On the other side

Lin Ziyan arrived at the store, hurriedly ran inside, picked up everything she needed, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

She now prefers to buy things at stores, even though they are more expensive, because at least she doesn't need to use coupons.

"Tsk, you girl, always so impulsive and always in such a hurry."

The proprietress, Sister Fang, flicked her nails, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She was worried for a few days after hearing that students in the county had diarrhea due to substandard ice.

It seems that it was not affected.

"Sister Fang, have you brought in any new stock this time?" Lin Ziyan glanced around and noticed a lot of new products.

She really admired Sister Fang; how come her business was so good even though the shop wasn't located in town?

Several times, she ran into shop owners who came from the city to buy goods.

In this day and age, there aren't many shops that can do both wholesale and retail.

Fang Jie is quite resourceful; otherwise, how could she have gotten so many in-demand items?

"Yes, we do have some, but unfortunately, the goods are taking too long to arrive." Sister Fang frowned, her mood immediately dropping as she thought about the possibility of being stuck with unsold stock.

“A while ago, many shrimp farms opened in the fishing village, so I ordered new oxygenators from outside.”

"Most of the shrimp farms have gone bankrupt, and now we're stuck with them."

Lin Ziyan paused for a few seconds, "A new oxygen supply unit? Does it use electricity?"

The village's power supply is unstable now, so if you're using electricity, you might really be stuck with this problem.

"No, I can't explain it clearly either. Let me show you." Sister Fang got off the stool, rummaged through a pile of goods, and found a package.

It was packaged in a transparent bag, without even a box; it was very basic.

Lin Ziyan only needed one glance to guess what it was.

It consumes little power, can be powered by batteries, and provides oxygen much better than current equipment.

"Sister Fang, how many did you get?"

"Twenty of them, each costing ten yuan." Sister Fang looked at her suspiciously.

Selling beverages and making ice shouldn't require oxygen supply equipment, right?

"I'll take them all," Lin Ziyan said without hesitation.

Fang Jie, "..."

You want it all? That'll cost 200 yuan in total!

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "My purchase price is 8 yuan. If you really want them all, then we'll calculate it as 9 yuan each."

Lin Ziyan nodded and immediately took out her money.

She knew that Sister Fang had given her the wholesale price.

If such equipment were available during the peak season for shrimp farming, it would definitely sell for more than 10 yuan each.

"Sister Fang, please order another 50 for me."

Fangjie was completely dumbfounded this time. What use was so much of it?

"You didn't secretly open a shrimp farm, did you?" Sister Fang asked in a low voice, her heart racing.

No shrimp farm has made a profit so far; they've all lost money.

"Well, you'll find out later. Do I need to pay a deposit in advance?" Lin Ziyan asked again after packing the things.

After all, the goods ordered are quite special, and currently no one is likely to buy them, making them difficult to sell.

"No need," Fangjie said indifferently.

However, I was still worried, but I didn't know how to offer advice.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Lin Ziyan reassured her before leaving.

Fangjie shook her head, smiled, and waved to her.

…

Back in the village,

After putting her things down, Lin Ziyan went to the shrimp farm with the chubby girl.

The two replaced the oxygen supply unit and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Why do I feel like the shrimp larvae have grown quite a bit?" The chubby girl glanced at them a few times, then looked at the recorded data.

Yes, it is indeed a bit big.

The length was written on the record board; it was 1 centimeter longer.

"Hmm, we need to change the feeding method." Lin Ziyan looked at it for a while and decided to change the shrimp food again.

She thought of the bubble fish at home and slapped her forehead.

Putting the bubble fish into the shrimp pond now will definitely make them more active.

Add some food suitable for bubble fish...

"We'll come back tonight." After looking around for a while, Lin Ziyan decided to go back first.

The most important thing now is the ice-making workshop, since someone will be coming to collect the ice tomorrow.

…

At that moment, a dilapidated cargo ship was docked at the port.

After the ship docked, no one disembarked.

It wasn't until late afternoon that the port patrol workers noticed something was wrong.

The ship docked, but no one went ashore to drive in the anchor nails.

"Old Chen, this boat looks familiar. It seems to belong to the Wei family in Haitang Village."

One of the workers watched from the shore for quite a while.

A sea breeze blew in, and a foul stench wafted from the ship.

This is the fishy stench of shrimp, mixed with other unidentified foul odors.

"It's the Wei family's boat. They've been gone for more than half a month." Old Chen covered his mouth and nose and looked into the boat for a long time.

Another sea breeze blew in, and the stench became even stronger.

"Old Wang, hurry and find the guards!" Old Chen noticed something was wrong.

At the same time, he found it strange that the ship seemed to have drifted back.

There was no sound of an engine, and no engine oil was floating on the surface of the sea beneath the boat.

"Yes!" Old Wang responded and turned to run towards the guard post.

Although the port is not large, it has all the necessary facilities.

Now that the port is open, more and more cargo ships are docking here, and many containers are being unloaded.

Old Chen's expression turned serious, and he called out several times from the shore, "Wei Zhen!"

He called out the captain's name.

He is also the owner of this ship.

Wei Zhen, the only person in Haitang Village to own a cargo ship, was also well-known in the port.

He led the villagers out to sea, and nothing ever happened.

The port had always turned a blind eye to this ship, because in those days, those who owned ships were all wealthy people.

"Quick, this is the ship!" Old Wang, accompanied by his guards, came running up, panting.
