can't I maximize it? Why can't I just produce these foods in one step? Wouldn't that be able to provide them with more benefits?
Thinking of this, I can't help but be taken aback by my own thoughts, starting a company is not something that can be done by buying a truck, thinking about my recent situation, this idea is undoubtedly a bit of a fool's dream!
For the next period of time, although I knew that this idea was too fanciful and unrealistic, I kept thinking about it in my heart, and I thought about it from time to time.
I even went to the workshop of the food factory to take a closer look at the production process and the equipment needed for the next delivery trip to the city, and I even silently wrote down the contact numbers of the manufacturers on those equipment.
When I got back to the car, I immediately called the equipment manufacturer to inquire about the price!
On the way back, I silently calculated in my heart that it would take about 600,000 yuan to build a small food processing plant and add some equipment on the basis of labor costs and supply of goods.
If the money can be raised, then the idea is not entirely fanciful, it is very possible, and I am very convinced of it.
I have already visited the whole production process in the food factory, and the process is not complicated, as long as the hygiene standards are met, it is not difficult.
Now the only question is how to get this money, I think it is better to go home and discuss this matter with Uncle Wang first, listen to his opinion, and see if he can get this money, but I don't have much hope in my heart for this matter, after all, 600,000 is not a small amount.
Sure enough, after listening to my thoughts, Uncle Wang fell into deep thought, and smoked with a cigarette bag and pot. I looked at his slightly furrowed brow, thinking that he didn't quite approve of my idea, and I felt a little lost in my heart.
"If you scrape together enough money, how sure are you that you'll succeed?" After a while, Uncle Wang looked up at me and asked.
I was stunned, and the feelings of loss that had just gathered were suddenly swept away.
It turned out that Uncle Wang was not thinking about whether my idea was feasible, but thinking about how to get the money! Apparently he didn't question my idea at all. I'm talking about it
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It made my heart a little excited.
"If I can scrape together this start-up capital, I think I have a good chance of succeeding!" I said excitedly.
Uncle Wang looked at me, and his expression became a little serious.
"Ah Shengzai, this is not a trivial matter, 600,000 is not a small amount for us, I don't want you to mess up. If you just feel that you have a great chance of success, I advise you to think about it carefully, if you are really sure, although 600,000 is not a small amount, it is by no means very difficult to make up enough. ”
I nodded silently, I naturally know what Uncle Wang meant. He was afraid that I would mess up the matter, and if I couldn't succeed, then I would have to bear the high debt of 600,000 yuan, and in my current situation, it would definitely not be an easy thing to pay off the 600,000 yuan.
"Uncle Wang, I know what you're worried about, but I really think this is an excellent opportunity. It's all right, and if it works, then our whole village will change dramatically. Although I can't say that it will be 100% successful, I have done market research, and the market can be said to be in short supply of this kind of seafood, and I have roughly figured out the entire production chain of food, and it is not complicated to operate. That's why I'm very confident in that. I feel like I can succeed. I said with confidence.
Uncle Wang carefully examined my expression, then nodded and said, "Ah Shengzai, I have always felt that you are a reliable young man, and I also believe that you can do this well!" You can talk to her after Xiaoyu comes back in two days, last time she told me that the state supports self-employed entrepreneurs and can provide generous loan conditions, I don't know much about the specific matters, when the time comes, you can go to her to understand, I think she should be able to help you. ”
Uncle Wang's words made me overjoyed, if I could really get this loan from the bank, then all the problems would no longer be a problem. I was excited to be able to start my first business.
I calculated the time, and it was the weekend in two days, and Xiaoyu would not be back in the village until two days. So I used my free time in these two days to go to the city again.
I wandered around several large supermarkets for a long time, focusing on the sales of various seafood products, and even specially asked the relevant regional shopping guides to find out. As I expected, this type of food is especially popular. Nowadays, people's living standards are generally improved, and customers don't care about the price of this high-end small food, compared with other types of food, the shipment of this seafood product is particularly high. This has definitely increased my confidence even more.
I went to the food factory again, and I stuffed a red envelope into the factory manager. Telling him that I wanted to have some in-depth knowledge and experience of their production process, he accepted my red envelope and readily agreed.
Even if he knew about my scheme, the whole industry was in a state where demand exceeded supply, and naturally I would not have any impact on their interests, so he had no reason to refuse me.
I even spent the day with their workers the next day, giving hands-on experience with the production process and processes.
The process is not complicated, the process is relatively simple, and there is no high-tech operation. The most important thing is the process of modulating and baking the taste of food, but it is not difficult, as long as you hire a professional seasoning master and baker in the industry, you can solve it properly.
And this is Linhai County, there are countless food factories, all of which are mainly processed seafood, and it is not difficult to hire such professional masters. Now as long as you can get a loan from a bank, it seems that everything will go smoothly.
