Chapter 131 Countdown to Sea
Zhao Fengnian would wander around the village whenever he had free time, and found an opportunity to avoid Xiao Qi and chat with Lao Qi.
Lao Qi was very grateful that the couple did not take their anger out on him as well, and even if they refused, they would still help make suggestions.
In fact, he also felt that he was a bit too senior. Judging from his son's previous behavior, it would be considered a sign of good manners if people didn't say anything when they saw him.
But he is my father, what can I do?
Bringing him into this world, I can never be cruel enough.
If he really cannot give his son a good life this time, he will entrust the child to the government and be reborn with this son who has made no contribution and wants to harm others!
Shi Qingqing was not a worm in Lao Qi's stomach, so she naturally didn't know what Lao Qi was thinking. She was still planning to save up more money to buy a bigger boat to go out to sea.
Shi Qingqing began to increase the amount of cargo and traveled around several villages and towns, driving an electric car with the license plate covered and coming back at night. She changed her outfit every time she went to a village or town.
Zhao Fengnian wanted to follow, but was rejected by Shi Qingqing. He could feel his wife's anxiety, so he started to make some improvements in the smoked goose business.
For example, more stoves were built, and purchasing became just a matter of collecting live geese and spices at fixed locations and times.
I also hired a few skilled people to help my cousin.
Now that someone is doing all the miscellaneous work, my cousin almost only needs to apply the ingredients and "pretend" to put the "secret" spices into the pot. With more people and the process being streamlined, the output will naturally increase.
After all, when Zhao Fengnian was not delivering goods, he was also helping with the smoking. With six people working around the clock, it was no problem for them to smoke dozens of geese a day.
But problems soon arose. Zhao Fengnian almost cleared out all the geese from several farms that were accessible by electric vehicles.
It wasn't all swept away in one go, but rather a number accumulated over the past few months.
Before this, the sales of geese farming were not as high as those of chickens and ducks, so after the number of geese was consumed, it was difficult to catch up in a short period of time.
When Zhao Fengnian first felt the pressure of buying geese, he and Zhang Sheng shared the responsibility and went to purchase them from families in the surrounding villages.
These old country men and women had suffered from hunger when they were young, so their family always stored food and raised livestock.
But even with this kind of harvest, after expanding production, we still couldn't sustain it.
Zhao Fengnian began to think about spending some money to bribe the driver and have him ship the goods down?
But this thing is not a plant. It doesn't move, doesn't excrete, and doesn't make noise. It also has a peculiar smell when it defecates and urinates on the road... If you pay someone to carry it around every day, then they can't actually carry much.
Just when I was thinking about changing to smoked duck and smoked meat, the profit would be lower but the supply would not be cut off, Shi Qingqing found out about the source of goods.
"Ah, I can go there by boat, but I need to discuss something with my cousin. Didn't I get followed by that gambler once before? I almost went to the next province. I met a saleswoman of frozen products. They also kill geese alive and freeze them for easy storage and transportation. The price is 20% cheaper than live geese, and the meat is good. If my cousin thinks the meat is good, he can replace it first..."
Zhao Fengnian and Shi Qingqing went to find their cousin.
But I didn't expect to be rejected directly.
My cousin thought that the frozen food must have been stored for a long time, even though the quality of the meat was obvious to him.
Shi Qingqing knew very well that it was a product from the mall, and it was stated on the introduction page that it would be sold out within four hours.
But she couldn't explain it.
And my cousin’s insistence is actually not wrong. Killing the goose alive is a show of care and thoughtfulness.
"Then I can help you pull live geese a few times by boat, but I have to go on a long trip in half a month, so I won't be able to help you."
How could my cousin think that Shi Qingqing couldn't help? She had already helped too much.
Although the payment was made in cash, the glutinous rice, bay leaves and various spices that Shi Qingqing sent were of very good quality, and none of them were bad. Even if you went to the store to pick them out yourself, they might not always be the same as the ones Shi Qingqing sent.
The couple can help them for so long, but even their own children may not be able to do it.
From then on, Shi Qingqing had an additional business of purchasing live geese on behalf of others.
No matter whether the chicken nuggets I bought were a few dollars more expensive or cheaper than the local ones, my cousin would pay for the gas for every delivery.
This kind of favor does not harm your interests, which makes people feel comfortable.
Those who help have no complaints, and those who ask for help will still remember the favor.
Time passed little by little. Shi Qingqing delivered goods to Sister Xu, Guo Yumei, several villages, towns and docks. By taking many measures, she finally exchanged as many points as possible for cash.
Now I only have more than 1,600 points left, and the total amount of cash, savings and family money is 76,000.
This number made Shi Qingqing feel a little dizzy.
She went to look at a medium-sized boat, a used one.
Introduced by Angkor.
Parts of the owner's boat were damaged in an accident, but the hull structure itself was fine. The boat was large enough for five or six people to operate it, and it would be no problem to catch 80,000 or 100,000 kilograms of fish.
The key point is that the shell and the main machine alone are worth 65,000 yuan, and the navigation sonar starter and other miscellaneous items will cost another 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.
Old Wu felt that if Shi Qingqing was still in her previous leisurely state, there was no need to buy a big boat. If she really wanted a bigger one, she could buy a brand new one by adding 20,000 yuan to make a total of 100,000 yuan.
Although it is mainly made of wood, machines and other things are also included.
Shi Qingqing blinked.
No, this boat is for me.
Because apart from the engine, fishing net, crane winch and other things that must be installed, she can't use anything else to attract fish, detect fish and navigate!
She has wind-fixing beads and a positioning wheel. If she really doesn't work, she can stay underwater for half an hour without breathing if she falls into the sea.
The navigation also has Haihuo Mall to track the current mission objectives.
After some bargaining, Shi Qingqing successfully got the medium-sized fishing boat by ordering a brand new winch, fishing nets and other items from the Guo family.
There are more than 900 yuan left.
I wasn't happy about having a surplus, so I went to get a certificate and put it all in.
The family suddenly became penniless, but fortunately Zhao Fengnian had a stable income every month to cover the water, electricity and miscellaneous expenses.
Shi Qingqing can also make sure there is enough food and drink in the refrigerator at home.
Sixteen thousand points are enough for half a year if you live frugally.
It's just not as free as before.
One week before going out to sea, Shi Qingqing started collecting her high-quality seafood again.
This time, she received the seafood on board first, using the excuse that she would be going out to sea in a few days and they would settle the bill then.
Only a few people questioned her action.
Could it be that Shi Qingqing has run out of money? She suddenly has to pay every seven days, whereas she used to pay in cash.
You won't say you want to go out to sea after seven days and then delay it.
But Shi Qingqing had been receiving seafood from everyone for several months and had never defaulted on payment, which proved that she was not that kind of person.
After some discussion, Wu Ge made the decision: If Shi Qingqing finds excuses to delay again after seven days, I will go to her in person to ask for the money.
Everyone then calmed down and continued to select the best quality seafood to supply Shi Qingqing first.
During these seven days, Shi Qingqing accumulated points, which quickly climbed to tens of thousands. He also sold goods and made some cash, which was enough to pay the bills.
With one day left before sailing, Shi Qingqing paid off the note she had signed previously and then announced that she was going to sail.
Wu Ge said that they also planned to go out in November and asked her if she could wait another half a month and not be so anxious.
"And you're going out alone? It's obviously not safe. You can't even drag the fishing net."
