Liu Meilan's eyes lit up. "I like to eat fish balls, but it's very difficult to make them, so I usually just forget it and buy some from outside."

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "After we get to the shore, my Shuyuan will go to junior high school, so I don't have to worry about her at all. I have nothing to do, so I will buy the freshest fish at home and make fish balls. When the time comes, I will send some to your family."

Liu Meilan nodded, "Thank you very much!"

At this time, the experienced Xu Kaifa reminded: "Meilan, we have been trawling for quite some time, we should raise the net."

Liu Meilan ended the conversation and started checking.

Upon seeing this, Liu Meilan was stunned. She didn’t expect that there were good things on the second network.

The hornnose fish is a diurnal fish that likes to forage during the day. It gathers in small groups to prey on zooplankton or bottom algae during the day and hides among the reefs at night. (Picture)

There are not many of them in this group, about seven in total, some big and some small. Could they be traveling as a family?

However, even the small ones weigh more than ten kilograms. The largest one is over one meter long and probably weighs seventy or eighty kilograms.

Adding other more diverse fish species, this net yielded quite a lot.

"Okay, Uncle Tang, lift the net." Liu Meilan agreed and asked Tang Changping to lift the net.

The cousin pushed Liu Meilan over to untie the net, hoping that Liu Meilan would bring good luck. The low- and medium-quality seafood on the previous boat left everyone with a lingering fear.

As long as Liu Meilan is not sleeping, as long as Liu Meilan is present, everyone else will step back and let Liu Meilan untie the net.

Fishermen are the most superstitious, and this superstition permeates every aspect of their lives.

People living by the sea can lie to everyone, but they will never lie to Mazu.

Liu Meilan did not spoil the fun and untied the net at everyone's urging.

Not only did a variety of seafood fall out of the fishing net, but huge hornfish also fell out with a "plop".

You don't need to look to know that a lot of fish have been smashed.

Everyone came over to take a look and exclaimed: "The hornnose fish are so big, and there are several of them!"

Liu Meilan reminded: "Everyone stop looking, and quickly check whether these hornnose fish are broken or not, and whether the fish below are broken or not."

There are also groupers and octopuses in this net!

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly worked together to get out seven hornnose fish of different sizes.

Except for a 20-pound hornfish that was stabbed by a crab, all the others were fine and were properly put into the fish hold.

This kind of fish is very expensive, especially the good quality ones, which are even more expensive.

Especially those three that weigh more than 50 kilograms are not sold by kilogram, but by piece.

On the one hand, it is because it is relatively rare, and on the other hand, it is because the hornnose fish is very special.

The meat of the hornnose fish is relatively firm, not as soft as some fish that melt in your mouth, but has a unique chewiness. The fish meat fibers are relatively coarse, which makes it not easy to fall apart after cooking.

Moreover, the horn fish does not have the heavy and rich seafood flavor of deep-sea fish, but has a lighter and more fragrant taste. This makes it taste more refreshing, which is easier to accept for some people who cannot tolerate the strong fishy smell.

All in all, this is a very popular fish that can be sold at a high price.

In order to return to port earlier, Liu Meilan concentrated highly and directed Xu Kaifa to drag the net towards where there were many fish.

For two whole days and two nights, Liu Meilan rested for no more than eight hours in total.

The boatmen took turns to rest, but because there were so many fish in the trawl, the total rest time was only ten hours.

Everyone is very tired, but when they think of the full warehouse of good fish, the fatigue will be dissipated a lot.

Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, we caught a lot of fish.

The next afternoon, Liu Meilan sent Tang Xiaoyu the list of catches.

Tang Xiaoyu was very nervous, fearing that even if Liu Meilan went out to sea with him, she would not be able to change the quality and grade of the seafood caught.

But when she read the entire list, Tang Xiaoyu was completely relieved.

Captain Meilan did not disappoint everyone!

The fishing boat arrived at the port at about ten o'clock in the evening.

Tang Xiaoyu looked up at the quartz clock in the office and immediately called the restaurant owner.

The local seafood restaurants are very unique. Most of the owners purchase the food themselves, not only because it involves a lot of money, but also because they feel more assured when they choose the ingredients themselves.

I don't feel safe handing it over to anyone.

Not only are they afraid of being cheated by purchasing goods, they are also more afraid of purchasing inferior goods as good ones, which will affect the restaurant's business.

The seafood this time was much higher quality, and the seafood produced by Sifang Island Seafood has always been of very good quality, with fairly standard grading.

