Chapter 375 Getting better

After washing up, they went back to their rooms to rest. Li Changle diligently made the bed on the floor. After the couple finished their homework, they lay on the soft mattress, and their breathing gradually calmed down.

Li Changle hugged Zhou Ruonan and said, "Wife, when we went to Chen's to buy ice tonight, Uncle Chen said that those three warehouses were up for bid...

I want to buy it and ask Ah Hao, if the requirements for running an ice factory are not high, I can start the ice factory first, and then buy equipment and build a freezer when the big ship comes back. "

Zhou Ruonan, who was drowsy in his arms, woke up after hearing this and looked at him with a frown, "You have so many businesses, but there are only a few of us in our family, and our education level is not high. How can we manage it?"

Li Changle smiled and said, "The ice factory sells ice cubes. The daily output is there, and the number of units sold is known. You don't need a high level of education, as long as you can write and do math.

The only trouble is the maintenance of mechanical equipment. When the time comes, I will go to the commune ice factory and hire a technician with a high salary.

As long as he comes to the factory every now and then to help with maintenance and repairs, and it doesn't delay his work, there will definitely be people willing to do it."

Zhou Ruonan thought this method should work. "We already have an ice factory, why do you still need to build a freezer?"

"Both ships returned with full cargo at the same time, and the cargoes arriving at the port were dozens of tons of fresh produce. As you know, no matter how good the fresh produce is, the price will naturally drop if there are too many of them.

Now that we have a freezer, we can send the fish caught during the peak fishing season to the cold storage for cold processing, and then transport it to Lucheng and other places where seafood is scarce for sale.

Some fresh products that can be stored can be stored in the freezer and sold outside the peak season to get a better price..."

"..." Zhou Ruonan listened to him talking and didn't expect that he had considered so much and thought so far.

Thinking of Ah Le who used to wander around like a wandering ghost, if it weren’t for the fact that he felt the same as before when they were together, I would probably have suspected that he was possessed by a ghost just like in the play!

After Li Changle finished speaking, she didn't respond for a long time, "An Nan, you don't think it's good?"

"Just do what you want to do. I'll take care of the family!" Zhou Ruonan said as she hugged his sturdy waist, "I'm just worried that you're too tired..."

"Not tired, I find making money is just like smoking, it's addictive!"

"It's not an addiction, it's a sense of accomplishment. Ah Le, you're like a different person now!"

Li Changle hugged her, whispered in her ear with a smile in his eyes, "Has it changed for the better or for the worse?"

"It's getting better..." Before Zhou Ruonan could finish her words, he turned over and pressed her down...

……

The next morning, the alarm woke Li Changle up from his sleep. He turned around and saw Zhou Ruonan still sleeping. He looked at the time and saw that it was not yet seven o'clock. He reached out to turn off the alarm clock, intending to sleep for a while. He turned around and saw Li Xiaozhou turned over and got out of bed.

"Mom, I want to pee!" Li Xiaozhou said while squeezing his buttocks and twisting his body.

"Daddy will hold you to go pee!" Li Changle picked up his youngest son and walked towards the toilet.

Zhou Ruonan turned over and got up, seeing that he was holding the child to pee, she also got out of bed to find thicker clothes for her two sons.

After Li Xiaozhou finished draining the water, Li Xiaohai came over again, limping with his legs together. While peeing, he asked, "Dad, did you catch any fish last night?"

Li Changle rubbed him and said, "We got a lot. They're all in the hut."

The two children were anxious when they heard this, "Mom, Dad has caught a lot of fish, let's go see the fish!"

Zhou Ruonan looked at her two sons with a smile in her eyes, "Mother knows, there are still a lot of small squids, sardines, and sea saury. I will cook them for you later!"

"Mom, the fried fish made by grandma is delicious." Li Xiaohai said while swallowing his saliva.

"Mother, fried fish is really delicious!" Li Xiaozhou looked at her eagerly, "We want to eat fried fish!"

"Fried fish tastes best when fried in rapeseed oil. Fried fish fried in lard will be covered in a layer of oil when it gets cold, which can cause stomach upset."

"Anan, there's no rapeseed oil at home?"

"No! My mother and her friends are not used to it. They say it smells like raw oil. My mother buys it and fries it for the children to eat."

"Dad went to town to sell the fish, and then he went to buy rapeseed oil to fry fish for you guys!"

"Oh, there are fried fish to eat!" The two brothers jumped up happily.

Zhou Ruonan handed the clothes to Li Changle and his three sons and began to make the beds. The two sons put on their clothes and ran outside.

Li Changle went out carrying the toilet bucket. The rain had stopped. On the new house construction site opposite, the craftsmen had already started laying walls and applying mortar.

The sky was gray and the wind was still whistling. The monsoon was as annoying as the rainy season. But when I thought that the winter flood would soon arrive after the weather got colder, I felt happy again.

When he came back from the toilet with the toilet bucket, he saw Li Xiaozhou telling Li Xiaoyang and others that there would be fried fish for dinner today.

"Uncle San, do you really want to buy some rapeseed oil to fry some fish?"

Li Xiaoyang pulled him aside, "There are also fried fish vendors in town. Sardines sprinkled with five-spice powder are sold for 20 cents a bowl!"

Li Changle thought of the sardines that cost two cents a pound, and sold for twenty cents a bowl, which was a pretty good profit. "How big is the bowl?"

