Chapter 610
This red tide lasted longer than everyone expected, taking five days to recede.
Everyone who had held on to a glimmer of hope before was completely in despair early on the third day.
The few fishing and light fishing boats that originally existed in the village also stopped operating at this time, and the number of women who originally liked to visit and chat has become less and less these days.
For the entire village, this natural disaster was a serious blow.
Zhao Qin has not gone out these days, and he is also powerless about matters in the village.
The red tide finally receded today. Early in the morning, the village organized people to pick up garbage at the beach.
It used to be voluntary labor, but this year the village is not short of money, so each person is 50 yuan per day, which can be regarded as recruiting all the idle women in the village.
Early in the morning, Zhao Qin went out with a bucket and a long-arm clamp. The next moment, four dogs, one large and five small, all rushed in front of him and circled around his legs.
Zhao Qin picked up the four puppies one by one and inspected them. He stroked them twice before putting them down. He said to Pomegranate, “You are not allowed to go to the beach these days. If you go, you won’t see me break your dog legs.”
Hu Zi and Da Zhuang on the sea can understand him, and Pomegranate should also be able to understand him.
Sure enough, the dog barked twice, and Zhao Qin was satisfied and patted the dog on the head.
Not only Ahe, Laomao and others, but also many people in the village came to have the idea of puppies, but he was reluctant to give one away and waited for the next litter.
After leaving the door, he frowned after walking a few steps, quickly took out the mask and put it on.
There is no way, the weather is too hot, because the red tide makes the entire beach smell bad, and the smell can reach the village.
I wanted to ask Ah He to come with me, but the next moment I realized, Ah He was following Dayu.
Passing by the pier, I happened to meet Lao Mao and the others, “Where are you going?”
“Go to the bamboo rafts, pour out all the oysters and find a place to bury them, and give the cages a good wash.”
Zhao Qin nodded without saying anything. He walked around in a circle and came to the east beach. He took a look and sighed. There were layers of small white fish on the side, some of which were rotten. They were all blue fish.
It is mixed with plum and anchovies, and occasionally big fish, such as sea bass and aconite, can be found.
There were also a lot of shrimps and crabs, and he also saw the corpse of a horseshoe crab.
Sigh again, red tide is devastating to marine life.
After a while, many people gathered in front of and behind him. They were all the same, each with a long clip. If so many women gathered together, it must have been like a duck pen.
But today, everyone spoke very softly, and many people were not interested in chatting at all.
“Aqin, I’m afraid it will take two days to finish.” Lao Zhang came over and sighed while picking up side by side with him.
“Two days is nothing. I estimate it will take at least half a month before I can go to sea.” The two of them chatted and picked it up.
The smell of seafood was more unacceptable than other smells, so Zhao Qin didn’t smoke a cigarette for the whole morning because he didn’t dare to take off his mask.
Zhao Qin didn’t plan to receive any salary from the village, so he only worked for one morning.
When I came to town in the afternoon, I heard Chen Dong sighing. There would be no seafood to harvest in the next period of time, and even if there was, he wouldn’t dare to harvest it.
“There are some frozen products in the seafood, there are only so many alive, take it if you want.” Chen Dong pointed to the large fish tank against the wall and said.
“Let’s divide it between the two of us. We should keep some at home.”
There will be no seafood for the next period of time, so it’s not unbearable, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t have fish for one day, but if I don’t have fish for two or three days, I always feel that something is missing, so I can only think about stocking up at the purchasing station.
Before the two of them could figure out how to separate, they saw Old Zhu Fengfeng running over.
“What’s going on? Aren’t you over there in Xiqiao Town staring at the decoration of the new store?” Zhao Qin asked angrily when he saw him bending over and beating his legs.
Lao Zhu has something wrong with his legs and is lame a little, so he will be very tired if he runs fast.
“Mr. Chen, how many overseas goods are there, can I take care of them?” Lao Zhu ignored Zhao Qin, but looked at Chen Dong and smiled fawningly.
Both of them understood that seafood could not be used. It was fine for normal people, but it was a headache for fast food restaurants.
After all, we are at the pier, and most of the daily items are seafood. Don’t think that selling mainly seafood means high-end.
On the contrary, there are still a lot of high-quality and cheap seafood locally, such as oysters, and fast food restaurants also sell steamed oysters for two and a half yuan each, as well as balang, anchovy, water fish, etc.
Three or four taels per tail can be steamed for three or four yuan, and fish like seabass are almost sold in paragraphs.
The daily demand for seafood in fast food restaurants is extremely high, and the sudden red tide is very likely to prevent fast food restaurants from receiving good raw materials. This is why Lao Zhu is worried.
“Okay, look at what’s fresh and cold in the warehouse.You need it.”
Old Zhu went in and took a look. He almost bought everything, but it was far from enough. He had to go to other purchasing stations to continue ordering.
“Aqin, I’m leaving first.”
“Let Old Peng do this. He has bad legs. By the way, where’s your motorcycle?”
Old Zhu grinned. “Old Peng rode the motorcycle to the neighboring town. He is watching the progress of the decoration there today. I’m running around in this town.”
“Then you must write a notice and post it on the door when you go back, stating which purchasing station or sales point the current ingredients come from, and that they are not seafood purchased before the red tide, so that customers can eat with peace of mind.”
“I know, I’ll do it when I get back.”
After Old Zhu left, Chen Dong asked curiously, “That fast food restaurant has always been doing well, but how much money can it make? Have you calculated it?”
“It has been open for 5 months. Last time, Lao Liu showed me the account book. After deducting expenses, it can still make more than 40,000 yuan a month, which is quite good. ”
In fact, the current popularity of fast food restaurants has really exceeded Zhao Qin’s expectations.
He didn’t expect that the locals would be so popular with this kind of fast food restaurant. During the peak hours every day, there were not enough tables for dine-in, and many people had to wait. There were also many take-aways, accounting for about one-third of the total sales.
Especially at night, there is only one in the town, and the business is particularly good.
There were originally five or six fast food businesses nearby, but now there are only two. If Brother Zhong hadn’t arranged for people in the office to visit the fast food restaurant from time to time, it is inevitable that someone would come to make trouble.
“So, Lao Zhu can get 100,000 yuan a year?”
“It’s hard-earned money.”
Chen Dong nodded. It is true that money can be earned, but it is also hard work.
“By the way, the business of the newly opened store is not very good. I went there once last time and felt that there was something wrong with the ingredients. ”
“They want to copy our model, so they have requirements for the number of dishes. If the business is not good, it will lead to a backlog of dishes.
And those people are reluctant to throw away the dishes. They are a bit stubborn in business, so they often sell the dishes from noon in the evening, or sell the leftovers from yesterday today.
Brother Dong, the taste and appearance of the dishes that have been reheated twice will be very different.”
Chen Dong smiled and pointed to the newly opened fast food restaurant across the street. “I heard that the eldest son of the landlord and others are in partnership.
I met the landlord two days ago. He complained to me for a long time and said that he had lost a lot of money. It would be better to sell the house directly to you. ”
Zhao Qin also laughed, not gloating, he chose it on the road, who can blame him,
I wanted to buy it at that time and raised the price.
