Chapter 263 Seafood Restaurant Opening
"Uncle, uncle" The next day, at around ten twenty in the morning, Zhang Ze successfully picked up his two uncles and their families at the train station.
This time they even brought their children with them, apparently planning to spend the New Year in Nanfang.
The uncle patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Not bad, you look much better than when you were in Wenshui City."
Zhang Ze smiled and said, "Let's get in the car and go back first. My mother is still waiting for you at home!"
"Okay, okay. By the way, how is your mother getting used to living here? How is her health?" asked my second uncle.
"She is in good health. You will know the details when you come to my house." Zhang Ze took them outside, where he had arranged four taxis.
There are too many people, all carrying large and small bags, and there is not enough space in the car.
Of course, these taxis were for my cousins and their families. He also drove over himself and arranged for the elders to ride in his car.
When the group saw that the car Zhang Ze was talking about was actually a car, they were all stunned.
"Aze, why did you call so many taxis? The fares are so expensive!" Although my aunt said this, she couldn't stop smiling.
This nephew is so good at arranging things. She has never taken a car in her life! "It's okay. If we don't arrange a taxi, there won't be enough space for so many of you." Zhang Ze said with a smile, then led them to his car and took out the key to open it.
When the group saw that he had his own car, they were all stunned.
Lu Zhou also came with his wife this time. He just happened to have taken annual leave and was originally planning to spend time with his family, but he couldn't resist his wife's pleading and ended up coming to Nanfang.
He also brought money from his parents, but he will go back after the wedding.
He was quite surprised to see the car. Compared with the others, he was more knowledgeable and knew that it was a Santana, which cost more than 200,000 yuan. Lu Zhou did not expect that Zhang Ze would be able to do so well after coming to Nanfang.
Zhang Qinghe also came this time. It would be unreasonable for him not to come to his good brother's sister's wedding as they had such a good relationship before.
He had already nodded to Zhang Ze just now, and since they were their elders, they just simply greeted them.
But he couldn't help it now, he walked over quickly, looked at the car in disbelief and said: "Aze, did you buy this car?"
"That's not the case. Someone else gave it to me."
"ah?"
When they heard that it was a gift from someone else, everyone was more surprised than when they heard that he bought it himself. What's the connection? It even came as a gift from a car.
It was hard to explain what happened at the moment. There were more than 20 people in the group, and many of them were children, which was not convenient for them to stand on the roadside. Zhang Ze simply asked everyone to get in the car first and talk about other things after they got back.
When they returned home and saw the magnificent big house, everyone realized that Zhang Ze had really made it.
Zhang's mother was also very excited to see her relatives, and she took her two uncles and aunt to chat.
The wives of several cousins, including my cousin, gathered with sisters Tong Shuyao and Zhang Qian.
Zhang Wu became the leader of the kids, while Zhang Ze and others were talking outside.
Everyone gathered into small circles and tried to get information from Zhang Ze's family.
"Aze, what are you doing here? How come you are doing so well?" Zhang Zhenghong asked, putting his arm around his shoulders.
"It's still my old job, going out to sea fishing." Zhang Ze told the truth.
"How is that possible? We go out to sea every day. But let alone a car, I can't even afford a motorcycle now. I thought I was doing pretty well and earned much more in a month than the workers in the factory, but I didn't expect that compared with you, I'm just this little bit." Zhang Qinghe stretched out his little finger, looking a little puzzled.
"Are you still fishing near the coast like before?" Zhang Ze asked.
Several people nodded: "What else?"
Zhang Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Well, after I came here, I changed to a big ship and went to the open sea. There are more resources in the open sea. I can go out to sea for three or four days at a time and sell fish for two or three thousand when I come back."
"I got this car from a hawksbill turtle shell I found a while ago. It was quite valuable, so I sold it to someone else and bought a car."
"You know Ah Hang, right? He's my brother-in-law. He owns a trawler. Although he doesn't make as much as I do, he already has a house, a motorcycle, and so on. So if you want to make more money, you have to own a big boat."
Except for Lu Zhou, everyone else was a little stunned. They didn't expect that they could make so much money just by changing to a big ship and going to the open sea.
After chatting for a while and talking about some of his experiences in Nanfang, Zhang Ze arranged for his relatives to have a meal at a restaurant.
When they met their acquaintance Zhao Xianghua, Zhang Qinghe and others were also a little surprised. They didn't expect that he would come here too.
Nanfang is indeed much larger than Wenshui City and seems to be better developed.
Zhang Zhenghong and his brothers didn't have any extra ideas, but Zhang Qinghe had some thoughts.
After lunch, Zhang Ze took them to the two newly purchased houses and arranged for them to move in.
