Chapter 17 Big Purchases

When they went back, Xia Yu also talked about fishmongers with his father. After all, his colleagues are enemies. Just because their family has channels to directly supply wild high-end seafood to restaurants, special fishmongers will make less money, and there will still be jealous situations.

"Everyone wants to make money, and they all rely on their abilities. There is nothing to say about normal competition. What should I do. As for the others, as long as I pay attention to it, there is no problem without evidence." Xia Mingguang was not so worried about this. He worked as a soldier for several years when he was young, but unfortunately he was dragged into the water by Xia Yu later.

Xia Yu smiled and said that this is the reason. He himself was as low-key as possible. If he really couldn't hide it, there was nothing he could do.

When he was almost home, he put some seafood into the insulated box and bucket like magic. Just now the fishmonger came up with a thick face and saw only Xia Mingguang's catches.

After Xia Xue heard the sound coming out to help count their morning harvests, the whole family prepared for lunch.

It is still a "simple" fisherman's dish, stir-fried spicy snails, scallion shells and conchs, steamed blue crabs and stone crabs. These are all obtained by the two of them rushing to the sea in the morning. The two blue crabs just passed the life and death line of two taels became a meal on the plate. Yesterday, Xia Mingguang came back from fishing and didn't finish eating. Shi Jiugong was also used to make soup in the fish tank, and also fried a large plate of lettuce from his own vegetable field.

The blue crabs that Xia Yu caught were at least one pound, and Xia’s mother couldn’t bear to eat them, so she planned to send them to Mingji Seafood Restaurant.

After lunch, Xia Yu and his son started together and quickly packed all the seafood in the fish tank at home in a variety of categories, made oxygen, packed bags, and then put them in a foam box filled with ice. They were transported to Yuhai City for a few hours without any problems.

Xia Yu also told her, "Xiaoxue, you drive directly to Mingji Seafood Restaurant. For dinner, ask the restaurant master to help process these separately packaged seafood, call Brother Chen and Linlin, and the masters together, and have supper in the restaurant before going back to school."

Xia Mingguang also told her, "If you want to learn cooking skills from the master, put desserts in your mouth."

Although Xia's mother, Chen Fuqiong, often complains about her children, she actually feels very sorry for her baby daughter. When Xia Xue went back to school this time, she wanted to bring everything she could with her family, and even asked her to bring some fresh vegetables that were not injected with pesticides. However, they did not let Xia Xue move out of the dormitory and rent a house outside, so she couldn't open the fire and cook by herself.

Xia Xue nodded and said yes, and said that she had communicated with Zhou Chen yesterday and sent him photos and videos of the big lobster. Then she also asked Xia Yu, "Brother, have you forgotten something?"

Xia Yu was puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Xia Xue smiled and said, "Aren't you going to order seafood to send to your beautiful junior sister?"

"What do you know?"

Xia Xue laughed, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about! You're almost graduating and you won't start it, it's even harder to find opportunities."

"Just ordinary friends and business partners." Xia Yu only replied.

"It means that there is still a emotional foundation. Brother, you have to work harder!" Xia Xue also cheered him up.

After hearing this, Xia's mother supported her daughter and said that Xia Yu's search for a girlfriend should have been put on the agenda.

Xia Mingguang is not as enthusiastic about gossiping as their women, but it is always right to tell Xia Yu that it is always right to do a good job in human relationships and worldly affairs.

Xia Yu was so upset that he said in the end, "These things must be done with the flow, so don't worry so much. I will send them to me personally when I return to Yuhai."

"What fate should you follow? It's not okay for a man to take the initiative. You can't let the girl chase you. Xiaoxue, right?" Xia's mother could see clearly. Xia Xue quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice and continued to give him advice.

After everything was packed up, Xia Yu was about to drive her to Yangdong County to meet with He Linlin.

Xia Xue said, "Brother, I can drive myself, you can see my skills!"

"I'll go to the county town to buy some things!" Xia Yu said.

Xia’s father and mother agreed, so Xia Xue reluctantly accepted his kindness.

Before leaving, they did not forget to tell them that it was nothing to be slower, safety first.

The big yellow dog at home chased them to the entrance of the village. On the way, the brother and sister were happy not to talk about his relationship. Xia Xue is a smart person from Bingxue, so he didn't force him to discuss this topic. Anyway, there were many topics that the two could talk about, and Xia Xue also said happily, "Brother Chen's restaurant business is really good. I sent him a lobster video last night, and he quickly replied that it had been pre-sold and it was a dish of Bai Xue Hidden Dragon. I can learn to make this dish with the master tonight."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "That's good. We will have a good time when Xiaoxue returns from studying!"

"Yeah, I'll go home to cook during the summer vacation! There is still about a month left, and I can learn more dishes, it depends on what kind of seafood my brother can catch." Xia Xue suddenly remembered, "How about I buy some saffron myself and we will make seafood paella at that time."

