Lin Ziyan took them to the houses arranged by the village before returning home.

As soon as I pushed the cart to the front door, I saw Huo Qizhen squatting on the stone stool.

She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly. Why does she like sitting on the stone stool so much?

"Boss Huo,"

When Huo Qizhen saw her, he stubbed out his cigarette, stood up, and said, "If you don't come back, I'm going to the county."

He came straight to the village after returning from Guangzhou, but unexpectedly found no one there.

Huo Qizhen heard about Boss Liang's acquisition of the shrimp farm while he was in Guangzhou.

He heard from a friend that the boss, Mr. Liang, had received guidance from a master, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to come up with such a good plan.

"You came here because of Boss Liang's matter?" Lin Ziyan guessed correctly.

Huo Qizhen nodded, "I checked the people who had contact with him, but I didn't find anything."

Lin Ziyan raised an eyebrow slightly. How could someone easily discover something that was done so discreetly?

"Are you interested in collaborating to open a seafood wholesale market?" she asked, sitting on the stone stool opposite Huo Qizhen.

She hadn't originally planned to find someone to cooperate with, but Boss Huo's network was definitely wider than hers, so if she wanted to quickly get the seafood market up and running, he was the most suitable person to work with.

Furthermore, she also wanted to build two rows of shops next to the seafood market, for seafood processing or restaurants or something similar.

Huo Qizhen looked at her in surprise, "Seafood wholesale?"

"This place is near the port, are you sure you're not joking?"

He looked at Lin Ziyan with suspicion, feeling that her ideas were too naive.

These days, which boss wouldn't like to wait for fishing boats at the port?

"I've already rented the whole mountain, how could it be fake?" Lin Ziyan said with a faint smile.

She briefly explained the situation at the seafood market.

After listening, Huo Qizhen pursed his lips slightly. "How do we cooperate?"

He was particularly interested in the stalls at the seafood market.

In his opinion, opening a seafood processing shop would be more attractive.

There are already few seafood restaurants nearby, and with more and more foreign businessmen coming here, people will look for restaurants.

The seafood restaurants in town can no longer meet the demand.

"We'll split the profits as equity investments..." Lin Ziyan briefly explained the cooperation method.

Huo Qizhen mainly provides the customers, while her people are responsible for the operations.

The shops and stalls are only for rent, not for sale, and there is room for rent to increase in the future.

Lin Ziyan has great confidence in this seafood wholesale market.

After the new port is completed, the number of trucks coming and going here will only increase.

There are also cruise ships docking at shore, which need to purchase ingredients and so on, and they always want to eat something different when they disembark.

Besides seafood, the shop must also offer other food.

Lin Ziyan plans to open a milk tea shop, a dessert shop, a snack shop, and so on, turning it into a food street.

As the flow of people increases, so will the demand; she's not worried about the seafood market not having business.

“Okay, let’s cooperate as you said. We can sign the contract anytime.” Huo Qizhen was already itching to get involved after hearing her say that.

He knew that demand would increase after the new port was built.

There's only one town nearby, which can't meet such a large demand.

Moreover, Huo Qizhen harbored a secret expectation, always feeling that the seafood wholesale market she wanted to set up was different from what he had envisioned.

By the time the chubby girl returned from the shrimp farm, Huo Qizhen had already signed the contract and left.

Lin Ziyan handed her the contract, saying, "We've landed a big boss; we won't have to worry about customers anymore."

Fat girl, "..."

She swallowed hard when she saw the names of milk tea shops, dessert shops, snack shops, and other similar establishments listed on the new contract.

What is milk tea? This chubby girl has never had it.

"Ayan, are you really planning to open a food street?" the chubby girl asked excitedly, her eyes bright.

If there's a food street, doesn't that mean there's good food?

“That’s right, satisfying the needs of foodies,” Lin Ziyan said with a smile.

Fatty: "What's a foodie?"

"Uh, to put it simply, it's someone who loves all kinds of food," Lin Ziyan explained.

The chubby girl nodded vigorously, "I am a foodie!"

She secretly felt that this title suited her image very well.

…

In the following days,

The village party secretary was broadcasting on the village's radio station, advertising for the seafood market and explaining the details of renting a stall.

Many villagers were hesitant, but the bolder ones signed contracts directly and chose their stalls first.

Lin Ziyan didn't get involved in the investment promotion; she left it all to Brother Ajian.

She was at home making all sorts of delicious food.

Moreover, she also asked Aunt Chen and Aunt Huang to find the village women and let them taste it.

If you're opening a restaurant, hiring a skilled cook like an auntie is definitely the right choice.

Drinks: Mango Milk Sago, Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea, etc.

There are many types of sweet soups, such as mung bean soup, eight-treasure porridge, taro sago, etc.

Lin Ziyan also made takoyaki, pan-fried mushrooms with meat, grilled squid, grilled meat, chicken cutlet, pork cutlet, spicy duck neck, and so on.

The two large tables were completely filled, and the chubby girl swallowed hard as she looked at them.

"Ayan, what are all these? My stomach is rumbling just smelling them," Aunt Chen said, smacking her lips.

Aunt Huang said, "That's right, I recognize the sweet soup, but I don't know how to make the other kinds."

The other women stood to the side, looking somewhat awkward.

There's so much food; it looks even better than what we eat at a banquet.

"Everyone, sit down and eat. Don't be shy. I'm treating you all to a delicious meal today," Lin Ziyan said, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

She also bought disposable cups and bowls to avoid having to wash the dishes afterward.

A plump auntie laughed and said, "Ayan, you suddenly treated us to so much delicious food, we were quite flustered."

"Everyone, eat first, we'll talk after we finish," Lin Ziyan said, keeping everyone in suspense.

The chubby girl couldn't wait any longer. She picked up a skewer of grilled meat and took a bite. Her mouth was instantly filled with the aroma of the meat, and she nodded vigorously with satisfaction, "Delicious!"

Aunt Chen handed bowls and chopsticks to the other women, saying, "Don't be shy with Ayan, she might want to teach you how to make these delicious dishes!"

Lin Ziyan looked at her, smiling but saying nothing.

Yes, she wanted these women to learn how to open their own shops at the seafood market.

It's better to let the villagers do the work than to let others benefit from it.

These snacks are not difficult to make; as long as you master the techniques, you can basically make them.

Of course, this assumes you have some cooking skills.

The people that Aunt Chen invited were mostly good cooks, and they were also quick, efficient, and clean.

"This is chicken cutlet..." Lin Ziyan answered all their questions and introduced it to them.

She only drank the milk tea and didn't eat much else.

After it was made, she lost her appetite just from the smell.

The reason why the person who cooks eats less might be because of this.

After everyone stopped, Lin Ziyan finally revealed her thoughts.

The chubby girl was stunned. "Go find the aunties to open a shop?"

Are they really capable?

"Ayan, we don't know how to make any of these dishes..." Aunt Li hesitated a bit, but her eyes were bright, clearly showing that she was tempted.

"I will teach you; it's actually not difficult."

"As long as you're willing to do it, I have some snack shops available near the seafood market. The investment is small, and the profits are considerable, making it perfect for you..."

Lin Ziyan analyzed simply, looking at their expressions, she knew they were tempted.
