After a while, the tide receded visibly, and various small sea creatures appeared in greater numbers. Zhao Liya suddenly became interested and pulled Zhou Hansheng to catch them.
Gradually, more and more people came to the sea to catch fish. The ecological environment was excellent during this era, and the sea was rich in resources, with all kinds of fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish. Everyone had a great harvest. The two even caught two oversized crabs and two long, silvery hairtail fish in the pools on the reef.
As the sun gradually rose from the sea level, the two sat on a high reef and looked into the distance. At the end of the sea and the sky, the sky was full of gorgeous clouds, and the sea surface was shining with golden light. The sea water nearby was dark blue and the waves were gentle. The golden beach opened its arms, embracing the sea with tenderness and tolerance. Everything was breathtakingly beautiful.
Zhao Liya snuggled up to Zhou Hansheng, her heart and eyes full of admiration.
Zhou Hansheng looked at the golden splendor at the end of the sea and sky, then turned his head to look at his fiancée with shining eyes beside him, and tightened his arms around her. His wife was so beautiful!
We watched the sunrise, went fishing, ate lots of seafood, and went over almost everything about the port and shipbuilding. We discussed it all and were full of confidence in the future.
After all, we have already started to see the benefits, and the huge amount of income has made everyone very happy. Everyone is currently keeping a low profile and making a fortune in silence.
Before leaving, Zhao Liya asked Zhong Jing to help her with another task.
She planned to buy 500 acres of land in the warehouse area planned for the port terminal. As the terminal prospers, it will undoubtedly require a large number of warehouses to store a variety of goods. Purchasing the land in advance and building warehouses later would be a permanent, profitable venture.
Zhong Jing slapped his forehead and said, "Ah, then I want to buy it too!"
So I decided to buy 500 acres.
Zhou Hansheng looked at Zhong Jing with great disdain. Aya made a lot of money with him and he no longer complained about being poor. When they got married, he would definitely give him a generous gift.
Zhou Hansheng and Zhong Jing still had a lot of things to discuss, and Zhao Liya, in no hurry to go back, stayed with them. The two of them often appeared and disappeared, and no one knew where they went. Zhao Liya spent the past few days inspecting all the farms and breeding farms in the military camp.
Very good, everything is thriving and the military camp has a new atmosphere, which makes her feel extremely accomplished.
You know, this was all planned by her in the beginning!
With the air route, there will be no worries about the sales of sugar, potatoes, fruits and other special products. Zhong Jing said that the scale of planting and breeding will continue to be expanded in the coming year, so that the brothers in the barracks can not only receive their salaries on time, but also receive bonuses from time to time.
According to this trend, Zhao Liya felt that this would not be difficult.
Since she was in Suixi County, there was no reason not to visit her own hot and sour noodle shop. So Zhao Liya made a special trip into the city.
With the promotion of potato vermicelli in the market, there are three specialized hot and sour vermicelli shops in Suixi County alone, as well as three or four rice noodle shops, which sell hot and sour vermicelli in addition to rice noodles.
But this did not affect the Zhao family's hot and sour noodle business at all.
After all, such stores generally have their own sphere of influence. If they become famous, there will indeed be people who will cross the entire county just for this one thing, but this situation is rare after all. Most of the customers are still nearby residents and people who pass by on their way to go shopping or do business.
The Zhao family's hot and sour noodles have seasonings prepared by Shu Yan. The ingredients are sufficient and the soup base is rich in flavor. Although the cooking of each seasoning cannot produce the same taste as Shu Yan's skillful hands, it is naturally much more delicious than other restaurants.
What's more, the chili oil used here is fried by Shu Yan herself, and a batch is delivered every five days or so. The chili oil boiled in the soup pot is so fragrant.
It is fragrant, spicy and delicious, and the taste of balsamic vinegar neutralizes it just right. You can imagine how tempting it is and how you can't stop eating it.
Although it has not been open for long, it has successfully cultivated a group of loyal customers. Some customers jokingly said that they must come here to eat every two or three days, otherwise they always feel uncomfortable and like they have forgotten something.
When Zhao Liya arrived, it was almost lunchtime. There were twenty tables in the spacious shop, all of which were full. The two waiters were busy as usual.
Even though Uncle Hu had proudly told her that business was booming and that she was mentally prepared, Zhao Liya was still shocked when she saw this.
No wonder the monthly turnover is more than two hundred taels of silver!
It is considered a very good business in the county town.
Zhao Liya originally wanted to have lunch in her own shop. The smell was so fragrant. There were many people and the atmosphere was good, so it was particularly attractive and mouth-watering.
Even though I know my cooking skills are definitely not as good as Shu Yan's, I still want to.
But there were so many people that she had to give up.
After waiting for more than an hour and a half, Zhao Liya came back. There were not so many people in the store anymore and it was much quieter.
She had been here before, but she hadn't come in yet, so the guys were busy and didn't notice her. Now when they saw her, they were surprised and happy, and hurried forward to say hello.
The shopkeeper and accountant, Mr. Qiu, was counting the accounts. When he saw Zhao Liya, he smiled and called out "Miss Zhao!" and came over to greet her.
Shopkeeper Qiu asked Zhao Liya to sit down and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, business is good every day!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work! I just arrived but saw too many people so I didn't come in. I came over now and see that business is indeed good. It's all thanks to your good management! Give me a bowl too so I can try it!"
Shopkeeper Qiu smiled modestly and politely, while hurriedly asking his waiter to go to the kitchen to give instructions.
Zhao Liya was chatting with Shopkeeper Qiu, and soon the hot and sour noodles were served.
The surface is covered with rich condiments, and the fresh, fragrant, sour and spicy flavor hits your nose, immediately whetting your appetite.
Zhao Liya stirred it, took a bite, nodded, and praised with a smile: "Not bad, this is the taste!"
Of course, there is still some gap compared to Shu Yan's craftsmanship, but it is also very good. It has the taste of authentic hot and sour noodles, and the store did not cut corners.
"Keep it up!"
"Don't worry, Miss Zhao, hehe!"
Shopkeeper Qiu's face was full of smiles.
He works as the shopkeeper here, earning five taels of silver a month, which is not a small amount of money. He cherishes this job very much and naturally does his best.
What's more, they have signed a contract, and the provisions in the contract are very detailed. If he dares to do anything wrong, the boss will find out and will not have to pay him any compensation. So why would he do such a thing?
A shrewd man like Mr. Hu, Miss Zhao, Mr. Hu, etc., which one is easy to mess with? He dare not gamble his future and wealth on them.
