Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1235 No One Doesn’t Care About Face

"what!"

"grandmother!"

"What did I just say?"

“Ginger really is more spicy with age!”

"An old house where a treasure."

"You still have to ask grandma about this matter. Only then can you make up your mind and know how to do it. The key is to know what to do correctly."

Liu Lei breathed a sigh of relief. He really came up with a bad idea. But fortunately, this matter has not been actually done as he said. He came here to ask Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming for their opinions. Both Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were undecided. Instead, Zhao Dahai's grandmother Zhong Cuihua saw the problem. The key was that Zhong Cuihua proposed a solution to the problem.

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang."

"The staff here at the fishing raft may not be suitable, but haven't we hired a lot of people to serve as security guards at the building we are building? These are all retired from the team. They are skilled. Another reason is that these people are hired by ourselves. We asked them to come here and ask the people on the speedboats or fishing boats what they want to do."

"Isn't that enough?"

Liu Lei immediately thought about what kind of people he could find to do this. The people he hired were his own people, and if he did this kind of thing, he would do it himself. If he found other people, it would get into trouble. It seems that there is no difference between these two things, but in fact the difference is very big.

"grandmother!"

"What do you think?"

"Didn't I take you to see the building that was being built in the town a few days ago?"

"We have to open for business before the end of the year. In order to handle many things, especially to ensure that there are no problems with this building, Liu Lei and I have hired a lot of people to look after this place. We pay all of them. They are all our own people."

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Zhong Cuihua and then at Huang Jintao.

"Row!"

"How could it be impossible?"

"The people we hire and the salaries we pay are our own family members. There is no problem in asking them to do this job."

"Such a large fish raft is placed in this place. So many fish are worth so much money here. It affects the livelihoods of several families."

"How is it possible that these speedboats and other small fishing boats are circling around here all day long, and we are pretending not to see them? We must ask them what they are trying to do."

Zhong Cuihua patted her knee.

Things have to be done. Someone has to be found to ask the people on the surrounding speedboats and fishing boats what they are trying to do.

If nothing is done, more and more people, more and more speedboats, and more and more small boats will surely crowd here to fish. Don't think that they are far away now, but once there are more and more speedboats and fishing boats, they will become bolder and closer to the fish farm.

At that time, the whole thing will become more troublesome and more difficult to handle, and these people must be made to know that they are not to be trifled with.

Other people are definitely not suitable, but if they are the people hired and paid by your family, then there is no problem at all.

"Liu Lei."

"We have decided on this matter."

"When you go back, talk to Uncle Liu Gang about this. If he doesn't have any objections, then let's just leave it at that."

Ding Xiaoxiang turned her head and looked at Liu Lei. She had already discussed how to deal with this matter, but in the end she still had to see if Liu Gang had any other solutions. This matter involved more than just herself and Zhao Dahai.

"Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang."

"I'll go back and talk to my father about this, but I don't think there's any problem. Basically, this is how it's done. Wait for me to get back. After I talk about this, let's see how it goes next."

Liu Lei nodded. He decided that he would have to go back and have a good talk with his father Liu Gang about this matter to see if this was the right approach.

"We can drive the speedboat around here in a while and take a look at the people on these speedboats. There's no need to say anything, just take a look at them."

"The other thing is that we need to identify these people and see if they appear here all the time."

Shi Guangming knew that generally these speedboats would not cause any trouble, but now that there were more and more of them, he would definitely have to take a good look at who they were and recognize their appearance.

"Grandpa Shi."

"Aren't we having dinner now? Let's go and take a look after we finish eating!"

Liu Lei spoke immediately.

If Zhao Dahai were here now, he would definitely be the first to do such a thing. If Zhao Dahai is not here now, he would definitely be the first to do it.

"Row."

"We'll eat first, and then we'll go see what kind of people are fishing near our fish farm."

Shi Guangming nodded.

It is not convenient for Ding Xiaoxiang, Ding Ailian, Ma Baozhu and others to handle these matters.

Originally, Zhao Shi and I were going to handle this matter, but now that Liu Lei is here, we must go over there together to take a look.

Freshly cooked rice and freshly fried dishes were served.

Liu Lei, Yang Qin and Ding Xiaoxiang were all hungry, and since everything had already been discussed, they started eating right away.

Nine p.m.

The sea breeze blew over and it started to get a little cooler.

Liu Lei, Zhao Shi, and Shi Guangming boarded the speedboat and drove directly towards the speedboats or fishing boats that were fishing nearby.

"Ding Xiaoxiang!"

"Why are there so many fish? They must weigh about 300 to 500 kilograms, right?"

Yang Qin was shocked when she saw the long net cage filled with fish. There was no way she could pull up this many fish without the pulley hanging on the rack.

"It must have been a while since we harvested any fish, otherwise there wouldn't be so many fish!"

As Ding Xiaoxiang spoke, she glanced at Zhong Cuihua and Huang Jintao who were sitting nearby watching the fun.

"Isn't it? We haven't collected anything for most of the day!"

"Everyone was quite interested in it at the beginning, but after a few days, we were able to collect fish every time we went here, and gradually no one paid any attention to it anymore."

