Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Zhao Qin hid in a corner, observing the tourists' reactions and looking for areas that needed improvement.

Almost every snack in the snack street was ordered by him personally.

He didn't know how to make octopus balls himself, so he invited a master from Zhuhai to train him.

As for using meal tickets, it was Dad's idea.

Why not contract out the snack stand?

This involves the problem of uneven distribution of benefits. If there is no profit, no one in the village will be willing to work. If there is profit, everyone will fight for the stall.

It was decided that the whole thing should be under the control of the village collective, and the staff at each stall would be trained and paid the same salary.

"Lao Jiang, let's shoot here for a while." The camera was set up relatively hidden. Originally, I just wanted to shoot a few artists eating here.

I didn't expect so many tourists to come all of a sudden. It's a good thing that I can take more realistic photos.

But the plans of several artists to show up here and eat something fell through. If they really showed up, it would definitely cause a commotion. There were many children at the scene, and it would be bad if they got bumped into anything.

Lao Jiang gave Zhao Qin a thumbs up and said, "Boss Zhao, I think this matter has been accomplished."

Of course, he was referring to the village-run tourism project.

"It's too early to say whether it will be a success now. We need to see its ability to attract tourists in the long term. Also, the construction of the village is still too monotonous."

Compared to a city in Hainan that has been developed into a tourist attraction, they are just a village and are still a bit thin.

We also need to be on guard against one thing: once our village becomes prosperous, people in other villages may become unbalanced and deliberately sabotage it.

These days there are definitely people who wish you the best, but there are even more people who wish you the worst.

Xiaojuan and her group did not notice Zhao Qin and the camera. Although they were not all very satisfied with the meal, they were definitely full.

"Xiaojuan, why don't you go back and take a nap?" said one of the fatter men, who was an editor.

I usually neglect exercise. I feel like I walked more distance this morning than I did in half a month. Now that I'm full, I feel even more lazy.

Several people agreed with his proposal. After all, everyone came out to relax and didn't want to be chased around like a duck.

"No, we still have to go fishing." Xiaomei was the first one to disagree. When you go out to play, time is precious.

Seeing that both sides held different opinions, Xiaojuan smiled knowingly and said, "Let's go to the beach together. If you want to rest, there are places to rest there.

By the way, have you heard of the richest man in our village?"

Xiaomei chuckled, "Not only have I heard of him, but I also saw him this morning, Zhao Qin, right?"

"Yes, let me tell you, he wasn't...rich before." Xiaojuan almost said something wrong, saying that he was not very decent before.

"Oh, then how come he is so rich?"

"I wasn't in my hometown before, but if you ask any villager, you will know that he made his first pot of gold by fishing. The beach we are going to next is

That’s where he had his first big harvest. I heard he picked up a lot of sea cucumbers and conchs there and sold them for tens of thousands of yuan.”

If we go back further, we will find that Zhao Qin's first batch of clams were also dug there.

Of course, Zhao Qin would not let the tour guide say these words. Xiaojuan simply asked around to show off and to increase everyone's enthusiasm for going to the beach.

"Oh, so it's a rich place. I have to go and check in."

Walking to the side of the store, Xiaojuan called out, "Master Zhu, one bottle of mineral water for fourteen people."

Old Zhu's father came out dragging a small cart, first putting some water on it, then a sand shovel and a small bucket for fishing. "Xiaojuan, I see there are quite a lot of people, you are the first batch."

"I guess they will be here soon, so we'll have dinner early."

After Xiaojuan counted the items, she signed the list and took the signed list to the village office to ask for money for the mineral water. The sand shovel and bucket had to be returned later.

"Xiaojuan, let me help you." One of the men took the initiative.

"No, you're a guest, how can I let you do that? It's not heavy at all, let's go."

Pulling the cart along the newly built path, everyone came to the beach not far away. Xiaojuan pointed to the side, where there were many lounge chairs with big umbrellas above them.

"Everyone, if you want to rest, you can do so here. It's not cold now, and it would be nice to have a good sleep with the sea breeze. Call us when we leave."

Following her words, everyone ran to the recliners.

Lying down, several people moaned comfortably.

"Don't call me, I want to lie down forever, it's too comfortable." Xiaomei murmured, forgetting that she was just shouting happily at Ganhai.

Wang Shanshan did not object this time. She also felt that this moment was very enjoyable.

Xiaojuan looked at everyone with a smile, unpacked the box of water from the cart, and gave each person a bottle.

At this time, more people came over one after another, and the more than 30 lounge chairs were quickly occupied. Some people even stood aside waiting.

Some children actually started crying loudly because there were no reclining chairs.

Seeing this, Wang Shanshan struggled to get up and said to everyone, "Let's go, let's go to the sea."

As they entered the sea-hunting area, Xiaomei handed out tools to everyone while reminding them, "Everyone, cooperate and don't go into the sea."

"Wow, there are clams, and they are quite fat." Someone couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"How did you dig it? Did you just dig it randomly?"

"If you see a breathing hole, dig down along the hole." Someone with experience in sea fishing gave everyone some advice.

"Wow, I dug a crab. Xiaojuan, is this crab edible?"

"This is a sand crab. There is not much meat when it is steamed, but if you pick a lot, it is still very fresh and sweet when used to make porridge."

This is a real man-made attraction. The clam seedlings here were planted two years ago.

Of course, the villagers also know that these clams will probably be plowed clean by tourists in half a month, so they have a way to deal with it.

Every two nights, another batch of finished clams will be scattered.

This thing is very cheap now, a small one costs a few cents, and a large one is just over one dollar, but the feeling is different when tourists dig it out by themselves.

As several groups of people arrived, the beach became more lively.

Wang Shanshan did not rush to the beach anymore, but took out her camera and started taking pictures.

Some are immersed in the joy of harvest, while others are just strolling on the soft beach.

Some brought their children with them, holding smaller plastic sand shovels, and shoveled sand into various shapes. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and joyful.

From the time she took the minibus in the morning to now, she is quite satisfied with this trip.

The village’s care and effort are reflected everywhere.

In the distance, several small boats were setting up nets. Xiaojuan reminded everyone, "Are there any strong men who can help pull the nets?"

"Yes, yes, I can do it." Someone volunteered.

Xiaojuan handed them life jackets and said, "Don't go into the deep water. Follow the villagers in our village."

Soon, the entire beach was filled with the sight of nearly a hundred people pulling a large net together.

"You can pick the seafood in the net later. Everyone helped pull the net, so the seafood you pick is all free. I hope everyone can promote the virtue of humility and don't fight over it."

Everyone was quite surprised. They originally thought that the villagers were fishing, but they didn't expect that the net was also pulled for them.

This net was also strange. It actually encountered a school of fish near the shore, but they were all small anchovies, weighing several hundred kilograms.

Villagers usually dry this kind of fish or make fish sauce at home. Of course, it can also be sold to farms as feed.

But these fish are very happy for the people who come to play.

"Wow, they're all fish."

"I saw a big one."
