Chapter 23 Selling Fish
When Lin Hao returned to the yard, he met Sha Zhu who was waiting for him.

Sha Zhu stopped Lin Hao and said, "Lin Hao, wait a minute, I have something to tell you!"

"What's the matter?" Lin Hao asked in confusion.
Then Sha Zhu talked about Qin Huairu wanting some fish.

"That's the way it is. Their family is really in financial difficulty. Let me give them the money!"

Lin Hao righteously refused:
"Silly Zhu, this won't do. This is a government decision. We can't open this loophole. If we open it, the whole compound will be in chaos! If the news gets to the factory, everyone will be in trouble. This is a mistake. This won't do!"

Then Lin Hao thought about it and said in a low voice: "However, their village chief said that he would send me a few fish after the matter is completed. Everything will be easy to talk about then. Do you understand!"

"Okay then. It's not good to take advantage of the public. So it's settled then! We'll talk about it later!"

After saying that, the two separated.

Then Lin Hao went to the backyard and found Lao Zhou to talk about the renovation for tomorrow.

Nothing in the night

Lin Hao got up at dawn.

Without even having breakfast, I rode my bike to find the carts that we had agreed to meet yesterday.

Lin Hao said: "I will wait for you outside the city first. I am afraid that others will wait for a long time, so you should hurry up too!"

"Okay, we're going to have dinner here, it won't bother you!"

Outside the West City, Lin Hao and others were there. Seeing that there was no one around, he took out the eight buckets in the space and put them on the ground. He put the fish and a small amount of water in them. When each bucket was full, there was about two hundred kilograms on average.

After a while, Lin Hao saw four carts coming.

So he stepped forward and said, "Everyone come here and put these barrels on the car quickly."

Then the five people cooperated with each other to put the eight barrels on four carts and tied them up with ropes.

Lin Hao said: "Okay, let's send it to the steel mill quickly. If we continue to mess with it, the fish will probably die soon!"

One of the old men was pulling the cart. He looked at Lin Hao and was interested in the fish in the bucket, so he said:
"Brother, can you sell us two of these fish?"

As soon as Lin Hao heard him speak, he knew what he meant and said:

"It's not that I don't want to, but the fish is public property. If I sell it, it would be considered as speculation, which is a mistake!"

In fact, it’s not that Lin Hao doesn’t want to sell. It’s the same situation as Qin Huairu in the courtyard. This door cannot be opened. Once it is opened, it cannot be closed, and countless people will flock in.

When the fisherman heard that the fish was public property, he gave up the idea of ​​buying it. At worst, he could go to the river outside the city and break a hole in the ice to catch a few fish for free.

"After a short while, everyone finally arrived at the gate of the steel mill." Lin Hao felt relieved when he saw the steel mill.

Lin Hao stepped forward and knocked on the door of the guard room: "Uncle Qian, please help open the door."

Since Lin Hao had told Uncle Qian about this yesterday, when Uncle Qian saw it was Lin Hao, he opened the door directly.

Uncle Qian looked at the fish in the bucket and asked, "Wow! This fish is really big. Haozi, how many kilograms does it weigh?"

Lin Hao said: "It's about 2,000 kilograms. We should be able to eat fish today."

"This is good, this is good, this must be hard work for you!"

"It's okay. As long as I can give everyone a bite of meat, it's worth the trip!"

After saying goodbye to the security guard Uncle Qian, he delivered the fish to the outside of the kitchen while the evening shift had not yet ended and the morning shift had not yet arrived. He gave the wages to a few waiters and then sent them out of the factory.

When I returned to the kitchen door, no one else came, so I took out the space fish pond and put some fish in it until it was full, no matter how many I put in.

Then wait for the kitchen staff to come to work.

Soon, many workers gathered around. They heard from the guard that the factory had bought a lot of fish today and they would have fish for lunch, so they all came to see the novelty. Several workers started to discuss it.

"So many fish! They're quite big!"

"Today is our first meal. Look at the size of this fish. It must be at least 4 to 5 kilograms!"

"Eating fish is not the first meat to eat. To be honest, eating fatty meat is more satisfying!"

"I still want to, but meat is so hard to buy!"

"It's good to have fish to eat. It's better than cabbage and potatoes, right?"

"That's true. The New Year is almost here. It would be great if we could buy some fish back home!"

Lin Hao was very happy to hear these discussions. He knew that most of these people would not eat the fish they bought at noon. They basically wanted to take it home and feed their families.

Before, Lin Hao simply wanted to make some money to replenish his almost empty wallet, but after listening to the discussions of his workers, Lin Hao felt that he could actually do more for such a win-win situation.

It's not just about money. With space in hand, there are so many ways to make money.

After a while, the people in the kitchen came to work, led by Sha Zhu. He would not come so early in the past, after all, he had so many apprentices, but the situation was different today.

"Wow, this fish is really big!" Sha Zhu said with emotion
Lin Hao said, "Shazhu, go find your director and accountant and deal with the fish quickly. The vitality of these fish is decreasing. I think some of them are about to die!"

"Yes, yes, it's hard to deal with a dead fish. Liu Lan, go and notify Deputy Director Li, Ma Hua, go call our director, and Fatty, go call the accountant."

Soon, the canteen director arrived. He had received a notice from the deputy factory director yesterday that a batch of fish would arrive today. Without any nonsense, he asked everyone to help catch the fish and weigh them. The total weight was 1869 kilograms.

Looking at the busy crowd, Lin Hao did not go up to help and cause trouble, but went straight to the canteen director.

Afterwards, Lin Hao took the note written by the canteen director, went to Deputy Director Li’s office, and knocked on the door.

"dong dong dong"

"Please come in"

"Well, how's it going?"

"Director, I didn't disappoint you. The fish have been delivered. The total weight is 1869 kilograms, the same as what we weighed in the village. Moreover, there are several fish weighing more than ten kilograms!" Lin Hao said.

After saying that, he took out the note again and asked, "Director, this is the note from the canteen. It's 1869 kilograms, and at 542 yuan per kilogram, the total is 1 yuan, of which 142 yuan is exchanged for various tickets."

"Okay, give it to me and I'll sign it for you right away." Deputy Director Li didn't waste any words. He picked up the note, looked at it, confirmed that there was no problem, signed it and handed it to Lin Hao.

"Okay, go get the money and tickets! Take them back to the person!"

However, after Lin Hao received the note, he stood there and did not leave.

When Deputy Factory Director Li saw Lin Hao and got the signed note, he looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, so he said:

"Don't worry, Xiaolin! Since you are away for the factory, it will be counted as a business trip. Not only will your salary not be deducted, but you will also receive subsidies."

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Lin Hao quickly said, "Director, you misunderstood. I'm not asking for salary, but for other things!"

"As for the other matters, then tell me. Is there any difficulty that cannot be solved?" said Deputy Director Li.

Lin Hao said, "That's right. From what I heard from them, they have a way to get some extra pigs! Dozens of them! I wonder if the factory wants them."

"What! Is this true?" Deputy Director Li stood up in surprise and asked in disbelief.

Lin Hao said: "It is indeed true. I talked to them and they also want to sell pigs to our factory, but they don't want to come forward directly."

"Oh! Is that so?"
