The Roast Whole Lamb was a bit expensive for ordinary people. In comparison, the seafood restaurant next door was a lot more wallet-friendly.
The fishermen in the fleet had been handing over 20 percent of their fishing to Lu Lin.
"You can just put the unsalable fish in this basket, I will pay you accordingly," Qin Ming stood aside and comforted the fishermen who felt sad that they had some unmarketable fish in their net.
Han Feng walked to Qin Ming and said, "Captain Qin, no one wants this type of fish. Why would Magistrate Lu want so much?"
Qin Ming glanced at Han Feng and said, "Working for Magistrate Lu and Second Master Chen for so many years, I've learned something, there is nothing unmarketable in this world, you know?"
Han Feng scratched his head in confusion.
"You will understand later."
Qin Ming thought to himself, 'Magistrate Lu is going to open a buffet restaurant soon, we can make fish balls and fish cakes with these fish.'
As soon as Lu Lin's buffet restaurant opened, it attracted a lot of people. The price was very wallet-friendly, it was 10 cents per head, and on the opening day, it was 50 percent off, so each person could enjoy a seafood buffet with just 5 cents.
Although most of the villagers were not rich, 5 cents was still nothing to them.
Buffet was a new idea to the local people, they were thrilled by the idea of 'all-you-can-eat'.
......
After the number of the fishermen and their family members hit a hundred, Lu Lin had suspended the recruiting, the Qin brothers started to manage the team members according to regulations.
Qin Lang divided the fishermen into groups. Each month, the best fisherman could be rewarded.
"Wang He, how much did you sell for your strange fish?"
It had been a while since Chen Xiao Cai collected strange-looking fish. Wang He was lucky enough to find a strange fish days ago and sold it to Chen Xiao Cai.
"Five hundred cents," Wang He gesticulated a five with his fingers.
A few fishermen said with envy, "500 cents! It is half of my monthly income!"
Wang He smiled and said, "Second Master has given me three meal tickets as well."
" Tickets to the buffet restaurant, right?"
Wang He nodded and said, "Yeah! I heard they are sold for 10 cents each."
"It's true, it's half price on the opening day, but it has been 10 cents since that day. Wang He, you can go have a meal, treat yourself!"
"It's best to have dinner there and skip lunch, you know, so you can have a lot of food!"
"Right, right, don't drink too much water before you go."
"I can definitely make it worthwhile. I heard that there are a lot of delicacies, including buns, you know what, the worst scenario is I just eat 10 buns and make the money worthwhile."
......
The fishermen had a good time giving Wang He advice and suggestions.
The buffet restaurant was very popular, and many people went there in the hope of 'money well spent'. They would usually go there with an empty stomach, some people didn't even drink water.
Chen Xiao Cai sometimes would reward the best-performance fishermen with meal tickets.
With the stimulation of this reward, many fishermen worked extra hard.
......
Han Xiao was sitting on the bed when his father came back home. He immediately sat up straight and said, "Father, Chuan'er's father got two free meal tickets for free!"
Han Feng nodded and said, "Yeah! I've heard of it."
Jiang Xian was an expert in fishing, that was why Han Feng invited him to join the fleet.
Han Feng thought to himself, 'Jiang Xian, now you must feel so great that you have joined the fleet and your ability is being appreciated, hmm, joining the fleet is a wise decision, isn't it?'
Han Xiao Zhou held his chin and said, "Chuan'er said that his father wouldn't take him to the buffet restaurant, saying that he has a small stomach, it's not money well-spent."
Han Feng nodded, "Well, he is not wrong."
......
Chen Xiao Cai stood upstairs in the restaurant watching the customers coming and go, he turned around and smiled at Shen Chi, "A lot of people here have a big appetite, don't they?"
Shen Chi looked at the account book and said, "The profit is still very high. A lot of ingredients are from the fleet, the business is doing great."
