Chapter 99 Lin Qin's Plan
Lin Qin nodded and pointed to the sink next to her. Seeing that there were still two fish that had not been processed, she asked, "Does my cousin know how to kill fish?"
Huang Yuezhen nodded, "I know a little bit. When the village built a fish pond, we were allowed to take some small fish and shrimps away. They are fine after simple processing, but they have a strong fishy smell and are not tasty."
Lin Qin immediately took out a knife and taught her, "You do this, cut a knife from the belly of the fish, don't cut the internal organs, take out the entire internal organs, then scrape off the fish scales, and cut off the fins, and that's it."
Huang Yuezhen watched very seriously, and said with a simple smile: "In the past, we were given small fish. The internal organs would be pierced with a snip of the scissors, so we couldn't do it so well. It seems that you find it easy to kill fish."
Lin Ying laughed out loud, "Of course not! That's what they do for a living, practice makes perfect! By the way, what do my cousin and his wife plan to do in the city?"
Huang Yuezhen shook her head, a little confused. "I don't know either, but many people in the village have left. Those who left the village the earliest last year all came back with money at the end of the year. My parents-in-law were tempted when they heard about it. They also wanted us to save more money for the family. After all, we still have three children to support, and we will have to spend money to marry a daughter-in-law in the future."
Lin Ying agreed, "That's because we need to work hard to make money. I have two kids at home, and I'm worried about that too! But the most important thing now is to build a house. Only when we have a house can we think about other things."
The three women prepared a table of food while they were talking.
When the dishes were served, Huang Yuezhen kept praising Lin Qin's cooking skills and said that she had broadened her horizons.
Lin Yi looked very happy and beamed when his daughter was praised.
Speaking of working.
Seeing that Hong Weimin had no idea, Lin Yi advised: "You guys stay here for two days. There will be more job openings after the 15th. If you don't feel comfortable living here, you can help me farm these days. Ah Qin wants to plant fruit trees on the hillside, so she needs to dig a lot of holes and accumulate fertilizer. There are so many things to do, and it's hard for me to do it alone!"
Hong Weimin and his wife already knew that the entire Nanyu belonged to Chen Wenjun, and they also knew that what Lin Yi said was true, so they readily agreed.
With the addition of the two of them, Nanyu was obviously a lot more lively. Lin Ying's family had originally planned to go back on the fifth day of the New Year, but they stayed until the sixth.
Before leaving.
Lin Qin stuffed three hundred yuan into Lin Ying's pocket.
Lin Ying immediately became anxious, "What are you doing? What are you giving me this money for?"
Lin Qin whispered, "This money belongs to Dad. He knows you want to build a house and is worried that you don't have enough money. Take it first and build the house. If you have money in the future, you can return it to Dad. If you don't have money, forget it. Anyway, there are only two of us sisters. I don't care, and you don't have to care either.
During the summer vacation, you can bring Ajian and Akang to live with us. We have food and entertainment at home, and we can also take them out to earn some pocket money. It is better than staying with you guys anyway."
Lin Ying was moved, and immediately took Lin Qin's hand happily, "Then I'll thank you on their behalf! I'll send them over as soon as I have a holiday, so I can focus on building the house."
It is said that the house should be built after the first month of the lunar year, but there is still a lot of farm work to do after the first month of the lunar year. After finishing the work in the fields, you will start working again. You will also encounter the continuous and changeable weather in late spring and early summer. By the time the weather stabilizes, it will be summer. If you start building the house then, you will have to wait until autumn.
Lin Ying really doesn't have much time to take care of the two naughty boys. The children are sent to Lin Qin's place and Lin Yi is looking after them, so at least they won't have to finish their summer homework.
After Lin Ying's family left, Lin Qin and Chen Wenjun returned to their busy lives of making money.
It just so happened that everyone had almost eaten up all the food they bought before the Chinese New Year, but the Chinese New Year had not yet ended, so they went to Nangang to wholesale a boatload of seafood, which was snatched up by people who had heard about it as soon as they arrived at the vegetable market.
It was the first time for the couple to do business in the first month of the lunar year, and they didn’t know whether people had raised their prices, so they sold at the usual price.
After I had sold almost all of my products, I realized that prices have not recovered yet and will have to wait until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to return to normal prices.
In other words, both of them sold at a loss.
Fortunately, the couple were both open-minded people and did not take it to heart. After returning from the vegetable market, they took a nap and then set off for Nangang in the afternoon to wholesale a boatload of seafood to Guoxing Hotel.
Zheng Guoxing's restaurant opened on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Quite a few people came to eat there in the past few days. However, the ingredients were scarce and expensive, and he was too embarrassed to go to Nanyu to find Chen Wenjun, so he just wandered around various vegetable markets by himself.
Just when he was worried about not being able to buy good things, Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin sent him seafood.
At this moment, Zheng Guoxing seemed to see his long-lost relative. He threw himself on Chen Wenjun and said a lot of disgusting words.
Lin Qin got goosebumps when she heard this.
The waiter came over to help and took the things off the cart first. Chen Wenjun then had to go back to load the second cart.
Zheng Guoxing said casually: "I think you should switch to a tricycle! Spend some money and buy a tricycle. It will be convenient for both delivering goods and setting up stalls. At least it will save time and effort."
Chen Wenjun took out a cigarette and handed it to Zheng Guoxing, "Do you know any connections there?"
Zheng Guoxing grinned, "Even if I don't have it, I have to get it for you! This is related to my business!"
Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin smiled at each other.
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Zheng. I'll leave first, and Aqin will stay to check the accounts with you."
While Lin Qin was busy, Huang Wenlong came over with a few people to eat. Seeing the seafood, he was very excited, "Sister-in-law! I was just looking for you! Guoxing said you got a lot of fresh seafood, can you send some to the construction site?"
"No problem!" Lin Qin agreed, a little puzzled, "But it seems that this project is almost finished!"
Huang Wenlong shook his head like a rattle. "Originally, we were supposed to finish the project by this summer, but a few days ago I had a chat with someone from the municipal government and they said that there was another auxiliary road, so we have to work on it for another year."
Lin Qin thought for a moment, then stood up and discussed with Huang Wenlong, "Boss Huang, my husband is in the seafood business. I originally wanted to quit after the project was almost finished, but now it's going to take a year. I'm afraid I can't do it for that long. Can you recruit someone new? I can wait until you find the right person."
Huang Wenlong's face fell instantly. "Sister-in-law, this news is really a bolt from the blue for me. To be honest, if I could find a suitable candidate, I wouldn't have the audacity to ask you this. Otherwise, can you help me find out and recommend a suitable candidate to me?"
"Sure, sure." Lin Qin agreed readily, thinking that she could give this job to Huang Yuezhen.
So she told Huang Wenlong about Huang Yuezhen's situation in detail, "That's my cousin's wife. The couple just started looking for work this year. My cousin's wife has cooked these days and her cooking skills are pretty good. If Boss Huang is willing to use her, I will teach her how to cook some seafood these days."