Zhang Qinghe, his cousin and his husband were arranged to live in their own home. The house here was given to his elder uncle and younger uncle's families. The house was big and could accommodate them all.
The day passed quickly.
The next morning, Zhang Ze got up early.
Today is the day when his eldest sister is getting married, and the process is similar to when he married Tong Shuyao.
It was just a pity for Jiang Jiting who came to pick up the bride, as giving out the red envelopes was of no use.
A group of people blocked the way and refused to let them in. Finally, Zhang Qian got a little anxious. Zhang Ze couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked his brother-in-law to leave some hair on his calves before he successfully persuaded the relatives to open the door.
Jiang Jiting wiped the two drops of horse urine that came out in pain, then forced a smile again, went into the house and carried the bride out.
He let Zhang Qian sit on the back seat of the bicycle and rode the bicycle to take the bride home.
Zhang Ze's family members started to go to the restaurant, waiting for the bride and groom and the groom's relatives to come.
Of course, all his friends from the fishing village came today, including his third sister who came with Lin Long.
Today they both attended Zhang Qian's wedding, and tomorrow it will be their turn to get married.
However, their banquet was held in the village, and it was too troublesome to come to the city.
For two consecutive days, Zhang Ze spent his time eating and drinking, and even though he had a good alcohol tolerance, he was still drunk.
On the first day of his sister's wedding, he was the representative of the bride, and everyone came to toast him.
The next day, because of his help to Lin Long and Lin Hu, and because Zhang's mother acted as an elder to the two brothers, a group of people came to get him drunk again and made him drunk.
After the wedding, Zhang Ze started to eat New Year’s Eve dinners everywhere.
My elder and younger uncles came to Nanguan to celebrate the New Year, and they set up a separate table for each of them.
There are four fishing villages including Jin Sanbao and Jin Fan, and each trip takes two days.
Including his father-in-law, mother-in-law and his own family, his plans for the New Year are fully packed.
In other words, the children are still young and they are not planning to go to Hong Kong Island this year, otherwise they would have to eat a few more meals.
Lu Wenbin went back after attending Zhang Qian's wedding, planning to come back on the tenth day of the first lunar month next year. He didn't even plan to come for the opening of the seafood restaurant.
He invested in this because of Zhang Ze, and he didn't really care about the seafood restaurant.
His family’s main business is clothing, so the focus is also on this.
Lu Zhou and his cousin had already gone back, as well as Zhang Qinghe.
He did not tell Zhang Ze about his idea of developing in Nanfang. This was a serious matter and he had to discuss it with his family first.
Apart from going out to eat and drink during the New Year, Zhang Ze spent the rest of his time at home with his wife and children.
He didn't even go to play cards with his cousins and brothers-in-law. He really had no interest in these things. How could they be as happy as being a dad?
"Bang"
"Snap"
The sudden sound of firecrackers in the yard scared the sleeping Xiao Zhaonan. When she woke up, she started crying immediately, and also woke up Zhang Ze who was sleeping with the baby.
Zhang Ze immediately picked up the child and coaxed him, while walking out of the room.
"One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four."
In the living room, Tong Shuyao and Zhang Qing were doing gymnastics following the instructions on TV.
She felt that the flesh on her belly was loose and soft after giving birth, which looked ugly. She learned from Zhang Ze that doing gymnastics and yoga could help her restore her body shape, so she dragged her sister-in-law to do it with her every day.
Occasionally, Zhang Qian would go back to her parents' home and accompany them.
"The baby is awake?" Tong Shuyao stopped immediately when she saw him carrying the baby out.
"It's okay, just continue. Awu and a few kids were setting off firecrackers in the yard and woke up the child!" Zhang Ze coaxed the child while letting her continue with her own business.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Awu, this little bastard." Zhang's mother was listening to the radio while knitting a sweater for her child and she didn't really notice her little son playing in the yard.
When she learned that her precious grandson was woken up, she immediately got up and went out. Soon, the yard was filled with the mother's lioness roar and Zhang Wu's ghostly screams.
At first, his youngest son was the favorite, but now that he has an even younger precious grandson, Zhang Wu's original status disappeared instantly.
Only in this way can we feel the festive atmosphere during the Chinese New Year.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was the second day of the first lunar month, and Zhang Ze was ready to go out to sea.
There was no way. The seafood restaurant would open on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. He would not go out to sea this time, so how could he get the fish out of the space?
But Zhang Ze was just pretending. There were already enough big fish in the space, so he just found a few places and caught some deep-sea fish.
We left on the second day of the Chinese New Year and returned in the afternoon of the fourth day.
"Hey, Aze, didn't you just go out to sea? Why are you back so soon?" Some villagers were very surprised to see Zhang Ze returning.
