"Ayan, let's go to the temple tomorrow to pray and get rid of the bad luck," the chubby girl said earnestly.

Burning paper money at the gate on the opening day and trying to extort money—only a kind of despicable thing like this could be done by Tan Atai.

Lin Ziyan watched their departing figures and nodded slightly, "I really should go and pay my respects."

Aunt Chen and Aunt Huang exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and chuckled.

Huo Qizhen looked at the customers constantly entering the market and said, "You guys are something else, you've delivered all your fishing boat cargo here, haven't you?"

Who negotiated the cooperation?

Lin Ziyan hugged the chubby girl, saying, "One of our shareholders."

Huo Qizhen looked at the chubby girl and nodded, "Interested in coming with me?"

"No, I'll get meat if I follow Ah Yan." The chubby girl hurriedly waved her hand.

Lin Ziyan chuckled, then feigned anger and said, "Boss Huo, you're even trying to poach my talent?"

Huo Qizhen: "Didn't I just blurt it out in the heat of the moment? How could I dare to poach your people?"

He looked at the food stalls, one of which had been fenced off.

This only happens when someone rents it.

So, less than an hour after opening, a large shop was already rented out...

Several tricycles kept bringing people to the seafood market.

This opening was a good start.

There's also a food street at night, offering everything from late-night snacks to late-night dining.

Over the next few days, the number of people at the seafood market gradually increased, and most of the business owners who went to the port to pick up their seafood knew about this place.

More and more people are coming here to pick up goods.

When Lu Qiuying and Xiao Jin arrived at the market, every stall was busy. After looking around, they finally found Fatty and Lin Ziyan at a food stall.

"Sister Qiuying, over here," the chubby girl called out.

Lin Ziyan had just ladled out a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and waved to her.

Lu Qiuying walked straight to them and sat down. "Is this iced porridge?"

"Eight-treasure porridge," Lin Ziyan said with a faint smile.

Fortunately, many villagers nearby grow beans, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to make eight-treasure porridge.

Lu Qiuying had eaten similar porridge before, but it didn't have as many beans, nor was it this soft and sticky.

She took a few bites and nodded repeatedly, "Delicious, just the right amount of sweetness."

The chubby girl ran out and bought barbecue, milk tea, and chicken cutlets.

She hasn't been home for dinner for the past few days, and her stomach is always very full.

"Sister Qiuying, why don't you try these?" the chubby girl enthusiastically recommended.

Xiao Jin's eyes lit up when she saw the golden-brown fried chicken cutlet.

Lu Qiuying didn't think too much about it and ate with great relish.

"I'll pack some to take on the ship later." She finished eating and looked at Lin Ziyan.

The chubby girl nodded hurriedly and ran out again in a flash.

The two rushed back after receiving a call from Yang Yanzhou, who said that the new cargo ship was being test-driven and he would take them out to sea.

The group agreed to go together, and Yang Yanzhou and the others were already waiting on the boat.

"Does this seafood market also serve late-night snacks?" Xiao Jin asked.

He glanced at it just now and saw several barbecue and late-night snack signs.

Supermarkets, hotels, and restaurants will be built here gradually.

After the new port is completed, the surrounding supporting facilities must also be developed.

Xiao Jin came here this time to take a look around.

"Yes, there is. The row of stalls in front of the main gate is for late-night snacks, and they also have stir-fries and other dishes in the morning," Lin Ziyan said with a faint smile.

Aunt Wang is an impatient person; in just a few days, she has almost finished decorating the shop.

Her shop will have its trial opening tonight, and it's sure to be a huge hit.

Aunt Wang's shop is very famous in town. She just opened a new shop, and recently many people have come to inquire about it.

"Tsk, how did you even think of making late-night snacks?"

"The port workers have long complained that they can't find a shop to eat in the middle of the night, and they have to ride bicycles to get to town, which is inconvenient."

"Now that there are late-night snacks here, it's sure to be lively at night," Lu Qiuying remarked.

The foreman complained about this the last time she came.

Fortunately, the opening of the seafood market has solved this problem.

Lin Ziyan: "More will open gradually in the future; we're just the first step."

Once this seafood market is established, there will definitely be people following suit.

She's just gained an early advantage.

"Yes, this area will become more and more lively in the future."

“With more people, an economic zone will naturally form, which will then drive the economic development of the surrounding area,” Xiao Jin agreed.

Lu Qiuying nodded; they had discussed this before the port was rebuilt.

How can we boost the economic development of Haixian County?

Rebuilding the port is only the first step.

Director Luo is already in contact with some foreign businessmen, trying to persuade them to build hotels, shopping malls, and so on here.

…

This side of the port.

Lu Yunshen was inspecting the cargo ship's various operations, making preparations for its departure.

Yang Yanzhou leaned against the side, looking at the operational documents that Maiwei had sent with the ship.

It's all in English, and the operating steps are written very briefly.

If they want to succeed in their test drive, they still need their own instructors.

"Tsk, isn't Maiwei Group known for its excellent after-sales service?" Yang Yanzhou scoffed.

"Now they can provide after-sales service."

Lu Yun Shen ignored him. Complaining is enough; why expect after-sales service?

Maiwei and other shipbuilding groups are known internationally for their tacit acceptance of indiscriminate after-sales service to Chinese customers.

Therefore, those who can afford to buy domestic cargo ships generally won't buy foreign ones, because after-sales service is too difficult.

"Why aren't Brother Xiao and the others here yet?" Yang Yanzhou asked irritably as he put away the documents.

Lu Yunshen's eyes darkened slightly. "They went to the seafood market to pick someone up."

A few minutes later, Xiao Jin entered the cockpit.

He was carrying some food, which he handed to Yang Yanzhou before speaking.
