Tang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Some people will raise the price, but they won't raise it too high! After all, we are on an island and we will meet each other sooner or later. When we auction the land, many people should know the inside story."

"If they raise the price too much, we can afford it, but if we don't want it, they may not be able to bear it! Besides, our island is indeed not suitable for most investment projects."

"Not only are there strict inspections for entry and exit, but all kinds of things are under surveillance, and doing business is restricted. Rather than spending a lot of money, offending us, getting the land, and not making any money, it's better to buy and build a house outside for investment."

Liu Meilan understood. "Okay, this is fine. It's just a formality. At least it looks fair. Although the land is not valuable, some people will not like it and will interfere."

Tang Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes! That's what my dad meant. We would rather spend more money than leave any tail behind."

"The bidding notice has been posted today. We can go there and take the photo the day after tomorrow. We have a lot of money in our account, enough for investment, don't worry."

Liu Meilan chuckled, "Of course, I still have my second brother's previous investment here, which has not been spent yet! I have a lot of money! You should pay more attention to the ornamental fish business."

Tang Xiaoyu nodded, "Well, I didn't expect the ornamental fish business to be so good. I decided not to travel with you. I will stay to look after the ornamental fish business. After we take over the land, we need to overhaul the factory, build a factory, and construct some facilities. If we are not here, many things cannot be decided, which will delay our time."

Liu Meilan felt a little guilty when she heard this, "Xiaoyu, everyone is on vacation and you are working. I feel bad about it."

"Compared to traveling, I want to make money more." Tang Xiaoyu smiled, "You give me 10% of the shares, I have to work hard and be worthy of the shares you give me. Okay, don't feel bad. The scenery is there, we can go there sooner or later, but the investment opportunity is fleeting, we have to seize it."

"As for traveling, if I can't go far, I might go to Hong Kong Island, or go to Thailand. My cousin has a colleague in Thailand, and she will take me on a trip. In short, don't worry, leave these to me, and you can travel happily."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Then please. Before I leave, I'll give you a letter of authorization. You can make all the decisions while I'm away."

"Thank you for your trust. I won't let you down." Tang Xiaoyu is now stimulated by the booming ornamental fish business. Nothing is more important than the ornamental fish business and the breeding farm.

With the news brought by Tang Xiaoyu, Liu Meilan was also very happy. She finally had new business income.

The next day, Liu Meilan had just finished breakfast and had nothing to do, so she prepared to go fishing.

When passing the dock, I met Liu Meixiang.

"Mei Xiang, why are you here? Is there something wrong?" Liu Meilan was curious, "Did something happen to my second uncle and second aunt?"

Liu Meixiang shook her head, her eyes slightly red. "Sister Meilan, I saw my parents weaving fishing nets day and night, just to save more money for my living expenses, so that I can live decently in college."

"I don't want them to work so hard, but fishing is too dangerous. My parents won't let me go, and I can't make much money. Sister Meilan, can you recommend a summer job for me?"

Hearing this, Liu Meilan smiled and said, "You want to reduce the burden on your family, that's a good thing, don't cry. Isn't it just looking for a job? Wait, I'll go find Xiaoyu."

Liu Meilan may not be able to do the company's work, but the ornamental fish sales store is very busy, so it is a good idea to arrange Liu Meixiang to be there.

Liu Meixiang burst into laughter and said, "Sister Meilan, whether it's serving dishes or mopping the floor, I can do it."

Tang Xiaoyu was just about to go to the town government when he saw Liu Meilan coming over. He immediately understood why they were there.

"Why would you work for someone else? We are so busy every day in the ornamental fish store at Fuli Shopping Mall. I wanted to hire someone, but I was worried that the customer flow would decrease after the summer vacation, so I wouldn't need so many employees. Summer job would be the best choice."

"Mei Xiang, go back first and explain everything to your family. Don't let them worry. The day after tomorrow morning, we'll take the nine o'clock boat to the city. I'll take you there. There's a staff dormitory. You can bring your bedding with you. You don't have to find another place. You'll be safe in the dormitory."

Liu Meixiang quickly thanked them, "Thank you Sister Xiaoyu, thank you Sister Meilan. I will work hard and will never be lazy."

"I believe you can do a good job." Tang Xiaoyu smiled, "Okay, I'm going to the town government. Meilan, are you going with me?"

Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead. I'm going to use our small wooden boat to go fishing and get some seafood. If you catch a lot, I'll call you to come to my house to pick it up."

