Upon hearing the price, Huo Qizhen was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Now when he goes to the port to buy, he has to pay 2.5 yuan per kilogram for a whole basket of goods.

Furthermore, they don't allow picking and choosing, and they can't guarantee that every shrimp will be lively and jumping around.

"Take these with you, load the shrimp into the truck, turn on the oxygenator, and you'll have no problem getting them to the city."

"However, this battery needs to be charged, so just don't forget," Lin Ziyan briefly explained how to use it.

She also told Huo Qizhen where to order such items.

"Are these really going to work?" Huo Qizhen asked, holding the contents of the transparent bag with skepticism.

He had tried using electricity to supply oxygen before, but it didn't work, and most of the shrimp he brought to the city still died.

"Go take a look over there, that pool uses this kind of equipment." Lin Ziyan pointed to a pool and ignored him.

She also needs to prepare other things to ensure the shrimp can be safely delivered to the city.

I can't let the heat make me faint in the car...

That's right, even shrimp can get overheated.

Huo Qizhen walked quickly to a shrimp pond and was surprised to see the ice and oxygen supply inside.

Put ice cubes in to cool it down?

Why didn't he think of that before? Huo Qizhen slapped his forehead.

The driver brought the car to the entrance of the shrimp farm, and Lin Ziyan helped tidy up the water tank for holding the shrimp and put a few ice cubes into the tank.

When all the shrimp were finally packed, they were still lively and jumping around.

When the equipment is turned on, the water-tight tank, like a pond in a shrimp farm, continuously supplies oxygen.

After reading it, Huo Qizhen felt a little relieved.

"When you get back, you should fill the glass tank in your shop with water like this, making sure the temperature isn't too high or too low."

"If you have any problems, call me at the convenience store," Lin Ziyan instructed before stepping aside to let them drive away.

Huo Qizhen sat in the passenger seat, waved, and left satisfied.

When the chubby girl ran out of the shrimp farm, all she saw was the dust kicked up by the car.

"Ayan, if you sell it for 2.1 yuan, won't we lose money?"

Lin Ziyan shook her head. "No, I'll do the math tonight, and you'll see."

She did the math last night, and also considered the price after the shrimp are harvested in large quantities.

The chubby girl nodded. She got a headache whenever she heard about accounting, so it was even better since she didn't have to do the accounting.

"The shrimp that Boss Huo just ordered weighs 608 jin in total. Write down the weight in your notebook." After saying that, Lin Ziyan walked quickly into the shrimp farm.

She wanted to check out another tank of shrimp to see if she could sell it to a seafood stall.

Those are better suited for grilling, and you don't have to pick and choose.

The chubby girl followed behind her, mentally calculating how much money she made from selling 608 jin of shrimp…

…

When Huo Qizhen returned to the city, the first thing he did after getting out of the car was to look at the shrimp in the tank.

The driver, just like him, rushed to the back of the car.

"Splash!" A shrimp jumped up and splashed water all over Huo Qizhen's face.

He wasn't angry at all, and without wiping the water off his face, he stuck his head out to look into the sink.

The oxygenator was running, but the shrimp swam around without any change.

"Boss, that girl is amazing." The driver scratched his head, his face full of smiles.

Huo Qizhen felt reassured and hurriedly called the restaurant workers to prepare to unload the shrimp.

It was more than an hour later when they finished and put the shrimp into the glass tank.

Huo Qizhen looked at the shrimp swimming around in the pond and felt extremely comfortable.

What he had struggled with for years without success, Lin Ziyan solved with just a few oxygen supply units and batteries.

In the following days, customers who came into the store were amazed when they saw the shrimp in the glass tank, and they all ordered the dish.

The prawns were fresh, sweet, and delicious, with a completely different texture from frozen ones.

More and more people are coming to visit because of its reputation.

Many people asked him where he bought the shrimp.

Huo Qizhen just smiled, but he was overjoyed inside.

He has ordered all the shrimp from Lin Ziyan's shrimp farm.

…

A few days later, all the shrimp in the shrimp farm were taken away by Boss Huo.

Lin Ziyan had just started selling the medium-sized shrimp at the back.

Before she could even go find her clients, Aunt Wang came to the village.

"Ayan, Fatty said the shrimp at your shrimp farm are ready to be harvested?"

Aunt Wang is an impatient person; the first thing she asks when she sees her is about shrimp.

Lin Ziyan, "Why did you come to the village in person?"

"I was just about to go to town to find you."

She pulled Aunt Wang into the yard and sat her down on a wicker chair under the grape trellis.

Aunt Wang was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat, and her chubby hands gripped Lin Ziyan tightly.

"If I hadn't come soon, I was afraid you would have sold out all the shrimp."

"I don't know what happened in the nearby waters recently, but fishing boats can't go out."

Lin Ziyan looked at her in confusion and said, "The fishing boats haven't gone out to sea?"

She remembered what happened at the port last time and understood.

With pirates appearing in the waters off Fukushi, the coast guard will certainly not allow fishing boats to go out to sea.

"Not only have they not gone to sea, but recently there haven't been many cargo ships docking at the port."

"I'm so worried my hair is almost turning white. I have enough fish and squid in stock, and these shrimp are what we get from the port every day. If we suddenly run out of stock, all our regular customers will leave."

Aunt Wang finished speaking in one breath, panting heavily.

Lin Ziyan hurriedly went to the backyard and made her a bag of lemon tea.

Aunt Wang rested for a while before she recovered.

"How many shrimp do you want? The shrimp farm just happens to have some varieties suitable for a street food stall," Lin Ziyan asked after she had drunk half a bag of lemon tea.

"How many do you have?" Aunt Wang asked impatiently; she no longer relied on cargo ships at the port.

After waiting for almost a week, her patience had completely worn off.

"It weighs about 500 jin (250 catties)," Lin Ziyan estimated roughly.

The remaining shrimp are mostly suitable for barbecue at food stalls.

She initially planned to visit several stores to sell out her stock.

"I want them all."

“But I can’t take it all at once; I’ll have to wait several times,” Aunt Wang said crisply.

Now, her eyes widen whenever she sees a shrimp.

Lin Ziyan, "..."

She hadn't expected Aunt Wang to be so generous.

Lin Ziyan briefly repeated what she had said to Boss Huo to Aunt Wang.

Seafood, no matter how it's prepared, is all about freshness.

Aunt Wang was stunned for a long time after hearing this. "So, Boss Huo learned his method from you!"

She slapped her thigh without paying attention to the force, and it hurt so much that she grimaced.

Lin Ziyan pursed her lips, suppressing her smile.

"Aunt Wang, let's go to the shrimp farm first and then we'll talk."

Lin Ziyan took her to the shrimp farm and carefully explained some precautions to her.

Aunt Wang rented an oxcart from the village to take the shrimp back.

She was terrified. After several days of torment, she couldn't walk without bringing the shrimp back.

After the cart was loaded, Aunt Wang got on the oxcart, waved her hand, and urged Grandpa Chen to hurry up and drive the ox.

"Fatty, you've done a great job today!" Lin Ziyan said to her as she watched the oxcart leave.

The chubby girl's eyes lit up, "I want to eat braised prawns!"

Lin Ziyan: "Okay!"

Dark clouds loomed overhead, and it looked like it was about to rain.

The sea breeze howled, stirring up dust that swirled continuously...
