Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Mr. Liu thought for a moment and said, "I think the minimum number should be fifty or sixty. Even if you get half of the quota, it will at least provide employment for more than twenty people, and it will also give the military wives something to do and increase their income."

Chief of Staff Liu nodded, "Okay, I'll go back tonight and ask Meilan in person."

"Okay, then come over. We have something to discuss at the dinner table." Old Master Liu nodded. "I'll prepare some good wine and food!"

Mayor Tang heard that his daughter and Liu Meilan had arrived. It was already 4:30 in the afternoon and there was nothing important to discuss, so he called them to his office.

"What brings the two of you here together?" Mayor Tang smiled. "We are family. Stop beating around the bush. Just speak your mind!"

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and quickly poured a cup of tea for his father. "I just heard the magpie's call. Of course it's a good thing!"

Liu Meilan couldn't help but smile as she watched the intimate communication between Tang Xiaoyu and Mayor Tang, his father and daughter.

There is a reason why Tang Xiaoyu is favored at home and is the apple of Mayor Tang’s eye.

When his son got into a fight or quarrel with someone outside, he wouldn't even look at it.

After winning the fight, he pretended to scold him.

If he loses the fight, it's useless, he will have to kick it a few times when he gets home.

But if anyone bullied his little girl outside, Mayor Tang would write a thick note in his notebook.

The child is young and ignorant, so he won’t bother with him, but he will find an opportunity to punish the child’s parents.

"Oh, that's a good thing! That's even better!" Mayor Tang smiled, "I'm listening. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

On the one hand, Mayor Tang loves his daughter, but on the other hand, he also knows that his daughter will never put him in a difficult position.

Liu Meilan is more sensible and won't force anyone to do things against their will.

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Dad, you have been worrying about the employment problem of women on the island. Now we are going to build an ornamental fish farm. Meilan and I just discussed that after it is completed, it will be able to employ at least 60 people."

"These are not heavy physical labor, women can do them too! So we want to come and discuss with you where is the best place to build an ornamental fish farm!"

"Of course, don't worry, we won't make it difficult for you! We will pay whatever amount is due, and we won't do anything illegal or against discipline!"

Tang Xiaoyu had mentioned this matter to Mayor Tang before.

However, Mayor Tang did not take it seriously. He thought that Liu Meilan could already make a lot of money through seafood fishing, so why should she work so hard to engage in breeding?

There are huge risks in farming.

If you get sick, there is a high possibility that you will lose everything.

“Is the technology related to breeding ornamental fish reliable? If you don’t handle it well, you may lose all your money!”

Liu Meilan nodded, "We have already mastered the relevant technology! And we already have a very impressive number of broodstock. The next step is to build an ornamental fish farm, and the first thing we need to do is to choose a site."

"There are also requirements for site selection. We are on an island and there are often sea breezes passing through, so safety is the top priority. The construction of the ornamental fish farm must also be more solid and of military quality."

"Finally, our ornamental fish farm will be built in three phases! The first phase will be small in scale. If our sales are very good, we will build the second and third phase factories later."

“Therefore, the place we choose must have enough land for our future development, rather than a small place where we will be unable to expand the scale of breeding later!”

After listening to Liu Meilan's request, Mayor Tang stood up and walked to the two maps hanging on the wall of his office.

One is a map of the whole country, and the other is a map of the Sifang Island.

As the mayor of Sifang Island, he is very familiar with every street and every house on Sifang Island.

It is also very clear where there is vacant space.

Mayor Tang selected three places and pointed at them. "What do you think of these three places?"

Tang Xiaoyu grew up on Sifang Island and is very familiar with the place.

After Tang Xiaoyu's explanation, Liu Meilan finally knew where these places were.

Liu Meilan blinked and pointed to another place. "I don't think any of these three places are as suitable as this one!"

Mayor Tang was stunned when he heard this, and smacked his lips, "I can make the decision on these three areas, Meilan, but I can't make the decision on the one you are referring to! This is a military area! If you want to build an ornamental fish farm here, you have to go find your father!"

Liu Meilan was slightly startled. "That place seems to be very far away from the military camp!"

Mayor Tang replied: "The land was actually used to open a seafood processing factory to solve the employment problem of military wives. But due to sales problems, the profit was too little and it could not be continued!"

Hearing this, Liu Meilan suddenly realized, "Okay, then I'll go home and ask Dad about this. If possible, we'll use that piece of land. When we recruit workers, we'll recruit military wives to come and work, which can also be regarded as solving the employment problem of military logistics families."

