Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 154
Xu An and Xu Guosheng saw dozens of people gathered under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village from a distance, and the uproarious voice could be heard for several miles.The most conspicuous among them was the figure in the middle of the crowd who was taller than the others, with snow-white hair neatly tied behind his head with a black hair rope.
Xu An and the two looked at each other, and said the same sentence at the same time: "Second Grandpa is back (Second Uncle is back)!"

After saying that, the two quickened their pace, walked into the crowd, squeezed to the front of the crowd, and found that it was not only Second Grandpa and Xu Dongliang who came back, there were five strangers standing beside them.

The leader was a man of about 50 years old who was about [-] years old. He had a resolute appearance, sharp eyes, and a wordless coercion.However, on the exposed parts of his face, neck, arms, etc., the sun exposure marks that have been exposed to the sea all year round can be clearly seen.

But although the four people behind this person are also a bit dark, they still look refined overall, not like fishermen who go to sea all the year round.And they don't look very old, at most they are three or four years older than Xu An.

No matter how you look at it, such a combination of five people feels a little weird.

The second grandfather should have introduced the identities of the five people just now, and now seeing Xu An and Xu Guosheng coming over, he introduced them triumphantly: "This is Professor Yu Zhongmingyu we met during our investigation, these four are all The students he brought are mainly doing research on sea farming, and they are now working on a new project of 'sea ranching'. I heard that the conditions here are good, so come and have a look."

These words were spoken incomparably fluently, and I don't know how many times Second Grandpa had to recite them silently in his heart to have the current effect.

"Hello, Professor Yu!"

"Hello, hello!"

"."

After the two sides exchanged meaningless greetings, Professor Yu seemed impatient, and turned to look at Second Grandpa: "Mr. Xu, let's go and see the tidal flat you mentioned?"

"Hey, okay!" The second grandfather took out a key from his trouser pocket and threw it to Xu Guosheng: "I will leave the driving task to you."

Afterwards, the second grandfather, five people including Professor Yu, and Xu Guosheng got into a van and drove to the beach in the southeast corner of Qianhai Town.Other people in the village who wanted to watch the fun went back home one after another. Bicycles, tricycles, and electric cars were all started. The whole village followed the van in a big way, attracting a lot of melon eaters to follow.

With such excitement to watch, Xu An naturally wouldn't let it go, and followed behind on his family's electric tricycle, and drove to the tidal flat together.

Professor Yu got out of the car, glanced at the tidal flats, then turned back to the car, took out a large suitcase from inside, opened it, and found everything from rubber waders to gloves and glasses.

In a short while, Professor Yu was fully dressed, walked down the tidal flat, bent down from time to time, picked up a handful of mud and put it under his nose to smell, and directed the four students behind him to sample the tidal flat.

Xu An stood with Uncle Dongliang, and now everyone's attention was on Professor Yu and his four students. Xu An finally found a chance to ask Uncle Dongliang, how they knew Professor Yu, and how they made Professor Yu to bring back.

Asked about this, Uncle Dong Liang swept away his tired face, and began to talk non-stop.

During this inspection trip, Second Grandpa and Uncle Dongliang went to three coastal provinces in total, and visited seven or eight households of fishermen who made their living from sea farming. The jumping fish, abalone, prawns, oysters, etc. All the breeding was visited.

The last fisherman investigated was engaged in oyster farming. The breeding base was in the middle of the sea, and they needed to go there by boat. Professor Yu and his four students were also on the boat.Xu Dongliang saw that they didn't feel like fishermen, so he used his natural skills of "talking to people and talking nonsense", leaned over to make friends with them, and got Professor Yu's details in a few words.

After learning that Professor Yu is a professor who specializes in marine aquaculture, he cheekily went to ask about matters related to marine aquaculture.After asking, Professor Yu became interested in the tidal flat in Qianhai Town, and finally followed him here.

At the end, Xu Dongliang lowered his voice, leaned into Xu An's ear and said, "Professor Yu is doing research on 'sea ranch', and now he just wants to find a suitable place. If we are stationed here, we can also get a professor to guide us for nothing."