Not many people go out to sea on the second day of the Lunar New Year, as everyone celebrates the New Year at home.
However, the poor family has already started mending the nets, and they will probably have to go out to sea in two days, otherwise what will they eat at home.
"After the Chinese New Year, the fish are big and fat! Look, I haven't even gone out to sea yet, but I've already caught a lot of big fish!"
"Is it true?" The villagers were skeptical. But when they got on board and saw all kinds of valuable big fish lying in the refrigerated compartment, they gasped.
"Wow, it's really big and fat. No, I have to fix the net at home and go out to sea quickly."
The fishermen, who were originally planning to take a break for a while, could no longer sit still after seeing Zhang Ze's harvest.
Playing cards every day when you have nothing to do and lying down to rest are naturally comfortable.
But who would want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune? The entire fishing village immediately got excited, and everyone was preparing to go out to sea in the next few days.
Jin Sanbao, Lin Long and others also came to the dock after hearing the news. When they saw a row of large ships on the boat, they couldn't sit still anymore and immediately prepared to go out to sea.
But Zhang Ze stopped them: "Why are you going to Yuanhai to join them? You should have some fun and rest. Besides, my seafood restaurant will open the day after tomorrow, so don't you have to come over too?"
"That's right!" Jin Sanbao and his companions gave up the idea of going out to sea immediately.
Their trawler will not be available until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and they are planning to sell their original fishing boat. It is indeed not suitable to go out to sea at this time.
Afterwards, several people helped to put the big fish and other catches onto the truck. Lin Hu drove the car and Zhang Ze sat in the passenger seat as they headed for a pier on the Pearl River.
The seafood restaurant's cold storage is over there, and all the catches have to be stored in it.
Zhang Ze did not take out the live fish this time, so there is no need to rush for the time being.
When they arrived at the dock warehouse, Zhao Xianghua, who had received a phone call from Lin Long, was already waiting there.
This is related to the opening of the seafood restaurant the day after tomorrow, and he attaches great importance to this matter.
Before, I had been urging Zhang Ze to get some big fish. Even the big fish he caught before the New Year, he didn't collect them, but put them in the warehouse for future use.
"Aze, I heard from Aaron that you caught a lot of big fish this time when you went out to sea?"
"You'll know if you take a look for yourself." Zhang Ze smiled and made a gesture of invitation, asking him to get in the car and take a look himself.
Zhao Xianghua didn't hesitate and climbed onto the trunk immediately.
"Such a big red-billed sturgeon, not bad."
"Wow, I've never seen a giant grouper this big!"
"Hiss, this yellow croaker is bigger than the one you sold me."
Zhao Xianghua was shocked by the catches. The first three were heavyweights.
The next few fish are bigger and may have a lower total value, but they have a stronger visual impact.
Especially the black marlin, Zhao Xianghua felt that the fish could swallow him in one bite.
"Okay, okay, with these big guys, the opening of our seafood restaurant the day after tomorrow will definitely shock everyone and leave a deep impression on everyone."
Seeing the catch, Zhao Xianghua showed joy and finally felt relieved.
In fact, he was very puzzled as to how Zhang Ze managed to catch these rare big fish when he went out to sea. One or two could be considered good luck, but so many was a bit outrageous.
But this was someone else's secret, and he knew very well that he couldn't ask.
After chatting about the details of the opening the day after tomorrow, he hurried back to prepare.
Although Lin Long and Lin Hu will come here to work in the future, Zhao Xianghua will still be responsible for the management of the seafood restaurant.
Therefore, he was the busiest person when the seafood restaurant opened. Many things had to have a detailed plan and then be handed over to his subordinates to do.
Time passed quickly and it was time for the seafood restaurant to open.
A small stage was set up at the pier, and rows of seafood restaurants were neatly parked at the pier, which was quite spectacular.
Zhao Xianghua had already started advertising before the New Year. Although the investment was not much, the dock was still crowded at this moment. Obviously, everyone was very curious about what this so-called seafood restaurant was.
Even though Nanfang is very close to Hong Kong Island, very few people can go there, and seafood restaurants are very unfamiliar to them.
Some of the best seats in front of the stage, listening to the cars passing by.
This was discussed by Zhang Ze and Zhao Xianghua and prepared for some wealthy and prestigious people who were invited.
Seafood restaurants are destined to be unaffordable for ordinary people. Their main customers are the wealthy people in Nanfang.
The treatment would naturally be better to distinguish them from ordinary people.
It is now 1981, and social classes have gradually begun to differentiate. It is time to let ordinary people know.
It’s not that you don’t work hard, but that it’s useless even if you work hard.
The minimum consumption at the seafood restaurant is seventy-nine, which is not affordable for ordinary people.
