Chapter 125 is my Luo Luo~~

Lao Gao is watching over the construction site, so there are no problems for the time being. The recruitment forms have been sent out, and the forms will be collected tomorrow for the first round of screening. After that, a list of interviews will be issued, and then labor contracts will be signed, and pre-job training for new employees will be carried out, etc.

We have to recruit people before Lao Gao completes the project, and the time is actually very tight.

Lao Coconut Recycling has also contacted the sugar factory, so that everyone can be in place on time before the factory goes into production.

The cost of burning coal or charcoal to make coconut candy is not low. In order to reduce the cost, Aunt Zhong suggested burning coconut shells. In fact, many families in the base would pick up coconut shells and burn them. The outermost shells would ignite quickly after drying. After drinking the water inside the coconut, the remaining shells could be burned after drying.

The factory is large enough to make a large drying area. After school, the children can work part-time to pick up coconut shells and send them over. They are also happy to do so for a few cents or a dime.

Aunt Zhong is still wise in life. Su Taotao had never thought of this. She bought some coal and charcoal as a backup and stopped buying coconut shells after coconut shells could be used as the main fuel.

This meeting was full of details, and it lasted for more than an hour. Xia Zhiqiu filled several pages with dense writing, and drank mung bean soup during the halftime break.

Su Taotao took out some seaweed to show them the function of the oven.

"This is actually very simple. Just light a fire below, put the seaweed in and roast it. It will be crispier and more crunchy. Add a little salt and it will taste better."

Seaweed on the island is very cheap. A large bag costs only a few cents. Adults and children can eat it. It is good for the body and can supplement calcium.

Su Taotao roasted a piece of seaweed on both sides. It only took a few seconds to roast one side and it was already crispy. Then sprinkle a little salt on it, and the original roasted seaweed was ready.

The seaweed at home is usually used to make egg soup. Su Taotao suddenly remembered that it can be roasted and eaten today. This is healthier than any snack and more suitable for children.

Chenchen usually loves to drink seaweed egg drop soup. This roasted seaweed hits his taste buds directly. The little guy took a bite and smiled and said, "Mom~~ This dish is so good~~"

Dongdong also nodded: "Aunt Su, the seaweed is delicious."

Su Taotao touched the heads of the two children: "Then Auntie will roast more and let Dongdong take it home to eat later."

Dongdong didn't know what politeness was yet, and smiled and said, "Okay... Thank you Aunt Su."

Su Taotao touched his head again: "You're welcome." Fortunately, Chenchen didn't hit Dongdong's feet today, otherwise he didn't know how guilty he would be.

It was Xia Zhiqiu who felt embarrassed: "I feel really embarrassed every time because we have to eat what you cook."

Aunt Zhong also said: "This is the first time I eat seaweed like this. I didn't expect that it would be so delicious just by roasting it and adding a little salt. Xiao Su's cooking skills are amazing. We are so lucky."

Su Taotao teased: "Then I will have to squeeze your labor in the future, otherwise it will be a big loss. Aunt Zhong will bring some back for Mumu to try. He will definitely like it."

Aunt Zhong waved her hand: "Don't say that. Since you came, he has become more and more disgusted with my cooking skills. He keeps clamoring to be your nephew."

Su Taotao: "Sure, I don't mind having more nephews."

...

After finishing this "afternoon tea" of mung bean soup + roasted seaweed, the sun was almost setting.

Su Taotao and Xia Zhiqiu were going to take Chenchen and Dongdong to the beach to pick up shells. Aunt Zhong was afraid of the sun, so she said she would not go and took some roasted seaweed home.

Su Taotao continued to push the cart. When there were a lot of shells, they could put them directly on the cart and push it back. Chenchen did not take the car. He and Dongdong held hands and walked towards the beach in the afterglow of the sunset.

Chenchen seldom comes out at this time of day. Today the sunset in the sky was beautiful. The red sun was falling into the sea through layers of fiery clouds. Chenchen suddenly pointed at the sunset and said to Su Taotao, "Mom~ big egg yolk~ so beautiful~"

Su Taotao smiled and nodded and said, "It's very beautiful. Chenchen, look at it for a while and tell your uncle later so that he can draw it."

Suddenly a voice came from behind, "What do you want me to draw?"

The two little boys ran over chasing the sunset.

Chenchen pointed at the setting sun again and shouted loudly: "Little uncle~~draw a yolk~~"

Seeing that Chenchen was fine, Fu Yuanhang finally let go of his worry that had been hanging in the air for the whole afternoon. He trotted over and picked up Chenchen: "Okay, I'll draw a big egg yolk for you when we go back home in the evening."

Mumu ran to hug Dongdong: "Ahang, let's have a competition. Each of us holds one. Whoever reaches the beach first wins."

Fu Yuanhang glanced at him and shook his head: "No competition." What if Chenchen falls?

Mumu said, "Tsk, don't play with uncle. Let's go pick up all the conchs on the beach first."

Dongdong shook his head and struggled to get down: "Let's pick them up with Chenchen..."

Mumu: "..." A world where he was the only one injured was created.

There were still few people on the beach at dusk. Only the family members who had just arrived on the island were interested in shells. Others were already used to it.

There were two young boys playing with two other children. Su Taotao and Xia Zhiqiu were much more relaxed. They took off their shoes and stepped on the water where the sea and sand met.

"This place is so beautiful." Xia Zhiqiu had lived in the north since he was a child. This was the first time he was so close to the sea.

"It's very beautiful." Su Taotao opened her arms, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and enjoyed the gift of nature. This place is like a utopia, carrying her love and ideals. She loves this place very much and is willing to do her best to build it.

"Found it~~" Chenchen suddenly raised a large conch, shone it in the sunset, put it to his ear and listened, and said excitedly, "It's my conch~~"

Su Taotao walked over, and the red glow reflected the children's rosy smiling faces. Fu Yuanhang and the others also gathered around, holding the conch that Chenchen picked up, touching, looking at, and listening, and they were all happy for him.

Fu Yuanhang: "Yes, it's Chenchen's conch."

Chenchen was very happy. Although he knew that it was a little different, and each conch was different, he liked this one very much.

Mumu took out another conch: "I also picked up a big one. I'll give this to Dongdong, so that you both have conches in the future."

Su Taotao walked over, and Chenchen excitedly handed the conch to her.

In fact, there are no two identical conches in the world. This one is very similar to Chenchen's original one. The size is about the same, and it is a little more beautiful than that one.

"Very beautiful," Su Taotao returned the conch to him, "Mom will go back and weave a net for the conch. When Chenchen picks it up to listen to the sound of the waves, he can hang it around his neck first, and he won't fall again."

Su Taotao got this inspiration from the watermelon-selling lady, who wove a net for the watermelon so that Su Taotao could carry it around, making it easy to carry and not easy to fall.

She could also make a simple one and let Chenchen hang it around her neck.
