Dong Xiaorou and Li Zhi worked together to move the ingredients into the factory.
Six hundred pounds of wild yellow croaker. Anything with the word "wild" attached to it wouldn't be cheap. Li Zhi couldn't tell if it was truly wild!
Opening the freezer, Li Zhi picked out the two largest fish and put them in a basin. He handed it to Dong Xiaorou and said with a smile, "Stew it, stew it." Let's taste this wild yellow croaker for lunch.
Dong Xiaorou didn't say anything, took the basin, and walked out of the processing workshop.
Wild yellow croaker, especially those weighing over a pound, would fetch at least 500 yuan per pound in the market. Blue Moon Bay Hotel had ordered 600 pounds, and it was evident that they were affluent.
Li Zhi wasn't a good person, but he wasn't a scoundrel either. There were things he could do, and things he couldn't. For instance, he could produce 200 pounds of pure yellow croaker fish balls from 600 pounds of yellow croaker, but he absolutely couldn't blend in other fish varieties to preserve the yellow croaker for selling purposes.
When adding the ingredient "wild yellow croaker fish" to the machine, it was impossible to fit all 600 pounds of yellow croaker into the machine at once. It would have to be done in batches, with a maximum of 200 pounds of raw materials at a time, and the production capacity was one hour and twenty minutes.
The various equipment and machinery in the factory will definitely need to be upgraded in the future. The machinery Li Zhi was using now was very primitive and could only be used temporarily.
After coming out of the processing workshop, Dong Xiaorou sat on a small stool outside, lost in thought.
"Is the fish stewed?" Li Zhi walked over and asked with a smile.
"It's in the pot!" Dong Xiaorou replied. There was no sign of displeasure on her face at Li Zhi's act of eating the customer's ingredients.
Dong Xiaorou called out to Li Zhi as he was about to leave, "Come here, I have something to tell you!"
"Ah!" Li Zhi moved a stool and walked back, smiling as he asked, "I'm curious, what is it?"
"Are you curious?" Dong Xiaorou asked with a hint of a smile, then said calmly, "There's something I want to tell you."
"During high school, a very handsome male teacher came to our school..."
Li Zhi interrupted her, exclaiming loudly, "What?" A male teacher? I can't believe it. Your taste is quite strong. I mentioned earlier that best friends enjoy arguing, whether it's for fun or over a disagreement. It seems to be true!"
Dong Xiaorou looked at him but didn't say anything. Instead, she got up from her stool and started running after Li Zhi around the factory yard, ignoring his pleas for mercy.
After a long period of running, they finally stopped. Li Zhi was panting and sat on the ground, raising his hands, and saying, "I can't run anymore." "I'm really tired."
Dong Xiaorou rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your physical fitness is too poor." You need to train well. "You won't be able to handle it when you encounter trouble."
After a while of playing around, her mood improved.
"I used to envy Zhao Xueying." She had a good father, a good mother, several good brothers, and she was beautiful, with good skin and a good voice. "She didn't have to worry about her future," Dong Xiaorou said softly.
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Rich people aren't necessarily happy, and they may not live as happily as we do." You may only see that she has a good father, a good mother, and several good brothers, but do you know if her father has any illegitimate children outside? Has he kept mistresses? Is her mother happy? Do her brothers hate her for the family fortune? So, the lives of wealthy people are something we may not fully comprehend, and there is no need to envy them. Maybe in the future, we will become even richer than them. "Who knows?"
Dong Xiaorou scolded him, "Cynical!" Sour grapes. "You don't have money, so you can't stand seeing others living well."
"Hehe!" Li Zhi chuckled twice and didn't argue with her. He used to be wealthier than many individuals, but unforeseen events can occur, and the future is unpredictable.
Li Zhi thought of something and looked at Dong Xiaorou with a sly smile, "Did Miss Zhao ask you something?" Did you say "yes"?
"What did she ask?" Dong Xiaorou asked calmly.
Li Zhi smirked and said, "She asked if I was your man, and you said 'yes.'" "Regardless of what you were thinking at the time, it's a misunderstanding that can't be explained!"
"Do you want to pursue me?" Dong Xiaorou looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi felt a little embarrassed and chuckled, "If I said I didn't want to, I'd be lying." With a beautiful woman like you by my side, I have no problems. How could I not want to?
Dong Xiaorou said calmly, "I advise you not to dwell on it, as it could be life-threatening!"
"What? "Is it that serious?" Li Zhi blinked and said, "Is it like in the TV shows, where you have a powerful fiancé?"
"No!" Dong Xiaorou smiled bitterly and said, "I've been married twice, with valid marriage certificates, but both marriages were disrupted by unforeseen accidents before the weddings took place." One person had a car accident, and the other disappeared at sea. The fortune teller said I'm a "white tiger woman," with a tough fate. No man can withstand it. I'm destined to live alone in this life. "Any man who gets involved with me will have a bad end!"
After saying that, she got up from the ground, brushed off the dirt from her jeans, and walked towards the factory building.
"White tiger woman?" Li Zhi rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, "Could it be the legendary 'white tiger'?"
Then he burst into laughter. He didn't believe in fortune tellers. He jumped up from the ground and ran over, saying, "I'm not an ordinary person." I've been in the same class since elementary school. If you're a white tiger, I'm a dragon. The dragon subdues the white tiger, so you better be prepared to be conquered!
Dong Xiaorou looked at him and scolded, "Nonsense!" You have poor physical fitness. "You need to train well, or you won't be able to handle it when trouble comes."
After playing around for a while, her mood improved significantly.