"It's as big as the bowl we use for dinner at home, so many people buy it." "Uncle San, it's delicious!"

"Wait, I'll go to town to get some oil and a bag of five-spice powder and fry it for you guys."

"Wow! Long live Third Uncle!" Several children jumped for joy.

"Third uncle and aunt are still generous. My mother and father are the stingiest!"

Before Li Xiaoyang finished speaking, Mrs. Li grabbed his ear and said, "All you know is eating. Come and help dry the water on the bamboo rack and wait for the clouds to disperse so that we can dry the dried fish."

"Hiss~" Li Xiaoyang hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Mother, my ears hurt, let go and I'll go right away."

Mrs. Li let him go and glared at Li Xiaotao, "Hurry up! You guys are still eating fried fish. If you don't help with the work, you won't get to eat the shredded sweet potatoes!"

"Got it!" A group of children followed with rags.

Li Changle put away the toilet and came out of the house. He saw Brother Li pushing a tricycle out, preparing to load the fish caught last night.

The goods should have been delivered to the town early in the morning, but everyone slept late last night and got up late this morning, so we had to go later.

"Ah Le, after dinner you and Ah Wei go to paint the bridge, and Ah An and I will help with the work at home."

"Okay!" Li Changle thought of Zhou Ruonan's agreement last night to buy the warehouse at the dock to build a freezer and ice factory, and said to Brother Li, "Brother, I have something to tell you later!"

"Uncle Adong agreed to sell the land in front to us?" asked Brother Li, holding a bamboo basket.

"I haven't asked him yet. I'll tell you guys after I drink some water!"

The two men nodded and continued to load the fish onto the truck. Fortunately, they bought two tricycles, otherwise, with so many fish, they would have to hire a tractor to deliver them to the town.

Li Changle came out, took out a cigarette and handed one to each of them, "Brother, I'll ask Uncle Dong about the land in front when I get back from Tuxia Bridge.

I want to tell you about the dock warehouse. When I was buying ice last night, Uncle Chen told me that the village was planning to bid for it...

When I was fishing with Awei last night, I told him about it. He said he would do whatever he wanted. I thought I hadn’t discussed it with Anan yet, so I didn’t tell you.

Anan has already agreed. You can discuss it with sister-in-law. If you think running a freezer and an ice factory can make money, we can do it together. If..."

"There are no ifs. We will definitely do it together!" Brother Li interrupted him. "Even if there are risks, it is better for four people to bear them together than for two people."

Awei is not a real brother, but he is not afraid of losing money. They are real brothers, so what is there to be afraid of?

To take a step back, even if they lose money by buying a warehouse and opening a freezer or ice-making factory, they still have two ships and a dry goods business, so they can make back the losses.

Brother Li looked at him and said, "An is right. How can we work with you if we think it will make money, and let you work on your own if we think it won't make money?"

Li Changle was very happy to hear them say this, "I know you will work with me. I think it would be better for you to discuss it with sister-in-law before making a decision."

"Okay, load the goods first, and I'll tell her after dinner!" Brother Li and Brother Li II said at the same time.

"Why are you guys grumbling here instead of loading the goods?"

The three brothers Li Changle turned around and saw their father standing at the door of the hut with a hoe on his shoulder. "Nothing was said. When we went to ask about the land yesterday, Uncle Dong said... there are only a few houses at the dock, and we want to buy them together."

After hearing this, Father Li said happily, "Those three warehouses at the dock are quite large. It would be nice if you buy them and then open a seafood store there in the future."

Li Changle thought he was going to object, but when he saw that he agreed, he felt relieved. "We don't plan to open a seafood store, we want to open an ice factory. There are so many ships at the dock, and every family needs to buy ice. We should be able to make money."

Father Li paused for a moment and said, "There are also ice factories in the town. There are government-run ice factories at Tuxia Bridge and Haimen Wharf. Have they been approved by the higher-ups?"

Li Changle only knew that it was very troublesome to run an ice factory in the future. He really didn't know what procedures were required now. "After I buy the house, I'll ask Ah Hao. If the higher-ups don't approve it, I won't lose money if I rent it out to others."

Father Li nodded and said, "It hasn't been bought yet, so don't tell anyone else, to avoid those who are jealous and mean to cause trouble."

"I know!" After they loaded the bamboo baskets and buckets onto the car, Li's mother and Zhou Ruonan called for dinner.

Braised mackerel, steamed hairtail, and blanched squid are all fresh goods available early in the morning.

After breakfast, Chen Yongwei hurried to Nanshan, "Brother, after delivering the goods, Achan and I will go to the street to buy some things."

Li Changle glanced at the homespun jacket on him and said, "You're wearing this to go shopping with her?
Good fellow, he is not even married yet, but he is already dressed like an old fisherman, and he is not afraid that his girlfriend will dislike him. "

Chen Yongwei pointed at Jin Chan standing at the door of the Jin family and said, "I brought it. I brought it for Ah Chan. Go to Sister Ah Xi's place to wash it and change it later, so you don't have to smell like fish."

"That's more like it! I'll go to Phoenix Restaurant to deliver the goods later. You and Achan go to my sister's place and give the fish to her while you go buy the things!"

"it is good!"

The two of them rode their tricycles to the door of the Jin family. Jin Hui and his wife also came out pushing their bicycles and followed the three of them to Tuxia Bridge.