Tang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly urged, "That's great, I'll wait for your seafood. Remember, you can only use fish hooks, not fishing nets, shrimp cages, or longlines."

"I know this better than you." Liu Meilan smiled and said that they went out to sea today just to eat, not to make money.

After sending Liu Meixiang on board, Liu Meilan took Liu Yibang and rowed out to sea.

Liu Meilan sighed as she rowed, as if rowing and fishing was something that happened a long time ago.

Liu Yibang wore a conical hat and wrapped his cheeks with a white towel to expose his face, and he did a good job of sun protection.

Liu Meilan took better measures to protect herself from the sun, wearing a sunscreen face towel and shawl that covered her face and neck.

"Meilan, you have been rowing for an hour. When will you find a fishing spot?" Liu Yibang wanted to row the boat for his sister, but rowing is a technical job and he could only go around in circles.

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "We'll be there soon!"

Just now, she found a good fishing spot with many red groupers (picture)

The red grouper has a smooth texture and it seems to melt in your mouth! Whether it is steamed or braised, it can retain its unique flavor, which is really intoxicating.

Liu Meilan likes to eat it, so she caught this today.

A few minutes later, Liu Meilan arrived at the fishing spot and said, "Third brother, it's time to fish."

Liu Yibang was delighted. He quickly threw the baited hook into the water and slowly let out the fishing line.

Liu Meilan disliked the trouble of using a fishing rod, so she just used her hands to fish. After all, she was wearing gloves, so her hands would not be pinched.

Originally, Liu Meilan thought that "Air Force" was the label of the third brother, but she didn't expect that Liu Yibang would take the bait as soon as she put it down today.

I have to say that Liu Yibang had good luck today. He caught a red grouper in just one minute.

The key point is that this one is not small, weighing two kilograms, which is considered to be a relatively large red grouper.

Liu Yibang was very happy, "I didn't expect to have such good luck today!"

Liu Yibang carefully cut off the fish and placed it in a live water tank.

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Since you are lucky, then you can catch more! We have a large family, and we have to give some to the small fish. Come on, Third Brother."

Liu Yibang nodded, "If I couldn't catch any fish, I might not have the energy to do it. Now that I've caught some, I won't feel tired even if I fish all day long."

The sea seemed to have heard Liu Yibang's words. When his fishing line and hook fell into the sea, it took the bait again two minutes later.

Liu Yibang smiled and asked, "What kind of fish is this?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "No one knows until the fish comes out of the water!"

Liu Meilan also caught a fish at this time, also a red grouper.

By the time Liu Meilan put the fish into the live water tank, the fish caught by Liu Yibang had already been pulled out of the water.

"I know this thing, it's grouper." Liu Yibang smiled and said he had eaten it before.

Liu Meilan took a look and said, "That's the swallowtail spotted one who looks a bit like the Dongxing class!"

"Which one tastes better?" Liu Yibang was stunned. Why did they think they were the same?

Liu Meilan smiled and replied: "The grouper is better and more expensive! Of course, the swallowtail grouper tastes great too!"

"As long as it tastes good!" Liu Yibang smiled happily. In fact, for him, he would be happy as long as he could catch fish.

There is nothing more interesting than fishing, at least more interesting than playing chess, and you can't win, otherwise the old man will be very upset.

Liu Meilan caught fish again.

This time it was an octopus, which was quite big and very fresh.

Put it in another live water tank and decide to make a cold dish in the evening. The cold octopus in summer is especially delicious.

Liu Yibang went fishing for the third time and caught a fish that was over 20 centimeters long. He didn't recognize it, "Meilan, what kind of fish is this?"

Liu Meilan turned her head and took a quick look and knew, "That's the bone mackerel, also known as the Japanese horse mackerel. This fish is not big, it's a small fish." (Photo)

"Is it delicious?" Liu Yibang took it off. If it tasted good, he would keep it. If it didn't, he would just throw it away.

"It's delicious, the meat is tender and fragrant, the fish meat is thick and fresh. There is a very special way to eat this kind of bone fish, which is called overnight drying."

"The bone mackerel that has been hung up to dry for a day and a half is lightly coated with a thin layer of salt to keep it fresh, which can make the fish meat more flavorful and more elastic. The fat on the fish is not greasy and has a salty and fragrant flavor. It is very delicious when grilled over charcoal or fried in oil."

Hearing what Liu Meilan said, Liu Yibang listened carefully and said with a smile: "Hearing what you said, I want to eat it. I hope we can catch more, so that it is worth roasting more at one time for everyone to eat."

Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay, these bonefish usually come in groups. If we can catch one, we can catch more. Let's move quickly."

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Meilan finished speaking, she also caught a bonefish.

This kind of fish tastes good when made into sashimi.

Today's catch was pretty good, mostly several types of grouper, the most common of which was this bonefish.

At noon, Liu Meilan felt a little hungry, so she took out a large lunch box from her bag, which contained the pastries she had brought with her.

"Third brother, are you hungry?" Liu Meilan asked.

Liu Yibang nodded. "I've been busy all morning, so of course I'm hungry. What delicious food did you bring?"

Liu Meilan opened the lunch box and said, "Try the radish cake. Just eat a little and we'll go fishing in another place. We'll go back at three and prepare something delicious tonight." (Photo)

"I like radish cake the most." Liu Yibang smiled, took one and put it in his mouth, "It's very delicious, Meilan, you must know that I like to eat radish cake, so I brought it here on purpose."

When Liu Meilan heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She really didn't know.

Just because she likes to eat it.

Since Third Brother thinks so, let’s just do it.

This is a white lie.

"Mom did." Liu Meilan smiled, "By the way, Mom said that the graduation ceremony is over today. We can come over in the evening! Mom has worked hard these years, let's make something delicious to reward her in the evening."

"Okay, I'll help you." Liu Yibang listened to his sister in everything. After all, he didn't know as much as his sister.

After eating radish cake and drinking some herbal tea, Liu Meilan started rowing to a new fishing spot.

After catching a few yellow croakers and perch, the live water tank was full and they prepared to go home.

These fish are enough to feed our family for a long time.

When they reached the shore, Liu Meilan saw someone selling snails and bought some.

There were also people selling clams, which were also bought by Liu Meilan. (Photo)

My mother likes to eat clams, which are small and taste great after being stir-fried.

Liu Meilan and Liu Yibang carried two buckets and bought two more buckets so that they could have a seafood feast today.

When they got home, Liu Yibang smiled and said, "Meilan, take a rest while I wash up. When we're done, we'll cook together."

"Okay!" Liu Meilan took a shower and changed clothes.

After coming out, I saw my grandfather’s new guard Xiao Feng cleaning seafood with Xingbang.

At this time, Professor Xie came into the house carrying a lot of small cakes.

"Mom, you've worked hard. Take a rest and I'll pour you some cold tea." Liu Meilan felt a little distressed when she saw that her mother had lost a lot of weight.

Professor Xie has been very busy with work recently, and has also been affected by Liu Yiwen's incident.

However, when he saw his daughter with curly hair, Professor Xie smiled, as if the dark cloud over his head was diluted by his daughter's bright smile.

"Okay." Professor Xie took the herbal tea his daughter poured. It wasn't that sweet, but it tasted good. "Are you going out to sea today?"

Liu Meilan nodded. "Yes, we went out to sea. I have nothing to do at home, so I'll get some seafood to satisfy my hunger."

"Then I'm in for a treat tonight." Professor Xie said with a smile, and found a hair band to tie up his daughter's hair. The loose bun looked cute and lively.

At this time, Liu Meilan remembered Chen Shuhua's request, "Mom, Chen Shuhua, do you know Chen's eldest daughter? She is the student with particularly good grades. After the college entrance examination, her estimated score is 720-730. I don't know much about her future major, so I want to ask you about it."

"With such a high score, you must be an excellent student! Are you majoring in liberal arts or science?" Professor Xie asked.

Liu Meilan replied: "Science! In the second and third mock exams, I got full marks in math, physics, chemistry and biology. I think it will be similar this time."

"She's a genius." Professor Xie was surprised. "Okay, when she's free, I'll talk to her. Such a good student will be good at anything in the future. The key is what she likes, what she's good at, and what kind of work she wants to do in the future, so that I can give her some advice."

"Okay!" Liu Meilan nodded. "Then after we finish our meal, we can take a walk over there and go to her house."

Professor Xie nodded, "Okay, let's go over and take a look. It might be our top scorer this year."

My mother came over today, and Zhang Xiufang steamed a pot of big steamed buns, one of which was filled with French bean paste, which was very delicious.

The steamed bun was bigger than her face. Liu Meilan and her mother each took half and were already half full.

"Your grandma is also very good at steaming buns. When you get there, ask her to make you some steamed buns."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Okay! What does my grandma like? I want to give her a gift."