It will only exceed the standard, never fall below the standard.

Unlike some fishing boats, those that are similar or slightly lower than the standard are also considered to be in a higher category.

There isn't much mixed in, so it's hard to pick out one by one, so you can only accept it with a pinch of your nose.

Therefore, all restaurant owners like to do business with Liu Meilan.

Good reputation and good seafood are what these buyers value most.

Of course, Sifang Island Seafood Fishing Company also has a rule.

After purchasing seafood, payment must be made the next day at the latest.

We settle each order one by one, leaving no chance or reason for buyers to default.

Because Tang Xiaoyu made it very clear that the fishing company also gives commissions to the boatmen based on each trip out to sea.

Since they have purchased and sold these seafood and made money, we must pay them as soon as possible.

Previously, there was a Mr. Li who did not pay for the goods. Not only did Tang Xiaoyu cut off the supply, but he also took legal action to collect the debt.

Not only do you have to pay every penny, but you also have to pay the overdue interest.

After that, Mr. Li was in a very miserable state. Not only did his family fall apart, but he also lost his business.

If anyone dares not to pay according to the regulations of Sifang Island Seafood Fishing Company, they will not be eligible to take the goods.

Although they didn't arrive until 10 o'clock in the evening, Mr. Yang's people had already rushed to the Sifang Island Seafood Fishing Company.

Come early to grab the best seat and get the best seafood.

Because their restaurant business is very good, and because the quality of the seafood last time was not high, it cost a lot to get it from outside, and most importantly, the taste is not as good as here.

This is strange. It is the same seafood and is caught at about the same time, so why is there a difference in taste?

This makes the buyers very puzzled.

People like Mr. Yang were just curious and didn't delve into it further.

They all believed that Liu Meilan had different methods and would not tell anyone such a secret.

However, Kogoro Inoshita, who opened 7 Japanese restaurants in Shenzhen, was very curious about this.

He even asked his translator to arrange for someone to enter the Sifang Island Seafood Fishing Company to inquire about relevant secrets.

However, after such a long time, Xiao Wu still hasn't found out the real reason, which makes Kogoro in the well very curious.

This time, Kogoro Jingxia also followed the translator, drank a cup of tea, and looked around the office.

I saw a very nice fish tank with various tropical ornamental fish in it. They were colorful and very beautiful.

For people living on an ocean island country, these marine ornamental fish are just a source of amazement and they don't pay too much attention to them.

His eyes followed the window to a large celadon jar in the yard.

The patterns on the vat are very mysterious, simple and elegant, and they show a very deep cultural heritage at first glance.

In recent years, due to the rapid development of Japan's economy, its self-confidence has risen again, and it pretends to be superior and disdainful in public.

But in their hearts they have always admired the Central Plains culture and even coveted it.

They took advantage of many inspection opportunities to secretly learn a lot, and then added some packaging to promote the so-called craftsmanship, and then resold it at a high price.

At this moment, Kogoro in the well looked at the large coarse porcelain jar with a very burning gaze. He felt that this thing was very Zen and had an indescribable "Tao".

Anyway, these people will use these labels to describe what they don't understand about Chinese culture.

Kogoro put down the teacup in the well, walked out, came to the large coarse porcelain jar, looked inside, and was immediately shocked.

"Oh my god! When did China breed such beautiful goldfish?"

The translator beside him saw that Jingxia Kogoro liked these, and pointed to the pond not far away: "In the pond over there, there are many lotus flowers blooming, and there are many koi in the water!"

Kogoro Jingxia was stunned. The Japanese also highly praised koi.

He hurried over and looked at the koi with graceful bodies and beautiful colors, feeling envious.

"Ask Manager Tang, where did you buy the goldfish in that big tank and the koi? How much did you buy them?"

This translator's work is relatively easy, but the salary is quite high.

Therefore, he would usually learn more about things related to Kogoro Jingxia.

Sifangdao Seafood Fishing Company is an important partner of Mr. Jingxia, and the Japanese restaurant’s business is also better because of these seafood.

Although Kogoro Jingxia did not praise the seafood openly, Zhang the translator knew that the seafood tasted good from the intoxicated expression on Kogoro Jingxia's face every time he tasted the seafood.

"Mr. Liu, the boss of Sifangdao Seafood Fishing Company, also owns a company called Sifangdao Ornamental Fish Farm. These colorful tropical ornamental fish, as well as the goldfish and koi in the tank, are all raised in this farm."

When Jingxia Kogoro heard this, his eyes lit up, "Can I go to that farm and take a look?"

