The boatmen were divided into two groups. One group stayed at the dock to watch the hired workers unloading the cargo.

Another group came to the purchasing station and was responsible for sorting out the goods that Tianqin wanted.

Tianqin built a cold storage of more than 1300 square meters, which is divided into seven rooms with independent temperature control. It is quite convenient. It was put into use in June, and now there is no need to worry about having too much fish and no place to store it.

After a while, Dayu also came over, followed by his girlfriend Cheng Xiaoran.

"Oh my god, Dayu, you are so unreliable. You didn't even say a word when your sister-in-law came." When Zhao Qin saw Cheng Xiaoran, the anger on his face was not fake.

Dayu blushed slightly, "She just came here this afternoon. I know you are busy, so I plan to bring her to your house tomorrow."

After thinking about what was wrong, he immediately refuted her harshly, “This is your sister-in-law, you are not as old as me.”

"Get lost." Zhao Qin ignored him and looked at Cheng Xiaoran, "Sister-in-law, stay a little longer this time. I'll take you out to sea some other day."

Cheng Xiaoran should be a senior this year, and the courses are not so tight. According to her, she can stay until the National Day holiday is over.

She was originally from Shanghai. When she first started dating Dayu and met her parents, her parents looked down on Dayu.

However, his attitude has changed a lot during this period. Dayu is not only the general manager of Tianqin, but also a shareholder with 3% of the shares. He also owns 3% of the shares of the American fishing company.

The current valuation of the fishery company is as high as 22 billion US dollars, which means that the current shares are worth 6600 million US dollars, which is several hundred million RMB.

At such a young age, with a net worth of over 100 million, yet she is still not satisfied with such a son-in-law, Cheng Xiaoran will probably never get married in her life.

It was too late. Axue must have gone to bed early. Otherwise, Zhao Qin would have to call his wife over. Dayu seemed to know what he was thinking.

"Axue is pregnant, so don't say hello so late. We'll go there early tomorrow morning."

Zhao Qin nodded, and soon plunged into his busy work again.

The goods that the buyers want are relatively simple, so they can just bring a car to weigh them. However, Tianqin's is a little more troublesome. It is too troublesome to use a large truck because it is close, so they can only use tricycles to pull the goods over one by one.

"Uncle, is the quality okay?"

The main reason why Dayu asked Chen's father to be a consultant was that he himself did not have sufficient understanding of the quality of seafood.

“They are all fresh, but slaughtering these squids is a big job.”

"I have arranged everything. Someone will slaughter them tomorrow. It's 20 cents per pound. The more you work, the more you earn."

There are many women in the town who are now taking odd jobs like Tianqin. If they are diligent, they can earn a good monthly income.

It costs 1 yuan to clean a chicken. If you are quick, you can clean dozens of chickens a day, and it is not too difficult to earn hundreds of yuan.

It is more expensive to clean a duck, which costs 5 yuan directly. However, ducks are really too troublesome. There are many fine hairs on their bodies that need to be plucked bit by bit, and a dehairing machine cannot remove them completely.

"Well, the price is right. If you are quick, you can kill several hundred kilograms." Killing the squid is very simple. Just cut it open with scissors and remove the internal organs. The cartilage is not removed from the dried squid, so it is easier to shape.

A big squid weighs more than two kilograms, and a small one weighs about one kilogram. If you are quick, you can clean it in less than a minute.

By the time all of Tianqin's goods were put into storage, most of the buyers had left.

"Take your share of the goods and hurry home to rest. It's late at night and I won't provide food for you. If you are hungry, go home and eat by yourself." Zhao Qin and his boatman said with a smile.

Then he remembered something, "The day after tomorrow will be sunny, and it happens to be the weekend, so we won't go out to sea. At 7 o'clock sharp, bring your wife and children to my house to gather."

After sending the boatmen away, Zhao Qin and Chen Dong began to settle accounts.

"How do we settle Tianqin's bill?" Chen Dong made the invoice and put Tianqin's invoice aside. The invoice was signed by Dayu, Chen's father, and the warehouse manager.

