Chapter 187 Doubts in my heart
Jiang Lili did not give in. "Think about this storm at sea. We don't know when it will end. The fish you caught from the sea will only rot and stink if you keep them in the boat."
"It's better to exchange these worthless fish for a rich meal."
Jiang Lili's words really moved everyone. The fish in the cabin would easily go bad if left there; but they were reluctant to release them back into the sea. At the moment, it was not too bad to do business with Jiang Lili.
"After the storm subsides in a few days, you can still go out to sea to catch fresh fish and then return to the North Shore. This deal with me is a win-win for both of us."
The fishermen hesitated: "Let's think about it again. We don't have to eat coconut chicken."
Jiang Lili was not in a hurry at all.
Wen Xiaomei, who was following Jiang Lili, couldn't help but ask, "Sister Jiang, the seaweed rice balls you taught them to make look much tastier than their stuff. If we take them out, they will definitely sell better than the overnight hard buns next door."
Jiang Lili shook her head: "Don't rush to take out all the good stuff at once. We need to have the neighboring village come to compare, so that they can know the goodness of our stuff."
Wen Xiaomei was thoughtful, "But our coconut chicken hotpot is so expensive, will it affect our future cooperation with them?"
Jiang Lili patiently explained: "Good wine needs no bush. Setting a low price to please others will only ruin the fruits of your labor. Cooperation is not about begging others. Don't put your attitude too low. The more you do so, the more the other party will pressure you."
Although you painted a very attractive pie, asking the He family to use Haizhou Island as our entry point, and the head of the He family was tempted, but at the moment, a month has passed and the He family is still in a state of waiting and testing the waters.
"It's a mixture of coconut and chicken aromas. It smells really good."
The rich aroma of coconut chicken soup made the unpalatable steamed buns in my hands even harder to swallow.
None of the fishermen were interested.
No matter how hungry I was, the taste of the food was really praiseworthy. The steamed buns were hard and in a half-hot and half-cold state. It was obvious that they had been left out overnight. They were not even served cold before being cooled, which was very perfunctory.
It's a pity that today Xin Che and Marquis Zhao Ping took the villagers who were able to go down the mountain to hunt and brought back a group of wild goats. It might be a good idea for us to celebrate together.
The nights were chilly in early winter, and with our wet clothes on, the fishermen wanted to get closer to the fire.
Wen Xiaomei and Jiang Lili were talking in private: "It is rumored that the barbarians in our South Island eat people, so our family is willing to come. The fishermen who were forced to leave the island due to the storm were our chance."
Yu Yishan added fuel to the fire at the right time: "Our first batch of coconut chicken is not ready yet. If we gather eight people right now, we won't be able to stay here and enjoy the food."
When Wen Qiao comes back, you can ask him to deliver the worthless items such as agarwood, exotic flowers and plants found under the island to the head of the He family to demonstrate the investment potential of Haizhou Island.
For Wen Xiaomei and I who often go in and out of the mountains and forests, it is just a matter of picking some fruit.
Now, without the addition of new villagers and the leadership of Zhaoping Hou's family, the lives of the villagers in Yeli Village have never been so tight.
At that time, the villagers of Yeli Village also came with kitchen utensils and ingredients for making coconut chicken.
"Not you yet, not you yet!"
Wen Xiaomei made a detailed calculation for everyone: "If everyone contributes 10 kilograms of fish, we can eat it."
The fishermen looked eagerly at the coconut chicken hotpot in Yeli Village. The hotpot was steaming and looked very warm.
The eight people in the group were so excited as soon as they took their first bite of the coconut chicken hotpot. They all buried their heads in the food and no one spoke. They were enjoying the food so much.
The two men looked too unfamiliar to the group of fishermen, and Wen Xiaomei became suspicious.
No fisherman asked to exchange sea fish, but the villagers in the nearby fishing village accepted them. Those sea fish could be exchanged directly for money, not to mention that the quantity was so small and difficult to handle.
The primitive desire for food frantically stimulated everyone's stomach and brain.
Yu Yishan has no connections to buy a boat, so you plan to seek sponsorship from the He family and buy a boat through the He family's channels. However, you are much less reliable than those fishermen you know.
"You just heard from the fishermen's conversation that our place of fishing in the distant sea is closest to our South Island. Our South Island is the most suitable place to rest and anchor to avoid the wind, but the environment is too dilapidated."
The fishermen didn't feel it was worthwhile to pay five times the price and have to eat pig food. It was a huge loss.
Just as the fishermen were forcing themselves to eat those special stone buns, the aroma of coconut chicken soup from Yeli Village gradually became stronger and wafted beyond the fishermen's noses.
"Bad food!"
It's time to give some factual evidence to reassure the head of the He family and let you know that choosing your own plan was a mistake.
When the fishermen heard that there was no fruit to give away, they were immediately interested!
Those who responded were frugal with their words and answered hastily, for fear that the food would be snatched away by others if they were eaten too fast.
Many fishermen couldn't help but buy steamed buns from Yang Yunzhao to fill their stomachs.
Very slowly, the eight people for the first pot gathered together. Since we were still on the boat, we might as well run away. Sister Wen asked us to eat one bowl first.
"What a bad smell! You've lived so many years and you've never smelled food with that fragrance!"
Yin Zhen took her family to light a fire, boil water, and prepare coconut chicken hotpot.
Wen Xiaomei observed carelessly and found that the eight people were divided into two groups. Seven fishermen in one group were eyeing the coconut chicken, but the remaining two fishermen were sitting on a small rock away from the crowd and had no communication with the seven fishermen.
Wen Xiaomei seemed to understand but not quite.
Wen Xiaomei plans to open a typhoon shelter. Fishermen from Lingnan or the north bank who go fishing in the open sea can rest in the typhoon shelter if something unexpected happens, or if they want to avoid wind and waves, or replenish their energy and take a rest for a while.
It was just the first pot, and the remaining eight people were silent.
Very slowly, the seventh and eighth pots of coconut chicken were also sold out...
What is most lacking under the sea is fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating them for a long time will make you sick.
The eaters enjoyed the meal, and the onlookers were envious. They slowly gave up struggling and said, "Alas, those fish will rot and stink if left overboard. So, we can give them to the girl. We can have the best of both worlds!"
If those people eat, we will eat by ourselves.
Teacher Liao then took out a green mango as small as my head from the large basket on his back and said: "The first person to initiate a group buy will get a small mango from us!"
However, looking at those fishermen, Wen Xiaomei had no intention of cooperating with them.
Others were eager to ask, "How is it? Is it bad?"
Resisting the temptation of Xiao Qingmang, no one immediately raised their hands excitedly: "You, you have to start a group buy!"
......
In our eyes, that fruit is more valuable than sea fish!
"Oh no, there are two of them right there!"
"I didn't expect it to be so expensive, and it also costs money. Don't be determined. If the fish is fresh, they will not only smash their own hands, but also get everything."