"No!" Translator Zhang answered firmly.

"Why?" Jingxia Kogoro was curious, "I want to do business with them, and these goldfish and koi are very popular in my country, and my purchase volume should be large. Shouldn't they welcome me to visit the factory?"

Many Japanese businessmen invest here, and everything follows the same procedure.

Translator Zhang replied: "Because there is a naval base there, no one is allowed to go to the island. Even Chinese people have to go through layers of inspection."

Translator Zhang complained in his heart, doesn’t he know who he is?

Jingxia Kogoro suddenly realized, "I see, but I want to do business with them, how do I do it?"

Translator Zhang thought for a moment and said, "They have an ornamental fish store in Fuli Shopping Mall. There are many ornamental fish there. Why don't you take some time to go and have a look? Then if you are satisfied, talk to Manager Tang."

"Okay, let's go and take a look tomorrow." Kogoro Jingxia is very concerned. Although his business in Shenzhen is doing well, he has two sons, and the eldest son is in charge of managing the Japanese food store here.

Since my youngest son didn’t get into college, I have to find him a career.

Go to work? How much money can I make?

As an Osaka native, I would rather do business than go to work.

He has been looking for business opportunities all the time.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all major items that involve a lot, but the ornamental fish business also exists locally. However, if there are better ones with more suitable prices in China, we can definitely do this business.

At that time, you can buy a shop and sell ornamental fish and fish tanks and make a lot of money.

If things go well, you can also become an agent, purchase goods from China, and then sell them to other store owners, or continue to open a store.

At 10:15 pm, the fishing boat docked.

Wu Yong and Zhou Ze, two young men were also left behind from another boat to help the workers carry the seafood.

Because most of the seafood has been "divided up".

Now it’s just a matter of checking the grade and condition, then weighing and settling the bill.

Those who stayed behind to help transport the seafood often had to work for three or four hours, sometimes even longer, so Tang Xiaoyu and Liu Meilan decided to give them an extra hundred yuan.

If you work more, you should be paid more, so that people who work more can feel balanced. After all, it's not just once or twice, but every time.

If they don't want to do it, other people will be paid the same.

Liu Meilan and other boatmen returned to the canteen and drank seafood porridge. Then they returned to the dormitory, washed up and went to bed.

Everyone is too tired!

When I woke up the next day, it was already noon.

The cook went shopping in the morning and cooked a lot of delicious food. When the boatman got up, it was just in time for dinner.

Tang Xiaoyu packed four lunch boxes of food from the cafeteria. In the casserole in the kitchen, Ganoderma lucidum chicken soup was stewing.

Liu Meilan woke up and washed up lazily.

"Meilan, hurry up and wash up, it's time for dinner." Tang Xiaoyu chuckled, "Be sure to try the Ganoderma Lucidum Chicken Soup I made later."

Liu Meilan sniffed, smelling the fragrance in the air, and felt even hungrier. "I'll drink more later. I was too sleepy and tired last night, so I just drank a bowl of porridge and went to sleep."

Tang Xiaoyu chuckled and served Liu Meilan a bowl of soup. "There are eight dishes in the four lunch boxes. Some of them need to be heated up. Drink the soup first. It's very moist."

"Thank you, Xiaoyu." Liu Meilan thanked, "Xiaoyu, you will cook delicious food and will definitely be a good mother in the future."

Tang Xiaoyu laughed: "I can do it, but I have a career and can't do it every day. But it's still okay to show off my skills occasionally."

"Yes, Xiaoyu, even if you give birth to eight children, you should not resign." Liu Meilan joked. She and Tang Xiaoyu worked well together and had similar personalities.

For many things, Tang Xiaoyu didn't even need Liu Meilan to tell him. He just felt it was necessary to do them, so he did them all, and he was able to handle the work.

It’s not easy to find such a partner.

"Haha, I won't resign." Tang Xiaoyu nodded and smiled, "This is my confidence. If I can live with Ye Qiang in the future, then so be it. If not, my career can also provide me and my children with food and clothing. However, the eight children you mentioned are a bit exaggerated. I should be able to have two or three children."

"Aren't you afraid of family planning?" Liu Meilan asked.

Tang Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "I guess the fine will be very high, but Ye Qiang and his father will handle it, so I don't have to worry about it."

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Tang Xiaoyu looked through the cat's eye and saw a property management staff member of the residential complex, holding a bunch of bright and juicy lilies in her hand. "Hello, Sister Wang, what can I do for you?"