Mayor Tang nodded, "Anyway, for the military district, this piece of land is dispensable. If it can help solve the employment problem of the family members, then this piece of land should be easy to take!"

After getting useful information from Mayor Tang, Liu Meilan and Tang Xiaoyu came out of the town government.

"Meilan, go home and talk to your father." Tang Xiaoyu didn't want to go over, after all, there might be interests involved here.

Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay!"

We parted at the intersection and waved goodbye.

When Liu Meilan arrived home, she didn't expect that her father was already there.

Zhang Xiufang was cooking in the kitchen, and the yard was filled with aromas, including the smell of chopped green onions and even seafood.

Liu Meilan rushed in, "Sister Xiufang, what delicious food are you going to make?"

Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "I made flower rolls with chopped green onion flavor. You all like seafood, so I made crab roe flavor. It's delicious." (Photo)

"I smell it." Liu Meilan washed her hands quickly after hearing this. She held the spring onion-scented roll in one hand and the crab roe roll in the other, taking a bite at each. "It smells so good. I'm dizzy from the smell."

Seeing that Liu Meilan liked it, Zhang Xiufang smiled happily.

She likes children who love to eat, and Liu Meilan is a person who knows how to enjoy delicious food.

Liu Meilan likes everything as long as it is delicious and is very supportive.

Now fried steamed bread slices have become a very common breakfast at home.

The three-fresh dumplings made with sweet shrimps are also very fragrant.

She also learned from her neighbors how to make shrimp dumplings, and the ones she steamed were no worse than those sold outside.

Now, I almost always eat breakfast at home.

If possible, she would buy a Cantonese and Fujian cuisine cookbook so that she could make more delicious dishes.

"Sister Xiufang, what else are we going to eat for dinner besides steamed buns?" Liu Meilan asked.

Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "I saw some good blue mackerel at home. I will make some Spanish mackerel dumplings later."

"Good!" Liu Meilan praised with a smile, "Sister Xiufang's cooking is especially delicious."

Liu Meilan was very happy after eating two steamed buns.

"Dad, why are you back? I just want to talk to you about something!" Liu Meilan poured a cup of tea for her father.

Chief of Staff Liu smiled and said, "I have something to talk to you about."

"Then you speak first." Liu Meilan was surprised. She didn't expect that one day she and her father would be so in tune with each other.

Chief of Staff Liu asked: "You are going to build an ornamental fish farm, which will require a lot of employees. Can you arrange for some military wives to work there?"

Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay. I have a problem now, which is the location of the farm. I've chosen a place in the military area, where you used to run a seafood processing plant. It's abandoned now and it's a waste to leave it there. Can you sell it to me?"

"Sure, we don't need it anyway." Chief of Staff Liu agreed on the spot, "Then your employees are generally at least military families."

"Okay!" Liu Meilan agreed, "Dad, how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Actually, we don't need so much money!" Chief of Staff Liu was telling the truth. No money was spent in the first place, so it would be a waste to just leave it there.

"Wait!" Old Master Liu stopped them, thinking it was necessary to remind them, "Zhengtao, have you forgotten? The higher-ups have been promoting that the military is not allowed to engage in business. If you sell the land directly to Meilan, don't you think there will be problems?"

Liu Zhengtao was stunned. "According to the market price, what's the problem?"

Old Master Liu glanced at his son and said, "I know you have no selfish motives, but the current market price may not be the future market price. Someone is making a fuss here. Since you are father and daughter, there is bound to be suspicion of profiteering."

After hearing what his father said, Liu Zhengtao also felt that it might not be a good idea to sell it directly to Liu Meilan.

At this time, Liu Meilan suggested, "Xiaoyu and I just went to the town government, and Mayor Tang said that he couldn't make the decision on that piece of land. But that piece of land is useless to the military region, so we can sell it to the local government, and then I can buy it from the government, isn't that right?"

"There are precedents for town governments to buy land. They just sell it at the market price. It doesn't make sense to sell it cheaply to others and very expensive to me. Although this is a little troublesome, at least there will be no future troubles and it won't become a stain for others to attack Dad."

Old Master Liu smiled and looked at Liu Meilan with a kind look, "Meilan, this is a good idea. The military is doing business, and it's hard to get rid of it. The higher-ups will definitely deal with it, otherwise it's hard to get rid of it. If you can do things in advance, there will be no trouble later."

Liu Zhengtao smiled and said, "Okay, let's sell that piece of land to the town government. It will be used to build a residential building for family members. This will allow more family members to come and live in a more spacious place."