"If you don't remember it, you won't be able to take care of it. When you remember it, there are usually a lot of fish in it!"

Zhong Cuihua smiled and nodded. The net cage at the fish farm can really catch a lot of fish every day. Some are big and some are small, but generally speaking, most of them are small.

If you are busy with something on the fish farm, you often don't have time to take care of the cages. Anyway, the fish in these cages can't run away, so you will only collect them when you are done with your work and remember to do so.

Yang Qin has collected so many fish now, but it has been a long time since she last collected any.

"This place is really great. If ordinary people who go out to sea can occupy a place like this, even if they do nothing every day and just collect fish here, they will have the opportunity to make a lot of money."

Yang Qin saw that she had collected so many fish and she had no way to pour them directly into the net cage next to her. She could only bring a large basket. Even then, she couldn't pour all the fish out at once. It took her a while to pour them into the basket, and then into the net cage next to her.

"This flowing water wasn't here at the beginning!"

"If there really was this flow from the beginning and it was visible on the sea surface, we couldn't just use this money to take over this place and build a fish farm."

"This place only appeared after the fish farm was built. We discovered that there was a stream, so we took over another piece of land to build the fish farm. Then we built a platform and covered this place. Only then did we have this place where we can catch a lot of fish every day."

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head.

Anyone who lives by the sea knows how important flowing water is. Where there is flowing water, there will be fish, especially in the relatively deep places near the Shijiao Village Pier. If there is a small flowing water, you can really catch a lot of fish. You don't have to do anything, just like we do now, if we put a net cage or a fishing net in a place like this, we can catch a lot of fish.

However, the water flow is hidden deep and cannot be seen at all before the fish farm is built.

The fish raft was built, and it was blocked by the fish raft that it floated to the surface.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to get this place to build fish farms at this price. From this point of view, we really got a great bargain.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"There's actually not much use in doing this, right? Sooner or later, other people will definitely know that there is flowing water in this place, especially those in the village. Will they have any ideas?"

Yang Qin pointed to Shijiao Village next to the pier. This matter could definitely not be concealed. Even if it could be concealed for a while, it would be impossible to conceal it for a lifetime. She didn't know what kind of trouble would be caused after the people in the village knew about it.

"This matter cannot be concealed. Even at this time, it is possible that someone already knows about it. In any case, this place is not too far from the village."

"They were pulled up from the sea from time to time. There were so many fish and there were many people fishing around. They would know about it and would have had the opportunity to see it. Another thing is that we did not deliberately hide this matter."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. This matter was indeed impossible to conceal. Moreover, she had not concealed this matter on purpose and had not told the people working on the fish farm not to tell them about it. It was really possible that someone already knew about this matter at this time, and the news might have spread.

"Will the people in the village have any ideas? I think it's very likely that they will have some ideas, and they may have a lot of ideas."

"The simplest and most direct way is definitely to ask for more money."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled. This was really the most likely thing.

"What's so strange about this? If the people in the village knew about this, they would definitely think that they were at a disadvantage and would definitely want a price. But if they want a price, it won't be that simple and easy."

Ding Xiaoxiang knew very well that after the people in the village knew the news, they would definitely try to find a way to increase the money. After all, everyone knew that such a flow of water could indeed catch fish and a lot of fish.

However, it is really not easy for people in the village to add money. It is very simple. Shi Guangming is from Shijiao Village.

Moreover, Shi Guangming is no unknown person in the village. Besides, his sea fishing boat is doing very well and he makes a lot of money. It is impossible for other people in the village not to give him face no matter what.

The tide in front of us only appeared after the fish farm was built. If the fish farm had not been built, no one would know that this thing existed in this place. From this point of view alone, it would not be so easy for people in the village to collect money, at least not so justified.

This kind of thing is often not about money, but about face.

If the people here insisted on coming to his house and asking for money, Shi Guangming would definitely feel embarrassed. No matter what, he would never agree to this matter.

Yang Qin smiled and nodded.

What Ding Xiaoxiang said was correct. This was actually the case. There was really nothing complicated about it. It wasn't that Ding Xiaoxiang was unwilling to pay the money, but if the village insisted on doing so and Shi Guangming agreed to it, he would feel that he had no face at all.

No one doesn't care about face.

Places like fishing villages are not big, so they pay more attention to these things.

"When the enemy comes, we will stop him. When the water comes, we will talk about this matter when someone comes to our door. Anyway, I will not do this at that time. I can just wait for Grandpa Shi Guangming to deal with this matter. If he doesn't care about his face at all and agrees to add money from the village, then I will give him the money. There is no problem."

Ding Xiaoxiang couldn't help but laugh as she spoke. This kind of thing really was absolutely impossible to happen. It was completely different from the speedboats around them.

"Hey!"

"I have to say that the flowing water that appeared after the fish farm was built is really unexpected, and there are really fish in it."

Yang Qin looked at the net cage that had just been put down, and it seemed that a lot of fish had run in. Although they were small, there were a lot of them. The key was that it was not laborious at all, and they could be collected every once in a while.

Who wouldn’t be envious?