"Let's pay now. Tianqin should have enough money now. You can hand the bill to the finance department tomorrow."

Chen Dong nodded and pointed to the total value of the order, "There are a lot of valuable goods on this trip, a total of 473 million."

Zhao Qin picked up the pen and signed the list, and left the rest to Chen Dong and Axue. It was already past two in the morning, and it was time for him to go home and sleep.

"Don't leave in a hurry. I forgot something. When you came back from the yacht today, I saw that you didn't set off firecrackers or pray for talismans. Remember to make up for it tomorrow.

My dad just reminded me before going to bed to set off firecrackers early tomorrow morning."

Zhao Qin frowned slightly, it seemed that he would not be able to sleep in tomorrow morning.

"Then I'll go back first..."

Chen Dong suddenly remembered something, "Ah Qin, do you remember Mr. Feng?"

"Mr. Feng from the jewelry store? Of course I remember him. When I got married to Ah He, he came. I was just about to ask you to let me know if they have any events."

"That's what I'm talking about. His son is getting married in December. Should we go together then?"

"Guangzhou?"

"I heard from Lao Jin that it was in Mr. Feng's hometown, which should be Guangzhou." Lao Jin is a regular customer of the purchasing station. 20% of the goods on Zhao Qin's ship were taken away by Mr. Jin.

Unexpectedly, the other party also knew Mr. Feng.

Zhao Qin calculated the time and thought that he should be fine in December. "Okay, you ask around and we'll go there. We can talk about the money we owe you if you delay it. We really can't owe you a favor."

……

The next morning, after Zhao Qin got up, he wanted to take Chen Xue to the dock, but Chen Xue had her own things to do. "My eldest sister will go back early in the morning. You are too busy. I will go and see her off."

Since Sister Yan was discharged from the hospital, Zhao Mei has been staying in town for the past two nights, and Zhao Qin has had no time to visit her at all.

"Okay, tell Big Sister, I really can't leave here."

"Big sister can understand. Big brother and sister-in-law will be there soon."

Zhao Qin hummed, thought for a moment, and ran to the cellar to get a watch and two bottles of good wine. "This is for my brother-in-law. Let your eldest sister take it."

Watching Chen Xue go out, he didn't have time to eat breakfast and wandered to the village pier.

Zhao Anguo had been waiting for him at the dock. "The one with 10,000 gunshots, you fire it first."

Zhao Qin sighed, "Dad, have you prepared anything?"

"You are too careless about the beginning and the end. You knew the yacht was coming back, but you didn't prepare anything in advance. As a result, your sister had to prepare the gift bag until midnight last night."

Zhao Qin smiled awkwardly, this was indeed his own negligence.

As he lit a string of firecrackers, soon, the villagers all rushed over here, each holding a string of small firecrackers in their hands. This is also the custom in the village.

After all, almost all of them are fishermen, and adding a boat is a big and happy event.

The host didn't set off firecrackers last night, so they couldn't set off firecrackers first. Ah He was the first to set off fireworks. "Brother, this guy is really impressive."

Ah He was not at all shy. In his opinion, whatever his brother had was the same as what he had.

"Let's set off the fireworks."

For a moment, the entire dock was filled with smoke and the sound of firecrackers. Around eight o'clock, not only Chen Dong came, but even all of his own boatmen came.

Ah He took the gift bags and distributed them to the people present.

In the past, it was a luminous cake, which is a baked cake sprinkled with sesame seeds on the outside. Now, in order to keep up with the times, it has become a gift bag.

There were some candies and a pack of cigarettes in it.

"I said, aren't you sleepy? You come here so early in the morning." Zhao Qin couldn't help but complain. He was busy until midnight last night, and he definitely couldn't get a good rest after being on the boat for several days.

"I thought about coming over to take a look at it yesterday at midnight." Brother Mao's words caused everyone around him to laugh.

After a while, Qian Kun came running over with a few whips in his hand. "Old Ye and the others couldn't make it in time, so they asked me to represent them and congratulate them."
