Chapter 166 Taking Care of the Business
Chapter 166 Taking Care of the Business
The renowned author Zang Li has joined the platform with his new work, "My Fishing Raft Will Ask for Help"!
Zhou Miao didn't sleep well on the first night after the fish raft was completed.
I was woken up by a phone call from Qin Han before eight o'clock in the morning.
After glancing at the two women on either side, whose bodies were partially exposed, Zhou Miao got out of bed, covered them with the blanket, and then got dressed and washed up.
Leaving the room, he frowned at the bright sunshine and the absence of any sea breeze.
It's already mid-October, and the weather is still so hot. The customers who came to fish on the raft today are probably going to suffer.
The speedboat arrived at the dock, where Qin Han and several familiar faces from the group had already arrived.
"Why are you all up so early?"
"If it weren't for your fish farm's rule that we don't start work until 8 a.m., we could start even earlier."
"As people get older, they need less sleep."
Zhou Miao's single exclamation immediately broke the defenses of Qin Han and the other men, who were all nearing forty.
"Don't think you can say whatever you want just because we know each other well. We're all in our prime, not old at all!"
"Not old? How many times a week do you submit your assignments?"
Thinking about his achievements last night, Zhou Miao felt a little smug.
This body is in great shape; just three points are enough to have such a significant effect.
Based on this method of adding points, he suspected that before his physique improved, he only had three points of strength.
"Hand in homework? What homework? We're forty years old, we don't need to study and do homework like kids."
Qin Han, a robust man nearing forty, had eyes as clear as a child's at this moment.
He looked at his friend beside him: "Old Wu, are you still studying at your age?"
Old Wu shook his head: "What kind of books he reads is my son's business."
Zhou Miao looked at the group of people pretending to be stupid and found it somewhat amusing.
But he didn't expose it. Instead, he pointed to the speedboat behind him and said, "If you want to fish, get on the boat quickly. I'll take you to the fish farm first."
"Okay, okay, I took the small fish I caught from you last time and made a big pot of dry-fried fish. My family loved it." Qin Han immediately sat down in the passenger seat.
Old Wu laughed and said, "That's obvious. Fresh, live fish tastes good even when stewed. I even went online to find videos to learn how to make Minnan-style soy sauce brine. It's incredibly fragrant."
"Haha, I brought some of the fish from last time for my parents, and they asked me about it after they finished eating. If A Miao Fishing Raft hadn't been closed for a while, I would have come much earlier."
"That's right! But I went fishing at someone else's fishing raft the day before yesterday, and I only caught about ten small fish all day. It wasn't nearly as fun as fishing here with A-Miao."
Listening to their discussion, Zhou Miao couldn't help but smile.
He's happy when customers come to his fishing raft to fish.
"Then catch as much fish as you can today and take it back with you. Feel free to use the fishing rods and other equipment on the fishing raft. The bait is in the freezer at the convenience store, so take whatever you like."
"Okay." Qin Han nodded, then, as if remembering something, he took out his phone, opened the group-buying code, and asked, "Ah Miao, do you want to scan this code later?"
Zhou Miao glanced at it; it was a group-buying deal on Douyin (TikTok).
He launched a promotion right after opening: the ticket price, which was originally 100 yuan, was now only 68 yuan for seven days.
After this period, the ticket price should be fixed at 88 yuan, and the ticket prices for the surrounding fishing rafts are basically the same.
"I don't care about these things. When my girlfriend gets up, you can ask her to scan the code."
"Oh my, you're already being controlled before you're even married?" Qin Han teased.
But looking into his eyes, it was as if he were looking at a great wronged person.
Old Wu added, "Ah Miao, I consider you a brother, so let me give you some advice. Since you're not married, don't let your girlfriend have control of your money."
The others echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, even if you're married, it won't work. Unless your wife is good at managing money, can save it, and plans her spending. There are few women like that these days; they're all spendthrifts."
"Yes, the atmosphere has been bad these past few years. I saw that things weren't going well, so I took back control of the economy."
Although we haven't met many times, they are all customers who buy fish.
However, these people's temperaments and personalities suited Zhou Miao's tastes quite well, so even though they only had a few brief encounters, the relationship between them was quite good.
Old Wu and the others thought highly of him, which is why they said something caring. He naturally wouldn't be ungrateful.
"Thank you, brothers. I understand everything you're saying. There won't be any problems."
Hearing this, Qin Han immediately laughed and said, "Not bad, looks like you have a high status in the family!"
"The main thing is that my girlfriend is clingy and obedient, unlike some of the complaining girls online." Zhou Miao thought about Lu Xiaoxiao and Luo Qianqian's personalities, and started the speedboat and headed towards the fish raft.
There's no need to mention Lu Xiaoxiao; she revolves entirely around him, and now even Lu Xingyu is second in rank.
Luo Qianqian may seem to have her own personality, but in reality, he has her completely under his control in every aspect; she just refuses to admit defeat verbally.
She's all soft inside, but her mouth is incredibly stubborn.
Upon arriving at the fish raft, Qin Han and the others went about their own business.
Seeing that he didn't need to serve anyone, Zhou Miao simply steered the boat back to the dock and bought breakfast for three people.
Then I bought several electric fans and several five-meter-long power strips.
Previously, considering that the opening was in mid-October, the weather should not be too hot, and there was a sunshade, so we thought we wouldn't need an electric fan.
Today's weather told him that he simply couldn't stand being outside without a fan.
Sure enough, when they saw him return with an electric fan, Qin Han and the others, who were already feeling the stuffy heat, lit up and very proactively put down their fishing rods to help carry the things.
"That feels so good!" They turned on the electric fan, and the air flowing through the sunshade immediately blew away the heat from their bodies.
But Zhou Miao knew that this was just because the sweat was evaporating and creating a cool feeling, so he specially brought over a few plastic baskets and scooped some crushed ice from the freezer to put next to them to cool them down.
"Although your fish raft is newly opened, the service is quite good," Old Wu said with satisfaction.
They didn't invite any acquaintances today; they mainly came to experience the service first.
If things are going well, it's not impossible to ask someone to come and patronize the business.
"Since you're here, of course we'll make sure you're comfortable." Zhou Miao smiled, then picked up the breakfast on the table. "You guys go fishing first, I'm going to have breakfast with my girlfriend."
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
"Don't worry about us."
Zhou Miao waved to the group and then went to the wooden house.
The two women were coaxed, tricked, and goaded by him last night, and stayed up with him until three or four in the morning before finally falling asleep. So they are still sleeping soundly and show no signs of waking up.
But Zhou Miao still went over and patted their buttocks to wake them up.
"Get up and have some breakfast first, then go back to sleep."
Luo Qianqian turned over impatiently and rolled up all the blankets.
"Hug me~"
Lu Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes, her face full of sleepiness. When she saw Zhou Miao, she grinned and opened her arms to him, unaware that her private parts were completely exposed.
Zhou Miao's temper flared instantly. His enhanced physique made him incredibly powerful, but remembering that there were customers outside, he forcibly suppressed his desire.
He picked up her pajamas that she had thrown on the chair next to him and put them on her.
"Okay, let's eat breakfast first, then we'll hug later."
Zhou Miao rubbed her head, then went to the other side, lifted the blanket, and slapped Luo Qianqian's big butt hard.
"The sun's already high in the sky, get up!"
