Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

He Daqing and his group watched everyone picking and sorting seafood at the beach until dark, when they followed Village Chief Wu back to the village.

In the evening, Village Chief Wu arranged a very sumptuous seafood dinner for everyone.

But when these things were served, not only Li Huaide and his group, but even He Daqing frowned.

There are all kinds of seafood in this pot, but they are all cooked together in one pot with basically no seasoning.

Li Huaide and his friends didn't recognize some of the things at all, so Village Chief Wu asked everyone to eat together.

As he said this, he grabbed a small octopus and started biting it.

This made Li Huaide and his companions feel uncomfortable and they couldn't eat at all.

He Daqing frowned a little, thinking that it was a waste to cook such good seafood in this way.

But he also knew that the current fishermen's families were in such a condition. Many families could not afford oil at all, and even if they bought soy sauce, they could only eat it during the New Year and other festivals.

This is the authentic way of eating it.

Thinking of this, He Daqing also picked up an octopus, dipped it in a little soy sauce brought by Village Chief Wu, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Li Huaide looked at He Daqing, then at the seafood in the basin, but still couldn't bring himself to eat it. He could only go back to the car and take out the steamed buns he brought to share with everyone.

Village chief Wu took the steamed buns given to him and packed them up carefully. He had not seen steamed buns made of white flour for a long time. He wanted to save them for his children at home.

After dinner, Village Chief Wu found a few houses for them in the village so that they could rest for a while and discuss the specific matters tomorrow.

In the evening, Li Huaide gathered everyone together to discuss the matter.

Li Huaide said first: "As everyone has seen today, I don't think there is much hope of purchasing high-quality seafood. Do you have any other ideas?"

He Da had a plan for this matter long ago, so he continued, "In fact, I have said long ago that our goal this time is not the seafood that was handed over. We can just purchase the small fish and shrimp that they don't like."

"Everyone has seen it today at the dock. They don't care about those things at all. When the time comes, we can buy them in large quantities and they can be much cheaper."

Feng Tao, deputy director of the purchasing department, also said: "Director Li, don't be fooled by their high-sounding words now. In the future, as long as we increase the price a little bit, I guarantee that there will be many people who secretly sell us good things. Don't worry about this."

Li Huaide nodded and said, "Okay, then let's negotiate a cooperation agreement with them this time and buy some small fish and shrimps first. In the future, your purchasing department should build a good relationship with them and try to get as much high-quality seafood as possible."

In the evening, after everyone had discussed it, they found Village Chief Wu the next day to discuss the purchase.

For Village Chief Wu, it makes him very happy that someone is willing to buy the small fish and shrimps that he doesn't need.

Finally, everyone discussed for a while and decided to sell all the small fish, shrimp, crabs, shells, etc. to the steel mill at the price of one cent per pound.

And they come twice a week.

Village Chief Wu obviously knew that his small fishing village could not meet the huge demand, so he contacted a neighboring village and the two villages jointly supplied them with fish.

After agreeing on these things, He Daqing took Feng Tao from the purchasing department and Village Chief Wu and a few others to the beach and explained to them what they could and could not accept.

Then a group of people would wait for the fishing boats to come back in the afternoon so that they could directly purchase the catch.

In the afternoon, when the fishermen heard that someone was willing to buy the small fish, shrimps, crabs and other things they caught along the way, they were all very happy.

In the past, these things were used to feed chickens and ducks, but now they can be exchanged for money. Everyone regrets not bringing enough when they returned.

So some people would row their boats out again after selling their catch and set up nets to fish again nearby.

He Daqing, Li Huaide and others, under the leadership of Village Chief Wu, also secretly purchased a lot of seafood that was originally sent to the commune.

Seeing that everyone was busy, He Daqing found Village Chief Wu, gave him a pack of cigarettes, borrowed a small boat, and rowed it himself to search the nearby waters.

He has his own space, and can store things within a ten-meter radius directly. If he doesn't come to the sea to do some shopping, he will be sorry for his special ability.

Rowing the boat, He Daqing used his psychic powers to constantly observe the situation on the seabed.

The water here is only about ten meters deep, but the species in the sea are very rich.

It seems that the coastal waters have not been polluted yet and there are still plenty of resources in the sea.

He Daqing is not picky. As long as he likes someone, he will use his spatial ability to collect them.

Small yellow croaker, hairtail, crab, sea cucumber, etc. He Daqing almost accepted everything.

Soon, his space was filled with a large pile of seafood, which would be enough for his family to eat for a year or two.

Seeing that it was almost time, He Daqing didn't dare to stay on the sea for too long.

It is now completely dark and I can only see a few lights at the pier in the distance. If I don’t go back, I will really be lost in the vast ocean.

So he rowed the boat and quickly headed towards the pier.

When he returned to the dock, Li Huaide, who had been waiting anxiously, ran over and said, "Master He, you are finally back. If you don't come back, we are going to organize people to look for you in the sea."

He Daqing said apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone. I've never seen the sea since I was a child. This time I finally have the chance, so I want to go play on the sea. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"When we get back later, I'll cook a seafood meal for everyone to calm you down. Is that okay?"

A few people who had some objections at first shouted happily when they heard that He Daqing was going to cook seafood: "That's great. I didn't expect that we could also taste Director He's cooking skills. Then I must eat more."

The others also clapped and cheered.

Li Huaide actually wanted to eat the seafood made by He Daqing for a long time, but with so many people coming this time, he was too embarrassed to ask.

Now that he heard that He Daqing was willing to do it, he was also very much looking forward to it.

So the group picked some seafood at the dock and followed He Daqing back to the village.

For this reason, Village Chief Wu gave his own kitchen to He Daqing, allowing him to give full play to his abilities.

He Daqing was not polite either. He took Xiao Zheng and the young comrade from the security department and started to pack up these things that were of no value in the eyes of the fishermen.

He Daqing did this to give Li Huaide and these people some confidence. Otherwise, even though they purchased a lot, no one knew whether they could eat it.

Seeing He Daqing busy all the time, Li Huaide and others were looking forward to the seafood dinner.