Although what Uncle Dongliang said was serious, the whole process was tight.But based on Xu An's knowledge of their two lifetimes combined, Professor Yu was definitely coaxed by the second grandfather.The picture is the last sentence just now, I hope the professor can stay here and give them guidance.

But this can be regarded as a skill, there is no right or wrong in what you love and what I want.

The conversation between Xu An and Xu Dongliang was heard clearly by a man with a big belly who appeared behind them at some point.The man took out his mobile phone, opened the browser, and entered the words 'Professor Yu, Sea Ranch', a dozen web pages popped up, and he clicked on the first web page to enter.

'Yu Zhongming, a professor of the Department of Aquaculture of National Ocean University, has solved several kinds of marine biological breeding problems'

"This man is so powerful!" The man murmured with a pensive look on his face, Mosuo moving his chin from side to side: "So this is planning to set up a sea ranch in Qianhai Town? If this is true, maybe he can follow Have some soup!"

Although the man's words were small, Xu An's hearing was very good, and he accurately captured the key words in the man's words. He glanced at the man calmly, and suddenly a storm arose in his heart. He not only recognized this man, but also clearly You know, in his previous life, he was the one who led the jumping fish farming.

At this point in time, there are still many years before he engaged in farming in his previous life, but he is not sure when this person came up with this idea.If he cuts off the beard, maybe the ending will be the same as the previous life.
Thinking of this, Xu An squeezed through the crowd, squeezed to the side of Second Grandpa, put his toes up to Second Grandpa's ear, and said in a low voice: "Second Grandpa, is this movement too loud? If others know our plan, what should we do if we are cut off?"

"Haha!" The second grandpa let out a hearty laugh after hearing this, slapped Xu An's body vigorously with his big palm like a cattail leaf fan, looked at Xu An with relief and said, "Not bad, good, more and more able to stand on Xu An's body." It is right to think about the problem from the perspective of the family village. Although our Xu family village is small, we have the same people, and we all work together with one heart and energy, and the future will not be bad."

After praising Xu An, the second grandfather also lowered his voice, and leaned sideways to Xu An's ear: "I have already registered the name of this land with several leaders in the city, and the above are also very supportive. Now I will wait for the professor's side." After confirming that there is no problem, we can formally sign the contract.”

"I'm not afraid of this matter, just in case. I saw a lot of people talking about it just now. Maybe they have moved their minds."

Hearing Xu An's words, Second Grandpa suddenly raised his head and looked around. He did see a lot of people whispering together in groups of three or three, and his heart became vigilant.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. When I go back tonight, I'll arrest Uncle Dongliang to write a report and submit it as soon as possible." Second Grandpa made a decision immediately.

Xu An looked at Xu Dongliang with sympathy in his eyes, I'm sorry, Uncle Dongliang, I sacrificed you alone to make the whole Xujia Village happy.

While the two were talking, Professor Yu and four students came up with large and small bags of samples. The second grandfather quickly left Xu An and stepped forward to take the samples from them.When picking up the sample, it was completely contrary to the rough appearance of the second grandfather, and the technique was extremely gentle, as if picking up a newborn baby.

"Professor Yu, how is this tidal flat?" Xu Dongliang, who didn't know what he was going to suffer tonight, squeezed over and asked when he saw Professor Yu coming up.

Xu An noticed that the man with a big belly also came behind Xu Dongliang.

"Not bad." Professor Yu lowered his head and took off his muddy rubber pants, and said with a smile in his tone: "The ecology is pretty good, and there doesn't seem to be any pollution. The current situation looks pretty good."

"Is that possible?" The remaining half of the words were not spoken, but Professor Yu understood Xu Dongliang's meaning in an instant.

"The specific situation will not be known until the test results of the samples come out."

"Is it going to be sent to the city for research? I'll ask Brother Guosheng to come and drive you up?"

"No, no, no, I have an old friend here. I just contacted him on the way, and I think it will be here soon." Professor Yu put the clothes he had taken off into a bag, waved his hands and refused, "I guess it will take two days to get the results. When the result comes out, I will contact you again."

