Chapter 478 A Great Harvest
Facing Tian Caihua's words, Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want to come and work? Can you handle it?"
Tian Caihua immediately said, "Of course I can handle it! I have nothing to do after I finish the housework every day."
Jiang Xia: "But sister-in-law, you are the director of our aquaculture farm."
Tian Caihua's eyes widened: "Supervisor?"
When did she become a supervisor?
It just sounds amazing.
"right."
"We will sell the mussels we raise to aquatic export companies. The quality must be very good, so you are needed to supervise the harvesting and sorting of mussels. When the mussels grow up, you will also have to help patrol the beach to prevent them from being stolen."
"Except for mussels, the harvesting of other things will require the supervision of my sister-in-law. And I am planning to ask my sister-in-law and mom to start hiring people to make hanging nets and collection devices. How can my sister-in-law have time to make small fish?"
Jiang Xia didn't say explicitly what she raised, but she said that other things she raised were similar to the net fields, and Caihua thought of pearl oysters.
Yes! I almost forgot that Jiang Xia said that April and May are the peak breeding season for pearl oysters.
The peak breeding season for pearl oysters is approaching, so we need to prepare the hanging nets and larvae collection devices in advance.
"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier? No, I really don't have time! I really don't want to do this fried fish anymore!"
Jiang Xia also said that the owner of a pearl farm gave them thousands of young pearl oysters.
That is to say, starting from this year, their pearl farm will soon welcome thousands of pearls^_^!
Pearl cultivation is valuable. Raising a good pearl is worth the money you earn from working here for a year, or even more!
Why fry small fishes?
Jiang Xia: "It's not too late to prepare now. There's still time, and mom has been doing it whenever she has time."
Tian Caihua no longer cared about the small fish business and said with a smile, "There are not many days left. I won't say anything more! I will go back to make the hanging nets now!"
Jiang Xia gave Tian Caihua a thousand yuan: "Sister-in-law, please ask someone to help you do it! Prepare more. This is the money to buy materials."
Tian Caihua happily took it and said, "I'll use this money to buy materials. I don't need to hire anyone for the time being. I'll try to see how much I can do myself. If it's not enough, I'll hire someone else to make sure the task is completed!"
It costs at least one dollar a day to hire someone! Tian Caihua couldn't bear to spend money without earning any money.
She does it herself at no cost.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law!"
"It's not hard! It's my duty!" Tian Caihua left in a hurry.
She was going to town to buy materials to make hanging nets and larvae collection devices.
Jiangxia really needs Tian Caihua to patrol the beach to see how the mussels are growing, and it is time to expand the scale of pearl oyster breeding soon.
It is necessary to seize the peak breeding season of pearl oysters and collect more pearl oyster larvae in the sea.
This requires a large number of pearl oyster larvae collection devices and pearl culture nets.
It also requires Zhou's mother and Tian Caihua to do it, or ask someone to take the lead in doing it.
Moreover, when Zhou's father comes back from his voyage this time, he will bring a pearl oyster larvae collection device to the waters of the neighboring province to collect and salvage pearl oysters when he goes out to sea again after the Qingming Festival.
Jiang Xia asked Jierduo to buy a few sets of diving equipment last time. He will come to China again for the Guangzhou Trade Fair, and he will bring them over when the time comes.
The next month is a busy one.
Now that the weather is warmer, the cages they ordered can be installed.
Zhou Chenglei and his boss agreed to install it at the end of this month, and the other party will deliver the fish fry at that time.
Anyway, there are many things to arrange.
Jiang Xia was thinking about what to do next while making a fire.
Zhou Chenglei returned home, had breakfast, took a shower and went to sleep. He had stayed up all night last night and had to go out to sea again tonight, so he could only sleep during the day.
Jiang Xia spent the entire morning helping to light the fire at the old house, so as to prepare this batch of small squids as quickly as possible so that they could be transported away directly when the Marquis came in the afternoon.
There are also thousands of kilograms of dried fish after being dried and waiting to be fried. The small food processing workshops here also have a heavy workload.
But there are limited stoves, and it will be useless to hire more people.
You still have to see if there are factories for rent. If not, you have to find a place to build one yourself.
It’s not okay to work in the old house all year round.
Another option is to cook it manually one pot at a time, which is too slow and difficult to control the heat.
Or let Jiang Dong develop a production line for dried fish?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia decided to write to Jiang Dong again in the evening to explain her request.
The food factory has an instant noodle production line, and instant noodles also need to be fried. Assembly line production is the trend of the future.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Instant noodles are fine, and her little fish is also fine! Of course, the premise is that Jiang Dong can develop it according to her requirements.
*In the afternoon, the Marquis came over.
Jiang Xia took out four flavors of squid for him to try.
After tasting it, the Marquis said directly: "Make more of the spicy and sauce-flavored ones, and the sweet and spicy ones. People here like spicy food, but they can't eat it too spicy. The sweet and spicy ones are just right. You can make less of the sweet and sour ones. Children usually like the sweet and sour ones, but they also like the sauce-flavored ones. The sauce-flavored ones are suitable for men, women, young and old, so make more."
"Okay!" Jiang Xia agreed.
The Marquis added, "Small squid is more expensive, not many people are willing to buy it, it is definitely not as popular as small dried fish."
Jiang Xia: "I know. They are sold in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. And the small squid is seasonal. There won't be so many in the next two months."
However, after the squid season, it is the jellyfish season again, which can be used to make jellyfish shreds, kelp shreds, seaweed and other foods.
So there is no need to worry about having nothing to produce.
"It will be easier to sell over there. The sea area here has a peak flood season in the past two months, but other sea areas also have flood seasons. It's just that the cost of buying and transporting it back is much higher. We'll see if it sells well when the time comes."
"yes."
The Marquis took a look at the kitchen. It was very clean. The workers who made the fish were all dressed very neatly. They wore hats, sleeves and aprons. It looked very formal, but it was too small. "No wonder your production is so small. There are too few stoves. With so few of you, why don't you consider borrowing the factory to open a food processing factory?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "You have this plan, but you haven't made enough money to build a factory yet, and you haven't found a factory to rent, right?"
The Marquis turned his head to look at the tall building, the most beautiful building in the village, and was silent for a moment.
He just went in and the leather sofas in that room were worth a lot of money. How could he be called poor?
Jiang Xia discussed with the Marquis that in the future he would help purchase fresh small squids at the city dock and transport them over, and also transport back the small squids and dried fish prepared the day before.
After the discussion, the Marquis left.
In the evening, many fishing boats would dock and he would rush back to collect the fish.
This time, the Marquis left with a little over a thousand pounds of small squid at a price of two dollars and seventy cents per pound.
Because of the sauce, the more than 900 kilograms of small squid actually weighs even more.
After deducting the share given to He Xinghuan, other costs and labor costs, Jiang Xia calculated that he had made about 2,000 yuan.
Today is another fruitful day! Thank you to everyone who voted and gave me tips!
As we bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, I wish you and your family a happy new year, good health, all the best, lots of money, happiness every year, and peace every year.
