Li Chao nodded calmly.
If Xiang Yang only invested one-third and did not interfere in management, Li Chao would be relatively satisfied with Xiang Yang's distribution, which was much better than the bottom line he could accept.
"Okay, I will make a budget as quickly as possible. Is there anything else? If not, I'll get busy first." Li Chao stood up and said.
“No more.”
Xiang Yang didn't linger and stood up directly.
After leaving Li Chao's temporary office in Qinglongwan, Xiang Yang thought about going to Fang Youqun's house again to see the three tourists and see if they were used to their place.
But when I arrived at Fang Youqun's house, I didn't see Fang Youqun, let alone the three tourists.
After asking Fang Youqun's father, we found out that Fang Youqun and the three tourists had gone out after lunch and had never returned.
The person hasn't come back and the car is parked in the yard, so it is most likely on the beach.
Xiang Yang immediately said goodbye to Fang Youqun's house and turned to walk towards the beach.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the beach, Xiang Yang saw Fang Youqun and the three tourists soaking in the sea water. Fang Youqun and Zhuo Shao were each holding a plastic bucket, as if they were groping for something on the seabed.
"Are you panning for gold here?" Xiang Yang stood at the dock and shouted into the sea with a smile.
Fang Youqun saw Xiang Yang standing on the dock and quickly swam towards the shore with a bucket in his hand, "Brother Yang, we are catching green dragon algae."
Green dragon algae is a very common seaweed on the seashore. It is edible and eating more can lower cholesterol.
However, most of the villagers don’t like to eat this green dragon algae because it has a very fishy smell.
"Why did you think of coming here to catch agar-agar? How was it, did you get anything?" Xiang Yang asked.
"Mr. Zhuo said he likes to eat it, so I accompanied him down. We had a good harvest, almost half a bucket." Fang Youqun climbed up from the bottom of the sea and handed the bucket to Xiang Yang with excitement on his face.
Xiang Yang didn't look at the plastic bucket.
There are a lot of agar-agar in the Qinglongwan waters, just like seaweed, it is spread all over the bay. Xiang Yang expected that Fang Youqun would be able to catch agar-agar.
It’s just that Zhuo Shao likes to eat this thing. Xiang Yang finds it a bit weird. This thing has such a strong fishy smell, and yet anyone likes to eat it
In fact, people living by the sea don’t like to eat agar-agar, just like people living inland don’t like to eat radishes and cabbages. They just eat them so often that they get tired of them.
In fact, agar-agar is a seafood that many inland people like to eat very much because of its lightness, easy preservation and transportation.
However, people in the inland don't call it agar-agar or green dragon algae.
Most consumers prefer to just call it seaweed.
After being transported inland, agar-agar is mainly sold to various kimchi shops. It and jellyfish are frequent customers in kimchi shops.
When the kimchi ingredients cover up the fishy smell of agar-agar itself, it actually tastes quite delicious, crisp and refreshing, chewier than fresh radish and easier to chew than dried radish, making it very popular among consumers.
At this time, Zhuo Shao also climbed out of the sea with a plastic bucket. He walked up to Xiang Yang with a smile and said, "Boss Xiang, why are you here? It's just right. Look what I caught. I'll treat you to some mixed seaweed tonight."
"I don't really like eating agar-agar. I can't appreciate its taste." Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head.
Although agar-agar and kelp are both marine plants, agar-agar cannot be cooked at all. It will become mushy once cooked and the best way to eat it is to mix it with cold salad.
But Xiang Yang prefers to eat cooked food.
"Don't eat it? That's a pity. This thing is delicious and it's not cheap." Zhuo Shao said with a smile.
Xiang Yang smiled and said nothing.
Agar may not be cheap in inland areas.
But at the seaside, fishermen generally find this thing an eyesore when they see it, let alone pick it.
Only those who engage in breeding will occasionally collect some to feed the fish.
"I came to see you guys to see if you are used to our Qinglongwan." Xiang Yang said with a smile: "If there is anything you need my help with, or if there is anything I need to improve, please feel free to ask."
Xiang Yang really needs these real tourists now, and they can provide some very valuable suggestions for Qinglongwan.
"They are all good, and the cost is not high, but shopping is not very convenient." Zhuo Shao said with a smile: "The main reason is that there are not many places to consume. I want to find a place to drink later, but I can't find a place."
"That's not the case." Xiang Yang looked at the sky and said, "It's still early now. If you want to drink, wait a little longer. At night, there will be some barbecue stalls at the west end of the village. You may go there to sit. Many crew members on my ship like to sit there at night."
Originally, there were no barbecue stalls in Yanlong Village.
In the past, the village was so poor that even small vendors were unwilling to come here.
It was only after Xiang Yang bought a fishing boat that the first barbecue stall was built in the village.
He is the owner of a barbecue restaurant in Huhai Town. He felt that there were enough staff in the restaurant, and that there was a drift net fishing boat on the Qinglong Bay side. The people on the boat were all young guys who liked to drink and eat barbecue, so he drove a van here every evening and set up a barbecue stall.
Later, with the start of the construction of the Binhai Hotel, there were hundreds of more construction team members in the village. In addition, Xiang Yang bought a large ship with more crew members, and the number of barbecue stalls gradually increased. Some barbecue stall owners once set up their stalls at the Qinglongwan Wharf, but were later forcibly driven away by Village Chief Zuo. Now they are only allowed to set up stalls at the west end of the village.
"Oh? There's a barbecue stall? That's great. Wait for me to go back, take a shower and change clothes, and I'll treat you to some BBQ in the evening." Zhuo Shao said.
Xiang Yang originally wanted to refuse.
But when the words came to his lips, Xiang Yang swallowed the refusal back.
"I can go with you to take a look, but forget about eating skewers. I have things to do later in the evening. Drinking can easily disrupt things, but not drinking won't be enough fun." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
After hearing what Xiang Yang said, Master Zhuo stopped trying to persuade him. "Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes now, and then we'll go sit on the beach and enjoy the sea breeze."
soon.
Zhuo Shao and his companions went back to take a shower, changed their clothes, and walked towards the west end of the village together.
The west end of the village, near the entrance of Qinglongwan, used to be the best location of Qinglongwan. In the early years, the villagers of Yanlong Village liked to build houses at the west entrance of the village.
Therefore, the houses at the west entrance of the village are some of the earliest houses in the entire Qinglongwan. They are not only short but also dilapidated.
During this period, many villagers have earned some money, and many of them have used the money to renovate their houses. However, in the west end of the village, no one has renovated a single house because these houses are so dilapidated that even renovating them would be a waste of money.
