Fisherman

After playing mahjong for a long time, Zhao Qian really couldn't let Brother Zhou continue to fight with the husbands. He came forward and took them away. It's not good to keep Brother Zhou.

Several people asked the time, only then did they realize that it was getting late, so they all put away their mahjong addiction.

"Brother Zhou, when you are free, let's come together again!"

Brother Zhou sat for a long time, feeling a little stiff all over, and said: "You can come anytime you want, since you have learned it, you can teach it to others."

"Okay." Several husbands laughed and left the shop one by one.

After seeing that everyone had left, Zhou Geer stretched his muscles and bones. Today is not considered an official opening, and he invited them here just to build word of mouth. Still feeling a little embarrassed, she turned her head and looked at Zhao Qian who was on the side: "I won their money."

Zhao Qian embraced the man and asked, "How much did you win?"

The fight by four people is not too big, but it is not too small either. Zhou Geer counted and estimated that there was more than one or two taels of silver.

"Everyone is having fun, and they don't care about the money."

With a smile on Zhao Qian's face, he patted the young man's head, and took out two bunches of keys from his waist: "From now on, you will take care of the two mahjong parlors of our family."

Brother Zhou took the keys, and suddenly felt that the keys were a bit heavy. Although he had done business with Zhao Qian, he only did odd jobs. Everything was done by Zhao Qian, so he didn't need to use his brain or think about making decisions. What, now that he is asked to manage two new shops, it is inevitable that he will be shocked and a little embarrassed.

"Brother Zhao!"

Facing Brother Zhou's slightly trembling tone in surprise, he was very firm in his thoughts: "I've been taking care of Mu Yu at home a while ago, didn't I always feel too free? Just looking for something to do."

It is good to have his own things to do. He has long wanted to do things. He loves to work hard. From the time he was pregnant with Mu Yu to the birth of the child, he was really bored. Zhao Qian has always promised to find him something to do. Do it, but I didn't expect it to be such an important thing in the first place.

He looked at the key in the palm of his hand, lying on the palm of his hand coldly, and did not speak.

"It's just that you come to the store to take a look around, meet acquaintances who come to say hello, and occasionally play mahjong with you. Everything will be done by Xiao Er. If something really happens, don't you have me to support you?" Let's go."

After listening to his words, Brother Zhou tightly held the key in his hand and nodded seriously.

"That's not right."

After the two rested in the mahjong parlor for a while, the family bearer came.As soon as I got back to the house, I heard the baby crying. The little boy who hadn't seen his father for a day had tears on his face, his mouth was puckered, and he looked very pitiful.

Brother Zhou picked up the cub, sobbing and choking, he stopped crying.

In a blink of an eye, he went there for more than a month, and since Brother Zhou brought a few husbands to the mahjong parlor to play mahjong, the news spread, and the husbands went home and told the story to the main house at home, or they would get involved I went with my friends, and most of the newcomers entered the shop with a look of disbelief, and left the shop reluctantly.

The number of people in the mahjong parlor increased day by day. For a while, Mrs. Fu Lang in the market gathered together, but they were separated by a screen and did not interfere with each other. As the number of people increased, the business in the shop also improved.

The charge in the shop is mainly calculated according to the head. The longer you stay, the more money you spend. In addition, there is a charge for tea. Often the Fu Lang and his wife who play mahjong at a table will spend several taels of silver in an afternoon. Of course, It all depends on how much you are willing to spend, and there will be no forced consumption in the shop. Even the wives of ordinary families can come in to play mahjong, and there is no threshold for rich or poor.

When Zhou Geer first took over, he was still a little cautious. He went to the shop very early every day to keep watch. Later, after a long time, he found that it was the same whether he went or not, but he needed some accounts. Occasionally, a husband whom he knew would come There is a lack of people to play mahjong, so playing with me for a while is generally very idle.

When the business stabilized, he started again, and gradually he relaxed.

Although he thought he didn't do much, but over time he also realized Zhao Qian's good intentions. After interacting with the customers in the shop a lot, he could almost recognize the insiders of the big families in the whole market. It's not widened a little bit.

Just when the business of the mahjong parlor went so smoothly that it was full without much fanfare, there was a problem with Ri Ri Xian.

Zhao Qian was in the house calculating the accounts sent by Zhong Jiu and Sun Xiong, Xiao He came to report that there was a guest, he sent what he had on hand to the hall, and found that it was Hu San'er.

He seldom comes to the Zhaizi, and usually transports seafood, and if there is something to talk about in Ririxian, he actually came to the Zhaizi today.