While talking, a black commercial vehicle stopped by the road, and a man who was about the same age as Professor Yu stepped out of it, and his tan was also similar to that of Professor Yu.

"Old Yu, why did you come here?" The man walked straight to Professor Yu and greeted Professor Yu very familiarly.

"Isn't it said that the sea here is rich in resources? Anyway, it's just an investigation, so I'll come and have a look, and I'll see you by the way." Professor Yu laughed.

"Speaking of richness, it depends on the mangrove forest in the south."

"Hey, there are still stretches of mangrove forests in the town! I just saw a few scattered trees over there, and I thought it was strange. This terrain and this tidal flat are quite suitable for the growth of mangroves. Why are there only a few?"

"Go, I'll take you to the south to have a look."

Professor Yu followed the man to his car, unloaded the luggage from the car rented by the second grandfather, said goodbye to everyone, and left with the students.

Xu An watched Professor Yu leave in the car, turned around to find his small tricycle, and found Xu Lili hiding behind the tricycle with a terrified expression.

"Sister Lili, what's wrong with you, aren't you feeling well?"

Xu Lili didn't answer Xu An's question. She poked her head out from behind the tricycle and looked in the direction where the black commercial vehicle was parked just now. After making sure that the car had left, she stood up with a sigh of relief.

"It's scary. The person who just came to pick up Professor Yu is the professor of my elective course. He was caught skipping class and almost failed the course."

The core figures had already left, the bustle was over, and the people who hadn’t understood the excitement also slowly dispersed. Xu An was also sitting on the tricycle and was about to go back. He was stopped by the second grandfather after riding two meters away: "An Zi, after you go back to my house."

"Okay!"

As Xu An had expected, this was indeed another internal meeting related to the development of Xujia Village. This time the meeting was to discuss the financing of 'jumping fish farming'.

"I have inquired in the city. It has been three or four years since this tidal flat was put up, but no one has rented it. This tidal flat has a total of 210 mu, and the price per mu is 20 yuan. The longest leasehold For [-] years, the fee is paid once a year.”

hiss!Everyone present gasped, the rental fee for this tidal flat was 310 million!This is much higher than the price everyone expected. After the contract is contracted, development investment is required. It is estimated that 500 million will not be able to beat it!

"Why don't we rent half of it first, and then rent the remaining half when we make money, so that the pressure will be less."

"No, this sea farming is different from pond farming. If the remaining half is rented by other people, it's okay if that person is honestly engaged in farming. If something goes wrong, we will be out of luck with it. Or don't rent it. , or rent them all." Second Grandpa retorted.

"There is so much money here, the whole Xujia Village can't even sell the people and the land."

"I asked the city. The rural credit cooperatives have special interest-free loans for agricultural development, which is also applicable to us. For example, the rent is more than 300 million. As long as we raise 120 million, we can use this policy to borrow the rest. part."

"120 million, every household in Xujia Village has to spend 10,000+ to get it together. This is not a small amount of money. Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing, few families can spend tens of thousands, 10,000+." 120 million, another person jumped out and interrupted.

"Professor Yu said that if they meet the prerequisites of their 'Sea Ranch', they can help us apply for a part of the financial support, which is about 30 yuan. I've done the math, and all the households in our village have put together , 50 is not a problem, but the remaining 40 is a bit tricky." The second grandfather sighed: "I originally planned to prepare for the 120 million through loans, but the bank does not accept such preparations. The method must be real money without borrowing. Now we have two roads, one is to try to get together 120 million, and the other is to give up marine farming and find other ways out!"

With those words, everyone present was silent.

"Second Uncle, I won't hide it for you. I have saved some money from the pork business these years. I don't have 120 million, but I can still get 20." Xu Guosheng gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Second Uncle, my greenhouse does not earn as much as Guosheng's family, but I still have one hundred and eighty thousand." Aunt Hong said, "I can get an extra 12!"

"Second Uncle, I can get [-] more."

"I'll take an extra [-]."

"Thirty thousand."