"No, you can easily buy fake ones without channels. I'll ask my friends to buy some." Xia Yu also wondered when he answered whether he could plant some in the space.

Xia Xue nodded happily and said, "You can buy some and try it out first. I heard that drinking saffron from Iran is particularly effective for women. My mother is so busy every day and I refuse to listen to it many times. After all, health is the most important thing. Saffron is too expensive. It is said that one gram of level one costs sixty or seventy, but one gram can last for a long time, so you can't drink too much."

"Just leave it to me to buy it!" Xia Yu said that he had no choice but to use the hardworking Xia Ma. She was the type who could not be idle at all, and she was busy with all kinds of housework to grow vegetables and take care of them.

"Brother is the best!" Xia Xue smiled and said, "We can make a deluxe version of the paella at that time."

Xia Yu deeply agreed. The foodie brother and sister talked about food, and time flies very quickly.

Xia Xue had already called He Linlin to communicate and asked her out when she was about to arrive in their community. The brother and sister did not plan to visit her house, so they did not prepare seafood or anything else to give to their house.

After meeting with He Linlin, Xia Yu got off the car and asked them to drive to Yuhai City to go to school by themselves. The distance was not far, so there was no problem for the two of them to take turns to drive.

Xia Yu did not forget to remind them to pay attention to safety and called him. Xia Xue only smiled and waved to him, "I know, goodbye brother!"

He Linlin also politely said goodbye to him, "Goodbye senior!"

After seeing them off, Xia Yu also took a taxi to buy things.

He first went to the largest local flower market and was about to find out if there were any bulbs for saffron. He planned to try to see them all first. After chatting with Xia Xue, he also realized that using space to grow vegetables, although it was growing well, it felt a bit wasteful. It is undoubtedly more appropriate to plant precious medicinal materials such as saffron, or tea trees, etc. It is not worth mentioning this for sale, so he can satisfy his needs first.

There are really everything in the flower market, and there are also saffron bulbs sold. He bought five kilograms for 100 yuan per kilogram. He planned to try the water first, and also asked the boss for some advice on planting techniques.

Then I bought some ginseng seeds, which were relatively cheaper. The key is that he could not buy a pound of seeds.

He didn't plan to plant other medicinal materials. The space is still quite small now, and the space required to salvage the wrecked treasure is quite large. Fortunately, the space is growing every day, giving him about a room of about 100 square meters.

This kind of planting is just the instinct of the flower planter. If you don’t plant anything in the open space, you always feel uncomfortable if you don’t plant anything.

While no one was paying attention, Xia Yu took saffron and ginseng into the space and planted it.

In fact, there is a particularly expensive Chinese medicinal material in his space now, that is, the seahorse raised in artificial oceans.

The seahorse is named because its head resembles a horse's head. It is a unique and precious small fish in the near-land shallow sea, belonging to the genus of the Seahorse of the Seahorse family of the Seahorse. The seahorse is a precious Chinese medicine with high economic value. It has medicinal functions such as strengthening the body, nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, relaxing muscles and revitalizing the collaterals, anti-inflammatory and pain relief, calming the mind, relieving cough and relieving asthma, and is especially effective in treating neurological diseases. It has been favored by people since ancient times, and men have a special liking for this, and everyone understands it.

Although Xia Yu doesn’t need to eat seahorses now, it’s no problem to raise them first. There is a lot of demand for seahorses in the market!

Then he went to several stores selling chemical raw materials and purchased Wan Super Energy glue and other related things in batches such as acetone, dilute nitric acid, acrylic acid, talc powder, gypsum, epoxy resin glue and other related things.

These chemical products are used to deal with porcelain on shipwrecks, especially overglaze porcelain such as colorful porcelain. Cleaning, reinforcement and repairing are all needed, and the demand is quite large.

Even if there is not so much time to repair the broken porcelain, Xia Yu will prepare the materials first and can do various repairs at any time when he has time.

He also went to the hardware store and bought a lot of tools, small hammers, brushes, spray guns, ropes, etc.

Afterwards, he went to the wholesale department to buy a lot of plastic basins, plastic frames, plastic boxes, plastic wrap, foam boxes and other things, which are all useful in the future.

After buying a batch of things, he had to work hard to find some places with no people, mainly without surveillance, such as public toilets, to put all these things into the space. Fortunately, Yangdong County is not like Yuhai City, the provincial capital, where cameras are everywhere.

Xia Xue called him at half past five and said that they had arrived at Zhouji Seafood Restaurant safely.

Zhou Chen also sent him a message on WeChat and confirmed that the money was transferred directly to Xia Xue. He did not forget to laugh at him, a mad girl who gave her too much living expenses! Zhou Chen also accepted the kindness of Xia Yu and his family. In fact, they were not willing to eat such wild seafood. The more important reason is that the customer is God. The most important thing is to meet the needs of old customers. Zhou Chen also laughed at him as he enjoyed happiness with Xia Xue.