"Yes!" Mr. Liu nodded. "Let's go back and discuss it with them. We can give them 30 job quotas in the early stage. I think Meilan and Xiaoyu can do a good job in this business. We will recruit more staff later."

Liu Zhengtao looked at Liu Meilan and asked, "Is that so?"

Liu Meilan nodded. "The most important reason for choosing that piece of land is that it is large, which will facilitate the subsequent expansion of the breeding scale. Dad, I think you should not tell your colleagues about this matter first, and let Mayor Tang come forward to talk to the army."

"When the time comes, you will ask us to build a factory here, provide job quotas, and arrange employment for military wives. I think this is more reasonable, Dad, what do you think?"

Liu Zhengtao nodded, "Yes, this is better."

Zhang Xiufang cooks Spanish mackerel dumplings, placing two on a plate, each one about the size of a palm. (Photo)

I’ve eaten dumplings made by Zhang Xiufang before, but I didn’t expect today’s Spanish mackerel dumplings to be so big.

"Sister Xiufang, are these... dumplings? It's rare to find such big dumplings without the skin breaking after cooking. That's amazing!"

Old Master Liu and Liu Zhengtao were also quite surprised, but since Zhang Xiufang had done a good job, they couldn't complain.

Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "The Spanish mackerel dumplings we have here are just this big. They are really satisfying to eat. Come and try them! If you don't like them, I won't make them anymore."

As he spoke, he brought the prepared sauce over.

Liu Meilan took a bite and her eyes lit up. She immediately took another big bite and gave a thumbs up, "Delicious, Sister Xiufang, delicious."

Grandpa Liu and Liu Zhengtao also ate some. It’s true that appearance doesn’t tell the whole story. The dumplings tasted really good.

"Xiufang, you've worked hard. The dumplings are delicious." Grandpa Liu said with a smile, "It takes a lot of skill to cook such big dumplings without breaking them!"

Seeing that everyone liked the food, Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "As long as you are used to it, that's good!"

Liu Meilan had just eaten two steamed buns and now she had eaten four Spanish mackerel dumplings and felt a little full.

Just as something happened, Liu Meilan went to find Tang Xiaoyu.

It's not dark outside yet, so just take a walk.

Tang Xiaoyu was having dinner at home. When he saw Liu Meilan coming over, he asked, "Meilan, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten." Liu Meilan replied, "You guys eat, I came to see Uncle Tang for something."

Mayor Tang smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll finish in a few minutes."

"Don't worry, take your time eating." Liu Meilan smiled softly, sitting on a small stool and teasing the Tang family's dog Dahuang. (Photo)

The purebred Chinese pastoral dog is very smart and easy to raise.

Every time Liu Meilan came over, Da Huang would come over and even bring his own litter of little yellow puppies over and put them in front of Liu Meilan. (Photo)

The puppy was very interesting and licked Liu Meilan's hand.

Liu Meilan would also touch their heads and play games with them.

The puppies were jumping up and down, looking very happy.

"Meilan, when the puppy is one month old, I'll give you one. Do you want one?" Tang Xiaoyu asked.

Liu Meilan smiled and asked, "Are you willing to do it?"

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I can't bear to give it to others, but I can bear to give it to you! I know the puppy will live well in your home."

Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay, I'll pick one when the time comes."

Mayor Tang finished his meal and went to the study.

Liu Meilan told Mayor Tang what she had discussed with her grandfather and father.

Mayor Tang nodded and said, "Meilan, what you are doing is indeed very good. There is no problem at all. Okay, I know the price of land on Sifang Island. I will go and negotiate with them. Once they have negotiated and sold it to the town, I will sell it to you."

Liu Meilan nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Tang, you can raise the price when the time comes!"

"It's OK if you don't raise the price," Mayor Tang said with a smile. "Real estate land is just a one-time income. Your farm is in our town. Although the tax revenue is not for our town government, the employment is here."

"Besides, companies often do charity work and donate money to relevant departments, which can also help the development of the town. The most important thing is that when we build the factory, we employ local people, who we know well."

There were people who wanted to invest in the past, but because there were military facilities on the site, Mayor Tang rejected them all.

National security is above all else. If our own people can invest and it does not affect the island, then it is fine.

The next thing will be left to Mayor Tang.

Looking at the last test before the college entrance examination, Xu Tiantian saw the failing score and fell into deep thought.

Xu Tiantian has deep eyes. She couldn't get into university, but she didn't want to live under the shadow of her parents. She also didn't want to work hard all her life but couldn't even afford nice clothes.

She decided to do something big, to find a way to make a living once and for all.
