Chapter 484 A Seasoning
Village Chief Haiyun was a little anxious: "If this happens, all our efforts during this period will be in vain."
"There's no other way around it. The risks and benefits of farming are huge."
No one spoke anymore and could only pray that it wasn't the worst possible outcome.
Arriving at the first bamboo raft, Wen jumped onto the bamboo raft beside him, pulled up the rope hanging on it, and saw that the oysters on it were already half the size of a palm.
She pried one open with the dagger she carried with her and saw that the oyster inside was plump and had a white sheen.
Village chief Haiyun and his companions looked worried, fearing that the breeding would fail.
Wen Zhenyi pulled another rope, but this time he didn't pry it open. Instead, he observed its size.
She returned to the boat and said, "Village Chief Haiyun, let's go check out the other bamboo rafts."
Village chief Haiyun wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to, so he could only row towards the other bamboo rafts.
Chen Hanxing did not say anything. He still felt that this kind of breeding was quite magical, but he had no way of judging whether it was successful or not.
Wen Zhenyi went to every bamboo raft and pulled up the oysters hanging underneath to check the situation.
After she finished checking the last bamboo raft and sat back on the boat, she said, "It will be fished out in two months."
"It's done, it's succeeded?" Village chief Haiyun and the villagers were so excited that the boat began to shake violently.
Wen Zhenyi grabbed Shen Hanxing and said, “Don’t get excited, otherwise the boat will really capsize.”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Village chief Haiyun and the others quickly steadied themselves.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the fishing boats and said, "Village Chief Haiyun, you should switch to some larger boats. These are still too unstable at sea."
"We'll change when we get back."
Wen Zhenyi went to see the situation in several other fishing villages in the next few days.
The oysters are growing well, and they are also learning from Hougang Village to use fishing nets to enclose seawater for aquaculture.
When we heard that they were growing well, we were so happy that we almost lost our minds.
Wen Zhenyi plans to come back in two months. Now the dried fish and other products produced in their workshop are selling very well, which has brought their lives to a higher level.
When I came to Hougang Village in the past, I could see them wearing patched clothes. Now, patched clothes are very rare. Sometimes when you see them wearing them, it is for the convenience of working.
Wen Zhenyi also suggested that they could plant more coconut trees. Coconut is also a very good fruit that can be transported to other cities.
It can also be made into coconut powder, dried coconut, etc., which are all good choices.
Everyone listened to their advice and planted some coconut trees on the beach in their spare time to provide shade from the sun in the future.
During this period, several children learned to swim, and their skin, which had been whitened with great difficulty, has now turned black again.
When they left, the children were reluctant to leave: "When can we come again?"
Wen Zhenyi scratched their little noses and said, "You are all about to go to school, and you still want to come here to play."
Although it is a pity for the children, there will always be opportunities in the future.
When Wen Zhenyi returned to the village, he felt a headache when he saw the pile of thick books in the study.
Lin Jie and Zhu Tao could only smile helplessly: "You have a lot on your plate right now. If you don't deal with it for a few days, a lot of things will pile up, not to mention that you've been away for more than three months."
Wen Zhenyi frowned and asked, "Are Hu Zi and the others about to graduate from the academy?"
"Benben has graduated, but her family is looking for a marriage for her."
"So early?"
"Yiyi, calculate how old the little boy is."
Wen Zhenyi shook his head helplessly: "These children really have grown up without realizing it."
"How many of them are left?"
"They are about to leave the academy soon. They didn't lay a solid foundation before, so they stayed in the academy for a few years longer than Xiaonan."
"Let them work for me. I have a lot of things to do here, and it would be nice if they could help share some of the burden."
"Okay, I'll go talk to the aunts now."
Wen Zhenyi dealt with the urgent matters first, and then waited for Gousheng, Huzi and Mantou to come and help.
The three teenagers no longer look like they did when they were little. They have become more bookish and have grown very tall.
Hu Zi looked at her with a smile: "Sister Wen, do you want to give us a job?"
"Yeah, I have a lot of work here. It depends on which job you want to accept."
Mantou came over and asked: "What kind of work do you have?"
"I have an ice cream shop to open here, but I'm short of a manager. Also, I have several workshops far away that need people to check on them from time to time. And then there are all these piles of accounts I have."
Gousheng immediately said, "I chose the one that goes to the distant workshop."
Mantou immediately said, "I choose the ice cream shop."
Hu Zi was a little dumbfounded and looked at the two of them: "Do you have any humanity?"
"Isn't it better for us to stay at home with you?"
Hu Zi looked at the pile of booklets and felt overwhelmed: "Sister Wen, are there any other options?"
"there is none left."
Hu Zi's face was full of resentment: "Ah!"
"But if you do well, I'll open a shop later, and you can be the shopkeeper."
"real?"
"real."
"Okay, I'll do it."
Wen Zhenyi handed the matter over to the three teenagers, and asked Lin Jie to check on them from time to time and help them if they encountered any problems.
Lin Jie looked at her amusedly: "Are you adding to my workload?"
"Brother Lin, once they can handle things on their own, your job will be easier."
"You say that as if that makes sense."
Wen Zhenyi felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, so he took Meng Caidie and Feng Qianlan and came over.
The two men also carried her into the store.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the two people's posture and knew what they were going to do: "It's just makeup."
Meng Caidie looked at her: "You know it, why don't you tell me."
"Miss Meng, Your Highness, can't you just let me rest for a while?"
"Life is movement, you said."
Wen Zhenyi wanted to slap himself right now. Why was he saying this to them out of the blue? "Okay, okay, I'll teach you. Isn't it okay for me to teach you?"
In the following days, she worked tirelessly to teach them some technical skills such as makeup and hair styling.
When she thought it was finally over, two months had already passed and she could only grab Gousheng and go to Hougang Village.
Gousheng visited the workshop here out of curiosity and found that the workshops here were different from those in the village. They were all built with the characteristics of a fishing village.
"Sister Wen, I saw Village Chief Haiyun and the others cleaning the empty workshop. Are they ready to start work?"
"Yes, this workshop will start working tomorrow."
"What's it for?"
“Oyster sauce.”
"Food?"
"It's a seasoning, to be exact."