Seeing him coming, Hu San'er didn't beat around the bush, and directly stated the purpose of coming: "There are some problems with seafood!"

He frowned: "What's going on?"

"In the past, most of the seafood was bought by the villagers of our Shangyu Village. At that time, the villagers were afraid that we would not be able to buy them all. However, since there were errands on the salt flats, many villagers stopped fishing, and did not buy them. When I went fishing in time, the goods I received were much less. Aren’t the people in Xiayu Village fishing later on? After that, some seafood will be in short supply."

Zhao Qian rubbed his temples. In fact, there were some clues to this problem before. At that time, Ririxian expanded, and the restaurant's daily demand for seafood increased a lot. He also considered whether the supply of seafood would be insufficient. At that time, Shaoyu was pregnant, and he went to the county again, and was still busy buying the land deed of Yongning Lane. A lot of things were piled up, and he immediately forgot about this hidden danger. , Now it really happened.

Although Daily Fresh is not completely out of stock, it cannot fully meet the needs of daily customers. Delays are not a problem. The matter must be resolved, otherwise Daily Fresh will have to return to its original shape in the future.

"I see. For the time being, you should increase the purchase price appropriately to see if you can attract more villagers to fish."

After Hu San'er brought the words to him, after getting what he wanted, he didn't stay long and hurried back to the village.Over the years, after the villagers have a stable income, the living conditions in the village have improved a lot. Thinking about the people who could only eat meat during the festivals, now they can ask Hu San'er to buy some at the market every now and then. The meat goes home to beat teeth for sacrifice.

On the other hand, Xiayu Village, which was flamboyant at that time, gradually became inferior to Shangyu Village.

Hu San'er started working with Zhao Qian fairly early. He has been buying and transporting seafood for Ririxian all these years. He has worked hard, and Zhao Qian has not treated him badly. He has also earned a lot of trust from both parties. The life of the villagers who work on the salt flats in the village is much better. Their house has been renovated and it is already the largest house in the village.

Brother Cheng was pregnant not long ago, and Hu San'er was so happy that he waited for her all day long, but Hu Lingling also had someone she was in love with.

Life in the village was good. Zhao Qian went back for a walk. He hadn't been back to the village for quite some time. The old house was still there, but it was not lived in for a long time. The vegetables have already been ruined, and now a bunch of weeds are growing very lush.

Looking around, except for his own house, the houses in the village are not bad. It is no longer just a shipwreck. The bleak scene when the village was newly built, the current appearance made him feel both emotional and relieved.

At this moment, everyone in the village went to work, there was no one there, and the greetings with the village head were saved. After walking around for a while, he went to the seaside.

They live in a fishing village near the sea. They never expected that the boats floating on the sea would be so lonely. At that time, they opened a salt flat. They wanted to find a stable job for the villagers, but they ended up shooting themselves with stones. He cut off his own business path.

But he can’t complain about the villagers, everyone treats him and Brother Zhou well. The outdated fishing tools at sea are just begging for their lives. Now that everyone has other ways to make money, they naturally don’t want to Go fishing with your life.

He found a corner and looked at the sea on the blue side. Several fishermen wearing straw hats were pulling in their nets on the boat. Looking at the unfamiliar faces, he guessed that they were from Xiayu Village.

Looking at their fishing methods, it is no wonder that the seafood supply of Ri Ri Xian is insufficient.

He thought about it for a few days in the market, but he had no way to deal with it. Now that he went back to the beach, he had a lot of feelings and thoughts in his heart.

Generally speaking, there are two main reasons why the villagers are unwilling to go fishing. One is that it is very risky, and the other is that the income is low and unstable.If these two major problems can be solved, there should be many fishermen willing to go fishing again.

It is easy to say that the money is stable. He hired the villagers under his name and paid them monthly. It is easy to solve. It is not a problem, but the difficulty is how to reduce the risk of going to sea.

Looking at the sea, he narrowed his eyes slightly. The main reason for the risk of going out to sea is the backward tools and uncontrollable natural factors. Natural factors cannot be avoided, but the backward tools can be solved. A lot of advanced fishing tools are laying aside and useless. If they are all used, will they worry about not being able to catch fish?

What is most lacking now is a boat, a big boat, a big boat that is stable and can carry many people, not like a few rickety fishing boats. With these hardware, the risk of going to sea will be more than a little smaller.

Thinking about it in his heart, he didn't stay in the village too much, and went back to the market excitedly and anxiously.
